Two-Faced Monster King - C371
After sensing Shui Qinan’s aura, Yin Huaqing immediately teleported to wait for her to come down. Watching her safe and sound was his greatest happiness. “You’re back?” Hearing his words, Shui Qinan’s heart suddenly froze, and then she immediately replied with a smile, “En, I’m back!”
Yin Huaqing extended his left hand out, and Shui Qinan looked at him with a smile in his eyes, then walked forward and grabbed onto his hand. Yin Huaqing was also smiling, the two of them walked for a while.
“Are you silver-haired on a full moon night?” The moment Shui Qinan touched his hand, she had already felt the situation on his body, and the more she thought about it, the heavier her mood became.
Yin Huaqing could tell from Shui Qinan’s words that it was not a question but a statement. Seeing him like this, Shui Qinan knew that even if she were to ask again, he wouldn’t say a thing, so she chose to not ask.
“I took back the position of Demon King. If you are willing, I can also save Xiao You.” Yin Huaqing said as he looked at Shui Qinan deeply.
Even though Shui Qinan wanted to personally save Xiao You, she knew very well that the current her could not do so! She couldn’t beat Xue Kui! Shui Qinan took a deep breath in and out, looked at Yin Huaqing, and earnestly warned him, “You must be careful!” After Yin Huaqing finished listening, he smiled and lightly tapped the tip of her nose.
Staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, Shui Qinan was still a little worried, and also a little worried about the Mercenary Guild at Blizzard City. After thinking for a long time, she decided to head over there and see what was going on.
Shui Qinan and the divine beast had just arrived at Blizzard City, and they felt that the atmosphere inside was extremely strange.
She stood at the city gate and looked at the crowds on the streets. Zhu Er’s transformation into a Vermillion Bird was happening above Shui Qinan’s head.
Shui Qinan followed everyone’s gaze and looked around, not paying attention to their whispers, and said to Zhu Er: “Follow me.”
She passed through the crowd and brought Zhu Er to a quiet alley. Zhu Er didn’t wait for Shui Qinan to speak, she reflexively landed on the ground and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a ten year old girl.
She pouted, and the moment she landed she ran towards Shui Qinan, acting like she was acting spoiled as she said: “Master, I really don’t like the look of someone who has turned into a bird.”
When Shui Qinan heard this, she only chuckled faintly. She lowered his head and rubbed her head, as though she was silently consoling her.
Only after a long time did she raise her head and look outside through the alleyway. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Zhu Er followed Shui Qinan’s gaze, and also looked towards the street through the mouth of the alley, asking in puzzlement: “Master, what are you looking at?”
Shui Qinan thought for a long time before slowly opening her mouth: “Don’t you think that we haven’t seen the people from the Mercenary Guild since we entered the city?”
Zhu Er was startled, she then realised what her master meant, and said hesitantly: “Master, you mean …”
The Mercenary Guild that had accepted her mission was actually gone, and the counter that had Tuoba Mercenary Guild on it was also sealed.
“Let’s go out and take a look.”
The two of them walked out of the alleyway, and Zhu Er followed behind Shui Qinan. She looked at the crowd before him. Shui Qinan walked over to the fruit stall by the side and smiled at the stall owner, then asked softly: “Little brother, I want to ask you something.”
When the young man selling fruits heard the noise, he immediately raised his head. When he saw Shui Qinan, he was first startled, then replied enthusiastically: “Young miss looks unfamiliar, I think you just came to this Blizzard City. You found the right person to ask me about it.”
This little brother wasn’t lying.
Every day, they set up stalls on the streets, and the information they gathered was much more thorough than those of the experts.
Shui Qinan smirked and asked softly: “When I came to the city, how did I find that there were fewer mercenaries? I wonder what happened?”
So that’s what you were talking about, “the little brother seemed to understand this matter very well. He suppressed his voice and moved closer to Shui Qinan, saying,” There’s a Mercenary Guild called the Tuoba Mercenary Group. Because they stole the city lord’s Purplish Goldstone, they were sealed by the city lord. ”
After hearing this, Shui Qinan immediately furrowed her brows, and muttered: “She stole … City Lord’s Purplish Goldstone? ”
“That’s right, this matter was the subject of a lot of commotion in the city, and they all ended up in jail. I heard, ah, they actually stole one hundred thousand of the City Lord’s Purplish Goldstone, one hundred thousand! ”
The little brother seemed to be very focused on the “one hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone”. It was likely that he had never seen such a large number of Purplish Goldstone before, and he was extremely angry.
Zhu Er stood beside Shui Qinan and pulled her sleeves as she softly asked: “Master, what should we do?”
Shui Qinan looked at her following Zhu Er’s hand, then turned to look at Little Brother, smiled slightly and said: “Thank you, Little Brother.”
With that, he turned and left.
The young man behind her looked at her back and was a bit confused. He scratched his forehead and continued working with his head lowered.
Zhu Er followed behind Shui Qinan and quickly caught up with her hurried footsteps. She said quickly: “Master, that Tuoba Mercenary Group wouldn’t have really stolen the city lord’s Purplish Goldstone, right?”
Only, Shui Qinan did not respond to her question, and continued to walk forward.
What she gave to the Tuoba Mercenaries was a hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone. Since the mayor had lost a hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone, he didn’t know if he should say that the mercenaries were truly unlucky.
The two of them quickly walked to the entrance of the City Lord’s Palace. Shui Qinan stared at the vermillion door for a long time before stepping forward to knock.
However, the guard at the door stopped them before they could get close. He loudly shouted: “Who are you?”
Shui Qinan coldly glanced at the two, and Zhu Er, who was behind him, came out, and shouted loudly: “We are looking for the City Lord!”
“Looking for the City Lord?”
The two guards scoffed, sized the two of them up, and mocked them: “Who are you, to actually dare to come to the City Lord’s Mansion to cause trouble? And you, little girl, it’s better for you to leave quickly, so that we don’t have to chase you guys away later! ”
She really did not want to waste time with these people, yet she could not directly charge in. She could only say coldly, “I have something to discuss with the mayor regarding the Tuoba Mercenary Group.”
The news of Tuoba Mercenary Group stealing one hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone had already spread throughout the entire city, so these two guards were naturally aware of this as well. However, they looked at Shui Qinan suspiciously, and said hesitantly: “This matter has been investigated thoroughly, what can you say?”
Shui Qinan still wanted to say something, but Zhu Er, who was beside him, had no patience left. She immediately rushed forward and said at the same time: “Master, don’t waste time talking to them, we’ll just barge in.”
