Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 401: The Treasure of the First Cave, I Want...

Soon, Ye Qifei arrived at Lanxingtan.

The three of them sat down in the courtyard, and Ye Qifei also explained the reason for this visit.

"A few months ago, news came from the East Sea that Senior Lu Yanhe from the Nine Heavens was replaced by Imam, the Dark Star Elder of the Zoroastrianism. Young Master Lu knows about this, right?"

Among the three people present, Zhao Hanya is a member of Jiutian, Ye Qifei is the granddaughter of Liu Fenggu, and Lu Ping knows all about Jiutian, so Ye Qifei did not hide anything when she spoke.

It turns out this is what happened...

Lu Ping nodded: "Yes, I was the one who told Fang Qian and Li Fu about this."

"After receiving the news, my grandfather contacted the two seniors, Sword Saint and Zhou Mo, and launched an investigation into the accounts related to the four major business paths controlled by Lu Yanhe."

Ye Qifei continued, "I was also asked to help because I have many years of experience in handling Cangjian Villa's business."

"After two months of investigation, we finally found a suspicious trade route in the Western Regions, and we guessed that Lu Yanhe was most likely imprisoned in the Western Regions."

"After that, my grandfather and Senior Sword Saint set off for the Western Regions."

Calculating the time, this incident should have happened around the time of the 'Battle of Cloud Peak'.

"But after entering the Western Region, we lost contact with the two of them."

"Within a month, all the communication points established by Tyrant Blade Villa in the Western Region were destroyed one after another."

Isn't this the prelude to 'Dust in the Desert'?

Lu Ping suddenly remembered how Ye Qifei was busy coming and going all day when he lived in Cangjian Villa, and suddenly said, "So you were busy with this during that time..."

"But not long ago, I received a message from my grandfather, which said that the situation in the Western Region had changed and he wanted me to go there to help. And the matter must be kept secret..."

Having said that, Ye Qifei looked at Lu Ping with sharp eyes.

Lu Ping also completely understood the other party's intention today: they were trying to pull him over to pour sand...

"You're worried that you won't be strong enough to fight, so you want to drag me down with you, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Ye Qifei didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed by having her thoughts exposed. Instead, she smiled cheerfully: "Don't say such harsh words! We are friends, aren't we?"

"The matter of 'Jiutian' is extraordinary, but you know everything, so there is no risk of being exposed if I ask you for help. Moreover, you are strong, have many means, are smart and handsome, and have a sense of justice..."

"Stop it! Stop praising me!"

Lu Ping quickly stopped him: "The more you say this, the more I feel this action is extremely dangerous!"

When they were in the East China Sea, the Imam's identity was exposed, but Fang Qian and others failed to catch him, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Afterwards, the Imam and the Assassins of the Red Sect colluded openly and stayed in the Western Regions, so the current situation in the Western Regions is definitely more difficult than in the original timeline.

Ye Qifei already had an idea: "Didn't you say before that you can tell fortunes?"

"If you can figure out where Lu Yanhe is, after we meet up with my grandfather and Senior Sword Saint, maybe we can bypass the Imam's sight and go directly to rescue Lu Yanhe?"

"In this way, the risk of our actions can be greatly reduced!"

This... seems to make some sense.

In the game, Lu Yanhe was imprisoned on Lenglong Peak for decades.

It is surrounded by poisonous forests and in the middle are towering snow-capped mountains. The geographical environment is very dangerous and it is a natural place for imprisonment.

Even if the Imam's identity is exposed, he should not move Lu Yanhe's place of imprisonment at will.

Then with the strength of himself, Sword Saint, Liu Fenggu, Ye Qifei and others, it is completely feasible to go directly to Lenglong Peak and rescue the people!
only……

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds: "You can ask me to help, but..."

Seeing him like this, Ye Qifei was slightly stunned and felt a little surprised.

Having assisted in the management of Cangjian Villa for many years and seen all kinds of people and things in the business world, she knew too well what having such an expression meant.

This is a malicious calculation.

It’s just that Ye Qifei and Lu Ping have known each other for a while, but this is the first time she has seen him show this kind of expression.

In her opinion, Lu Ping has profound martial arts skills, does not care about wealth, fame, or sex, and has no ambitions. He is so idle that he does not look like a man of the world. Instead, he has some of the image of a hermit in the mountains like the legendary Lu Zu. Now, it feels like the perfect filter has been broken.

Fortunately, I feel more like a person...

"I didn't expect you to show such an expression?"

Ye Qifei raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes teasing: "Tell me, what benefit do you want? There are not many things in this world that I can't buy at Cangjian Villa!"

"Yo yo yo……"

"Young lady, don't be so confident!"

Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and laughed, "I heard that Lu Yanhe holds the "treasure" represented by the Nine Heavens Treasure House..."

"Ah this... this..."

Ye Qifei kept saying this for a long time but still couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Seeing her panic, Lu Ping felt very proud and laughed: "It's not too much to repay your life-saving grace with gratitude, right?"

"I know that there are four portions of treasure in the First Cave, one of which has been used up, and now there are only three portions left."

"So I don't ask for much, just one third."

The eldest lady of Cangjian Villa, who has always been well-mannered and well-educated, suddenly widened her eyes and almost uttered foul language.

In fact, Ye Qifei had never heard of the term "First Cave" before, but she did not doubt the authenticity of Lu Ping's information.

After all, from the current point of view, Lu Ping knows much more about the "Jiutian" organization than himself.

"You should know that I cannot agree to this on behalf of the members of Jiu Tian..."

"But why did you suddenly set your sights on the Nine Heavens Treasury?!"

Ye Qifei's intuition told her that Lu Ping was not really saying these words for the treasure.

After all, if he really wanted the Nine Heavens Treasure House, he would not say it so generously. He would only use other people to his advantage, secretly send people to steal the treasure, and then leave.

Lu Ping shook his head: "I have no intention of taking the Nine Heavens Treasure House. I just want to collect the fee for helping me."

"Haven't you heard of the story of 'Zi Gong redeeming someone'?"

"People who do good things should be rewarded, so that people will continue to do good things in the future!"

In this world, without the help of gamers, many things would not go smoothly.

Moreover, the rescue operation was carried out several years in advance. With Ye Qifei's current strength, he might not be able to protect himself if he went to the Western Regions.

"Given Lu Yanhe's status and the wealth he has, as well as my contribution to this matter, it's reasonable for me to take one third of the treasure."

"Think about it, if I hadn't provided the information, Jiutian still wouldn't know about Lu Yanhe. Then, would the entire Ichiku have fallen into the hands of Imam?"

"When the enemy gains and we lose, that's the economic gap between the two treasures!"

"Now Jiu Tian only needs to sacrifice one third, and they can still afford two thirds. The enemy has nothing left. Isn't this much stronger than before?"

Ye Qifei rolled her eyes.

"Don't try to fool me. I'm a professional businessman. How can I be fooled by your rhetoric?"

"If the Imam could use the treasures in the First Cave, why would he keep Lu Yanhe around, or even collude with the Assassins to covet the Han King's treasure in the East Sea?"

"So no matter whether Lu Yanhe's incident will be exposed or not, Imam will not be able to get the treasure. At most, he will lose the treasure for nine days. There will be no 'economic gap between the two treasures' at all."

You are quite good at calculating!

"...Then I'll change it to two-thirds of the treasure. That should be rigorous enough, right?"

After Lu Ping finished speaking, he smiled and turned to look at Zhao Hanya, who had been sitting next to him and listening to their conversation from beginning to end but remained silent.

"There are three of us here, and you are the only member of Jiutian. What do you think?"

Zhao Hanya's answer was simple: "I believe Young Master Lu has his own considerations."

Trust me so much?
