Chapter 195: The Wife of the Sect Master?
Qin Xiaoxi raised her delicate brows slightly as she spoke. A gentle breeze brushed past her hair, and her expression had a hint of worry.
“That’s what I’m worried about.” Jiang Yun shook his head.
“Then what should we do now, Master?” Yu Sisi was very puzzled.
“Now? You guys continue to follow this lead on He Zhao.” Jiang Yun thought for a moment before instructing Sisi.
“What about the Emerald Pavilion?”
Jiang Yun smacked his lips and sighed lightly. He replied, “Don’t worry about the Emerald Pavilion for now. Miss Qin and I will be in charge of investigating.”
Why was this so? Jiang Yun felt that this group of foreigners had an unknown background. Moreover, the Master of the Emerald Pavilion was a legendary character. If Yu Sisi and the others followed him, they would probably be in danger.
“Do you really not need my help?” Yu Sisi confirmed again. Her lips slightly opened, and there seemed to be a hint of worry and disappointment in her eyes.
Jiang Yun smiled.
“There’s no need. Without you, Kong Li would have no one to care about him.”
When Kong Li heard this, he looked at Jiang Yun with a hint of resentment.
“Then, this is should be it. Let’s meet in front of Fengyi Restaurant before midnight tonight.” Jiang Yun reminded again.
“Okay… Master,” Yu Sisi agreed.
“Master, Miss Qin, you have to be careful too! Master Qin said that the Master of the Emerald Pavilion has an extraordinary background,” Xiong Ji said quickly. Kong Li also echoed from the side, but he was mostly talking to Qin Xiaoxi.
This inevitably made Jiang Yun roll his eyes at him.
“So, when I was away, did you guys fall behind in spiritual power cultivation?” Jiang Yun asked.
“Of course not, but Xiong Ji only cared about eating in the Qin family.” Kong Li reported with a cheap look on his face, his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
“Don’t spout nonsense!”
Everyone was just chatting and laughing with Jiang Yun.
However, no one noticed that Yu Sisi’s eyelids were slightly drooping as she looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table in a daze. A hint of disappointment and dejection flashed across her face.
After the three disciples and their master along with Qin Xiaoxi were given their respective tasks, they split up and started to work.
At this moment, the pedestrians in Thunder City were gradually getting fewer. The sky was filled with dark clouds and there was a cold wind blowing constantly.
Jiang Yun raised his head slightly.
Sigh, the weather in Thunder City is about to change.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Yun hurriedly stood up.
Qin Xiaoxi also stood up.
The two of them slowly walked toward the entrance of the Emerald Pavilion. The Emerald Pavilion was a huge three-story building located at the intersection.
The signboard above the entrance was engraved with the words “Emerald Pavilion”. Usually, there would be people coming in and out of the place at this time, but today, there were very few people.
“Stay by my side in a while, and don’t talk,” Jiang Yun said to Qin Xiaoxi. “Let’s buy something and find out about the background of these people.”
“I don’t have money.” Qin Xiaoxi hurriedly took two steps back.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you pay!”
Qin Xiaoxi naturally nodded in understanding. The two of them walked in together after saying that.
Just as they stepped into the Emerald Pavilion, Jiang Yun saw that the seats in the hall were empty. When the clerk at the counter saw Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi enter, he immediately went forward to greet them.
“Oh, isn’t this Sect Master Jiang? You have graced my shop with your presence.” The clerk’s face was dark, and he wore a cloth hat. His cheekbones were protruding, and there seemed to be a ravine on his chin.
“I want to buy some gifts for this lady.” Jiang Yun smiled at Qin Xiaoxi.
Then, he instructed the clerk of the Emerald Pavilion.
“Alright, I will arrange a seat for you to choose from. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!” The clerk understood what Jiang Yun meant. Then, he beckoned for Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun to take a seat in the corner.
Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi sat down together.
Jiang Yun was calm, while Qin Xiaoxi was a little uncomfortable.
After a while, the clerk of the Emerald Pavilion placed a book in front of them. The four corners of the book were decorated with golden lace. The cover looked like it was made of precious crocodile skin.
The clerk of the Emerald Pavilion was also very enthusiastic. He quickly opened the book for him, and there were many pictures and introductions of precious accessories on it. Jiang Yun roughly looked at them and found that the price starts from thousand silver coins.
The clerk glanced at the two of them, and then he let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?”
The two of them also looked at him strangely in unison.
“What a beautiful couple. This must be Sect Master Jiang’s wife. Sect Master Jiang must be here today to pick a gift for your wife.” The waiter shook his head and sighed. His expression was extremely exaggerated.
Qin Xiaoxi’s face turned red when she heard this. She wished she could find a hole to hide in right now.
Jiang Yun also waved his hand in a panic. He didn’t dare to look at Qin Xiaoxi. Just as he was about to explain, the clerk interrupted him.
“You two are such a perfect couple. Don’t say anymore. You’ve come to the right place today. I’ll definitely pick out a suitable accessory for Sect Master Jiang to gift to the Madam!”
“Ah, no…” Qin Xiaoxi’s face was burning. She stuttered as her hands scratched the chair awkwardly. However, the next second, she felt a warm and powerful presence.
Jiang Yun gently placed his palm on the back of Qin Xiaoxi’s palm, which she had nowhere to put it, and slowly held it. A trace of warmth came from Jiang Yun’s palm, which made Qin Xiaoxi feel better.
She stole a glance at Jiang Yun, who was looking at the merchandise book and couldn’t say a word. She let Jiang Yun put his hand on the back of her palm. A trace of warmth flashed in her eyes, and her originally red face gradually softened.
However, before she could finish her words, the clerk had already started to pick out the goods for them.
“Sect Master, Madam, this is an extremely high-quality bracelet in our shop,” the clerk began to introduce. The jade bracelet on the display was almost pure milky white, there weren’t many other colors mixed within it, and it was extremely shiny.
Jiang Yun recognized it.
It was a white jade with goat fat. It was also an extremely high-quality jade. The price on the catalog was as high as 10 gold coins.
However, from the corner of his eye, Jiang Yun noticed that Qin Xiaoxi shook her head slightly so he continued to flip through the book.
