Chapter 157 There is no such person as Lu Qingjia.

"I never expected that the mistress's sudden unease was actually real."

Ye Ting shook his head, stayed in the courtyard for a while, and seeing that the others did not have any important conversations, he slipped out of the mansion.

At the same time, several important words were swirling in his mind: Howling Eagle Order.

What is the Howling Eagle Order, and what is the Howling Eagle Organization?

Based on General Lu's explanation, it seems to be a force unique to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Ye Ting had not forgotten how respectful the three people who had just knelt before Lu Jingnian had been.

The fact that General Lu actually sent the Howling Eagle organization to investigate Lu Qingjia means that they may have used their own resources to search for Lu Qingjia, but without exception, they all failed to find her.

Therefore, the Howling Eagle Order had to be used out of necessity.

Ye Ting became increasingly convinced that his thinking was correct, and with that in mind, he decided to personally go to Xuri Pavilion to gather information.

Although it is called Sunrise Pavilion, it does not receive business during the day.

Ye Ting waited until nightfall and followed the route Yan Jue had taken him along, as he remembered it, toward Xuri Pavilion.

The moon and stars were few overhead, with only a handful of dark clouds drifting across the sky. The occasional cawing of crows added to the desolate atmosphere.

Ye Ting imitated Yan Jue, flashed to the door of Xuri Pavilion, and knocked three times.

Jiang Mian had just woken up and was about to have dinner when she heard a knock on the door, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Sigh, how come we've already had customers so soon after opening?

However, it is not gentlemanly to pass up a chance to make money. With that thought in mind, Jiang Mian straightened his wrinkled clothes and walked towards the door.

Upon opening the door, Jiang Mian flashed a smug smile. "This is the Rising Sun Pavilion, and I am its owner. May I ask what brings this young master to our Rising Sun Pavilion?"

Ye Ting smiled faintly, his veil already on his face. "I am Young Master Ye, and I have come to Pavilion Master Jiang Mian to inquire about something."

Ye Ting's voice was very familiar, and Jiang Mian was slightly taken aback after hearing it.

He looked up and exclaimed, "You...you are Young Master Ye?"

After Jiang Mian clearly saw Ye Ting's beautiful fox-like eyes, she thought for a moment and confirmed that this was the young master Ye who had come some time ago. She then greeted him, "Young master Ye, it's been a long time."

Ye Ting smiled slightly: "Sect Master Jiang, it's been a long time."

As he spoke, he walked into the attic.

Jiang Mian watched Ye Ting walk in alone, and was somewhat surprised: "Didn't Young Master Xi come with you today?"

Ye Ting shook his head: "Young Master Xi has gone to handle some matters, so I'll have to come down here today."

Jiang Mian nodded: "I see."

He suddenly remembered what Ye Ting had said when he came in: "Young Master Ye said he came in to find out information, so you might as well say so."

"Young Master Xi is working tirelessly for our Rising Sun Pavilion. As his friend, we will naturally help you, but..."

Ye Ting: "Sect Leader Jiang, please speak frankly. Beating around the bush will not benefit either of us."

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I wonder if Young Master Ye would like to join our Rising Sun Pavilion."

Ye Ting was taken aback, then pointed to himself, "You mean, you want me to join your Rising Sun Pavilion and work for you?"

Jiang Mian looked somewhat embarrassed. "Young Master Ye, don't put it so harshly. How can this be called risking your life? This is clearly making money!"

Night Court: This is the first time I've seen someone describe murder so subtly.

He was conflicted. His master had previously told him to join the Rising Sun Pavilion, but then told him not to join yet.

But now...

After thinking about it, he realized that he was his master's man in life and in death, and whatever his master said was law. Since his master told him not to join yet, there must be a reason for it.

Ye Ting said in a deep voice, "No need. I'll leave after I've gathered the information."

Jiang Mian chuckled, not embarrassed at all, "That's a real pity. Since Young Master Ye is unwilling, we won't force you."

"Young Master Ye just said he wanted to find out some information. May I ask what kind of information it is?"

Ye Ting said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you about someone."

Is it really that simple? Jiang Mian was slightly surprised, but her expression remained calm.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Young Master Ye, please speak."

Ye Ting asked, "Do you know about the General of the State's Mansion?"

Jiang Mian scoffed. The Zhenguo General's Mansion was a thorn in the side of many forces. How could he, the dignified Pavilion Master of Xuri Pavilion, not have heard of it?

He raised his hand in a gesture of respect and replied, "Young Master Ye, I have indeed heard of you."

"Young Master Ye, are you looking for information about a certain person in the General of the Nation's Mansion?"

Most people who wanted to find out about the Zhenguo General's Mansion wanted to know about the old General Lu Jingnian, who had made many great contributions and was famous among the northern barbarians and southern barbarians. Only a few people would inquire about the other two young generals.

Because in their eyes, the other two generals were not worth mentioning.

Ye Ting nodded, "That's right, they're from the General of the State's mansion."

"Was it that you, young master, trying to find out about General Lu that night?"

Jiang Mian tentatively asked, thinking that if Young Master Ye wanted to inquire about General Lu, he would find an excuse to refuse.

After all, those who came to inquire about General Lu were all people with unclear backgrounds and no good intentions.

Although this Young Master Ye is Young Master Xi's good friend, who knows what color his heart is?

General Lu and the Zhenguo General's Mansion are important figures in safeguarding the peace of the Dongyue border. Jiang Mian knows he is a money-grubber, but compared to that, he values ​​his life more.

He was from Dongyue, so naturally he wouldn't betray his country for a little personal gain.

But to everyone's surprise, the person in front of them shook their head.

“Sect Master Jiang, I don’t want to ask you about General Lu.”

Jiang Mian was somewhat surprised, "You didn't want to find out about General Lu, you wanted to..."

Ye Ting said calmly, "Lu Qingjia."

"I want to find out about Lu Qingjia."

Jiang Mian was stunned. "You want to find out about Lu Qingjia?"

Ye Ting had assumed Jiang Mian would say, "Leave it to me, no problem." But to his surprise, Jiang Mian asked him the same question.

Ye Ting was somewhat surprised and explained, "Lu Qingjia is the grandson of General Lu, the legitimate son of General Lu the Second of the State General's Mansion, and the boy with the most martial arts talent in Dongyue today."

“He has been missing for some time now, and I’ve come to you to inquire about him on someone’s behalf.”

"I see," Jiang Mian said thoughtfully.

"However, this matter may be a bit tricky."

Ye Ting asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

Jiang Mian said, "I don't know why, but although the Zhenguo General's Mansion has someone named Lu Qingjia, our Xuri Pavilion... has no news of him."
