They then acquired several mansions in the capital as their temporary residences.
At this moment, they sat together, drinking tea.
The Cloud Sword Pavilion Master inadvertently revealed a piece of information: "My spies have learned that the heartless widow Xiao Su has taken her capable subordinates and headed towards the capital."
The money shop owner was no longer calm. He put down his teacup, widened his eyes, and asked, "Is your news true? My men were with Xiao Su, but they didn't find out anything."
The Cloud Sword Pavilion Master smiled smugly, "That's because your people aren't good enough. After all, Xiao Su is always wary of us and tries to monopolize the benefits. She'll definitely try to avoid your notice. Although my men saw her enter the capital, she still managed to shake them off."
"But that's not important. What's important is that I know she's entered the capital and is being so cautious. What do you think she's up to?" The Cloud Sword Pavilion Master asked the other two with a half-smile.
The money shop owner jumped up and said, "How can you still be so calm? She's going to the capital at this time to complete the first task issued by the Hidden City Lord. You know, completing the Hidden City Lord's first task will not only earn you contribution points, but also a very generous reward! Most importantly, she might be able to leave a deep impression on the Hidden City Lord and become a familiar face to him."
"Old Qian, sit down first, there's no rush," the Cloud Sword Pavilion Master said slowly, taking a sip of tea.
"How can we not be anxious! Don't you know Xiao Su's personality? She'll always hoard any benefits. Look at what happened when she took our entry token, promising to share the rewards, but what happened? She hogged them all! She even took over a shop in Hidden City. Because of that shop, we couldn't do anything to her for a while and suffered a huge loss! Are you just going to stand by and watch her collect the rewards?"
The leader of the martial arts alliance glanced at the calm and collected leader of the Cloud Sword Pavilion, then at the extremely agitated owner of the money shop. After listening to their argument, he stepped in as a peacemaker: "Old Qian, look how calm Old Yun is, he must be very confident. Think about it, the Hidden City Lord has been unable to kill His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom for so long, do you really think His Majesty is so easy to bully? I think that since Xiao Su will fail this time, we can let her go first to find out His Majesty's true strength."
The Cloud Sword Pavilion Master then chuckled and said, "The Alliance Leader's analysis is indeed correct. All along, we have underestimated His Majesty. Just like this time, with the Southern Kingdom annexing the Eagle Kingdom, we should realize that His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom is not a hothouse flower. In fact, he is a rather difficult character to deal with. We should change our attitude towards this person."
