Afterwards, Yun Shou returned to Yangxue City.
Walking into Wu Street, I swaggered into Jin Feng Tower.
"Where's the intelligence I requested? Has it been gathered?" (Chapter 126)
The shopkeeper, Seventeenth Master, blinked: "Who are you?"
Yun Shou paused for a moment, then walked out of Jin Feng Tower.
He wiped his face, reverting to his previous handsome appearance.
They went inside again.
Seventeenth Master: "..."
He immediately came out from backstage to serve tea and water.
"Oh, it's you, guest! Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't recognize you earlier."
He shouted, and within moments a waiter from the building brought up the newly written document.
The Seventeenth Master spread out the documents.
"As luck would have it, the Zhong Yuman you're looking for happens to live in this Yangxue City..."
It was indeed a coincidence.
Yun Shouzhen never expected it to be such a coincidence.
That old man Wang has held a grudge against the wealthy Zhong Yuman for at least half his life, and he's currently in this very city.
Next, the shopkeeper, Master Seventeen, recounted Zhong Yuman's past in detail.
Originally, Jin Feng Lou operated on a cash-on-delivery basis; customers would pay and they would directly provide the materials. They did not offer this kind of "live recitation and explanation service."
But Yun Shou was different. In the eyes of the Seventeenth Master, he was a grandmaster rarely seen in the world, so the Seventeenth Master took the initiative to add services, wanting to get closer to him.
As for Yun Shou's opinion on this service... he had no objection. It was his first time buying this kind of information, and he assumed that Jin Feng Lou always did it this way.
Although he could read all the content in an instant with his current mental strength, he was in no hurry. Experiencing life in detail was also a wonderful thing.
The Seventeenth Prince highlighted the key points and pointed out the corresponding detailed intelligence snippets for each key point.
Zhong Yuman was a notorious playboy in Yangxue City when he was young.
Dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, he swaggered through the streets, displaying an extreme arrogance and having done his fair share of bullying men and women.
However, he was still quite perceptive. He never dared to provoke any outstanding young or female knights-errant, and when committing evil deeds, he specifically targeted ordinary people who were easily recognizable at a glance.
He had repeatedly contacted local gangs, instructing them to abduct women he fancied. Although no actual murders were committed, many women were often released only after ten days to two weeks.
They were ravaged and scarred, some even suffering from mental dementia, and many committed suicide because they could not bear the past.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shou already knew the truth.
Two years ago, the old man Wang who rescued him after he fell into the water had a son but no wife.
When Yun Shou was just a child more than ten years ago, and Old Wang's son was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he had never seen his wife.
Some idle people in the village speculated that she most likely died in childbirth.
Some elderly people have said that when Old Wang first arrived in the fishing village, he had a two- or three-year-old son with him, and he didn't have a wife at that time.
So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's this young master Zhong Yuman from back then...
The seventeenth master of Jinfeng Tower continued, "According to the older generation of neighbors near the Zhong family, Zhong Yuman only gradually became more restrained more than ten years ago..."
"No need to mention it further."
Yun Shou waved his hand.
He mentioned the Seventeenth Prince, walked out of the Golden Wind Tower, and then soared straight into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the Seventeenth Master was enveloped in true energy and carried into the sky. The crowd below grew smaller and smaller. He subconsciously reached out to hug Yun Shou, afraid of falling.
He was able to become a branch manager of this Jianghu intelligence department, and his knowledge was even comparable to some grandmasters, but even grandmasters had never flown to such a high altitude!
The sky and the ocean are places that humans instinctively yearn for, but when faced with them suddenly, the fear is just as profound!
"Which direction is the Zhong family's house in?"
Suppressing his fear, the Seventeenth Master pointed to a large courtyard based on his memory.
In an instant, his vision blurred, but he felt neither weightlessness nor acceleration; the scene before his eyes naturally shifted to that courtyard.
The servants and maids in the courtyard all turned to look, and then screamed.
"Who goes there!"
"This...this...a martial arts master!"
"No martial arts master can fly; this is clearly an immortal!"
Under the guidance of the Seventeenth Master, Yun Shou brazenly entered the main house of the Zhong family and randomly grabbed a passing servant to find out where Zhong Yuman was.
"Master should be in his study at this hour."
Finally, looking at the well-off-looking old man in his fifties sitting in the study, Seventeenth Master nodded: "That's him, that's Zhong Yuman!"
Jin Fenglou's intelligence gathering was perfect, including a portrait of Zhong Yuman. Furthermore, to prevent this "Supreme Grandmaster" from having other plans, they didn't even disturb the Zhong family, only inquiring with nearby residents.
Zhong Yuman hadn't even realized what was happening when the fat on her face twitched: "Who are you people? Someone, come here!"
"The soundproofing in the study is quite good."
Yun Shou muttered a complaint, grabbed him with his True Essence Hand, casually lifted the roof, and flew into the air with Zhong Yuman, ignoring his ear-piercing screams.
First, we went back to Jin Feng Lou and dropped off the seventeenth master, the manager. This naturally attracted the attention of many wandering knights and martial artists on Wu Street.
"Those two who just flew up are back. What did I tell you? You still didn't believe me? You've already made a bet, so call me 'Dad' now!"
"You little bastard, you said there were two people, but this time there are three!"
"You bastard, you're trying to renege on your promise!"
"whispering sound!"
As the two martial artists argued, the topic gradually shifted from "whether anyone really flew into the sky" to "who is the son and who is the father".
However, they were both only third-rate martial artists, and their internal energy had not yet been developed. They dared not fight here, so they just exchanged insults to satisfy their urge to fight.
Yun Shou didn't pay attention to this detail about the passerby. He was about to leave with Zhong Yuman in his arms when he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right, I think I mentioned before that I would give you a reward for this intelligence?" (End of Chapter 126)
Seventeenth Master took a deep breath. It was only two days ago, and he still remembered it clearly. At that time, this supreme being... no, this god-like martial saint left behind golden words.
He said, "The reward will be beyond our imagination once the investigation results are out!"
Seventeenth Master initially regarded this big shot as a Grandmaster, as the rewards a Grandmaster could offer would be substantial. However, after that incredible experience of going up to the heavens and down to the earth, he changed his mind.
He then realized that a Grandmaster was nothing but a fart in front of this being!
The unimaginable reward that such a being speaks of... truly exceeds all his imagination!
"The reward is—" Yun Shou drawled, his anticipation palpable.
Suddenly, the ending is displayed: "I've helped you settle your grudge against a martial arts master!"
Seventeenth Master: "???"
“Your Thirteenth Master in Qingcheng looked down on me for being poor.” Yun Shou waved his hand. “He originally planned to bankrupt your Golden Wind Pavilion, but considering your excellent performance, he will let bygones be bygones.”
He turned around and flew away again.
