Chapter 316: A little help from Xiao Ming

"Don't fight or start any more arguments." Jun Xie said.

"We will wait for sometime before those two return, and then I will speak about the urgent thing."

Ye Tian Yun slightly frowned; he couldn't guess what Jun Xie was referring to.

On the other hand, Kai Yang muttered, "I am surprised how annoying you can be, Shu Xian."

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "Trust me, I am more surprised by the fact that you can actually speak something."

"Hmph!"

Ye Tian Yun didn't waste any more attention on him. Instead, he looked at the table on the other end of the floor.

'He left?'

Surprisingly, Peak Master Duan had already left his seat.

His action caught Jun Xie's attention, and when they made slight eye contact, Jun Xie shrugged, indicating he had no idea where Peak Master Duan was.

Ye Tian Yun slightly nodded his head and then gestured towards a waiter.

After ordering some good food, he turned towards Kai Yang and said, "Yang Kai, don't you want to take a bath?"

Kai Yang gritted his teeth, "Don't you dare call me with that name. I am Kai Yang."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Yang Kai sounds much better, and it even saved your life today."

"Hmph!" Kai Yang clenched his fists, "It made me a eunuch."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "What was I supposed to call you then? Kai Yang? Have you ever heard of a eunuch named Kai Yang? I had to use Yang Kai; that sounds more like a name a eunuch will have."

For some reason, Ye Tian Yun felt the killing intent rise exponentially from Kai Yang's direction.

'Don't tell me… his real name is Yang Kai?'

'What the fuck! Why do I encounter people only with hidden and powerful backgrounds?'

Ye Tian Yun lamented his life while taking another sip of wine.

Jun Xie suddenly moved, took out the room keys, and put them in front of Kai Yang.

Kai Yang stood up and headed upstairs.

"Come back before the food arrives." Ye Tian Yun called from behind.

"Don't try to act friendly. We're mortal enemies." Kai Yang clenched his teeth.

Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes backward and slowly whispered, "Who is acting friendly? I just don't want my Spirit Stones to go to waste."

Jun Xie: "..."

…

After about ten minutes, Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming came downstairs.

They nodded at Ye Tian Yun and Jun Xie while taking their seats.

"Kai Yang didn't come back?" Yuan Shuchun asked.

Jun Xie replied, "He returned and went upstairs. Should be back soon."

Yuan Shuchun nodded and asked, "Any news on Qing Shen and Fu Kai? They have been gone for a long time now."

Jun Xie shook his head and asked Ye Tian Yun, "Shu Xian, you know anything about the situation?"

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "Well, it will take some time before they can return."

"Hm? Did something happen?" Yuan Shuchun asked.

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while replying, "Well, yeah. I asked them to buy two extra Ferghana horses."

"Two more?" The other disciples on the table were confused.

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Yeah, two more. We need to avoid the ambush and any other kind of attack in the future."

Jun Xie frowned, "Are you saying we should send scouts?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

Xiao Ming said, "Who will we send? We're only seven people."

"The last time I counted, seven was greater than two." Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes at him and then said to everyone, "Two people can go ahead and scout the way."

"This way, we can avoid any other ambush and might save ourselves from losing anymore."

Xiao Ming interrupted, "I don't think there will be any more ambushes."

Ye Tian Yun gestured him to stop, "It would be better if you don't speak anything else. Among everyone in the group, you're the weakest. I highly doubt you will be able to survive another ambush unless you hide once again in Senior Sister Yuan's skirt."

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth, "You-!"

"Alright, stop both of you." Yuan Shuchun put her hand between them.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ming stared straight at Ye Tian Yun, "I am the weakest? Shu Xian, oh Shu Xian, you will be surprised."

Ye Tian Yun was quite amused with his words; however, he knew that Xiao Ming wasn't faking his confidence.

'I will still whoop your ass when the time comes.'

At the end of the day, Ye Tian Yun didn't care about Xiao Ming's confidence. After all, no matter how agile a zebra is to a lion, he's only a meal.

"Who will go to scout ahead?" Jun Xie asked.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Since I have proposed the idea, I should be one of the scouts."

Jun Xie nodded, "Who will be the second scout?"

Ye Tian Yun suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xiao Ming, why don't you be the scout? Or are you gonna hide once again?"

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth but didn't reply yet.

This confused Ye Tian Yun a bit because he wasn't anticipating such a reaction.

Seeing no response, even Jun Xie and Yuan Shuchun slightly frowned at him.

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth, "Well, I can't go because I specialize more in a frontal assault. Scouting needs much more than just straight-up attacking."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, 'You will live one more day, Xiao Ming.'

Then asked, "Who will be the third one then? How about you, Senior Sister Yuan Shuchun?"

Yuan Shuchun narrowed her eyes on him, "Shu Xian, did you forget about what we talked about just half-hour ago? Do you really believe that I would agree to this?"

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, "What do you propose?"

Jun Xie added, "Should I come?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No. We need you back here."

"What about Kai Yang?" Xiao Ming suggested.

Hearing his words, Ye Tian Yun's lips twitched.

'Never thought Xiao Ming would unknowingly help me.'
