Chapter 78：Questioning (2/2)
”Can you tell us where you got the pill from?” he asked
”Someone found me and asked me to sell the pill for them.”
Alex frowned a little. ”Ask who it is.” Ma Rong's voice came to his head.
”Who is it that asked you to do that?”
” I don't know. I only met the person today. They were wearing a black hood over his head, and said that if I sold the pill, I would get 10% of the contribution points from it.”
Alex fell into contemplation.
”Do you remember how the person looked like? How did they act? Maybe their gender or even the fact about if they are disciples or elders?”
The girl fell into thought. ”I can't tell if they were a disciple or elder, but they wore a really dark green robe underneath, so they must've either a core disciple or an elder. As for the gender, I think they are a male. They tried to hide it but my instinct said they were a male. Aside from that, I don't know.”
”I only met them about 6 hours ago so I don't know a lot about them. But, there was something weird about them. The person felt like a completely mortal person with no Qi. I can't tell if that is helpful, but that's all I have got.”
Alex nodded. ”Oh right. I am supposed to get the ingredients I bought with the remaining 90% of the contribution pill to them in the sect market tonight at midnight.” The girl suddenly shouted.
”I see.” Suddenly, a talisman fell from above. ”Tell her to carry this with her.” Ma Rong spoke to him.
”Keep this on your person when you go to the sect valley tonight, just in case.”
Alex left the outer sect mountain. For a while, the walk to the sect valley was really silent.
”This person is smart.” Ma Rong spoke from above. ”Not only are they making other people sell the pills made out of stolen ingredients, but they are also even making the other disciples buy the ingredients for them. They are doing absolutely nothing to get tracked by the sect running formation.”
”You are right, master. Who knows how many such stolen pills they have sold already.” Alex was shocked that someone was deceiving the sect in such a manner.
”I don't have any hiding abilities, so everyone will see me if I keep flying in the sky like this, especially in the sect valley with all the light. And I can't show up in the sect valley itself, since that might deter away from the culprit.”
She turned towards Alex and said, ”So you will have to be the one to find this culprit. As soon as you see him, call me. Before that, I can't be seen. ”
Ma Rong immediately flew away. 'What did I get myself into?' Alex wondered as he got back to the sect valley. Thankfully, he was done making for the auction or he would have regretted finding out about the missing ingredients.
He decided to wait for the culprit in the sect market, so he went and looked around the market as if he was looking through the different vendors.
About 2 hours later, midnight arrived. And so did the female disciple. He stayed about 15 meters away, hidden in the crowd, constantly surveying the area around the lady, waiting for the culprit to arrive.
