It had been days that they had flown using their swords towards Beifang Empire, and finally after that long journey they were able to leisurely walk to climb the advancing Empire.
The crowd and tall buildings showed Beifang's prosperity, Jiang Su looked at the shop that sold various knickknacks and he began to get excited about the crazy idea of buying something for his master, but he was sure it would end up being a sharp glare that gulped in horror if he regarded Qiuxi as a child.
Jiang Su then looked at Qingru who was like she had gotten used to the crowd of Beifang and she then asked. "You've been a Ghost Squad long enough, but I still don't know where you're from?"
As it became a hallmark, Qingru answered him kindly and her pair of eyes narrowed towards Jiang Su. "General Jiang, you can investigate my origins whenever you want, you can simply have some Shadow Troops do it."
Jiang Su chuckled. "If there's someone in front of me why would I bother to do it?"
All of the Ghost Generals and Ghost Troops were the result that Feng Shui gathered from various people with bad luck. Many of them are fugitives, a kara without family or shelter.
Regardless, all of them must have their own stories of which village came from or about the miserable life before meeting Feng Shui which eventually brought them together with a little girl who always wore a blood red dress.
Qingru was still smiling with an unchanging expression, and looked reluctant to tell Jiang Su anything.
Jiang Su glanced at him, he used to be an ordinary teenager living peacefully in a small peasant family. At nightfall, a group of robbers broke into his house and instantly massacred the entire Jiang Su family.
But the strange thing after searching the entire room of the robbers did not steal any items, not only that was the question of Jiang Su but what things they were looking for to come to the family of poor farmers. After committing murder they left Jiang Su who was still trembling in fear just like that.
"...."
Qingru just silently listened to every story of Jiang Su and when comparing them they had a fate that was not much different.
Despite remembering the sad story, Jiang Su still had a smiling facial expression like the man beside him.
He said to Qingru. "Well I was younger than vengeance, I let all my family rest in peace on the bridge of reincarnation and I began to live a new journey."
Jiang Su's new journey of choosing to devote his life to his little master as a choice that Jiang Su would not regret, even for the rest of his life.
She said. "We should immediately investigate the master's fiancee who is a fat trash."
If more and more heard the rumors circulating in Beifang's ears, the rumor about the ugly fat emperor was no longer just a rumor.
Jiang Su walked up to one of the knickknacks shops, she bought some and asked the seller.
"Where do I go to buy some information?"
The saleswoman said to them. "You simply walk straight from here then turn to the left street, go into the building that resembles a pagoda and it is the information tower of the Seven Golden Pagodas that can buy and sell all information of any kind."
The Seven Golden Pagodas were the closest information towers in Beifang, and the Empire became more advanced due to the ability to process information into the glory fields of the Beifang people. The one who had never heard the rumors must have thought that the hand holding Beifang must be a great Emperor, but most others did not expect that the emperor behind it was just an ugly 160kg obese man.
Qingru approached Jiang Su. "We should have split up to find information in different places, it would be better if we came back sooner to report to the master later."
Jiang Su agreed with Qingru's suggestion, they could hasten the time and split the tasks. "Alright, I'm going to the Information Tower."
Qingru nodded, after her matters were done she would meet Jiang Su to the Seven Golden Pagodas. "I'll accompany you after getting the information, General Jiang."
Jiang Su looked at the man who had already vanished using the science of lightening the body and he then turned around and walked lightly towards the Information Tower of the Seven Golden Pagodas.
After escaping from Jiang Su, Qingru immediately removed the mask of the Demon Slaying Ghost troops and replaced it using an unfamiliar and white mask. And when she changed the mask, Qingru did so quickly that her face did not look so clear like the wind that it only blew a part of her hair in an instant.
He immediately darted away to the Beifang palace, some of the guards who knew Qingru instantly saluted him upon seeing the pattern on the white mask.
He walked calmly into one of the rooms, and greeted some waiters who served a warm meal, and when the waiter saw Qingru's whereabouts then they immediately poured the drink into the cup and offered her politely. It didn't take long, a woman came to him.
Qingru asked the woman named Nanyue. "Has he returned?"
Nanyue answered. "We've given it to him, he's on his way."
Qingru handed him a paper she wrote without the knowledge of others, Nanyue accepted it and said after seeing Qingru's writing.
"This writing is really ugly, I can't read it." Nanyue smiled slightly.
Qingru did not care much about Nanyue's words even though the writing was ugly but could still be read clearly.
Nanyue folded the paper and kept it. "I'll deliver it."
Looking at Qingru who was standing up, Nanyue hurriedly said. "You just left?"
Qingru opened her voice. "I'm here with General Jiang, I need to see him right away because I'm a spy that Lord Yin slipped into her people Lin Qiu Xi's daughter."
Nanyue had no reason whatsoever to make Qingru stay a little longer, though, he then accompanied Qingru's path to escort the man as he knew that Qingru's job as a spy to watch over Lin Qiu Xi must have been more troublesome than all the tasks given by Yin Jinze.
Upon arriving at the exit gate, Nanyue saw a foreign man talking to some guards. Nanyue and Qingru approached him.
"I want to meet Senior Tang Yue he asked me to come here."
The guards were still facing him, but Nanyue hurriedly approached them and said to the man.
"What business is it looking for my brother?"
The man looked towards the woman who spoke to him, his eyes staring fixedly at a man wearing a black night robe with a white pattern mask, although foreign he could feel familiar things.
He said to Nanyue. "I am Xue Yanhai, and senior Tang told me to come to see him."
If Tang Yue had already told someone to meet her, it would definitely discuss some important matters.
Nanyue smiled happily at Xue Yanhai's presence so he immediately asked. "Who is famous as the Eagle Eye of Xue Yanhai?"
Nanyue bowed his body slightly."It's an honor to meet you in person."
He then told the guards to let Xue Yanhai in, after receiving Nanyue's orders the guards could not refuse him.
The eyes of Qingru who was covered in a white mask were still not diverted from Xue Yanhai, he wanted to know what reason brought Xue Yanhai here but now his meeting with Jiang Su in the Seven Golden Pagodas had to be delayed a little longer, so Qingru said to Nanyue.
"I think I should have a few cups before I go."
