There were many ways to write a secret letter. For example, using aminopyrine tablets mixed with water could also reveal the handwriting after special treatment. Another way was to use starch mixed with water and rice water and then lightly wipe it with iodophor to reveal the handwriting.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaojin chose to use onion juice only because it was a relatively simple method. Moreover, if someone wiped it with iodophor immediately, the handwriting would not be visible even if it was grilled over a fire.
After the onion juice was mixed with the paper, the ignition point was much lower than the paper. Therefore, the handwriting would turn brown after being grilled.
As Yang Xiaojin watched the paper crane slowly fly away, the anticipation in her heart seemed to have also flown away with it. She hoped it would bring her good news the next time it flew back.
…
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was walking in the wilderness with Zhou Yingxue. As the Wang Clan had been arresting suspicious people recently, the two of them felt that a car was too conspicuous, so they abandoned it.
They could have gotten their hands on two motorcycles, but in the end, neither of them knew how to ride them.
Ren Xiaosu had completed his quest to take them in. However, he was disappointed that the quest reward this time was only a Basic Skill Duplication Scroll and not a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll. In other words, he still did not have a scroll that could copy other people's superpowers.
However, that was not a big problem. The quest would always come again, and the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll would appear again.
The black market that Zhou Yingxue mentioned was located at the intersection of the Wang Clan, the Kong Clan, and the Zhou Clan. It was located in a ravine not too far away from Luoyang City.
Luoyang City happened to be under the control of the Qinghe Group. In fact, the Qinghe Group only had this one stronghold.
The manager of the black market had chosen to be located near Luoyang City. On one hand, it was because it was convenient for the people from the underworld of the three consortiums to come here to buy things.
On the other hand, the Qinghe Group had never bothered themselves with such matters. As long as it did not cause too much of a ruckus in the black market, it would be fine.
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "Can anyone enter the black market?"
"Of course." Zhou Yingxue said, "This black market is huge. It takes up an entire county town from before The Cataclysm, and it's very lively there. Many fugitives wanted by the various consortiums end up hiding here. Rich people can also come and hire them to do some dirty work."
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, "That's fine. After we go in, pretend to be my attendant."
Zhou Yingxue was a little unwilling, "How did I become a follower? I'm a Transcendent, after all. "
Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at her calmly. Zhou Yingxue's voice was getting weaker. "A follower is a follower …. Wait, a lot of people in this black market have seen me before. When we were working together to complete the A-rank missions, we even revealed our superpowers. If we get recognized, how powerful would you have to be to have me, a Transcendent, as your attendant?"
Ren Xiaosu thought about it and felt that was indeed the case. He glanced at Zhou Yingxue and said, "Then you can tell the outside world that I'm your assistant."
Zhou Yingxue was elated. "Then you have to act like an assistant. You can't boss me around anymore."
"Alright, alright." Ren Xiaosu waved it off impatiently. "Don't worry."
When the two of them were about to reach the outskirts of the black market, someone from the black market came over to inquire about them. They did not ask about their identities and only asked why they were there. They even asked if they needed help booking a hotel.
Zhou Yingxue, on the other hand, had an arrogant look on her face as she said, "Book a hotel, two rooms."
"Then do you need to rent a car or book a massage service in advance?"
"That won't be necessary for now."
"OK."
After that, the people from the black market left politely. Before they left, they even wished them a good time.
Ren Xiaosu smacked his lips. "This black market's service attitude is quite good."
Zhou Yingxue said, "I wonder who's controlling this black market. Not only does the other party treat this place as a place to dispose of stolen goods, but they're also creating a place to squander their money. If you spend enough money here, they'll even send you an invitation every spring and organize a seaside vacation together. There's even a large casino here. The dealers in the casino are all dressed in … "
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Are they even more exaggerated than what you wore in the library?"
Zhou Yingxue's face darkened. "Do you really have to bring that up?"
Ever since she left the Yang Clan, Zhou Yingxue seemed to have become a different person. In the past, she was doing it for a certain job. But now, she was living more for herself.
When a supernatural being left an organization, it was like a bird breaking free from its cage.
Of course, Zhou Yingxue was still willing to dress herself more seductively. However, she did not have to deliberately show it to men.
As soon as they entered the black market, someone immediately recognized Zhou Yingxue and went up to her to greet her warmly.
Some things were different from what Ren Xiaosu had expected. He thought they had failed the mission at Stronghold 61, but many people in the black market were saying that Zhou Yingxue and the others had completed the mission beautifully. They had actually wiped out all the Pyro Company members in Stronghold 61.
However, Ren Xiaosu noticed a puzzled look in Zhou Yingxue's eyes. He decided to clarify this matter when he got the chance.
When someone saw Ren Xiaosu, they asked curiously, "This is …"
Zhou Yingxue waved it off coldly. "He's my assistant, so don't bother about him."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
In an instant, Ren Xiaosu was cast aside by the group of snobs in front of him. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue was surrounded by the crowd and asked about the details of the battle.
Many of these people sold information for a living. If they could put in a few good words for Zhou Yingxue in exchange for some important information, why not?
However, Ren Xiaosu realized Zhou Yingxue was not stupid either. Her words were watertight and did not reveal any useful information at all.
At this moment, he suddenly saw someone leading a group into the black market. The person at the front of the group looked very strange as his face was covered with a piece of red cloth. The people following behind him looked very young, and they might even be students who were still in school.
The people who had surrounded Zhou Yingxue in the black market left when they realized they could not get any useful information out of her. Instead, they gathered around the young man with the red cloth covering his face. Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice, "Who's that?"
"He's a member of the Knight Organization." Zhou Yingxue whispered, "This place is very close to the Qinghe Group, so we often see them around."
"Then who are those people behind him? They look very young," Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"I heard they're students from Qinghe University. Qinghe University has a rule that students must travel and see the world. However, they can only go out under the protection of the Knight Organization."
