The Jianghu is a place where even a bun can lead to a murder.
"Excuse me, young master, what kind of commission do you wish to post? Our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's reputation is not just for show; as long as you can pay the price, we will sell you any information you seek."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xuan Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Indeed, they came to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion first because they were looking for someone. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has not been around for long in the Jianghu; it was formerly known as the Beggar's Guild. However, with the prosperity of the Heavenly Xuan Empire, begging has become quite rare. Therefore, the elders of the Beggar's Guild gathered their members and established the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Due to its origins as the Beggar's Guild, they possess a wealth of hidden information.
"I have heard that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion knows everything. May I ask if you can resolve my confusion?" Mel squeezed to the front and stared wide-eyed at the Moustached Old Man.
"I don't know what troubles this young master, but as long as you can pay the price, we will certainly ease your worries," the Moustached Old Man smiled confidently.
"Is that so? Then let me say this." Mel rolled his eyes upward and then furrowed his brows deeply, "There are rumors in the Jianghu that Young Master Mu Mu Jinzhi is still unmarried and suspected of having a close relationship with the current Sovereign. Is there any truth to this matter?"
Hibiscus and Xuan Li simultaneously looked at Mel, who innocently frowned.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so flirtatious," implying that he looked respectable but was quite gossipy. "This kind of news isn't worth much, but it varies from person to person. For figures like the Sovereign and Young Master Mu, how could we dare to speak lightly? Hehe, if you are truly curious, please show some sincerity."
Jinse and Fengyin also looked on with anticipation, while Spiritual Incense pouted; it was foolish for Mei Er to spend money on something they already knew.
Hibiscus and Xuan Li coughed to cover their embarrassment. Were they all catching colds? Why did they cough at the same time? A healer's heart is always concerned; only Fengyin would think of such things at this moment.
"Old Man, I know the truth; I just want to see if what you have here is as miraculous as the rumors say," Mel pouted, feeling disdain from Spiritual Incense again. He took out a hundred-tael silver note. "We are here to buy information and hear some anecdotes."
The Mustached Old Man smiled broadly. "To be honest, young sir, the tales about Sovereign and Young Master Mu are indeed exaggerated. However, the truth that Young Master Mu is yet to marry is not known to outsiders, and the fact that Sovereign has not established a consort is not something to be shared lightly. Seeing that you have a friendly face," the Old Man chuckled, thinking he would give him a hint. "Let me tell you, this Sovereign has yet to establish a consort because of an Oedipus complex. Our Emperor has been attached to his mother since childhood, and it is rumored that the Former Virtuous Empress was not the biological mother of this Sovereign; there are twists in this story."
"Business comes first," Xuan Li smiled, planning to interrupt Moustache. That smile seemed rather unsettling. Moustache shivered and cleared his throat. "What information do you gentlemen wish to inquire about? Please leave some clues; the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will surely share everything they know."
"We want to inquire about two people: one is the Seven Night Demon Lord, and the other..." Fengyin touched her nose and whispered to Jinse, "What characteristics does your father have?"
Jinse blinked in confusion and happened to catch Xuan Li looking at her. She smiled awkwardly. "I don't remember much; he wears black clothes and is quite handsome—does that count as a characteristic?"
Jinse thought, after all these years, even if her father was handsome, he was still an old handsome man now.
"You’re so impressive! Do you know who my Sister Jinse's father is?" Spiritual Incense glared at Moustache. He had just mentioned her royal brother and Mother Empress's gossip, and she was currently holding a grudge against him. Once this matter was settled, she would make him pay.
Moustache's face turned red. "That’s quite difficult."
"Then do you know if anyone in the martial world has connections with the head of the Song Family?" Jinse asked, her face flushed as she was also here to help her mother find a husband.
"The head of the Song Family?" Moustache's expression became serious. "I understand what you gentlemen are asking for. Please allow me to report this matter above. May I ask where you are staying? Tomorrow at dawn, I will have someone deliver the information to you."
"Alright then; your mustache really gets in the way," Spiritual Incense pouted and playfully tugged at Moustache's mustache, laughing happily.
Moustache wasn't angry; he nodded obediently. Xuan Li nodded in approval, realizing that Spiritual Incense had been spoiled by him all along.
"Old Man, I truly apologize," Mel said lightly.
"We will wait for news at Mountain Pavilion," Hibiscus said, then took Fengyin and walked out the door. "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Fengyin smiled gently, "A lot."
