In the wilderness, Yang Kai greeted her, and four unfamiliar gazes immediately gathered, with the taste of scrutiny.
Four people, three men and one woman, two Emperor Realm on the 1st order, and two Emperor Realm on 2nd order, each paired in pairs. They were very distinct. Before Yang Kai arrived, only Hua Yulu was alone.
Although the Disguise Artifact allows Yang Kai to conceal the paleness on his face, the weakness of his aura cannot be concealed anyway, not to mention that many of the present are in the Emperor Realm, so they know the depth of his cultivation after a little inspection.
1st order Emperor Realm! This made the four people breathe a sigh of relief inexplicably.
One of the men with stature snorted coldly, and said with an unhappy expression: “Palace Master Hua, this is your friend? The shelf is so big, making us wait.”
He didn’t hide the true thoughts in his heart at all, obviously because he was a little annoyed by waiting here for too long, and he bluntly blamed him. Moreover, Yang Kai did not arrive at the agreed time. He was delayed for a few days on the road. It would be fine if it was the 2nd order Emperor Realm. He might not be able to say much, but he was only at the 1st order Emperor Realm, there is no need to be afraid.
Facing the man’s blaming, Hua Yulu smiled and said: “Brother Wu calmed down. My Senior Brother Yang had something to do a few days ago, so he delayed some effort on the road. This mistress apologize.”
Although she didn’t know why Yang Kai is delayed for a few days and could not come here according to the agreed time, she know Yang Kai didn’t deliberately break the appointment, otherwise Xia Sheng would not ask him for help as an invitation. Therefore, Hua Yulu naturally wanted to speak for Yang Kai.
The man snorted, “You are the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, where did your Senior Brother Yang come from? I have never heard of a man in the Hundred Flower Palace, and this Senior Brother Yang has the courage to hide his appearance, could it be your senior brother Yang has other plans?”
He seemed to be eager to see Yang Kai, and immediately confronted him after discovering that Yang Kai was wearing the Disguise Artifact.
Logically speaking, this is a temporary combination of treasure hunting teams. There is no need to delve into their respective origins and backgrounds. They are only cooperating for this trip. Maybe if they find some treasure, there might even be a fight, everyone knows it well. Hua Yulu didn’t ask the other two people who the helpers were and where they came from. They also maintained this kind of tacit understanding.
At this moment, the man with short stature was obviously deliberately targeting, and the last sentence was even putting suspicion.
The Star Boundary is so big that there are hundreds of thousands of martial artist, and their dispositions and tempers are different. It’s not a weird thing to wear the Disguise Artifact to walk the Star Boundary, but when the man surnamed Wu said it, he deliberately amplifies the matter, it seems Yang Kai had to take down the Artifact to show his true face.
Hua Yulu frowned, obviously a little displeased. She is the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace. It is sincere enough to be able to apologize. The other party’s constant chatter naturally annoys her, but now the situation is not as good as others, she and Yang Kai are both only the 1st order Emperor Realm, but the other four people are all of the 1st order and 2nd order Emperor Realm. If there is any conflict, it will not end well.
She was fortunate enough to have seen Yang Kai’s ability. In the canonization ceremony of the Azure Sun Temple, Yang Kai had fought against the 3rd-order Emperor Realm powerhouse, and could block the attack of the 3rd-order Emperor Realm. It can be seen that Yang Kai’s strength couldn’t be judge based on the common sense. But Hua Yulu sensed that Yang Kai’s aura was a little weak at the moment, and secretly guessed he might have suffered some injury, so he covered his face.
She is not willing to conflict with the other.
Just as she was thinking about what to say, Yang Kai said, “What is this friend’s name?”
The man surnamed Wu hummed: “Wu Kuangyi!”
“It turned out to be Brother Wu!” Yang Kai nodded slightly and smiled: “There is no other deep meaning in this, but…I have a strange appearance. If I show my true face, I’m afraid that it will scare…that girl!”
While speaking, Yang Kai raised his head and glanced at another woman besides Hua Yulu in the field.
This woman was not in the group with Wu Kuangyi, but stood with another old man. She had the cultivation level of 2nd order Emperor Realm and was obviously a helper invited by the old man. The woman is not beautiful, but her temperament is very refined. She has a graceful figure and wears a goose yellow palace dress, showing the delicate details of a beautiful outline.
Since Yang Kai appeared, this woman had been observing Yang Kai silently like everyone else. Suddenly the conversation turned to her. She was taken aback for a moment and smiled and said, “My courage is not so small.”
Her smile has a very peculiar charm, which seems to be able to drive the emotions of others, but there is no trace of charm. It is completely natural, and is obviously an innate ability. This makes Yang Kai can not help but glance at her, and at the same time, he is secretly wary.
“What is the little brother’s name?” the woman asked.
“Yang Jiu!” Yang Kai replied.
He ranks ninth in the old Yang family, so this name can be considered as some basis, not a random fabrication.
When he saw that this woman was talking with Yang Kai, Wu Kuangyi frowned even more. When he wanted to say something, the old man who was standing with the woman took a step forward and said with a smile: “Alright, it only takes a few days or so. With this cultivation level, it only feels like a few days in a blink. Brother Wu didn’t need to care too much. It’s better to meditate and rest.”
He smiled very amiably, like a gracious old man next door, making people involuntarily feel good.
The old man said like this, Wu Kuangyi couldn’t keep it up anymore, and it was not a big deal. Any more entanglement, it would make him seemed to have lost his demeanor. What’s more, Hua Yulu had already apologized, so he step down, But still sullen his face, as if telling others that he is very upset.
After waiting for a while, Wu Kuangyi said, “Since the people are all here, let’s set off. We will discuss the details on how to cooperate on the road.”
Naturally, Hua Yulu and Yang Kai had no objection, and they nodded in agreement. To be honest, Hua Yulu was not relieved until this moment. She and Yang Kai were not familiar with each other. These days, she hadn’t seen Yang Kai come, and she thought Yang Kai will miss the appointment, and now she finally see Yang Kai, naturally let go of the worries in her heart.
“Wait!” the kind old man raised his hand.
Several people looked at him together, without knowing what he meant.
The old man said: “One more person is coming!”
“There is anyone else?” Wu Kuangyi’s face sank, and the already pressed anger rushed upwards, and said in a deep voice, “Yang Tai, what is the meaning of this? We agreed half a year ago, one person can only find one helper. And it must be below the 2nd order Emperor Realm. You have already found one, is it possible that there is a second one?”
This time even Hua Yulu sank her face.
Compared to Yang Kai who was a few days late, if the old man Yang Tai really did what Wu Kuangyi said, then it would be treachery and unbearable.
Yang Kai glanced at the woman standing next to Yang Tai and found that her expression remained unchanged, but she was still smiling. Obviously, she knew about this a long time ago, so there was no surprise.
Yang Tai hurriedly said: “Brother Wu calmed down his anger. The old man didn’t break the agreement between us. I did only find Mrs. Shen as a helper. This one is not my helper.”
He had an innocent expression on his face, as if Wu Kuangyi had wronged him.
Wu Kuangyi said angrily: “Then I have to ask Brother Yang to explain clearly. If we can’t be satisfied, even if I agree, Palace Master Hua and Brother Yang Jiu will not agree.”
The existence of the ancient cave was discovered by him together with Yang Tai and Hua Yulu. It was a common property of the three of them. Both Wu Kuangyi and Hua Yulu abide by the agreement and only brought one helper over. Yang Tai actually had to wait for another person. This made Wu Kuangyi angry.
Yang Tai smiled bitterly: “When you see that person, Brother Wu will understand. When that time comes, Brother Wu and Palace Master Hua will be the judge. The old man will not have any opinions.”
Wu Kuangyi sneered: “It sounds like Brother Yang thinks that man has to go? Or what great use is that man for us? I want to know exactly who is it.”
Yang Tai didn’t say much at this moment, just smiled without saying a word, and looked extremely unpredictable.
At this point, even if Wu Kuangyi was annoyed, he couldn’t really clashed with Yang Tai, so he could only wait with his temper.
Yang Tai was so confident in what he said, and to be honest, he was also very curious about who he was waiting for.
Yang Kai and Hua Yulu looked at each other, feeling that this treasure hunt is probably a long road. This has just converged, and there have been contradictions like this. With six people and three small groups, it is obviously impossible to cooperate sincerely, and it is already a good thing not to fight at that time.
But this is also the norm. Yang Kai had been mentally prepared for this, but Hua Yulu showed a worried expression.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to wait for someone, Yang Kai and Hua Yulu secretly communicated, and asked about the names of the other people.
He already know Wu Kuangyi and Yang Tai, both have the 1st order Emperor Realm. The two explored the ancient cave with Hua Yulu half a year ago. Among them, Wu Kuangyi’s cultivation level increased greatly in the ancient cave. Although it was only the 1st order, but Wu Kuangyi was the weakest among the three at the time, but now it seems that his aura is faintly better than the 2nd order Emperor Realm, and he has obviously reached the 1st order peak, and is already the strongest of the three.
The helper Wu Kuangyi found was a taciturn man. Yang Kai rushed to this moment and never heard him say a word. He seemed to be born with a cold face. Wu Kuangyi introduced earlier that this person is called Fang Zhuo.
The woman standing with Yangtai is called Shen Bingru. Fang Zhuo and Shen Bingru origin is unknown by Hua Yulu, she only speculated secretly based on her own experience, but Wu Kuangyi and Yang Tai knew exactly what bottom line Hua Yulu had.
During the secret exchange, Hua Yulu informed Yang Kai of all this information.
