Chapter 25 Baiyi
Wen Kexing ay -hanged Ghost, so when the former left, he immediately followed But his steps halted, as the o had vanished without a trace Wen Kexing scanned through the big crowd
Zhou Zishu was like a drop of water in a big ocean; the ht of him, his existence would be i felt a sense of bewilderain in concentration, unable to accept defeat; but the other man had really just up and disappeared in front of him like that
In his heart blosso that was so slipped away frorasp, and for soer
Even if Wen Kexing successfully cracked the hts, that man could just disappear anytied to escape the labyrinth that was Tian Chuang's — was theWen Kexing behind, Zhou Zishu visited a counting house
In the Dong Ting area, or perhaps the entirety of Jiangnan, there was a fa An House” It was a fairly successful business but never draw too ions It see ambitions and was contented to operate in this prosperous land
After looking up at the house's signboard, Zhou Zishu went inside A voice rang out, ”Welcoe banknotes or…”
Zhou Zishu went past the assistant to reach the shopkeeper himself He spoke softly with a faint s for a favor, could you contact your supervisor forhis head to exaood while, he spoke cautiously ”And you are?”
Zhou Zishu lowered his voice even further ”I'm an old acquaintance of your ”Lord Seventh”, last naed i ”Lord Seventh” from hiuided him to sit down himself He stood beside hi the assistant to serve hi i right now… Is it alright for you to wait for a few days?”
Zhou Zishu nodded ”No need to hurry, and you should sit down too”
He asked the shopkeeper in a very gracious way, but thehis hands as denial He asked, ”Sir Zhou, about your business with my superior, do you want to speak to hi for you beforehand?”
After so else that I can think of, but have you ever heard about a thing called the Lapis Armor?”
That took theabout the Lapis Armor that is made of the five broken pieces of lapis lazuli?”
Zhou Zishu nodded ”Yes”
The shopkeeper fell into deep thought After a while, hetook out a piece of paper and wrote ”Lapis Are of it will not be sufficient I hope you don'tfor another few days, as I think I do have so up more information”
Zhou Zishu exa from thirty to forty, clever face, spoke slowly and carefully with definite consideration in each word; that fox clearly taught his folks well Once he had no idea how much power and influence his old friend had after he left the capital, but after seeing this, he was certain it would nothouses
A cup of tea later, he left Who could have ever thought that the for now had to rely on others for intel, or to ask for that person's help just to protect the life of that Zhang Chengling brat — though, it was also worth noting that Zhou Zishu had no idea why he was helping hiers How did the kid's life concern him anyway?
A fool's errand, that hat
But throughout a person's life there was bound to be incidents like this, where you couldn't help but insert yourself in other people's business Is this ultiht How else could he have conan?
He walked leisurely along theelse for hi feasted his eyes on the scenic view of Dong Ting with satisfaction and when the sun was starting to go down He ordered a pot of wine and soood to hiood day like this in his entire life – before today he was eitheron how tolady playing a zither nearby; the beauty complimented theended, and Zhou Zishu—enjoying both beauty and song very irl was initially duratitude in a soft voice That lifted Zhou Zishu's mood incredibly
All of a sudden, there was so in the seat opposite him They said matter-of-factly, ”I'm here so that you can treat me wine”
Zhou Zishu tensed up—his debt collector was finally here
Ye Baiyi was not at all gracious about this To hiar indulgence like food and wine, so it was natural for the other person to greet hi hoards after hoards of food hi you like, don't be reserved”
