Creak.....
The door to the private room opened slowly. And a young man who looked to be about 21 or 22 entered the private room.
Seeing that young man, Ren Wei smiled lightly.
"You are here." He said.
The young man smiled back and greeted. "Yes, boss."
It was Nan Chen, the first leader of the South Wind Pavillion and also the eldest of the Nan Brothers.
After the Nan Brothers left and went to the Hundred Flower City, they established a restaurant in the city. At first, it was just a small one.
By day by day, their restaurant started booming. And one of the key factor it brought to them was collection of information. With hundreds of people attending the restaurant everyday, information were meant to be leak.
"Humm.. Take a sit." Ren Wei nodded and gestured Nan Chen to sit in front of him.
As he sat down, a waiter came and delivered the dishes that Ren Wei ordered.
"Have a test of our restaurant's flavor, boss." Nan Chen politely said.
Nodding, Ren Wei started testing the dishes one by one. For every dishes he tested, he would node and say. "Good."
Nan Chen smiled and listened and Ren Wei continued testing the dishes.
After finally testing all the dishes, Ren Wei looked back up and started talking.
"Haha, look at you now all grown up and powerful. It was just like yesterday when you five brothers were just at the roadside, shivering in the cold winter wind. And now, you are already a powerful cultivator at the Dharma Phantom Realm."
"Huh...., it's true what they sayy. Time does fly." Ren Wei lamented.
"Haha, it's nothing compares to our boss. You are the almighty powerful one in our eyes." Nan Chen responded lightly, smiling.
"How are you and you brothers? I hope you guys are still living the dream, happy and warm." Ren Wei asked, like a father asking how his sons was doing.
"Its been good. The face hasn't been cruel to us yet." Nan Chen answered in a somewhat grateful tone. The reason why he said yet was because he knew no one can live without experiencing pain and suffering from time to time.
"I hope so." Ren Wei also prayed. "What about the others. Where are they right now?"
"I am the only one here. As I am one responsible for this city. They are also the same as me, handling other cities." Nan Chen replied.
"Good. Good."
"Its been a long time since I get to eat with you guys. Come, have this dishes with me together." Ren Wei smiled and said.
Nan Chen didn't shy away from the invitation, like father and son eating together after a long time. Both Ren Wei and Nan Chen had the food together.
From time to time, they would talk about the past and reminisced about it. Sometimes talking about the struggles they suffered when they were training under Ren Wei. Sometimes talking about the good times, like fishing together.
As the two continued talking, time passed by quickly. It was already the end of the noon by the time they finished catching up.
Finally, after a servant came and cleaned up the place, Ren Wei went to the important topic.
"I believe you know the reason why I am here." Ren Wei said to Nan Chen.
Upon hearing that, Nan Chen faced turned serious and replied. "Yes."
Then, he took out a scroll from his spatial ring.
Whoosh..
He carefully placed it on the table.
Looking at the scroll, Ren Wei saw the seal was still there, which indicated that the Nan Brothers didn't even try to peek into his things.
He heard him continued saying. "This scroll arrived a few days ago. City lord Wang Lin also mentioned that all the things he knows of is in the scroll. If boss want to dig further, heading to the capital city would be the most appropriate choice."
Ren Wei slightly nodded. Then, he asked again. "What about the other thing I told you to investigate?"
"About the Blood Mist Hall, it's seems like they are at war with Spirit Beast Mountain. And from what I heard it started about 4 to 5 years ago and it is still going on with no signs of being stopping soon."
'So, that's why they never sent someone to investigate the dead of Yu Yi.' After hearing the reason, Ren Wei finally understood why the Blood Mist Hall didn't send any to investigate the dead of their second young master.
"You can leave now." Ren Wei instructed to Nan Chen as he reached out and grabbed the scroll from the table. It wasn't not he didn't want Nan Chen to see the information inside. It was simply because Nan Chen didn't need the information at all.
"Yes." Nan Chen stood and after giving a final bow, he left the room.
After the door closed, Ren Wei took a breath and slowly opened the scroll.
Inside the scroll, he saw a bunch of information written on it neatly. Not only that, the writing was also in formal type.
Ren Wei intently read what was written on the scroll. It was his clue to finding his children.
For 5 minutes straight, Ren Wei focused reading.
And when he was done, he finally understood.
From what he read, the information about Heavenly Sword Domain was vague. About 95% of the people in the capital city doesn't know anything about it. And outside the capital city, it was hopeless.
Using his father's connection, Wang Lin finally got some news about it. The Qin family of capital city.
Now, the only thing Ren Wei needed to do was simply extract the information from Qin family. But there was a problem. The Qin family was the royal family controlling the whole Red Lion Kingdom.
Even with Ren Wei's Divine Domain Realm, it would be difficult to do that.
But, that didn't diminished the spirit of Ren Wei. Now, after searching for years, he finally found a clue to his children's whereabouts. He was not going to stop just because of the Qin family.
However, he still needed to find a way.
After thinking for a moment, he called Nan Chen again.
When Nan Chen arrived, he didn't beat around the bush. He asked directly. "What do you know about the Qin Royal Family? Tell me everything."
"The royal family! This... I don't know much." Nan Chen replied.
"Just tell me what you know." Ren Wei didn't mind that he didn't know much.
"... from what I have heard, the Qin family is the most powerful force in our Red Lion Kingdom. Even those sects can't not interfere with their decisions."
"Like the four great clans of the capital city, Ye, Si, He and Ding, that has a Divine Domain Realm expert holding down the fort. The Qin family also has Divine Domain Realm expert. Except, unlike the four great clans that only has one Divine Domain Realm, the Qin family has 4 Divine Domain Realm experts."
"And that is also the main reason why they are the most dominant force."
"Other than this things, I don't know."
'4 Divine Domain Realm experts. Looks like sneaking is out of option.' The number quite surprised Ren Wei.
He expected the Qin family to have Divine Domain Realm, but only like one or two, not four.
Tapping his finger and the table, he thought for a way.
He could directly go to them and ask for the way to Heavenly Sword Domain. But he didn't know their attitude. So, simply going with open heart was not a good thing. He first needed to check whether it would be safe or not.
He looked and said. "Chen, do you know any way that I can enter the royal family. Like ....anything."
"This..." The question caught Nan Chen off gaurd.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. Just a few seconds later, he eyes lit up.
He turned to Ren Wei and said. "Boss, there is a way. I don't know if boss wants it or not-"
Ren Wei cut him off and said quickly. "Just tell me the way."
"Ohh.. it is said that the 3rd princess of the Qin family is looking for a teacher to teach her the way of cultivation properly." Nan Chen said.
"What!? Looking for someone to teach her the way of cultivation. Didn't you say the Qin family has 4 Divine Domain Realm experts? Why would the daughter of such family need some outsider to teach her the way of cultivation. Are you kidding me or is your brain dead." Ren Wei didn't expect that kind of information. So, he scolded Nan Chen for being stupid, that listens to every kind of nonsense.
Like Nan Chen expected that Ren Wei would react that way. He smiled mysteriously and explained. "Haha, boss don't worry, it's true. The reason behind is that the 3rd princess was born with a rare ice type physique, the 'Frostjade Lotus Body'."
"Due to the rare and uniqueness of this physique, the Qin family doesn't have the proper cultivation techniques for 3rd princess to embark on the path of cultivation."
"They even collected some powerful ice techniques, but all of that was not compatible with her."
"Im the end, the Qin family decided to come out in the open and announced that they are looking for someone that can guide the princess to the path cultivation or anyone who has a ice technique that is compatible with the 3rd princess."
"And the reward for that is huge too."
"How is boss? Maybe you can try it?"
"Humm... looking for an ice technique or a teacher.." Ren Wei was a bit skeptical about it. And even if the information was true, he didn't know if his technique was even compatible with the princess's physique.
'It looks like this is the only way for the time being.'
