"Since I am sincerely discussing the commission with you, I will not deceive you on these important details."
Mr. Shuangyue leaned forward slightly and said solemnly.
The sound insulation of this tea house is not very good. She and the person opposite are sitting across from each other on a small table made of bamboo. The four walls are also made of bamboo, and the outside air leaks through the gaps. Naturally, the sound is also transmitted outside.
There was a possibility of leaking. But whether it was leaking or being cold, it was not something she needed to worry about at the moment.
Because this is a village close to Death Shadow Pavilion.
Even in the cold winter, this land in the south is not covered with ice and snow. The wind entering the room does not carry much cold air, but the water vapor is heavier and appears damp. Moreover, severe cold is what only humans fear the most, and at this moment, with
She, the person who talks to Impermanence, is from the Dead Shadow Pavilion - or in other words, a monster from the Dead Shadow Pavilion, an evil messenger.
Instead of worrying about this "hole-filled" house leaking the secret of the conversation, the reputation of the evil messenger of the thief is more worth worrying about. But at the moment, the evil messenger is noncommittal to her appeal. Ye Xueci's fingers gently rubbed the tea cup
, she hesitated, not sure whether she should agree to the deal.
"Let's see." After a brief silence, Ye Xuici just responded, "With our current positions and identities, we can't do much."
Lord Shuangyue sighed softly. Obviously, this was not the answer she wanted.
"I hope you can believe that although it is inconvenient to explain in detail, I do have my own way to call Master Lintian. I can guarantee this with my reputation as Liudao Impermanence."
"Well, I believe you." Ye Xuici nodded and said, but seemed to understand it tacitly.
Her tone was very sincere, but unfortunately there was nothing more to say after she finished speaking.
"Well, anyway, I have made it clear. If you think about it, this deal can take effect at any time." Mr. Shuangyue shook his head helplessly, "Let's talk about other topics. You can help them in the Death Shadow Pavilion.
Have you been doing this for many years? Have you made any... special discoveries during this time? For example, are there anything unusual or activities that you think are unusual..."
Ye Xuici still smiled politely, but in comparison, her tone seemed a little indifferent, not as friendly as her expression.
"It turns out that I was a little pretentious, and the help you said you could help me was all false. It was just incidental at most. This drunkard's intention turned out to be about the information about the Death Shadow Pavilion? I
Speaking of which, no wonder you want me to come to such a far place instead of going to the Shadow Pavilion to say hello to your colleagues."
Regardless of whether Mr. Shuangyue meant this or not, she felt like her words were being pushed away. She let out a sigh through her nose, feeling a little bit brave. She didn't expect Ye Xuici to believe her at all.
, just continued indifferently:
"I think you have misunderstood. These words are all casual. After all, the business is over, and I am in no hurry to go back when I see you."
Ye Xuici covered her mouth with her hands and yawned half-seriously:
"Although it's December, you seem to be very leisurely. Are you giving me some entertainment, or are you making fun of me? A man from the Six Paths Impermanence proposed this to an evil envoy who often works for the Death Shadow Pavilion.
The question - do you expect me to betray 'one of my people'? Or do you prefer me to talk nonsense and make up some interesting pretexts to get rid of you? Anyway, I don't understand the mystery at all."
Such a bunch of soft nails with a gun and a stick smashed down, Shuangyue Jun didn't know how to answer the question. It seemed impossible to dig something out of Ye Xuici's mouth, although she didn't report it either.
What a great hope. She sighed secretly. In this regard, she was no match for the Evil Angel of Thieves who specialized in digging out secrets.
Then again...does Ye Xuici's ability really belong to her completely? Or is it given to her by some external object and strengthened for her?
Lord Shuangyue knows that in the hands of this evil angel, there is a fragment of Yun Waijing. This situation can be considered to have been created by Lord Seoyue. Yun Waijing and the ability to steal information appear to be so
It fits, so Ye Xuici, who owns the broken mirror and becomes the evil envoy of the thieves, is he inextricably linked to this fragment?
whether……
If she doesn't have this fragment, she loses this fragment... Will Ye Xuici's power as the evil envoy of the Thief be weakened in some way? Looking at the bright side, does this even mean that as long as she no longer has Yun Waijing?
fragments, will she even be deprived of the qualification to exist as the Evil Envoy of Thieves?
Although the idea is too simple, such a speculation is not groundless, and it is not even impossible to implement it to verify this conjecture. However, Shuangyue Lord knows that now is not the time.
At least for now, she can't do this. Ye Xuici, like Death Shadow Pavilion, still needs to be regarded as a neutral existence for the time being - although even Death Shadow Pavilion may no longer be a truly neutral existence.
.
It can only be said that one benefit brought by this attitude is that Ye Xuici can still have a good conversation with her.
"It's not like there aren't things that are debatable about the serious things you mentioned." Ye Xuici sat up slightly and said seriously, "Can you really guarantee Master Lintian's attitude? You don't want to elaborate.
He only said that he would guarantee it with the reputation of the Six Paths of Impermanence. Such a false name was still a little underwhelming to convince me. As for whether Lintian Master would help, I didn’t have any real feeling of being guaranteed."
She is very cautious, Mr. Shuangyue thought. But being so concerned about this issue may also mean that she is seriously weighing it - seriously considering the possibility of agreeing to Mr. Shuangyue's previous proposal. Thinking about it, she is still a little confused.
Ask a question:
"Why do you say that? You know that I have a relationship with Master Lintian. If you want to ask him for help in this matter, it won't be a big problem."
"There's one thing that maybe you don't know. Master Lintian came here before and wanted to enter the Shadow Pavilion for investigation, but was stopped by someone and couldn't go in." She said casually, "The matter of dogs catching mice.
, these righteous warriors have done a lot. Ah, don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of targeting Master Lintian."
So there are indeed some secrets hidden inside the Death Shadow Pavilion that you don’t want others to know? Shuangyue Jun was keenly aware of it. She asked: "No wonder I called you to speak so far away, and you agreed easily.
I. Could this be a proposal that suits your needs?"
"You are really joking." Ye Xuici said lightly, "Look at every household in the towns and villages that doesn't have a door or a lock? Are they all hiding some ulterior secrets?
Breaking into a private house cannot be justified anywhere. Are you willing to expose your family background to others easily? That is really generous."
Her words were watertight, but Shuangyue Jun was not so easily deceived. Ye Xuici probably didn't know this, but they both knew it well, and these words were enough to temporarily block Shuangyue Jun's doubts.
.
But doubts will not be dismissed so casually... The fact that Master Lintian also doubts the Death Shadow Pavilion and even visited it in person is enough for Lord Shuangyue to reserve her attitude. She also knows a lot of information, such as the Death Shadow Pavilion
That corpse pool—she could almost believe that the disease that caused panic among people everywhere was born and spread from here.
There is another disaster that has caused a stir in the world in recent years, and it is also inextricably linked to the Dead Shadow Pavilion. The puppet is a technology blatantly provided to the Impermanent Ghosts by the Dead Shadow Pavilion, and the origin of its creation is also
It should still be buried within the realm of Death Shadow Pavilion.
She heard from nearby monsters that strange smoke often emitted from the land of Qinglize, carrying an ominous atmosphere. Later, visible phenomena such as smoke disappeared and were no longer witnessed, but that special...
Weird breath
The breath is still lingering in the vegetation and water. Do those smokes really no longer exist? Mr. Shuangyue doesn't think so. The blinding method is a common spell. If the people of the Dead Shadow Pavilion use it to cover up, it will never be harmful to people.
Surprising new things.
These are things that Lord Shuangyue has thought about for a long time. Just because of the many doubts that Shenying Pavilion already has, she should try harder to see if she can at least find out something valuable. She picked up the tea cup
, tried to ask again in a natural tone:
"I have also heard a little bit about the family background of the Dead Shadow Pavilion. Besides you, is there another evil angel? It seems to be a bad-mouthed evil messenger? Is he working for the Dead Shadow Pavilion like you now, or is there something else?
arrange?"
"..."
It's a pity that Ye Xuici has already been alerted. Not only was this alert difficult to dispel with a few words from Lord Shuangyue, but it only got worse with her further questions.
"He has left Death Shadow Pavilion a long time ago." Ye Xuici stared at Lord Shuangyue for a while without smiling, and then replied in an unpleasant tone, "It's better to have a sense of moderation when inquiring about other people's inside information."
"I'm just asking casually. After all, you old people in the Shadow Pavilion are also old acquaintances of mine. For example, that She Ji - won't he go with the bad words?"
Ye Xuici's brows furrowed even more obviously. Her mood turned directly into a slightly biting sarcasm:
"You are very leisurely and care about other people's family affairs. How is your own family affairs? It seems that the troubles you have caused have not been cleaned up yet."
Shuangyue Jun was not unprepared. There were many people who provoked her about Qiyu, including this time. But when Ye Xuici actually used it as a sharp verbal weapon, she still felt a stinging pain.
Joy.
Be calm. She told herself gently. This was just a way to interfere with her thinking, and what she wanted to do was to solve some troubles. Even if there was no definite information, she should still make guesses based on the known information.
She might as well think about it, Ye Xuici's refusal to respond directly, does this in itself imply the answer? Combined with what the nearby monsters said, it has been a while since she has seen She Ji... This can be compared with him and the bad words.
The possibility of leaving together is right. If he is not in the Dead Shadow Pavilion, there will be a shortage of manpower there, which is understandable, and all of this can logically lead to the result that Ye Xuici will come directly from the Dead Shadow Pavilion.
.
If there were no accidents, someone should be monitoring the bad words. For example, Lord Ruyue, or Lord Yingyue. But now... due to some well-known reasons, there is really no supervision over there.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the teahouse. When Lord Shuangyue looked over, Ye Xuici had already spoken:
"Come in."
Those who came were from the Death Shadow Pavilion.
