In addition to buying and selling human lives, Yanyu Pavilion also earns spirit stones by selling information, so when it comes to collecting information, they pay attention to every detail.
Nie Yanchen was very clear about this. While asking the question, he also pushed a cloth bag towards the table of Xie Chi, "Of course, we are not listening to this for nothing. There are 100 high-grade spirit stones in it. Take it, young lady."
One hundred high-grade spirit stones!
Tu Nian's eyes widened as she heard this. If Chu Qiurong hadn't pinched her in time under the table, she would have almost lost her composure.
Her cheap master doesn't have much money, but is he so generous?
Adding the fifty dollars he had lost earlier, half of their savings in the Snow Valley were now spent on Xu Chi.
Especially since she didn't dare to tell Nie Yanchen about this matter. Even when she saw Nie Yanchen waving his hand and not knowing that most of her family's wealth had been lost, she could only secretly think about selling the spiritual plants and medicines in the mustard seeds as soon as possible to make up the difference.
Tu Nian was feeling overwhelmed, but who would have thought that when faced with the one hundred spirit stones, Chi lowered her beautiful eyes, raised her gauze to cover her face, and pushed the spirit stones back.
"Each piece of information has its own price. You have already left a copy with me. There is no reason for me to take more."
For a moment, Nie Yanchen was stunned, Chu Qiurong smiled, and Tu Nian was numb.
"Girl, what do you mean..."
"cough!"
Tu Nian didn't dare let Nie Yanchen ask any more questions. She coughed to interrupt him and continued, saying to Xu Chi, "Miss, do you really have any other news? Please tell us all so we can come up with a plan soon."
"good."
Seeing her winking at him frantically, although he didn't quite understand, Xu Chi continued to follow her words, "According to the news spread in the pavilion, after that young senior brother was detained in Yuqing Sect that day, he was taken to the dungeon..."
Nie Yanchen was just ignorant, not an idiot. Tu Nian's actions were so deliberate that it seemed like he was shouting in his face. Coupled with Chu Qiurong's expression that seemed to be about to laugh, it was even more difficult for him not to be suspicious.
When it came to the main topic, his mind was half on Chen Chi and half on Tu Nian, but Tu Nian was determined to play dumb and didn't make any eye contact with him.
Things have their priorities. With Xu Ziqiao's matter involved, no matter how strange Nie Yanchen was, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he had to put the matter aside for the time being and concentrate on listening to what Xu Chi said.
Noticing that his gaze didn't come over again, Tu Nian knew that he had finally gotten away with it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xu Chi's side was also coming to an end.
Xu Ziqiao was imprisoned in the eastern area of the Yuqing Gate dungeon and was under guard by quite a number of people.
To sum up what Xu Chi said, this is roughly what he meant.
Chu Qiurong took a breath after hearing this and asked the two, "So, are we going to do it openly or secretly?"
Nie Yanchen tutted his words, glanced at him, and said, "What's the big deal? The Yuqing Sect's despicable behavior has stopped there, but are you going to follow suit?"
"What are you talking about?"
Chu Qiurong curled her lips, refusing to give in. "They are allowed to be unkind, but are we not allowed to be unjust? Yuqing Sect's hypocritical nobleness, are you also pretending to be noble?"
"You two should stop arguing. If you ask me, neither overt nor covert tactics will work."
Thinking of the original novel's description of the Yuqing Gate dungeon, Tu Nian felt a little depressed for a moment. "The Yuqing Gate dungeon has a complex layout, like a maze. If we only knew that Third Brother was in the East District, there would be no way to find him in such a short time."
It’s the same logic. If there is no evidence and people don’t recognize it, what can they do?
If you come openly, they'll transfer the person and then let you wander around the dungeon. Not only will you fail to rescue Xu Ziqiao, but you'll also be accused of making trouble out of nothing. If you come secretly, you won't be able to find the person and return empty-handed. If you're discovered, you'll be accused of making trouble out of nothing. It's a difficult situation no matter what you do.
"Oh, right."
When the three of them were having a headache about this, Xie Chi heard this and suddenly remembered something. He exclaimed softly and then took out a jade pendant with dragon pattern from his body.
"Dragon Flame Jade? It's the one San'er always carries with him!"
Chu Qiurong raised her eyes and recognized the jade pendant at a glance. She asked in surprise, "Why is it here with you?"
"This jade was found on the road by a fellow disciple of the pavilion."
Xu Chi extended his hand and handed the jade pendant to Tu Nian, saying, "Since you were able to find me with the jade ring that day, I thought it would be more convenient to do things with this jade pendant, so I asked her for it. I hope it can be of some help to you all."
This was definitely a silver lining. With this jade pendant and a search talisman, all their worries would be easily resolved.
"Xu Chi, thank you so much for this!"
Standing up and taking the jade pendant, Tu Nian held Xie Chi's hand with a happy look on his face, as if he had forgotten that he was now dressed as a man.
Being so close to her, Xu Chi was at a loss for words. He even lost his temper. He lowered his head hastily, and his cherry lips opened and closed many times before he said, "No, no, I just did my best to help."
Seeing Xu Chi's reaction, Nie Yanchen showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. Combined with this scene, he suddenly understood why Chu Qiurong insisted that Tu Nian dress up as a man when she came.
Then he glanced at the latter and saw that the other party had a funny and somewhat ambiguous expression, which made him have a better idea in his mind.
The two people who saw through the truth did not expose it. Tu Nian was so happy that he didn't realize anything was wrong.
She took out some talismans from the mustard seeds and stuffed them into Xu Chi's hands, saying sincerely, "I don't have anything to show off, only some talismans. These are my tokens of appreciation. Please accept them, young lady."
"this……"
Xu Chi's cheeks flushed red and he looked very embarrassed. He seemed to want to refuse, but he saw something and suddenly hesitated. In the end, he said "hmm" and took all the talismans.
