"Do you think that person will show up?"
The seemingly frail Ruoliu man drinks coarsely, finishing half a jar of wine in one gulp.
Half a jar down, his expression remained unchanged.
On the other hand, the physically strong-looking man didn’t touch any alcohol, only having a cup of tea in front of him.
"He will. If he wants the Golden Crow Egg Shell, he has to co to us. Not to ntion within Purple Cloud City, even throughout the entire Longteng Country, it’s impossible for a third person to know the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg."
The tall, sturdy man took a sip of tea, his gaze cool and collected.
The bizarre pair presented before him were the rcenaries from the Black Brilliance Market that provided information to Xin Lin.
However, these two rcenaries were clearly different from common ones; they were only two in number.
Typical rcenaries would have at least five people.
Yet, a smaller number doesn’t an this rcenary group is weaker.
Contrarily, these two were legendary figures in the rcenary realm.
But people who had seen their true faces were exceedingly rare.
As it approached the third watch, fewer people were in Taoyao Pavilion.
Yet, they still hadn’t seen the person who issued the Hire Order.
"Looks like he won’t be coming tonight. We should think of other thods..."
The Ruoliu man yawned, preparing to stand up.
Just as he was getting up, he saw a woman walking into Taoyao Pavilion.
Her appearance imdiately drew their attention.
The reason was simple: the woman was exceptionally beautiful.
In a place like Taoyao Pavilion, where beauties were as common as clouds and the Oiran were famous, this woman still managed to outshine them.
The woman had skin that seed like it could break upon a gentle touch, black hair, a curvaceous figure, and eyes as deep as ink, brimming with starlight.
She seed to be looking for soone, glancing around before lifting her head.
The Ruoliu man whistled softly.
"Beauty."
"She’s here."
The tall, sturdy man locked eyes with her and nodded slightly towards her.
A nearby pimp approached, and after the woman whispered sothing to him, he nodded and bowed repeatedly, leading the lady upstairs.
The visitor, of course, was Xin Lin.
After removing the leech eggs from Master Ji’s body earlier, perceiving the hour, it was around nightfall.
Considering the date, tonight was the appointed night for her eting with the mysterious rcenaries.
The location was conveniently at Taoyao Pavilion, so Xin Lin directly headed there alone.
To avoid drawing attention, she absorbed so True Qi from the Qi Stone, temporarily resuming her usual appearance as Xin Lin.
Sure enough, after strolling around, apart from a few drunken gazes, no one in Taoyao Pavilion recognized her.
Xin Lin hadn’t expected that the rcenaries she was eting would be so young.
One sturdy and one slim, both seed to be Martial Artists; the muscular one appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, and the delicate one seed just over twenty.
However, Xin Lin always understood the principle of not judging by appearances, so she reserved judgnt on the strength of these two rcenaries.
"You’re the one looking for the Golden Crow Egg Shell, we can provide clues, but..."
Both the tall, sturdy man and the Ruoliu man had a flicker of astonishnt in their eyes, but both were not ordinary people and went straight to confirming each other’s identities.
"How much reward do you want before you tell the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg Shell?"
Father’s poisoning was temporarily under control, but Xin Lin knew it was only temporary. The next ti it flared up, the toxicity would be even more severe.
The ti left for her and her father was running short.
