The boss hurriedly pushed the money back as if it was hot. “Aren’t you scolding me? You’re a mysterious person. How can I take your money?”
It could be seen that Lai Zhiqiang was a fan of Ye Feng, while this shop owner was a fan of the mysterious man.
“Alright, don’t refuse. If you make me angry, do you believe that I won’t use the Five Ghosts Transportation Technique to throw you into the river?” Ye Feng pretended to be angry and gave him the twenty thousand yuan.
The shop owner smiled awkwardly and could only accept the money. “The story I told you before was indeed exaggerated. I’m sorry for making a fool of myself.”
“That’s not a bit of exaggeration. That’s simply a fairy tale. If I knew those spells you said, wouldn’t I have become an immortal long ago?” Ye Feng teased with a smile.
“I can accept the money, but I don’t need that much money. I made these tools myself, and the total cost is less than 10,000 yuan.” The shop owner took out ten thousand yuan and wanted to return it to Ye Feng.
“Take it. Take it as a reward for your reporting. In the future, I will need you to do your best. If there is any movement, contact the Three Phoenix Society immediately.”
“Mr. Ye, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it for you.”
The shop owner hurriedly swore.
Ye Feng did not say anything else, he picked up the tools and left with Fuuma Jianwu.
The shop owner and Lai Zhiqiang personally walked the two of them to the door. They were unwilling to look away until the car was far away.
“This Mr. Ye is such a good person. He’s so strong and so approachable.” The shop owner held the two wads of cash and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Nonsense, that’s my idol. How can he not be good?” Lai Zhiqiang had a proud look on his face. He felt honored that his idol was being praised.
“Mr. Ye will be my idol in the future too. If anyone dares to say anything bad about this old man, I’ll fight him to the death.”
“What old man? He is only in his twenties, and you are already so old, yet you called him an old man? Do you still have any face?”
“Old man is an honorific title. It represents my respect for Mr. Ye.”
“If you want to express your respect, why don’t you call him grandpa?”
“That’s not impossible.”
“F*ck…”
Ye Feng did not know that he had a fifty-year-old grandson for no reason, otherwise, he would have woken up in the middle of the night.
After leaving the hardware store, he brought Fuuma Jianwu to the market and bought two live roosters.
According to Ah Can, many grave robbers used live roosters to test the air quality in the catacomb.
Ye Feng did not know if it was reliable or not, but he had to prepare first, it was better to be prepared.
After returning to his rented courtyard, he spent half a day familiarizing himself with the usage of these tools.
Because the system had rewarded him with a set of Grave Robbing Mastery, he was able to learn it quickly and use it skillfully.
That night, Arthur’s Sky Wolf Squad and the Fuuma family’s ninjas arrived.
Feng Shaokun also called him and said that he had already found snipers. There were a total of five people, and each of them was an elite among elites.
Ye Feng then gave them the order for this operation.
The first was the Sky Wolf Squad.
He chose four Chinese faces to follow him into the Xiang King’s secret treasure and help him.
The others followed Arthur and hid outside the secret treasure, ready to cooperate at any time.
“Arthur, prepare a military-grade communication device. We’ll keep in touch.” He gave Arthur another order.
“Yes.” Arthur accepted the order without hesitation.
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, he then gave the mission to the ninjas of the Fuuma clan.
They didn’t need to follow him into the secret treasure. They would also lie in ambush outside, which could be considered as the second layer of protection.
The snipers that Feng Shaokun found were the third layer of protection.
With these three layers of protection, even if the King of Hell came, he would get two strands of his beard plucked.
After everything was arranged, he sent a message to the people participating in the expedition.
The content was very simple. “Meet at the highway intersection at 6:30 pm tomorrow.”
Ah Can, Xu Jingxin, and Lan Xingyue all replied. “Received.”
Ye Feng walked to the center of the courtyard, he looked up at the sky which was filled with stars.
The net had already been cast out, and it was only a matter of time before they caught a few big fish.
Of course, deep down, he still hoped that this operation would be peaceful and allow him to successfully complete this exploration.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind did not stop. A wish was a wish after all. As for whether it could be realized or not, it was not up to him.
The next morning, Xu Jingxin couldn’t wait to come to his courtyard.
She was already dressed in outdoor gear and looked very capable.
When Zhuang Xiaoqiao saw her, she started making a fuss again. “Why can she go but I can’t?”
Ye Feng was helpless about this. “Didn’t I already tell you? Because you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, and I have to divert my attention to protect you.”
“But she doesn’t know martial arts. She doesn’t have the ability to protect herself. Why can she go?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao felt indignant.
“Because she has a brain, but you don’t.” Ye Feng instantly killed her with one sentence.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao was speechless.
Although these words were a little heart-wrenching, they sounded reasonable.
For a moment, she did not know how to retort.
When Xu Jingxin saw Fuuma Jianwu disguised as Zhuang Xiaoqiao, she was also surprised.
Ye Feng did not hide it from her, he told her about his plan and the risks involved.
“Think carefully. If you still want to go, it might be dangerous.”
Xu Jingxin only thought for a moment before making a decision. “It’s okay. Since I chose to explore, I have to bear the corresponding risks.”
As she had said so, he did not say anything else.
When it was almost six o’clock in the afternoon, the three of them packed their belongings and rushed to the agreed location.
Ah Can and a few members of the Sky Wolf Squad were already waiting at the highway intersection in advance.
“Miss Zhuang, you look really beautiful today.” Ah Can couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the outdoor outfit that Fuuma Jianwu was wearing.
Ye Feng did not tell him that Fuuma Jianwu was pretending to be Zhuang Xiaoqiao, Ah Can thought that Zhuang Xiaoqiao would be the one accompanying him.
Fuuma Jianwu had been trained by Ye Feng for two days, and she had completely immersed herself in Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s role. She flipped her hair. “What are you talking about? What did you mean by ‘today’? Am I not usually beautiful?”
Ah Can did not interact much with Zhuang Xiaoqiao, so he did not notice anything unusual. He hurriedly nodded and smiled apologetically. “I said something wrong. You’re always pretty, but you look especially beautiful today.”
“Tsk, so glib.” Fuuma Jianwu rolled her eyes and walked to the side.
Xu Jingxin saw all of this and revealed a faint smile.
Ye Feng always liked to do new things, but it seemed quite interesting.
“Mr. Ye, is everyone here?” Ah Can then came to Ye Feng, he had a flattering expression.
