BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62: Information
As someone who wanted to get things done quickly, he decided to get moving.
The first thing he wanted was to find some information, so he walked around different places while analyzing different businesses, asked some questions, and after a while, he entered a place where they sell wine in an alley.
This place was alone, he was the only customer right now.
After entering, he sat down.
"Coffee 3 quarters." Tang Yin said under his mask as he put 150 spirit gold coins on the table directly.
The attendant stared at him.
"Coffee 3 quarters?"
"From the fifth level."
"10 more."
Tang Yin after exchanging a few words with the attendant, put 2,000 spiritual gold coins on the table.
The man looked at him in surprise and after taking all the money, had Tang Yin follow him.
The latter was led into a dimly lit room, and they both sat down at a nearby old desk.
"Ask anything, sir." The man said at that moment with a calm smile on his face, sitting on the other side of the desk.
"Zhang Feiju, from the Imperial Academy. I want you to tell me everything." Tang Yin replied, and the man stared at him.
'No wonder he wanted from the fifth level.' Thought this man to himself, and then he began to speak.
Zhang Feiju was born as the genius of a powerful family of an empire that once had borders with this one. Said empire was exterminated by a great sect, only he is the survivor.
Thus, the man began to tell every single thing he knew about Zhang Feiju.
As an information salesman, this was his job.
After a while, Tang Yin nodded.
"Great Sects, do you know anything?" Tang Yin asked, and the man stared at him for a long while.
He couldn't answer that so easily.
Tang Yin stared at him under his mask, but nothing flashed across his face. Just someone who used to look for this kind of information could understand what was going on, so Tang Yin sighed and put another 5,000 spiritual gold coins on the table.
The man then sighed a little.
"It's not a good idea to talk about the Great Sects like this, let alone in an empire allied with one of them. But since the lord is so kind." He replied and began.
"I don't have much information on most of the regions, I can only say that in this region there are 3 Great Sects and in the Southern Region there are 3 as well. I don't know regarding many more, but..."
The information of the large sects was not very detailed because this was a small, high-level informant from a small empire.
Still, he more or less talked about these, but when Tang Yin asked about the Cultivation Realms within these sects, the man could only shake his head.
He didn't know if he couldn't answer or if he didn't know them, so Tang Yin simply gave up on that.
After asking him several more questions, Tang Yin left.
He got important information on several things, he also asked about the ruling family of this empire and a few other things.
'In the end, a small information seller of a small empire like this, can't give much...' Tang Yin thought as he headed towards the Imperial Castle.
From what he learned from the information of this royal family, it is that it is a small, but powerful family with very talented people among its ranks. But that, right now, they only depend on the presence of the emperor's eldest daughter.
Although she is not in the empire, it is known that her talent is incredible and that she belongs to a great force on the continent. But he does not know the name of this force.
What is certain is that the emperor's position could be usurped at any time, as she has not returned in a very long time.
In addition, the informant seems to know that lately, the little princess has found some treasure that has made her cultivation increase several times in just two months.
Tang Yin doesn't know how that informant came to know about that, but at least he didn't know that it's not that she found a treasure, she just found Tang Yin.
'Well, not that I care what happens around these parts, but it's better that she stays well, so take care of Feifei...' Tang Yin thought as he arrived at the front of the castle.
It was quite large and nicely decorated, but it was nothing amazing in Tang Yin's eyes.
He approached the guards, who were all over the place, and they stopped him.
"Stop, this is the Imperial Castle, do you have any reception tokens?" asked the guard who had him, and Tang Yin showed the token the princess had given him.
As soon as the guards saw this token, they were surprised and immediately changed their attitude.
"Young Sir, excuse our discourtesy. Please come with us. We will guide you inside and let the Imperial Princess know of your arrival." They replied three of them, and soon he was led inside.
None of them were going to question anything, this was the personal token of the Imperial Princess.
The emperor's favorite daughter.
Anyone who had the personal tokens of the emperor's children could enter this place as they wished, so they had nothing to question or ask.
For the holders of this token, the castle was their home.
Moreover, they had listened to the instructions from a month ago. The Imperial Princess had said that soon a Young Master would come using their token, they were to treat him courteously.
Thus, Tang Yin was led inside the Imperial Castle and taken to a rather large hall that was lonely.
"Young Master, wait a moment. We will report to the Imperial Princess right away and snacks will be brought to you, in case you would like to eat." Said the guard, and after seeing Tang Yin nod, he left.
Tang Yin looked at the armor and nodded to himself.
'Armor made from the skin of spiritual beasts, mixed with tough minerals. Not bad.' He thought and then relaxed in the comfortable seat.
They brought him various things to drink and eat, but Tang Yin didn't touch any of it.
He couldn't show his face, after all.
Thus, 10 minutes passed.
Tang Yin was thinking various things when he began to hear the sounds of footsteps running towards this place and smiled.
"Young Master Tang Yin, it's really you!" Zu Xiaolin's soft but beautiful voice was heard from the entrance, and Tang Yin looked at her and nodded.
"Little Princess, I have come as promised. But I have to apologize, I won't be able to last long this time." Tang Yin replied with a smile, and Zu Xiaolin nodded.
"Nothing can be done, a person like you, is always busy." She said and walked over to him as she waved the rest away.
Tang Yin looked at her cultivation.
Last time, she was at the Second Level of the newly ascended Spiritual Master Realm.
But now, even Tang Yin was amazed.
Two months without seeing her, but she managed to increase her cultivation two levels per month, up to the sixth level of the Spiritual Master Realm.
'They must have used a lot of resources on her these months...' Tang Yin thought.
"Congratulations, already at the Sixth Level, you really are talented. Worthy of royalty." Tang Yin said with a smile under his mask, and she smiled somewhat embarrassed.
"If it weren't for you, I couldn't have made it here. Come with me, Young Master. As promised, I will make it up to you. I already spoke to my father, and although he is not here at the moment... I have this." She said and then took out some golden keys and lowered her voice.
"They are the keys to the imperial treasury. Let's look at it together, Young Master." She said, and without waiting for him to respond, she started pulling him towards that place.
