Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"As expected of a Saint Realm expert, this composure is something I do not possess."
The woman in red smiled and then introduced herself very seriously: "My name is Hongyu, and I come from the Crimson Treasury."
The Crimson Treasure Trove?
Night Breeze looked thoughtful and nodded in satisfaction.
Seven hundred years ago, Luo Tong entrusted the key to this small box to the Zhu Hongbao Treasury for safekeeping.
The Crimson Treasury is a very mysterious organization that is spread throughout the Lingluo Great World, with people in almost every place.
Moreover, the members of the Crimson Treasury are all very strong, at least at the Transcendent Realm!
Luo Tong, at least seven hundred years ago, had never seen anyone below the Transcendent Realm in the Vermilion Treasure Vault!
The Zhu Hongbao Treasury mainly deals with only two things: intelligence and the safekeeping of valuables.
Luo Tong paid a considerable amount of spirit stones to have the Vermilion Treasury manage the key to this small box for him.
Now that the people from the Crimson Treasury have come knocking, it seems they want to complete this deal.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng said, "Miss Hongyu's sudden visit seems to be to return what I entrusted to your Crimson Treasure Vault back then?"
“That’s right, but first I need to confirm that you are indeed Luo Tong, the ancestor of the Luo family,” Hongyu said.
"How do you plan to confirm this?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
Hongyu suddenly said, "Heaven and Earth?"
"I am the only one who reigns supreme!" Ye Feng replied without hesitation.
"The agreed-upon code was correct. It seems you are indeed Luo Tong. I never expected that after seven hundred years, you would still be alive. The elders of our Crimson Treasury all thought you had died seven hundred years ago," Hongyu said with a smile.
"Enough with the nonsense, just give me the stuff," Ye Feng said.
Hongyu immediately took out a key from her storage ring, smiled, and walked over to hand it to Yefeng.
“This key has been stored in our Zhu Hongbao warehouse for seven hundred years; it’s quite an antique,” Hongyu joked.
"You can go now," Night Wind said.
"Why are you in such a hurry to send me away? I haven't even had a sip of water yet..." Hongyu complained.
The night wind remained unmoved, watching her indifferently.
Hongyu sighed and said, "As expected of an ancient relic from seven hundred years ago, you can't even joke around... But I can't leave now, because I have another mission."
"What mission?" Night Wind asked.
"When you first came into contact with our Crimson Treasury seven hundred years ago, you were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Therefore, the elders of our Crimson Treasury believed that you had no long-term value. That is why you were just an ordinary customer to our Crimson Treasury."
"But things are different now. After seven hundred years of seclusion, you have not only recovered from your injuries, but you also seem to have become stronger than before. In that case, after discussion, the elders of our Crimson Treasure Vault have decided to upgrade your level. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of our Crimson Treasure Vault."
Hongyu spoke very seriously, her crimson eyes still fixed on Yefeng.
Night Breeze chuckled and said, "What benefits would I gain from becoming a VIP customer of your Crimson Treasury?"
“Of course there are benefits. You can enjoy a 20% discount when you do business with us in the future,” Hongyu said.
20% off... Hearing these four words, Ye Feng had a momentary illusion of returning to the real world.
Hongyu added, "Moreover, as a VIP customer, it will be much easier for you to contact us. This is a ring specially made for VIP customers by our Crimson Treasury. Keep it safe and use it when you need to contact us."
After saying that, Hongyu took out a bright red jade ring from somewhere and placed it in front of Yefeng.
This ring is made of a special material called blood jade, which is very strong and not easily damaged.
"Then I'll say thank you in advance," Ye Feng said.
Hongyu waved her hand and said, "I should have come to find you a long time ago, but as soon as I arrived in Luoyun City, I heard that you went to Jiangxia City. Then I ran to Jiangxia City, and you came to the capital. I've been chasing after you all this way, and I'm exhausted... I won't ask you for this trouble fee, but you have to be understanding and not bother me like this again."
Although she said she wouldn't ask Ye Feng for a reward for his hard work, Hongyu kept blinking, as if she was hinting at something to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng chuckled and pointed to the unconscious Zijing on the ground, saying, "My guard is quite arrogant. She was knocked unconscious by you, and she will definitely ask me for compensation when she wakes up. I won't ask you for this loss."
Hongyu stared in disbelief, then said angrily, "You're really stingy!"
“Likewise,” Night Wind said.
Hongyu finally turned and left, leaping out of the window and soaring into the sky.
Ye Feng stared at Hongyu's back for a long time before finally looking away.
High in the sky.
Hongyu transformed into a magnificent, bright red divine bird.
It is indeed the Vermilion Bird!
With a flap of her wings, Hongyu creates a powerful storm, and when she exhales, she spews out bursts of flame.
"Have you seen that Prince Le of Nanling?" a voice echoed in Hongyu's mind.
Hongyu said irritably, "Of course I saw him! Let me tell you, that guy is so stingy! He made me travel such a long way back and forth, and he wouldn't even give me a little compensation!"
"Is it confirmed? Is he really the Luo family patriarch from seven hundred years ago?" the voice asked again.
“Of course I confirmed it. He answered the code without hesitation, it was indeed him,” Hongyu said.
"Strange, seven hundred years ago the elders all said that the Luo family patriarch was not long for life, so how did he manage to survive and even heal his injuries? The beast he fought against back then was a tenth-grade Great Perfection Crimson-Tailed Beast, Luo Tong should not have survived its attack." The voice rang out again.
"I don't know, let the elders worry about it," Hongyu said.
"Then I wish you a safe journey and a safe return."
Red Maple Pavilion, Study.
After an unknown amount of time, Zijing finally opened her eyes and jumped up from the ground with a somersault.
"Where is that woman? Did she run away?" Zijing shouted.
"Keep your voice down," Night Wind said.
Zijing ran over and shouted, "Old Deng, I was knocked unconscious by that woman while protecting you! You have to give me more money!"
Night Wind said irritably, "What extra money? You already said you're my bodyguard, so protecting me is your job. You haven't even done your job properly, I'm already being lenient by not firing you, and you still want me to pay you more?"
“But I’m injured, shouldn’t there be some compensation?” Zijing said again.
"Where are you injured?" Night Wind asked in return.
