Seeing the woman asking about his identity.

At this moment, Wang Ye was also not inclined to speak directly.

After all, some things needed to be kept secret.

"I’m very sorry."

Wang Ye shook his head slightly.

Just then, another guest walked in from outside.

Yun Huiru naturally recognized this guest; he was the son of Alliance Leader Zuo, Zhao Daoran—Zhao Guotian.

"Seeing the arrival of the Leader, Yun Huiru, aren’t you coming out to greet me?"

Zhao Guotian raised his head high, his hands on his hips, his expression extremely arrogant.

He already knew that his father would participate in the election for the Alliance Hierarch this time.

Originally, Zhao Daoran was the Alliance Leader Zuo and naturally knew the ten mysterious individuals.

Getting support from these people wasn’t very difficult for Zhao Daoran.

Moreover, with his father’s identity as Alliance Leader Zuo, Zhao Guotian was already firmly convinced in his heart that his father would surely become the Alliance Hierarch.

When his father passed away, the position of Alliance Hierarch would naturally fall into his hands.

So at this moment, Zhao Guotian directly referred to himself as the Alliance Hierarch.

"Hehe."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yun Huiru’s eyes.

This Zhao Guotian was living off his father’s status, freeloading in Blackwater City.

Everyone who saw him had to curry favor with him.

After all, offending him was equivalent to offending Zhao Daoran.

As a person in Blackwater City, one couldn’t afford to offend Zhao Daoran.

Immediately, she apologized to Wang Ye.

"Honorable guest, I’m really sorry, I need to go entertain Young Master Zhao, please take the Blue Whale mount away."

With those words, she gracefully walked towards Zhao Guotian, smiling all the while.

As a member of the Blackwater Alliance, Wang Ye naturally knew Zhao Daoran and was somewhat familiar with Zhao Guotian’s reputation.

Rumor had it that he was extremely avaricious.

If you gave him Spirit Jade, he’d even do something as drastic as kill his own father.

"Let’s go."

Xia Yurou whispered, holding Wang Ye’s arm.

At this moment, she didn’t want to cause trouble for Wang Ye, especially because Zhao Guotian was someone not to be trifled with at present.

Given her beauty, she might stir his interest, potentially causing conflict.

It was rumored that no woman Zhao Guotian set his eyes on could escape his grasp.

After all, the current Blackwater Alliance was under his father’s control.

But Wang Ye stood still, not moving.

"Let’s watch."

He wanted to see how Yun Huiru, such a clever woman, would handle Zhao Guotian.

Yun Huiru, with an incredibly graceful stride, approached Zhao Guotian, her face adorned with a smile.

"What kind of wind has brought you such a hierarch here? My humble courtyard can’t accommodate your precious body."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guotian became even more arrogant.

He walked in big strides towards the most luxurious Azure Dragon mount.

"Today, I’m buying this mount, and regarding the Spirit Jade, I’ll just have my father reduce your protection fee later."

"This?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Huiru felt very displeased.

The Azure Dragon mount was worth at least a few million.

The cost was millions of Spirit Jade!

If she gave the Azure Dragon mount to him, it would be a great loss indeed.

Zhao Guotian saw Yun Huiru’s troubled expression and immediately showed dissatisfaction.

"What, you don’t want to? I bet you don’t want to do business in the Blackwater Alliance anymore."

His tone was full of threat.

But Yun Huiru, upon hearing this, merely smiled faintly, as she had some connections with Zhao Daoran.

Moreover, she had strong backing enabling her to establish herself in Blackwater City.

Yun Huiru deliberately kept a low profile, never revealing her powerful backing.

Besides, the new Blackwater Alliance Hierarch conference was starting tomorrow.

The future Alliance Hierarch was still unknown!

After all, the Blackwater Secret Realm was filled with high-level individuals, and Zhao Daoran might find it challenging to hold sway alone.

Qin Tianba maintained the position of alliance leader comfortably for a thousand years because he was smart.

He never provoked those who couldn’t be offended.

Thus, those formidable individuals turned a blind eye, not causing trouble.

"Zhao Guotian, since you’ve said it this far, I’ll be candid: Zhao Daoran cannot become the Alliance Hierarch."

A few days ago.

Yun Huiru had sought out a mysterious elderly man.

The old man was skilled at divination.

He foresaw the next Alliance Hierarch, whose surname was not Zhao.

Moreover, the future Hierarch would be a wise person.

Yun Huiru, doing legitimate business in Blackwater City, believed that the future wise Alliance Hierarch wouldn’t trouble her.

Zhao Guotian was furious upon hearing this, his nostrils flaring and eyes glaring.

He felt ominous, fearing that his father might indeed fail to become the Alliance Hierarch.

If that were the case, his future in Blackwater City would be challenging.

Yet he wouldn’t reveal these thoughts.

"Yun Huiru, just you wait, I’ll have my father tear down your place!"

With that, he angrily prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Ye strode over quickly, intercepting Zhao Guotian.

"How about I buy the Azure Dragon mount for you?"

"Boss, how much Spirit Jade does this Azure Dragon mount require?"

Wang Ye then inquired.

In Wang Ye’s view, establishing himself in the Blackwater Alliance meant the more friends, the better.

Zhao Guotian was delighted but remained suspicious.

"You’re buying me a mount?"

Zhao Guotian was surprised.

As someone who freeloaded in the Blackwater Alliance, Zhao Guotian was despised by many.

But today, the person before him voluntarily offered to buy him a mount.

There must be a hidden agenda?

Yet, any scheme didn’t concern Zhao Guotian much.

Even if deceived, obtaining that Azure Dragon mount was worthwhile.

"Yes."

Wang Ye nodded calmly.

Then Zhao Guotian said.

"Fine, if you buy me the mount, I’ll remember it, you’ll be my brother henceforth."

His words were sincere.

To him, nothing was more important than Spirit Jade.

This person was willing to spend millions on a mount, which felt closer than a real father.

Wang Ye smiled indifferently.

He showed no disdain toward Zhao Guotian.

However, Yun Huiru stood beside him, raising her lips slightly, feeling Wang Ye was undervalued.

Knowing that the Azure Dragon mount was worth over six million Superior Cold Jade.

"Honorable guest, this.."

Seeing Wang Ye’s steadfast expression, Yun Huiru nodded.

"The cost is three million High-quality Spirit Jade, the lowest was four million, but I’ll offer it at cost for your sake."

Although she said so.

Through her earlier dealings with Wang Ye, she knew he wouldn’t treat her unfairly.

Wang Ye handed over a ring.

"Here are four hundred White Crystal Cold Jade."

Yun Huiru took the ring, counted, and indeed found four hundred White Crystal Cold Jade.

Her eyes grew even brighter.

Who exactly was this man before her, with so many White Crystal Cold Jade?

It was hard to discern his identity from Wang Ye, hence Yun Huiru shifted her gaze to Xia Yurou.
