Chapter 3168 — Just Happened to Meet
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Naturally, Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing did not know the members of the Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect's intelligence team—these people handled intelligence work, never showing their faces in public, much less letting anyone learn their identities. But that did not mean the intelligence team did not recognize Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing!
Every person of consequence on the ancient level had been recorded by the Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect's intelligence team, and their features were silently etched into the minds of every member. So the moment the two appeared at the hotel entrance, the head of the intelligence team, Feng Shengniao, took note of them.
After Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing had checked in, Feng Shengniao noted their room numbers, and only then did everyone get on the elevator together. The rooms for Feng Shengniao and the others had been booked the day before by Ancestor Gloom. The reason he waited to go upstairs with Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing was precisely that he wanted to hear what the two of them might say.
Once inside the elevator, Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing spoke without any particular discretion—after all, they did not for a moment believe there was anyone in the secular world who could shake them, and besides, outsiders could make no sense of what they said anyway.
"Wei Zhao lives near here?" Ancestor Pure Yin asked.
"Yes, in a villa not far from here," Dongfang Yinxing said. "Shall we rest a while before heading over, or go tonight?"
"Let's go tonight," Ancestor Pure Yin said after a moment's thought. "The sooner the better. Once it's done, we leave."
"That works too," Dongfang Yinxing nodded.
Their conversation sounded for all the world like two men planning to call on a friend. Had it not fallen on Feng Shengniao's ears, anyone else would never have paid it the slightest attention—but Feng Shengniao felt a chill in his heart!
Two titans at the peak of the late Heaven Tier had come here—could it be to deal with Wei Zhao? After all, the intelligence team had already received word that the Dongfang family and the Mingri Fu Mingri sect were at odds. With these two coming to find Wei Zhao at the same time, Feng Shengniao did not think it boded well!
Moreover, from what they said, they meant to leave soon after finishing their business. For experts of the ancient level, what business could be finished so quickly except killing?
On the surface, however, Feng Shengniao betrayed nothing. Years of intelligence work had long since taught him to keep his emotions off his face. So, at least outwardly, from the moment he stepped onto the elevator, Feng Shengniao was absorbed in playing with his phone, paying Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing no attention whatsoever.
When the elevator reached Feng Shengniao's floor, he still paid Ancestor Pure Yin and Dongfang Yinxing no mind. He simply led his two subordinates out of the elevator and, without so much as a backward glance, headed toward where Ancestor Huangquan and the others were.
Arriving at the door of the room where Ancestor Huangquan, Ancestor Blood-Robe, and Ancestor Gloom were staying, Feng Shengniao knocked.
"Who is it?" From inside came Ancestor Gloom's voice.
"Mr. Yin, it's me, Feng Sheng," Feng Shengniao said. Outside, he addressed Ancestor Gloom as Mr. Yin, Ancestor Huangquan as Mr. Huang, and Ancestor Blood-Robe as Mr. Xue—a measure to avoid unnecessary trouble, for constantly calling them "Ancestor" this and "Ancestor" that would seem rather odd in modern society.
