CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 0471: BEI YINYAO’S CONCERT

Huang Zhou gently nodded, "Makes sense!"

Bei Yinyao asked curiously, "Who is this Ye Jiujie? ’Seven Kills’ sounds impressive, are they really afraid of him?"

Sister Mei laughed, "Miss, Ye Jiujie is truly a terrifying figure, suppressing all of Huaxia’s young martial arts prodigies single-handedly. It is said that he is barely twenty years old yet ranks first on the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List, known as the unparalleled youth."

"Lei Ye works under him, and he is also the boss behind the scenes of the Nine Tribulations Company!"

"So powerful?" After hearing Sister Mei’s words, Bei Yinyao’s pretty face was filled with astonishment. She could hardly imagine a youth reaching such a frightening level, even an assassin organization would avoid him, and she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of admiration.

Noticing the surprise and admiration in Bei Yinyao’s eyes, Huang Zhou felt a strong surge of jealousy. Rumor had it that Ye Jiujie was even younger than him, yet he had already ascended to the peak of Huaxia.

In contrast, he was already twenty-two yet still stuck at the Primary War General level, leaving him frustrated.

Upon hearing of the disturbance, Lei Ye rushed over with his men, arranging for a group of experts to escort Bei Yinyao and others away, thus concluding the farce of the day.

"Why didn’t you take action just now?"

Bai Wan’er walked alongside Ye Qingfeng, while An Ruoqing had wisely hailed a cab and left earlier.

"Take action?" Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, "Since someone already did, why bother to go through the motions?"

Bai Wan’er smiled faintly, "Our great Ye master actually gave up such a perfect chance for a heroic rescue of a beauty. Rescuing Bei Yinyao, that’s something many men can’t even dream of!"

"Rescue her?" Ye Qingfeng replied ambiguously, "I’ve already saved her, and not just once!"

"More than once?"

Bai Wan’er was a bit confused by Ye Qingfeng’s words.

Ye Qingfeng did not elaborate, he simply said.

"Come on, I’ll take you back. It’s not going to be peaceful in Jiangbei lately!"

Bai Wan’er was curious but didn’t ask any more questions, quietly enjoying the moment; it was her first time walking alone at night with Ye Qingfeng.

In a secret room somewhere in Jiangbei, the gaunt old man’s mouth was bleeding, looking in horror at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man showed no mercy to the gaunt old man, backhanding him with a heavy slap across the face.

The gaunt old man dared not move rashly, he could only allow the middle-aged man to strike him.

"Sect Leader, please spare Old Man Hei!"

Someone beside stepped forward with cupped fists, pleading.

Several others, just as formidable, also kneeled down to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man finally stopped, snorting coldly, "If it weren’t for the fact that Old Man Hei had followed this sect for many years and completed many tasks, I would have killed you outright today."

The middle-aged man was none other than Mu Tanlang, the Sect Leader of Seven Killings Sect. The people in front of him were the core members of Seven Killings Sect, every one a top assassin with countless kills.

"I said earlier, wait until Bei Yinyao’s concert is over and the cooperation with Nine Tribulations is terminated, then we act. But you acted on your own tonight, disregarding my words?"

He roared angrily, and everyone fell silent, trembling.

Old Man Hei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking with difficulty, "Sect Leader, I did not obey your orders, but I don’t understand, why wait until the concert ends? Now is our best chance to act!"

"Foolish!" Mu Tanlang smashed the sandalwood table beside him into pieces with a palm strike, speaking in a deep voice, "Standing behind Nine Tribulations Company is Ye Jiujie. If you kill Bei Yinyao before then, it would be a provocation to Nine Tribulations Company. If Ye Jiujie takes action, our entire Seven Kills will be buried with him!"

With Mu Tanlang’s words, Old Man Hei looked shocked, and the others were also dumbfounded, a sense of suffocation enveloping them.

Ye Jiujie!

Those three short words weighed on everyone’s heart like a massive mountain, leaving no room for dissent.

Provoking Ye Jiujie was tantamount to seeking death. Though Seven Killings Sect was a top assassin sect in the country, going against the first on the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List was like striking a stone with an egg.

Even powerful families like the Seven Great Families bowed down under Ye Jiujie’s might, and even Long Yuntian was cut to nothing by Ye Jiujie at West Lake. This is the number one prodigious killing star, whom Seven Killings Sect could not afford to provoke.

"We came to Jiangbei this time to take Bei Yinyao’s life, to let Bei Changlin experience the pain of losing a daughter. But we don’t need to offend Ye Jiujie for that."

Mu Tanlang’s face was gloomy, as his only son, Mu Tie, had taken on a task without his knowledge, only to fail and be shot by Bei Yinyao’s father, Bei Changlin.

Bei Yinyao’s previous performances were all within Bei Changlin’s territory, with many experts around, making it hard for Seven Kills to act and avenge, but this time Bei Yinyao had traveled far to Jiangbei, away from Bei Changlin’s control, and they saw the opportunity had come.

This time Seven Killings had come out in full force, determined to succeed.

"By the way, Sect Leader, I heard that Huang Zhan Yuan has been invited by Bei Changlin and is on his way. If we wait until after the concert to act, we might have to face him!"

One of the core members of Seven Killings Sect spoke in a deep voice.

"Hmph, Huang Zhan Yuan?" Mu Tanlang sneered, "What can he do? When the time comes, I’ll make him disappear along with the rest!"

The others all had focused gazes, filled with doubt.

Mu Tanlang was at the Peak of War General, and so was Huang Zhan Yuan, which meant they were evenly matched. But from Mu Tanlang’s tone, it seemed there was no need to fear Huang Zhan Yuan.

Two days passed quickly, and now the Jiangbei Sports Venue was bustling, filled with a sea of people.

Many fans raised glow sticks with Bei Yinyao’s name on them, extremely excited, as large crowds poured into the venue, all there for Bei Yinyao.

"Wow, what a lively scene!"

A group of handsome men and beautiful women appeared outside the venue, almost all of them acquaintances of Ye Qingfeng.

Bai Wan’er and An Ruoqing held hands happily but stayed close to Ye Qingfeng, while on Ye Qingfeng’s other side was Mu Xianxian, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Dou Bao and Wu Min took the lead, commenting on the crowd.

The charity event performance this time was hosted by the Nine Tribulations Company, and Lei Ye directly gave Ye Qingfeng ten VIP tickets. Ye Qingfeng wasn’t very interested, so he gave the tickets to Bai Wan’er and An Ruoqing, resulting in such a large group coming along, and even he couldn’t resist Bai Wan’er’s soft coaxing, so he came along.

The group entered the VIP seats through a special passage, this being the best spot in the entire venue, right in the front row, very close to the stage, meaning they could see Bei Yinyao’s performance up close.

"The boss is really impressive, it’s my first time sitting so close watching a performance. I used to be in the back rows, always unable to get good seats!"

Dou Bao couldn’t help but flatter Ye Qingfeng.

In his heart, Ye Qingfeng was almost omnipotent, and he had already accepted him as his boss.

The scene where Jiangbei Three Young Masters were scared to kneel by him still lingered in his mind.

Ye Qingfeng didn’t mind.
