Perhaps he wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Chen Yuan, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy. After all, they had just engaged in a friendly collaboration, and Chen Yuan's authority could prove helpful to him.
Otherwise, considering the commotion he made with those dozens of riders, it would be difficult to leave Qingzhou alive.
Or maybe Yan Kai simply wanted to express his gratitude to Chen Yuan. Given the prowess Chen Yuan had demonstrated before, capturing him would not be a difficult task.
Yan Kai had also extinguished the thought of clashing with Chen Yuan.
As he sized up the burly man before him, Chen Yuan's gaze lingered for a moment on his full black beard, which bore some resemblance to the Li Kui described in tales. The atmosphere between the two stalled for a moment before Chen Yuan took the initiative to ask knowingly:
"Village Chief Yan, instead of fleeing, why have you come here?"
Yan Kai replied, "I've come to ask for Chen Patrol Envoy's assistance once more."
