Chapter 1392: Reporting to the Superior
Ye Xiao looked at everyone present and said with a smile, "However, it is indeed a special time now, and most of our people are injured. We can't stay in this small inn for long."
Tang Heng immediately looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, where are we going next?"
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The Su family!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked when Ye Xiao said this.
After all, the Su family is a big family supported by the Linghuo Sect. How is going to the Su family any different from going directly to the Linghuo Sect?
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, I think the Su family is probably in a situation not much different from ours right now," Ye Xiao said.
Tang Heng said, "But the Su family has always been loyal to the Linghuo Sect. There's no guarantee they won't capture us to earn some merit."
"That possibility exists, but I'm sure they won't disappoint me," Ye Xiao smiled slightly and then said, "Everyone pack up and await my command to leave at any time."
After speaking, Ye Xiao returned to his room.
Ye Xiao felt somewhat helpless at the moment, and also a bit bitter about it. He had never thought there would be a day when he would be forced to hide.
Ye Xiao was someone who feared neither heaven nor earth; he would face any person with no fear. But now, he was so different from the past.
It's not just about others; just looking at these brothers who rely on him, Ye Xiao had to be a man who can bend and stretch.
After returning to his room, Ye Xiao took out his phone and found a name from his contacts.
Ouyang Hua!
Looking at the name, Ye Xiao smiled helplessly. It seemed he really had to use the Flame Dragon Team's resources this time.
He dialed the number.
About ten seconds later, the call was connected.
"Ye Xiao, it's not good news if you're calling this early, is it?" Ouyang Hua laughed over the phone.
"Congratulations, you've guessed right," Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ouyang Hua quickly said, "Don't joke around; is it really bad? Then tell me."
"You should know where I am now, right?" Ye Xiao said.
Ouyang Hua chuckled and replied, "From what you're saying, I didn't send anyone to monitor you."
"Well, do you know or not?" Ye Xiao asked.
"I know," Ouyang Hua said, "You're a member of the Flame Dragon Team, and being in the turbulent Northern Territory Martial Arts World, it's hard not to know."
"Since you know, you must also know the issues I am facing now," Ye Xiao said.
Ouyang Hua said, "The state can't just intervene in disputes between martial arts sects or between sects and martial artists."
"If that's the case, you can hang up now," Ye Xiao said.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ouyang Hua immediately said, "You brat, I said the state can't just intervene, but I didn't say I won't help you. You're my man, and if you're in trouble, as the group leader, I'll of course help you."
"Brother Ouyang, can't we throw all those political tactics aside?" Ye Xiao said.
"Okay, what do you want?" Ouyang Hua asked.
Ouyang Hua still highly values Ye Xiao. Besides some hidden connections, for all visible intents and purposes, Ye Xiao has always helped the state in dealing with witches and opposing the Soul Sect.
These are things that the Flame Dragon Team wants to do but has no way to start.
So, it's not an exaggeration to say that Ouyang Hua is always responsive to Ye Xiao's requests.
Ye Xiao said, "The Soul Sect is rampant in Han City, and from what I know, the Linghuo Sect collaborates with the Soul Sect."
"Oh?" Ouyang Hua, who didn't know this, was shocked by Ye Xiao's words and said, "Is this information true?"
"Of course, I have an informant inside the Soul Sect who provided this info," Ye Xiao said.
Ouyang Hua asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Before attacking externally, stabilize internally first!" Ye Xiao said.
"You want to eradicate the Linghuo Sect?" Ouyang Hua asked, "The influence of the Linghuo Sect is bigger than you think."
"I don't care about how big their influence is; I just want to know if you're willing to help," Ye Xiao said.
Hearing this, Ouyang Hua was quite conflicted and hesitated for a whole 30 seconds before saying, "Alright, as long as it's to eliminate the Soul Sect, I'm willing to help!"
Ye Xiao smiled upon hearing Ouyang Hua's agreement. This guy was really too clever, but it didn't matter. As long as Ouyang Hua was willing to help, that was enough.
"I plan to ally with the Su family in Han City," Ye Xiao said.
"The Su family? As far as I know, isn't the Su family a family supported by the Linghuo Sect? Are you sure you want to seek out the Su family?" Ouyang Hua asked.
Ye Xiao said, "I know very well about that, but now, I believe the Su family is willing to turn sides if I want them to."
Ouyang Hua had some general understanding of Han City, but not the details. He just told Ye Xiao, "Don't go too far. If you do, even I won't be able to handle it."
"Understood."
Ouyang Hua then smiled and said, "By the way, about the incident in Bird City last time, those at the top haven't commented on your actions, but they didn't pursue it further either. It seems they've tacitly accepted it. Still, be more cautious in the future."
"Alright, Group Leader Ouyang, have you had breakfast?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Not yet, why?"
"I mean, if you haven't, just go eat," Ye Xiao said.
Hearing this from Ye Xiao, Ouyang Hua realized he intended to hang up and immediately got irritated, shouting over the phone, "You asshole, now that you're done, you think I'm useless, don't you? Damn it..."
But not a word of Ouyang Hua's was heard by Ye Xiao.
Because before Ouyang Hua even started speaking, Ye Xiao had already hung up the phone.
Seeing no response after talking for a while, Ouyang Hua looked at his phone screen, only to realize the call had been disconnected.
"Damn, this guy..."
Back to the other matter!
After hanging up on Ouyang Hua, Ye Xiao felt much happier inside.
Ye Xiao increasingly realized that being a member of the Flame Dragon Team was really important. At many times, it could turn the impossible into possible, and the reason he called Ouyang Hua and said some seemingly irrelevant things was actually a subordinate asking a superior for instructions.
In fact, Ouyang Hua truly responds affirmatively to Ye Xiao's requests.
Having greeted Ouyang Hua, Ye Xiao could naturally proceed with his plans without holding back. As for the consequences, Ye Xiao believed that his superior Ouyang Hua would certainly help handle them.
Ye Xiao realized that, from Ouyang Hua's perspective, he wasn't a very good subordinate.
