The best place to gather information is naturally a restaurant.
It not only gathers upright people from all over the world, but also many locals who drink and make merry there.
When the alcohol hits you, you can say all sorts of things.
Arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, I looked at the signboard above: "Huitong Restaurant".
Looking down, I saw that the entrance was bustling with people.
If there are disciples of Liuhuo Mountain Manor among them, it might be possible to identify him.
Feeling guilty, he went to the nearby market and bought a large hat.
Since it was a time when righteous people were gathering, his attire did not attract the attention of others.
Seeing Xiao Feng find a seat and sit down, the shopkeeper quickly came to his side.
"Are you here for a meal or to stay the night, sir?"
"Give me two pounds of the finest beef, and two ounces of good wine."
This should be considered standard equipment for them, so the shopkeeper naturally had no doubts and immediately began preparing these items.
I could hear voices discussing something nearby.
He carefully examined it, hoping to find the answer he needed.
Soon, the voices of several monks caught his attention.
Looking at them, these people should all be from reputable sects.
"Did you know? It's said that the young master's wife died at the hands of the Demonic Sect."
"Young Master's wife? Could it be Zhao Yuwei, whose strength is unparalleled?"
"That's right. It's said that someone witnessed her being killed by members of the Demonic Cult. It was extremely cruel."
"..."
Xiao Feng naturally did not believe that anyone from their Ming Cult had come to kill them, after all, they had been recuperating at the Qingxin Sect during this period.
It's even less likely that Su Mu and Wu Hai would make this special trip just to kill someone who is unrelated to them.
Rumors are circulating that the person in question was most likely killed by someone from Liuhuoshan Manor.
The person who did it is most likely Bai Zhao.
He felt a surge of anger and stared intently at the people talking.
He desperately wanted to kill these people right there, but he knew very well that now was not the best time to do so.
If anyone makes a move against a prestigious sect, disciples from other prestigious sects will surely flock to their aid.
Unless you're someone like Wu Hai or Su Mu, you have no chance of leaving them.
"Sir, here is your beef and the warmed wine."
When Xiao Feng saw the waiter bring the goods, he nodded politely to him, showing no trace of the demeanor of the Demonic Sect.
Little did he know that the Spirit Sword Sect was a prestigious and righteous sect, and his cultivation was genuine.
Just as they put the beef into their mouths, only two female cultivators remained at the table where they had been talking; everyone else had left.
Seeing an opportunity presented itself, he certainly wouldn't let it slip away.
He walked up to them with a smile on his face, carrying beef and warmed wine.
"I'm a little curious about what you two were just talking about. Would you two be willing to tell me about it?"
The female cultivator's expression turned quite unpleasant when she saw Xiao Feng arrive uninvited; she didn't even seem to care about him.
“We don’t think we’ve ever met you before, and we have no obligation to tell you about this.”
Upon hearing what the female cultivator said, Xiao Feng casually took out two spiritual treasures from his ring and tossed them in front of the two women.
"I don't usually leave the mountain, but I overheard your discussion and found it quite interesting. I hope you can do me a favor."
The female cultivators exchanged a glance and then accepted the spiritual treasure that had fallen in front of them.
This magical treasure is only available to elders who have made significant contributions, and for them to obtain it as disciples is an extremely rare occurrence, one in ten thousand.
Looking up at Xiao Feng, I saw a handsome face beneath his large hat.
The two blushed almost simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and said, "We are Xinyi, a disciple of Hundred Flowers Valley, and this is Yanling."
Xiao Feng understood that the two women were vaguely doubting his identity, and nodded slightly to them: "Guo Jing of the Ancient Tomb Sect."
"The Ancient Tomb Sect?"
The two exchanged a glance, neither of them having heard of such a sect.
However, they understood that prestigious and respectable families were as numerous as hairs on a cow, too many to count.
Given their experience, it's normal that they haven't heard of it.
He glanced at the two women, then casually picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"I have some acquaintance with Bai Zhao. Now that the army is about to set off, I've come here to have a drink and relieve my boredom."
Yanling and Xinyi exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Xiao Feng wasn't lying and were happy to tell the story.
Anyway, this matter is no longer a secret, and I believe many people are spreading this confidential information.
Seeing Xiao Feng standing in front of them, Xin Yi quickly pulled Xiao Feng to sit down, a smile on her face.
"Sit down and talk. This matter is not a secret. It's no harm in telling you."
Upon hearing what the two women said, Xiao Feng bowed slightly to them with a smile on his face.
Just as the two were about to speak, they noticed a man and a woman walking into the restaurant.
The woman had a cool and aloof appearance; she could be considered an absolute ice queen.
Xiao Feng glanced at the reactions of the others and found that they were extremely shocked by the woman.
Clearly, they had never seen this person before, and he probably did not belong to any of the top sects.
Suddenly, the man turned to look at Xiao Feng and walked towards him.
Xinyi and Yanling exchanged a glance, unsure if they had caused trouble, and had absolutely no confidence whatsoever.
Only Xiao Feng remained seated, without even moving a step.
When dealing with someone like that, running away will only arouse his suspicion; there will be no other outcome.
The man walked up to the two of them, his face looking quite unpleasant.
"The Zhao Yuwei you're talking about isn't the young master's wife of Liuhuo Mountain Manor. Only my junior sister, Ouyang Mingyue, is."
As soon as the crowd heard them introduce themselves, some people immediately recognized them and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Could these two be from the Three Immortal Islands?"
Seeing that the man wasn't looking at her, Yanling hurriedly offered an explanation.
"Bai Zhao just lost his wife, and these Three Immortals Island actually have the audacity to want to marry their junior sister into the family. They really have the audacity to do that."
"Exactly, I've never seen anyone with such a thick skin."
During the Song Si era, the two constantly joked about themselves, realizing that the sects behind them must be extremely powerful.
The two of them have only just arrived in the city, and there is no need for them to invite trouble upon themselves.
Unfortunately, the discussion grew louder and louder, making Song Sinian's expression increasingly grim.
He looked at Ouyang Mingyue beside him and gestured for her to look around the city.
The words to be spoken later are likely to be very impactful, and Ouyang Mingyue might be able to make the most of them if she's not here.
In contrast, Ouyang Mingyue agreed nonchalantly, and led a few disciples out of the restaurant, striding outside.
Judging from her appearance, she seemed to want to go to the market.
