C335 A Retainer(1)

Just as Ye Xiao, Lia Wudi, and Lia Jun entered the quiet room and activated the magic formation to isolate themselves from the outside world.

In the center of the Ardent Sun Clan's camp, in Lia Wudi's private account. Hua Yi'er was anxiously waiting. Her big black eyes were filled with anxiety and confusion. From time to time, she would look in the direction of the quiet cave. Every time she looked back, she could not sit still.

The person who was in the same room as her was none other than Qu Tenghai, whom Lia Jun had brought along at the same time.

He looked even more confused, totally clueless as to why Lia Jun had brought him here.

Was it because of his performance on the altar?

Before he could answer the question, Qu Tenghai seemed to have thought of something. His spirit shook, and he suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity for him!

"Young Master Ye!"

Ever since he had witnessed Ye Xiao's powerful combat strength on the first day, he had thought of following him. Now that Lia Jun had brought him to the Ardent Sun Clan's camp, it was obvious that this was a form of recognition for him.

"When Young Master Ye returns, I can ask him to take me in!"

"But..."

While Qu Tenghai was excited, the hesitation on his face became stronger.

Would Ye Xiao really agree to his request?

After all, this was just his wishful thinking. Furthermore, he had rashly intervened on the altar just now, which could be considered as establishing a good foundation. But even so, Qu Tenghai still didn't think that he would be recognized by Ye Xiao.

"Do I still have any bargaining chips?"

This was the difference between Qu Tenghai and the others. When some people wanted to seek opportunities to follow strong people, they often wanted to prove themselves urgently. They did not care whether the latter needed it or not. However, Qu Tenghai was different. The first thing he thought of was his own value.

"My combat strength..."

Thinking of this, Qu Tenghai felt even more distressed. He racked his brain and could not think of anything that could be useful to Ye Xiao.

At this moment, -

Hua Yi'er was a young girl after all. She lacked experience and her mind was unstable. She became more and more impatient, but she knew that she could not rush up to Ye Xiao for no reason. She was restless and tried to find something else to divert her attention. She immediately noticed the hesitant Qu Tenghai.

She was quite familiar with Qu Tenghai. After all, he was the first person she had met since coming to Tiger Slope with Ye Xiao. Furthermore, on the altar today, Qu Tenghai had stood up and stood firmly beside Ye Xiao. Naturally, this had given the young girl a favorable impression. She widened her beautiful jet-black eyes. She asked curiously.

"Why were you brought here?"

Qu Tenghai was stunned when he heard that. He was at a loss and subconsciously shook his head. "I don't know either."

Don't know?

The curiosity in the girl's eyes became even stronger. The current Hua Yi'er was at a stage where she was filled with longing and desire for the outside world. Naturally, she wouldn't be satisfied with Qu Tenghai's answer. She immediately asked. But just at this moment, before she could ask the question... She suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.

"Hm?"

"What are you talking about?"

Hua Yi'er's delicate body suddenly trembled and her beautiful big eyes instantly lit up. Before she turned around, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. Like the bright sun, her white dress fluttered and she turned around. As expected... That seemingly thin figure at the entrance of the tent, who else could it be if not Ye Xiao?

"Young master!"

Hua Yi'er jumped, and her entire person immediately became like a butterfly dancing in the sea of flowers. Spreading her arms, she pounced forward. This sudden movement shocked even Ye Xiao. When he felt the concern and worry coming from the trembling body of the beauty in his arms, the young man's heart softened. He forcefully held back the impulse to push the girl out. A hand landed on the soft hair behind the latter's head, gently comforting her.

"It's fine, don't worry. Look, didn't I already come back?"

"Are you anxious from waiting?"

"Don't panic, we'll leave now."

Leave?

Ye Xiao's sudden appearance also gave Qu Tenghai a scare. He had been observing outside the tent the whole time, but he did not notice Ye Xiao's appearance.

But at this moment, what made him panic was not this.

Ye Xiao was going to leave?

He rejected Lia Wudi's invitation and suggestion?

In Qu Tenghai's opinion, Lia Wudi inviting Ye Xiao to talk in secret must be about the trip to the temple and some related matters after they left. After all, his combat strength was unparalleled, and he had mastered the secret alchemy skill. Where could he find such a monstrous genius?

The Ardent Sun Clan and Lia Wudi would definitely be tempted. This was a matter that was set in stone!

But -

"He rejected it? "

Qu Tenghai was shocked, but at the same time, his thoughts were resurfacing in his mind. His eyes were filled with uncertainty and hesitation.

"Should I choose the Ardent Sun Clan, or should I choose him?"

Qu Tenghai's heart was filled with hesitation.

Yes.

He knew very well that since Lia Jun had chosen to invite him here, the biggest reason was because of his performance on the altar. Although he had temporarily left him here, he would certainly propose to recruit him. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become a guest of Ardent Sun Clan.

To him, such a status was not bad. It could be considered a huge leap.

But once he made this choice, it meant that he would not be able to follow Ye Xiao.

"This..."

Qu Tenghai fell into a state of anxiety and choice, unable to extricate himself from it.

At this moment, hearing Ye Xiao's comforting words, Hua Yi'er's spirit also shook. She lifted her small head from Ye Xiao's embrace, and when she saw the gentleness in the latter's eyes, she quickly took a step back. He maintained the reserved demeanor of a young girl.

"Young Master, are we leaving now?"

She was also very surprised that Ye Xiao had chosen to leave now.

Ye Xiao nodded and said:

"Yes."

As he spoke, a bright light flashed in his eyes. As if he had thought of something, he added another sentence.

"But next, we have to go to a more dangerous place. Yi'er, are you afraid?"

Dangerous?

Hua Yi'er's spirit shook when she heard that. Her beautiful big eyes met Ye Xiao's clear starry eyes. Without thinking, she nodded her head and said heavily:

"Not afraid!"

"As long as the salary is there, Yi'er is willing to go anywhere no matter where!"1

Perhaps it was because she used too much force, or perhaps it was because her words were ambiguous, the moment the young girl said those words, her small face immediately became even redder. However, her starry eyes were clear, filled with determination and trust, causing the smile on Ye Xiao's face to deepen a little.

"Alright!"

"Since that's the case, no matter what happens next, Yi'er must listen to me."

Hua Yi'er did not realize the meaning behind Ye Xiao's words. She continued to nod and jumped forward to stand beside Ye Xiao. She raised her small face and looked at him with longing.

"Young Master, let's go!"

Ye Xiao nodded slightly. Just as he was about to pull open the green tent and leave, something unexpected happened.

"Wait!"
