Chapter 309.2: Flowing Clouds Palace (1/2)

After Tang Doudou gave these instructions, she walked towards the shopkeeper and the waiter of the inn, then tossed them her embroidered pouch. “Take this as compensation for the damages done to the inn. If it isn’t enough, you can head to the Alliance Head Residence to request for more.”

She originally wanted to pull out a token or something, but then recalled that she had lost the Alliance Head Command Tablet and she didn’t have anything else on her that could prove her identity.

Jun Xin jumped over the railing and took out a tablet from his chest. “Go ask Plum Garden instead!”

Both the Alliance Head Residence and Plum Garden weren’t places that ordinary people like them dared to go!

These two sirs were truly making big jokes.

Moreover, the inn wasn’t that damaged anyways. The shopkeeper had done business for many years. When he caught the pouch, he could tell by its weight that it contained enough to compensate for all his losses and extra, so how could he dare to ask for more? He even felt the urge to return this pouch to that Alliance Head.

If it weren’t for her, not only would his business have collapsed, he may have even ended up dead!”

“Alliance Head, I cannot accept!” After these thoughts flashed through his mind, the shopkeeper moved to shove the pouch back into Tang Doudou’s hands.

Jun Xin glanced over coldly and blocked him. “Since she gave it to you, keep it.”

The shopkeeper wasn’t someone of the Jianghu and didn’t know of Blood Fiend Jun Xin’s reputation, but he had seen the way those black-clothed men fled for their lives after hearing the words ‘Blood Fiend Jun Xin.’ Thus, he already knew that Jun Xin was very strong, so when Jun Xin looked at him with that cold gaze, his hand shook and he compliantly put the pouch away before looking towards Tang Doudou nervously.

Tang Doudou smiled slightly. “Jun Xin’s right, shopkeeper, please keep it. After that, please find someone to clean up the inn. You all must be tired after all this, so you should go rest.”

After she finished speaking, she walked over to discuss things more with Syndicate Leader He. It was best to tie these people up for now and then transport them to the Alliance Head Residence tomorrow morning.

However, when she walked over, it was right in time for her to hear Syndicate Leader He cried out ‘oh no.’

“What happened?”

“They commited suicide with poison!” Syndicate Leader He’s face was pale as he inspected the black-robed people in the main hall.

Tang Doudou knitted her brows as she rubbed her chin. It seemed that Flowing Clouds Palace really was not a simple organization.

Jun Xin walked over and said quietly, “You should have predicted and guarded against this. Since these people had covered their faces, they were definitely trying to hide their identities. They probably kept a poison capsule in their mouths so that they could commit suicide immediately if they were discovered or caught.”

A trace of vexation and regret passed through Tang Doudou’s eyes. She had been neglectant.

Jun Xin patted her shoulder and said in consolement, “Don’t worry, it’s your first time, so it’s hard to avoid mistakes. Since you know that this is done by Flowing Clouds Palace, you already have a place to start investigating.”

“En.” At this point, that was all that she could do. However, her goal in coming to Dream Mountain this time wasn’t to investigate Flowing Clouds Palace.

She had Syndicate Leader He move the corpses to an empty space outside the inn and burn them.
