Chapter 65: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
The previously noisy atmosphere instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Xie Qingui's eyes widened in astonishment. A delicate leaf could actually pierce a wooden table like a knife?!
This Lord Dongfang's strength... is indeed not to be underestimated!
The young mercenary was startled and looked over shakily. He saw the little man in front of him raise his head slightly, and only one cold eye was visible under the brim of his hat.
"I'm sorry!" The young mercenary quickly completed the formalities, then held up a token with both hands, handing it over with a mixture of fear and respect: "Please keep your mercenary token, sir!"
Ye Fei took the token and casually glanced at the mercenary missions hanging on the wall. Mercenary missions were divided into three levels: low, medium, and high. The higher the level, the greater the difficulty of the mission, but the greater the reward.
"Any more high-level missions?" Ye Fei asked calmly.
"Yes, yes!" The young mercenary took out a mission list and introduced it to Ye Fei: "Today we have a high-level mission: to go to the Forest of Fireflies and pick three Ice Crystal Fruits. The reward is 100,000 gold coins..."
"It just so happens that I'm in the Forest of Fireflies. This mission is absolutely necessary..." Ye Fei thought to herself.
Seeing that Ye Fei remained silent, the young mercenary tentatively asked, "Sir, do you think this mission is too difficult?"
Ye Fei glanced at the young mercenary: "Accept."
The young mercenary hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, sir! But this mission is timed. If we fail to submit the mission within fifteen days, it will be considered a failure, and even if we get the Ice Crystal Fruit, we won't be able to collect the reward..."
Before Ye Fei could reply, a male voice came from behind: "We also accept this mission. Would you like to join our team?"
That sound...
Ye Fei turned around and saw a boy in a blue and white battle robe. Behind him stood another boy in a light purple battle robe, holding a spirit staff. He looked Ye Fei up and down with a disdainful gaze.
Oh, it's someone I know! Aren't they Ye Minghui, the eldest son of the Ye family, and Ye Tong, the second daughter, whom I clashed with during the family trials?
Ye Fei glanced silently at the spirit staff in Ye Fei's hand. It seemed to be different from the spirit staff in the last family trial. It looked like she had changed to a new one.
Ah, the Ye family is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful.
"I am Ye Minghui, and this is my younger sister, Ye Tong. We both come from the Ye family." Ye Minghui bowed to Ye Fei, his tone full of respect for a powerful figure: "High-level missions are usually carried out in teams. If it is convenient for you, please come with us. The reward will be split 70/30, you get 70%, and we get 30%, how about that?"
The mercenaries watching the spectacle all became solemn and respectful upon hearing the name of the Ye family.
Ye Fei sneered inwardly. If Ye Minghui knew that he held such high esteem for the former good-for-nothing of the Ye family, he wondered what kind of expression he would have.
Ye Fei waved her hand dismissively: "I refuse."
Ye Minghui was taken aback, thinking he had misheard: "Your Excellency, are you serious? The Forest of Fireflies is the largest forest in Lingyun Kingdom. Although it is a blessed land, it is also fraught with danger. If you insist on traveling alone, I'm afraid..."
"Who said I was traveling alone?" Ye Fei raised her finger and gestured towards Li Yuan and Xie Qingui behind her.
Ye Minghui looked in the direction she was gesturing, and when he saw Xie Qin Gui, his expression turned to surprise: "So it's Young Master Xie!"
Xie Qingui wasn't familiar with Ye Minghui, but he still politely bowed and said, "Young Master Ye."
"So you already had a team. It seems we're a bit late." Ye Minghui smiled helplessly.
Ye Fei was very unhappy.
She was the one who initially accepted the task, but Ye Minghui and Ye Tong suddenly appeared and tried to take it from her, even demanding a 70/30 split of the reward...
Forget about 70/30, she can't even divide it into 90/10!
