Association manager Xiao Qi came to Mu Tie with a list, sorted out the damaged items from Mu Tie, and asked for compensation.
Through the conversation between Ye Hong and the management staff just now, Mu Tie also understood that he must have offended a big shot, so he asked: "Manager Qi, who was that person just now?"
"He is the president! You are very lucky. You bumped into the president just when he came back today. There are 6,888 wind crystals in total. Brother Mu, settle the account!"
"So expensive!" Mu Tie had not recovered from the shock and almost fainted after hearing Manager Qi's quotation.
"Brother Mu, this is the price after I gave you the discount. Look at this table and chairs, made of golden nanmu; look at this vase, the work of the famous craftsman Mr. Jing; look at this potted plant..."
Mu Tie had no choice but to pay the compensation in the end, feeling heartbroken, but when he thought that he had offended the president of the Adventurers Association, he was immediately frightened and thought about how to apologize.
"Brother Mu, Mr. Ye is actually a very nice person. He doesn't care about such trivial matters. Don't take it to heart." Hua'er comforted him.
With Hua'er's comfort, Mu Tie felt a little more at ease, but still a little worried, so he said to Hua'er: "Hua'er, can you help me make an appointment with President Ye, and I will apologize to him."
"This..." Hua'er was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and agreed.
"Hua'er, when I get the first place in the rankings, I will propose marriage to your mother. I will definitely marry you. Only if I get the first place can I be qualified to protect you!"
"Then...brother Mu, come on!" Hua'er lowered her head in embarrassment and ran to hide behind the wall.
Mu Tie looked at the name 'Xing Fei' who was number one on the ranking list in the hall, clenched his fists and felt high in fighting spirit.
After Ye Hong came out of the Adventurers Association, he went directly to the City Lord's Mansion. After finally coming to Dihai City, the City Lord's Mansion had to pay a visit. After all, the City Lord's Mansion behind the Adventurers Association was profitable, so he should go and meet with Zheng Zheng. The city lord will discuss the follow-up matters.
"I want to see City Lord Zheng, please inform me."
"Who are you! You can't enter here casually, you'd better leave! The Lord of the City is very busy and has no time to see a little person like you."
Arriving at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Hong was stopped. He felt depressed. He was stopped there no matter what. He was stopped at the door of the City Lord's Mansion in Tianjian City. He was stopped when he went to the Adventurers Association and went upstairs. When he came here, he was stopped again. was stopped.
Just as Ye Hong was about to breathe, the Qing Xin Jade on his chest immediately took effect, making Ye Hong calm down again. Ye Hong thought to himself that the things given by the fairy sister were really useful, and he almost couldn't control himself again.
"Ye Hong, the president of the Adventurers Association, is asking to see City Master Zheng. Please go and inform the two of you!"
When they heard Ye Hong say that he was the president of the Adventurers Association, the two of them were so scared that they rolled over and hurriedly went in to report to City Lord Zheng. One of them nodded and bowed to welcome Ye Hong in.
As soon as Ye Hong came to the living room, City Lord Zheng arrived. The two exchanged polite words and then sat down to discuss.
"City Master Zheng, isn't the profit of the Adventurers Association wrong? I have read the accounts of the past two years. Why did the profits attributed to our association decrease so much in the end? Although I don't care about this little money, the daily operations of the association require it. funds to maintain it.”
"Mr. Ye, the profits attributed to the association have indeed decreased a lot in the past two years, but this is mainly a problem with the Chamber of Commerce. They have become more and more greedy and powerful in the past two years. You have never come to manage the association in the past few years. , they all thought that you gave up the association, so they started to take that part of the profits as their own. If they knew that you were back, they would definitely not do this. This is the result of what I tried my best to prevent, otherwise Dihai City Adventurer The association doesn’t get any profit at all.”
Ye Hong said meaningfully, "Thank you so much, City Master Zheng!"
City Lord Zheng broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He couldn't understand the meaning of Ye Hong's words. He was blaming himself. He said quickly,
"Mr. Ye, I'm going to discuss with them and let the chamber of commerce return that part of the benefits to the association!"
Ye Hong said coldly: "That's not a problem, City Lord Zheng, please don't bother! The main reason I came here today is to tell you that if you still want to cooperate well, don't do anything wrong. The profit sharing that was discussed before will not be a penny." You will be missed.
As for those chambers of commerce, I will deal with them myself. City Lord Zheng had better not get involved, otherwise I will not be responsible for hurting innocent people. "
Ye Hong was about to leave after knowing that City Lord Zheng would not interfere in the matter. Jiang Yue walked in, holding a child in his hand.
"Brother Ye, you didn't say hello when you came back so that I could pick you up, sister!"
When Ye Hong saw Jiang Yue coming in, he quickly smiled and said, "Sister Jiang Yue, how could I bother you to pick me up."
"You'll just deal with me! If I don't come over, you're afraid you'll have to leave again after we've discussed the matter!"
"No way! I'm just going to see you, Sister Jiang Yue! Sister Jiang Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your child is already so old?"
"Yun'er, this is your Uncle Ye."
"Hello, Uncle Ye!" Zheng Yun called sweetly.
"How good! Uncle Ye didn't bring anything with him. This sword is given to you." Ye Hong took out the sword that the old woman gave him in exchange for it in the Sword Wing Immortal Sect.
Jiang Yue said unhappily: "How can you be like this and give a sword to such a young child!"
"I really don't have anything on me. I'm very poor. This sword is the best thing I can get. You don't know that I haven't even had enough to eat in the past few years! If you don't want me, I'll take it back. It's gone." Ye Hong looked at the sword he sent out with some pain.
"You! There's no reason to take back something you gave away! I accepted it for my son." Then he snatched the sword away, pulled it out and took a look.
"The sword is good! You have some conscience."
City Lord Zheng's eyes straightened when he saw the sword, and he couldn't look away for a long time.
"Master Ye, is this an earth-level spiritual weapon?"
"It should be so! The Supreme Elder of the Sword Wing Immortal Sect gave it to me, so it shouldn't be too bad."
After hearing this, City Lord Zheng hurriedly said: "Young Master Ye, this is too valuable! You'd better take it back!"
"You don't have to be like this, City Master Zheng. This sword is not given to you, but to Yun'er. It is a foreign possession, and there is nothing valuable about it."
Jiang Yue looked at Ye Hong who was teasing Yun'er and said, "Brother Ye, if you like Yun'er so much, why not let Yun'er recognize you as your godfather?"
"Sister Jiang Yue, you don't want to trick me, do you?"
"What can I do to trick you!"
Ye Hong smiled and said: "That's okay! I didn't expect that I also have a godson!"
"Yun'er, from now on Uncle Ye will be your godfather! Call him quickly and ask him to give you a gift!" Jiang Yue looked at Ye Hong with a sly smile.
Yun'er shouted crisply: "Godfather! Give me a gift!"
After Ye Hong responded, he could only take out another Yangshengji Pill and give it to Yun'er, and then said to Jiang Yue: "I really have nothing! Let's go, let's go! If you don't leave, you will take out the money."
"Yun'er, your godfather is so kind to you and gives you so many good things. What should you do?"
"Thank you, godfather! Hug from godfather!"
"Yun'er is so sensible!" Then Ye Hong picked up Yun'er, who was only two or three years old, and the two became intimate. Yun'er also kissed Ye Hong on the face a few times, and there was laughter and laughter all around.
After chatting for a while, a servant hurried in.
"Young madam! It's not good! Your brother encountered an accident outside. I want you to go back and take a look!"
Jiang Yue said excitedly: "What's going on! Tell me clearly, why did my brother encounter something unexpected?"
"I heard that your brother was killed by a woman outside. The woman claimed to be the president of the Adventurers Association. Now the master and the others have nothing to do. They want you to go back and see how to deal with this matter."
Jiang Yue looked at Ye Hong as if asking. After hearing this, Ye Hong was immediately confused. Why was she involved again? Then he asked: "What's the name of that woman?"
The servant looked at Ye Hong but didn't recognize him, then looked at Jiang Yue who seemed to be asking for advice, and hesitated whether to say anything.
Jiang Yue said: "It's okay, just tell me! He is the president of the Adventurers Association."
"The woman said her name was Xiao Hui."
Ye Hong frowned immediately after hearing this. He couldn't figure out that this person could be Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui was usually very low-key. When Ye Hong was here before, he would tell Xiao Qing and Xiao Feng to do most things. For Xiao Hui, Not very concerned.
What happened this time was actually related to Xiao Hui, so Ye Hong had to go take a look. Xiao Hui is also the elder of the Shadow Tower anyway, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Feng are so dedicated to the Shadow Tower, so Xiao Hui's affairs must be taken care of both emotionally and rationally.
In response to the looks that several people were looking at him, Ye Hong could only reply,
"I do have someone named Xiao Hui under my command, but she probably wouldn't do such a thing. Let's go over and find out what's going on first! If Xiao Hui really did something evil, I won't forgive her. Get over her!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yue could only take Ye Hong to Jiang Mansion to clarify the matter. Although Ye Hong didn't like Jiang Feng very much, he was Jiang Yue's younger brother after all.
Ye Hong was still quite embarrassed about this matter. If Xiao Hui really did it, Ye Hong could only punish him, but his life must be saved. This was also an explanation for Xiao Feng and Xiao Qing.
As soon as the two of them entered Jiang Mansion, they saw a corpse lying on the ground. The whole body was dry and lifeless, just like a mummy. Jiang Yue recognized the corpse at a glance as that of her younger brother Jiang Feng, and excitedly jumped on it, crying bitterly.
Jiang Yue's mother covered her face and cried, and said to Jiang Yue: "Yue'er, you are back! You have to make the decision for your brother!"
"What the hell is going on! Why did my brother become like this?"
The two Jindan masters from the Jiang Mansion standing nearby said: "Miss, the young master said at noon that he wanted to go shopping alone. I thought that the young master also has the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Soul Tribulation Realm, so there shouldn't be any accidents in the city. , we didn’t follow,
Who knew that an accident would happen not long after the young master left? When we arrived, the young master was already like this. "
Ye Hong asked at this time: "I heard that you also caught the murderer! How did you determine that she was the murderer? Where is the murderer now?"
The two asked curiously: "Who are you?"
Jiang Yue explained: "He is the president of the Adventurers Association. He happened to be present when my servant informed me just now. I heard that he was related to the president's men, so I asked him to come with me to find out what was going on. You guys Don’t worry, he will handle the matter impartially.”
The two saluted Ye Hong and said, "After we arrived at the scene, we sensed the surroundings. This murderer is very good at hiding. If the young master's aura hadn't remained on her body, we might not have been able to discover her.
Since this witch has strange methods and is said to belong to you, the president, we can only imprison her in the dungeon first. "
