Ye Shijie: Nice to meet you. Are you free lately? The Night Hunters Association has posted a quest that I think you might be interested in.
Then, there is a screenshot of the Night Hunter Association mission.

Xia Chujian stared at the hairpin picture and the "10 billion" Beichen coins for a long time before looking away.
Qi Lu's childish voice was also very excited: "Master! The hairpin in this picture is the real thing!"
"It's the real 'Phoenix Roaring in the Nine Springs'!"
“I never thought this hairpin once belonged to Ying Chenyu, a noble lady of the Ying family!”
Xia Chujian's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "This is worth a try."
She replied to Ye Shijie slowly.
[Xia Chujian]: Sorry, not interested.
Then, blacklist this team.
She was somewhat interested in this mission, but did not want to cooperate with Ye Shijie.
This person has made her unable to trust him.
Xia Chujian thought about it and decided to send a message to His Excellency Gu Shanjun, one of the five directors of the Dark Night Hunter Association, whom she was familiar with, in the capacity of a member of the Dark Night Hunter Association.
[Xia Chujian]: Director Gu, I would like to take on a mission from the association, but I don’t have a team now and want to go solo. Can I take on the mission as an individual?
If someone else had sent this kind of message, Gu Shanjun would have definitely ignored it.
But now, he knew that Xia Chujian's identity was not ordinary.
The young master of their association is very fond of Xia Chujian!
So he replied immediately without hesitation.
Gu Shanjun: What mission do you want to take? I can check if I can take it personally!
[Xia Chujian]: It’s the Ying family massacre case.
Gu Shanjun: ...that mission? That's not easy. It requires brains, not brute force.
Gu Shanjun: Let me tell you, this task has been posted for several days, and no one has taken it. Because the people in our association are all strong in body but simple in mind, they can't handle this kind of brain-intensive task.
Xia Chujian thought that if it was any other family murder case, she would definitely not care at all.
But by chance, one of the important clues to the Ying family murder case is in her hands.
Moreover, she also knew that this hairpin was once sold on a black market in Shaofu Star.
As for which black market it is, we need to investigate it thoroughly.
Xia Chujian tended to think it was a large black market.
Because only large black markets have sufficient liquidity to sell those valuable items.
No matter how cheap this antique hairpin is sold, Xia Chujian feels that it should be worth a million Beichen coins.
This amount was in line with Li Fu's economic situation at the time, as he had just become rich from being a poor man.
As to whether it is true or not, we can only find out by investigating.
If the "Phoenix Roaring Nine Springs" hairpin that Li Fu had bought from a black market on Shaofu Star was the hairpin that Ying Chenyu owned, then Xia Chujian felt that as far as this case was concerned, no one had as many clues as she did.
What if she could find the real culprit behind this?
That’s 10 billion Beichen coins!
The mineral mining business she had collaborated with Quan Yuxun and Su Buyan has not yet generated much dividends.
Because this kind of industry requires a large initial investment, you have to wait before you can cash in.
But at present, more and more people depend on her for their livelihood, and she has to be responsible for them, so she has an even more urgent need to make money.
If I can also help Ying Wuxin find the murderer who wiped out her family, it would be considered as repaying her a favor.
Xia Chujian connected the events before and after the assassination of the dog emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan that day and believed that Ying Wuxin must have played a huge role in it.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the Dog Emperor was going to take a walk in that place?
