"The elders of the Purple Fire Sect, when accepting disciples, won't show favoritism based on anyone's background. They decide based on the disciples' talent and comprehension. Originally, Tang Rong was supposed to be accepted by someone of my generation, but Master Yuan Hui, after discovering Tang Rong, insisted on having Tang Rong as his disciple." Tang Heng said.

"That's quite domineering!" Ye Xiao laughed.

"It is a bit overbearing; however, Master Yuan Hui almost never accepts disciples. The fact that he did so shows that Tang Rong's potential truly is extraordinary. Though many elders within the Purple Fire Sect wanted to take Tang Rong on as a disciple, Master Yuan Hui never bothers to explain himself. Moreover, his strength is unfathomable, and apart from the Sect Leader, no one in the Purple Fire Sect can defeat him." Tang Heng said with a smile: "So, no one contends with him."

"It's almost noon. Are you treating me, or am I treating you for lunch?" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Tang Heng. Clearly, since Tang Heng assisted him, he ought to express his gratitude, although it's still unclear whether Tang Heng is related to the Soul Sect like Tang Long.

Tang Heng laughed and said, "This is Han City, so I guess I'm the host, and I'll treat you to a meal as a form of bribery to see if I can tag along with you!"

"I'm not some small-time punk on the streets, but you're right. Since you're a local, it's only natural for you to act as the host and treat. However, we should be there by three o'clock, so find a quick place where we can eat and leave immediately." Ye Xiao replied.

"Haha, alright." Tang Heng immediately said with a smile.

Then Tang Heng gave Ye Xiao an address, saying he would head there immediately.

Of course, Tang Heng had originally offered to pick up Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao insisted on going by himself.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao walked out of the room.

"Brother Xiao!" At this time, Wangg Yin also came out from a room.

Ye Xiao looked at Wangg Yin and asked, "What's up? Anything important?"

"A bit of something, which I think might be valuable!" Wangg Yin said, looking at Ye Xiao.

"Oh?" Ye Xiao said, "What is it?"

"It's like this: I found out about something that happened in Linghuo Sect a month ago. The Sect Master, Huo Qinglong, killed someone." Wangg Yin said.

"Murder? That doesn't seem like a big deal." Ye Xiao said.

Wangg Yin said, "Indeed, murder itself isn't a big deal, but the person he killed had some background. He was the head of financial management at Linghuo Sect. The reason for killing him was for embezzling the sect's funds to stock trade, and the company he invested in got forcibly delisted by the securities commission for falsifying business operations."

Upon hearing this from Wangg Yin, Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "What a fool, but for such a reason, it shouldn't warrant death."

"Originally, it shouldn't have resulted in death, yet he was still killed." Wangg Yin said, "The exact reason for his murder is still unclear, but the incident caused quite a stir in Linghuo Sect."

"How is this related to us; it's just a dead man."

"He has a brother!" Wangg Yin said.

When Ye Xiao heard this, he seemed to connect the dots and said, "Go on!"

"The man was named Li Yinhe, and his brother is Li Jinjiang, a trusted aide of Huo Qinglong!" Wangg Yin said, "He holds significant influence in Linghuo Sect, second only to several major elders. After Li Yinhe's death, Huo Qinglong indirectly bestowed many benefits upon Li Jinjiang. Although Li Jinjiang displays immense loyalty, I believe he could be swayed to our side!"

"You've mentioned Li Jinjiang's loyalty to Huo Qinglong!"

"Indeed, I'm sure of that point. However, as far as I know, Li Jinjiang's parents passed away when he and his brother were young, and Li Yinhe was raised by Li Jinjiang. I'm sure based on that alone, Li Jinjiang would never forget his brother's death." Wangg Yin stated.

Ye Xiao, hearing this, also seemed to agree with the reasoning.

"Looks like he's waiting for an opportunity to avenge," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Wangg Yin nodded, saying, "That's what I think. If we can sway Li Jinjiang, it would be very advantageous for us in dealing with Linghuo Sect."

Ye Xiao immediately nodded, saying, "You're right, it would be highly advantageous. You've done excellent work; it seems you've been busy."

Wangg Yin quickly said, "Brother Xiao, this isn't my credit, it's the work of Huo Feng and the Blood Eagle Guards, largely because Li Jinjiang's family is in a neighboring city of Han City."

Ye Xiao, of course, understood that it wouldn't be possible for Wangg Yin to investigate so thoroughly on his own. If it were the Blood Eagle Guards, then it would be different; they are natural-born hunters.

"I've noticed all your efforts, keep investigating, and find out everything advantageous to us. With effort, there's nothing we can't accomplish," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Wangg Yin also nodded immediately, saying, "Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao looked at Wangg Yin and said with a smile, "It seems you're quite confident. Are you intent on taking on the task of swaying Li Jinjiang?"

Wangg Yin, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately said, "Brother Xiao, may I go?"

"As long as you have confidence, of course you may," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "However, whether the task is accomplished is secondary. The priority is ensuring your personal safety since we all plan to leave the Northern Territory together."

Wangg Yin felt a wave of emotion hearing Ye Xiao's words and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, Brother Xiao, I understand. I will put forth my greatest effort, and likewise, I will make sure to stay alive."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, saying, "In your free time, cultivate more because, after all, strength is key for our group."

Wangg Yin again nodded affirmatively.

Subsequently, Ye Xiao said his goodbyes to Wangg Yin and left the inn directly, while Wangg Yin also began taking action. As for Wangg Yin's plans, that wasn't something for Ye Xiao to worry about.

Ye Xiao's role was not to be the vanguard charging into battle but to be the commander controlling the entire army!

There are things Ye Xiao must do himself, but there are some things he need not do personally.

Youlan House!

This is a distinctively styled leisure restaurant located in the city center of Han City. The diners here generally range from teenagers to those in their thirties, presenting a youthful atmosphere. Additionally, it offers a semi-self-service setup, making it quite convenient.

"Mr. Ye!"

When Ye Xiao got off from the taxi, Tang Heng walked over directly.

"Have you been waiting at the entrance all along?" Ye Xiao asked Tang Heng.

Tang Heng immediately responded, "No, no, I just got here too."
