Ch 11: Requesting Li Hanzhou’s Help
“This is a formal invitation from my father.”
Ye Ziying took a small cloth bag from her waist, then gently swiped her hand across it, and an invitation appeared in her hand.
“A storage bag?” Li Hanzhou’s eyes lit up.
This thing is very convenient, a type of Acquired Spirit Treasure, which can store things in a storage space.
Li Hanzhou also wanted one, and decided to buy materials to make one later.
“Good, since City Lord Ye has invited me, then I humbly accept.” Li Hanzhou took the invitation and said with a smile.
Regardless, after all, they just helped him pay off his gambling debt; one shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, and it wouldn’t be good to refuse.
In addition, Li Hanzhou also wanted to see what the City Lord wanted from him.
Maybe he could get some benefits.
“Please, Senior, get in the carriage.”
Ye Yun and Ye Ziying invited Li Hanzhou into the carriage, and then headed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
“I wonder which sect Senior comes from?” Ye Ziying said respectfully in the carriage: “Perhaps Senior and a senior from my Upper Clarity Sect have some connection.”
Li Hanzhou didn’t know anyone from the Upper Clarity Sect, but he also knew that the Upper Clarity Sect was a large and influential sect.
“I come from the Longevity Temple.” Li Hanzhou told the truth.
Ye Ziying recalled, and didn’t recognize such a place in her memory.
The Longevity Temple was too small, ranking at the bottom even among third-rate sects, Ye Ziying had never heard of it.
“Senior is truly unassuming, with such cultivation level, yet so unassuming, even the sect is so secretive.” Ye Ziying thought to herself.
“So it’s Senior from the Longevity Temple, my pleasure to meet you.” Ye Ziying offered polite words.
The carriage soon entered the City Lord’s Mansion.
Li Hanzhou lifted the carriage curtain to look out, the City Lord’s Mansion was so luxurious, compared to his Longevity Temple, his Longevity Temple was worse than a dog house!
He must earn money well and renovate the Longevity Temple properly.
“Father, Senior is here!”
Ye Yun hurriedly called out.
“You’re so grown up, yet still so boisterous, making a fool of yourself before Senior!” Ye Qingbei came out, first reprimanded Ye Yun, then came to the carriage, and bowed respectfully: “Ye Qingbei greets Senior.”
“City Lord Ye is too kind.”
Li Hanzhou stepped out and sized up Ye Qingbei. He didn’t sense a strong person’s aura from Ye Qingbei.
To be the City Lord of White Cloud City, he must be a regional lord in the Divine Palace Kingdom, but Li Hanzhou scanned the entire City Lord’s Mansion with his Divine Soul, yet found no experts in the City Lord’s Mansion.
This was rather strange.
A dignified regional lord, with no experts in his mansion?
No wonder the blood killing aura was so heavy before.
“Senior, please come in.”
“Someone, bring tea.”
Ye Qingbei enthusiastically greeted Li Hanzhou.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Yesterday, if it weren’t for the Divine Talisman Senior gave me, my life, Ye Qingbei’s, would have been forfeit.” Ye Qingbei said with a chuckle.
“You’re welcome.”
Li Hanzhou, hearing this, only nodded and didn’t ask further.
Because Li Hanzhou knew that something that could cause the death of a regional lord must involve very complicated inside information. Li Hanzhou didn’t want to get involved in such matters, so he simply gave a perfunctory reply and began to sip tea.
The tea leaves were indeed good, much better than those in the Longevity Temple.
“I hear that the Daoist Sect rarely interferes in Jianghu matters now.” Ye Qingbei asked seriously at this moment: “Even the tasks posted in Jianghu are rarely accepted, is this true?”
“Um, yes.” Li Hanzhou nodded.
It’s not that they rarely interfere in Jianghu matters, it’s that their Daoist Sect disciples simply don’t have the qualifications, right?
Other sects can receive some commissioned tasks to earn money, but their Longevity Temple is now almost without incense offerings, who would pay money to ask their Longevity Temple to do things?
“Senior Li is pure and ascetic, wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation, which is truly admirable.” Ye Qingbei said, cupping his fists.
“Hehe.” Li Hanzhou chuckled awkwardly. He felt that Ye Qingbei must have something to ask him, but he didn’t dare to say it directly, so he was wasting time with him here.
“The tea is excellent.” Li Hanzhou put down his teacup and said, “I also want to thank City Lord Ye for helping me today. I see that it’s not early, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Seeing Li Hanzhou about to leave, Ye Qingbei was a little anxious.
“Senior, please wait.” Ye Qingbei hurriedly said.
“Something else?” Li Hanzhou looked at Ye Qingbei.
Ye Qingbei waved to the surrounding servants and maids, signaling them to leave.
“Yun’er, you go out first.” Ye Qingbei said to Ye Yun.
“Ah?”
Ye Yun didn’t expect that even he had to go out, which made Ye Yun a little unhappy, but seeing Ye Qingbei’s stern gaze, he could only leave with a pout.
Ye Ziying stayed behind.
“Senior, there is something I would like to ask Senior for help with.” Ye Qingbei said solemnly.
“You can tell me. If I can help, naturally there is no problem.” Li Hanzhou nodded.
But if it’s dangerous, then I’m afraid I can’t.
“I know Senior’s martial arts are superb, and his cultivation level is unfathomable, so I would like to ask Senior to help me escort someone out of the city.” Ye Qingbei said.
My martial arts are superb?
Cultivation level unfathomable?
Li Hanzhou was stunned. Where did this rumor come from?
“From here to the City Gate is only an hour’s distance, City Lord Ye wants to send someone out of the city secretly?” Li Hanzhou smiled: “And I see your daughter’s cultivation level is quite good, isn’t her escort enough?”
“Senior, don’t jest, this junior’s cultivation level is nothing before Senior.” Ye Ziying said with a wry smile.
Ye Qingbei also said helplessly: “Perhaps Senior is curious why there are no experts around me, the City Lord of White Cloud City. In fact, there were several Ninth Rank experts in my city before, and even Transcendent Realm experts, but they all died in a battle half a year ago. I thought that half a year would be peaceful, but I didn’t expect trouble to come again. Now my White Cloud City has no one to use, so I can only ask Senior for help.”
“My White Cloud City has already been targeted. To send someone away without anyone knowing, only an expert like Senior can do it.” After Ye Qingbei finished speaking, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Hanzhou.
“City Lord Ye thinks too highly of me, I don’t have such ability.” Li Hanzhou quickly refused.
Come on, your people are all dead, and now they are still being targeted, how dangerous is the person you want to escort?
With my little ability, escorting the person you want to send away, isn’t that courting death?
Li Hanzhou indicated that he couldn’t, and he must refuse.
“If Senior agrees to help, I am willing to offer twenty thousand taels of silver as a reward.” Ye Ziying came forward and said at this time.
Before, Li Hanzhou was forced to pay off his debts by the gambling house, and Li Hanzhou’s Daoist Robe was also tattered, so Ye Ziying guessed that Li Hanzhou must be short of money. However, such a strong person, short of money, must be because he was too low-key, and unwilling to do evil, so his character is completely trustworthy.
But Ye Ziying was also gambling, hoping that Li Hanzhou was really willing to act for money.
Otherwise, their White Cloud City really couldn’t offer anything else.
“Exactly who needs escorting?” Li Hanzhou’s heart was moved.
Twenty thousand taels!
Enough to completely renovate the Longevity Temple.
Seeing Li Hanzhou relenting, Ye Qingbei and Ye Ziying couldn’t help but brighten their eyes.
“It’s a young man.” Ye Qingbei hurriedly said: “Just send this young man to the pine forest thirty miles away.”
Li Hanzhou pondered again: “Did my Amulet of Warding Off Evil really kill that demon completely?”
“Yes.” Ye Ziying didn’t know why Li Hanzhou asked this, but she still said: “That Eighth Rank Dream Demon turned to ashes in front of Senior’s Talisman in an instant, without any resistance at all.”
“Alright, I agree.” Li Hanzhou nodded.
“Thank you, Senior, when will we act?” Ye Qingbei was somewhat excited.
“No rush.” Li Hanzhou stretched out his hand and calculated some things. Although his strength was not good, Li Hanzhou knew that the Daoist magic he had learned in his past life could now be used. Since his Talisman could be used, he was going to use some special methods to send the person out of the city.
But at the moment, he also needed some favorable timing.
So after Li Hanzhou calculated for a while, Li Hanzhou said: “Three days later, I will escort this person out of the city.”
