Xiao Chen's eyes glinted when he saw the middle-aged man nodding. "Tell me quickly."
The Forgotten Worries Restaurant had really just found out. One must know that the Nangong Family had yet to find any traces of the Green Horse Gang, but the Forgotten Worries Restaurant already had clues. It could be seen that the Forgotten Worries Restaurant's intelligence system was much stronger than the Nangong Family's.
All the major forces in the south of the Tianfeng Prefecture had completely underestimated the Forgotten Worries Restaurant. They only thought that the Forgotten Worries Restaurant was just a place of romance. Who would have thought that the Forgotten Worries Restaurant had such a powerful intelligence system?
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, the middle-aged man did not hesitate. Before coming here, Su Zhen had told him that there was no need to hide anything from Xiao Chen. Whatever Xiao Chen asked, the middle-aged man answered honestly.
"Young Master, we have indeed found the whereabouts of the Qingma Gang. We have also confirmed that the disciples of the Tianfeng Shengzong and Miss Nangong Yan are not in danger. They are still alive, but …"
Not only did they find the whereabouts of the Qingma Gang, but they also confirmed the safety of the disciples of the Tianfeng Shengzong and Nangong Yan. Xiao Chen was naturally elated. However, when he heard the middle-aged man's last sentence and saw the awkward expression on his face, Xiao Chen sharply sensed something and asked in a deep voice.
"But what?"
"But according to the current intelligence, this matter might be related to the Tianyue Sacred Sect. Before the Qingma Gang kidnapped Miss Nangong Yan and her group, we secretly learned that the leader of the Qingma Gang, Zhao Qiang, had secretly met with people from the Tianyue Sacred Sect. A few days later, the Qingma Gang kidnapped Miss Nangong Yan and her group," the middle-aged man replied truthfully to Xiao Chen's question.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen fell into silence. Tianyue Sacred Sect … Could it be that the Qingma Gang kidnapped Nangong Yan and her group under the orders of the Tianyue Sacred Sect? If that was the case, it would be strange.
He didn't expect the Tianyue Sacred Sect to be involved. If it was just the Qingma Gang, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, if the Tianyue Sacred Sect was involved, then it would be troublesome. After all, the Tianyue Sacred Sect's strength wasn't inferior to the Tianfeng Shengzong. Most importantly, why would the Tianyue Sacred Sect kidnap Nangong Yan and her group? After the kidnapping, they didn't mention any conditions and didn't kill Nangong Yan and Nangong Yan's group.
It had been almost half a month since the Nangong Yan and her group were kidnapped. However, according to the information from Wang You Lou, the Nangong Yan and her group were still safe. In other words, the Qingma Gang, or the people behind the Qingma Gang, didn't want the Nangong Yan and her group's lives.
This was strange. If they didn't want money or lives, then why did they kidnap Nangong Yan and her group?
Xiao Chen pondered in his heart, but he couldn't find any clues. After a while, he couldn't think of any big possibilities. He could only raise his head and ask the middle-aged man.
"Can you find out who the person from the Tianyue Sacred Sect who was in contact with Zhao Qiang is?"
Currently, they only knew that Zhao Qiang had been in contact with people from the Tianyue Sacred Sect, but they didn't know who it was. Facing Xiao Chen's inquiry, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
"I'm afraid not in the short term. Unless we can capture Zhao Qiang alive and ask him about the identity of this person, there's no other way. That person from the Tianyue Sacred Sect is very cautious and didn't leave any clues."
Even Wang You Lou couldn't find out the identity of that person from the Tianyue Sacred Sect. Xiao Chen could only sigh helplessly.
Xiao Chen had a faint intuition that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed. Behind the seemingly simple kidnapping, there might be some hidden motive.
However, other than the Qingma Gang, he didn't have any clues. After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"Many thanks. I'll have to trouble you to pass a message to your Hall Master. Tell him that we thank Wang You Lou for helping us this time. If there's anything you need help with in the future, your Hall Master can look for me. I won't refuse."
"Of course. I'll take my leave first." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the middle-aged man returned a bow and then left in a flash.
His movement technique was indeed good. Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Xiao Chen's brows furrowed again.
That night, he found Gu Lingyao and truthfully told her the information he had obtained from Wang You Lou. Hearing that there was the shadow of the Tianyue Sacred Sect behind this, Gu Lingyao and Xiao Chen both frowned.
However, without any clues, even Gu Lingyao couldn't guess what the Tianyue Sacred Sect wanted to do. In the end, after a round of discussion, the two of them decided to temporarily ignore the Tianyue Sacred Sect's motive. The most important thing was to rescue the Nangong Yan and the others. Moreover, the Nangong Yan might know something.
Perhaps they would be able to find out the Tianyue Sacred Sect's motive after rescuing the Nangong Yan. Even if they didn't know, rescuing the Nangong Yan and the others was the main objective of this mission. As for other matters, they could put them aside for now.
After making the decision, Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao prepared to leave immediately.
After staying in Eight Direction Stockade for three days, they originally planned to use Li Goudan's identity to do some things. However, it seemed that there was no need for that now. The Wang You Lou was very efficient.
Taking advantage of the night, Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao left Eight Direction Stockade. However, before leaving, Xiao Chen left a letter for Li Goudan. The content was very simple.
"Brother Goudan, I have something to do. I will leave first. We will definitely meet again in the future. Don't worry."
He didn't disturb Li Goudan. Of course, when Xiao Chen said that they would meet again, he would take Li Goudan and his father away from the Fengyue Mountains after solving the problem of the Nangong Yan and the others.
After getting along with each other for a few days, Xiao Chen was sure that Li Goudan wasn't a bad person. Such a person didn't belong to the Fengyue Mountains. Since they were fated to meet and he had the ability, he naturally had to lend a helping hand.
Xiao Chen was not a compassionate and compassionate person, and he would never talk about helping the world and saving people.
There were only two reasons why he helped Li Goudan. Firstly, Li Goudan wasn't a bad person. On the contrary, he was very naive. Xiao Chen liked such a person very much. Secondly, it was probably fate.
It was fate that he was able to meet Li Goudan in the Fengyue Mountains. Since they were fated to meet, then what harm was there in lending a helping hand?
Xiao Chen and Gu Lingyao left. They found the three Dao Emperor Realm experts of the Family Nangong outside Eight Direction Stockade and told them about what had happened. The group of them rushed towards the Qingma Gang's secret base.
After a night of silence, Li Goudan saw the letter Xiao Chen left for him when he arrived at the main hall early in the morning. A wisp of sorrow flashed through Li Goudan's eyes as he silently read the contents of the letter. However, he quickly returned to normal.
Xiao Chen said that they would meet again. Li Goudan chose to believe in Xiao Chen. Since they would meet again, then what was there to be sad about?
