Chapter 132 - Enemies Often Cross Each Other's Paths

After dispersing the onlooking crowd, Brother Hu ordered his men to quickly restore Mao Kangping’s shop to its original state; he didn’t want any more incidents to occur halfway through.This time, not only did Ye Chenfeng come to help Mao Kangping retrieve his shop, but he also needed to purchase five types of herbs that were used in concocting a medicinal solution with the Yun Teng Mushroom.

He immediately told Mao Kangping the names of the five herbs and asked him to buy them.

He wasn’t very familiar with the market environment here, and moreover, these five herbs were quite common.

For the medicine that increased Soul Force, the most important ingredient was the Yun Teng Mushroom; the other five herbs played a supporting role.

Mao Kangping was, of course, more than willing to run this errand for Ye Chenfeng.

His shop had all five herbs for sale, but ever since Brother Hu took over his shop, all the herbs had been disposed of by Brother Hu.

So, he had to go to the neighboring herbal shops to be able to buy them.

Brother Hu enthusiastically brought over a chair for Ye Chenfeng to sit on.

He now dared not be the slightest bit negligent towards Ye Chenfeng, this young King of Hell.

Brother Hu’s capable henchman, Ersha, was feeling very uneasy inside.

After all, he had been disrespectful towards Ye Chenfeng not long ago.

He quickly went to the back room of the shop to brew a cup of tea for Ye Chenfeng.

But before he could even walk over to Ye Chenfeng, Brother Hu intercepted him and snatched the cup of tea from Ersha’s hand, barking, “You go chill out over there and stay out of my sight.”

The instant he turned around, Brother Hu’s face was immediately filled with smiles, and he scurried over to Ye Chenfeng, fawningly saying, “Mr.

Ye, please have some tea.

I personally made it for you just now; it’s still hot!

Be careful not to burn your mouth.”

Standing at the side, Ersha, who was already feeling wronged, almost vomited his dinner from the previous night upon hearing his boss’s disgusting words, cursing “shameless” inwardly.

One does not slap a smiling face, and Ye Chenfeng nodded, taking the tea cup offered by Brother Hu.

He took a light sip and said, “From now on, you just need to ensure Mao Kangping’s safety at the border trade market.

As for what happened before, I can let bygones be bygones.”

“Thank you, Mr.

Ye, thank you,” said an excited Brother Hu, nodding his head vigorously, almost ready to kneel and kowtow to Ye Chenfeng, which was nothing like the behavior of a boss!

Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for drastic changes.

Good people are hard to come by in this border trade market.

Just do as I’ve instructed you just now.”

Without hesitation, Brother Hu thumped his chest and promised, “Mr.

Ye, you can rest assured, from now on, I, Little Hu, will take full responsibility for Mao Kangping’s safety in the border trade market.”

As Ye Chenfeng and Brother Hu were talking, Mao Kangping walked up with two big bags of herbs, respectfully saying, “Mr.

Ye, these are the herbs you requested.”

Ye Chenfeng opened the bags and gave them a quick look; all five herbs he needed were there, not one missing.

He then said, “Alright, now that everything that needed to be done is taken care of, it’s time for me to leave.” Ye Chenfeng was anxious to return to the Primeval Forest to improve his strength!

Upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng was leaving, Mao Kangping quickly tried to persuade him to stay, “Mr.

Ye, won’t you stay here a few more days?

I haven’t had the chance to properly thank you yet!”

Carefully, Brother Hu said, “Mr.

Ye, Big Brother Mao is right!

Why don’t I take you to the auction house here later?

Today’s highlight is an auction of a stunning beauty that will make nations fall!

I heard that many rich people from around the country have come over!

It won’t be too late if you wait until tomorrow to leave, right?” Googlᴇ search ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

Ye Chenfeng was not interested in beauties or the like, and he declined, “No, you guys go enjoy.”

Mao Kangping went on to say, “Mr.

Ye, it might be good for you to take a look at the auction house.

They auction off some nice items every now and then.

Who knows, there might be something that catches your eye.

After all, it’s just a delay of one day’s time.”

After pondering for a while and checking the time, Ye Chenfeng thought that leaving tomorrow was not out of the question.

Who knows, he might actually find something he needed at the auction house!

So, he casually said, “Alright!

Then I’ll wait until tomorrow to leave.”

The auction house at the border trading market was called Yishun Auction House, and they held a grand auction every month.

Many items that were not usually seen would appear there, even rare beauties, and today was the day of the monthly auction.

This time, the highlight of Yishun Auction House was an extraordinary beauty, and it was said that she was still a maiden!

When Brother Hu and Mao Kangping brought Ye Chenfeng to Yishun Auction House, the entrance was already packed with people.

Of course, not just anyone could easily walk in here.

Brother Hu squeezed into the crowd and after saying a few words to the guards at the entrance of Yishun Auction House, the guard nodded with a smile.

Then, Brother Hu ran over to Ye Chenfeng and said, “Alright, Mr.

Ye, we can go in now.”

“Didn’t expect that you had such clout around here!” Ye Chenfeng teased.

Brother Hu quickly said he dared not claim so, he just happened to know some people inside Yishun Auction House.

Using a backdoor like this was something he could manage.

After entering Yishun Auction House, they were greeted by an extremely large hall with rows of chairs set up for guests, and at the very front of the hall, there was a platform made of wood, which was evidently where the auction would take place.

At that moment, many of the chairs were already occupied by people waiting for the auction to officially start.

“Mr.

Ye, let’s go upstairs!

I have already reserved a private room for you just now,” Brother Hu said ingratiatingly from the side.

Ye Chenfeng looked up and indeed there was a second floor.

The building’s architecture was designed in an ancient style.

The arrangement of rooms on the second floor formed a semi-circle, and each room had no door, allowing occupants a clear view of the auction happening below in the main hall.

Only those who could afford it or had some status could own a private room on the second floor.

Clearly, Brother Hu had secured a private room on the second floor by spending money and through his connections, all to please Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t refuse and followed Brother Hu upstairs.

Since the rooms were all open, as Ye Chenfeng passed by one of them, he saw a familiar face inside the room—the eldest young master of the Songs, Song Zhong.

Life really is full of unexpected encounters!

Isn’t this just proving the saying “It’s a small world for enemies”?

The last time in Capital City, Ye Chenfeng didn’t make a move against Song Zhong because he had just transmigrated in spirit and didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble.

But now, it was different.

In this border trading market, a place mixed with all kinds of people, killing Song Zhong would be as easy as playing a game!

However, now was not the right time to act.

A dark and windy night would provide the perfect opportunity for taking a life.
