Chapter 2016: Chapter 2016: Summer Insects Cannot Discuss Ice

While wandering around Skywolf City for a while, the two felt a bit hungry and found a tavern at random to order some food.

While eating, Ye Haochuan explained some common sense about life outside to Niu Kui.

Niu Kui had been straightforward since childhood and used to solve everything by sheer force.

This lifestyle was practical in a small village, as no one there was his match. But here, it was quite dangerous, as too many people were much stronger than him.

Niu Kui was direct, but that didn’t mean he was dumb. He nodded solemnly, saying he’d remember.

After saying what needed to be said, Niu Kui began venting all his ”anger” on the food, creating a mess on the table.

Ye Haochuan shook his head with a wry smile, carefully savoring his own plate of food.

”Brother, is everything ready?”

”Haha, of course! Tonight we’ll make our move. After this, we’ll feast and indulge...”

”Shh... Do you want others to know we’ve found the treasure?”

During a sneaky conversation, Ye Haochuan’s ears caught their words, piquing his interest.

These two were sitting not far behind them, in the corner of the tavern. There were only Ye Haochuan’s table close enough to overhear.

Both of them were at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage of cultivation. Perhaps thinking Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui posed little threat to them, they automatically ignored them.

Ye Haochuan was not particularly interested in the treasure they spoke of. However, their conversation reminded him of the treasure Le Yao had mentioned before.

Back then, after helping Le Yao kill Gu Tian, she had promised him a treasure, which was located in Anxi County.

Although Le Yao might have deceived him before, her attitude when she mentioned the treasure didn’t seem false.

”Regardless of whether Keyue arrives or not, I should investigate the treasure first!” Ye Haochuan decided, urging Niu Kui to hurry up with his meal and left the tavern.

Ye Haochuan didn’t hurry to find the treasure. Instead, he sought out a painter in Skywolf City, and showed him photos of Long Keyue on his phone, asking him to draw several paintings.

Although the phone was specially crafted with ample charge, it was not limitless. And besides, he only had one phone, so he wouldn’t let it out of his hands lightly.

”This... This... Which master’s work is this? It’s so vivid...”

The painter saw Long Keyue’s photo and seemed mesmerized, staring for quite a while, completely forgetting his business.

”Ahem, sir, could you help me recreate a few portraits of this lady?” Ye Haochuan, helpless, feigned a cough and asked the painter again.

”Ah? Sure... Yes, but my skill can’t compare to this master’s, sir...”

The painter finally snapped out of it, and looked at Ye Haochuan apologetically, still holding Ye Haochuan’s phone.

”No worries, just do your best.”

Ye Haochuan chuckled to himself; if you could create photo-like effects, why use cameras at all?

”Um... sir, could you tell me who this master of the artwork is?”

After hearing Ye Haochuan, the painter relaxed, then nervously clutched the phone, looking at Ye Haochuan eagerly.

That master is right in your hands!

Ye Haochuan found it amusing but couldn’t reveal the truth, so he simply laughed and said, ”Well, I don’t know that master either...”

”Alas...”

The painter couldn’t help but sigh: ”Oh well, seeing such a brilliant, vivid masterpiece is already fortunate enough, what more could I wish for?”

After saying this, the painter sat back on his stool and began carefully recreating the photo of Long Keyue on the phone.

Watching him intensely like an elementary student copying Wang Xizhi, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh, though the painter did have some skill, he admitted.

”Hmm?” While awaiting the painting’s completion, Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed two pairs of eyes staring at him.

He discreetly used his Perspective Eyes to look, discovering it was the two people from the tavern discussing the treasure.

Were they planning to kill him to silence him?

Ye Haochuan found it amusing.

These two didn’t know to be cautious while discussing things and now followed him stealthily, simply bizarre.

However, Ye Haochuan evidently guessed wrong. After watching him for a while, they left, showing no signs of wanting to eliminate him.

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment and barely understood.

These two were unsure if Ye Haochuan really heard their conversation, so they came to verify.

Typically, upon hearing about treasure, one would eagerly rush to find it. However, Ye Haochuan didn’t do that but sought someone to paint instead. Thus, they assumed he hadn’t overheard.

”Hehe, if I really wanted to snatch your treasure, could you two even escape?”

Ye Haochuan shook his head, turned his gaze back to the painter, who had been working for quite a while now, with a rough sketch already visible on the canvas.

The canvas displayed Long Keyue’s perfect features, crafted with swift strokes, leaping off the canvas. After some finishing touches, a flawless artwork was in the painter’s hands.

”Excellent skill!”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t hold back his praise upon seeing Long Keyue’s perfect visage on the canvas.

”Oh, sir, you’re too kind, compared to the master’s work, this can’t be called skillful...” Yet the painter humbly shook his head.

Summer insects can’t discuss ice, and cicadas know nothing of the seasons; those who haven’t seen cameras can’t comprehend advanced technology!

Taking the portrait, Ye Haochuan handed it to Niu Kui, instructing him to continue searching for Long Keyue’s whereabouts in Anxi City using the image.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t unwilling to share the treasure with Niu Kui, but he wasn’t sure if there was any danger. Despite Niu Kui’s strong fighting capability, he tended to rely on brute strength, with weaker adaptability to unforeseen incidents.

Moreover, he wasn’t sure when Long Keyue would arrive at Skywolf City. If she arrived and couldn’t find him and left, he’d miss her again.

With Niu Kui around, Long Keyue knowing someone was seeking her with her image wouldn’t leave again.

After explaining, Ye Haochuan left the city, heading towards South City...
