The cleaning servant wore faded coarse cloth clothing and a gray lon-skin cap on his head.
He was only in his twenties. After casually closing the door, his round eyes observed Li Musheng and the other for a while.
Then, he held up six fingers and asked in a low voice, "Are you the people from there?"
Cang Yinyue didn't answer, only tapped on the table with her hand.
Seeing this, the other person imdiately seed to relax completely. He then sat down at the table quite casually and grinned, "You ca pretty quickly. I thought Six Doors had no one to deal with this matter now."
As he spoke, he stuffed several pieces of sweet treats into his mouth.
Cang Yinyue looked him over and asked, "You sent out information saying there are Great Qi remnants appearing here. Is this true?"
Hearing this, the young man dressed as a servant waved his hand and said, "That information is already outdated. This place doesn't just have Great Qi remnants appearing, it's fundantally a den of Great Qi remnants."
Speaking thus, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said quietly, "Starting from last night, a group of martial world people calling themselves Qingshan Tower secretly ca here. I overheard clearly that these people will have major actions today."
Cang Yinyue and Li Musheng exchanged glances, then asked, "What major actions?"
The young man spread his hands, "That I don't know."
At this mont, he swept his gaze around the room and asked in a low voice, "How many people did you bring this ti? Among this group of Great Qi remnants are quite a few formidable martial Dao experts. If too few people co, you won't be able to take them down."
Cang Yinyue slowly shook her head, "Besides us, there's no one else."
Hearing this, the young man imdiately frowned and said with a curled lip, "Then after you finish drinking tea, you should leave as quickly as possible. It's best to go back and have a Six Doors Divine Constable personally co. Only then might it be possible to deal with this group of Great Qi remnants."
However, Cang Yinyue glanced at him and said impassively, "Do you think Six Doors has extra people to co here now?"
Hearing this, the young man scratched his head, seeming to rember sothing as he said, "That's true too. Right now the entire city is searching for the murderer who killed the imperial consort. They probably don't have any ti to spare."
Speaking thus, he grabbed a few more pastries from the porcelain plate and stuffed them in his mouth. His gaze swept over Li Musheng, who had been quietly drinking tea the whole ti. He reached up to touch his own face and said sourly, "Tsk tsk, Six Doors actually has soone more handso than ? I've never seen him before."
Hearing this, Li Musheng finally looked directly at him.
It must be said, this kid had a really good eye for people!
At this mont, the young man stood up from the stool and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I won't chat with you anymore. If I stay too long, it's easy to be discovered. When you Six Doors bring enough manpower, it won't be too late to co exterminate this group of Great Qi remnants."
Having said this, he wiped the long cloth draped over his shoulder and turned to leave.
But just at this mont, the room door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from outside.
After the door swung wide open, a middle-aged man wearing a blue silk brocade robe along with several shop assistants and servants stood neatly in the corridor outside the door, all gazing coldly into the room.
The middle-aged man's round face with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed an expression that was neither quite a smile nor not, as he asked the young man their eyes t, "Ah Bin, what are you doing staying in the guests' room?"
Hearing this, the young man Ah Bin quickly changed his expression, hurriedly putting on a fawning smile as he said, "Shopkeeper, just now this young lady accidentally knocked over a stool. I happened to be passing by and saw it, so I kindly ca in to help pick it up."
"Is that so?"
The teahouse shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "I thought there was a traitor in the building, soone preparing to betray us from within and conspire against us from the inside and outside."
Speaking thus, he beckoned to Ah Bin across the doorway, "Since the stool has been picked up, don't stay in the room. Co out quickly and don't disturb the guests' refined interest in drinking tea."
Hearing this, Ah Bin stood in place maintaining a smile on his face. However, his hand was secretly behind his back, and with a quiet palm wind, he sent the stool behind him crashing to the floor with a "bang."
"Oh my goodness, young lady, what's wrong with you? How did you carelessly knock over the stool again?"
After the sound of the stool falling to the floor rang out, he imdiately exclaid with a shocked expression, directly ignoring the shopkeeper's beckoning and hurriedly turned to pick up the stool on the floor.
At this mont, with his back to the shopkeeper and the others, his face kept winking desperately at Cang Yinyue, trying frantically to signal her with his eyes.
However, Cang Yinyue acted as if she hadn't seen anything at all, only quietly glancing at Li Musheng beside her, whose expression remained composed.
Seeing that Cang Yinyue ignored him and remained indifferent to his warning, Ah Bin could only look left and right for a while.
Then, his entire body suddenly leaped up like an agile rabbit, imdiately jumping without hesitation toward the open window on one side of the room.
However, just as he leaped into mid-air, a figure suddenly flew to the originally open window, lightly crouching on the windowsill.
In their hands were two daggers gleaming with cold light, their entire body emanating an undisguised astonishing killing intent.
Seeing this, Ah Bin's expression imdiately changed. He hurriedly circulated his True Qi to stop his figure in mid-air, quite awkwardly reversing direction sharply downward and landing back on the ground.
"I've long thought sothing was off about you. Now that things have co to a head, you still want to run? Where could you run to?"
The shopkeeper sneered, then clapped his hands.
The next mont, another figure brimming with killing intent flipped in through another window in the room, entering the room and casually closing the window behind them.
At the sa ti, the assistants who had originally been standing in the corridor imdiately surged forward, drawing the sharp knives hidden behind them and surrounding Cang Yinyue and the other two in the room.
At this mont, Ah Bin wore a bitter expression. He turned back to look at Cang Yinyue and Li Musheng and said in a low voice, "If I said this matter has nothing to do with , you should be able to believe , right?"
Cang Yinyue looked toward the shopkeeper whose True Qi surged around him, emanating the aura of a Martial Dao Grand Master, and narrowed her eyes slightly, saying, "If it were soone else from Six Doors who ca, they might really have been screwed over by you, an agent whose identity has been exposed."
Hearing this, Ah Bin seed to figure sothing out and showed a delighted expression, "Could it be you have an expert hidden behind you?"
Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Ah Bin once more.
It must be said, this kid not only had good judgnt about people, his guesses were pretty accurate too.
At the sa ti, the shopkeeper outside the door snorted coldly and slowly stepped into the room, casually slamming the door heavily behind him, saying, "Still putting on an act when death is at your doorstep. Since you know the secrets of our Qingshan Tower, not one of you will be able to leave this room today."
Seeing this, Ah Bin glanced at Li Musheng and Cang Yinyue, but saw the two still sitting at the table without moving. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
At so unknown ti, two butterfly-shaped silver small swords had silently slid from his sleeves into his palms.
