111: There are traitors among humans
After dinner with Ning Nanguo that evening, Ye Liuyun was sent back to the place he had stayed before.
It wasn't until he returned to this place that Ye Liuyun remembered he seemed to have a suite in the Imperial Capital.
The way he lived now, with food and accommodation all free, was truly useless.
He had experienced it firsthand.
The night passed without incident.
After Ye Liuyun woke up, he simply washed up.
Ning Nanguo was still at work during the day, so he would go see the old man again in the evening; he had made the old man very happy yesterday.
Ding dong!
Just as Ye Liuyun finished washing up, the doorbell rang. A hint of confusion appeared on his face. Who could be looking for him at this time? He walked over and opened the door.
"Uncle Zhao?"
It was Zhao Hai, carrying large and small gift bags, who stood at the door.
"Come in quickly, Uncle Zhao, why did you bring me things?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile, shaking his head.
"I just didn't know how long you'd be staying back, so I came to see you. These are just small, inexpensive items." Zhao Hai was delighted to see Ye Liuyun's attitude towards him.
If things were like this, his idea might just succeed.
"Come in, Uncle Zhao. I even called Zhao Yue yesterday. The last time she came to school to find me, I was out on a mission."
Ye Liuyun stepped aside and welcomed him in.
"I heard from Yueyue too. I told her not to bother you unnecessarily; your every move now has too great an impact."
Zhao Hai seemed a little constrained after entering!
He had watched Ye Liuyun go from having nothing to his current status. Some important figures really disliked those who knew them when they were insignificant.
Zhao Hai was also afraid Ye Liuyun might have such a thought, but seeing him today, it seemed Ye Liuyun was still the same as before.
"Uncle Zhao, you're here for something, aren't you?"
After they were seated, Ye Liuyun poured him a glass of water and asked with a beaming smile.
He could tell from Zhao Hai's demeanor that he had something on his mind.
"Hahaha, these thoughts are transparent before you, but seeing you is the main thing; the matter itself isn't important."
Zhao Hai quickly waved his hand and laughed.
"Uncle Zhao, let's not exchange pleasantries. Do you and I need to be so formal?
Tell me, is it something about Zhao Yue's school? Or something about your work? Just say the word, and I'll definitely do my best to help you."
Ye Liuyun didn't put on any airs; he still felt some gratitude towards Zhao Hai.
As long as it was within his capabilities, he would do it.
"No, no, it's not about those things. Zhao Yue's academic performance is her own business, and my work has also benefited greatly because of you.
It wouldn't be appropriate to trouble you with those matters again. The main thing is, I wanted to discuss something with you. I've now become the principal of No. 1 Middle School.
So I was thinking... I wanted to invite you to the school to give a speech, just to talk casually to the students!"
Zhao Hai said his purpose with a smile.
Ye Liuyun was also surprised that he had become the principal, and then he thought about the speech.
"Giving a speech isn't a problem, but Uncle Zhao, I might not be very good at it, after all, my speaking skills aren't the best!"
Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
He wasn't particularly against this, but the problem was he had no experience in this area.
"No worries, no worries! Liuyun, your presence alone will be enough to invigorate the entire school! What you say isn't important; what's important is you! So, it's settled then. I'll send a car to pick you up at 3:30 PM today!" Zhao Hai immediately stood up, excited.
This was an inspiring event for the entire school.
Ever since Ye Liuyun emerged from No. 1 Middle School, many people from surrounding provinces and cities had come here to study.
Now, if Ye Liuyun could make an appearance and say a few words...
"Alright!" Seeing Zhao Hai so excited, he could only force a wry smile.
Giving a speech was a new life experience.
But it was good, after all, one should experience everything.
Once he went to the Western Front, these matters would hardly concern him anymore.
Then, there would only be endless hunting.
After Zhao Hai left, he immediately issued a notice to the school. The auditorium was instantly cleared and began to be cleaned. At the same time, leaders from the Education Bureau also began to scramble for seats.
Several surrounding schools, hearing that Ye Liuyun was going to give a speech at No. 1 Middle School, spared no effort in pulling every connection they had... In the Vicious Beast-controlled territory of the Western Front.
The Sky Python Dragon Emperor had already grown fleshy horns on his body.
"Congratulations to the Dragon Emperor on his Breakthrough!"
"Congratulations to the Dragon Emperor on his Breakthrough!"
"Congratulations to the Dragon Emperor on his Breakthrough!"
A sky-shattering sound rang out.
Among the many Vicious Beasts, a human figure stood out conspicuously.
That was Ma Feng.
After his intervention to cover Sturgeon Bath last time, Ma Feng's status had been elevated, and he had been officially accepted by the high-ranking Vicious Beasts.
The Sky Python Dragon Emperor's pupils opened.
"Hoo! Ninth Stage Middle Stage!"
"Anything new recently?" The Sky Python Dragon Emperor's enormous head turned towards the Vicious Beasts, scanning each one.
"Reporting to the Dragon Emperor, the Qiu Family has been dealt with by the Great Xia officials!"
Rising Sun Eagle bowed his head and sighed.
Ma Feng's heart tightened upon hearing this.
Great Xia had suspected it before—no, not suspected, but there was almost a seventy percent chance that the Qiu Family had ties with the Vicious Beasts.
He had never been able to enter here before, much less participate in such a high-level Vicious Beast meeting.
And today, was this veil finally going to be lifted?
"Dealt with? Hmph, that old fossil always boasted about his capabilities, yet he couldn't even save his own life! Useless!"
As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor's head turned to face Ma Feng.
"What about our people around him?"
His eyeball alone was larger than Ma Feng.
The enormous body exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"We can't contact our people for now. Perhaps they're safe, or perhaps they've been captured!"
A snow-white fox leaped onto the broken stones.
"So many years of planning, all wasted! Who was behind this?"
"It was Wang Mang and his Disciple!"
"Oh? The human who can transform into one of our kind?"
"Precisely!"
Ma Feng watched the head move away, and a sigh of relief escaped his heart. The pressure the other party exerted on him was simply too immense.
But now it was almost certain.
The Qiu Family had an inseparable connection with the Vicious Beasts; both sides must have reached some form of cooperation.
Moreover, there were people sent by the Vicious Beasts within Great Xia.
He didn't even know about this.
Among the Vicious Beasts, there were a total of sixteen Demon Emperors.
One old Demon Emperor had died on the Eastern Front, and another had taken his place.
Among these sixteen, the Sky Python Dragon Emperor was one of the foremost in terms of both strength and age.
Ten of them were distributed around Great Xia.
The other six were watching those other countries.
"It's a pity this Emperor was in seclusion at the time, otherwise, I would have definitely captured him to see!"
As the Sky Python Dragon Emperor's voice fell, Ma Feng immediately lowered his head and interjected, "Dragon Emperor, according to my investigation, the other party has already taken up a position on the Western Front!"
"Oh? That's truly excellent! Confirm it."
As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor looked at Ma Feng.
"Ma Feng, this Emperor thinks highly of you. Keep up the good work! Conquer Great Xia, and it shall all be yours!"
