"Oh, okay, you can go out first." Yi Dingxiang looked up at Chen Yang and He Xiran, then smiled and let the waitress leave.

"Okay, Mr. Yi."

The waitress bowed and left, leaving only Chen Yang, Yi Dingxiang, and He Xiran in the office.

"Please have a seat, both of you." Yi Dingxiang stood up to greet them.

"Sure." Chen Yang did not hesitate and went directly to sit at the desk with He Xiran.

Seeing this, Yi Dingxiang also sat down.

"I don’t believe I’ve met either of you, correct? What brings you here?" Yi Dingxiang asked calmly, crossing his hands on the desk and looking at Chen Yang and He Xiran.

Before coming, Chen Tianmin had specifically instructed Chen Yang.

The person in front of them could be trusted; there was no need for excessive probing. They just needed to make the other party believe in their identity.

So Chen Yang did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Yi, we don’t know you, but a senior asked us to find you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Dingxiang’s expression subtly changed.

"A senior?"

"Yes, he holds you in high regard and mentioned he left some items with you. He urgently needs those items now and has entrusted me to retrieve them." Chen Yang said slowly.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Yi Dingxiang’s expression changed significantly.

But the changes were well-hidden, barely noticeable unless one carefully looked.

"What’s the name of the senior you’re referring to?" Yi Dingxiang asked after a brief silence.

Without hesitation, Chen Yang immediately stated the name of the former Alliance Hierarch.

Upon hearing it, Yi Dingxiang’s expression changed prominently.

"I don’t know the person you’re referring to!"

And he outright refused Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was not surprised by this reaction.

After all, the Chou Alliance had just experienced significant events, and it’s normal for him to be cautious.

"Mr. Yi, take a look at this."

Chen Yang took out the stamp given by Chen Tianming from his pocket.

Seeing the stamp, Yi Dingxiang’s expression changed again.

He took the stamp and examined it thoroughly, confirming there were no issues, he took a deep breath and said, "You really were sent by the big brother."

Chen Yang smiled slightly, "Yes."

"How are the big brother and others? Is the Chou Alliance still safe?" Confirming that Chen Yang was indeed sent by the Chou Alliance, Yi Dingxiang’s demeanor softened, filled with concern for the alliance’s situation.

Seeing Yi Dingxiang like this, Chen Yang internally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his uncle hadn’t misjudged the man, Yi Dingxiang is indeed reliable.

"The Hierarch was sadly killed by Blood Bat Hall, but some of our members are okay for now." He Xiran, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"What?! Big brother he..." Yi Dingxiang was astonished, seemingly very shocked.

"Mr. Yi, our Chou Alliance was betrayed by a traitor, suffering heavy losses. The Hierarch stayed behind to block Blood Bat Hall and was besieged and killed in order to save us. We urgently need cultivation resources to regroup and for revenge." When mentioning the past, tears welled in He Xiran’s eyes.

After Yi Dingxiang’s astonishment, he too showed a pained expression.

"Big brother... how could he just leave like this?" Yi Dingxiang said sorrowfully.

"Mr. Yi, the Hierarch died covering for us, rest assured, our Chou Alliance will definitely avenge him! Once we recover, we will make Blood Bat Hall pay." He Xiran said solemnly.

"Yes, Big brother spent his life fighting Blood Bat Hall, not avenging this makes me unworthy as Yi Dingxiang!" Yi Dingxiang said, gritting his teeth, eyes red.

After a few conversations, Yi Dingxiang’s agitated emotions also calmed down.

At this point, Chen Yang brought up the matter of resources again.

The provincial city was still very dangerous, filled with Blood Bat Hall members.

To avoid dragging things out, leaving for Liuhe village as soon as possible was the safest.

When Chen Yang mentioned the resources left by the former Hierarch, Yi Dingxiang nodded, confirming there was indeed such a thing.

"Big brother did leave some items with me, but they’re not at the office; I’ve stored them in a villa on the outskirts for safekeeping," Yi Dingxiang said.

Upon hearing about the outskirts, He Xiran and Chen Yang immediately felt much safer.

"Outskirts? So you’re suggesting?" Chen Yang asked.

Yi Dingxiang thought for a moment and said, "Right now, the provincial city is filled with Blood Bat Hall members, making everything unsafe. How about this? You provide me a location, I can arrange for someone to transport all resources there under the guise of delivery."

"This..." Upon hearing this, He Xiran didn’t think much, if it can be delivered as company cargo it indeed seemed safer.

But Chen Yang felt it was somewhat inappropriate, stopping He Xiran, "Mr. Yi, the outskirts are already safe enough, no need for such actions. I think just providing me with the villa’s location will do, tonight we can arrange a time, I’ll get someone to retrieve it."

"That works too." Yi Dingxiang agreed, then said, "Maybe I should arrange for you to rest first, and we can reconnect tonight."

"No need, Mr. Yi, Xiran and I still have things to handle here, we won’t impose further." Chen Yang declined again.

"Alright then."

Yi Dingxiang didn’t say much more, after simply arranging the evening’s plan, Chen Yang and He Xiran left Yi Dingxiang’s company.

"Chen Yang, why not let Mr. Yi deliver directly? Wouldn’t that be safer?"
