According to Leo, if Qingyu really discovered his identity, he would have taken action long ago and would not have tried to test him here.
He probably suspected that I was a spy for the royal family. As long as my excuse was reasonable, no one would pursue it too much. I had to thank Brother Feng Jie for the reward.
As expected, Qingyu played with a handful of emerald feathers and was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I don't know which family or even which person sent you, but I don't mind you telling your master the intelligence you found out. You are very special. You just entered this room and offset the weakening of the barrier unconsciously."
Qingyu's words startled Ye Yu. Although he was very cautious, he still let the other party find a loophole. Ye Yu was even considering whether to directly fuse a sixth-level magic core to force him to tell the whereabouts of the other people who were chasing him.
"Don't be nervous. You are just a pawn. I won't do anything to you until I have used up all your value. I am looking for someone. Maybe you know him. He set a clumsy trap for me at the Alchemist Guild yesterday. His name is Ye Yu."
When Qingyu spoke the last few words, he stared at Ye Yu. He had every reason to suspect that the man in front of him was a spy sent by Ye Yu. The Phoenix Fire aura that flashed by yesterday was also a trap set by him.
Ye Yu tried his best to suppress his facial expression and forced himself to calm down. He set a trap, really? He himself didn't know that he had sent a spy. He found it hard to believe what the other party had experienced to imagine him like that.
What he didn't know was that the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan relied on a secret technique to track down his bloodline, so the people chasing him had no way of knowing what he looked like or what his strength was, and they could just use the secret technique to capture him.
Qingyu used the scroll given by his eldest brother, which enabled him to activate the secret technique at any time, but it lost its accuracy. Qingyu, who had relied on the scroll throughout the chase, had completely forgotten to use the secret technique that consumed his mind.
And because Qingyu's eldest brother of the Black Phoenix Guard described him as a man with strong strength, in Qingyu's mind, there was no possibility that Ye Yu's strength was lower than the fifth level.
…
In a tavern in the Tagor Desert, a fat man in fiery red clothes gnawed off a one-meter-long cow leg amid the cheers of mercenaries around him.
The fat man sat in the middle, wiping his face and clothes with his greasy hands. His narrow, red eyes looked extremely lively, and were almost narrowed into a line at this moment, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Oh, humans really know how to enjoy life. How come this food is so delicious... It's been so long since Brother Qingyu and Xiaoyi came back, and there's still no news. I have to work harder. I'll have more energy after this meal!"
The fat man muttered to himself, it was Chijing who was one of the three people in Black Flame City at that time, and his true form was a fifth-level Chijing Spiritual Light Vulture.
After drinking a barrel of beer, the fat man walked out of the tavern under the respectful gazes of the mercenaries and met a young man with black hair carrying a heavy ruler taller than him. It was Xiao Yan who left the mapping shop.
"Be careful, this is a transformed demon beast!" Yao Chen reminded in the ring.
"Transformation... Is it another seventh-level magical beast?" Xiao Yan looked at the fat man who was leaving without any expression on his face.
"No, his aura is only at the fifth level... I suspect that they are coming for Ye Yu." Yao Chen said in a low voice.
"The people of Tian Yao Huang..."
The departing Chijing flapped his wings and flew into the air, forcing a drop of bright red blood out of his body. He gestured with his hands to outline a rune, which circled in the air like a fish, emitting red light.
In the tavern, Xiao Yan seemed to sense something, and a black and purple flame ignited in his eyes.
"It was that person who just used the search technique... The flame that Ye Yu gave you was detected by this search technique. You should find a quiet place first. The other party should be able to find your location." Yao Lao reminded him in his heart.
"Hmm? The search spell responded? You still want to leave?"
Chi Jing retracted the rune, carefully returned the blood to his body, and chased in the direction where the secret technique responded.
"Teacher, what should we do? Did Ye Yu want to tie me up on his boat in this way?" Xiao Yan was a little annoyed when he was inexplicably targeted by a magical beast that was as powerful as a Dou Wang.
"It's hard to say, but he told you the truth last time. Logically, if he really had such an idea, he should have reminded you. I guess he either forgot or he didn't expect that the flames alone would be searched. If it doesn't work, I'll take you and run away."
"Teacher, can you subdue the monster behind you? According to what you said, if we can't completely deal with this monster, this operation to subdue the strange fire can't be carried out."
"If you just tie him up, it shouldn't be a problem, but once you start, you might be targeted by this tribe and you won't be able to escape."
"It doesn't matter. If Ye Yu is sincere in cooperating, he will be targeted by this tribe in the future anyway. It is better to catch him and then ask Ye Yu for clarification..." Xiao Yan dodged Chi Jing's attack with difficulty, and suddenly turned to face this fifth-level monster, his eyes burning with white flames.
…
"Is this the information you got?"
In the Alchemist Guild, Ye Yu explained the whole story to Fa Ma. Apart from Qing Yu's request for him to focus on "Ye Yu", he also revealed the discovery of the fifth-level pill formula and a drop of high-level monster's blood essence.
He also told Fa Ma that Qingyu had recently been searching for an "unknown person" and that Shuangshi was also secretly searching for this person.
"You should retreat first and be careful. I got this kind of information on the first day. I was right about you. If you have any more important intelligence, you can come to me directly."
Fa Ma waved his hand to let Ye Yu leave, and contacted Jia Xingtian with a serious face: "Master Jia, do you think the news is true, or has this kid also been bribed?"
"From the information reported by others, we can find out that he said the assessment was true, but he was later met by Qingyu alone, so I am not sure about his position. But it is probably true that there is still a strong man hidden in the Holy City. The water is very deep now..."
…
In the hotel, the Beast Master, who had been unresponsive for two days, finally finished refining the two grains of soul-bearing dust. The entire flame became much more condensed, and the shadow of the monster in the flame became more agile.
"Wait, you said you are working for that sixth-level monster Frost Lion now?"
"Um."
"And you became an undercover agent sent by the Alchemist Guild?"
"Um."
"Are you still the steward of that auction house?"
"Um"
"You're still investigating yourself for the Qingyu you're hunting?"
"yes!"
"Tell me what other identity you have!"
"I am the heir you chose to be the King of Beasts!"
