Chapter 2386 - 2387: It’s as if Eyes Are Watching in the Shadows
Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately showed a keen interest: "So, Shenzhen is going to become incredibly lively. Are Olivia and I going to stay here for a few more days?"
"It seems so." Lian Xing said softly, "But you two are big figures abroad. Those arriving, you should have some connections with them, right?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"It’s best to win them over!"
"Stop dreaming!" Olivia suddenly spoke up: "It’s true that the two of us are overlords of the underground world, but I’m basically a lone wolf, without much influence. My words don’t carry much weight even within the vampire clan!"
"He does have people, but when faced with the king, they can only be cannon fodder. With this guy’s temper, he definitely won’t let his people become cannon fodder!"
Olivia and Ye Xunhuan have known each other for a while, so she understands Ye Xunhuan fairly well.
"The enemy of my enemy is a friend; they also want to take down the king..."
"But they also want to take down the person before your eyes." Olivia spoke again: "You mentioned last time that he has the Tai Chi seal!"
"Although I don’t know what this Tai Chi seal is or what it’s used for, given so many people are fighting over it, it must be something good. They’ll seize this chance to take us both down rather than contacting them for pointless excitement!"
Olivia’s words were blunt. Previously, due to Ye Xunhuan’s martial deterrence, even those coveting the Tai Chi seal in Ye Xunhuan’s hands dared not cause much trouble. But now, Ye Xunhuan is injured.
For those who have always coveted the Tai Chi seal in Ye Xunhuan’s hands, this is an unprecedented opportunity, so they definitely won’t miss it.
Collaborating with them, joining forces, is simply like plotting with a tiger!
Olivia is absolutely against doing such a thing.
"Olivia is not wrong!" Ye Xunhuan took over the conversation: "We cannot work with them, no matter who comes, we won’t."
"Of course, if the Demon King comes, you should try to get in touch with him. This guy is pretty reliable!"
Olivia nodded in agreement.
Lian Xing originally planned to leverage Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s background abroad to pull foreign forces in, but now it seems completely impossible!
Subsequently, Lian Xing sighed slightly and said, "Looks like we need to plan carefully, or we’ll surely be wiped out!"
"Do you feel like you’ve been dragged down by us?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a smile.
"A little!" Lian Xing said helplessly, "I know you’re not easy to deal with, but I didn’t expect so many people want you dead!"
"Actually, they don’t want me dead; they want the Tai Chi seal." Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "No need to be so nervous. If things don’t work out, I’ll just throw away the Tai Chi seal!"
"You’re willing to?"
"What else can I do if I’m not willing?" Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly: "Compared to the Tai Chi seal, life is more important!"
If the Tai Chi seal is lost, it can be found again. If others don’t give it, I’ll kill for it!
But if life is lost, then everything is gone.
Although the Tai Chi seal is not only a treasure of Huaxia but also a thought, Ye Xunhuan understands that if his brothers and master have spirits in heaven, they wouldn’t want him to lose his life just to guard the Tai Chi seal!
"Since you say so, then I know what to do. You’ll hear from me soon, and meanwhile, focus on healing. Tell me directly if you need anything — I’ll have someone find it immediately!"
"Don’t mention it; I do lack a few things. If you can find them, I think I’ll recover faster!"
"Tell me!"
"A hundred-year-old ginseng, a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum—though it’s difficult to find, a hundred-year-old one will do!" Ye Xunhuan made a concession: "And snow lotus..."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t hold back in front of Lian Xing, listing many rare herbs, some of which are not even available in the current market.
Lian Xing’s brows slowly furrowed: "I can’t guarantee to find them all, but I’ll try my best. However, about the money..."
"I’ll pay!" Ye Xunhuan said without any hesitation.
"In that case, there’s no problem!" Lian Xing’s face immediately revealed a deep smile.
Lian Xing didn’t stay any longer; after chatting a bit with Ye Xunhuan, she left.
Once Lian Xing left, Olivia immediately said: "What are you doing with so many herbs, making soup?"
"Healing!"
"Heal my foot!" Olivia said irritably, "Don’t think I can’t see it — you’ve already recovered a lot. I’m puzzled how you managed to heal so quickly..."
"I can’t hide anything from you!"
"How did you do it?"
"He Luo!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "I didn’t understand what He Luo was for before, but now I know it can help heal, and very quickly!"
"So powerful?"
"Of course, you need Inner Strength and to practice the things within it; otherwise, it’s all talk."
Initially eager, Olivia, upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, instantly withered like a frosted eggplant.
Whether due to different races or other reasons, Olivia couldn’t practice this so-called Inner Strength from Huaxia.
"Then why do you need those things?"
"You never know when they might come in handy. Someone as resourceful as Lian Xing is surely faster at finding them than us searching ourselves!" Ye Xunhuan said casually.
Olivia’s face slowly showed a look of understanding: "You’re really cunning!"
"It’s not me being cunning; it’s that we don’t know Lian Xing’s background or her purpose at all!" Ye Xunhuan said seriously: "She’s helping us for sure for a reason; I don’t believe there’s free lunch in the world!"
"Could it be the Tai Chi seal or He Luo on you?"
"That’s hard to say." Ye Xunhuan exhaled a puff of oppressive air: "But we better stay cautious of her, to avoid being deceived!"
Ye Xunhuan isn’t judging others with a villain’s heart, but the current situation forces Ye Xunhuan to cautiously face everything.
"You have a point, but I think we should find a chance to leave here; I keep feeling like an eye is always watching our every move!" Olivia said uncomfortably.
Both Olivia and Ye Xunhuan had this feeling, and although they searched everywhere here, they found no monitoring devices. Yet this eerie feeling still lingered in their hearts.
