Chapter 57: Windstorm Mansion is poor, isn’t it?
Windstorm House was not difficult to find.
As a stronghold of the Traceless Dao in the open, Windstorm Mansion was even more public than the Star Moon Sect’s greenhouses. The Star and Moon Sect’s youth houses are basically operated in the dark, and most outsiders don’t know who’s behind them, and the names of the youth houses are also different. On the other hand, Windstorm Mansion is a “chain store”, there are Windstorm Mansions everywhere, because their business is openly received, anyone can come to Windstorm Mansion to discuss business, everyone knows what this place is for.
Even in many cases, people directly refer to the Traceless Road as the Windstorm Building, because the Windstorm Building is much more famous than the Traceless Road…….
So Xue Mu just pulled a passerby and casually asked, and he knew the location of Windstorm Building.
Walking towards the Windstorm Building, Xue Mu’s mood was still calm, he wasn’t lying, he could almost confirm that there was no danger at all in going to the Windstorm Building. Anyone in a high position has a lot on their mind, the more this kind of person thinks a lot, the less likely they are to act rashly when he delivers it to their door.
In fact, Windstorm House was not far away, just one street away from Hundred Flowers Garden. This area had one thing in common, they were all Qin Lou Chu Guan, restaurants, casinos, all kinds of playgrounds, and also a reflection of urban planning, symbolizing a certain degree of civilization.
In other words, Windstorm House is also a place of play ……
Xue Mu looked up at the signboard, as well as the large teapot hanging wobbly next to the plaque, and was dumbfounded.
This is actually a teahouse ……
This early in the morning, the green house was closed for business, while the teahouse was the opposite, with quite a few people drinking tea with nothing to do. The first floor is a very large lobby, set up dozens of tables, three or two people drinking large pots of tea, eating refreshments, the sky and the north and south of the blind Kan, there are also some tables set up a chess set, playing Xue Mu has not seen the chess.
The overall atmosphere is quite a bit of Xue Mu’s memory of the teahouse flavor, but business is not good, less than one-fifth of the attendance, I do not know if it is because of the morning, or the Windstorm Building’s operation is just like this.
According to this look, this is one of the Windstorm Mansion’s intelligence sources, right? There was a certain overlap with the form of obtaining information from the Green House, but there was also a difference, theirs was more civilian. In addition, Windstorm House had a more crude source of information – they used their gong methods to facilitate their daily lurking and spying, which could make up for many of the blind spots in the Star Moon Sect’s collection model.
Seeing Xue Mu enter and look around, a fellow greeted him, “Guest drinking tea? Or buying tea?”
This is the Windstorm House cutout, it’s very simple, drinking tea is drinking tea, buying tea is buying murder or buying intelligence to come.
Xue Mu smiled, “I’m looking for someone.”
The fellow saw his extraordinary temperament, his heart bottomed out a bit, and whispered, “May I ask what I’m looking for ……”
Xue Mu said indifferently, “Star Moon Sect’s Xue Mu, seeking an audience with Windstorm Tower Master.”
The fellow changed color in horror.
As Xue Mu expected, he was treated with super high specifications.
The Tea House Boss personally nodded his head and led him up to the highest pavilion, where the best tea was served in the only elegant seat on the top floor. From the shopkeeper to the fellows, the look was all respect.
There was respect for the identity that Xue Mu represented, and there was also respect for his audacity to venture into the Dragon Pool alone. Everyone in Windstorm Building knew that the Patriarch had just assassinated Xue Mu in the morning and returned wounded, and this Xue Mu actually dared to enter at this time. And no matter what credentials he had, just this boldness made people respect him.
The world’s culture of honoring heroes can be seen.
Xue Mu sat alone at the table, leisurely sipping tea. The tea was the same type as the one he drank at Xue Qingqiu’s place, better than the one at Xiahou Di’s place, showing that the Windstorm House was quite rich, at least not worse than the Star Moon Sect.
He knew that someone was spying on him, but he didn’t care.
After a few moments, on the empty chair in front of him, the air suddenly twisted strangely, and slowly the distortion became more and more solid, forming a humanoid frame, and then slowly it really turned into a person.
A long popular face, does not look the slightest bit special people, it is estimated that the pile of people can not be found out of the kind. However, his gaze was shadowy and sharp, containing hidden divine light, stabbing at the person’s face like a sharp needle carving into the bone, revealing a transcendent cultivation.
“General Manager Xue really has good guts.” Volkswagen Face was very serious as he picked up his teacup and clinked it with Xue Mu with tea instead of wine: “This seat honors you.”
Xue Mu sipped his tea and smiled, “Shadow Wing Patriarch?”
“Exactly this seat.” Shadow Wing said faintly, “Patriarch Xue is one of the few people in the world who have seen the true face of this seat, and it is also this seat’s tribute to the hero.”
The last moment was still assassinating, this moment was sitting and chatting, the world with the flavor of martial arts was so interesting, and also a kind of excitement and elegance that was hard to find in modern times.
“General Manager Xue came here, what is his instruction?”
Xue Mu laughed: “Last night, someone from your clan took it upon himself to assassinate me, but fortunately, the Patriarch was mindful of the love of fellow travelers and killed the unauthorized person who destroyed the friendship between your family and mine. The party has already cleared the suspicion, right?”
Shadow Wing’s eyes revealed a smile, “Right.”
“Windstorm Tower opens its doors to do business, since it can take business from others, of course it won’t refuse business from fellow travelers, right?”
Shadow Wing’s gaze flickered, “Last night’s matter was a matter of the door’s own accord, and this seat doesn’t know who he was talking business with.”
Apparently he thought that Xue Mu had come to ask about the mastermind, or even wanted to kill a wave back, so he quickly pushed it away. Just kidding, killers also have principles, okay, it’s impossible to casually divulge information about the employer, much less be bribed to counter-kill the employer, what’s left of their credibility?
Xue Mu waved his hand: ”Patriarch has misunderstood. In fact, I don’t care about who wants to kill me at all, but I’m curious about how much I’m worth at most. I wonder if Sovereign can satisfy this little curiosity of mine?”
This price was not a secret, assassins often had explicit prices for all grades of business, so Shadow Wing went along with Xue Mu’s wishes and replied, “As far as this seat knows, the other party offered a thousand taels of gold.”
“Grass ……,” Xue Mu sprayed a mouthful of tea, “Laozi is worth this much?”
Shadow Wing looked at him expressionlessly without saying anything. A thousand taels of gold is already the biggest single business that Windstorm House has received over the years ……You a Qihai rookie, it would not have been worth even a hundred taels of silver. Because of always following Xue Qingqiu next to him, the difficulty instantly turned into hell level, only to have the price of gold thousand taels, and you still don’t know how to be nice anymore?
Xue Mu smacked his lips and looked at Shadow Wing with a very sympathetic gaze, as if he was looking at a beggar: “Windstorm House is very poor, isn’t it ……”
This time it was Shadow Wing’s turn to want to spray tea. God damn generation of Shadow King being despised as poor!
Poor? Do you know how much money the assassin business makes?
Then again, although not poor, not rich either. They are not an organization of assassins, but a clan. All of their assassins are trained from a young age, and it’s not easy to say that a clan spends a lot of money on cultivating talent. And most of the proceeds of murder should be distributed to the person who made the shot, this is the purpose of their Traceless Road, the actual clan draw is not much.
However, their profit model is not only to be an assassin, assassin business after all, it is rare to open once, there must also be non-main business. For example, selling expired intelligence to the wrongdoer, this business is really earning, and some of the firsthand intelligence itself can create value. To put it bluntly, Xingyue Zong Huanhuan Zong is not also eat this bowl of rice it, do you really think that just rely on the greenhouse selling smile can maintain the resource needs of such a large clan ah …… because of this, the wind and waves building always want to monopolize the intelligence, has been looking at the Xingyue Zong Huanhuan Zong is not very good eyes.
The world is bustling, all for the sake of profit.
Xue Mu seemingly randomly said, “Even if it is the door under the self-assertion bar …… for the area of gold thousand taels almost led to the two sects blood flow into the river of deadly battle, is not your sect door has been poor crazy?”
This is indeed no wash, either poor crazy or stupid cry, shadow wing two do not want to admit, or penetrate the bottom: “In fact, no one knows Xue chief in your clan such a position. Early to know then, not to say take not this business, even if to take, one to more than this price, two to …… will not let the door out to hit the grass snake.”
Indeed, in taking over the business when the shadow wing does not know Xue Mu in the Star Moon Sect in the end is a what position, after all, according to the reasoning of the Star Moon Sect will not let the male in power, the general male killed on the kill, he is no trace of the Road and the Star Moon Sect is also disagreement for thousands of years, only not afraid of this point of offense.
Until he personally assassinated and saw the Phaeton Divine Stone, and was sniped by Curry Night, he had a great realization in his heart. This Xue Mu holding the certificate of the patriarch, the status is clearly ridiculously high, the so-called general manager that is the actual power of the general manager, succeeding the patriarch are qualified, not a joke!
Shadow wing regret, had known that Xue Mu status so heavy, how much money he did not take, if it really led to a full-scale war with the Star Moon Sect, the loss is not money can make up for! Unless …… he can directly kill Xue Qingqiu, then it is worth considering the consideration.
Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, his test was complete.
Shadow wing into the capital is definitely not deliberately to kill him, just before the greed of that thousand taels of gold, and misjudged the importance of him, so arbitrarily sent a subordinate to the door to take action, originally thought to be an add-on …… In other words, Shadow wing into the capital another important thing, worthy of him personally to take action of the important thing.
Thinking of this, Xue Mu made a gesture to go: “I thought that your clan would even fight for a thousand taels of gold, and must be more interested in ten thousand taels of gold. Now it seems that Xue Mou has misunderstood, your clan is not short of this money, then Xue Mou is too presumptuous to come here.”
Ten thousand taels? Shadow wing face muscles a twitch, quickly said: “Windstorm House is indeed quite poor, heh …… heh heh heh heh …… Xue governor if there is any good financial road, for the sake of fellow members of the road, you can bring to bring one or two. “
