Chapter 822: I’m Willing, I’m Willing

The beauty was darkly delighted upon hearing Ye Xiu was the butler of Nanxi Courtyard.

She just randomly found a passerby to ask directions, not expecting to ask the butler of Nanxi Courtyard.

Immediately, she sweetly said:

"So, it’s the butler, my apologies, I am here to visit the Chief!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a wad of cash from her bag and stuffed it into Ye Xiu’s hand, saying:

"I hope the butler can show some leniency!"

Ye Xiu immediately pretended to be greedy, saying:

"No problem, no problem, it’s just that the Chief isn’t home right now."

As he spoke, he happily put the money in his pocket, patted the outside of the pocket to ensure the money was snug, and only then did he smile with satisfaction.

These little actions did not escape the beauty’s eyes; she thought to herself that this butler was a greedy person, easily bribed.

"Not home? Where did he go?"

The beauty looked disappointed, pulled out another wad of cash and stuffed it into Ye Xiu’s hand, asking.

Ye Xiu immediately appeared more delighted and enthusiastic, looking completely corrupted by money, saying:

"Early this morning, I accompanied the Chief and the little Princess to Sword Cottage, and then Sword Cottage suddenly had an incident..."

"What incident?" The beauty interrupted Ye Xiu and asked.

She was eager to know if the Long Family’s plan was proceeding smoothly.

Ye Xiu casually said, "Oh, the Long Family sent 12 Seventh Realm, 50 Sixth Realm, 100 Fifth Realm, 100 Fourth Realm, 600 First, Second and Third Realm Silver Cloth Assassins, intending to massacre Sword Cottage..."

"And then?" The beauty asked eagerly.

"All dead!" Ye Xiu sighed, "Died tragically, even last year’s unclean poop got beaten out!"

What?

The beauty’s mind trembled, her brain momentarily lacked oxygen, nearly destroying her psychological defenses.

Yet, her face showed no abnormality, as she asked:

"Who is so powerful, able to kill so many experts?"

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I heard the four Sword Masters called him something like ’Ultraman’."

Ultraman?

The beauty searched her memory thoroughly but couldn’t recall anyone named Ultraman.

"Since the Chief isn’t home, I’ll head back now, visit another day."

The beauty was eager to report the situation, but before leaving, she stuffed another wad of cash into Ye Xiu’s hand.

Watching the beauty’s back, Ye Xiu hesitated for three seconds, activated the Earth System Totem, and with Jiaojiao dived underground, following her.

The Long Family was in Tiger City with such numbers, yet neither his intelligence network nor Heavenly Sect’s detected it; he must personally investigate how many Long Family members were hiding in Tiger City.

Just then, the beauty suddenly dived underground!

Ye Xiu thought, "Looks like the Long Family used the Earth System Totem’s escape technique to infiltrate Tiger City from underground; no wonder Ghost Shadow and Heavenly Sect’s intelligence personnel were unaware."

At this moment, the beauty was completely unaware she was being followed.

Ye Xiu tracked the beauty underground for over twenty minutes before she emerged.

They arrived at a deep courtyard, surrounded by walls.

The beauty emerged from underground and ran into the house.

"Ah Li, how come you’re back so quickly? Did you meet the little Princess and Ye Xiu?"

Three old men were sitting inside, one of them asked.

These three were the famous Long Family’s three tigers of King Island: Long Qianzhang, Long Qianxiang, and Long Qianfan.

"Great-grandfather, there’s been an incident."

Long Li’s expression was grave. Without waiting for Long Qianzhang and the others to inquire, she directly explained how she met the ’butler’ at Nanxi Courtyard and learned from him that the Long Family’s surprise attack on Sword Cottage was completely wiped out.

After listening!

Long Qianfan looked displeased, "According to the plan, everyone in the surprise attack on Sword Cottage would wear masks when acting, only if they were all killed would the four Sword Masters recognize their identities. The butler of Nanxi Courtyard described everyone’s power in such detail, it seems the entire force in the surprise attack on Sword Cottage is indeed dead."

Long Qianxiang said, "It seems the four Sword Masters anticipated the three Judicator Families harbored murderous intent towards Sword Cottage and were prepared; otherwise, given Sword Cottage and those martial artists’ powers, they’re no match for the Long Family elites."

Long Qianzhang remained silent, his face extremely sullen; the Sword Cottage battle left the Long Family elite nearly wiped out, leaving only the four here.

After a while, Long Qianzhang wondered:

"Has anyone heard of the name ’Ultraman’?"

Long Qianxiang, Long Qianfan, and Long Li shook their heads; the name sounded like someone from the three Judicator Families.

"Immediately send a message to the King for reinforcements."

Long Qianzhang said solemnly:

"Ye Xiu likely teamed up with Ultraman and Sword Cottage, and the Long Family’s power in Tiger City is left with just us four. If we fight, there will inevitably be casualties. To eliminate Ye Xiu and rescue the little Princess, the King must send us reinforcements."

"On it!" Long Li promptly ran upstairs to contact the King.

Only after half an hour, did she come down, saying:

"The King said countless ships, estimated in the millions, divided into four paths, are moving towards the east, west, south, and north ports of King Island, and the King is already organizing troops, forming four armies to confront the invading enemies."

"Lady Stephanie’s meaning is, our Long Family will command the southern army, confront the enemies invading the southern port, while annihilating Sword Cottage, capturing Ye Xiu, rescuing the little Princess, then send Ye Xiu and the Princess to the Golden Family."

Ye Xiu nearly couldn’t resist emerging from the underground: No need to capture, I’m willing to go to the Golden Family, I’m willing, I’m willing, let’s go right now.

But he restrained himself!

Because he still had some matters unfinished, like distributing the Totem on him.

"If so, we will wait for the southern army to arrive before taking action."

Long Qianzhang said:

"Before that, Ah Li, go to Nanxi Courtyard, use Purple Pupil to control the butler, have him infiltrate Ye Xiu’s side to gather intelligence for us."

Long Li nodded: "Alright, I’m going now!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu quietly left, feeling incredibly pleased.

If he gets ’captured’ to the Golden Family, the war won’t need to be fought; he alone can challenge the three Judicator Families.

Ye Xiu didn’t go back to Nanxi Courtyard immediately, but first went to Sword Cottage, reminding the people at Sword Cottage and the martial artists to outwardly claim ’Ultraman’ wiped out the Long Family.

Then he used escape technique to return with Jiaojiao to Nanxi Courtyard.

Before his seat was even warm, the doorbell rang.

"Why are you here again?"

Ye Xiu ran to open the door and saw it was Long Li, pretending not to know the purpose of her visit, he asked.

"Sorry, has the Chief returned?" Long Li asked apologetically.

"Not yet!" Ye Xiu shook his head.

Long Li smiled upon hearing this, saying:

"Mr. Butler, do you find my eyes pretty?"

With that, she activated Purple Pupil.

Ye Xiu pretended to fall for it, leaned in to scrutinize Long Li’s eyes, surprising, "Oh, your eyes can change color, is it purple glaucoma?"

Long Li was dumbfounded, what the hell is purple glaucoma, there’s no such eye condition, she straightforwardly unleashed her Purple Pupil ability.

Immediately, Ye Xiu cooperatively looked dazed, his expression turned cute.

"What’s your name?"

Seeing Ye Xiu fall for it, Long Li asked.

Ye Xiu: "My name is... Pablo Diego Jose Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispiniano Maria Remedios Cipriano de la Santisima Trinidad Maria Palasicios Ruizy Blasco-oli-gay."

Long Li: "???"
