Chapter Forty-Five: Searching for Yue Bing

  About twenty minutes later, the thin man came back.

  Not just him, but behind him were five young men wearing similarly tattered clothes.

  Among them was a refined-looking man with a single-lens glasses, holding a painting in his hand. The cuffs of his washed white shirt had a few ink stains on them. He didn't speak and handed the painting to Yueyang first. Yueyang took it and saw that the person in the painting was indeed Hei Yi, although she was wearing black clothes and a veil, her spirit and demeanor were all there, making it possible for people to recognize her at a glance. If not for the ink being still wet, Yueyang would have suspected that this delicate and vivid painting had taken ten days or half a month to complete.

  "This painting may not be very accurate, just now Ye Kong only gave me five minutes, and I have never seen the Yue Bing you are looking for, it is only based on the descriptions of He Ziyun and Qin Yang, it is difficult to achieve absolute accuracy." The man with a single lens glasses explained slightly nervously.

  "No, you drew it very well." Yueyang was astonished in his heart. This guy hadn't seen Yuebing before, and he could draw her so accurately just based on the description?

  And it was done in just five minutes.

  This guy is absolutely a genius when it comes to painting!

  Yue Yang didn't have time to praise him now. He turned to the other four and asked urgently, "Who among you has seen Yue Bing? Was it one of you two? When did you see her?"

  A slightly short and fair-skinned man who called himself He Ziyun said, "Half a month ago, I was with Qin Yang on the banks of the Shangluo River, recording military achievements for someone. At first, we didn't pay attention to the Rose Team passing by, but when we heard that the young master of the Yan family, who had hired us to write down their military achievements, and the captain of the Rose Team, Shen Tugongzi, were greeting each other, there was also Yue Jia's fourth young master, Yue Yan Gongzi. When we were writing with our heads down, we unintentionally heard them mention Yue Jia's third young master... Cough, they said some unpleasant things, and later that black-clothed girl, Yue Bing, got angry and quarreled with them..."

  When He Ziyun mentioned the three young masters of the Yue family, all six people looked at Yueyang with some concern.

  These people seem to be clever and have guessed a bit about Yueyang's identity.

  Although they didn't know Yueyang and couldn't see his face under the black scarf, they all wondered... who would be so anxious to find Yuebing?

  This man who has come, even if he is not Yue Bing's brother, must be a young master of the Yue family... Which young master of the Yue family does not know? Eldest son Yue Tian and fourth youngest Yue Yan are both famous in the upper capital, and in the Tongtian Tower, they are both leaders among the younger generation. Fifth youngest Yue Feng is the captain of the Imperial Princess's guard team and cannot leave the princess to come here. Sixth youngest Yue Hai is still young, only a 16-year-old youth. As for ninth youngest Yue Feng, he is just a child.

  Apart from the three young masters of the Yue family who are hidden at home, which one among the younger generation of the Yue family is not recognized by everyone?

  So He Ziyun did not completely quote the words of Yan Pojun, Shentu and Yue Yan mocking Yue Yang, but directly skipped over them without saying.

  Despite this, they all looked at Yueyang with a hint of worry, fearing that he would lose his temper.

  "What's next?" Yueshan didn't mind others talking behind his back, he completely regarded those guys as farting! He was not a waste at all, but a lucky genius, what was there to fear about others' gossip? Now hiding and enduring, one day he would make the Cup Guy pay back this debt, when that time came, he would make those trash swallow their teeth and blood back into their belly! Now, the most important thing was to find Yueshan's sister, as long as she was safe and sound, then nothing else mattered! As for training, he already had a certain amount of power now, completely able to help Yueshan's sister pass the first layer of trials.

  If it can be said that when he had just crossed over, Yue Yang still had some reservations in his heart towards Yue Bing and the others, then now, he has completely integrated into the beautiful woman's family.

  He also regarded Yue Bing as his own sister in his heart.

  Now that Yue Bing has been found, Yue Yang will naturally guide her and help her improve quickly.

  Yue Bing's girl couldn't win the argument, so she initiated a martial arts duel. She summoned two war treants and almost killed Shen Ti's scorpion lion, but then Yan Pojun joined the battle and was extremely powerful, defeating Yue Bing's little girl two-on-one. Afterwards, Shen Ti expelled her from the team... Qin Yang with dark bronze skin briefly described the conflict process.

  "What was Yueran doing at that time?" Yueyang knew that although Qin Yang said it simply, the fighting process must have been very intense. Two big men bullying Yueling, a little girl, really made people angry.

  Yueyang's face remained calm and expressionless, but in his heart, a murderous intent arose.

  He shifted the topic to another key figure, namely Yue Yan. This guy is also a member of the Yue family. Seeing his younger sister being bullied, can he just stand by and do nothing? From Yue Bing's letter earlier, it was hinted that everything was caused by Yue Yan's instigation, fueling the fire and adding insult to injury. If Yue Yan hadn't done all the bad things, causing Yue Bing to be heartbroken, she wouldn't have mentioned it to her mother so easily.

  He Ziyun hesitated for a moment before finally telling the truth.

  "Is that so? What a good brother indeed!" Yue Yang sneered.

  He couldn't wait to trample on Yue Yan's head and beat him up a million times.

  But this revenge is not urgent, after all, they are now "one family". Sooner or later, there will be opportunities to pay back the shameless little man, Yue Yan. Especially during the annual "Junior Martial Arts Competition" of the Yue family, he can completely defeat Yue Yan and his group, trample them underfoot, and avenge Yue Bing's grievances!

  The six people watching Yueyang didn't get angry and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  They exchanged glances and confirmed each other's suspicions in their hearts.

  This anxious man who came to find Yue Bing was indeed the legendary third young master of the Yue family... If it was really him, then things would be simple from now on. As long as he could find Yue Bing quickly, being her brother, he definitely wouldn't go back on his word about the reward, and most importantly, this young master was generous with his money and knew how to respect others, a rare good employer.

  "Is your name Ye Kong?" Yueyang was convinced of Shouzi's ability, this guy was a real talent, with excellent reaction ability and work efficiency. He had only given him half an hour, and he had already found the person he needed most. Yueyang stretched out his hand and gently patted Shouzi's shoulder: "You've done a great job, now we need to find Yue Bing as soon as possible. If she's safe and sound, I can give you double the reward! By the way, who are they?"

  Yue Yang found that the two young men who had been standing at the back and hadn't spoken a word, were a pair of identical twin brothers.

  These two people, their clothes were also tattered and worn out, but on their backs, one to the left and one to the right, each had two curved knives inserted, and they were the only two of the six who possessed weapons. Yue Yang felt very strange, what were these two doing here?

  If Xiao Zile Ye Kong is a guide, Wenxiu man is a painter, Hezi Yun and Qin Yang are eyewitnesses, what about these twin brothers?

  "My name is Lie Che, and this is my brother Lie Ge. We are both second-level high-ranking warriors. Our summoned beast is the Gale Scythe Beast! Ye Kong estimates that you will be passing through the Dragon's Spine Gorge to reach the Star Domain's trial grounds. We can protect you as long as we don't fall in battle, and you won't be in any danger!"

  This guy is really too idle, thinking too much!

  Did he think he was useless just because he heard that he was a waste of time and deliberately found two bodyguards for himself?

  "Hey, don't worry about the money we're charging. The six of us will only take one payment, no need to add more. We just hope you can hire all six of us at once! With just me alone, it's not safe to bring you through the Dragon's Spine Valley. Although you have an Iron Backbone Wolf, in the Tower of Heaven, without a contract beast, it's easy to escape during battle! My brothers' skills are exceptional, I guarantee their strength surpasses their current rank, they just don't have the money to get certified at the Warrior's Guild... If we have six people, Wen Yu can go to the Mercenary Guild and post a wanted ad; He Zi Yun can go to Tian Bao, Tian Hua, and Tian Ji to gather information; Qin Yang can rush to Shang Luo, Shang Ze, and Shang Hong to keep watch. When we arrive at Xing Yu, if they have any discoveries, they'll definitely inform us through the Mercenary Guild. At the same time, they can also help investigate Shen Tu and Yan Po Jun's latest movements, so we don't run into them again!"

  Yueyang listened and nodded slightly.

  However, he discovered a problem. Apart from the voluptuous beauties, neither Fatty nor Ye Kong could see through Hui Tai Lang's true strength. Moreover, he felt that Hui Tai Lang, who needed to accelerate his evolution with his own True Qi at all times, would absolutely not betray him.

  The grey wolf, no matter how hard you beat it, can't be driven away. There's absolutely no need to worry that it will betray!

  "We really need a job!" The six of them looked at Yueyang with eyes full of longing.

  "For you, this is a job, but for me, it's Yue Bing's life. Please, everyone must go all out! Of course, Yue Yang wouldn't care how many people Ye Kong brought with him; on the contrary, the more people participating in finding Yue Bing, the better. Now he just wanted to use the fastest speed to find that stubborn little girl first."

  "Please rest assured, for us, this job is also a matter of life and death, because we are all about to starve to death!" Ye Kong looked at Yueyang and nodded heavily.
