Jiang Yeqian, “???”
‘What did he mean by “not just”?’
Qi Qingyao shrugged, rather relaxed and with a nonchalant look on her face. “Well.”
“So, you do understand his objective, right?” ‘It must be to kill me.’ Li Ruoxuan thought to himself.
“Objective…” Qi Qingyao drawled. She paused for a moment with her eyes shut before opening them and retorting calmly, “If you beg me, maybe I’ll pity you enough to tell you.”
“!!” Li Ruoxuan looked at her with sunken eyes.
Jiang Yeqian stared at her in silence.
Lu Yan looked at her calmly and thought to himself that she was the only person who could outdo Li Ruoxuan.
Li Ruoxuan’s face darkened. He said, “I don’t have to beg you. I can just make an educated guess.”
Qi Qingyao responded nonchalantly, “Then please think for yourself and come up with a reason as to why he hasn’t left yet.”
Li Ruoxuan, “...”
Just at the right moment, Jiang Yeqian interjected, “Perhaps he’s still scheming about Erniu?”
Qi Qingyao suddenly thought of something, then turned to look at Jiang Yeqian excitedly. “Do you want to buy this information?”
Jiang Yeqian, “...” ‘What is this? A business?’
Qi Qingyao became even more excited. “I heard that the Zhaixing Administration is a private intelligence agency that specializes in selling information. If so, then I too can sell information. The issue is that I’m not sure how much the former Head Grand Secretariat would be willing to pay for this information. In other words, how much do you think knowing Gongsun She’s objective is worth?”
If she had no other choice than to tell someone, she would prefer it to be to Jiang Yeqian. After all, Gongsun She’s objective might be to come after him. It would be best if he was given a bit of a heads up!~
If she could make some money from selling the information, then that would be even better.
It would be killing two birds with one stone.
Jiang Yeqian was silent for a moment. “Let’s talk in private.”
Zhao Xin, who was standing near the side of the hall, heard this conversation. He could not help but frown as he thought about how his Excellency, despite being the dignified Head of the Zhaixing Administration, now had to buy information from elsewhere too! This was such a disappointment! If word got out, people would think that the Zhaixing Administration was utterly useless…
Jiang Yeqian walked up the stairs using his crutches.
Qi Qingyao followed closely behind.
Upon entering the room, Qi Qingyao took control by threatening him. “If you pay me for less than it’s worth, I might sell this information to the State Preceptor later…”
Jiang Yeqian shut the door before turning around and responding, “I would like to purchase this information at a high price! Just for myself!”
“You want to monopolize the informatio)? That depends on the sincerity of the former Head Grand Secretariat.” Qi Qingyao was very pleased with his attitude.
She liked the other party’s monopolizing attitude, with the premise of buying out the information at a high price!
Jiang Yeqian was afraid they would be overheard, so he went behind the desk, picked up a brush, and wrote a number down on the fine writing paper.
Ten thousand?
Qi Qingyao thought about the losses she had incurred before, and said straightforwardly, “Of what unit?” Silver, or gold?
Jiang Yeqian pursed his lips and asked helplessly, “What would you like it to be?”
“It depends on your sincerity.” Qi Qingyao blinked, then answered with deep eyes.
Jiang Yeqian wrote a word on the paper. ‘Gold’.
“Deal.”
Qi Qingyao reached out her hand to give him a high-five.
Jiang Yeqian reciprocated blankly, high-fiving her as a symbol of alliance.
After the high-five, Jiang Yeqian looked at the excited woman with an inexplicable expression…
Qi Qingyao was about to open her mouth to speak, but Jiang Yeqian quickly reached out and covered her mouth.
Qi Qingyao, whose mouth was now covered, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him curiously.
Jiang Yeqian, upon realizing what he was doing, withdrew his hand nervously. He let out a cough and gestured to the fine writing paper on the desk.
Then, he handed her the brush.
Qi Qingyao, “...”
What a cautious guy.
Qi Qingyao chose the smallest brush and began to write down Gongsun She’s objective on the fine writing paper.
[He mentioned that?an eighth grand master has appeared.]
It was just a single sentence.
Before she could write down the rest, Jiang Yeqian snatched away the piece of paper away and looked at the information written on it with a very ugly expression.
“–!!!”
After a pause, he stared at her with a suspicious gaze. “Are you sure?”
