The Mist Man sneered.
"You are so reckless, aren't you afraid of retribution one day?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? If I offend soone and soone wants to buy my information, feel free to sell it.
Or if you co to for hush money, that's fine too.
The information I sell doesn't involve what we need to do, so why shouldn't I sell it?"
"Well, then thank you, Chief Venerate, for personally bringing the information."
"No need for politeness." Fu Xiao smiled, turned around, and left.
Once the Mist Man was alone, he looked toward the Imperial City of Dali, his gaze somber.
He had previously felt that sothing was amiss, not quite normal.
Unfortunately, what he considered abnormal was deed by other significant figures to be minor details beyond the big picture.
Yet it was precisely those minor details that he felt were abnormal.
Dadui had disappeared, and the records along with it.
The past records that could be found about Dadui were all listed under other records, ntioned only in passing.
Now, the Imperial Family's library in Dali had even pulled out a county annal of a certain county in Dadui.
This kind of direct, even official record, was simply not found before.
Even if that book might have always been buried in the massive library of the Imperial Family.
But without them even realizing, an unknown change that Fu Xiao would have never found in his lifeti from that imnse stack of old papers.
Regrettably, he felt that the impact they are currently making on Dadui isn't enough to lead Fu Xiao to uncover such a county annal, but that was just his baseless speculation.
Everyone did a lot together, and years later, when changes finally began to show, proving their efforts weren't in vain,
his baseless contrarian stance sounded to others like saying those changes had nothing to do with you, it'd be strange if he were well-received.
Not to ntion among those people there were many strong figures, so of whom were significant figures.
Even for ordinary people, who worked hard for many years and finally saw so results, and you jump out and say these results have nothing to do with you, yet you can't provide a shred of evidence,
it's a miracle not to be beaten to death; they were simply lenient.
The Mist Man stood there, sighing.
Since Fu Xiao had taken over the position of Chief Venerate, he also clearly had his own ideas and dared to act on them.
People do change, the ancients didn't deceive .
...
"Young master, aren't you going ho, just fishing here again?" Cece brewed tea for Yu Ziqing while curiously asking.
"Not really, I want to see if the ssage arrives first or the person I'm waiting for gets here first."
"It could be dangerous."
"You are standing here, so any danger is within manageable limits."
After waiting for a few days, Su Li didn't co this ti, but a spy from the Shadow Departnt discreetly brought a Jade Scroll to Yu Ziqing.
Yu Ziqing took the Jade Scroll, sowhat amused.
The new Chief Venerate, can't he act a little? It's only been a few days, and he's already sent the ssage.
Couldn't he pretend to chase down leads for a few months before delivering it?
Looking at the Jade Scroll, the first on the list is indeed Dean Wu, who was already dead.
It not only ntioned that the person was Dean Wu but even considerately prepared a lot of information about Dean Wu, just in case Yu Ziqing didn't know who Dean Wu was.
Dean Wu's identity and background were crystal clear.
It also noted that Dean Wu was already dead, but how and where he died was unknown.
At first glance, this information seed like the Shadow Departnt had an incredibly extensive reach, as an uninvolved third party, gathered this information.
The second person, unsurprisingly, Yu Ziqing didn't recognize and had never heard of.
The current Sect Master of Infinite Sect in North West Qian, Cui Changping.
It included relatively detailed information.
The lineage of the Infinite Sect was also quite old, not particularly outstanding in strength nor particularly weak.
Originally, it was said to have continued on from early in this era, not long after the end of Ancient Tis.
The founder was untraceable, it was only certain that initially it was just a small sect.
Gradually growing bit by bit, it beca a major sect with a Ninth Tier in command.
Their location was originally not very good, close to Kuihou Country and also close to the Wilderness.
Now the Wilderness has almost literally beco a desolate wilderness, greatly impacting the Infinite Sect.
Their sect was originally skilled in cultivating Spirit Plants, but since the climate in the Wilderness drastically changed, many of the Infinite Sect's open-air cultivated Spirit Plants were damaged, and many carefully nurtured spirit fields were also affected.
Aside from the Sect Master, who was at Ninth Tier, there was no second at Ninth Tier, so its presence was not strong.
Sect Master Cui Changping, who practiced the Infinite Four Seas Technique of the Infinite Sect, didn't have any particularly outstanding aspects other than enduring Qi veins.
This generation of Infinite Sect, if not for the current Sect Master successfully Advancing to Ninth Tier, would have fallen to a sect without a Ninth Tier, plumting from the rank of major sects.
Just glancing briefly, Yu Ziqing tucked away the Jade Scroll.
Whether the information given by Fu Xiao was true or not wasn't certain yet; he would wait for Yang to confirm it with his own eyes.
The ssage he had Su Li take back couldn't possibly be hidden.
If it really was this Cui Changping, he definitely would know too.
Entering the Seventh Floor, Yu Ziqing called out to Yang.
"The ssage has arrived, one is Dean Wu, which we all know. The other is Cui Changping, the Sect Master of the Infinite Sect in North West Qian."
