Chapter 380: Talents are fought over by two parties, and the Aradaki faction is getting a bargain
"Mr. Ye Li, why did you come to Inazuma, and now during the lockdown, didn't Senior Sister tell you?"
"You mean Yan Fei? She did mention it in your letter, but it was the Lantern Festival at that time, so she didn't go into detail. Could it be that the lockdown order was issued earlier than what was reported?"
At this time, in front of a ramen stall, Ye Li met Jiuqi Shinobu who was passing by, and then sat down in front of the ramen stall to talk. At the same time, he asked the owner of the ramen stall for two bowls of ramen. After all, he couldn't just sit for free.
"Hahahahaha, Ninja, is this the master you were talking about? You look very handsome, are you interested in joining our Aradaki sect? Once you join, no one will dare to bully you, I say."
Ye Li, who was confirming the information with Jiuqi Shinobu at this moment, turned to look at Ara Taki Ichito, who was laughing excitedly at the other side of the table, and then turned to look at Jiuqi Shinobu, who was covering his face, and said:
"This is the person you mentioned you were going to give a gift to. Why does he look so...unreliable?"
Ye wanted to say that this person was a bit stupid, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud.
"Hey, young man, what do you mean? I invited you out of kindness, please don't be so soft-hearted."
"Boss, that's not how you use the word."
After Jiuqi Shinobu's mediation, Ye Li and Araki Ichido officially got to know each other, and at the same time, Ye also formally brought up the topic of the other party's invitation.
"Are there any benefits to joining your gang?"
"Oh, you are so good at recognizing talent, of course there are benefits, but... but..."
Aratake Ichito was stuck in his voice for just a second, and then he immediately turned his head to the side of Kuki Shinobu's ear and asked in a very small voice:
"Well... well, Shinobi, do you know what benefits our Aradaki sect has? This guy asked a very tricky question."
"Boss, he has a proper job after all. How can you just recruit him into your gang? What's more, his words were a tactful refusal. Didn't you see that he was laughing at you?"
"Ah? It means he is playing a trick on me."
"Okay, boss, if you don't want to join, then don't join. At least we can get to know each other and make friends. The super ghost beetle I bought for you was his masterpiece."
Arata Ichito, who was originally a little angry, was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, his eyes were shining, staring at Ye Li who had finished eating ramen, his hands clenched excitedly, and said in an excited tone:
"Brother...Oh no, Master! Your Super Demon Beetle made it invincible in the Inazuma Demon Beetle world, but it was destroyed by Kujo Tengu a few days ago. Master is in Inazuma right now, please make me an identical Demon Beetle. I will give it to Mora, but if not, I will work for you for a few days."
"Ah this, Miss Shinobu, how long has your boss been in this state?"
"Mr. Ye Li, don't worry about what my boss says. I will help pay for the ghost beetle."
"That won't do, Ninja. I asked the master to do this for me. How can I let you pay for it? Although the financial power is in your hands, you can't spend the money carelessly, especially the money from the Arawaki faction."
Arata Ichito instantly became serious, standing straight, with his hands on his hips, looking at Hisagi Shinobu with a very serious expression.
Faced with Aratake Ichito's persistence in this regard, Jiuqi Shinobu was defeated and took a step back helplessly. Under the white face covered by the mask, a smile appeared, and he said with a little joy in his tone:
"Well, since the boss has said so, you will have to pay for the 5 Mora cost yourself."
"Well...um, Shinobi, why don't you help pay the bill?"
"That won't do, Boss. As a man, you can't shirk your promise. You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
"Hahahaha! How could that be? I'm your boss. I'll do what I say. I'll go out and get the money now."
Looking at Yidou's awkward smile and the movement of turning around to escape immediately, Ye Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said:
"Okay, brother Yidou, since you are so persistent, I can make you the ghost beetle you mentioned for free. All you need is for you to do one thing for me."
"Really? Master, that's great. Tell me. If there's anything I can do, I won't refuse."
Yidou patted his chest and smiled confidently, his heart was already bursting with joy. He was so happy that he could get a new mechanical ghost beetle for free by doing a small thing.
“The task I am going to assign to you is very simple. In a week, I will publicize the business activities and behavioral concepts of Wangsheng Hall.
Please help me find out some information about funeral customs in the area. The more detailed the better. In addition to the ghost beetle, I will also give you a good thing."
"No problem. We in the Aradaki sect are the best at getting information, right, Ninja?"
Seeing Aratake Ichito winking at him frantically for the ghost beetle and the mysterious prize, Jiuqi Shinobu sighed helplessly and echoed:
“I did have a professional photo in a funeral home. If you need the most detailed information, I can go to my old employer and ask for a copy of the information.
But let's make it clear in advance that I will have custody of the ghost beetle and another unknown object. After all, this is considered a new asset of the Aradaki faction."
"Isn't this right? Shinobi, I fought for this opportunity, but now you're keeping it. How can I use it?"
"Boss, if you hadn't brought it with you last time, would Miss Kujo have taken the opportunity to break it? It would be better to give it to me for safekeeping, so you don't have to use it to bully children."
"That's not bullying, that's a fair duel."
"Okay, Boss. I have the fastest way to get news. Don't you want to get the desired ghost beetle as soon as possible?"
Faced with Kuki Shinobu's tempting words, Arataki Ichito finally agreed. The feeling of being invincible among the children was quite pleasant.
When both parties reached an agreement and signed the contract, Ye Li said goodbye to Zheping, who had not interrupted him, and the two people from the Arakaki faction, and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
"Tepei, just say whatever you want to say. It's not good to keep it to yourself."
"Um...Mr. Ye Li, do you know Miss Jiuqi Shinobu?"
"Isn't it obvious? I knew her before when I was in Liyue. I helped her when we first met, which is why we have such a close relationship."
"So that's how it is. When Miss Kuki Shinobu came to Kaiji Island to deliver goods, I saw her in a far place. She could spot me from such a distance at that time."
Zheping was relieved. He had thought that he would be recognized as a rebel, but now he saw that it was an acquaintance of Mr. Ye Li. The other party didn't do anything when he looked at him. He knew that he should have a limit to worrying, and now he was no longer nervous.
"Well, after all, she is someone favored by the Tenryo Bugyo. Your Lord Coral Palace will definitely like talents like Miss Shinobu."
"Is that so? No wonder Master Coral Palace went there in person to receive the goods. This is the reason."
"As the saying goes, the talent that both the shogunate and the rebels wanted ended up falling into the hands of my brother Dou. It can be considered a trick of fate."
