However, it is certainly not as simple as it appears on the surface.
That suspension bridge was clearly a test for her.
To test her abilities.
"You just said I could inquire about three things?"
“Yes.” Xu Yiran smiled faintly. “Moreover, it’s free.”
"Why?"
Xie Faqin looked at Xu Yiran, "The Heavenly Mystery Hall has always been mysterious, but it wouldn't do something pointless. Why would it let me off so easily?"
"Because you are the woman I love deeply, of course there have to be exceptions."
"That's right."
Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened.
Xu Yiran smiled faintly and remained silent.
"If that's the case, then you should tell me how much silver you want to charge."
"Why?"
"I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage."
"I told you, I'll investigate for you, no money required."
Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened. "Then, forget it."
After saying that, he gestured for Tinghai to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Xu Guaiyi suddenly called out to Xie Lingqin, "Why do this?"
"I already have someone I like and love deeply, so I can't owe you a favor."
Xie Lingqin's words were cold and aloof.
The refusal in his tone was extremely obvious.
"Are you so sure that the person you like now is the one you will always love deeply in the future?"
Xu Yiran's expression was aloof, her tone carrying a faint, mocking tone amidst her calm and collected demeanor.
Xie Lingqin did not answer, her expression suddenly darkening.
“Okay.” Xu Yiran suddenly smiled, her eyes clear and bright. “I was just kidding. Go ahead and check.”
Xie Lingqin lowered her gaze slightly, secretly relieved.
Of course she wanted to investigate; this was the Heavenly Mystery Hall, holding countless secrets of the world. However, she couldn't let Xu Yiran hold onto anything to blackmail her later.
After all, this Xu Yiran...
She couldn't explain it clearly.
"I need to investigate what exactly happened to the Beirong royal family more than a decade ago," Xie Lingqin said almost without thinking.
Xu Yiran raised her hand and pointed, "Second shelf on the left, please take it yourself."
Xie Lingqin immediately took a step.
"Miss Lingqin."
Tinghai suddenly called out to her, his voice hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
Tinghai then looked at Xu Yiran and asked, "Does this Heavenly Mystery Hall truly possess all the information in the world? Can it find everything?"
"Out of ten points, there will always be nine points."
"good."
Tinghai nodded, then suddenly knelt down before Xie Lingqin. His round face, which was usually so frivolous, vanished. He looked at Xie Lingqin with a pleading expression, "Miss, could you please give me a chance? I also want to investigate something."
"good."
Xie Lingqin readily agreed.
Although the three things she wanted to investigate were far from enough, the fact that Tinghai was asking her for help meant that this matter was very important to him.
"Thank you, Miss." After speaking, Tinghai stood up and looked at Xu Yiran. "Mr. Xu, I want to investigate the massacre of the Zhang family in Fengnuan City five years ago."
Xie Lingqin was slightly taken aback.
The wind warms the Zhang family in the city...
This matter...
Xu Yiran stared intently at Tinghai, "Regardless of your relationship with the Zhang family, I can tell you that you'd better not investigate."
"Why?"
You'll regret this.
"Even if I regret it, I will still investigate."
"Okay, eighth row, third from the back. Remember, you can only check this one item. If you see something you shouldn't, or touch something you shouldn't, the eyes in the shadows will..."
Xu Yiran smiled.
The threat was already quite obvious.
Tinghai nodded, then walked toward the eighth row.
Xie Lingqin also moved to the second row.
"Secrets of the Royal Family of Beirong".
Xie Lingqin read the small print on the noodle, looked at the year written at the bottom, and then took it down.
"In the 311th year of the Northern Rong reign, Emperor Yuwen Shu of the Northern Rong went on a tour and saw a woman of unparalleled beauty and talent. He was captivated by her and took her into the palace..."
The words were concise and awkward, but in Xie Lingqin's eyes, they were like vivid pictures unfolding before her.
Such a scene of flashing blades and blood, galloping horses and flying swallows, crushing and slicing through the mortal world.
After a long while, Xie Lingqin closed the booklet in her hand with a sigh, her expression complex.
It turns out that the woman the emperor loved so deeply back then was actually on good terms with her mother.
It was also because of her mother that the emperor befriended that woman and showered her with love and care. However, the woman was forcibly brought into the palace by the emperor, and she already had another love in her heart. In the end, she even gave birth to a child, but she died!
However, none of this was enough to shock Xie Lingqin.
What surprised her was...
The world has been deceived.
then……
