The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 980: Gimmick, Mu Jiu crowned the East

When Envoy Duan heard the young man's order, he immediately responded, "I understand. Please rest assured, Pavilion Master Qian, I will make sure to find out all the information about Princess Ye in a timely manner."

The young man known as "Master Qian" said "hmm" faintly, and what Shopkeeper Duan saw was his upright back.

The wind is always stronger on higher floors, especially in the top corridor of the attic, where the wind is even stronger.

Gusts of strong wind blew Pavilion Master Qian's clothes into the air.

When Special Envoy Duan saw that Pavilion Master Qian seemed to be interested in Yun Mujiu, he thought for a moment and retrieved a memory from his mind.

"Master, I was working at the headquarters a few months ago. At that time, a Miss Mu came to forge weapons. She provided me with extremely exquisite drawings. The design was so exquisite that even I, who am well-informed, have never seen such an excellent design."

Pavilion Master Qian did not turn around, but just moved the fingertips on the corridor railing.

Seeing that Pavilion Master Qian had no intention of rejecting her, Shopkeeper Duan continued, "This young lady was wearing a veil, revealing a pair of particularly clear large eyes. Her voice was crisp and pleasant. She was just a little girl, but she had an excellent temperament, was generous, and spoke in a graceful manner. At that time, I thought she was a noble lady from a big family who was hiding in plain sight."

Pavilion Master Qian said calmly: "Continue."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Duan thought for a moment and added, "But the young lady did not come to pick up the forged weapons in person. She asked a few servants to come and get them. However, those servants did not reveal which family they were from."

Shopkeeper Duan recalled the look in the girl's eyes when she warned him with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Master, I was very interested in Miss Mu's drawings at that time, but Miss Mu saw through my thoughts in advance."

"So Duan Yi, you were warned by her, right?" Pavilion Master Qian wanted to laugh. His right-hand man was actually frightened by a little girl.

"Master, yes..." Duan Yi felt ashamed, but he still frankly admitted that he was frightened by Miss Mu.

"I am already middle-aged, and I should be indifferent to everyone and everything, but the look in that girl's eyes was too prominent. Her eyes seemed clear and gentle, but they contained a very tough aura, and even a bit of domineering. I was shocked for a moment, and was also frightened."

"Da da..." Pavilion Master Qian tapped the white marble railing gently with his hand, no longer blaming Duan Yi for his uncalm mentality.

Pavilion Master Qian knew that Shopkeeper Duan had a lot of experience and would not easily be impressed by a drawing, let alone praise it highly. This showed how special the drawing provided by Miss Mu was. It was possible that the drawing was designed by the girl herself.

He thought about it, but did not ask Shopkeeper Duan about the blueprint. Soul Stealer Yuanxi has its own rules. When customers come to pay for services, they naturally prioritize the needs of the customers. If the customers do not allow them to disclose something, they usually will not disclose it. Duan Yi was warned by the little girl that day, so he could not disclose or keep the blueprints.

Therefore, Duan Yi did not have the girl's drawings in his hand at all, and there was no need for him to ask Duan Yi to get the drawings for him to look at, even though it was the first time he became interested in the drawings for making hidden weapons.

Pavilion Master Qian stopped knocking on the white marble railing and said faintly: "Anything else to say?" Duan Yi would not talk about another stranger for no reason. He must have thought of some clues and wanted to report to him.

"Yes, yes, yes. I have something else to report." Shopkeeper Duan frowned and continued, "Some time later, one day when I was working at the counter, I met her again."

"But this time she is not dressed as a girl, but as a handsome young man. I have been in the capital for many years, and I have never seen such a handsome and gentle young man."

"I didn't recognize Miss Mu at first, and she was dressed like a man, which made it even harder to identify her. Fortunately, I was impressed by her eyes, so I recognized Miss Mu's appearance just by her eyes. This time, Miss Mu also brought the blueprints to create some hidden weapons."

At this point, Shopkeeper Duan stopped and stared at Pavilion Master Qian's back.

"Master, your subordinate..."

"I felt at that time that Miss Mu was of a special status and must not be a simple person. But we in Soul Seizing have always only inquired or traded information for money. Even though I was a little curious about her, I didn't rashly pay too much attention to her."

Pavilion Master Qian suddenly spoke up and asked bluntly, "So, what new discoveries have you made at this time?"

Shopkeeper Duan was a little terrified that the Pavilion Master had guessed his thoughts in advance. He took a big step forward and said, "Pavilion Master, a few days ago, I was with you near the Herb Hall and happened to see something happening inside the lobby of the Herb Hall in the crowd. Although I only saw some people in the hall from a distance, and even couldn't see them clearly, I have some impression of those people in the Night Palace." Of course, he also recognized the corrupt official Xu Houshan, but Xu Houshan was a waste, so there was no need to mention him.

Pavilion Master Qian turned around abruptly, revealing a handsome face like a scholar.

"Heh, are you trying to tell this Pavilion Master that the Princess Ye is the Young Master Mu and Miss Mu you met before?"

"Ah!" Shopkeeper Duan was shocked. He had never expected that his master would realize his thoughts so quickly before he even said it out loud.

He lowered his head and said uncertainly: "Princess Ye's eyes and figure are a bit like Miss Mu."

"That's it." Pavilion Master Qian had a blank expression on his face. "Send someone to track her down. But I now estimate that she is the extraordinary person you met twice before."

Shopkeeper Duan nodded, his mind raced, and he quickly thought of another small point.

He said, "But Pavilion Master, I have something to report."

"explain."

"Pavilion Master, when Princess Ye came to our attic for the second time, she also emphasized that if someone comes to ask her what weapons she bought, we can say that she purchased supplies from us and brought in a batch of special equipment from the Eastern Empire."

"Oh? How come I have never heard of anyone purchasing supplies under the guise of the Oriental Empire?" Pavilion Master Qian was a little surprised.

The East Asian Empire is the most powerful country on this continent. Generally speaking, ordinary organizations or factions will not easily use the gimmick of the empire. Even their most powerful killer organization has never taken the initiative to link themselves with the East Asian Empire.

There are five countries on the Star-Moon Continent, but no one knows the true origin of their organization.

He knew that many people were looking for his country of origin, but he had never allowed anyone to find out his origins, nor did he allow anyone to know the Soul-Taker Yuanxi's true background.

Now it is quite interesting to see that Yun Mujiu, a little girl, actually asked Duan Yi to find a gimmick when making a hidden weapon, using the excuse that her weapon was bought from the Eastern Empire.
