Listening to Xiao Jin’s introduction, Wan Lei rubbed his forehead, his head aching. The Hall Masters were all distinct, each with their own characteristics, none of them easy to deal with.
Suddenly, Wan Lei looked up and asked,
“Ah, there’s one more, why didn’t the Water Hall Master get mentioned?”
Xiao Jin chuckled and skirted around the question.
“Brother Wan, do you know who the Four Beauties of our Five Elements Hall are?”
Of course, the Water Hall Master was among them, otherwise, why would you bring this up?
Wan Lei shook his head.
“Hehe, the Four Beauties are the Dan Hall Master, the Huan Hall Master, the Feng Hall Master, and the Water Hall Master.
Among the four Hall Masters, the Dan Hall Master is the most mysterious, the Huan Hall Master is the noblest, the Feng Hall Master is the coolest, and the Water Hall Master, Xi Sha…
is the most gentle.”
“Gentle?”
“Yes, to be one of the Four Beauties, I don’t need to elaborate on their looks. Just their personalities, you wouldn’t find anyone gentler than the Water Hall Master in the entire world. She’s the most meticulous in guiding her disciples, and in fifty thousand years, no one has ever seen her lose her temper.
This is also why she’s the most popular and well-liked in the Five Elements Hall, and the dream lover of countless male disciples.”
As he said this, Xiao Jin whispered,
“It’s said that the Golden Hall Master and the Fire Hall Master have been pursuing the Water Hall Master since before the Five Elements Hall was even created. It’s been fifty thousand years, and the outcome is still undecided. The Water Hall Master remains unmarried.
So, if you want to get something done, among the five Hall Masters, the Water Hall Master is the easiest to approach.”
Wan Lei nodded upon hearing this. Among these five, it was indeed only the Water Hall Master, Xi Sha, who seemed the most normal.
Having decided to visit the Water Hall Master another day, Wan Lei brought up another matter.
“Brother Jin, I heard you have a wide network of contacts in the Five Elements Hall. You’re the person with the most friends in the entire Five Elements Hall. Brother Jin, you’re truly popular.”
One sentence sent Xiao Jin into a fit of smugness.
“Of course! In the Five Elements Hall, I, Xiao Jin, am known for my good relationships and numerous friends.”
“Then, if I want to find someone, can you help me find them?”
“Leave it to me. If I can’t find them within a day, you can write my name backward.”
“Good, with Brother Jin’s word, I’m reassured.
The day I arrived, a woman named Fang Xiaoyu was arrested for cultivating forbidden techniques. I’d like to ask Brother Jin to help inquire which prison cell she’s in, and who the leader overseeing her is.
If possible, I’d also like to ask Brother Jin to help get her released, as I wish to meet her.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin instinctively felt that this matter was not simple. But then he thought, it was just asking him to help find someone and pass on a message, it should be fine. He had to give Brother Wan face.
At this moment, Wan Lei took out two storage bags and handed them to Xiao Jin.
“Oh dear, Brother Wan, what are you doing? With our relationship, how can I accept your money? Hurry and take it back, take it back.”
“Hey, I know you don’t want it, but don’t you have to spend money to ask someone to do something? I can’t have you helping and also spending your own money, can I? Then I won’t ask you for help again in the future.”
Finally, with Xiao Jin’s half-hearted refusal and coy acceptance, Wan Lei managed to give away the spirit stones.
Xiao Jin smiled with satisfaction.
“Brother Wan, just wait for my good news. Don’t worry, before you meet the person, no one will know you’re inquiring about this.
Oh, and here’s a small piece of information for you: among the Four Beauties, except for the Huan Hall Master, the rest are all still single.”
After saying this, Xiao Jin left with a cheerful smile.
Wan Lei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled speechlessly. This Xiao Jin thought too highly of him. He was merely a Void Realm cultivator, how could he dare to covet a Saint?
Such beautiful Saints, did the other Saints of the Five Elements Hall not like them? Would it be his turn as a mere disciple? They could crush him in ten thousand ways.
If he really had a sister complex or an empress complex, he could play around in the mortal world as he pleased. But the Saints in the Five Elements Hall were tigers, untouchable.
Moreover, no matter how beautiful they were, what did it have to do with him? Could they be more beautiful than his own Xiao Yu?
Wan Lei had just arrived in the immortal realm and was very poor. But after plundering the wealth of the Three Monsters of Jing Mountain, he immediately became very rich.
That was the accumulation of three Tai Heng Realm powerhouses over tens of thousands of years, which was a terrifying number.
And for the sake of convenience, the three monsters had divided the spirit stones into many storage bags, each containing a million spirit stones, and there were over ten thousand of these storage bags.
The two million spirit stones Wan Lei gave away were merely a drop in the bucket.
And Xiao Jin did not disappoint him.
The next evening, Xiao Jin called him.
“Hello, Brother Wan, I’ve found the person for you. His name is Qi Heng, and he’s the leader of the thirteenth group of cells in the B-grade prison. He’s the one you’re looking for. I gave him a million spirit stones, and he agreed to meet you.
Tonight, at the same private room as yesterday, go and wait.
I won’t be going. I know it’s not convenient for me to hear your business, so you two can talk.”
Wan Lei smiled faintly. This Xiao Jin was quite reliable.
After hanging up the phone, Wan Lei went straight out and flew towards the city. In no time, he arrived at the private room in the restaurant.
This private room had been booked by Xiao Jin, and some food and drinks had been served. Although Xiao Jin was not very steady, he certainly knew how to handle things.
Wan Lei sat on the chair, poured himself a drink, and waited for Qi Heng while contemplating what to say next.
After waiting for more than an hour, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a rough-looking cultivator entered, wearing the uniform of a Wood Hall disciple. His eyes cautiously scanned Wan Lei from head to toe.
A Tai Heng Realm cultivator.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Qi. Please have a seat, Senior Brother Qi.”
Wan Lei stood up and clasped his hands.
“You were looking for me? I just got off duty, so I’m late. Please forgive me.”
Qi Heng sat down, took a sip of his wine, and then asked,
“Have I met you somewhere? You look so familiar.”
Xiao Jin indeed hadn’t leaked that I was inquiring, but my identity can’t be hidden, can it?
“I am Wan Lei.”
“Wan Lei? Oh, you’re that Origin level newcomer who caused such a stir some time ago?”
Qi Heng suddenly realized,
“No wonder someone was willing to spend a million spirit stones just to meet me, and be so generous. It turns out it’s you.”
“Indeed, it is I.”
Wan Lei toasted him with a cup of wine.
“Alright, you’re a great prodigy. I guess the Hall Masters and Elders all know you. What is it you want with a small fry like me? Get straight to the point. You paid upfront, so I’ll speak frankly.”
Seeing this, Wan Lei stopped beating around the bush and directly conjured a formation.
Qi Heng, who often stayed in prison, naturally recognized it as a soundproofing formation, so he didn’t become wary, knowing that very important matters were about to be discussed.
“You’re so mysterious.”
Qi Heng took a drink and looked at Wan Lei.
“My friend, you’re a straightforward person, so I won’t beat around the bush, lest I displease you.
I would like to inquire about someone.”
