Irin discovered something.
It was something that did not affect the overall situation.
Ever since he left the Green Ox Village after thirteen years.
Ever since he subdued the tigress, Bai Chuchu.
Ever since he learned of Xiaoxi's message.
Ever since he punched Jian Nanchun's waist.
He felt that he was floating.
Just a little.
That was because Irin already had a rough understanding of the strength of the lower or middle class in this world.
With his current strength, he could not do whatever he wanted. At the very least, he could protect himself.
That was why Irin felt a little smug.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to barge into the Wanxiang Pavilion after just six days of scouting.
However, it did not seem to be a big problem. Everything was solved in the end.
To Irin, any problem was no longer a problem as long as it could be solved. It was just a matter of whether the method and process of solving the problem was good or not.
When Irin said the name of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Jian Nanchun, the embroidery lady believed Irin's nonsense.
That was because she had received information that a few days ago, Jian Nanchun of the Heavenly Sword Sect had stayed in the city's Third Grade Pavilion. After resting, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and he hurried out of the city.
This intelligence report and Yi Lin's words instantly echoed.
Moreover, in the embroidery lady's opinion, among the cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, who would dare to talk about the Heavenly Sword Sect?
Although the Heavenly Sword Sect was not deeply involved in the secular world, as the supreme Dao Sect of the top three sects, the Heavenly Sword Sect's reputation was still very intimidating in the secular world.
The embroidery lady's doubts disappeared.
The embroidery lady explained that the Wanxiang Restaurant chain was indeed just one of the gathering points for the Green Phoenix Tree to collect information.
The real information traffickers were distributed in the streets and alleys, among the commoners.
For example, the shopkeeper of the Third Grade Pavilion, the beggars at the city gate of Sheng Ping County, the widow and her sister grinding tofu on the street next door, or the veterans standing guard in front of the county magistrate's residence.
They were at the bottom of the entire information trading chain.
They would have a special mark of the Green Phoenix Tree beside them. Once someone recognized them and asked for information from them, they would pass this request to their superiors. Eventually, it would be passed down to the shopkeepers of the Wanxiang Restaurant in every city.
For example, the embroidery lady.
Once there was an unusual request for information, the Embroidered Lady would also pass on the information to her superior.
Through this method of transferring from one level to another, the information that the customer needed would eventually flow into the customer's hands through the same method.
This was a complicated chain of information transactions, but it was also an extremely safe and confidential path.
Although Xiu Niang did not go into detail, Irin was able to understand the entire information exchange network through the bits and pieces of vocabulary.
In fact, this was not an amazing business model. It was nothing more than a variation of the traditional capital operation.
But now, Irin had bypassed the middleman and went straight to the supplier. This was against the rules and procedures.
"I want to know two things." While Xiu Niang was hesitating, Irin made her request. "First, I want to know where my Senior Brother Jian Nanchun went. I lost contact with him and I'm worried that something bad might have happened to him. Second, I want to know why there have been so many cultivators around Ascending County recently."
When Irin told him the information he wanted.
Xiu Niang originally felt that something was wrong, but it immediately disappeared.
Look, the information that Young Master Lin wanted to know was about his Senior Brother Jian Nanchun. He was worried that his Senior Brother had met with misfortune.
Qing Dynasty's good Junior Brother!
Xiu Niang was secretly touched by Irin's unintentional display of camaraderie.
"Master Lin." Since she was sure that Irin was from the "Heavenly Sword Sect", Xiu Niang secretly changed the way she addressed Irin. She was a little hesitant. "If it's about Senior Jian's whereabouts, Xiu Niang can give it to you for the sake of your sect. But if it's about the recent movements of these cultivators … "
Irin stuffed the last two large ingots into Xiu Niang's belt. Suddenly, Xiu Niang's belt could not bear the weight and was stretched open.
Xiu Niang quickly covered her belt and said quickly, "According to Xiu Niang's knowledge, the two pieces of information that Master Lin wants to know are actually the same."
"Please speak."
Xiu Niang took out the silver ingots stuffed in her belt and fastened it again. She said, "Master Lin, you might be able to understand more about this matter when you return to your sect. But since Master Lin has come looking for me today, Xiu Niang can't let Master Lin return empty-handed. "
Irin glanced at the silver ingots in Xiu Niang's hands. He thought to himself, I don't know if I'm empty-handed or not, but you're stuffed full.
In Wanxiang Building, a man and a woman were alone in a room. Xiu Niang told him the whole story.
It turned out that the cause of the whole thing was a group of monks.
This group of monks came from the north and went all the way south. Every time they passed by a Buddhist temple, they would stop for a few days to promote Buddhism.
It was originally a good Buddhist concert tour, but somehow, it provoked some forces in the jianghu.
But this group of monks was not ordinary monks.
It was said that they came from the Supreme Court of the Qing Capital and were Buddhist masters who had cultivated.
Ordinary bandits and bandits of 30 to 50 people could not even get close to them.
But on the way south, even the cultivators were alarmed. Many Xuan Sect cultivators disguised their identities and sects and secretly found trouble with the monks.
The monks chased and fought all the way to this province.
"They are currently staying in Golden Temple, and Sheng Ping County is the nearest county to Golden Temple. This is the reason why there have been more cultivators in Sheng Ping County recently. And if Xiu Niang is not wrong, the Senior Jian that Master Lin is looking for is very likely near Golden Temple. "
Xiu Niang was indeed in charge of intelligence. Along the way, she had sorted out the entire matter.
"In that case, Xiu Niang will not see Master Lin off."
Xiu Niang finished in one breath and prepared to send him off.
"Wait."
Irin did not speak as he listened.
When Xiu Niang finished speaking and was about to leave after bowing, Irin slowly opened his eyes and said a word.
This word was soft, but it was as heavy as a thousand catties. It made Xiu Niang's graceful body stiffen by the door.
"Heh." Irin gently knocked on the table and said softly in a casual tone, "As the saying goes, do things for money and don't owe each other anything. Xiu Niang, I don't think your information is fake. You wouldn't take the initiative to destroy the Green Phoenix Tree's reputation. "
"If that's the case …" Xiu Niang's expression changed.
"But, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Irin narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiu Niang. The corners of his mouth curled up. "To tell you the truth, I know a thing or two about speaking. Your information is true, but it seems to be missing something. "
Crack.
Crack.
Crack crack crack.
At the same time Yi Lin said this, the entire room, including the candlesticks, the bed, the beams, the tables, the chairs, the doorposts, and everything else in front of Yi Lin's eyes began to vibrate at a frequency visible to the naked eye. Dust rustled and fell from the beams. It was as if a huge hand was uprooting Wanxiang Building from its foundation.
"You took the money and didn't do the job well. Do you not want Wanxiang Building anymore?"
The girls on the first floor also sensed that the entire building was shaking. Those who were more attentive discovered that the source of the shaking seemed to be the room where Xiu Niang and the extravagant youth were.
There were regular artists in Wanxiang Building. Not all of them belonged to the Green Phoenix Tree. Thus, they were only stunned by the strange shaking and did not think too deeply about it.
Many people stared blankly at the room with the tightly shut door and thought that it was ridiculous.
Was it really that intense?
A single man and a single woman were in the same room.
Xiu Niang's face was pale with fright as she knelt on the ground.
She had thought that this youth from the Heavenly Sword Sect with the surname Lin was only skilled at visiting brothels. He did not understand worldly affairs and would not be able to discern the hidden meaning in her words.
Xiu Niang had not lied to him. She did not dare to lie to him. However, she had hidden some seemingly unimportant information. She did not think that this youth would be able to see through it with a single glance.
"Senior Lin, please spare me!"
Although Xiu Niang had cultivated before, her cultivation was shallow. She could see the difference between the two of them with a single glance.
She did not have the ability to move the floor so casually.
Irin pressed down with his palm. Everything was calm, as if it was an illusion.
Xiu Niang knelt on the ground, her round breasts raised high. Even though the shaking had subsided, she did not dare to get up. Her head was on the ground as she spoke in a sobbing tone.
"Xiu Niang did not deliberately hide it. It's just that this matter involves too many people … Xiu Niang did not dare to speak too much!"
When Irin heard this, he knew that there was indeed a problem.
He had already heard it. Xiu Niang's words did not sound wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was missing.
— Motive.
That's right, motive.
A group of monks were patrolling around to spread the Dharma. If they were doing well, why would others find trouble with them?
The Heavenly Sword Sect was one of the top three sects. They were known as the supreme Daoist sect. Even if Jian Nanchun's strength was not considered top-notch in the Heavenly Sword Sect, he still represented the Heavenly Sword Sect in the secular world. If even the Heavenly Sword Sect was alarmed, then this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Irin had always been troubled by not being able to enter that circle. Wasn't a path naturally presented itself?
He would not give up on such a rare opportunity.
Thinking of this, Irin's expression was calm. With a flick of his finger, he consumed a portion of his Spiritual Energy Value to set up a soundproof barrier.
The surrounding music, the laughter of the ladies, and the shouts of the guests all disappeared.
Xiu Niang clearly sensed the changes in the surroundings. She raised her head and glanced at Irin. She thought that Irin must have cast a soundproof spell.
"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. I guarantee it with the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Xiu Niang did not expect Irin to use the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect as a guarantee.
Everyone knew that the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect valued the sect's reputation the most.
That was the supreme position of the Daoist sect.
Xiu Niang felt a lot more at ease when Irin even mentioned the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, she lay on the ground in a strange posture. She gritted her teeth as if she was still worried.
However, Irin's next sentence dispelled Xiu Niang's worries. "If I don't pay for what you're about to say, then it can't be considered business."
Xiu Niang was enlightened when she heard this. After taking a deep breath, she finally spoke. "Senior Lin, you're very thoughtful. According to what Xiu Niang knows, the reason why the monks from the Supreme Court traveled thousands of miles to come here … is because there's someone hiding among them."
"Who?"
"The orphan of the late Emperor who passed away 13 years ago. She's the current eldest princess of the imperial family. She's hiding among the monks of the Supreme Court! "
