Fortunately, the system wasn't too outrageous; at least it gave her the approximate coordinates and location of Jing Ke's arrival, giving her a chance to find him.
Without further ado, she recounted the story to the other three.
Knowing that the matter was of great importance, and since they had almost finished their meal, Su Daji, Qin Shi Huang, and Xiao Yu'er all got up and said they would go and help find Jing Ke.
The group took a taxi to the coordinates provided by the system.
It turned out to be the largest comprehensive wet market in the area, with stalls selling everything from chickens and ducks to fruits, vegetables, and cooked food. It was the busiest time of day, and the market was teeming with people.
The three were a young and attractive group of handsome men and beautiful women, and they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they got out of the car.
At many of the stalls outside, people stared at them curiously, asking in hushed tones that everyone could hear, "They look just like Su Daji and Qin Shi Huang, who's been all the rage online lately, don't they?"
Su Daji was most skilled at bewitching people, and immediately smiled gently at the young man who had spoken.
The young man was instantly smitten, staring blankly at Su Daji. He handed her a half-plucked chicken with both hands and asked in a daze, "Beautiful lady, do you like to eat chicken?"
Su Daji covered her lips and chuckled, "Thank you, young man. I don't like chicken. I'm here to find someone."
"May I ask if you encountered a strange man in the market? He seemed to be a rather young man, dressed in strange ancient clothing, claiming to be from the State of Wei during the Warring States period, and possibly a bit mentally unstable..."
Before Su Daji could finish speaking, someone immediately exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this Miss Su talking about the idiot that the fishmonger next door just picked up? He suddenly appeared in this market, holding a sword, asking where Qin Shi Huang is, and making a scene about wanting to kill him."
"It's really hilarious. Where are you going to find a Qin Shi Huang these days? So this guy has been looking for people everywhere lately, and he starts poking any guy he sees dressed in ancient costume cosplay."
Yu Ningning: ...
Su Daji: ...
The two men looked at Qin Shi Huang at the same time, and at the wide sleeves of his Qin Dynasty attire that he was still wearing.
Yu Ningning whispered a reminder: "Why don't you go to the restroom and change your clothes first?"
Qin Shi Huang coldly rebuked, "I am the former ruler of the Great Qin Empire, with a vast and boundless territory and abundant resources. Why would I fear a mere assassin from the State of Wei?"
Before the words had even finished, the young man who had spoken earlier seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. That young man was taken in by the people at the fish-cleaning stall next door these past few days, and he's doing odd jobs now."
"I don't know what his sword is made of. I heard it's incredibly sharp and makes killing fish exceptionally easy. One slash and you're bloodied, and in a couple of swift strokes, a fish is gone."
"The owner of that fish-cleaning stall has been praising him a lot these past few days, saying that she's found a good, efficient worker."
Qin Shi Huang: ...
Qin Shi Huang coughed lightly, his hand clenched into a fist, and then casually looked up and asked, "This market looks quite bustling. I wonder if there are any toilets or clothing shops here?"
"First of all, let me clarify that I am not afraid of a mere assassin. It's just that I came to this mortal world relatively early and can be considered his senior, so I should be more tolerant and forgiving towards him."
