You Call This A D-Level Ability?

Chapter 1118 Are you right, Mr. Zhao Peng?

"Um……"

Facing Xu Ye's question, Xiaotan thought seriously.

As a qualified intermediary, Uncle Rui has already started preparing lunch for them.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Tan said: "Brother Ye wants to find a retired official, but he cannot know his specific location."

"This also means that the official must have kept his name anonymous and erased as much traces of his existence as possible."

"The five households are all occupied by elderly people, which means they are roughly in this age range."

"If the other party is someone who has retired for a long time, there is no point in looking for him until now."

"In this case, the two families with cats and dogs can be excluded, because their pets look to be over eight years old, which means they lived here a long time ago."

"Not bad." Xu did not deny it and nodded approvingly.

"For the same reason, since this official wants to hide his information, he probably doesn't have any family members around him. After all, his family members have to go out frequently, so the information will definitely be obvious."

Xiao Tan continued to analyze and had already eliminated three of the five villas.

"Then there are only two villas left that meet the requirements."

"Which one do you think it will be?" Xu Ye asked.

Xiao Tan thought for two seconds and pointed to the villa he came from: "I think it's the one with a butler who is reading the newspaper."

"Oh?" Xu Ye raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you think it's the other one?"

"Because although that old man is practicing cultivation, he seems to be completely unable to hide his energy fluctuations." Xiaotan said, "This also means that he doesn't know how to practice at all."

"I don't think you are the person you are looking for if you can do something like this that can easily reveal your identity."

After she finished speaking her opinion, she raised her head and looked at Xu Ye, with a look in her eyes that said, "Come on, praise me!" "Am I right in my analysis?"

Xu Ye smiled lightly and touched her head: "Half right."

"For the remaining half, read the book "Criminal Psychology" I gave you before, and you will know why."

"You deal with this agency for a while, and I'll go out for a while."

After saying that, he pulled away and left the main entrance.

Not long after he left, Uncle Rui came out of the kitchen with the food on his side and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, Ms. Xu, come and try my cooking."

“The kitchen here uses high-quality craftsmanship, whether it’s…”

He suddenly found that Xiaotan was the only one left in the room, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Xiaotan turned around and smiled: "Uncle Rui, please introduce me first."

"Brother, he wants to go inside the community to see the scenery and layout. He will be back soon."

Xu Ye walked with a relaxed pace, walking towards the destination in the extremely spacious aisle as if walking.

There is an internal park throughout the community, with various plants and luxuriant plants, and there are even outdoor swimming pools and other facilities.

Although the number of people is sparse, the overall environment is quite beautiful.

He has been remembered by the guard when he entered, so there will be no problem even if he walks in the community.

Not long after, he arrived at the villa where his destination was.

The door of the villa is closed, and from the fence next to it, you can vaguely see the middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who is still pruning trees and taking care of the plants.

He walked to the door and knocked three times.

After a while, the door was opened. The middle-aged man had put down the trimmer in his hand and looked at him for a while.

"Mr. Xu Ye, right?" He said Xu Ye's name directly without any surprise, "Mr. Zhao has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Ye raised his eyebrows, feeling more and more that Zhao Peng, the curator of the art museum, was a bit interesting.

Not only can he know his arrival in advance, but he can even be prepared for it.

"What is this?" He walked into the door with a chuckle, "Deliberately leaving this vague

"That's right." The middle-aged man closed the door casually.

"What's the result of the test?" Xu Ye said, "Am I qualified?"

"You have to ask Mr. Zhao." The middle-aged man walked up to him and said, "Please follow me."

The two of them entered the villa one after another, and soon came to the old man holding the newspaper.

Xu Ye looked at the old man lying on the recliner for a few seconds, and then bowed and saluted: "Junior Xu Ye, I have met Mr."

"Well." The old man put down the newspaper and glanced at him up and down, "You are finally here."

"It came two years later than I expected."

After the middle-aged man led the people there, he turned around and looked for teacups. After a while, he fetched two teacups and poured tea for the two of them.

"Due to some special reasons, I am unable to arrive in advance. I hope you will forgive me." Xu Ye was polite and calm.

"You are referring to the fact that you left Longxia Academy and joined the Void Demon Council." The old man gently picked up the tea next to him and took a sip. He knew everything about Xu Ye very well.

"Of course I also know your reason for coming."

"You want to know what happened to Tang Tan and where her body was sent, right?"

"More than that, I also want to know your identity and the purpose of doing all this." Xu Ye raised his head and said, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.

From Tang Tan's death to now, he finally caught the slightest opportunity to touch the truth.

"You should know that with your current meager strength, even if you know the truth, what can you do?" The old man said slowly and calmly.

"Then you should have heard that if you want to destroy a building, you must start from the foundation." Xu Ye said with a calm expression, "It is precisely because of my low strength that I can destroy it without being noticed. Silently loosen all the foundations.”

"That way, when I grow up, I can easily destroy this building."

"Ha, interesting theory." The old man smiled and looked at Xu Ye with deep meaning, "Why do you think I went to all the trouble to help Tang Tan hide information and complete these things for her?"

"The essence of human interaction is exchange." Xu Ye said with a leisurely expression, "Parents take great care of their children in exchange for family affection and future support when they grow up."

"The care and concern between lovers is to obtain emotional sustenance and physical comfort from each other."

"Because of this, when the value between people no longer exists, the relationship will naturally break and disappear."

"People will also subjectively choose people who are of higher value to them."

“Although acquisition is not the purpose, it is the essence of objective existence.”

He raised his eyes and looked at the old man, "You were once an official, so naturally you understand this better than me."

"In other words, I think the reason why you help Tang Tan is not only for her ideas."

"Another important reason is that completing this matter will bring great benefits to you."

"And a simple analysis will tell you that the person who can bring you benefits is not Tang Tan, but me."

He waved his hand, and the elixirs he had previously refined in the alchemy room appeared in his palm, and they were all placed in a medicine box.

"And this thing, I think, is what you need most right now, and it is also the "benefit" I can bring to you."

"It's easy to talk to smart people." The old man smiled slightly and reached out to take the medicine box in Xu Ye's hand.

But Xu Ye suddenly grabbed the medicine box and pulled his hand back a few inches.

"I showed my sincerity, and you should show your sincerity, right?" He smiled at the old man in front of him, then turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who brought him to the room.

"Are you right, Mr. Zhao Peng?"
