Benefactor Feng
Benefactor Feng
He banged on the door and shouted, "Boss Yue! This is an emergency!"
The door flew open the next moment, and the middle-aged man rushed inside, standing before this beautiful woman with a cold expression on her face.
"What is it?"
"B-Benefactor Feng has returned!" The middle-aged man immediately said.
"Benefactor Feng? Who the heck is that?"
However, the Boss didn't appear to recognize this person.
The middle-aged man looked surprised for a second before snapping out of his daze and continuing, "Benefactor Feng! She was the person who saved Madam Yue, your mother, when she was on the verge of death! Did you already forget?! Madam Yue even told us to never forget this name even after her—"
The beautiful woman suddenly stood up with a look of realization on her face.
"W-Where is this person?!" She exclaimed.
"They're currently waiting in the guest room on this—"
Before the middle-aged man could even finish his sentence, the beautiful woman rushed outside and went to the room Feng Yuxiang and Yuan were staying in.
After opening the door in an exaggerated manner, the beautiful woman turned to look at the two figures sitting inside the room, and her gaze immediately landed on Feng Yuxiang.
"A-Are you really Benefactor Feng?" The beautiful woman asked Feng Yuxiang in a trembling voice.
"Hm? Who are you? I was expecting Yue Xin." Feng Yuxiang looked at the woman with raised eyebrows.
"I'm Yue Yin. Yue Xin, my mother, is no longer here. She passed 900 years ago…" The woman responded in a low voice.
"..."
The room turned silent for a long moment before Feng Yuxiang broke the silence and spoke, "You have my condolences."
"I heard a lot about you from my mother, Benefactor Feng. You saved my mother when she was attacked by a powerful magical beast, and you even helped the Moonlight Brokers flourish. On her deathbed, my mother told me to repay her debt to you since she was never able to." Yue Yin said.
"You don't need to repay any debts. It has been thousands of years since I left this place, and all of Yue Xin's debt has already been paid."
"What? Then why did she tell me to…"
"Don't think too much about it. Anyways, I am here today with my Young Master to buy some information." Feng Yuxiang gestured for Yue Yin to take a seat.
After a moment of silence, Yue Yin took a seat before them and spoke, "What do you want to know? Don't worry about the payment. You have already contributed enough to the Moonlight Brokers with your generous donations before."
Feng Yuxiang nodded and spoke, "First of all, do you have any information on the Pill of Truth? We're looking for it."
"Pill of Truth? Something that precious won't exist in this world— at least I'm not aware of it." Yue Yin shook her head.
"However, I will have my people look deeper into it just in case. You should have a real response by the end of the day."
Feng Yuxiang nodded, and she continued, "As for my next request… I want to know where I can find Jia Chong."
"Jia Chong… The Wandering Array Master…?" Yue Yin held a complicated look on her face as she spoke.
"Yes." Feng Yuxiang calmly nodded.
Yue Yin sighed, "I knew things wouldn't be easy with you, but to think you want to look for Jia Chong… Do you know what happened the last time I sold information on his whereabouts? He slaughtered the people that went looking for him and destroyed nearly half of my city."
"Although Jia Chong is, without a doubt, the best Array Master in Spirit Heaven, he's also crazy. He believes that all of his encounters should be natural, and anybody that purposefully seeks out for him is trying to mess with his flow of nature— whatever that means."
Feng Yuxiang showed a confident smile on her face as she spoke, "Don't worry, I can guarantee you that he won't do anything to us."
"What about my city? He said that he'd completely erase this city if we sell him again…" Yue Yin sighed.
"We won't tell him that we found him through the Moonlight Brokers, so he won't do anything to you guys. If he does show up, you can simply deny it."
After spending many moments pondering her answer, Yue Yin finally came to a conclusion.
"Alright, we'll tell you about his whereabouts. However, the location itself is also quite dangerous. It's a place only someone insane like Jia Chong would dare traverse."
"There's only one place in Spirit Heaven that could be considered 'quite dangerous'…" Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a low voice.
"It's the Demons' Valley." Yue Yin said, confirming Feng Yuxiang's thoughts.
"D-Demons' Valley?!" Yuan exclaimed when he heard such an ominous name.
"Are there demons in this place?!" He quickly asked.
Yue Yin chuckled at Yuan's question and shook her head, "Of course not. Demons no longer exist. However, the Demons' Valley has a polluted environment that can cause people to go insane if they stay in there for too long, and the magical beasts in there are much more powerful than the ones you find everywhere else in Spirit Heaven."
"I see…"
Yue Yin then continued, "I don't know of his exact location, but I do know that he's currently in Demons' Valley."
"If you want to find him, you should go there as soon as possible since I don't know when he'll leave, but then again, he's been in that place for over a year already, way longer than he usually stays in one place."
"Thank you for the information." Feng Yuxiang said, and she turned to look at Yuan.
"What do you think, Young Master? Do you want to go now or later?"
Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Let's go after my examination in a few days. After that, we'll have an entire week to look for Jia Chong in Demons' Valley."
