Chapter 1868: Qie Gewala
To avoid being tracked by the Ye Family of Lingnan, Ye Chenfeng chose to hide in a graveyard deep in the mountains.
A desolate place, yet someone being there implied they had followed him.
Though the opponent moved as fast as lightning, Ye Chenfeng captured him in the blink of an eye.
Seeing a stranger’s face, Ye Chenfeng felt a sense of relief.
He thought someone had discovered him, but it was merely a passerby.
"Bro, just let me go, okay? I’m just passing by, I didn’t know there’d be someone in this graveyard."
The man, around his twenties, had a handsome face, but somehow didn’t look like a good person.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes shot out two cold beams, and he coldly said, "What are you doing in a graveyard in the middle of the night?"
Of course, compared to a proper Ancient Tomb, this graveyard was nothing. It was more recent, with no valuable items inside.
"Haha... Bro, I..."
The man hesitated, unable to speak.
"Are you a grave robber?"
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze flashed as he asked.
The man began to grin mischievously, not answering, which was as good as admitting.
"What can you rob from this graveyard? You’d be better off getting a job."
Ye Chenfeng looked at him with disdain.
"Getting a job is impossible, there’s no way I’m getting a job in this life. I’m not good at doing business, only grave robbing allows me to scrape by. Coming to such places feels like going home, it’s quiet here, no one disturbs me. I really like it."
The man said earnestly.
"What’s your name?"
"In the south, I’m somewhat famous, folks call me ’Qie Gewala’, just call me Qie Gewala."
Qie Gewala chuckled slyly, a perverted expression on his face.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t speak. A minute later, his communicator received a message, it was about Qie Gewala.
After reading the message, Ye Chenfeng confirmed that Qie Gewala was merely passing by by coincidence.
"Your cultivation is half step to the Innate Realm, especially your speed is exceptional. Why have you fallen to such a state, grave robbing these small graveyards?"
Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.
Qie Gewala smiled and said, "Bro, you might not know this, but graves are also classified into levels. Considering various factors together, they’re divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow levels."
"And this grave?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
Qie Gewala looked at it with disdain and said: "It’s not even considered a Yellow level grave. If I’m lucky, finding a Yellow level grave lets me relax for half a year. I don’t have big ambitions, just want to make a living."
Qie Gewala exuded a sense of carefree nonchalance.
"What about a Profound level grave?"
Ye Chenfeng asked with interest.
"Profound level graves are hard to come by, even if found, I need to partner with others to enter, let alone think about Heaven and Earth level graves. Just entering them might cost me my life,"
Qie Gewala was filled with fear, signaling the dangers of graveyards.
"Huh? What’s wrong, bro?"
Seeing Ye Chenfeng standing with hands crossed and a mischievous look, Qie Gewala was terrified.
"I can bet you’ve been inside Heaven and Earth level graves."
Ye Chenfeng said very seriously.
Qie Gewala showed a panicked expression: "Bro, don’t say things carelessly, I wouldn’t dare go to such places."
He might deceive others, but not Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng already had a plan in mind, Qie Gewala could be of great help.
"Qie Gewala, real name Zhuo Feiyang, a native of Liuzhou, Guangxi. You’re not just a top grave robber, but also like a Bai Xiaosheng in the martial world, with extensive connections and well-informed."
Ye Chenfeng scrutinized him, with piercing eyes.
Qie Gewala felt as if being seen through, shivered all over: "Bro, I can see you’re not an ordinary person, as you know all my details. If you need anything, just say the word, I’m at your service."
Qie Gewala, quick-witted, immediately inquired.
"Help me find some medicinal herbs!"
Hearing this, Qie Gewala immediately straightened up: "Bro, that’s easy, leave it to me."
Ye Chenfeng handed a list of herbs to Qie Gewala.
"This is a Thousand Years Wild Ginseng. I’ve never heard of these others."
Qie Gewala’s expression changed.
But he quickly changed his tone: "However, I do know a friend who runs a large herbal farm."
"Herbal farm? Most modern herb farms are used for producing Western medicines. Where would they have the herbs I need?"
Ye Chenfeng snorted coldly.
Qie Gewala immediately said: "No, Bro, my friend’s herbs are supplied to some traditional Chinese medicine shops, not for modern pharmaceuticals. It’s said he has many precious herbs, and last time I heard of one comparable to a Thousand Years Wild Ginseng."
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s disbelief, Qie Gewala continued: "Bro, you have to believe me, at the beginning of this year a Ten Thousand Years Wild Ginseng supposedly appeared in the Northeast, practically a spirit. In the end, the King of Lingnan obtained it and saved Ye Rulong’s life. My friend having herbs on par with Thousand Years Wild Ginseng is not surprising at all."
Ye Chenfeng smiled faintly; he was more familiar with that wild ginseng than anyone else.
"Take me there now!"
Ye Chenfeng ordered.
On the afternoon of the third day.
Ye Chenfeng and his companion arrived in the deep mountains of Xiang Province, where a towering mountain stood before them, tall and majestic, shrouded in mist.
"Brother, please get out of the car. My friend likes tranquility and doesn’t appreciate modern tools entering his territory."
Qie Gewala said.
"Oh."
Ye Chenfeng and Qie Gewala began to walk up the mountain together.
"My friend has quite a peculiar temperament. If you’re destined to meet him, he might give you precious herbs for free. But if he doesn’t like you, no matter how high the price you offer, you won’t get a single herb."
Qie Gewala couldn’t help but say.
"That’s quite interesting."
Ye Chenfeng, with his hands behind his back, felt a bit of anticipation.
As long as the herbs are complete, the scars on his body can be healed.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just then, several off-road vehicles rushed over and stopped nearby.
About twenty people got out of the cars. Apart from a few individuals dressed in lavish attire, the rest were uniformly in black clothing, presenting a grand setup.
However, most of them stayed back, and only three people walked forward.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding an innate realm aura as he walked.
Behind him followed two young individuals, a man and a woman, who were approaching the innate realm.
Among the ten or so guards, four were of the innate realm, while the rest were half-step innate, indicating the deep background of a powerful family.
"Hold on, are you two headed to Medicine King Mountain?"
The middle-aged man quickly stepped in front of Ye Chenfeng and couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Chenfeng replied indifferently, "There’s only one path up the mountain."
The implication of Ye Chenfeng’s words was clear: "Isn’t what you’re saying redundant?"
Hearing this, the young man beside him coldly said, "Watch your tone, boy. Do you know who’s in front of you? Do you think wearing a mask and acting mysterious scares anyone?"
The middle-aged man immediately rebuked, "Feng’er, don’t be rude."
"Brothers, I am Luo Tianyu, from the Luo Family in Xiang Province. This is my son Luo Feng, and this is the daughter of a friend, Huang Bingwen. I hope you will forgive any offenses."
The middle-aged man Luo Tianyu was quite polite.
But Luo Feng and Huang Bingwen arrogantly raised their heads, looking down on Ye Chenfeng and his companion.
It wasn’t that they had a poor character; growing up in a top-notch family naturally cultivated a superior demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Qie Gewala’s expression changed subtly, and he whispered, "The Luo Family and Huang Family are the two top aristocratic families in Xiang Province. The Luo Family specializes in martial arts, and the Huang Family in medicine, dominating Xiang Province. Just like the Ye Family in Lingnan, but potentially even stronger. If they’re here at Medicine King Mountain, it indicates good herbs at my friend’s place."
"So you recognize us, it seems you have some insight."
"Indeed, saves us from having to introduce ourselves."
Luo Feng and Huang Bingwen spoke mocking words, their tone full of arrogance.
"May I ask who you two are..."
Luo Tianyu couldn’t help but ask.
"I am Zhuo Feiyang."
Qie Gewala replied with a smile.
"Never heard of you."
Luo Feng snorted coldly.
"Zhuo Feiyang? Could it be the one known as the King of Thieves, Qie Gewala?"
Luo Tianyu’s expression shifted.
"Indeed, I didn’t expect Mr. Luo to know."
Qie Gewala was taken aback.
"Hahaha, I was wondering who it was. Turns out to be Qie Gewala. I heard you’ve been failing at tomb raiding and turned to stealing electric bicycles for a living?"
Luo Feng’s mocking laughter came from beside them.
Suddenly, Huang Bingwen asked, "Are you also here for Bingwen’s precious herbs?"
"Yes. Indeed. Could it be that you are as well, Mr. Luo?"
Qie Gewala asked in return.
"Haha, what a coincidence. We indeed came for the herbs."
Luo Tianyu chuckled.
"You’d better leave; all the herbs belong to me."
Ye Chenfeng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his tone commanding.
His words were shocking, leaving Luo Tianyu and the others momentarily stunned.
