Chapter 1071 - 1070: The Vital News the Big Shot Wants to Investigate!

Young Master Hai gazed at Qin Xin, his playful smile gradually shrinking.

He glanced at the people behind Qin Xin: "With such a secret matter, Lan, it’s better for us to talk in private."

This provoked another round of angry glances among the four men.

However, in the next second, Qin Xin’s words turned their anger into pride: "No need. They’re all my people."

Young Master Hai raised his eyebrow in surprise.

Unable to deal with these four "servant bodyguards," he was slightly annoyed.

"If that’s the case, I’ll be forthright," he seated himself next to Qin Xin, speaking earnestly, "Lan, I investigated the person you mentioned. Outwardly, he’s a Red Robe Tutor at the Divine Academy, but in reality, he takes on smuggling jobs under the alias Red Snake. This time, he’s been tasked by the Twelve Elders with an urgent mission. That’s why you couldn’t find him at the Divine Academy; his files have been taken by the Twelve Elders and won’t be returned until the mission is completed."

In just a few words, the message was packed with information.

It turned out that the transaction between Young Master Hai and Qin Xin was to investigate intelligence.

The four men behind her all held their breath as they listened.

Except for Jing Zhichen, who knew Qin Xin was investigating the Red Robe Tutor, the other three were clueless: Why would she spend so much money investigating a man with such a complex background?

What are the Twelve Elders?

It sounds like they have a somewhat ominous connection to the world’s power center.

Jing Zhichen explained in a low voice: "The Twelve Elders are the governing body of the Empire, they only adhere to the rules."

Ao Xinghao frowned: "You guys always talk about the rules, what exactly are these rules?"

Jing Zhichen was taken aback.

Sometimes, he truly felt that Qin Xin and the three big guys were like outsiders; it’s one thing if they didn’t know about the Twelve Elders, but not knowing the rules?

The rules are the divine edict, the highest law of the Empire, both invisible and tangible; it’s the supreme will of the supernatural, anything that goes against the rules will be cursed, turned to ashes.

And the Twelve Elders are the enforcers, maintaining the rules.

After listening to Young Master Hai’s information, Qin Xin slightly frowned: "So, you still haven’t found his records? Don’t know what mission he’s taken on?"

Young Master Hai coughed under the questioning: "Well... let me look into it further, it takes time after all, since the Twelve Elders are impossible to infiltrate."

As he spoke, his gaze subtly swept over Jing Zhichen.

Jing Zhichen felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Xin immediately stood up, then retrieved all the checks and Spiritual Pearls from the table.

She said to the four men: "Let’s go."

Young Master Hai was a bit taken aback and laughed: "Lan, how heartless of you to walk away right after getting my information, without leaving me a cent. Is that really alright..."

The four men twitched their lips momentarily: "..."

This bastard, making them seem like a woman who seduces and abandons, how despicable!

Qin Xin sneered coldly, righteously: "Your information is too unreliable. You still haven’t figured out what Red Snake’s mission is, or who he’s connecting with. There are twelve elders in total, are you suggesting I go looking for each one? Is that how you gather intelligence, with such fragmented and vague pieces, it’s obviously worthless. I’ll pay only when you have clear information next time!"

Young Master Hai’s smile stiffened slightly.

As Qin Xin prepared to leave with her "servant bodyguards," he called out: "I also found out that his mission this time involves the Blood Woman!"

Blood Woman!
