Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Arrangement

Entering Grey Valley County.

Ye Fei quickly found the person Old Gu had arranged to meet him here.

The man appeared to be an ordinary fellow, extremely inconspicuous. Though he had no strength or cultivation, he gave Ye Fei an impression of someone hardened by countless battles.

Upon seeing Ye Fei, the man saluted immediately and said, "Liu Fei, scout of the Iron Blood Division’s Fifth Unit, reporting to Master Yang!"

"I haven’t officially agreed yet! Just call me Mr. Ye," Ye Fei waved his hand with a smile.

One thing to note was that one of Old Gu’s most important conditions for inviting Ye Fei was the Martial Arts Conference.

If the Martial Arts Conference disappointed Ye Fei, he wouldn’t agree to become the division commander of the Iron Blood Division.

Liu Fei, being a young man, scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing Yang Ye Fei’s words and said, "Well... actually, when I first saw you, I also felt a bit... uh... not used to it. You’re too..."

"Too young, isn’t it?" Ye Fei smiled.

Liu Fei immediately nodded but then quickly shook his head, realizing his slip.

Ye Fei naturally understood that Liu Fei was being cautious due to his quasi-commander status, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Haha, let’s not get into that. Tell me about the Martial Arts Conference!"

"Understood!"

Liu Fei immediately shifted to the main topic and said, "Mr. Ye, this year’s Martial Arts Conference is being held at the Shangguan Family estate in the southern part of Grey Valley County. Many cultivators have already made their way there. Of course, the majority are martial artists; magic users are rarely seen."

"The Shangguan Family? Are they a family of cultivators?" Ye Fei asked curiously.

"Yes!"

Liu Fei nodded and said, "The Shangguan Family is a reclusive martial arts family in Grey Valley County, and they are renowned throughout all of China because they have an Innate Martial King overseeing them!"

"Innate Martial King?"

Ye Fei’s interest was instantly piqued.

He had been curious about the power of an Innate Martial King for a long time. Even though Old Gu had given him an assessment, nothing could compare to facing one in person.

As a result, Ye Fei immediately began to ask detailed questions, and Liu Fei answered each one in depth.

After discussing the Shangguan Family, Liu Fei slowly guided Ye Fei into Grey Valley County and began explaining the key points about the Martial Arts Conference.

Ye Fei listened while observing the bustling people around him.

Cultivators, who possessed extraordinary abilities, were generally hard to come by.

In the entire Su Province, they could mainly be found as aides to city leaders.

However, along Ye Fei’s journey through Grey Valley County, he noticed that many martial artists had already gathered here. While their strength was hardly noteworthy to Ye Fei, it further confirmed that the Martial Arts Conference wasn’t just for show.

Before long, Liu Fei finished his introduction and concluded, "Mr. Ye, that’s the gist of it. Honestly, the Martial Arts Conference is essentially a marketplace for cultivators to trade, but I’m curious—what have you prepared? After all, cultivators tend to prefer bartering!"

Bartering?

Ye Fei smiled faintly into the distance, took out a jade bottle from his robes, and poured out a few pills. Instantly, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air.

These were none other than Vitality Pills made from Demon Tiger Blood, which Ye Fei no longer needed.

"Will these suffice?" Ye Fei asked with a smile.

But Liu Fei didn’t answer. His face changed instantly, and with some urgency, he said, "Mr. Ye, they might suffice, but you’re in for some trouble now!"

"Trouble? What do you mean?" Ye Fei asked curiously.

Liu Fei glanced around and then said in a slightly reprimanding tone, "Mr. Ye, when traveling, one mustn’t flaunt wealth. Especially among cultivators! What you just did will definitely attract trouble sooner rather than later!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei suddenly realized something!

The old adage rang true: "A man without sin may be guilty simply for possessing treasure!"

To Ye Fei, these Vitality Pills were of little worth, but to others, that might not be the case!

His casual display just now had inevitably caught some people’s attention.

"Ah... still too inexperienced! Even with the memories of the Demon Evil, I neglected this truth!"

Ye Fei thought, giving himself a self-deprecating smile.

Still, he felt no concern whatsoever. He had absolute confidence in his strength!

If anyone thought Ye Fei was a naive fool, they were bound to suffer greatly.

"Liu Fei, I’ve understood everything. You can leave now. Tell Old Gu that if this trip satisfies me, I’ll take the time to visit him." Ye Fei thought for a moment and told Liu Fei.

Liu Fei understood that Ye Fei wanted to avoid implicating him in any potential trouble, so he nodded and decisively headed toward the outskirts of Grey Valley County.

As a non-cultivator, Liu Fei knew staying behind would only hinder Ye Fei.

"Mr. Ye, take care! Hurry to the Martial Arts Conference—no one will act during the day, but the night is unpredictable!"

With those parting words and a final glance, Liu Fei left, while Ye Fei smiled and began walking toward the southern part of Grey Valley County...

"Young man! Please wait!"

Ye Fei had no idea how long he had been walking when suddenly a man approached him from behind.

Ye Fei smiled faintly as he stopped.

His divine sense had already picked up on this man tailing him shortly after his parting with Liu Fei.

Evidently, the man was after the Vitality Pills Ye Fei had revealed earlier.

Ye Fei had initially thought the man would wait until he entered a more secluded path to make a move. But it seemed Liu Fei’s earlier warning was accurate.

During the day, no one here dared to take action.

Since there was no danger of immediate conflict, the fearless Ye Fei willingly stopped to hear what the man had to say.

The man smiled and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Zhao Shi, an elder of the Qi Union Sect. Young man, where are you from?"

"Binjiang Ye Fei," Ye Fei replied calmly.

"Hahaha, so you’re Brother Ye!"

Zhao Shi laughed heartily and moved to pat Ye Fei on the shoulder. However, Ye Fei instinctively avoided him without leaving a trace, causing a fleeting glint in Zhao Shi’s eyes.

Nevertheless, Zhao Shi maintained his jovial demeanor and said with a laugh, "It looks like this is your first time in Grey Valley County. Are you heading to the Shangguan Family estate to attend the Martial Arts Conference?"

Ye Fei gave a faint nod without committing himself.

"Haha, what a coincidence! I’m heading there too. How about we travel together? I could even give you some pointers for your cultivation!"

Zhao Shi smiled and added, "Oh, by the way, though I may not be much, as an elder of the Qi Union Sect, I’ve reached the late stage of Hidden Energy."

Late-stage Hidden Energy?

Amusement flickered in Ye Fei’s heart. With one hand, he could crush him.

Still, though Liu Fei had informed him that the Martial Arts Conference was at the Shangguan Family estate in the south, Liu Fei’s earlier departure had robbed him of his guide.

Now that someone had offered to lead the way, Ye Fei naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Thus, Ye Fei nodded and said, "Very well!"
