The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 591 - 588: An Ambiguous Meeting

After several guests had responded, the incense burner remained there.

"Lord Dominator, please step forward."

Xin Lin moved forward and threw a slip of paper with her "name" into the burner.

A burst of flame shot up, and within the fire, the slip of paper faintly appeared.

After a moment, a slip of paper was ejected from the burner.

Just one?

Xin Lin was somewhat astonished.

Jiang Qing was slightly taken aback.

He said somewhat awkwardly,

"Lord Dominator, it seems the request you issued earlier encountered some difficulties. Inside Purple Cloud City, there seems to be only one mercenary army that can take it."

Xin Lin also smiled.

It wasn’t an official request anyway; she was simply asking for information on the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg Shell.

Just one knew about it?

But, something is better than nothing.

Xin Lin opened the slip of paper.

Upon inspecting it, Xin Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Lord Dominator, is the result not as satisfactory as expected?"

Jiang Qing asked cautiously.

"The result isn’t particularly good or bad; regardless, thank you, Master Jiang."

Xin Lin put the slip of paper away.

On the slip, there was only one reply from a mercenary group called "Holy Hall."

Their leader stated that he knew the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg Shell, but to find out, the client must go to Taoyao Pavilion to meet him in person.

Xin Lin had heard of such situations before.

Some mercenaries would impose additional conditions, seeking compensation beyond money and Qi Stones; evidently, "Holy Hall" was among those.

Xin Lin noted the date; it was three days later.

It looked like she had to make a trip.

However, the meeting at Taoyao Pavilion rather reassured Xin Lin, as strictly speaking, that place was technically her territory.

Having received the information, Xin Lin bid farewell to Jiang Qing.

She returned to Qingtian Academy, and the remaining days passed without incident.

Master Mo’s practical skills were quite remarkable this time; she utilized two free laborers, Chu Beiqing and Lu Yuan, to quickly dig a pond in front of the School Clinic.

She brought in some lotus roots and, following Xin Lin’s instructions, planted them one by one; as for the fish fry, she mentioned that someone would deliver them the day after tomorrow.

Xin Lin lingered by the pond, and while Master Mo was not paying attention, she poured a bottle of Jade Pure Spring water into the pond.

The spring water blended into the pond, which was clear and seemingly normal.

"It’s already autumn, and you’re planting lotus. Are you foolish or just plain stupid?"

From inside the School Clinic, a voice mixed with mockery and ridicule could be heard.

Xin Lin didn’t need to look to know it was Mu Chen.

That guy, taking advantage of the pretext to recuperate, had already been lingering in the School Clinic for several days.

Considering the gold involved, Xin Lin endured it.

However, it must be said that Mu Chen’s recovery abilities were quite impressive.

In a few days, his completely shattered bones had healed, and thanks to the good food at the Medical Hall, he had even grown a bit plump and pale.

If not for urgent matters, Mu Chen really wouldn’t want to leave the School Clinic.

Seeing that Xin Lin was ignoring him, Mu Chen felt bored and was contemplating how to indirectly inquire about some news about the Corpse King.

"Handsome leader, you’re leaving? Why not stay a few more days?"

Master Mo approached, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Hehe, I wish I could. But Qingtian Academy needs me. I just got a message from the Spirit Institute Director; a team of students went on an assignment outside and encountered danger, possibly life-threatening, so I need to hurry and rescue them."

Mu Chen sighed.
