Mo Qin and Yu Fei came to the most prosperous street in Liangcheng.
Found the Qianxi Pavilion branch.
From the outside, this is an unremarkable calligraphy and painting antique shop.
There are several antique display cabinets in the store, which are filled with various old ornaments. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The whole store is both luxurious and old-fashioned.
There were few people in the store and business was very slow, as if it was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the street.
The man sitting behind the counter, wearing a dark blue robe and a jeweled hat on his head, was flipping through a ledger and working on an abacus.
Noticing someone coming in, he looked up from the account book, glanced at the two people, and then came out from behind the counter.
With his shrewd eyes rolling, he asked with a smile:
"Are you Miss Mo and Miss Yu?"
Yu Fei immediately stepped forward, blocking Mo Qin behind him, with a vigilant look on his face:
"Do you know us?"
The man was not at all displeased with Yu Fei's defensiveness, but continued to smile:
"The master gave instructions early in the morning, saying that two distinguished guests would be visiting today."
He licked his dry lips and said:
"I saw that they both had extraordinary demeanor and good looks, so I just made a blind guess. I didn't expect... to be right."
The man bent his waist slightly, but his eyes kept moving between the two of them.
He called me a distinguished guest, but he didn't show much respect on his face.
Yu Fei frowned, seeming to be very unhappy with his slightly frivolous attitude, but didn't say anything in the end.
The man didn't hesitate any longer and simply raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the stairs.
"My master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
The man turned and walked towards the stairs.
He held his robe in one hand, his back slightly bent, and walked up the wooden steps.
Mo Qin and Yu Fei looked at each other and followed the man upstairs.
The man took the two of them to the top floor, where there was only one room. After climbing a few steps, they arrived at a door.
The black wooden door was closed. The man walked forward and opened it. It was very empty inside. Standing outside the door, the view was limited and he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
But there was no sound inside, it was very quiet.
He bowed and made a gesture of invitation:
"Miss Mo, please."
Mo Qin entered the house first, but Yu Fei was stopped outside the door.
"Miss Yu, please stay. Our master said he only saw Miss Mo."
The man still had a smiling face, as if he could not make any other expressions except smiling.
Yu Fei's expression changed, and he stepped forward to force his way in:
"you……"
She pushed the man, but he was obviously no match for her and was pushed directly into the door frame.
The man's face changed slightly, but he immediately stood up straight and continued to stop people.
"Miss Yu, please be patient."
"The master just wants to talk to Miss Mo alone, so please wait for a while."
Mo Qin had just entered and taken a few steps when she saw Yu Fei being stopped outside and the man was refusing to give in.
She comforted Yu Fei:
"It's okay, I can handle it alone. I'll be out in an incense stick of time at most."
Yu Fei frowned, not feeling too confident about Mo Qin going in alone.
If something happened to her, not only would she not be able to explain to her master, but she would also be in trouble herself.
Even if you put her appearance aside, she likes this girl very much.
He didn't want to see her encounter any danger under his nose.
Although Mo Qin spoke in a negotiating tone, she could still hear the implication that no disobedience was allowed.
Yu Fei had no choice but to compromise.
"yes."
Mo Qin turned and walked into the house. The man closed the door, blocking Yu Fei's sight.
Seeing Yu Fei's tense and ready appearance, the man couldn't help but tease:
"Don't worry, Miss Yu. We are in the business of selling information, not human lives."
"Since you two are here to buy information, you are our distinguished guests. The master will not do anything to that girl."
He rubbed the place where he had been hit during the jostle through his sleeve and continued.
"If you really want to make a fuss, our place is much safer than your Tianji Sect."
Tianji Sect is also what people often call the evil sect.
Yu Fei snorted coldly and pouted in disdain.
One is an open attack and the other is a hidden arrow, so no one should blame anyone.
Do you really think that you are a good person just because you are wearing the skin of justice?
It's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
The man seemed to know what Yu Fei meant, and he said cheerfully:
"We never said we were good people."
If someone pays them enough, they can even tell you what color underwear someone wears every day.
They are both good and evil, and they never claim to be good people.
-
As soon as Mo Qin entered the house, a woman in a thin light yellow dress came forward.
The woman clearly had a pure appearance, but her eyes were full of seduction.
She nodded at Mo Qin and looked at him subtly.
Even though she concealed it well, Mo Qin could still sense that this person was a little hostile towards her.
Hostility that comes from nowhere.
Mo Qin followed her to the inner room and saw a man sitting at the table.
He was facing the chessboard, holding a black chess piece between the slender and beautiful fingertips of his right hand, but he was reluctant to put it down. His every move was full of elegance and grace.
Noticing someone coming in, the man slowly turned his head and raised his eyes. His smiling almond-shaped eyes hid his sharpness. He pointed to the seat opposite him.
"Miss Mo, please take a seat. Yan has been waiting for you for a long time."
