The White Phoenix team left the lobby of the front building of the West Wind Inn.
Li Shuyi said, "What should we do now? We've been chased out, so we can't get any information."
Bai Xiaowen was calm. "If you want to get information, you don't have to stay in the front building."
Under the guidance of Bai Xiaowen, the four of them came to the kitchen in the backyard of the West Wind Inn. Bai Xiaowen said to his three teammates, "Wait here for me."
Soon, Bai Xiaowen came back with a man in coarse clothes with a wretched appearance. Judging from his clothes, he was a waiter of the West Wind Inn.
The waiter panicked. "Please … please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child …"
Bai Xiaowen patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I just want to ask you some questions. If you're honest, I'll let you go. If you don't tell the truth, you're dead. "
The waiter nodded, trembling.
"What are you responsible for in the West Wind Inn?"
"I … am responsible for delivering hot water."
"The rooms in the inn are divided into A, B, C, and III. Which room do you deliver hot water to? "
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the first-class room."
The West Wind Inn was the largest inn in Changxi City. The rooms were also divided into A, B, C, and III, all of which were called first-class rooms. Among them, the first-class rooms were the most spacious, had a complete set of necessities, and cost the most. At this point in time, those who were qualified to stay in the first-class rooms were all people of high status in the martial arts world.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. In fact, when he caught the waiter, he had already investigated his background. Bai Xiaowen already knew the answers to the two questions just now. He just wanted to test whether the waiter was honest.
Bai Xiaowen then grabbed a piece of wood and drew a lotus pattern on the ground. "Have you seen this pattern before?"
The waiter scratched his head. "Yes, I think so."
"Where did you see it?"
"It's … it's from a group of guests who came yesterday. Some of the guests wore clothes with this pattern."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and drew a pattern of a long sword piercing through the Yin-Yang fish again. "What about this? Have you seen it before? "
"Yes, yes."
These two patterns were the symbols of Jiuhua Sect and Infinite Sword Sect respectively. Bai Xiaowen understood that after these two sects were defeated, their leaders should have fled to Changxi City and joined forces with the masters of Tang Valley led by Wisdom King of Tang Valley.
Bai Xiaowen continued to draw the logos of the other five sects for the shop assistant to identify.
After identifying the last pattern, Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now. If you dare to reveal even half a word about what happened today, I will exterminate your entire family. "
The shop assistant hurriedly slipped away as if he had been granted amnesty.
Qiao Rui said, "The last threat doesn't seem to have much power."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Even if this guy tells the righteous people about the kidnapping, they can only infer that there are spies from the Blood God Palace in Changxi City. They are not the government, so they can't lock down the entire city to search. We have disguised ourselves, so it won't be easy to find us. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "The information we have now is that not all of the seven righteous sects have come to Changxi City. Currently, only the Infinite Sword Sect, Jiuhua Sect, and Thunder Fire Sect have appeared. This is easy to understand. Wisdom King of Tang Valley is famous, but not all of the seven righteous sects are convinced by him. Some sects are pretentious and don't want to be commanded by the masters of Tang Valley overseas. For example, the leader of Kunlun Sect, Xie Qingrong, is a Level-8 Lord. He is probably a master of the same template as Wisdom King, so it's normal to not be convinced by him. "
"Zuo Yunxuan is also a Lord, but he brought the remaining masters of the Infinite Sword Sect here," Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Zuo Yunxuan is the initiator of this siege on the Blood God Palace. If we don't take this opportunity to destroy the Blood God Palace, we will definitely become their first target for revenge. In order to choose the lesser of two evils, Zuo Yunxuan naturally threw his reputation aside. Next, we just need to investigate a bit more and see how many of the Three Moon Emissaries and Seven Stars Emissaries from Tang Valley are here. Then, this intelligence work can be considered complete. "
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen frowned imperceptibly and said in a low voice, "Someone is following us. Let's go."
The four members of the White Phoenix Squad quickly left the West Wind Inn.
After walking for a while, Qiao Rui suddenly said, "That person doesn't seem to be very good at following us."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and led his teammates to a remote alley. They held their breath and laid in ambush.
When the footsteps of the person following them approached and stepped into the alley, Li Shuyi strode out and unsheathed his sword. Han Xu also took a step forward and blocked the other party's path.
"Ah!" The person was like a frightened deer. He stepped back and almost fell into Han Xu's arms.
"Huh?!"
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised that the person following them was actually Tu Mengjiao, a disciple of the Infinite Sword Sect. He almost said "It's you", but fortunately, he reacted quickly and suppressed his surprised expression. He just said lightly, "Miss, why are you following us?"
The panic on Tu Mengjiao's face disappeared. She carefully looked at Bai Xiaowen, which made Bai Xiaowen a little scared.
The three teammates didn't know what to do. If it was an ordinary person following them, they could just kill him directly. However, Tu Mengjiao had spoken up for Bai Xiaowen at the West Wind Inn. It would be too unreasonable to kill her like this.
"Young Master Bai, is that you?" Tu Mengjiao stared into Bai Xiaowen's eyes.
Bai Xiaowen lowered his eyelids and shook his head. "Miss, you've got the wrong person."
"I won't be mistaken," Tu Mengjiao mustered up her courage and said, "When you left the inn, your back was exactly the same as when you left the 10,000 Snakes Valley … Even if you've changed your appearance, your eyes won't lie."
"You can recognize me just from my back?" Bai Xiaowen frowned and felt helpless. He knew from Tu Mengjiao's expression and tone that she wasn't faking it. He no longer hid and said in a low voice, "Miss Tu, since you've seen through my disguise, I have no choice but to offend you."
Li Shuyi's one-handed sword was pointed at Tu Mengjiao's back.
At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly sounded. "Stop!"
A strong wind blew and the sword light was like frost. Li Shuyi was forced to retreat again and again by a round of rapid attacks. In the blink of an eye, Tu Mengjiao was dragged by a big hand and then protected behind the person who came.
The person who came was none other than Elder Wu Ang of the Infinite Sword Sect. His beard fluttered and his face was full of anger. He scolded in a low voice, "Bai Xiaowen, how dare you come here! You don't know how many people here want to eat your flesh! "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Sure enough, I knew that Miss Tu wouldn't come here alone."
Tu Mengjiao seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly said, "No, I didn't know that Elder Wu would follow me …"
