#1297 - Chapter 1297: Revisiting the Old Place

Ye Kong didn't have time to explain, and Ling Guan continued, "The matter of the Anti-Realm Sect has been investigated. Our undercover agent is in trouble, and the mission has been temporarily changed. We must rescue the undercover agent immediately."

Hearing that Lin Xing was in trouble, Ye Kong immediately said, "Then we'll go over now."

"Not yet." Ling Guan shook her head. "We suffered heavy losses in the Poison Water Ditch incident, and the team members still need a day of rest."

Ling Guan took out a spirit talisman. "This is the last piece of information left by the undercover agent before being exposed. We need to find the location of the Anti-Realm Sect based on the information in order to rescue the undercover agent."

"So troublesome! Even if their Anti-Realm Sect has eighty-one caves, we will destroy them one by one, leaving no one alive!" Ye Kong said.

Ling Guan nodded, seemingly inadvertently asking, "Although the Qitian Ring was obtained by you, since it is one of the Ten Ancient Spiritual Weapons, it should be reported to the Upper Realm."

Ye Kong waved his hand, ignoring this suggestion, "Let's talk about it after the Anti-Realm Sect matter is resolved."

Ling Guan didn't press the matter, handing the spirit talisman to Ye Kong. "The matter of seeking information should not be publicized. Please have the captain arrange a disciple to investigate."

Ye Kong took the spirit talisman. "No need to trouble anyone else, I'll go myself!"

"This… the investigation team cannot be without a captain for a day. Please reconsider."

"It doesn't matter. Isn't the previous captain almost recovered? Just hand it over to him." After Ye Kong finished speaking, he didn't even return to the inn and turned around and left.

Reaching an open space, Ye Kong took out the spirit talisman, his fingers clenched tightly. The spirit talisman rose into the air, and as the red flames rose, a faint black giant纹 symbol appeared. After two seconds, the black giant纹 disappeared with the flames.

Ye Kong stared for a long time. There was too little information from just a black giant纹, and Ye Kong looked at it for a long time.

It was just an ordinary black giant纹.

Except that it was a little bigger than usual.

In the end, Ye Kong had no ideas, so he went back to ask Ling Guan for more information.

Just as he was about to push the door open, Hu Yishao's voice came from inside.

"What? Ye Kong is secretly doing something else again? I say, can you let Ye Kong do things so secretly? Don't forget, who caused our current miserable state."

Lei Bao couldn't speak yet, so he could only move his fingers to express his agreement.

The others also echoed. Wen Jie couldn't help but mention, "Don't forget, when everyone was attacked by poison gas, it was Ye Kong who teleported everyone back. Otherwise, you would all be rotten piles of mud now."

"If Ye Kong hadn't insisted on digging a pit, would we have jumped into it? In my opinion, Ye Kong is more likely to spoil things than accomplish them. Now, as the captain, I have expelled Ye Kong from the secret investigation team. We will set off to go back first thing tomorrow morning."

Hu Yishao arranged.

"We're going back without doing anything? Do you think our secret investigation team is here for tourism?" Ling Guan couldn't listen anymore and said, "Also, Ye Kong is going to complete another mission. The people who stay here also need to complete their corresponding missions."

Ye Kong listened for a while and shook his head and left.

However, Ye Kong suddenly had a clue about this black giant纹.

Ye Kong leisurely returned to a small town and walked step by step to a stall selling umbrellas, stopping.

The stall owner was a young girl, wearing a jade-green jacket with a white long skirt, tidying up one oil-paper umbrella with various patterns after another.

Ye Kong stood for a moment, taking out a black oil-paper umbrella from the colorful oil-paper umbrellas.

The little girl saw someone picking up an umbrella and immediately looked up, about to recommend it. When she saw the person, she was stunned for a moment and asked incredulously, "Ye Kong?"

Ye Kong nodded. "How much does this umbrella cost?"

Xu Nuo saw Ye Kong again, not knowing what her emotions were. Seeing Ye Kong pick up the black umbrella, she confirmed again, "Are you sure you want this black umbrella?"

Ye Kong nodded.

Xu Nuo sighed, continuing, "You can buy other umbrellas. Sister Furong specifically instructed that if someone wants to buy this umbrella, take the umbrella and go to Erlizhuang to find her."

Ye Kong took the umbrella, paid Xu Nuo, and walked towards Erlizhuang.

Xu Nuo behind her hesitated for a long time, calling out to Ye Kong, "Ye Kong."

Ye Kong turned his head. "What's wrong?"

Xu Nuo opened her mouth hesitantly, "I heard Sister Furong talk about that matter later. I know that the sect was destroyed not because of you. I'm sorry, I blamed you."

"It's okay. You saved me, I should be thanking you." Ye Kong said, "If I come back early, I'll treat you to a meal. How about the Yangchun noodles from last time?"

"Okay." Xu Nuo smiled. "Then I'll close the stall a little later today, so I can wait for you a little longer."

"Okay." After Ye Kong finished speaking, he walked towards Erlizhuang without stopping.

When he arrived at Erlizhuang, as soon as Ye Kong mentioned Sister Furong's name, someone immediately responded, "Oh, you mean that woman in the west of the city?" That person looked at Ye Kong a few times. "However, with your poor appearance, you probably won't catch Sister Furong's eye."

Ye Kong thanked the few people and walked on the red carpet towards Sister Furong's mansion.

The few people behind him joked, "How long do you think this young man can stay this time?"

"I guess no more than an hour!"

"Hahaha, you really overestimate him. I think it'll only be half a joss stick of time."

……

Ye Kong ignored the voices behind him. On both sides of the red carpet, there were various colorful flowers blooming, and green vines wound around the walls.

However, what puzzled Ye Kong was that, apart from the few men he saw at the entrance of the village, the doors of the entire Erlizhuang were closed, and there wasn't a single person in sight during the day.

Ye Kong gathered his clothes, feeling a chill behind him for no reason.

After walking for half an hour, Ye Kong finally reached the end of the carpet. It was an all-red house, with a hook extending from the door.

Ye Kong hung the black oil-paper umbrella on it. The hook was quickly pulled back, and the closed door opened. As soon as Ye Kong stepped in, flower rain fell from above his head, pink petals swaying, with a few petals landing on Ye Kong's head.

Ye Kong walked step by step into the main hall. In the center of the main hall's chair, lay a woman wearing a pink cheongsam, holding a white cat in her arms, humming a ditty, swaying with the rhythm.

"Are you, Sister Furong?" Ye Kong asked softly.

The deck chair stopped and turned around. The woman on the deck chair had a face like a peach blossom, skin like congealed fat, and was incomparably beautiful.

"Yes, Ye Kong."
