Ten minutes later.
Just as everyone was curious about how things would develop, Ye Ming and Leite finally appeared in everyone's sight.
However, when they saw that both of them were smiling and chatting happily, they felt their heads buzzing for a moment.
But what made them even more bewildered was yet to come.
"Brother Ye! Why didn't you just state your intentions earlier? Why did you have to come in person? Really, you caused such an unnecessary misunderstanding!"
Leite said, his rough voice completely undisguised and somewhat excited.
Brother Ye!
"???"
Without exception, everyone who heard this address felt a wave of dizziness and their minds went blank.
How could they become sworn brothers after only a few minutes apart?
Furthermore, considering their ages, it didn't seem appropriate.
The one who was most affected was, naturally, Leite's disciple, Yue Ling.
He quickly stepped forward and pointed directly at Ye Ming, shouting angrily, "Master! Please don't be fooled by that kid's nonsense. He must be lying..."
"Insolent!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was reprimanded by Leite. With a stomp of his foot, an extremely powerful force sent Yue Ling flying.
"Ah!"
Yue Ling was still in mid-air when blood spurted from his mouth.
It was evident that Leite had been truly angered this time.
At the same time, Leite's heart trembled violently.
A joke?
Before, he didn't know Ye Ming's true identity, so it could be considered unintentional. But now that he knew everything, how could he let his disciple speak so rudely?
What if he truly angered Ye Ming? He might not be able to handle the consequences.
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst possible direction.
Otherwise, he might have already been finished.
"You scoundrel! How dare you speak to your Uncle Ye like that? Hurry up and apologize!"
Leite waved his hand and said coldly.
"Wh... What! Uncle... Uncle Ye?"
Upon hearing these three words, Yue Ling felt his worldview shatter. His eyes widened, and he forgot the pain in his body.
Calling someone his own age "Uncle"!
Was he crazy or was his master crazy?
The others present were not doing any better. This dramatic turn of events was too sudden, too... shocking.
"What! You're not listening to me?"
Seeing that Yue Ling was still hesitating, Leite's tone became completely serious. In his pupils, the golden lightning began to intertwine again.
He was angry.
"N... No, I dare not!"
Seeing this, Yue Ling felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't dare to think too much and immediately got up and ran towards Ye Ming.
No one knew better than him how severe the consequences of his master's anger were.
"Yue... Yue Ling pays his respects to Uncle Ye!"
After a moment of hesitation, Yue Ling decisively knelt down and said with his head bowed, "I apologize for offending Uncle Ye. I hope you will forgive me!"
At this moment, no matter how unwilling or humiliated Yue Ling felt, he had to endure it, and could only endure it.
Although he didn't know why his master's attitude had changed 180 degrees, he couldn't afford to think about it now.
"Forget it! Get up!"
Ye Ming naturally didn't take Yue Ling's previous actions to heart. Although the other party was a bit too arrogant, after careful consideration, it seemed understandable.
After all, Yue Ling's master was Elder Xi of the Black Tower, and he was an esper equivalent to a Martial God. Such a status was extremely transcendent outside.
As his only disciple, Yue Ling, having such a master, his disposition would inevitably become arrogant and somewhat condescending.
"Th... Thank you, Uncle Ye!"
Yue Ling was somewhat disbelieving that he had been forgiven so easily and didn't dare to look up immediately.
"Hmph! You only know how to show off using my name outside. Useless fellow," Leite scolded loudly. "If it weren't for your Uncle Ye's magnanimity today, see how I would deal with you."
Although Leite was scolding his disciple on the surface, Ye Ming, opposite him, knew very well that he was deliberately protecting Yue Ling.
It was clear that Leite was very fond of this disciple.
Otherwise, why would he entrust the entire Other Shore Village to him for management?
Speaking of the Other Shore Village, it reminded him of Naini'er's previous guess.
During the ten minutes Ye Ming and Leite were talking in the room, he finally understood the true meaning of the Other Shore Village's existence.
Just as Naini'er had said, all of this was not simply for the pleasure of politicians and high officials, but the ultimate purpose was to gather intelligence.
And it was all intelligence targeted at the core personnel of various countries.
Places like the Other Shore Village were not the only ones under the Black Tower's control in the capital of Gaoqiao Country, Bayer. They existed in many cities in other countries.
From this alone, it was not without reason that the Black Tower could become the largest intelligence organization centered around Gaoqiao Country.
"Disciple will never dare again!"
Yue Ling still only dared to lower his head and did not dare to meet Leite's gaze.
"I'll spare you this once!"
Leite snorted coldly, then continued, "Since your Uncle Ye is here, why don't you quickly present the special performance you prepared? If he is satisfied, it can just make up for your previous offense."
"Yes! Everything is ready, disciple will go and do it now!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Ling didn't dare to linger any longer and immediately retreated.
Of course!
For him, this was also a kind of release.
As for the others present, they also left one after another and returned to their seats.
However, most of them were still a bit dazed.
After Yue Ling left, Ye Ming glanced at Leite beside him without a trace, smiled, and said, "Brother Leite, I won't watch this special performance. I still have some things to attend to and need to go back."
Previously, Nangong Qianyu had sent a message, and he dared not delay.
"Don't rush, Brother Ye!"
Leite raised his eyebrows, revealing a somewhat roguish look. "This is the second girl group of Gaoqiao Country. There aren't many opportunities. Don't you really want to see it?"
"This... Brother! I..."
"Sigh! Don't say any more! Anyway, watching a performance won't take much time. It's not too late to go back after watching. Let's go, let's go!"
Before Ye Ming could refuse, Leite directly pushed him back to his original seat and gave him a knowing wink.
"I..."
Looking at Leite leaving with a smile, Ye Ming was somewhat helpless.
"Li Hongzhi was looking for me, it wasn't an urgent matter from Qianyu! Watching for a while... it should be fine!"
In the end, Ye Ming compromised with the stirrings in his heart.
Just as he was about to settle down to watch the upcoming special performance, his arm was suddenly embraced by a soft, restraining force, and he felt a wave of heat near his ear.
"Young Master Ye, you are truly a hidden talent!"
