He floated over.
Of course, he did not float toward those martial artists. Instead, he floated along the river to the two people standing by the river.
There was a sinister-looking middle-aged woman and a young man in his twenties.
At this moment, the two of them were looking at the place where the pleasure boat sank and talking in a low voice.
Luo Qingzhou saw that the young man’s body emitted a faint red glow. He seemed to be a martial artist, but he was probably only a beginner.
Moreover, judging from his expression, this young man had overly indulged in alcohol and other pleasures of the flesh, so his Qi and blood were severely depleted. The red glow on his body was only that of an ordinary man slightly stronger than the average male.
Luo Qingzhou approached from above and heard their conversation.
“Your younger sister was burned to death here. We can’t even find her ashes… Almost everyone on the boat escaped. Only those few died in the sea of fire. Clearly, something happened before the fire started…’
“Mother, what is going on? Why are you being so secretive? Did Zixi offend someone?”
The woman looked at the river and was silent for a while before sighing. “Forget it, it’s time to tell you. I need you to complete a mission tonight. You have to go personally.”
The young man immediately said, “Mother, feel free to instruct me.”
“We can’t be careless. According to the First Madam of the Chengguo Residence, the Qin residence values that scholar very much. Whenever he goes out, they might send guards to protect him. However, it’s not impossible for us to strike.”
The woman looked at the river and said expressionlessly, “First Madam said that there’s a little girl in the Chengguo Residence who has a good relationship with that scholar. We can make an issue out of this.’
The young man’s eyes lit up. He said in a low voice, “Mother, is that little girl…
beautiful?”
A fierce glint flashed across the woman’s eyes. She glared at him and said, “Why are you still thinking about those things at a time like this? Speaking of that, previously, when you went out of the city, you snatched a little girl. It’s fine if you played with her, but why did you have to throw her into the well?”
The young man hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, “She jumped in herself. It has nothing to do with me.”
The woman said darkly, “You have to remember this time. Put away those dirty thoughts and be 120% focused. As long as you do this well, your father will naturally look at you in a different light.”
The young man immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mother. I won’t let you down this time. By the way, did you say that you have a mission for me tonight?”
The woman pondered for a moment and looked a little hesitant. However, after a while, she seemed to have made a decision. She looked around and said in a low voice, “At midnight tonight, go to the back alley of the Qin residence and wait. The mole that we have planted in the Qin residence will be waiting. He will tell you about the business arrangements and other secrets of the Qin
residence. For security reasons, he won’t write them down on paper. He will
only pass them on verbally. These things are very important to us. You have to remember them word for word. Can you do that?”
The young man immediately sneered and said, “I thought it was something big. Is that all? Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll complete the mission tonight!”
The woman said solemnly, “You mustn’t let outsiders know about this. In addition, you must go alone. Don’t tell anyone where you are going. That person is very important. You must protect him so that his identity won’t be exposed. Also, there might be moles that the Qin residence also planted in our residence.. You must be careful…
