C897 Night Thieves



C897 Night Thieves

Night. Hotel.    

    

In the dusky space, an oil lamp hung in the air, emitting a faint yellow radiance. On the bed, a petite girl with a pretty face was sleeping without any precautions, letting out a small snoring sound.    

    

On the other side of the coffee table, two youths were sitting facing each other. One of them was tall and dark, the other was plain looking and dressed in white.    

    

"Master, what did you say?" For a moment, Hai Ou thought that he had heard wrongly, and his swarthy face was full of shock.    

    

"Are you saying that the mayor was a scoundrel in disguise?"    

    

"Yes." Ye Kai nodded as the light reflected off his dark and uncertain expression.    

    

Yun Hee thought that this flawless top-notch disguise technique was actually a technique that Ye Kai had used a long time ago. With just a glance, Ye Kai was able to see through the City Lord's true identity.    

    

It was the Dark-Haired Man who rescued Jiang Xu on the island above the sea.    

    

"But, but he just invited us to his house. He looked very kind." Hai Ou still could not believe it, and said again.    

    

"The manor has been swapped for his spies. Naturally, he hopes that we can go over there. Fortunately, it's within his control."    

    

"Where did the real mayor go?" Hai Ou felt that it made sense, and asked again.    

    

"He's probably already dead." Ye Kai was very clear that this kind of appearance changing technique would require absorbing a large amount of spirit energy and blood aura from the disguised person in order to achieve a perfect disguise effect. With the methods of the few men, they would obviously not think of ways to protect the City Master's life.    

    

"Hiss."    

    

Hearing Ye Kai's words, Hai Ou felt as if his heart had reached his throat, and he suddenly gasped for breath, unable to say a single word.    

    

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked worriedly.    

    

"Then this one is fake, the city lord, then the Immortal Attraction Ganoderma Lucidum …"    

    

"Yes, it should be in his hands."    

    

Ye Kai's words entered his ears, causing him to reveal an expression of unprecedented disappointment.    

    

What he had originally seen became despair. The only Immortal Attraction Ganoderma Lucidum in the Sea God Star was in the hands of the fake City Lord who was acting like a scoundrel. How was he going to save Small Sea Spirit's life?    

    

"What, what should we do?"    

    

Hai Ou opened his mouth as he felt extremely vexed in his heart. Only today did he finally feel regret over giving up on martial arts. No matter how talented he was, he was still just an ordinary person. He could only sit here and watch his sister's condition worsen. He couldn't help him at all.    

    

"Rest well. I'll think of something tomorrow." After Ye Kai left these words, he pushed open the door and walked out.    

    

The moon was bright and the stars were thin. Under the bright moonlight, Ye Kai sat on the roof of the inn as he quietly pondered.    

    

Actually, if not for Hai Ou, with his personality, he would have immediately accepted Yun Hee's invitation and went to the Li Residence to kill off all the spies Yun Hee had brought with him.    

    

But luckily, Yun Hee didn't know that he had already found out his identity. In the future, he would head to the Li Residence, whether it was to steal or rob the Immortal Attraction Ganoderma Lucidum, he would have the chance.    

    

It was just that, if he acted on his own, the situation between Hai Ou and his sister would become extremely dangerous. After all, not only him, the two siblings were the same as Ye Kai.    

    

Thinking about that, Ye Kai flicked his finger, releasing a thin layer of spirit qi, covering the two siblings' room. If there was any movement, he would be able to detect it immediately.    

    

Following that, Ye Kai stood up and looked at the tall White River Tower that was about thousands of metres away from him. Spiritual Qi rose from beneath his feet as his entire body silently rose into the air.    

    

Staying here was not an option. Ye Kai decided to go to White River Tower first to see what kind of clues he could find there. Just at that moment, from within Ye Kai's Spiritual Strength, the brother and sister duo's spirit energy could be seen trembling!    

    

Sensing the change, the expression on Ye Kai's face, who had just left not long ago, changed, and he immediately went back the way he came. It was already deep into the night, who would come visit for no reason?    

    

Except the enemy.    

    

He returned to the inn as fast as he could. In his field of vision, a tiny black figure appeared in front of the window of the guest room where the brother and sister stayed.    

    

Without any hesitation, Ye Kai reached out his hand and shot out ten arrows at the black figure that was about a thousand meters away.    

    

Although the Spiritual Qi flying arrow wasn't destructive, it was enough to stop the black figure from entering the door.    

    

However, what Ye Kai did not expect was that the black figure actually noticed Ye Kai's attack, causing her to jump out of the window like a toad, falling straight to the ground.    

    

"Aiya!"    

    

He landed on the ground, the black figure screamed out loud, rolled a few rounds on the ground, and then ran far away from Ye Kai.    

    

Ye Kai's face sunk. With Red Crystal Longsword in hand, the distance of one thousand meters closed in an instant. In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the black figure.    

    

Whoosh.    

    

The Red Crystal Longsword's body was placed on the black shadow's neck, and the moonlight reflected the cold and biting cold radiance. Looking at that scene, the man wearing the black tight suit immediately raised both of his hands, and begged for mercy.    

    

"Don't, don't kill me! I mean no harm!"    

    

Beneath the black mask, the voice actually sounded extremely young. When Ye Kai heard it, he was startled.    

    

"What are you doing here? Speak." Ye Kai turned his right hand around, allowing the Red Crystal Longsword to move forward another step. The Blood Bead slowly descended along the sword blade, dripping onto the ground and pressing the longsword against the black figure's neck.    

    

When the black shadow heard this, it used its left hand to rip off its mask and mask, revealing the face of an extremely young youth.    

    

"I, I am the second son of White River City, Loong Zheng."    

    

He looked at Ye Kai, his legs trembling uncontrollably as he spoke.    

    

"I'm not asking you for your identity, I'm asking you why you're here!" Coldness flashed across his dark green eyes as Ye Kai shouted coldly.    

    

Ye Kai had seen too many young people who were good at disguising themselves and being trained as assassins. It was impossible for him to be soft-hearted because of how the other party was a teenager.    

    

If Ye Kai found out that the person in front of him had any intention to take action against the Hai Clan siblings, he would instantly let his head fall to the ground.    

    

Following that, his gaze landed on Loong Zheng's waist, and Ye Kai raised his hand to wave a Chop filled with spirit energy, falling on the small cloth bag on Loong Zheng's waist.    

    

"Pata."    

    

The cloth bag fell with a clang, revealing all sorts of shiny gold and silver jewelry and spirit treasure.    

    

"Thief?" Looking at the light reflected off of the huge Spirit Stones, it was obvious that these things were not what a teenager should have.    

    

"Sir, there's a reason for all of this!" Seeing his harvests from one day falling to the ground, Loong Zheng's face froze, and he opened his mouth to explain.    

    

Following that, something that even Ye Kai did not expect happened.    

    

"Putong." After the youth named Loong Zheng revealed his face, he bent his legs, bent his knees, and suddenly kneeled in front of Ye Kai.    

    

Laying his knees on the ground, Loong Zheng lowered his head to look at Ye Kai, his eyes closed tight as he asked nervously.    

    

"Master, three months ago, because of a small grudge between my brother and that Lee Nan, the City Lord of White River City, Lee Mu, came to my Loong Family with dozens of experts of the Foundation Establishment Stage.    

    

"The elders and the little ones of the Loong Family, a total of twenty odd people, were all displaced here. Wandering outside was really hard on their livelihood, there was no helping it, I became a thief, stole some things from the rich in the city, and maintained my Loong Family."    

    

"Lord is the first person I saw who could remain calm when facing that City Lord. He must be an expert!"    

    

"Loong Zheng came here specifically to find Master."    

    

Without waiting for Loong Zheng to finish speaking, Ye Kai coldly said as he swept the Spiritual Strength s all over Loong Zheng's body.    

    

"I don't want to settle personal grudges for someone else, and even more so, I don't want to help a thief. You should leave."    

    

Although it was forced by life, but to be a thief was to be a thief. Ye Kai did not plan to help such a person.    

    

"This matter was caused by the Loong Family, so it will naturally be settled by me, Master, do not worry, Loong Zheng came here because he has other matters to request of Master!"    

    

"What?" Ye Kai asked.    

    

Following that, Loong Zheng opened his mouth and said a thought that he had never heard of before.    

    

"Please accept me as your disciple!"
