165: Chapter 165: About to Set Off 165: Chapter 165: About to Set Off At the dinner table.
“You said you’re going to Europe.
Do you need to prepare anything?” Su Qingyu added a chopstick full of vegetables to Ye Shikai’s bowl.
She was surprised when Ye Shikai first told her about it, but since he had already decided, as his wife, Su Qingyu wouldn’t stand in his way.
Brother-in-law, you’re going to Europe, what’s going on?” Su Ziqing heard that Ye Shikai was headed to Europe and got so excited that her chopsticks flew right out of her hand and she fiercely slapped the table.
“Yeah, a friend in Europe has some trouble; I’m going over to check it out,” Ye Shikai said with a smile, noticing from Su Ziqing’s somewhat disheartened expression that she didn’t want him to go.
“How long will you be gone?” Su Ziqing quickly asked.
“Probably ten days to half a month at most; it won’t be too long.
Don’t worry,” Ye Shikai said.
“Wait for me a sec,” Su Ziqing said, looking secretive, and then immediately ran upstairs, leaving Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai looking at each other in confusion.
After about ten or so minutes, Su Ziqing bounced back downstairs.
“Brother-in-law, take a look.” Su Ziqing handed a long strip of paper to Ye Shikai, revealing a sly smile.
“Bags, cosmetics…” The list was filled with all sorts of luxury items Su Ziqing wanted.
So this lady wanted Ye Shikai to do her shopping, eh?
With so many items, they’d fill several suitcases.
“Qingqing, stop being silly,” Su Qingyu curiously glanced at the list, and having seen the full list of luxury items, she immediately understood Su Ziqing’s idea.
But brother-in-law, you are the best, you’ll help me, won’t you?” When Su Ziqing realized she couldn’t convince Su Qingyu, she started to act coquettishly towards Ye Shikai, who was at a loss for words.
This woman was just reproaching him as a jerk, and now she changed faces so quickly.
Seeing her pitiful look, Ye Shikai seriously doubted she would start lying on the ground, crying if he refused.
“Alright, I promise you, but these things will have to wait until I get back before I can give them to you,” Ye Shikai said, patting Su Ziqing on the head, eventually agreeing to her request.
“Oh yeah, brother-in-law is the best.” Su Ziqing immediately smiled, and the three of them finished eating before long.
Ye Shikai went back to his room, sat on the bed, and began cultivating the Emperor Xuan Scripture.
The technique is divided into eight levels, and Ye Shikai had reached the third level, the Kan Level.
However, through the recent battles and cultivation, he had clearly felt the shackles of the third level loosening, with the fourth level, Gen Level, not far away.
Ye Shikai would soon set off for Europe and the Holy Mountain, where even the Main God wouldn’t dare to run amok, so this trip would undoubtedly be a trial.
Improving his strength before departure would provide additional security.
The next day, Ye Shikai took a leave because Ghost had sent news from Europe.
Ye Shikai felt that a trip to the Holy Mountain was urgent and he might leave for Europe in the next couple of days, so he used one day to bid farewell to all his friends and relatives in Yanjing.
Actually, he didn’t know many people in Yanjing, except for An Lan, Luo Shiqi, and then there’s Mr.
Zhao, Li Mengmeng, Shi Chengyu from the jewelry store, and Luo Shiqi’s right-hand man, Cheng Yi.
This man hadn’t been in touch with Ye Shikai much recently, and although he didn’t harbor any malice, Ye Shikai always felt uneasy around him, likening him to a venomous snake in hibernation, not to be approached too closely.
That afternoon, at the jewelry store, Ye Shikai ran into someone he didn’t expect.
“Tang Yun, what are you doing here?” Yes, the person Ye Shikai encountered in the jewelry store was none other than Tang Yun.
All Ye Shikai wanted to say was “why here again,” remembering the last time, how nearly four desperados had almost leveled the jewelry store.
Shi, how about you?” Tang Yun also looked surprised to see Ye Shikai.
Since the robbery, Tang Yun had become an acquaintance of Shi Chengyu.
I came to bid farewell to Mr.
Shi.” Ye Shikai spoke.
“What, you’re leaving Yanjing?” Tang Yun was first startled, then spoke slowly.
I’m off to Europe soon, at eight o’clock the morning after next.
“The morning after next, at eight?
That’s exactly my flight time; looks like we can travel together.” Tang Yun said with delight.
Then I’ll have to trouble you then.” Ye Shikai smiled, and at that moment, Shi Chengyu also slowly came out from inside.
“Little Ye, what brings you to see me today?” Shi Chengyu was as hearty as ever.
It seemed he was always so optimistic.
Shi, I came to say my farewells before leaving.” Ye Shikai revealed his purpose.
“Since you’re going abroad, take good care of yourself.
Little Tang is exactly on your flight; pay attention to your safety on the road.” Shi Chengyu frowned slightly, sighed, and said, “Little Ye, come with me.” Knowing Shi Chengyu had things to say, Tang Yun tactfully excused herself, and Ye Shikai was led by Shi Chengyu into a small room.
Shi Chengyu took out a box from the cabinet and slowly took out the item from the box, handing it to Ye Shikai, “Here, take this.”
a phoenix pendant.” Ye Shikai exclaimed, its fine white jade was lustrous and delicate, enhancing its beauty as a single, perfect piece.
“You didn’t want to accept it last time, but this time, I think I should give it to you.” Shi Chengyu said indifferently.
Shi, I’m not lacking treasures,” declined Ye Shikai.
“No, please heed my words this time.
This jade will be of assistance to you.” Shi Chengyu insisted on giving the phoenix pendant to Ye Shikai, and this time he truly could not refuse.
After a long conversation, Ye Shikai left the jewelry shop with the pendant, although not knowing why Shi Chengyu said the jade would be of help to Ye Shikai.
But since he had said so, there must be a reason.
Ye Shikai drove to the Netherworld Palace base, where all his brothers who had been through life and death with him resided.
He had the deepest affection for them.
After announcing his intention to leave, Ye Shikai then gave instructions for the upcoming arrangements.
“Jeddon, continue to watch over that secret force in Yanjing, and also prevent Poseidon from launching a surprise attack while I’m away.” Ye Shikai ordered.
“Understood, Lord Netherworld King.”
“Wild Wolf, Short-nosed Crocodile, you are responsible for assisting Jeddon, guarding the key targets.” These key targets, of course, referred to the likes of Su Qingyu, Su Ziqing and so on.
They were not cultivators, and if they were to be abducted, undoubtedly, there would be more harm than good.
