In the coffin shop, Leng Shiqi listened to Mao Cai's narration, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became!
What Mao Cai said was exactly what Qu Xinran told Ji Gu after Leng Shiqi left.
After connecting all of this together, Leng Shiqi finally understood that the person who asked the Blood-Cloth Pavilion to assassinate Bao Pengyi was Qu Xinran!
"Maybe when I went to find Qu Xinran, he had already guessed my identity, so he agreed to my request so easily," Leng Shiqi thought to himself, and at the same time, he knew where he had miscalculated.
He had never thought that his employer was Qu Xinran!
Since the Blood-Cloth Pavilion strictly kept the identity of the employer a secret, he had never thought about who the employer was from the beginning, which led him to step into Qu Xinran's plan step by step.
In the end, Qu Xinran transferred all the resentment of the Heavenly Cloud Tower to him!
"I actually became a scapegoat!"
Leng Shiqi could not help but feel resentful. Since he came to this world, he had never been schemed against like this.
However, this incident also reminded him that although he had schemed against others on the Blood Fog Island before, his opponents were all young teenagers.
Even if some of them were very mature, they were still ignorant of the world. Leng Shiqi, who had lived two lives, could easily guess their thoughts.
However, now that he had come to the Great Thousand World, the opponents he faced were far from comparable to the teenagers on the Blood Fog Island!
It was not only the difference in cultivation realm, but also the difference in scheming and shrewdness!
Leng Shiqi secretly decided to be more careful in the future, but he immediately thought of another question. How did Mao Cai know about this?
And he knew so clearly?
He looked at Mao Cai coldly.
Mao Cai smiled and said, "Ambassador, the source of this information is absolutely reliable, so you can rest assured.
It's a pity that after I got the news last night, I couldn't find you. Now that Ji Gu has run away overnight, I'm afraid we can't catch up with him. "
Even if he did not say it, Leng Shiqi could guess most of it. Mao Cai probably had spies among the City Guards.
"Your information is indeed very valuable to me. Tell me, how much do you want?"
Leng Shiqi admitted that he was a little careless this time. Fortunately, Mao Cai was well-informed. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if he encountered people from Tianyun Tower in the future.
When Mao Cai heard that he was going to pay, his two little eyes immediately narrowed into slits. "Hehehe, this lowly one has always been honest with both the old and the young. Furthermore, this lowly one has specially informed the Esteemed Envoy of the news. This lowly one is showing his sincerity.
As you know, this lowly one has to support all the informants in Shangyang City. That's not a small sum of money. "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi saw that he wanted to continue being long-winded, so he interrupted, "Just tell me how much it is!"
Mao Cai didn't say anything. Instead, he stuck out a finger and looked at Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi chuckled and threw out two spirit stones.
Mao Cai immediately caught the spirit stones and his eyes lit up. However, he hesitated when he picked up the second spirit stone and said, "Esteemed Envoy, this?"
Leng Shiqi said coldly, "I want all the information about Qu Xinran!"
When Mao Cai heard this, he seemed to have guessed what Leng Shiqi was going to do. He was immediately shocked, "Esteemed Envoy, what are you going to do?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I just want you to give me information about Qu Xinran. Isn't one spirit stone enough?"
Mao Cai said hesitantly, "But, but this is against the rules."
"Huh?" Leng Shiqi frowned.
Mao Cai continued, "Esteemed Envoy, you may not know this, but the intelligence disciples of our sect can only provide information to the Esteemed Envoys who have a mission.
If there is no mission, we are not allowed to disclose information at will.
After all, we are serving the sect, not selling information. "
Leng Shiqi understood after hearing this, but he didn't care about this at this time. He said directly, "Since there are sect rules, I won't make things difficult for you.
However, rules are dead and people are alive. Do you want to return this spirit stone to me? "
Mao Cai's hand holding the spirit stone began to tremble. There was a look of struggle in his eyes. In the end, he handed the spirit stone over and said, "Forgive me, but I can't break the sect rules."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi was a little surprised!
He could see that Mao Cai was really a person who loved money as much as his life, but such a person was actually so conservative!
"What an interesting person."
Leng Shiqi thought to himself. He then said, "You are really loyal to the sect, but I also accepted the mission to assassinate Qu Xinran."
"Uh, Esteemed Envoy, please don't bully me. I have never received any information about this."
Leng Shiqi sat on the chair next to him and said slowly, "I don't have any information now, but I can find someone to go to the Blood Clothing Pavilion with the spirit stone and issue the mission to assassinate Qu Xinran. Then I will accept it myself.
It's just a matter of making two more trips. At that time, I will still come to you to ask for information. Unfortunately, most of the reward will be taken by the sect, and I will lose out.
If I lose out, so be it. As long as I can kill Qu Xinran, I will accept it.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid someone won't even get half a spirit stone. "
After hearing these words, Mao Cai was a little stunned. He really didn't expect Leng Shiqi to think of such a loophole.
He still hesitated and said, "Although that is the case, but, but …"
Seeing that Mao Cai was still hesitating, Leng Shiqi took out nine spirit stones from his mustard seed bag and placed them on the table!
These spirit stones looked crystal clear and faintly emitted a faint spirit light. It was very eye-catching.
Leng Shiqi said, "Instead of losing the spirit stones to the sect, it is better to give them to people who need them more. It saves me from making two more trips. What do you think?"
Leng Shiqi's words were like the last straw that finally crushed Mao Cai's psychological defense.
Mao Cai gritted his teeth and said quietly, "Deal!
But Esteemed Envoy, you must not leak this matter. Otherwise, I will die even if I have ten heads! "
"Don't worry, I understand," Leng Shiqi replied seriously.
Mao Cai looked at the nine spirit stones on the table and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Not long after, Mao Cai brought over two pieces of information. Leng Shiqi opened them and quickly read them. During this time, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Soon, Leng Shiqi walked out of the coffin shop.
At this time, Mao Cai suddenly pounced on the table and stuffed the spirit stones into his arms. His face was full of smiles, but as he took them, he muttered, "I didn't break the rules, I didn't break the rules …"
When he finished taking all the spirit stones, an extremely soft sound suddenly came from the next room, but he was still keenly aware of it.
He immediately stopped smiling and walked to the side room. Then, he opened a secret passage and took out a piece of information.
"Urgent information?"
Mao Cai opened it and took a look. His face immediately changed and he shouted, "Not good, Esteemed Envoy, come back quickly!"
