Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 422: The Mysterious Old Man


Weei Jie, as the secretary to the chairman of Hengyu Group, was akin to the second most important person in the company. Ye Xiao believed he could help him!

"Ye Xiao, what's the matter?" Weei Jie got straight to the point without any pleasantries!

Ye Xiao asked, "Uncle Weei, do you know where the Yusha Cold Storage is?"

"Yusha Cold Storage?" Upon hearing this name, Weei Jie's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Such a place that could make Weei Jie change his expression obviously wasn't ordinary, so Ye Xiao immediately asked with curiosity, "Uncle Weei, is there something special about Yusha Cold Storage?"

Weei Jie said, "Yusha Cold Storage was built twenty years ago, completely suggesting it was cast from steel. It's the biggest cold storage facility in Minghai City, but because the cost to build it was so high, the usage fees are relatively expensive. Hence, Yusha Cold Storage is often only partially used, and also..."

"What about it?" Ye Xiao immediately asked when Weei Jie paused.

Weei Jie continued, "There's another most important thing. Its damage resistance is very strong. Ten years ago, there was a confrontation between two Earth Rank experts within Yusha Cold Storage. They fought fiercely, but the cold storage remained completely undamaged. If it had been a regular cold storage, I'm afraid it would have collapsed by then!"

Oh?

Hearing Weei Jie's words, Ye Xiao was intrigued, but he continued to ask, "Where exactly is Yusha Cold Storage?"

Weei Jie replied, "What exactly are you going to do at Yusha Cold Storage? I'll come with you!"

Ye Xiao understood that Weei Jie was worried about his safety. He chuckled and said to Weei Jie, "Uncle Weei, I'm just going to handle some small matters. I should be able to take care of them."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Weei Jie hesitated for a moment but eventually still gave Ye Xiao the location of Yusha Cold Storage!

After telling Ye Xiao where Yusha Cold Storage was, Weei Jie again said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, you must not fight with Martial Artists in Yusha Cold Storage. Of those two Earth Rank experts from ten years ago, not one was able to leave the place. Ordinary people can enter it without a problem, but for some reason, there seems to be a taboo for Martial Artists. So, you must be careful!"

If Ye Xiao hadn't been aware of these rumors about Yusha Cold Storage, he might have hesitated to go, but Weei Jie's words only served to pique his natural curiosity, and he was determined to go.

After surviving countless battles in Lijiazhou, what was a mere cold storage to fear? Besides, he also wanted to see who was behind the attempt to lure him to Yusha Cold Storage and who was responsible for abducting Qin Yulu!

Ye Xiao also understood that the direct reason for Qin Yulu's capture was due to him, Ye Xiao. If not for his involvement, Qin Yulu would not have been taken!

So, for both public and personal reasons, both emotionally and rationally, Ye Xiao had to go to Yusha Cold Storage!

"Uncle Weei, I'll be careful!" After saying this, Ye Xiao hung up the phone.

Seeing that Ye Xiao had hung up, Weei Jie frowned slightly, thought for a while, and eventually left his office.

Speaking of Ye Xiao, after hanging up the phone with Weei Jie, he immediately drove his Q Rui car swiftly towards the location of Yusha Cold Storage. Now he had a rough idea of the route, and since Yusha Cold Storage was supposedly a well-known place in Minghai City, Ye Xiao believed it wouldn't be difficult to find!

Indeed, Ye Xiao quickly located Yusha Cold Storage. However, upon arriving, he didn't see the tall structure of the cold storage. Standing outside the courtyard called Yusha Cold Storage, the building even looked somewhat dilapidated. The gatekeeper was an old man around fifty or sixty years old, who was bustling about in the guardhouse as if he hadn't noticed Ye Xiao at all.

Ye Xiao had no desire to greet him; it wasn't the time to show respect for the elderly. So, he immediately strode directly towards the inside of Yusha Cold Storage.

But just as he got to the gate, he suddenly heard the old gatekeeper say, "Stop right there!"

Ye Xiao immediately looked at the gatekeeper, who continued to bustle around as if he hadn't spoken to Ye Xiao. Confused, Ye Xiao wondered if he had misunderstood. Maybe the old man hadn't spoken to him at all?

Ye Xiao tried to walk inside again, but the old man spoke up once more.

"It's very impolite to enter without greeting," the old man said.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xiao's eyebrows furrowed; he was sure the old man had spoken. And yet, no matter how he looked, the old man seemed to be nothing more than a scrawny, very ordinary-looking elder.

"Excuse me, are you talking to me?" Ye Xiao said to the old man!

The old man did not turn around, but his voice came through again.

"Is there a third person here?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but wonder secretly, was this old man really just a gatekeeper?

"I am here to seek someone!"

"The person you are looking for is not here. If you wish to continue existing in this gilded society, you'd better go back!"

Listenting to these strange words, Ye Xiao became very puzzled. What was the background of this old man who seemed to have foreknowledge of his arrival? Could it be that he was the one who had called him here?

"Was it you who called me here?" Ye Xiao immediately looked at the old man with wariness, the man who still refused to turn around!

The old man chuckled softly and said, "I, an old man, don't have that leisurely mood. I will only tell you that for a woman, it's not worth risking your life. It's not worth it!"

"Ah?" Hearing the old man's words, it was clear that he seemed to know everything.

Ye Xiao did not dare to be careless; at the same time, his body rapidly condensed the thick Nine Yang True Qi, and he looked at the old man earnestly, saying, "Who in the world are you?"

"There are heavens beyond the sky, people beyond people; don't think just because you know a thing or two that you really understand how high the sky is or how thick the earth is." The old man still did not turn his head and continued to fiddle with things inside the dilapidated house!

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Xiao did not speak for a long while. At this moment, he could feel that the old man in front of him was no ordinary elder. However, he could not fully determine whether the old man was friend or foe. Yet, the old man's every sentence seemed to be urging Ye Xiao to leave; it was apparent that he was not here to harm Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao bowed towards the old man in the shattered house, saying, "I thank the senior for your warning, but I have reasons I cannot avoid."

After finishing his words, Ye Xiao immediately walked briskly towards the Jade Sand Cold Storage. It was only when Ye Xiao entered the Jade Sand Cold Storage that the gatekeeper put down the work in his hands, slowly walked out of the broken house, and looked up towards Ye Xiao who had just walked into the Jade Sand Cold Storage.

"What a persistent lad!" The gatekeeper smiled faintly, then entered the broken hut again, chuckling, "It seems today won't be peaceful."

As for Ye Xiao, who entered the Jade Sand Cold Storage, he found that there were indeed a few people inside. Many of them were laborers carrying things in and out. However, as soon as Ye Xiao walked in, a man who looked like a foreman came over to him.

"You are Mr. Ye, right?" The foreman looked at Ye Xiao with a grin, seemingly without any malice.

Ye Xiao looked at the foreman, and although the foreman didn't seem to harbor any malice, Ye Xiao didn't dare to take it lightly and assessed the foreman, saying, "I am Ye Xiao. Who might you be?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the foreman looked puzzledly at Ye Xiao and said, "Why so formal? If you are Ye Xiao, do you see it? That place marked as the number one cold storage room inside, someone is waiting for you there."

The foreman then immediately went off towards the laborers!

Ye Xiao immediately called out to the foreman, "Hey, aren't you coming with me?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the foreman immediately replied, "Why should I go with you? I have more than enough work here. Besides, didn't you only pay me a hundred bucks? You want to boss me around for just a hundred bucks? Crazy!"

The foreman went about his business, completely ignoring Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Who exactly was the person guiding him here?

Ye Xiao knew that whatever the foreman had just said about the number one cold storage room, surely held all that he wanted to know, so he immediately walked towards the furthest part of the Jade Sand Cold Storage compound!

The Jade Sand Cold Storage's compound was indeed large; it took Ye Xiao a good ten minutes just to get close to the so-called number one cold storage room. Far away, looking at it, the area around that cold storage was overgrown with weeds, as if it hadn't been visited in a long time, and the huge iron doors were rusted, apparently also long neglected!

Moreover, what puzzled Ye Xiao even more was that the number one cold storage room turned out to be the lowest in the entire compound, almost as big as an average flat.

"This so-called number one cold storage room seems to be the low-grade one," Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, when he looked around, he found that there was no one around at all. Actually, the whole latter part of the Jade Sand Cold Storage was deserted. The cement road, built who knows when, was now basically broken through by weeds, and because of the interlaced layout of the buildings in the Jade Sand Cold Storage, from the spot where Ye Xiao had talked to the foreman earlier, it was impossible to see here. If there were a few people in the front part, then this latter part of the Jade Sand Cold Storage was entirely silent!

Hadn't the foreman said there would be people? Why was there not a single person here? Could it be that the foreman had deceived him? But that didn't seem likely.

However, just as Ye Xiao was very puzzled, suddenly, streams of Inner Power True Qi rapidly converged towards him from all directions. Ye Xiao instantly became grave, and the Xuan Rank master's signature, the True Qi Gauze, appeared in an instant all around Ye Xiao's body. The golden Nine Yang True Qi wrapped around his body in the form of a thin veil!
