Inside Windshroud Ferry divine city.
Under the guidance of the guide Xiao Song, Ye Yu and Han Yuexi weaved through countless streets toward the southern district.
According to Xiao Song, the Han Qianzhang in the portrait had left quite a deep impression on him, which was why he still remembered him even now.
Back then, he had heard from a friend that those two people seemed rather strange and had apparently gone to the Qi family in the southern district.
Relying on that clue, Xiao Song led them to the entrance of the Qi family estate in the southern district.
Within Windshroud Ferry divine city, not all members of the God Clan were wanderers. A small number had settled here permanently.
The Qi family was one of them.
They had remained here for several thousand years and could be considered true local residents.
“It’s best not to conflict with them!
I happen to know the Qi family steward, so I can help smooth things over for you.”
After repeatedly reminding Ye Yu and Han Yuexi of this, Xiao Song walked straight up and knocked on the Qi family’s gate.
Very quickly, a medium-built man opened the door.
He too wore a mask over his face.
“Oh, so it’s Xiao Song. Whatever it is, come inside and talk.”
As he spoke, the man opened the gate wider and made an inviting gesture.
Xiao Song did not hesitate much before bringing Ye Yu and Han Yuexi inside together with him.
He then proactively shut the outer gate behind them.
Ye Yu swept his gaze across the surroundings and discovered that besides the man who had opened the door, there were eight other God Clan members in the courtyard.
The moment they saw him arrive, they subtly shifted positions without drawing attention to it, perfectly surrounding him and Han Yuexi without leaving even the slightest gap.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yu could not help sighing.
“Xiao Song, you never actually saw the person in the portrait at all, did you? Bringing us here was just for robbery?”
Since Ye Yu had bluntly exposed everything, Xiao Song no longer bothered hiding it and immediately nodded.
“Looks like my acting skills still need improvement. You saw through it that quickly. How boring.
Still, if you know what’s good for you, hand over all your Storage Rings. Maybe I’ll consider sparing your lives.
Otherwise... you’ll die...”
Before Xiao Song could finish speaking, Han Yuexi attacked on the spot.
With her divine nature dominant, she tolerated absolutely none of anyone’s nonsense.
Even Han Gu could be angered half to death by her, much less a bunch of strangers like these.
Ye Yu did not stop her either.
Some God Clan members who wasted other people’s expectations really did deserve to die.
In only a brief moment, every God Clan member present had fallen.
Being the thrifty and diligent man that he was, Ye Yu collected all of their divine souls, intending to see whether he could extract any useful information from them, even if it was merely something about Windshroud Ferry divine city.
From Xiao Song’s memories, he learned that the Qi family truly did exist within Windshroud Ferry divine city, but not here.
This courtyard was merely a place Xiao Song and his companions used together to lure and rob customers.
Over the years, through careful cooperation, they had indeed accumulated quite a large amount of wealth. The stash was hidden inside a concealed compartment in the inner courtyard.
As for this kind of ill-gotten wealth, Ye Yu could only reluctantly accept it with great effort.
Just as he was preparing to completely erase all of their divine souls, the memories of the final person suddenly made Ye Yu’s eyes light up.
Xiao Song had never seen Han Qianzhang before.
But this person actually had.
Moreover, he had personally witnessed Han Qianzhang entering the Qi family.
Because Han Qianzhang had not worn a mask, he had been especially eye-catching.
To be honest, the man had been quite surprised. How could a member of the God Clan who did not even wear a mask enter Windshroud Ferry?
However, he had not dwelled on the question for long.
Anyone capable of entering the Qi family had to be an extraordinary figure. Having a few privileges was only natural.
In any case, it had nothing to do with a bottom-tier nobody like himself.
So he had quickly tossed the matter to the back of his mind.
If Ye Yu had not searched through his memories, they probably would have missed this useful clue entirely.
Overjoyed, Ye Yu immediately brought Han Yuexi to the other side of the southern district.
There stood a massive manor-style estate that looked exceptionally grand and imposing.
The words “Qi family” hung above the gate.
The main entrance stood wide open, with God Clan members constantly coming and going. The place was extraordinarily lively.
Ye Yu observed the entrance for a while and discovered that on the left side of the Qi family members’ masks was a strange red symbol.
According to the memories of Xiao Song’s group, this was the symbol of the Qi family.
Within Windshroud Ferry, it allowed them to distinguish their own people.
Han Yuexi softly asked, “You’re saying my younger brother is here?”
“Whether he’s here or not isn’t certain. What is certain is that a few days ago, someone personally saw him enter the Qi family.”
Before Ye Yu could even finish speaking, Han Yuexi had already walked directly toward the Qi family.
She moved so quickly that nobody even had time to stop her.
Arriving at the entrance of the Qi family estate, Han Yuexi grabbed the Qi family steward standing at the gate and shoved the portrait of her younger brother directly in front of him.
“I’m here to find someone. Give him to me, and I’ll leave.”
The Qi family steward looked utterly bewildered. He forcefully broke free from Han Yuexi’s grip and coldly shouted, “Who exactly are you? Why are you causing trouble at the Qi family on such an important day?”
He deliberately spoke extremely loudly.
Not only was the steward informing the surrounding God Clan members that Han Yuexi was making trouble, he was also sending a signal to the Qi family itself to call for reinforcements.
Very quickly, twenty God Clan members flew out from the inner courtyard and landed steadily at the entrance.
Every single one of them wore the same masks as the Qi family steward, each bearing the strange red symbol on the left side.
Seeing this, Ye Yu felt utterly speechless inside, but he still walked to Han Yuexi’s side without hesitation.
Originally, according to his plan, they were supposed to observe first and act later.
Now there was no need to observe anymore.
They were preparing to fight head-on.
Meanwhile, seeing that his side now had the advantage in numbers, the Qi family steward instantly regained his confidence.
He immediately tucked his sleeves together and declared, “Daring to cause trouble on the birthday celebration of the head of the Qi family. Truly ignorant beyond belief. Seize them all!”
“Yes!”
The twenty God Clan members immediately erupted with a unified roar, carrying quite a bit of momentum.
Ye Yu also prepared himself to strike.
But just as the situation reached the brink of explosion, a middle-aged man with a resolute face walked out from the inner courtyard.
Surprisingly, he was not wearing a mask at all, openly revealing his true appearance.
The moment the man appeared, everyone present cupped their fists and saluted.
“Greetings, God Qi Jiang!”
“Greetings, Young Master!”
The first line was shouted by outsiders, while the second came from members of the Qi family.
From this alone, it was easy to determine that this man was the eldest young master of the Qi family.
Qi Jiang walked to the entrance, swept his gaze across Ye Yu and Han Yuexi, and then noticed the portrait of Han Qianzhang in their hands.
A faint glimmer flashed through his eyes, subtle and nearly impossible to detect.
“Today is a joyous occasion. Since you’ve come, you are guests. There’s no need for killing and fighting.
The two of you, come with me.
Perhaps I know the answer to the questions in your hearts.”
The moment she heard those words, Han Yuexi frowned slightly.
She sensed something unusual in that statement.
Wasn’t this just an upgraded version of Xiao Song’s scam tactics?
Lure people inside, then kill them.
Han Yuexi had absolutely no intention of obediently falling for it.
Just as she was about to make a move, Ye Yu unexpectedly agreed without hesitation!
