Chapter 72 - Asura Hall
When Li Yaoyao saw the mysterious man in black, who was on his last breath from the explosion, she knew that all of this was a trap set by Xue Fanxin. Although she was resentful, she also felt extremely fortunate.
She hated Xue Fanxin for winning, but she was lucky that the person who came to the provision room tonight was not her, or she would have long been blown up into pieces.
The mysterious black-clothed person had already fallen into Xue Fanxin's hands and could no longer be her backer. It was rather dangerous for her to stay in the Duke's Estate. She better leave quickly.
Li Yaoyao didn't think too much about it and immediately returned to pack her things. She left the Duke's Estate with her maidservant.
Xue Fanxin had long expected Li Yaoyao to escape after the black-clothed person died, but she did not care. At this moment, she was staring at the black-clothed person and watching him die with her own eyes. From the beginning to the end, she had not obtained any useful information from him. It made her depressed, so she planned to search his body.
However, just as she was about to search his body, her outstretched hand was grabbed.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, what are you doing?"
"He's a man," Ye Jiushang said solemnly as he grabbed Xue Fanxin's hand.
"Of course I know he's a man, but why are you holding onto me?"
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
"He's already dead. Why are you still arguing about this?"
"Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, you are not to touch any man." Ye Jiushang pulled Xue Fanxin's hand away and refused to let her touch the man in black.
Xue Fanxin was speechless and did not want to quarrel with Ye Jiushang. Hence, she called for others to do the job. "Come and search his body. See if there's anything on him."
"Yes." A guard walked over and searched the man in black carefully. Apart from a token and some letters, he couldn't find anything else.
Xue Fanxin briefly read the contents of the letter. Most of them were secret codes that ordinary people would find difficult to read.
There was also a strange bronze token. Apart from a special pattern, there was nothing on it.
All in all, she did not obtain any clues from the man in black.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, do you know what the symbol on the token is?" Since Xue Fanxin had a favor to ask of Ye Jiushang, she spoke pleasantly and had a smile on her face.
Ye Jiushang had long figured out Xue Fanxin. He smiled like a fox and said, "If you want to know, then show your sincerity. As long as you win my favor, I'll tell you."
"You…" Xue Fanxin glared at Ye Jiushang angrily, feeling displeased.
Yi Tian, who was standing by the side, suddenly said, "This is the token of the Asura Hall's lowest rank bronze token. From this, we can guess that this person should be an ordinary disciple of the Asura Hall."
"What is the Asura Hall?" Xue Fanxin was happy to obtain the answer from Yi Tian. She turned her attention to him and even went close to speak to him.
Ye Jiushang got depressed when he saw this. He immediately came to a decision: he had to get rid of this annoying fly as soon as possible.
Yi Tian did not know what Ye Jiushang was thinking. He said to Xue Fanxin seriously, "Asura Hall is a mysterious organization. As long as you can pay, they can help you resolve any trouble. However, no one knows where the Asura Hall is or who the leader is. They only know that the Asura Hall has never failed on a commission."
He really did not understand how Xin'er had provoked the people from the Asura Hall.
