Chapter 531 Han Yun
"Exactly, because of the recent annexation of Wutianmen, many monks have fled to Zhaoning County to avoid trouble. My Han family is a local force, and many people covet it. That's why my little girl was attacked by assassins. If I hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed. Afraid of disastrous consequences.”
Han Yuanfeng sighed and said with a troubled expression.
"Oh, it seems that Patriarch Han failed to kill the assassin at that time?"
Ye Chunyang said noncommittally.
He was not interested in protecting Han Yuanfeng's daughter, he only wanted to get Ling Xiaozhu, but he vaguely heard something from the other party's words.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from fellow Taoists."
Han Yuanfeng was surprised and admired Ye Chunyang's wisdom.
"It's a shame to say this. Those assassins were only in the late stage of foundation building. I could have killed him, but I didn't expect that their escape skills were quite tricky. I let them escape in the next moment of negligence."
Ye Chunyang looked deep in thought.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Han Yuanfeng felt a little nervous. Now the Han family was encountering a major and difficult matter, and he could not distract himself from taking care of his daughter.
This person has a high level of cultivation. If he is willing to agree to his conditions, he will be free from worries.
"To be honest, I am not interested in the conditions proposed by Patriarch Han. If possible, I would prefer that Patriarch Han offer another price, or even double the purchase price."
After thinking for a long time, Ye Chunyang finally said calmly.
There are still some spiritual materials to extend the life of Monster Eater Gu that have not yet been collected. Ye Chunyang does not want to delay here, so it would be best if he can exchange materials for Lingshuang Bamboo from the Han family.
Han Yuanfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know something. When I fought with those assassins that day, I vaguely found out that the assassins had a deep background. There seemed to be a mysterious master behind them. Whenever there is a chance, let alone exchange with fellow Taoist." Even if I offer the Lingshuang Bamboo to my Taoist friends, I won’t complain at all.”
"So, there is no room for negotiation?"
There was a cold light in Ye Chunyang's eyes.
Sensing that Ye Chunyang seemed to have murderous intent, Han Yuanfeng stiffened and his face turned a little pale.
But thinking about being approached by the people behind those assassins, the Han family would also be in danger. And if they were protected by this person, even if the Han family was really in danger of escaping, their daughter would still have a glimmer of hope.
Immediately, Han Yuanfeng gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "I know that this request is a bit presumptuous, but I have no choice but to do so. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stared at Han Yuanfeng indifferently and remained silent again.
"I wonder where your concubine is now and what her cultivation level is?"
Ye Chunyang looked slightly relaxed.
With Ye Chunyang's cultivation, he could kill everyone in the Han family and snatch Ling Shuangzhu with just a raise of his hands, but he was not a cruel and murderous person after all. The Han family had no enmity against him, so there was no need to be so ruthless.
However, he neither agreed nor refused, making it difficult to figure out.
Hearing the hint of relief in his words, Han Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "My daughter has just established the foundation not long ago. Because I am worried that the madmen who attacked her will take action again, I have arranged her in a safe place."
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, thinking about something in his heart.
After a moment, he said: "Take out Ling Shuangzhu, and I will decide whether to agree to Patriarch Han's conditions after I verify the authenticity."
"This..." Han Yuanfeng hesitated slightly.
"Hehe! If I want to take something by force, even if the whole Han family comes out with all their strength, they may not be able to stop me. Besides, I never make verbal deals. Since the head of the Han family wants me to be your daughter's bodyguard, Do you think I would agree before seeing Ling Shuangzhu?"
Ye Chunyang sneered.
When Han Yuanfeng heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he smiled apologetically and said, "What my fellow Taoist said is absolutely true, but I have been worrying too much. I will order someone to bring Lingshuangzhu here. Fellow Taoist, you can identify the authenticity."
After saying this, Han Yuanfeng clapped his hands, and soon someone walked into the hall carrying a silver plate with a glass-like jade box placed on it.
After being delivered to Ye Chunyang, Han Yuanfeng immediately asked someone to open it.
A strange bamboo with a length of five inches and a diameter of half an inch appeared in front of him. It was black on the outside and green on the inside. Its breath was slightly similar to that of the Millennium Cold Marrow Branch. They were both cold-attribute spiritual materials, but in comparison, the frosty bamboo had a milder cold air. Only little bits of frost show up on the surface.
Ye Chunyang used his spiritual consciousness to explore and felt secretly satisfied. In fact, most of the folk remedies given by Guang Lingzi were cold-attributed spiritual materials. The strange bamboo in front of him was undoubtedly the Frost Bamboo.
"What, is this the Lingshuang Bamboo that Fellow Taoist needs?"
Han Yuanfeng asked with a certain amount of anxiety and a certain amount of vigilance.
"Yes, this thing is indeed Lingshuang Bamboo."
Ye Chunyang nodded slightly and said: "It's not impossible for me to agree to your conditions, but I still have to say something up front. Although I will protect your daughter, it will take up to ten days. After ten days, I will leave. After all, no matter how precious the Lingshuang Bamboo is, it’s only worth this price. Besides, if the opponent’s cultivation is higher than mine, I will never take action.”
"Ten days?"
Han Yuanfeng lowered his eyes slightly, with a look of contemplation. The deadline was actually somewhat different from what he expected, but it was better than nothing.
Moreover, this person can defeat the elders with one move, even if he is a monk with late-stage magic power. It is worth using Lingshuangzhu to exchange for the protection of such a master.
He immediately nodded: "Okay, according to what fellow Taoist said, my original plan was to entrust the little girl to a reliable person, and then secretly find out the masterminds behind the attack on my Han family. Within these ten days, It’s enough for my Han family to arrange it secretly.”
"From what Chief Han said, it seems that the Han family can deal with the person behind it by themselves? In that case, why do you need to protect your daughter yourself?"
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes.
Just now, Han Yuanfeng said that the people behind the assassins were quite capable, but he claimed that they were capable of dealing with them. It seemed that he already knew the details of those people.
"To be honest, I do have some clues about the identities of those people, but I can't be sure. If it's as I think, my Han family may be able to handle it with the strength of me, but if not, I'm afraid my Han family will suffer. It will be a disaster, so within these ten days, we must not only find out the identity and strength of the other party, but also secretly leave a backup plan and prepare to evacuate at any time. "
Han Yuanfeng took a deep breath. After speaking, he looked up at Ye Chunyang and said with a wry smile: "The person I am most worried about during this period is my little girl Han Yun, so I have no choice but to take the liberty of inviting seniors to escort her."
"I don't want to get too involved in your Han family's affairs, but don't worry, since I promised to protect your daughter, I will naturally do what I say." Ye Chunyang waved his hand.
After a pause, he added: "However, I don't want to reveal my identity in front of outsiders, so when I am around her, I will lower my cultivation level. You don't need to tell her more about my origins."
"Yes, fellow Taoist, don't worry, I won't mention anything about you."
Han Yuanfeng perked up and responded quickly.
Although he said this, Han Yuanfeng secretly smiled bitterly. Not to mention that he would not reveal the identity of this person rashly, even if he wanted to reveal it, there was no way to know it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "So you haven't asked fellow Taoist Gao for his name yet?"
"My surname is Ye. You don't need to know my full name. I'm not from Zhaoning County, and you don't need to investigate my origins."
Ye Chunyang said calmly.
Han Yuanfeng hurriedly responded after hearing this.
"Okay, now you can take me to see your daughter. Since I have promised you, I will naturally protect her every step of the way within these ten days. As long as she is not a master in the pill formation stage, I am confident that I can still protect her. Safe and sound."
Ye Chunyang said no more and accepted Ling Shuangzhu generously in front of Han Yuanfeng.
"If Fellow Daoist Ye can say this, I will feel relieved."
Hearing this, Han Yuanfeng was truly relieved, and at the same time he was even more shocked. He secretly thought that his guess was correct. This man was indeed a great monk in the late stage of magic. This transaction was considered the right one.
At that moment, Han Yuanfeng faced Ye Chunyang with even more awe, and said, "My Taoist friend has a distinguished status, so how dare I bother to go see my little girl in person? I will order her to come and say hello to my Taoist friend."
After speaking, he raised his hand and a transmission note was sent out of the hall.
Ye Chunyang had no objection to this and simply sat indifferently where he was.
However, when talking to Han Yuanfeng, he urged the Origin Scripture a little, and immediately gathered his breath and calmed down. He only showed the level of about the early stage of foundation building, and looked like an ordinary low-level casual cultivator.
According to what Han Yuanfeng said, her daughter's cultivation level was only in the early stage of foundation building, and he had to protect her at all times. If he showed too high cultivation level, he would probably scare the other party, which would make it difficult for him to do well.
Seeing his magical ability to control his breath freely, Han Yuanfeng naturally couldn't help but marvel.
However, this man was very sensible and did not ask any more questions. The other party's cultivation level was beyond the reach of even the elders. It was better for such an advanced person not to pry into the matter on his own, so as not to arouse the other party's resentment.
Ye Chunyang has no intention of having a close relationship with Han Yuanfeng. In his opinion, this is just an equal deal. However, Zhaoning County is close to the border of Lianyunhai and promised Han Yuanfeng to protect his daughter. He also wanted to inquire about the Xuanyun Turtle here. Maybe something will be gained.
"Why did the father call his daughter here in such a hurry?"
Just as Ye Chunyang was secretly planning his future goals, a pleasant voice came from outside the door, and then a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl appeared in front of him.
This woman was dressed in military uniform, with fair skin and beautiful appearance. She had a fiery red whip wrapped around her waist, and her brows showed a bit of heroism.
However, looking at her aura that was a bit unstable, it was obvious that she had only advanced recently and her realm was not yet stable.
"Yun'er! Come on, come and see Fellow Daoist Ye. Fellow Daoist Ye will protect your safety in the next period of time. No matter where you go, you need to inform Fellow Daoist Ye and ask him to accompany you."
Han Yuanfeng smiled warmly at the girl and introduced the two of them at the same time: "Fellow Taoist Ye, this is my little girl Han Yun. I will need to take more care of you in the future."
Ye Chunyang nodded lightly, glanced at the girl and then looked away, his face expressionless.
The girl opposite her suddenly frowned.
Originally, the girl was slightly curious when she heard that her father had hired a bodyguard for her. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, her eyes towards Ye Chunyang revealed a hint of repulsion.
