NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17: Meeting (2)
Like the first three nights, Wei Qingyue and Uncle Su came to the black market.
Tonight, they finally saw Jin An's stall.
Dressed in black clothes, both Wei Qingyue and Uncle Su approached Jin An's stall.
Sitting on a small stool, Jin An continued to look down on the ground. Even when the two of them appeared in front of his stall, he never turned his head to look up.
Feeling the awkward scene, Wei Qingyue coughed a little to clear it away.
Ahem...ahem...
Without turning his head, Jin An said. "Just tell me what you want."
Wei Qingyue and Uncle Su looked at eachother. Then, Wei Qingyue decided to speak.
She said. "I heard that you sell information?"
"See the sign...." Jin An pointed at the board in front of him.
"Yeah right." Wei Qingyue looked at the board, a little embarrassed. "Do you have any information of a man called Wan Dazi."
Jin An suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up. He said. "You mean the man wanted by the royal family and is currently being persue by the third princess?"
"Yes." Wei Qingyue was not surprised. That information was known to many people. An information seller knowing about it is not a big deal.
Hearing that, Jin An squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Qingyue, intently.
About 10 seconds later, he said. "That will be 10,000 spirit stones."
Wei Qingyue eyes went wide. She could not believe that the price would be so extravagant. "Isn't that too much for such a piece of information."
"Oh.. don't be surprised. That is special for you." Jin An shook his head and said in a simple tone.
"My special? Why?" Wei Qingyue asked in confusion.
"Oh don't play dumb, your highness. I know it's you." Jin An responded.
Hearing Jin An's words, both Uncle Su and Wei Qingyue became alert.
When both of them came to the black market, they not only covered themselves with black clothings. They also put on disguise and also changed their aura. No one could recognize them, even Dharma Body Realm experts, unless they met someone too powerful.
That's why they put on their guard up, when they heard Jin An recognizing them.
"Haha... you guys don't need to be so work up. I will not try anything funny. I am just doing my job." Jin An explained in a boring and tired tone.
Wei Qingyue looked at him to confirm whether it was true or not.
"How do you know its me?" She asked cautiously.
"Oh.. I saw you two yesterday. That's why I recognize you." Jin An said simply.
"Okey so? Are you going to buy the information or not? Let me tell you, I am probably the only in this city who has the information of Wan Dazi." He added.
Wei Qingyue went silent for a moment. Then, she said. "I don't have 10,000 low spirit stones on me currently."
"Then why did you announce that you will reward the 10,000 spirit stones to anyone who can give you any clue related to Wan Dazi?" Jin An rised his voice a little bit this time.
"I was sure no one can find anything about it." Wei Qingyue murmured softly.
Even though she said it in a very low voice, Jin An still heard it clearly.
He was speechless when heard the sentence. He felt like an idiot when he thought about how he worked so carefully to find the information of Wan Dazi. How he dreamed of getting the 10,000 spirit stones and expanding his little hands beyond the Cold Lake Province.
Now, he heard that was just a scam. That too from the mouth of the one who said it. And a princess at that.
He felt like his dream was running faster than him.
(Which mean he could not catch up at all)
He took several deep breathes to calm himself. And eventually, he did calmed down a little.
"Then, how much you can give me?" He asked trying not to sound frustrated.
"I don't have any spirit stones on me." She replied.
"WHAT?" Jin An's voice was so loud that it traveled several stalls away from his.
Hearing the loud voice, many people from further stalls looked at their direction. Their eyes showed they all were wondering what happened.
Feeling all the gazes of many people, Wei Qingyue immediately added before Jin An said another word. "But I have something that can exchange for the information."
Jin An turned his head slightly away, and he looked at Wei Qingyue with his side eyes. Uncertainty filled in his eyes.
"Really?" He said, skeptical.
"Yes. I'm sure this can exchange for it." As she was saying that, she also took out a small rounded bead from her space ring.
The bead was dark red in colour, with some heavy aura surrounding it.
When Jin An saw the bead, a system notification immediately popped up.
[Item: Magma Bead.
Grade: Mid Mysterious Grade.
Worth: 9,000-12,000 Low Spirit Stomes.
Uses: Warrior with Magma Treasure Bone can consume it. It can help them in breakthrough or increasing their small realms rapidly.]
Wei Qingyue also explained the same thing as she took out the bead.
Then she handed the Magma Bead to Jin An's hand.
Jin An held it and rised it up and checked out with his one eye closed.
"OK this will do." He reached inside and acted like he put it inside his robe, but in reality he just put it in his system inventory.
"You want the information of Wan Dazi, right?" He asked again to confirm, he was doing it intentionally.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Then listen carefully, I will not repeat it again." Jin An cleared his throat and started speaking about the information of Wan Dazi.
Wei Qingyue quickly cleared her mind.
"The man you are looking for is currently in the End Lake City. He is trap there. That's why he is still in the End Lake City. Otherwise, he would have already left the kingdom."
"His current identity is the leader of a mortal poet group. His current strength is the 1st level of True Qi Realm."
