"Who is it?"
Yuwen Huaji and the others reflexively looked at the door, and their expressions froze.
Standing at the door was a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. Her eyes were bright like the moon, and her skin was whiter than snow. The corners of her lips were slightly open, revealing a small row of fine broken teeth, making her look very cute.
"Who is your elder?" asked Gao Mingde immediately. Who sent you?"
The young girl's face revealed a trace of unease as she snorted,""What elder? I am me!"
Yuwen Huaji quickly calmed down and put away his contempt for the girl. He knew the strength of the guards in the Yuwen clan's inner residence, especially during an important meeting today. The fact that this young girl could walk here without alerting anyone was enough to prove her ability.
"May I know how I should address you? You said that you know where the Xiao clan's account book is now. Is this true?”
Seeing Yuwen Huaji's polite attitude, the girl's expression eased. She took two steps forward and said proudly,""My name is Jiang Yunyan. I've just started wandering the martial world, so I'm sure you've never heard of me. As for the location of the account book, it's not difficult. There's nothing in this world that I can't find out.”
"Where is the account book now?" Yuwen Zhiji quickly asked.”After saying that, he immediately realized that his words were a little reckless and could not help but reveal an embarrassed expression.
Jiang Yunyan didn't care at all. She said with a smile,""There's no harm in telling you. That account book is now in the main residence of the Xiao family.”
Seeing that the girl had told them the information so readily, Yuwen Huaji and the others were at a loss. Gao Mingde said,""We don't accept rewards for no reason. I'm afraid you have other intentions for telling us such a secret, right?”
Jiang Yunyan nodded and said briskly,""You're not stupid. You know that business needs to be mutually beneficial.”
Gao Mingde couldn't help but blush. He had been an official of the imperial court for half his life, but this was the first time he had been praised by a young girl like an elder praising a junior. How could he endure it? However, he couldn't flare up, so he could only sit back down with a dark face.
The third of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River glanced at the girl's beautiful figure and said darkly,"" Miss, you've already told us the location of the account book. Aren't you afraid that we'll be ruthless and…hehe…"
Although the other people in the hall felt contempt for the third brother's words, they also felt a sense of malice. After all, this matter concerned their lives. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
The smile on Jiang Yunyan's face did not fade as she said with a hint of mockery,""So what if I tell you? Could it be that you can go to the Xiao family's main residence and rob them? Although your Yuwen clan is strong, the Xiao family is not easy to control. Also, do you know where the account book is hidden in the main residence? Was he planning to turn the place upside down? I'm afraid the Yuwen family doesn't have the right to act so recklessly in the capital!”
These words were extremely sharp and hit the nail on the head. It made Yuwen Huaji and the others speechless and made them completely put away their contempt. Not to mention that this young girl might have a powerful background, just her scheming alone could not be underestimated.
That's right. Even if they knew that the account book was in the Xiao family's main residence, it would be useless if they could not confirm the exact location.
Just like what the young girl said, the Xiao clan was a thousand-year-old family with an incomparably deep foundation. In terms of the number of experts, they were only a lot more than the Yuwen clan. Even if they had the advantage of a surprise attack, they would at most catch the Xiao clan off guard. They would not have much time to rummage through the cabinets and chests to find the account book.
Yue Ji said coolly," Since Heroine Jiang let out such words, presumably there must be a solution, right? Isn't it possible to say it?”
"That's right. As long as you can help me do this, my Yuwen clan will definitely not treat you unfairly."”
Only then did Jiang Yunyan reveal a satisfied expression. She said in a soft voice,"The method is very simple. Send someone to attack the Xiao clan's main residence. As for the account book, I'll steal it.”
"You're going to steal it?"
Everyone in the hall looked doubtful. Liu Changfeng said politely,"Miss, it's not that we don't want to believe you, but this matter is too important, we really can't take the risk.”
Yuwen Huaji followed up." Sneaking an attack on the Xiao clan is no small matter. Moreover, the account book is extremely confidential. Xiao Cong will definitely send experts to protect it." If you can't show me your strength, we can only decline your kindness.”
Jiang Yunyan frowned and said unhappily,""You guys are really troublesome. Forget it, it's not difficult for me to prove my strength.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yunyan waved her right hand. Her movement was so fast that it was impossible to catch it with the naked eye. She took out a mask from somewhere and gently covered her face.
"How about this?"
Jiang Yunyan's voice came from behind the mask, but the hall was as silent as still water.
This was because the mask Jiang Yunyan was wearing had a strangely shaped peacock carved on it. There was only one person in the entire capital who had such an exquisite and ancient mask. That was the legendary guardian peacock who had the cultivation of a martial grandmaster!
Stealing the mask of a grandmaster?
Just thinking about this kind of thing would make everyone feel a chill down their spine.
How much of a heart did he have to do such a ridiculous thing?
Just as everyone was shocked, Yue Ji lightly clapped her hands and said,""Empty Miracle Hands, Traceless Goose, so you're the Miracle Hand Sect's Miracle Hand Heavenly Venerate's master.”
Only then did everyone reveal a look of realization. So this woman was actually a disciple of the Miracle Hand Sect, which was known as the world's number one stealing technique. That was not surprising.
When the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River heard about this woman's background, they immediately trembled in fear, especially Third Brother. It was as if his parents had died.
Duan Yue, on the other hand, was glad that he did not provoke them like the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River.
Heavenly Master Miracle Hand of the Miracle Hand Sect was an expert of the same generation as Moon Empress Tantai Mingyue and Undying Nether King Jiang Jiankong. Even Mysterious Empress Yan Qingxuan and Flower Concubine Qin Mengyao had to respectfully address him as senior. Moreover, the Miracle Hand Sect had always been a single-lineage sect, and they were the most protective. If he really provoked this young girl, he was afraid that even he would not be able to live past seven days.
Empty-handed Miracle Hands, stealing a life was also stealing!
Jiang Yunyan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. She took off her mask and said with a smile,"Can you trust me now?"
Yuwen Huaji nodded excitedly at first, then calmed down and said in a deep voice,""May I know what Young Lady is seeking?"
The smile on Jiang Yunyan's face grew wider. With her hands behind her back, she said,""Demon Heart Pill." Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:32PM
