Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Playing with Fire and Getting Burned

Over here, things seemed peaceful and harmonious, but at Di Yelei’s side, there was a murderous atmosphere.

“You see, all these were discovered when we initially cleaned up the battlefield. But after bringing them back, we didn’t sort them out, so we didn’t notice anything unusual,” Di Yelei said, handing several items from his hand to Nan Tianzong.

“These strange-looking items have noticeable differences in color, apparently used by a certain organization to indicate their status. I’ve never seen them before, so I’ll have to investigate carefully. Have you ever seen them before?” Nan Tianzong said after taking a while to examine them.

“I’ve seen the identifier for the Li Sect, but I’ve never seen this one.” Di Yelei’s eyebrows furrowed as he stared at it for quite a while without figuring anything out.

Nan Tianzong thought for a moment, “How about this? I’ll take the identifier back and show it to them; maybe they’ll recognize it.”

As he spoke, he picked up the identifier and casually put it into his arms.

“Why don’t you leave a couple with me, and I’ll ask around as well?” Di Yelei suddenly thought of someone.

“Who can you ask?” Nan Tianzong raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Di Yelei smiled mysteriously, “I’ll ask him!”

The person Di Yelei referred to was actually Old Tang, the custodian of the armory. Ever since Di Yelei was promoted, the management of the armory had been handed over to Old Tang.

Nowadays, Old Tang ate and slept well and was in a good mood with hardly any worries.

At the moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, shaking them nonstop. Catching a glimpse of Di Yelei’s figure, he thought he was dreaming.

Unable to help himself, he pointed at his nose and scolded, “You call yourself my disciple. After learning all my skills, you ran off without a word and left me all alone here.”

Back when Di Yelei first came to the armory, he knew nothing about it. It was Old Tang who taught him how to use the weapons in the armory and the so-called body-strengthening martial arts he once mentioned.

But ever since Di Yelei left the armory, it was true that he had never come back even once.

No wonder Old Tang would speak like that.

“Ah! I rarely get to enjoy a light drink, and you’re here to disturb me! You only show up when I’m asleep; how come I never see you during the day?”

A series of accusations made Di Yelei’s face turn red!

He hurriedly bowed to the ground, “Old Tang, it’s me, Di, coming to visit you!”

“Di… young lad?”

Old Tang finally opened his bleary, drunken eyes, stared at Di Yelei for a while, then suddenly came to his senses with a start.

“Captain Di, you… why are you here? You…”

“Old Tang, you’re my honorable teacher. To have a teacher for a day is to have a father for a lifetime. Your words make me feel ashamed, truly ashamed!” Di Yelei hung his head in embarrassment.

Old Tang stood for a while, then finally relaxed and laughed, “Di lad, it really is you?”

Hearing the term “Di lad,” Di Yelei was pleased and immediately revealed his trademark honest smile, “Yes, Old Tang, it’s Ye Lei here to visit you.”
