After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 558 Worth Investing In

The next morning, Shen Xu arrived at the Fengyulou's outpost in Jiuqu City as agreed.

"I was in such a rush yesterday that I forgot to ask your name, young man. I'm so sorry," the middle-aged man who had greeted him yesterday said with a smile.

"Wu Hen".

This is the name on his identity document. He originally wanted to use Shen Hansan, but the identity of Shen Hansan had been exposed to many people.

It was too dangerous for him, who wanted to completely sever ties with Yukikawa.

"So it's Brother Wu. Please wait a moment, Brother Wu. The person accompanying you to Biwei City might have a bit of a temper, so please bear with me along the way."

"Can I get my money back? I didn't pay to suffer like this," Shen Xu said immediately.

"Sorry, the words 'refund' have never been used at Fengyu Tower."

"If your information is false, won't you take responsibility?" Shen Xu asked with some curiosity.

"It's pointless to take some things too seriously, and I guarantee that as long as you take good care of her, you'll get more than your money's worth," the middle-aged man whispered mysteriously.

"You mean, I'm paying a lot of money to hire him to accompany me to Biwei City, and I'm also going to take care of him?"

"You can't say that. Do you think anyone can settle in Biwei City?"

No matter how much money you spend, it's all in vain if no one helps you. I'm only giving you this opportunity because we click. If you can't seize it, there's nothing I can do.

"What you say makes sense, but perhaps Biwei City doesn't even meet my requirements?"

“We have only selected the most suitable city based on your conditions. If Biwei City cannot meet your needs, I don’t think there is anywhere you want in the entire Ningzhou.”

"I hope so. More than 10,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, your Fengyu Tower really makes money like water," Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

"What, interested?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Fortunately!"

"The personnel configuration of the Wind and Rain Pavilion is actually very simple. The most core positions in a branch of a city are only the two pavilion masters, 'Ming Pavilion' and 'An Pavilion', and one mirror master."

Only these three positions are true members of the Wind and Rain Tower, with no distinction between superiors and inferiors. Their monthly salaries are quite substantial, and they also receive a considerable commission for both collecting and selling intelligence.

For this order like yours, I'll probably get a cut of 1,000 Nourishing Essence Pills, and I didn't contribute anything; I just used intelligence from headquarters.

"How was it? Isn't it a very easy job?"

"Why are you telling me all this?" Shen Xu frowned, sensing that these were likely the secrets of the Wind and Rain Pavilion.

"Didn't you ask me that?"

"When did I ask you that!" Shen Xu retorted immediately.

"Never mind, it's not important, she's already here."

Shen Xu looked out the window and saw a tall, elegant woman in a purple dress walking slowly toward the pavilion.

However, the bun she had taken a few bites of ruined her overall demeanor.

Moreover, when she realized she was almost at the door, she hurriedly lowered her head and stuffed all the buns in her hand into her mouth, then stood up and elegantly wiped her mouth with the hem of her skirt.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but cover his eyes, "Can someone like this really become a member of the organization's secret service?"

"Are you also a member of your building?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.

"It's not over yet. Why do you care so much? Just know that she can help you." The middle-aged man clearly didn't want to discuss this topic.

"Xuan Yue has come as ordered!" The woman outside the door spoke in a cold, clear voice.

"Come in!"

As the woman pushed open the door and entered, Shen Xu was able to see her face clearly. He had to admit that if he hadn't seen the contrasting scene outside, the woman would definitely be considered a cold and aloof fairy.

"Xuan Yue, this is our guest, Wu Hen. Young Master Wu, the task of accompanying him to Biwei City is entrusted to you."

"Sect Master, I don't want to go!" Liu Xianchu refused.

"Nonsense! How can you refuse an organization's mission so easily? What kind of upbringing did your superiors give you!" The middle-aged man's voice was tinged with anger.

"But I left because I didn't want to stay in Biwei City. If I go back now, won't I be laughed at?"

"Master, I'm begging you, please have mercy and find someone else! Besides, he's not without legs, why does he need someone to accompany him?" Liu Xianchu muttered softly.

“A person who tries to bargain with an organization can never become a member of the organization. If you haven’t thought it through yet, I can find someone else to replace you. As for the consequences, I think you should know them.”

"Fine! Fine, I'll go! You threaten me with this every day." Liu Xianchu pouted.

"Brother Wu, your transaction with Fengyulou is now complete. If you need anything, you are welcome to come again next time. I wish you a pleasant life," the middle-aged man said with a formulaic smile.

"I hope what you're saying is true. I don't have much time left." Shen Xu stood up and walked towards Liu Xianchu.

"Miss Crescent Moon, I look forward to your guidance in the coming days."

"Who wants to teach you anything? If you hadn't insisted on going to Biwei City, I wouldn't have been forced to go back. It's all your fault!" Liu Xianchu looked at him with disgust in her eyes.

"Master, is this how your Fengyu Tower treats its guests?" Shen Xu said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Crescent Moon apologizes to the guest!"

"Sorry!!" Liu Xianchu said reluctantly, looking at the middle-aged man's cold eyes, and then glared at Shen Xu.

Shen Xu just smiled and didn't say anything more.

After Shen Xu and Liu Xianchu left, the man in black robes appeared in the room. "I feel like you didn't find him a helper, but rather a nemesis!"

If Miss Liu insists on preventing him from becoming a resident of Biwei City, his chances of passing the test are very slim.

"As long as Liu Xianchu can go back, that's fine. The information I sold him was correct. If he fails the test, that's his own business. What does it have to do with me!"

"Then why did you tell him so many secrets? I thought you really thought highly of him and wanted to recruit him into the organization?" the man in black laughed.

“If even a major power knows about something, it can’t be called a secret. But I really think highly of him. If he can become a resident of Biwei City despite Liu Xianchu’s obstruction, then he is the best choice for the Ming Pavilion in Biwei City.”

"It has to be you! But I still don't understand why you think highly of someone you've only met twice."

“His name is very good. ‘The wind passes without leaving a trace, the rain falls with a sound’ is very suitable for our Wind and Rain Pavilion.”

"Just because of this!!" The man in black clearly didn't believe it.

"Isn't it possible?"

"You're being far too hasty!"

"Haha...just kidding."

The fact that he is already a mid-stage Qi Sea cultivator at such a young age shows that he has good talent.

The fact that he came to Ningchuan alone and even asked us for information shows that he has no background.

The fact that he could easily produce 10,000 Nourishing Essence Pills without batting an eye shows that he is wealthy and unconcerned with trivial matters.

The fact that they dared to try after hearing about the conditions in Biwei City shows that they are not demonic cultivators.

His composure and dignified demeanor during our conversation indicated that he had seen much of the world.

Most importantly, they have ordinary relatives behind them who are easy to manipulate.

Isn't someone like that worth investing in?
