638: Chapter 51: Personal Information 638: Chapter 51: Personal Information When Da Zhe saw Luo Qiu pin the hairclip onto You Ye, he sensibly retreated back to the corridor outside and waited quietly.
The experience of being a Black soul envoy instilled a natural awe of Luo Qiu in Da Zhe… Yet this scene, for some reason, made Da Zhe feel that Luo Qiu didn’t seem so mysterious.
It seemed…
he was being pulled back a little more towards being human?
“Don’t just stand there, e over.”
While lost in thought, Da Zhe heard Luo Qiu’s voice…
It was still the same gentle voice from the two nights spent in Luo Jia Village, giving Da Zhe the illusion of returning to the old house in that village, only this time from the second night extending to the third.
But at this moment, a shadow slowly seeped in from the main door, finally transforming into a figure clad in a black robe…
another Black soul envoy?
Da Zhe scrutinized the figure with curiosity and uncertainty.
“No.
18, I just got back, and you showed up too.
Are you here to wele me?” Luo Qiu smiled at No.
18, who had appeared before him.
The appearing Black soul envoy was indeed No.
18.
Facing the boss’s greeting, No.
18 didn’t have time to assess Da Zhe, also a Black soul envoy, and hurriedly responded, “Subordinate greets the master.
Additionally, there are a few master files here.”
No.
18 respectfully extended both hands, bowed her head as she handed over the white card… Watching No.
18’s respectful gesture, Da Zhe subconsciously opened his mouth, his mind momentarily blank—if it were him, he probably couldn’t have behaved so subserviently.
“Oh?
Leave it there, I’ll look through it later.” Luo Qiu nodded.
No.
18 raised her head this time—these masters had been recently collected during spare moments.
Although not immediately attainable, focusing more on Wang Yuechuan and Professor Cui Fo, who obtained The Book of the Dead, doesn’t allow shirking the typical duties of a Black soul envoy.
The moment Boss Luo returned to the city, No.
18, as a Black soul envoy, sensed it.
Additionally, there was also another presence of a Black soul envoy, but it felt pletely unfamiliar to her, prompting her to rush back to investigate the situation fully.
“This is Da Zhe, the new envoy I converted this time.”
Luo Qiu saw through No.
18’s thoughts and directly introduced, then after a moment of contemplation, suddenly said, “Hmm, from now on, Da Zhe will be temporarily in your care, No.
18.”
“In my care… of this subordinate?” No.
18 was startled.
Having entry-level guys temporarily follow experienced ones for business has somewhat bee a club tradition…
Typically, there is a period akin to partnering.
Yet, in over a hundred years within the club, apart from two Black soul envoys, one being Master No.9, converted by the former boss, and the other Tai Yinzi, converted by the current one.
“Are you unwilling?” Luo Qiu looked at No.
18.
No.
18 hastily shook her head, “No, no, how dare this subordinate refuse.
It’s an honor to be personally named by the master…
It’s just that this subordinate has no experience in guiding Black soul envoys, and I fear doing poorly.”
If it were Tai Yinzi, he’d likely have agreed promptly, right?
Luo Qiu gently smiled, “It’s fine, teach as you see fit.
After all, how much Da Zhe can prehend is his own matter; you don’t need to bear any burden—I have no stringent demands.”
No.
18 nodded, “In that case, this subordinate will follow your instruction and properly guide this new colleague.”
…
After a brief gathering and chatting casually, Da Zhe left neatly following No.
18 without uttering a word, appearing quite poised.
“Master, is it appropriate to let Da Zhe follow No.
18?” You Ye asked curiously.
As the one who has been managing the Black soul envoys, and potentially broadening the types of masters, You Ye usually considers the various personalities of different Black soul envoys.
In truth, over time, it’s been proven that different Black soul envoys have distinct preferences in selecting their masters.
Some fancy human children as candidates, others prefer young beautiful girls, and some, like No.
18, appear impartial but essentially enjoy cultivating mages… There are also ones like Tai Yinzi, who focus on how to cater to the boss’s personal hobbies.
“Isn’t there temporarily no more suitable option?” Luo Qiu said indifferently, “Tai Yinzi, as the main host of the ‘Main God’ project, cannot easily leave his post.
So for now, No.
18 is the only choice.”
As he spoke, he turned to You Ye and softly said, “I can’t have you doing it yourself, can I?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy your tea.”
“Another cup of black tea, master?”
“Thank you.” Luo Qiu smiled, and continued, “Besides, if Da Zhe was the type easily influenced, he wouldn’t have been recognized by Zhan Lu, right?”
You Ye nodded, asking no further questions, only skillfully taking a piece of cake from the birdcage dish, carefully slicing it into small, attractive portions fit for consumption for her master.
Yet, as her wrist cut the last piece, it unexpectedly trembled slightly, making the previously fluid movements bee awkward.
Luo Qiu asked, “Does it need some oil again?
Need some help?”
“Then… then I’ll trouble the master,” You Ye gently nodded, “some parts of the back are also due for maintenance.”
Was You Ye being affectionate?
Was it a mistake?
An illusion perhaps…
“Let’s head upstairs then.”
…
…
The few white cards delivered by No.
18 lay quietly on the desk in the boss’s study on the basement level.
Having just pleted You Ye’s maintenance, Luo Qiu now sat there silently, his fingers gliding over the information cards.
After a while, Luo Qiu pulled out one card, and it instantly disappeared from his palm upon unfolding.
It would reappear in No.
18’s hands as a response from the boss.
Afterward, Luo Qiu retrieved a map from the drawer, spreading it open before him—if Black Soul No.9, who had left for a task earlier, was here, he would find that this map was identical to the one in his possession.
The lone red dot on the map continued to blink.
“Just about right…” Luo Qiu pondered for a moment, then marked another point on the map, creating a second designated red dot.
After which, Luo Qiu rolled the map back up, returned it to the drawer, and left the study.
His next destination was—the very bottom level, where the altar was located.
Arriving here, the altar rose automatically from the ground, emanating billowing black mist like it was weling his arrival.
He approached within a meter of the altar and after a moment of silence, extended his palm.
A glow of white light floated in Luo Qiu’s palm, and within this light, there existed a small tooth.
“Query,” Luo Qiu said seriously, “Are Luo Qi’s parents alive?”
“This information requires a payment of fifty years of life, will you pay?”
“Pay.”
“Answer: No.”
“Next query.” Luo Qiu pondered a while, “Besides me, are there any living blood relatives of Luo Qi?”
“This information requires a payment of a hundred years of life, will you pay?”
“Pay.”
“Answer: Yes.”
“Then…” Luo Qiu gently squeezed the tooth in his hand, “purchase personal information then.”
