Chapter 474 Qian Ruxin
When he saw Luo Lingfeng and his wife in trouble, Pei Yun changed his mind instantly. He did not look for an inn immediately, but came to the center of Bixia Island, the most prosperous and lively place on the island. Sure enough, there was Baolin Pavilion here.
She put on the mask that Master Zhenhua had made for her and came to the top floor of Baolin Pavilion...
A steward of Baolin Pavilion received Pei Yun and took her to a tea room with an isolation array. He asked, "I wonder what news you want to find out, young lady?"
"Qian Family Gang, I want to know the situation and strength of this force on Bixia Island." Pei Yun said straight to the point.
"Ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones." The manager made an offer.
"can."
"...The Qian Family Gang is a second-rate force on Bixia Island. Several decades ago, after the death of the old leader Qian, the Qian Family Gang suddenly fell to the third-rate. But not long after that, the old leader Qian's eldest daughter Qian Ruyi was favored by the leader of the Xianxia Sect and became the concubine of this leader Xu. Since then, the Qian Family Gang has relied on the Xianxia Sect to rise again. Not long ago, the Qian Family Gang relied on the power of the Xianxia Sect and the helpers sent by Qian Ruyi to destroy his mortal enemy, the Fierce Tiger Alliance..."
The manager slowly narrated, "The person with the highest cultivation level in the Qian Family Gang is the current gang leader Qian Yue, who is in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. He is the only son of the old gang leader Qian. In addition, the old gang leader Qian has two daughters. The eldest daughter is Qian Ruyi, and the youngest daughter is Qian Ruxin. Among the senior leaders of the Qian Family Gang, there are three Spiritualization Realm cultivators and eleven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. There are several thousand people in the gang..."
Pei Yun asked, "Is the Xianxia Sect the top force in the entire Bixia Island?" As she spoke, she took out a storage bag and placed it in front of the manager.
The steward put the storage bag into his sleeve with satisfaction and continued, "Xianxia Sect and Bishui Sect are the two most powerful forces in the entire Bixia Island or all the nearby islands. Even my Baolin Pavilion dare not offend these two sects here. These two sects are equally powerful and have been fighting each other openly and secretly for many years. Although the strength of the top leaders cannot compare with the top sects in Dongcangzhou, they are not much inferior to the top forces in the other three continents..."
Pei Yun nodded, and did not ask about the Qian Family Gang's news anymore. He suddenly changed the subject: "I also want to find out about the Jidao Patriarch."
The steward looked at her in surprise, with a few gleams of light in his eyes. Pei Yun immediately guessed something and asked, "Did someone ask you about the Jidao Patriarch not long ago?"
If Pei Yun guessed correctly, the old couple also came to Bixia Island. This was the reason why Pei Yun did not directly take action to rescue Luo Lingfeng and his wife. Once she took action, things would become a big deal and the old couple would notice her presence.
The steward paused and did not answer Pei Yun's words, but continued to offer: "The information of the Jidao Patriarch requires 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Baolin Pavilion strictly prohibits the disclosure of matters involving other guests."
Pei Yun took out another storage bag and placed it on the tea table without saying a word. She did not ask about the old couple, as the manager's attitude and expression told her everything.
"...Old Ancestor Jidao was a casual cultivator from overseas. There were rumors that he was a cultivator from Bixia Island. Old Ancestor Jidao ascended to the upper realm three hundred years ago. In just over five hundred years, he cultivated to the Mahayana stage and ascended smoothly. Even the brilliant and talented disciples of Dongcangzhou could not match his ascension speed. However, Old Ancestor Jidao has always been a loner. I have never heard that he has relatives or friends. He has never joined any organization. The Dao Temple has invited Old Ancestor Jidao to join several times, but he refused. He has never participated in the fight between the Dao Sect and the Demon Clan..."
Pei Yun half-truthfully probed, "...I came here from Dongcangzhou because of his reputation. Not long ago, I heard at a trade fair that the Jidao Patriarch seemed to have hidden treasures near Bixia Island, so I came here to see the treasures based on this news. I wonder if there is any inside information?"
Hearing this, the steward smiled disapprovingly: "The news of the Jidao Patriarch's treasure hiding place did attract many people in the early years, but no one found the treasure, and no one believed the rumor anymore..."
Pei Yun realized that he had almost found out everything he wanted, so he asked the manager to buy a detailed map of the nearby islands. Finally, he said, "...Is there any merchant ship from Baolin Pavilion heading to Dongcangzhou recently? It would be best if it's at night."
The steward glanced at Pei Yun meaningfully and said, "Two days later, at midnight, a merchant ship will be carrying goods to Dongcangzhou, but no passengers."
"Two places, one place for one million high-quality spirit stones."
Pei Yun said directly, "If they can get on the ship safely and leave here, I will give you an extra one million high-quality spirit stones. How about that?"
The manager clenched his fists and agreed without hesitation, saying with a smile, "Okay, but... if there is a force that Baolin Pavilion cannot stop and asks us for people before sailing..."
"I won't embarrass you."
"Two days later at midnight, the merchant ship will sail to Dongcangzhou. The young lady will bring people to wait at the dock in advance."
"Thank you." Pei Yun paid a deposit of one million high-quality spirit stones in advance.
After leaving Baolin Pavilion, Pei Yun found an inn nearby to stay temporarily. That night, Pei Yun sneaked into the house of the leader of the Qian Family Gang alone...
In the backyard, a woman who looked weak and gentle led her maid to the prison cell at the westernmost end of the house...
On the way, the woman asked, "Brother, after you caught the two men, did you torture them?"
The maid, holding a food box in her hand, replied, "I didn't hear that they used torture, but I heard from the guards in the front yard that the gang leader sealed the spiritual power of the two men. This time they can't escape again!"
"Let's go, let's go see Master Luo."
"Second Miss, please don't do stupid things again. Although Young Master Luo saved you once in the Fierce Tiger Alliance, you also took a risk by letting them go. It was their own fault that they were caught by the leader. Please don't be impulsive again..."
The maid followed Qian Ruxin and whispered, "...The gang leader is determined to get Mr. Luo's wife. There is no way the two of them can escape this disaster..."
"Okay, stop talking..." Qian Ruxin pursed her lips and interrupted the maid.
Pei Yun, who was hiding in the rockery, heard everything clearly. She was moved and followed the master and servant...
Soon, Pei Yun followed Qian Ruxin and the others to the cell and met the imprisoned Luo Lingfeng and his wife.
"Master Luo, Miss Su, are you all right?" Qian Ruxin looked at the two of them with a worried look on her face, and ordered the maid to put the food box in front of them. "You two have your spiritual powers sealed now, so why not eat something to replenish your energy."
"Thank you, Miss Qian." Luo Lingfeng gave a wry smile. Although he looked a little disheveled, his calm and elegant temperament made Qian Ruxin's heart moved. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Lingfeng, revealing a bit of admiration that she wanted to express but couldn't.
Su Lian, who was also a woman, of course saw Qian Ruxin's admiration for her husband. However, Qian Ruxin had just helped the two of them escape from here not long ago and had no ill will towards them, so she just watched calmly. After all, she still trusted her husband.
"You two, I will find another opportunity to help you leave here. Now your spiritual powers are sealed, and you can't escape far even if you leave this cell. Wait for me to find a way to unlock your seals, and then I will discuss leaving with you..." Qian Ruxin whispered to the two of them.
"Miss Qian has helped us once, and my husband and I are very grateful." Luo Lingfeng showed gratitude, "I wonder if you can help my husband and I pass the message to the Luo family in Yongning City, Beiqizhou?"
"Of course no problem, I can help you pass the information through Baolin Pavilion."
"Thank you Miss Qian."
"Mr. Luo, you are too polite. You saved my life that day, and I have no way to repay you. Besides, this matter was caused by my brother being too arrogant..." Qian Ruxin smiled faintly as she looked at Luo Lingfeng in front of her.
