Chapter 370 I Am Li Yihuyn (1)

stion wasn't asked just once, and the answers she received were mostly the same.The young girl asks Xiating, questioning why he continues to serve as her retainer. This question is phrased differently...Chapter 370 - I Am Li Yihun (Part 1)

The two women came to the front of Xianyao, each blocking one side of his path. This move seemed somewhat unusual.

Xianyao didn’t speak; he merely stared at the women and scrutinized them closely in an attempt to deduce their identities from some subtle clues. Though there weren't many hints, he still managed to gather a bit of information.

From the attire and accessories of these two women, it was evident that they belonged to the same faction; despite the differences in style and color of their clothes, there was a consistent symbol on each of them. This mark wasn’t something left by a tailor as a personal stamp.

The position and concealment method of this mark varied, making it hard to spot—it would be unbelievable if someone could identify such a mark so quickly.

Xianyao didn't recognize the symbol because it belonged to an extremely covert faction. Very few people in the world knew about this mark, and members of this faction wouldn’t believe that anyone could notice their markings, even fellow members couldn’t spot them without being told how.

The concealment technique used was highly unique; it wasn’t simply hidden within patterns to mislead the eye. There were more elements involved, and each garment had a different approach to hiding the mark, making it inconsistent.

Under such circumstances, only the maker of these clothes or their designer could normally identify them so quickly. Xianyao managed to spot this in just one glance without prior knowledge—an unbelievable feat that was nonetheless true.

Xianyao explained that spotting the mark wasn't difficult; the embroidery style was unusual and rarely seen on such garments. He had good knowledge of women's needlework as he himself made his own clothes back then.

From this symbol, Xianyao deduced that this faction might be one where even members don’t know each other, hence needing such identifiers to recognize others within the group.

This either implied a large and sprawling organization with too many people to personally recognize everyone or an extremely covert group with few members but full of secrets. Given Xianyao's analysis, it was more likely the latter due to the secretive nature of the markings.

Why would such a secret faction target him He had no ordinary connections with anyone, so why involve himself with this covert organization

All Xianyao could do now was wait for their explanation!

"Who are you" asked the woman in green. Her tone wasn’t polite but rather interrogative and demanding.

Would Xianyao answer

Of course, he would!!

"I am Li Yihun. May I ask what business these two martial ladies have with me" Xianyao replied politely, using his alias.

True, he answered but not necessarily truthfully!

As for whether this would bring trouble to the real Li Yihun, Xianyao didn’t care. He disliked how Li Yihun had acted earlier and felt relieved to cause him some inconvenience, without even needing to act himself.

In addition, it could save him from future troubles, which was an added benefit.

If the real Li Yihun were present, he would be infuriated. Xianyao had already tricked him once and now impersonating him effortlessly made matters worse!

Yes, it was this natural demeanor that irritated him even more!!

"Li Yihun" The green-clad woman looked at Xianyao to gauge if he was lying. She felt his words were honest.

Detecting a lie wasn’t easy for her, let alone an expert.

"Yes. May I inquire as to your honorable name" Xianyao smiled and asked.

“You don't deserve to know my name. Even if you did, it wouldn't be of any use because soon you will die.” The green-clad woman said coldly with a hint of killing intent, indicating that she wasn’t joking around.

"Madam, why is this I have never had any conflict with you and haven’t even met you before. Why would you want me dead" Xianyao was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect the situation to be so serious and couldn’t think of a reason for it.

How long had he been here, behaving discreetly all along without offending anyone It wouldn’t make sense unless he encountered someone particularly petty or malicious.

Why indeed

"You don't need to know that. Just understand that appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time can be fatal." The green-clad woman said indifferently.

"Wrong time, wrong place Can you be more specific After all, since you've already said I'm going to die anyway, can't you let me understand a little better" Xianyao asked. His tone was not the least bit afraid, which made the two women somewhat puzzled.

And Xianyao basically confirmed why he had provoked them; it should be those few words he overheard in the stables that night. Although they hadn't been discovered at the time, in fact, a simple investigation could reveal who was staying overnight in the stables that evening.

Back then, Xianyao left his own name behind. However, many people might doubt it since names can be fake. They made the innkeeper describe what Xianyao and his companion looked like; this wouldn't be fake.

Right now, they have confirmed that there is a person named Xianyao, but they don’t know if he’s called Yue Lexiao or Li Yihun. This would require them to investigate later on.

No matter what, it's unlikely to find anything out about the name "Yue Lexiao," but searching for information on "Li Yihun" might yield some results...

"Since I'm going to die anyway, why bother knowing so much Knowing too much will bring trouble." The green-robed woman said.

"I've already provoked trouble; what does it matter" Xianyao replied nonchalantly.

"Why don't I feel your fear Do you think you can escape" the green-robed woman asked strangely, and the yellow-robed woman who had been silent also seemed puzzled.

"Whether or not I can escape isn’t something to discuss now; it depends on the situation at that time. Talking about this would only start an argument, which is unnecessary. All I know is that you’re hesitating to act and want to ask some questions." Xianyao waved his hand as he asked.

"You are indeed a clever man, then we're not wasting our trip here. Originally, I thought there was no need for this, but perhaps your presence will cause us trouble," the green-robed woman said softly while slowly drawing her sword.

"I won't cause you any trouble; you’re overthinking it. You might as well report back to your boss that I’m a peaceful person who doesn’t cause trouble for anyone. If they don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them either—that’s my principle." Xianyao said.

"What if someone does provoke you" the green-robed woman asked with a smile, clearly meaning she wouldn't let Xianyao off easily, and this question didn't require an answer from him.

"Of course I’ll be courteous. I’m a peaceful person!" Xianyao said.

“…”

The green-robed woman didn’t expect such an answer; in fact, she had never imagined someone would respond this way. Normally, wouldn't one say something like "if they attack me, I’ll retaliate"

Even if not truly so, people usually speak firmly on the surface. Is he too soft or just talking nonsense

A lover of peace Who would believe that!

"Alright, no more idle talk. Tell me about the other person." The green-robed woman asked.

"My boss, coming right up—wait a moment," Xianyao said with a smile, still indifferent.

Why should he care There were only two people in front of him.

"Do you think we’re just two people and that’s why you don’t feel afraid" The green-robed woman smiled at Xianyao, her smile seeming to carry a hint of mockery.

Xianyao understood this mocking tone: she was implying that he shouldn't underestimate them because there were only two of them; they were powerful individuals!

"Yes," Xianyao nodded. He indeed felt fearless partly for this reason.

"That just means ignorance breeds courage." The green-robed woman said with a smile.

“Not necessarily—ignorance isn’t the only cause of fearlessness. I understand what you’re trying to say, but it’s like saying your two forces are both at mid-Emperor rank while I’m just a minor officer-level person. Either one of you can kill me with a finger, right” Xianyao said, smiling back.

After Xianyao spoke, the green-robed woman's smile faded. She looked somewhat surprised at his calmness despite knowing their strength. It seemed either he truly wasn't afraid of them or it didn’t matter to him anymore.

The other thing that shocked her was how Xianyao could see through their true power, as they had never shown any martial prowess before. If a Saint-rank warrior could accurately tell, it wouldn't be surprising, but Xianyao was merely an officer-level small fry.

Why Did he accidentally learn too much or did he have some information on them

If the latter is true, then it implied that the person who appeared in the stables wasn’t just coincidence; they had planned for this to investigate their situation.

However, this seemed impossible since the clues left behind were too many and no one knew beforehand where "she" would go...

Wait a minute—If “she” met with a double agent, then she might know about it because that person had set up the meeting.

"Are you saying you have strength that can’t be subdued by us" The green-robed woman probed carefully, wanting to see if Xianyao was hiding something or had received information on them.st thought that she must have been lucky enough to get there ahead of time.The Lone Star, feeling equally fortunate, thought the same. And when he found out that the Lone Star had passed the exam by d...
