Chapter 321: Scammers Will Not Pay with Their Lives
Ye Fei stared expressionlessly at the group of white-robed men before her, a fleeting hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
Seeing that Ye Fei was still cautiously protecting the person behind her, the white-robed man hesitated to speak. One of his underlings leaned over and whispered, "They're just a bunch of juniors. Finding the artifact is more important."
Unfortunately, Ye Fei overheard these words—a divine artifact?
Upon hearing this, the white-robed man at the head coughed and immediately said seriously, "Young lady, I see there is an empty spot behind you. Could we stay the night?"
Ye Fei was very unwilling. She was the one who discovered the empty space first, and even if her team didn't need it, she didn't want to let the Holy Church people stay there.
But if she appears too hostile towards the Holy Church, the Holy Church might become suspicious...
Thinking of this, Ye Fei smiled and said, "It's fine to stay here, but you'll have to pay a fee."
The man in white was taken aback: "A lodging fee?"
"This is all unclaimed land, but everyone should still follow the rule of first come, first served." Ye Fei's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was calm. "You can stay here if you want, but I won't let you stay for nothing."
"Alright, I can pay you for lodging." The man in white was quite direct: "Young lady, how much do you want?"
“One thousand gold coins.” Ye Fei raised a finger, a sly glint in her dark eyes. She then changed the subject, adding, “One person.”
"How could you be so greedy, you little girl!"
The henchman behind the white-robed man was almost about to burst out cursing: "We could find an inn in town and stay there for the night for less than your lodging fee! Don't go too far!"
Ye Fei slowly gave an "oh" and elegantly adjusted her sleeves: "If you think it's too expensive, then please turn back and find an inn in town to stay in."
"That brat..."
Amidst the cursing and swearing, the white-robed leader raised his hand, signaling his underlings to calm down. He then took out a money pouch from his storage ring and handed it to Ye Fei: "Little girl, there are six of us in total. Here is six thousand gold coins. Please keep it safe."
Ye Fei smiled as she accepted the money pouch, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "You're so straightforward, sir."
After saying that, she gave the underling behind him a "learn from me" look, which made the underling grit his teeth in anger.
The teammates remained silent, but in their hearts they all admired Ye Fei to the point of worship—she had collected another six thousand gold coins in just a few words; Ye Fei was truly shrewd!
The Holy Church members quickly went to the cleared area, set up a fire, and sat down. The Night Scarlet Squad and the Holy Church maintained a very unfamiliar yet safe distance.
Apart from Yu Muhan, Yun Fusang, and Huang Rongyu, who went to Luanyunjian with Ye Fei last time to participate in the mercenary mission, and Li Yuan, Xie Qingui and Mu Jingshen were unaware of the grudges between Ye Fei and the Holy Sect.
But judging from Ye Fei's indifferent expression, the resentment definitely outweighed the gratitude... Xie Qingui and Mu Jingshen exchanged a glance and wisely refrained from asking about it.
Tonight, Ye Fei and Xie Qin Gui will keep watch together. Ye Fei will be on duty for the first half of the night, and Xie Qin Gui will be on duty for the second half.
The group of people from the Holy Order seemed to be discussing something, their expressions solemn, but Ye Fei could guess that they were talking about that "divine artifact".
"Xiao Fei, are you also interested in that divine artifact that the Holy Church mentioned?" Xie Qingui asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Ye Fei blinked: "Huh? You heard that too?"
