Chapter 134: Meeting Training Head
Ye Yang considered the complex task. Both potential approaches offered an identical reward, but neither seemed easily achievable.
He called the system, asking, "What are these steps? Is the system trying to assist me? What does this mean? Show the task."

To Ye Yang, task one means going against Training head. though he wished to do that but right now he is weaker than him. But seeing system helping him makes him relief that with the help of system he can eliminate the Training head.
He looked at the steps,
Develop a meticulous plan to eliminate the target. Intensify cultivation practices. Forge strategic alliances. Seek assistance from a higher-level cultivator. Prevent the corruption of the Escort Agency Head's wife.
"Developing a meticulous plan to eliminate the target, I can handle. Intensifying cultivation practices is also within my capabilities. However, forging strategic alliances and seeking assistance from a higher-level cultivator is something I'm uncertain about. Who could aid me in this endeavour? The only powerful figure I know is Hell."
He sighed, "let's forgot about it, task one is the only thing I can choose, as for task two, only stupid person will choose this." He then looked at steps of task two.
Cultivate a friendship with the Training Head. Participate in his depraved activities. Offer assistance in his schemes. Corrupt women on behalf of the Training Head. Corrupt the Escort Agency Head's wife.
"Had it not been for his wicked schemes, I might have considered cultivating a friendship with him. However, knowing his past actions and future intentions, I would rather make him my enemy than my friend."
Ye Yang with those thought headed towards Escort Agency. He enters the building and directed towards the office door but stopped by the receptionist, "you there… stop, where do you think you are going?"
She was new at the Job and didn't know Ye Yang's identity. As he was typically low-profile, she hadn't encountered him before. Additionally, his visit to the Association occurred late at night, around 2-3 AM, when the receptionist was absent.
Ye Yang stopped, stunned. "What? I'm going there to meet Uncle Barad," he said, his voice steady.
The receptionist raised an eyebrow. "How can you call the Head by his name and even use personification, calling him 'uncle'? You think I don't know if he really has a nephew in this city?"
Ye Yang was taken aback by her sharp tone. "But—" he began to explain, but she cut him off.
"Do you have a meeting pass? If not, then leave before things go wrong for you," she warned.
Ye Yang shook his head, "No," he said, his voice firm.
"Then leave," she replied sternly, "I'll overlook your mistake for trespassing."
Ye Yang was growing increasingly frustrated. He knew that he had to be patient, but the receptionist's attitude was testing his limits. He decided to take a different approach.
"Listen," he said, his voice calm but firm, "I'm not here to cause trouble. I have important business with the Agency Head and we are acquaintance. If you don't believe me, you can call him yourself."
But she has never seen him nor can she just call the Escort Head because someone claims to be an acquaintance. She decided to ask, "You don't have a meeting pass, so I can't let you enter inside. But if you show me proof that you know the Head, then only I'll contact him."
Ye Yang looked at her with wide eyes. "Are you serious? How can I prove that? Isn't the best option to contact him and you'll know the truth? Why make things complicated for me and for yourself?"
Then he remembered, "If he is busy, then contact Aunt Ya. She will tell you who I am."
"Madam Ya," she whispered the name. "He's even calling Madam Ya as Aunt Ya. What if he really is related?" Not wanting to escalate the situation, she decided to take the risk.
"Fine," she said, reluctantly. "I'll call Madam Ya. But if you're lying, you'll be sorry." She then used a communication artifact, infusing it with her Qi. Soon, she received a message from the other side.
"she says you can come in," she said, her tone still sceptical.
Ye Yang thanked her and proceeded towards the Escort Agency Head's office. As he entered, he couldn't help but feel an unease for some reason. As he entered the room, he found the Escort Agency Head sitting with his wife and a middle-aged man with a cunning face and moustache looking at Ye Yang with a curious expression.
He was a tall, imposing figure with a sharp intelligence. He looked at Ye Yang with a warm smile. But Ye Yang knew a cunning old man was hiding behind that smiling face.
"Ah, Nephew Yang," Escort agency head, Barad said, "it's good to see you. Have you returned from your trip?"
Ye Yang explained his situation, detailing the death of the Elite Escort warrior. Though he hid the detail of them being attacked by demonic cultivators, he told Barad that they were killed by demonic beasts. Barad listened intently, his expression growing more serious with each word.
He hides the details in front of Training head and decided to tell the truth when he's gone.
"I see," he said, when Ye Yang had finished. "Anger can be seen in his face." There was a heavy aura rising from his body, but Aunt Ya reassured her husband, "I know the loss is heavy, but this is not the time to think irrationally."
"Thank you, Aunt Ya. I'm sorry but I couldn't save their lives," he said. He then handed the dead Elite Escort warrior's identity medallion and belongings to Uncle Barad.
she smiled. "Don't worry, Ye Yang. Though the loss was big but I'm happy that you are safe, otherwise, I couldn't face your mother."
She smiled. "Don't worry, Ye Yang. Though the loss was big, I'm happy that you're safe. Otherwise, I couldn't face your mother." Ye Yang thanked her.
The moment became sorrowful, but the Training Head broke the silence, "Brother Barad, why aren't you introducing your nephew to me?"
Barad thought the Training Head was trying to change the negative environment into a positive one, so he smiled. "Oh yes, this is Ye Yang, my wife's friend's son, the fourth young master of the Ye clan." He turned towards Ye Yang, "Ye Yang, this is the Training Head of your Ye clan."
Ye Yang greeted him, and the Training Head nodded. "Oh, here I thought why your name sounded familiar. You are our fourth young master. I should be the one who should greet you." He greeted Ye Yang with a slight bow.
Seeing his smiling face, Ye Yang couldn't help but think twice. "Is he really the wicked, lustful guy?" He felt that the guy was either good at deceiving or there was some misunderstanding. But then he thought, "Rumours can be wrong, but the system cannot be wrong."
Ye Yang, despite his doubts, continued to interact with the Training Head. The man seemed genuinely interested in Ye Yang's progress and offered advice on cultivation techniques.
Ye Yang waited for him to leave, but the Training Head didn't. So, he decided to leave and come back later. "Uncle, Aunt, I'll be back later. I need to do some work," he said.
He came for two things and only one thing remained, so he decided to wait and visit them later when the Training Head had left the Escort Agency.
As he walked through the streets, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He glanced around, but saw nothing unusual. Yet, a sense of unease lingered.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was the same young woman who had confronted him earlier. She lunged at him, her claws extended.
Ye Yang barely managed to dodge her attack. He drew his sword, ready to defend himself. A fierce battle ensued, the clash of steel echoing through the night.
