Today Yu San received a reward of three taels of silver, so he was much more generous in his spending.
He first ordered two pounds of lotus white, then a plate of pig’s head meat, some deep-fried dry tofu, and finally a bowl of steaming lamb dumplings—an absolute delight.
The two didn’t waste any words and first dove into the meal, consuming a pound of wine along the way.
Afterward, Yu San opened up and started rambling about the happenings of the past few days.
Chen Xiao’Er listened while eating.
Many things he had already heard dozens of times, but still patiently listened quietly.
Because he knew Yu San’s temper—usually not very talkative, but once he had some wine, it was like he turned into another person and couldn’t stop talking.
Especially after accepting Zhao Ya’s invitation, Chen Xiao’Er paid extra attention, not only listening but sometimes deliberately guiding the conversation.
"Let me tell you, don’t spread this around!" Yu San said mysteriously while burping from the wine.
Chen Xiao’Er’s interest was piqued instantly, patting his chest and promising he wouldn’t gossip.
Only then did Yu San lower his voice and say, "I heard today from the two Vice Gang Leaders of the Four Seas Gang that they are searching for someone in Changping Square."
Chen Xiao’Er’s heart skipped a beat, but he managed to suppress his excitement and asked quietly for more details.
But Yu San hadn’t heard the specifics, only catching that one sentence.
After a bout of drinking, Yu San staggered back home.
Chen Xiao’Er, however, rushed off to the agreed inn with Zhao Ya.
Once there, Chen Xiao’Er found Zhao Ya was not in the inn.
But he wasn’t worried; according to their prior agreement, he went to Zhao Ya’s rented room and left a note in a hidden place.
After doing all this, Chen Xiao’Er left.
The next day, following his routine, Zhao Ya arrived early at the inn.
Although he had found nothing useful during this period, Zhao Ya remained undeterred.
Valuable intelligence isn’t easy to come by, at any time.
So when he found the note left by Chen Xiao’Er in the corner, his spirits lifted, and he immediately rushed to the location mentioned on the note.
Upon meeting, Zhao Ya didn’t waste any words and directly threw over a silver note.
"Speak, what’s going on exactly?"
Seeing the denomination of the silver note, Chen Xiao’Er couldn’t help but beam with joy and then recounted his drinking session with Yu San and the information he revealed to Zhao Ya.
After listening, Zhao Ya’s eyes flashed with light.
Secretly capturing someone in Changping Square—could the person they’re after be connected to Mo Qi he’s looking for?
"Very good, this intelligence is very useful to me. I hope you will develop more links like these and report any significant information to me promptly."
"Understood!"
Zhao Ya didn’t linger with Chen Xiao’Er and rushed to Changping Square.
If the person the Four Seas Gang is after really is Mo Qi, then he merely has to keep an eye on them; once they find him, he can take action accordingly.
In doing so, the vast influence of the Four Seas Gang essentially works for him, greatly boosting efficiency.
With this in mind, Zhao Ya concealed his identity and observed the movements of the Four Seas Gang.
This wasn’t difficult to investigate.
Because the Four Seas Gang wields immense power in Changping Square, especially this time with Sheng Lianhua personally leading, making them even more unconstrained in their actions.
Soon, the streets were filled with members of the Four Seas Gang; these people were local big shots, and it was incredibly easy for them to find someone.
Thus, an invisible net began to tighten gradually.
At this moment, Rao Mingyue was completely unaware of this.
He happily watched Mo Xu, who could now sit up, "Mr. Mo, your complexion has greatly improved compared to before."
"I owe it to you for bravely buying medicine for me," Mo Xu replied.
"Mr. Mo is a piano skill genius, truly a talented individual. If something were to happen to you, wouldn’t the world lose such beautiful piano music? So it is only right to save you; please don’t be so polite in the future," Rao Mingyue said earnestly.
Mo Xu was somewhat silent.
It’s worth noting that the people from Bright Moon Valley pursued him relentlessly, even after he fled to Great Yan, refusing to give up, all for the most crucial secret he carried.
The method for refining the Realm-Breaking Guide of the Fifth Realm.
But unexpectedly, this young man valued his piano skill above all else, which left Mo Xu somewhat surprised.
Rao Mingyue remained completely unaware.
"There are some medicines missing at home; it’s just as well that I have some free time today. I’ll go buy them now, and with a few more doses, Mr. Mo should be much better!"
