Chapter 392 - Sneak In II

Zhao Li Xin's carriage finally stops in one old grey stone building with a giant placard called 'Fuyun' it's a three-store restaurant, When the waiter saw Mong Yi he squint his eyes slightly then he approaches Zhao Li Xin carriage in hurry.

Mong Ki climbs down from the coach seat as he moves to the end of the carriage and opens the curtain, Zhao Li Xin who already in disguised as a middle-age man got out from the carriage, his ordinary appearance only make other people glance at him once.

Zhao Li Xin stretches his hand as a small hand clenched his hand, the passerby becomes curious when they see a woman hand but their excitement immediately dies down when they see Lory appearance, Lory averaged look make people sighs and look away as they continue with their business again.

Zhao Li Xin notices people's reaction with their disguised and he feel quite satisfied, maybe he will ask Lory to keep her disguised. Lory also delighted with other people reaction for a different reason, is a good thing when people don't pay attention to them because it would make easier for them to snooping around and search for information.

The waiter leads them inside, Lory surprised the restaurant is even bigger inside with old furniture and brown wooden pillar, the restaurant looks and feels old it lacked of luxury and extravagant ambiances like Phoenix hall restaurant or beauty and serene like Tan Cu Tea house, the guessed also not refined as other cit, although they dress nicely but their behavior is rouge and loud.

Lory didn't mind with their behavior because it reminds her of the hunter guild she used to visit once. the waiter takes them to the third floor in the private room, A fat burly man sits behind the large desk, his face looks mean with a faint scar on his left eyebrows to his left eye, thick mustache, and heavy beard.

He immediately raised from his seat and dash toward Zhao Yi Xin as he kneels on the floor while cupped his fist "Greetings Milord, Young Madam!" he said respectfully. Lory realizes her position as Zhao Li Xin's wife has been announced to all Hei Shen members.

Zhao Li Xin Help Lory to sit first then he takes a seat on the chair behind the desk, he leans his back and raised his hand lazily as a sign for the fat burly man to raised from the floor.

"Introduce yourself first..." Zhao Li Xin said lazily as he opens the scroll to read the written report. The fat burly maid nods his head, he already hears the rumor about Luo Ri Yi and how much his Lord dotted on his wife, an insider even spread the news about the importance to curry favor to the new young madam, when you infuriated the Lord only young madam could help you and this has been approved by the shadow guard Mong Liu and his brother when they failed to protect young madam.

The fat burly man cupped his fist in front of Lory "My name is Bu Gui, the young madam. for people known I'm the owner of the restaurant, I'm a Hei Shen under the Black turtle palace faction"

"How long You've been here?" Lory asked.

"Three years young Madam" he replied with the same politeness.

"Tell me what do you know about Sacred Mountain Peak society, how much influence they got in this country?" 

Bu Gui startled Lory want to get involved, he glances at Zhao Li Xin and his Lord nods his head faintly, Lory tilted her head with sweet smiles waiting for Bu Gui to report to her. meanwhile, Mong Yi brews 'Sun Citrus' tea for Lory as Bu Gui begins his report.

"Tang Shen City is naturally owned by Sacred Mountain Peak but of course is not official, but

the government from small soldier to the governor and family clan who rule this city is owned by Sacred Mountain Peak, they give tribute to them every year as a reward Sacred Mountain Peak will give them protection and accept their children as a disciple of Sacred Mountain Peak," said Bu Gui.

"What are the criteria to be accepted as a disciple?" her arms on the armchair withstand her head while Lory contemplating.

"It depends solely to how many attributes they could give but of course they make as if they choose them by talent, is already become a public secret that they need spend more money to make their child accepted"

"So, they dirty and corrupt....it will make our job easier" Lory pursed her lips with faint nods.

Mong Yi hand the warm teacup for Lory as he said "To enter the first layer didn't need much effort but to get the next level we need more than a money" 

Lory takes a sip of her tea, she smack her moist lips as she looks at Zhao Li Xin with a glint in her eyes "If we can find a talented man that make them eager to accepted, a man with amazing talent and deep pocket...what do you think?" Lory raised her eyebrows mischievously.

Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes as he understands what she wants to do "The skin mask will not works because they have a talisman to reveal any kind of disguised?"

"Any kind? even my kind of disguised?" Lory make cheeky smiles.

Zhao Li Xin's eyes widened then he chuckles "Well....maybe not every kind..."

"But there's a catch here" she narrowed her eyes.

"Hm?" he smiles in amused.

"I must stay close with you, so you must figure it out how to take me with you" 

"Oh, is it because you can't separate from me, or because u want to have fun?" Zhao Li Xin teased her as he knew his fearless wife have no sense of danger.

"Oh my, you don't believe me? I really want to help you!" she clenches her c.h.e.s.t as she pretends to be offended but then she smirks "And if I turn out having fun, that's not my fault..."

Zhao Li Xin stifles as he covers his mouth from laughing, Bu Gui dumbfounded because he never saw his Lord any other expression other than indifferent and furious, he was agape as he stares at Mong Ki and Mong Yi with 'Did you see that' expression.

Mong Yi and Mong Ki shrugged their shoulder casually as they used to their Lord's behavior around their young madam. Bu Gui then understand how high Lory position in his Lord's heart, no wonder all Hei Shen sect gives Lory high regards because she is the only one who can calm the 'Demon Lord'

"Then it settled then, we only need background story to accommodate us" Lory pinch her chin.

"I leave everything to you than my wife" Zhao Li Xin amicably said.

"Oh, how nice of you..."Lory's mouth twitches slightly, is Zhao Li Xin give her a job? oh well, she bored anyway so why not make the best of it. the impenetrable Sacred Mountain Peak? let's put their names on the test!
