Ye Luo’s face held a smile, but the dagger in his hand was slowly approaching that person’s neck, the intention couldn’t be more obvious.

Of course, at this moment, Ye Luo’s attention wasn’t actually on this person at all.

Having activated the Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo was searching for the mastermind behind these people. Unfortunately, he had no success, but a powerful individual was still rushing over from afar.

"Young master, please stop!"

The strong individual possessed the cultivation of the sixth realm of the Qi Cyclone Realm. Though not the highest in cultivation among the ambushers, his status was obviously the most prominent.

Ye Luo glanced at the person; he had long seen that this person had secretly contacted their master before daring to come over, so naturally, Ye Luo would not show him a good face.

"And what are you, exactly? What gives you the right to speak to this young master?"

Ye Luo’s words made the person falter slightly. After all, he too was of the sixth realm of Qi Cyclone cultivation. In the Martial Realm where the strong are respected, strength always speaks—of course, the sole exception being those scions of great families, as they are nobles with titles from birth!

"Young master, please quell your anger. My master is willing to reconcile with the young master. My master says, he is willing to offer a thousand Gold Coins as compensation, to treat the young master to a drink, and hopes the young master will overlook today’s incident."

"A thousand Gold Coins? Interesting. Alright then, I will give each of you a thousand Gold Coins to make your damned master come out!"

As Ye Luo spoke, he actually flicked his wrist, and a small mountain of Gold Coins appeared!

Of course, this was actually all the assets of the Nalan Family. This pile of small gold mountains had tens of thousands of Gold Coins, at the very least!

In an instant, the color of that person’s face changed drastically.

He once again confirmed in his heart that Ye Luo’s identity was by no means simple!

At this moment, those who had been watching the scene unfold in secret were also slightly shocked. It could be said that they had already utilized their Strength to investigate Ye Luo’s identity, but had found not a single clue.

But no news was the worst news, because this was the Imperial Capital where there was no shortage of super nobility hiding in plain sight!

At this time, far away, on the top floor of a tall building, a middle-aged man’s brow was deeply furrowed.

"Damn it, where did this guy come from? The Heavenly Palace Corporation never receives outsiders, so why is there an outsider there today?!"

"Sect Master, please calm your anger. Right now, we should consider how to resolve this conflict. That person has never revealed his identity from beginning to end. Although he seems like an ordinary person, from his methods and attitude alone, one can tell he is not simple. Moreover, I’m afraid not even a common noble has the ability to take out tens of thousands of Gold Coins so casually! Therefore, I believe this young man’s identity is extraordinary, at least an Earl or above in the Nobility, and his family must be even more powerful!"

"Isn’t that just stating the obvious? Even a fool can see he’s no ordinary man. What I need now is a solution! Not your pointless chatter!"

The Sect Master’s face was full of reluctance. In reality, their power was comparable to that of the Heavenly Palace Corporation, but they were merely a mid-tier force!

They dared to challenge the Heavenly Palace Corporation, but it did not mean they dared to offend nobility in the Imperial Capital at will, especially the major nobles!

The furrowed brows of the Think Tank indicated he was pondering, and after a moment, he said, "Sect Master, I’m afraid that this time, we must bleed a little. How about we compensate him with fifty thousand Gold Coins? I think fifty thousand Gold Coins should be enough to pacify his anger since, after all, we haven’t actually done anything!"

"What, fifty thousand Gold Coins?"

The Sect Master was slightly taken aback. Fifty thousand Gold Coins was no small sum for him, but it seemed that there were no other viable options right now.

Reluctantly, the man had to make a call.

Moments later, another person was heading towards Ye Luo at great speed.

"Young master, please calm your anger. My Family Head is willing to compensate for your losses. My Family Head says that the young master actually didn’t suffer any loss this time and is willing to offer fifty thousand Gold Coins as compensation. Please quell your anger, young master!"

Fifty thousand Gold Coins?

Ye Luo was secretly delighted. Fifty thousand Gold Coins were certainly no small amount for him either; this money was too easy to make!

Of course, Ye Luo also understood the principle of stopping while ahead, after all, he was not really a noble. Once his identity was exposed, Ye Luo might be in big trouble!

"Fifty thousand Gold Coins? Hmm, at least your Family Head has some sincerity. It’s enough for this young master’s monthly allowance. Alright, hand over the money, and you can leave!"

A monthly allowance?

The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly. Wasn’t this bragging a bit too much? Perhaps even the princes of the Imperial Family didn’t have this kind of treatment; could it be that he was a Prince?

Of course, these thoughts he dared only think to himself and not voice aloud.

"Young master, please provide your personal account; I will transfer the money right away. You understand, fifty thousand Gold Coins is no small sum, after all."

This was also a trap. A personal account, put simply, was tied to each individual’s identity. Each person only had one such account, and if Ye Luo were to give his personal account to these people, then his identity would be immediately exposed.

Keep in mind that Ye Luo’s current identity was only that which was processed by the Nalan Family for Ye Luo, that of a retainer for the Nalan Family!

Would Ye Luo be that foolish? Of course not. So he directly addressed Lu Yi, "Lu Yi, give them your personal account and let them transfer the money there!"

Lu Yi was slightly startled, but knowing Ye Luo’s real identity, she understood his intention and directly stepped forward.

The person, seeing his ploy fail, was not angry. After all, if Ye Luo’s identity could be so easily revealed, they themselves would not believe it.

However, with Lu Yi’s identity, they believed they could investigate Ye Luo’s identity. In fact, they knew this would be the outcome from the start.

Unfortunately, their calculations proved wrong.

After the transaction concluded, the group ran off with their tails between their legs.

Far away, after the Sect Master obtained Lu Yi’s identity, a thorough investigation shockingly revealed that Lu Yi was a top-class songstress trained by Yibao Commerce Guild, and her current identity was still evidently only that of a top-class songstress from Yibao Commerce Guild, with no change of master!

Thus, there could only be two possibilities: first, the young man was a person from Yibao Commerce Guild!

Second, the young man did not change Lu Yi’s identity.

However, regardless of which it was, it seemed that they could not afford to offend either.

The power of Yibao Commerce Guild was already far beyond theirs!

Ye Luo once again activated the Clairvoyant Eye, making sure everyone had left before leaving with Lu Yi.

Of course, he definitely had to take the pile of Gold Coins on the ground; that was everything Ye Luo owned!

...

As Ye Luo left, although he himself did not feel anything special, he had caught the attention of some people.
