Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Ying’s answer was within MO Ruyue’s expectations. She smiled slightly and reached out to touch his face.
“Gu Ying, they are very important to me, but your status is unparalleled. You must remember this no matter what!
She spoke slowly and solemnly, staring into Gu Ying’s eyes. Then, she saw his eyes curve up, and his eyes were filled with her shadow.
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple. After her skillful transformation, even the babies who had been with her for the longest time would not be able to recognize that the middle-aged woman in front of them was their mother if they stood face to face.
MO Ruyue put away the two thumb rings that the Xiao family had given her. Although those things could be used to contact the Xiao family’s secret spies, it would also alert the people who were secretly monitoring the Xiao family.
Gu Ying was already used to the underworld here, so he naturally had other ways to find the Xiao family’s spies.
The two of them weren’t in a hurry to find the Xiao family’s spies. Instead, they directly rented a small, secluded courtyard in Xu City.
It was a detached courtyard, and it was a distance away from the surrounding neighbors. It could easily avoid the situation of “the walls have ears”.
They disguised themselves as a business couple, and in order to make their act more realistic, they even took in a small caravan.
The goods they were selling were cloth, oil, and grain. Their final destination was a small town outside the Yueyang Manor.
Of course, there was a city along their way called Sun City.
After they settled down in Xu City, the couple began to look for buyers to cooperate with, and they even started to talk about business.
Gu Ying was in charge of this matter, while MO Ruyue played the role of a good wife. Every day, he would take a little servant girl out to buy ingredients and so on. In fact, he secretly left some clues and then sat there waiting for someone to come.
On the second night after they settled down in Xu City, there were indeed people coming.
Just after nine o’clock, a figure landed in the small courtyard. He directly walked to the window outside the main house and lightly knocked twice. “The honored guest has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you.”
As soon as he said this, the door of the main house opened silently.
The person who came was also bold because of his skill. He walked in directly and closed the door behind him.
There ‘Alas no light in the room, but the darkness didn’t affect martial artists like them much.
“Can you show me the key to our distinguished guest’s success?
While the person was speaking, the couple in front of them had already taken the initiative to flash the ring in their hands.
One was emerald green while the other was milky white. When the person saw this, he immediately knelt down on one knee, his attitude much more respectful than before.
“Please forgive me, honored guest. I have to investigate because of my duties.”
“Don’t kneel, get up.”
MO Ruyue waved her hand and had the man stand up.
“We have a cooperative relationship with your master, so there’s no need for such formalities. As long as you cooperate with our actions, it’ll be your credit.” “Yes, if there’s anything you need this subordinate to do, honored guest can just say it. The head of the family has already ordered that whatever the honored guest says, we must follow his orders and not disobey.”
When MO Ruyue heard these words, she also secretly nodded in her heart.
It was no wonder that the Xiao family could sit at the top of the intelligence team. Their vision, structure, and style of doing things were not comparable to ordinary people.
It’s said that you can’t set a trap without giving up the child, but what if you give up the child and don’t set a trap for the wolf?
Many people would have such concerns, and it was inevitable that they would be timid in their actions.
After hearing the Xiao family’s words, she was no longer worried that they would drag her down.
“Now, I need you to gather the people in charge of both the light and dark lines in Xu City, as well as the main operation team members. Because what’s going to happen next is a big move, and it should be something you’ve been looking forward to for a long time.”
MO Ruyue had heard from Ye Youwei that the Xiao family and the blood tower were sworn enemies. This was the basis for their cooperation, so this time, when she and Gu Ying wanted to eliminate the blood tower, the Xiao family should be the first to take the lead.
She didn’t hide her intention to play down Gu Ying’s existence and push the Xiao family to the position of “murderers.” Obviously, the head of the Xiao family didn’t care at all.
As long as they could get rid of the blood tower, this great threat, and also obtain the alliance of two top experts at once, they would definitely profit without losing.
Furthermore, the Xiao family had the official channels of the Imperial Court to clear their name. In addition, Gu Ying had already changed his strategy and released new rumors, making this matter even easier to handle.
“Why don’t you come with me, honored guest? Our Xiao clan’s stronghold is much safer than your courtyard.”
The person made a suggestion, and MO Ruyue and Gu Ying also nodded and accepted it.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have their guard up, but before MO Ruyue left, Ye Youwei had already told her how to determine if the person who came to meet them was from the Xiao
Therefore, they had only chatted with him for so long after they had confirmed it.
If that person was a fake or a mole, he would have been killed by Gu Ying not long after they met. How could he still be alive to “suggest” this?
The three of them were all qinggong experts. After silently blending into the night, they flew towards a certain place in the east of the city, one in front and two behind.
The Xiao family’s contact point was a gambling den. As expected, it was a classic stronghold that often appeared.
The more openly it was made into a stronghold, the less it would attract attention. After all, everyone knew that it was dark under the light, so no one would be so stupid to do it knowingly.
After MO Ruyue entered the gambling den, she went straight through the secret passage and came to a private house at the back.
She was surprised to see at least eight people waiting in the house. They must have received the news and been waiting for her every day.
“Honored guest, I am Xiao Jincheng, the General Manager of the Xu City branch. The head of the family has ordered that once the honored guest arrives, it will be as if he has come in person.”
The one who came forward to speak was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was not tall, but his body was sturdy, especially his pair of eyes that were shining brightly. One look and you could tell that he was an extraordinary master.
“Well, let’s make a brief introduction. What are you responsible for?”
MO Ruyue didn’t waste any words and directly started to explain the abilities and responsibilities of the people present.
After the others had introduced themselves, she already had a preliminary plan in her heart. She then turned to look at Gu Ying.
“This is my partner. Next, let him talk about the plan we’ve made before and assign you your tasks.”
She had discussed the plan with Gu Ying, but she had left the explaining of the plan to Gu Ying.
Her style of doing things and thinking were still the same as in her previous life. She was not as familiar with the dark world’s laws in this time and space as Gu Ying was, so she played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses. At the same time, it saved her a lot of trouble.
Gu Ying glanced at her and a smile flashed across his eyes. Then, he returned to his original cold and distant self.
He took out a map that was folded to the size of a palm and unfolded it. He pointed to the marked places on it and began to explain.
As he spoke, the more the Xiao family members listened, the more shocked they were. They didn’t expect to hear such a meticulously planned operation
They put themselves in the shoes of the blood towers people, and when they looked at this plan again, their hearts couldn’t help but turn cold, but at the same time, they felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, the two people in front of them were friends and not enemies..
