Chapter 5: Ghost Market Mu San



Luo Lingyue lay on the bed with her eyes closed. The maid Liuli was holding a stack of plain dresses. She put them into the closet for Luo Lingyue and then left.

Linglong brought Luo Lingyue some meat and vegetable porridge: "Miss, don't rush to sleep. Linglong will feed you some porridge. The wound on your back looks scary, but it's just a flesh wound. You should take care of it first."

As a bounty hunter who lives on the edge of a knife, Luo Lingyue has suffered countless injuries. How could he not see the strength Linglong used?

She said tearfully, "Linglong! You are so cruel! What if I get a scar and can't get married?"

Seeing Luo Lingyue had returned to normal, Linglong sighed and advised, "Miss, the miracle doctor's medicine will leave you with no scars at all! Are you still thinking about marrying the prince?"

Seeing Luo Lingyue remained silent, Linglong said earnestly, "Miss, don't you understand now? The Luo and An families are tied to the Second Prince. How can you and the Crown Prince be together? If you continue to harbor illusions about the Crown Prince, you will harm your aunt and cousin!"

Luo Lingyue's almond-shaped eyes curled up: "Linglong! You're too timid! You're like the maids in the palace. You might not be able to get married!"

Linglong's face flushed: "Miss! You are a girl in the boudoir, how can you talk about getting married all the time!"

Luo Lingyue stuck out her tongue: "I know! Aunt Linglong!"

After Linglong left, Luo Lingyue sat up in the darkness. Her almond-shaped eyes flashed dangerously in the darkness, like a wild beast waiting for its chance to strike!

She stood up and went to her dressing table, facing the bronze mirror, and began to apply makeup and paint on her face. In half an incense stick of time, her delicate and beautiful face turned into an extremely ugly flat face.

Luo Lingyue climbed out of the courtyard in the dark. She had observed during the day and found that the two maids around her had some martial arts skills, while the other maids and servants were ordinary people. The guards in the courtyard were not very powerful either.

But there are many spies in the general's mansion whose identities are unknown.

She carefully avoided these eyes, and with a few jumps and runs, she arrived at the intersection of West Street.

Zhangji Teahouse at the intersection of West Street is the entrance to Shangjing Ghost Market.

The novel states that the Ghost Market falls under the jurisdiction of the Soul-Snatching Pavilion, which, like the Soul-Snatching Sect, is a killer organization from the Great Zhao Kingdom. However, the Soul-Snatching Sect is not given much introduction in the novel, and its leader, Blood Shadow, is extremely mysterious!

However, he described the Gouhun Pavilion in great detail. The Gouhun Pavilion not only took on murder and robbery business, but also bought and sold various intelligence information.

Most importantly, the Soul-Snatching Pavilion was leaderless at this point in time. The previous leader of the Soul-Snatching Pavilion had been killed by Blood Shadow a month prior!

The soul-calling token that the Pavilion Master had given to the entire Pavilion was also taken away by Blood Shadow.

The Soul-Snatching Pavilion is offering a reward in the martial arts world. Whoever can get the Soul-Snatching Token from Blood Shadow will be the next Pavilion Master!

There was no need to kill Blood Shadow to avenge the former Pavilion Master, because they all knew that revenge could not be achieved.

Luo Lingyue threw a piece of silver to the tea shop clerk: "I want to go to the ghost market!"

The waiter led her into the secret door. Luo Lingyue asked, "Where can I get information about the Ghost Market?"

The waiter said in a hoarse voice: "There is an Eagle Shop in the Ghost Market. Go in and find Mu San. They have all kinds of information there."

Luo Lingyue entered the passage through the secret door and arrived at the Ghost Market. She went straight to the Eagle Shop, where only a frail old man was watching over the shop.

Luo Lingyue looked around, but there were no eagles! She had expected to see a flock of eagles!

Luo Lingyue knocked on the counter: "Shopkeeper! I want to buy information about Blood Shadow!"

Mu San's eyes swept over the ugly, round-faced woman in front of him, and his voice was a little cold: "No!"

Luo Lingyue took out a silver ingot and said, "I want to know what the Soul-Catching Token looks like!"

Mu San raised his eyes to look at Luo Lingyue. He was very sure that he had never seen this woman before. He was very sure that there was no such person in the martial arts world!

Mu San took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Luo Lingyue, then accepted the silver ingot.

After reading it, Luo Lingyue returned the paper to Mu San. She then took out a gold leaf from her sleeve and said, "Shopkeeper Mu, I want to know where Blood Shadow will be tonight."

Mu San's mouth twitched slightly: "I don't know!"

Luo Lingyue sneered: "Mu San! Do you want the Blood Shadow of the Soul-Crossed Sect to take over the Soul-Crossed Pavilion? From what I know, he is a sinister and violent person."

Mu San rolled his eyes, looked at Luo Lingyue coldly, and said nothing!

Luo Lingyue took back the golden leaf and said calmly, "Mu San, the Soul-Snatching Pavilion is not only important for the Soul-Snatching Killers, but your Black Hawk Team is equally important. The Black Hawk Team is the eyes and ears of the Soul-Snatching Pavilion! If I become the Pavilion Master, I will make you the Deputy Pavilion Master. Do you want to do this deal or not?"

Mu San was somewhat shocked. For the past month, no one had dared to look for Xueying. This woman's origins were unknown. Was she incredibly stupid, or did she have some real talent?

Regardless of how capable this woman is, it is a sure win for Mu San.

Mu San grinned and said, "Give me the gold leaves!"

After collecting the gold leaf, Mu San said cunningly: "I don't have any information about Blood Shadow, but my conclusion is still worth this gold leaf!"

Luo Lingyue gestured for him to continue.

"This Blood Shadow from the Soul-Destroying Sect may seem like a top assassin in the martial arts world, but since his debut, he's only killed officials from the imperial court and those connected to it. To hire him to kill someone, you'd need at least five hundred taels of gold!"

"Who in this world or among ordinary people can afford this kind of money?"

Luo Lingyue asked doubtfully: "Then why did he kill your Pavilion Master?"

Mu San's expression froze. He stroked his beard and stared at Luo Lingyue with half-empty eyes: "Pavilion Master killed an honest official!"

Luo Lingyue was silent for a moment before she said, "You are in the Jianghu, and Blood Shadow's target is the government."

Mu San nodded, and Luo Lingyue said seriously: "Mr. Mu, please continue!"
