Of course, the most direct purpose of her question was to find out what their purpose was in coming here!

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged a glance. Li Zhanting narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I would like to ask Miss Liu Xu to provide information on underground banks."

Miss Liu Xu narrowed her eyes sharply; one second she was all smiles, the next she stood up abruptly.

"I'm sorry, we are not aware of this information. Please leave!"

Gu Momo's lips curled into a wicked smile; this answer was clearly within her expectations.

Although the Lotus Pavilion was engaged in intelligence gathering, it was ultimately owned by the wealthy merchant Ala, and underground banks were Ala's gold mines for money laundering and illegal fundraising. Naturally, Liu Xu would not betray her master.

But they weren't in a hurry. As long as they released this bait, the fish would naturally take the bait!

"Don't misunderstand, we just want to try something different." Li Zhanting said calmly, taking out a check for 5 million from his suit pocket. "I wonder if this can be used as a gift to enter the bank."

Liu Xu's gaze darkened as she stared intently at the checks, clearly no longer trusting them.

Suddenly, a charming smile appeared in her eyes, and her voice was soft and melodious, particularly pleasant to the ear: "This gentleman must have misunderstood. We have never had any dealings with underground banks, so naturally we don't know where they are or what their business model is. I can't buy people or information with this money."

She refused again, pushing the check back to Li Zhanting.

Li Zhanting smiled indifferently: "In that case, we won't disturb Miss Liu Xu any longer."

After saying that, he and Gu Momo stood up together, and Li Zhanting pulled Gu Momo away from the private room.

As Gu Momo and Li Zhanting left the private room, a cold glint flashed in Liu Xu's delicate eyes.

She immediately pulled out her cell phone and lowered her voice: "Investigate those two people right now!"

The subordinate's voice immediately came through the cell phone: "Yes, sir!"

After hanging up the phone, a surge of anger welled up in Liu Xu's eyes, her smile seeming to tear people apart.

Now is the crucial moment for the Alliance Leader to accomplish his great task; there can be absolutely no mistakes!

If those two people were from the Dark Night Alliance or the Glazed Pavilion, then we absolutely cannot let them leave Lotus Tower alive!

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting immediately walked into the Lotus Pavilion. The Lotus Pavilion had a complex network of paths, each with its own hidden secrets. However, Li Zhanting was able to quickly discern the intricacies and find the optimal route.

"Zhan Ting, do you think the person we're looking for will come forward on their own?" Gu Momo lowered her voice. "Although we've obtained information about internal discord within the Lotus Pavilion and that someone is planning to defect, that move just now also exposed our identities. The Lotus Pavilion will probably keep an eye on us, and our next actions will likely be monitored everywhere."

In other words, even if the other party wanted to join them, they would probably be worried about losing their lives!

Li Zhanting parted his thin lips slightly: "Then it depends on whether this person who wants to defect has the courage. If he doesn't even have the awareness to make sacrifices, he probably doesn't have the courage to completely break with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance and the Lotus Pavilion."

Because defection is destined to be a life-or-death gamble from the very beginning!

Gu Momo's delicate eyes curved into a slight smile: "You're right!"

The two quickly rounded the corner, preparing to slip away through the deserted stairwell, when a clear female voice rang out: "Are you two heading to the underground bank? Have you gotten the information you're looking for?"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting turned around at the same time, and a woman in a blue meteor dress walked gracefully towards them from a distance.

Unlike Liu Xu's gold-threaded openwork mask, this woman wore a silver one.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting narrowed their eyes slightly, and then the woman smiled and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, please come with me."

The woman looked around to make sure no one had seen them, then turned and walked toward the room around the corner.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged a glance. Although they were unsure of each other's intentions, they thought this might be a breakthrough point. After confirming their suspicions with their eyes, they followed.

"Please come in. This is my office; it's very safe." The woman sat on the bed, her legs, tied with white ribbons, faintly visible beneath her skirt.

Li Zhanting subconsciously looked away, but Gu Momo watched with great interest.

Sure enough, all the women wearing masks in this Lotus Pavilion were stunningly beautiful. Their sleeves swayed gracefully, their figures exquisite. No wonder ancient emperors didn't hold court in the morning; if she were the emperor, she would be a tyrant too.

Seeing that she hadn't replied for a while, Li Zhanting coughed lightly, and Gu Momo finally came back to her senses. "May I ask your name, young lady?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Momo was dumbfounded. She really thought of herself as an emperor or prince.

The woman smiled faintly, "I'm afraid you've already gotten involved, haven't you? You don't need to ask my name, and I won't tell you. I heard your conversation with Liu Xu inside just now. Getting into the underground bank isn't difficult at all."

These words made Gu Momo laugh: "Why are you willing to help us?"

Gu Momo asked this question not just to inquire about her intentions, but to determine whether the person in front of her was truly sincere in her intention to cooperate, so as to prevent Lotus Tower's own people from infiltrating!

"Heh..." The woman smiled charmingly, her eyes gleaming with a bewitching light, like a fox spirit.

"Now that you two have come all this way, why bother with this probing? You risked your lives to directly state your purpose to Liu Xu, just to lure me out?"

"The Dark Night Alliance and the Glazed Pavilion are now the biggest rivals of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. But if you want to break through the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, you can only choose to divide it from within. So you just deliberately revealed your intentions to find out directly who is the one who intends to betray the Lotus Pavilion and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance! That is, the person you can cooperate with!"

"Are you so confident in your speculation?" Li Zhanting's cold eyes held a deep smile, his sharp gaze seemingly able to see right through a woman. "Aren't you afraid we're actors hired by Liu Xu, deliberately staging this play to lure the defector into a trap?"

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, the woman laughed wildly, then her gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

"If I didn't even have this much awareness, I wouldn't deserve to stand before you! Since I've decided to betray Lotus Pavilion and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, I'm prepared to die, so I'm not afraid that you're just actors hired by Liu Xu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly tossed a cardboard box to Li Zhanting, who caught it with perfect accuracy.

But then the woman said with a faint smile, "This is intelligence about the underground bank. Let's see if you dare to break in!"
