Reaching Out to Befriend Him

"Mr. Ye, if it's inconvenient, forget I asked."

"I'll simply be at your beck and call." Liu Xinglong smiled awkwardly.

Ye Tian shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"It really is inconvenient."

"Because I don't have a phone."

Ye Tian had nearly forgotten that Earth was still in the most primitive stage of technological civilization.

People relied on phones to contact one another.

"I'll arrange for someone to bring you a phone right away, Mr. Ye."

This was a chance to curry favor with Ye Tian. How could Liu Xinglong let it slip?

"Bring me a couple of changes of clothes too," Ye Tian suddenly said.

He was the mighty Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor, yet he had been mistaken for a beggar several times today.

Ye Tian was at a loss for words.

Besides, he planned to go home and visit his parents tomorrow.

He really did need a change of clothes.

"Of course, Mr. Ye."

"May I ask where you live?"

"I'll have someone deliver the clothes straight to your home."

Liu Xinglong spoke in haste.

"Home?"

Ye Tian gazed into the distance at the firelight illuminating the surroundings, then shook his head.

"I don't have a home anymore."

Liu Xinglong was taken aback, then hurriedly said,

"I have a villa at Cloudmist Mountain Manor."

"If you don't mind it, Mr. Ye, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you!" Ye Tian nodded and readily accepted.

Ye Tian had always done as he pleased, acting on his whims.

Liu Xinglong had offered it of his own accord, and he did need a place to stay, so why wouldn't he accept?

After all, in the Immortal Realm, if you saw something good, you seized it.

Killing people for their treasures was perfectly commonplace.

Let alone something offered up of its owner's own accord.

Ye Tian felt no burden on his conscience.

Besides, he already owed Liu Xinglong a favor and didn't mind owing him a little more.

At worst, if Liu Xinglong ran into trouble someday, he could just save his life.

Seeing Ye Tian agree so readily, Liu Xinglong was both surprised and delighted.

It seemed he had already established a good relationship with Ye Tian.

"Mr. Ye, shall I take you over to have a look now?"

"If anything is missing, I'll have someone buy it immediately."

"All right!" Ye Tian nodded in agreement.

Liu Xinglong hurriedly waved to a black Maybach not far away.

The car started up and pulled to a stop beside Ye Tian.

Liu Xinglong personally opened the door and respectfully invited Ye Tian inside.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at Cloudmist Mountain Manor, the most renowned luxury villa complex in Jiangnan City.

The car stopped in front of a villa closest to the innermost part of the complex.

"Mr. Ye, this is the place."

Ye Tian got out and looked at the surroundings, nodding inwardly.

Cloudmist Mountain Manor sat at the foot of Cloudmist Mountain, right beside the shores of Still Lake.

Nestled between mountains and water, the place had fresh air all year round, with clouds and mist swirling about it like a fairyland.

It was a fine place for secluded cultivation.

The house was lavishly decorated, and all the furniture and furnishings were brand new.

Liu Xinglong had never stayed there once since buying it.

Ye Tian was very satisfied.

Before long, someone also brought over the clothes and phone.

Liu Xinglong had intended to invite Ye Tian to a meal, but Ye Tian politely declined.

"Let Zhang Jian, a security guard at Tiansheng Group, know."

"Have him bring my car here first thing tomorrow morning."

Ye Tian planned to go home and visit his parents tomorrow.

But he didn't know Zhang Jian's phone number, so he had to ask Liu Xinglong to notify him.

Liu Xinglong promptly agreed and chatted with Ye Tian for a while longer. Not daring to disturb him too much, he then took his leave.

Ye Tian had been busy from morning to night and was already a little tired.

He lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Jian drove over and waited at the door.

He was dumbstruck as he looked at the luxurious villa before him.

No wonder President Ye hadn't even blinked when he set the villa on fire yesterday.

So he had a better one all along!

Compared to this villa, the one burned down yesterday was a thatched hut!

As Zhang Jian looked on enviously, Ye Tian opened the door and came out.

"Good morning, President Ye!" Zhang Jian hurriedly greeted him.

Ye Tian nodded, but when his gaze fell on the car, he frowned and his expression darkened at once.
