Chapter 258: Ye Xiao’s purpose

"Marquis' apprentice? Hahaha."

Those people were probably brothers on night shifts. It was just dawn. They were all a little angry and sleepy. After hearing the words of the man in black, they all laughed loudly. One of them said, "Friends, you are not as joking as you are. I was a little sleepy. Now I am in high spirits. For the sake of your refreshing spirit, I won't make things difficult for you. Not everyone can break into this Marquis' Mansion. Leave quickly and don't make things difficult for yourself."

The man in black frowned slightly. When did he enjoy a great reputation in the imperial capital and even in the entire Blue Moon Empire? When did he be so despise? Two eyes like hawks, two cold lights came out. Then, as if he was thinking of something, the light converged and said sincerely: "I am indeed the young master's apprentice. If you don't believe it, go in and report it, why bother here to make fun of me? We are all men. If it is not true, why should I consider myself a young man and come to the door to get rid of my mockery...Is my head sick?"

Ye Xiao's eyes just now burst into a ray of lightning lightning, and was keenly captured by these soldiers who were on duty in Ye's Lightning Corps. Naturally, these soldiers were not weak in their strength. Although they did not have the cultivation level of the Demon Swordsman, they all had the strength of the Mad Sword Master!

Everyone could feel a powerful aura from this man in black-clothed and hat. Although it flashed by, an idea came to his mind at the same time: this man does not look like the kind of guy with a problem with his head. Although he was in heaven and earth compared to the young master, his strength was not weak. Maybe it was really like he said. Anyway, the young master rarely loses his temper, so he goes in and reports.

So, one of the soldiers from the Lightning Corps looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Then please wait for a moment and go down to report to the young master." He said that, and turned around and left.

After Ling Xiao received the report, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know when he had an apprentice. Ye Zi, who woke up from the meditation, frowned slightly and blinked his agile eyes and said, "Ling Xiao... Didn't you conquered a third-level magic swordsman when you went to the Budami grassland? Could it be that person?"

Ling Xiao suddenly said, "Oh, yes, there is something happening, but after entering Cameron Town, he disappeared by himself. At that time, I thought, maybe it was him who felt that following a young man like me was a little embarrassed and afraid of being ridiculed, so he left by himself. Could it be that he was here?"

Ye Zi smiled and said, "Yes, just go out and have a look."

As he said that, the two followed the soldiers of the Lightning Corps to the door of the Marquis' Mansion.

Ling Xiao recognized at a glance that the tall man wearing a big straw hat was the Ye Xiao who had not seen for a long time.

Ye Xiao also saw Ling Xiao at this time, and finally showed a look of excitement on his wooden face. He bent down respectfully and said, "Master, I've given you a greeting."

Ling Xiao flashed to the side and said, "Ye Xiao, there was no contract between you and you at the beginning. You disappeared for no reason in Kamelong Town. I just thought you left on your own, but now why did you suddenly appear? As soon as this master said this, he would just joke. I am still young and have no interest in accepting disciples."

The soldiers of the Lightning Corps around him saw that the man in black did know the young master, so they dispersed. Ye Zi was unwilling to disturb Ling Xiao and left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Xiao smiled bitterly: "I know what I do makes you dissatisfied, but Ye Xiao... really has a last resort. Oh, for a moment, since Ye Xiao has returned to you, all the truth will be said to you."

Ling Xiao waved his hand lightly and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in listening to your secrets. I don't have much interest in you, so you'd better leave."

Ye Xiao's smile froze on his face, his expression was very awkward. He didn't expect that his pretended mysterious behavior would arouse Ling Xiao's disgust and want to soften it, but the pride of being a strong man made him wonder how to open his mouth. However, when he thought of the feeling that he could not even hold the sword in his hand by Ling Xiao's destructive sword intent at that time, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His dignity seemed too insignificant in front of this person.

Sighing slightly, Ye Xiao knew that he was not qualified to give conditions in front of this young man, nor was he qualified to be invited in. He said, "Master Ling, Ye Xiao... I really wanted to follow the young master and understand the essence of the swordsmanship with the young master. But... After Ye Xiao arrived in Cameron Town, he immediately received a notice from His Royal Highness the Prince and ordered Ye Xiao to go and kill the deputy commander who participated in the rebellion in Cameron Town..."

"Oh, haha, the prince's hand is stretched very long." Ling Xiao said calmly with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Is that right? The prince lost his power, and you remembered me again?"

"No, absolutely not!" Ye Xiao looked embarrassed. Unexpectedly, after a year of absence, Ling Xiao's words became so sharp that it made people feel that they couldn't bear it.

"The orcs in Cameron Town are actually His Highness's men. Killing them is because His Highness is afraid of leaking the news." Ye Xiao sighed. Since he decided to say it, he would just say it all.

"Since that incident, I was arranged by His Royal Highness to do things through relationships with a great family. Later I found out that that family was actually a hidden family! Unexpectedly, there would be hidden families in our Blue Moon Empire." Ye Xiao's voice was slightly trembling: "It was not until then that I realized how shallow my previous knowledge was. What's ridiculous is that I thought I was very strong, and even in the Blue Moon Empire, I could still rank first. Compared with the children of those hidden families, my strength was not enough for someone else's finger!"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You came here mysteriously early in the morning to tell me this? Sorry, I really didn't have any interest in what I said." As he said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Ling, I promise, you must be interested in what I say next!"

When Ye Xiao saw Ling Xiao showing an impatient look on his face, he quickly stopped his nonsense. He originally thought that he would gain some Ling Xiao's favor and increase his success rate for the next thing. However, he did not expect that Ling Xiao has become so ineffective that it is too difficult to speak!

"Oh, tell me, Ye Xiao, because I have met you once, I advise you to say whatever you want." Ling Xiao sighed lightly, then looked at Ye Xiao indifferently. If Ling Xiao said that a year ago, Ling Xiao probably needed someone with good strength like Ye Xiao to follow him, then now, Ye Xiao's strength has completely lost his position by Ling Xiao's side.

In fact, strength is not that important in Ling Xiao's heart. Otherwise, Li Fo, the deputy city lord of Pengzes City, would not have no strength at all, and even entered Ling Xiao's eyes.

What every superior person needs may not be the extraordinary ability of his subordinates, but their loyalty!

This is absolutely impossible to find in people like Ye Xiao.

"The hidden families in the entire East Continent will be held in half a month with the coral island in the East China Sea. This trading conference will almost all hidden families and sects in the East Continent. At this conference, various treasures will appear at the conference, which can be called a grand event of the hidden families and sects! At that time, I hope that Young Master Ling can appear at the trading conference!"

Ye Xiao finished speaking in one breath, then his eyes flashed and he looked at Ling Xiao with some anxiety. After all, anyone who knows some of Ling Xiao’s current situation knows that Ling Xiao is currently being paid attention to by all hidden aristocratic sects, and his greedy eyes are staring at him. If those hidden aristocratic sects with ulterior motives are really seizing the opportunity, I believe that Ling Xiao will definitely force him to hand over the secrets in his hands.

So, at this moment, Ye Xiao’s request was really a bit... too much to count.

However, Ye Xiao’s proposal deeply attracted Ling Xiao. To be honest, Ling Xiao was very interested in this exchange event of this hidden aristocratic sect!

However, Ling Xiao still looked at Ye Xiao's twinkling eyes and said, "Ye Xiao, you came to me just to tell me this news, tell me what benefits you want to get from me?"

"Hehe, it is worthy of being the most outstanding young nobleman in the history of the Blue Moon Empire. Mr. Ling is indeed smart." Ye Xiao flattered Ling Xiao, and then said: "What our family means is to protect Mr. Ling's safety at the exchange meeting. Then, if you make any pills, you should sell them to our family first. It's that simple. If Mr. Ling agrees, then Ye Xiao will immediately inform the family of some information, and at the same time, he will also give Mr. Ling a waist card for the family guest elder. At that time, Mr. Ling only needs to follow our family to enter the exchange event..."

Ling Xiao waved his hand, stopped Ye Xiao's next words, and chuckled and said, "You can go back."

"You...will you refuse? My family is a family with the powerful sword emperor! Master Ling, you can look down on me Ye Xiao, but you...you can't be ungrateful!"

Ye Xiao was anxious and said without saying a word, then looked at Ling Xiao nervously. Hearing that Ling Xiao's strength had made rapid progress in this year. One year ago, Ye Xiao was no match for Ling Xiao. A year later, Ye Xiao didn't have the courage to consider whether he could block Ling Xiao's sword.
