Chapter 1016: Chapter 1015: It Looks Like You’re Going to Be Laid Off! (1 more)

Finally, after an hour, Ye Haochuan suddenly let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth.

”Haochuan, what’s wrong?” An Li’s heart tightened as she immediately stepped forward to ask with concern.

”Haha!” Ye Haochuan unexpectedly burst into laughter, which made An Li even more worried. Could it be that Ye Haochuan had gone off the rails?

”Haochuan, please don’t scare me!” An Li hugged him tightly.

Ye Haochuan touched his hair gently and said in a soft voice, ”Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

”Then why did you suddenly laugh just now?”

”I laughed because I’m thrilled!”

The Seven-segment Rainbow, in Ye Haochuan’s eyes, was beyond incredible. Now having the fortune to obtain it, how could he not be excited?

However, during his earlier Empty Bright State, Ye Haochuan could only practice this technique to the third level. Pushing further would mean risking blood rushing to his head or even truly losing control.

Ye Haochuan was exhilarated. Although he had only reached the third level, its power was already equivalent to that of a Spirit Level Technique. He could scarcely imagine how terrifying it would be once the Seven-segment Rainbow reached its Great Achievement.

”An Li, this time you’ve really made a major contribution!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but say; without her, the Seven-segment Rainbow might never have seen the light of day again. Even if discovered by someone, it might not have ended up in his possession.

An Li smiled and said, ”So, how are you planning to reward me?”

”Reward?” Ye Haochuan gave a mischievous grin, ran his hand over An Li’s curvy backside, and said, ”Tonight, I’m all yours. Whatever you want, you’ll get. Isn’t that reward good enough?”

”Pfft!” An Li spat playfully, then said with displeasure, ”This clearly feels more like a reward for yourself!”

”I beg to differ. Are you saying the pleasure is only mine? Dare you admit you won’t feel good?”

Ye Haochuan’s words made An Li’s face flush red. Even though there were only the two of them present, An Li was still shy beyond measure. She hit Ye Haochuan’s chest lightly and retorted, ”You’re such a rogue!”

”Haha!” Ye Haochuan grabbed An Li’s delicate fists, laughing loudly, ”Alright, let’s go back to the Imperial Capital to celebrate! Gather all the members of your intelligence group; they also deserve credit for helping us secure the Seven-segment Rainbow!”

An Li’s face lit up with joy, and she replied, ”Alright, they’ve been wanting to meet you anyway!”

Although An Li’s intelligence network included many underlings, not all of them actively worked on tracking clues; most were part-time contributors. In truth, the core group consisted of only a few individuals.

An Li frequently spoke about Ye Haochuan in front of her intelligence group members, so they were naturally curious about the mysterious figure whom An Li couldn’t stop talking about.

Back in the Imperial Capital, An Li immediately notified the group members and decided on Lanyi Pavilion—a high-end private clubhouse—as the venue for the celebration gathering.

Ye Haochuan and An Li arrived first, took showers, changed into fresh outfits, ordered food, and popped open a bottle of champagne to await the others.

An Li’s intelligence group members arrived quickly, eager to meet the legendary figure they’d heard so much about.

Three young individuals showed up: two men and one woman.

Ye Haochuan and An Li both rose to greet them. An Li stepped forward and introduced them, saying, ”This is Qiu Kui.”

True to his name, Qiu Kui was burly, a typical Northener. Ye Haochuan extended his hand cordially, ”Hello, I’m Ye Haochuan.”

”Haha... I hear An Li talk about you day and night. You’re as impressive as I imagined—handsome, even more so than me!”

Aside from Ye Haochuan, everyone else looked at Qiu Kui with disdain.

”You? A guy who can’t even find a girlfriend dares to call himself handsome?” The speaker was a girl who appeared refined, with long hair tied back, bangs framing her face, and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

An Li introduced her, ”Zhuo Lan, my close friend.”

Ye Haochuan extended his hand and smiled, ”Pleasure to meet you.”

Zhuo Lan shook hands with Ye Haochuan, scrutinizing him briefly before saying, ”I hear from An Li that you’re quite remarkable?”

”I wouldn’t say remarkable—just started cultivation slightly earlier than her, that’s all.” Ye Haochuan had already noticed that An Li’s group were all cultivators, although their boundary levels weren’t high—comparable to hers.

”This guy is Wu Qing,” An Li introduced the last one—a medium-built man with a fair complexion and neat, handsome features.

After introductions, everyone took their seats. Ye Haochuan raised his glass and said, ”This discovery of the Secret Treasury was thanks to all of you. Here’s to everyone!”

Ye Haochuan downed his drink in one go.

The gathering served two purposes: first, to thank everyone, and second, for Ye Haochuan to learn more about their intelligence group. Based on An Li’s descriptions, they were all exceptional talents.

Once drinks flowed freely, conversations opened up, and the group eagerly shared their experiences—how they first encountered An Li, how they formed their team, how they hunted for information, and the challenges they faced along the way.

After hearing their tales, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but see An Li in a new light. Admiringly, he said, ”I didn’t expect you to have such an outstanding knack for intelligence!”

”Of course!” An Li beamed with joy, fueled by Ye Haochuan’s praise.

Suddenly, Ye Haochuan asked, ”By the way, previously you asked me not to look into the Liu Family—was it because you found something?”

Earlier, Ye Haochuan had been too focused on the Secret Treasury matter to probe further.

An Li shook her head and said, ”I didn’t find anything specific. It’s just that the Liu Family, as one of the five major families in the Imperial Capital, has both power and influence. I was worried...”

”I see!” Ye Haochuan nodded in realization. It became clear to him that An Li had been concerned for his safety. ”Don’t worry. Since I dare to investigate them, I naturally have my own leverage.”

”And what leverage would that be? Long Xiaotian? From what I know, even he might struggle against the Liu Family!”

”Uh...”

Damn, it felt like nothing could escape An Li’s sharp intuition. Was there no room for privacy between people anymore?

Ye Haochuan was momentarily speechless but steadied himself before saying, ”Actually, Long Xiaotian isn’t as simple as you think. Besides, if we uncover proof that the Liu Family is involved in collusion with Hellfire, then the entire Xuanmen will be my leverage. I certainly wouldn’t fear them.”

Ye Haochuan was confident—if the matter involved Hellfire conspiracy, Xuanmen would show no leniency toward the Liu Family.

Understanding this, An Li didn’t press further.

Next, Ye Haochuan disclosed his Dragon Network initiative to them, revealing that An Li would manage the entire system and suggesting that the three group members also join Dragon Network.

Now that the Dragon Network’s framework was nearly perfected, it was vastly superior to their small intelligence group, allowing them to fully utilize their strengths. The decision to join Dragon Network was made instantly!

After the meal, Ye Haochuan called Li Wenfeng directly, opening with, ”Wenfeng, looks like you’re being relieved from duty...”

Ye Haochuan chuckled as he explained An Li’s new role to Li Wenfeng.

”Really?” Li Wenfeng replied, sounding excited.

”Of course!”

”Brother Ye, that’s an incredibly wise decision!” On the other end, Li Wenfeng sounded close to tears. ”Brother Ye, you have no idea! This month has been hell—eating poorly, sleeping worse, handling countless tasks. If you didn’t send someone soon, I was ready to quit!”

”Alright, then it’s settled!”
