Soaring of Galaxia

Although the night was dark, to a prosperous capital city, the indulgent night life had just begun.

Qin Wushuang and his two friends also arrived on the streets.

At the Orderly Mountain capital city, there were always three to four places bustling with activities regardless of day or night. Among them, the Freelance Martial Artist Union was one of them.

In the Xuan Yuan Mound, despite the large number of sects and each place having complicated powerhouses, the number of martial artists were limited.

In the Xuan Yuan Mound, perhaps, one could calculate the number of martial artist within billions. However, among these freelance martial artists, less than thirty percent of them belonged to a sect or organization.

Besides them, even if they were to form groups of two or three, they were still freelancers. Freelance martial artists did not have the support of the sect nor a fixed territory. Compared to those who belonged to a sect, to a great extent, freelance martial artists were at a disadvantage.

However, only a few martial artists were born with a golden spoon in their mouths and had the support of a sect. In the Tian Xuan Land, the number of freelance martial artists was always the greatest.

Thus, at any place, even at a little county, it would be bustling with lively activities as long as there were freelance martial artists.

At this moment, the Freelance Martial Artist Union of the Orderly Mountain capital city was also lively.

As soon as Qin Wushuang and his two buddy approached the door, they were welcomed by a warm-hearted butler: "You three, are you here to sign up?"

"Sign up?" Bao Bao was stunned.

That butler smiled and said: "So you three don’t know yet? A lot of missions have recently popped up here at our Vermillion Bird southern nine desolate prefectures. In these past few days, the number of freelance martial artists who come here to sign up have almost broken our doorstep. I thought you three had also come for these missions."

Of course, these butlers had their reason for being extra enthusiastic. When one person signed up, they would be required to pay a registration fee. Whoever served them, they would get a commission from this registration fee.

If they completed the mission, the commission taken by the union would also reward the butler who had received the person.

Thus, the butlers on duty would not hold back on their recruitment of people.

Qin Wushuang said with a smile: "What sort of missions are there? If it’s attractive, of course the three of us would consider it."

When that butler saw that these three were prospective customers, he welcomed Qin Wushuang with a beaming smile. While he prepared the snacks and drinks, he introduced: "Recently, the most popular mission, of course, targets the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. However, usually such mission requires a major figure to organize."

Qin Wushuang waved his hand: "We are not interested in this mission. Is there anything else?"

"Of course, there is one mission that has gained popularity. It is the second class assassination bounty issued by the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect with eighty thousand gold crystal stones as the reward. The bounty requires you to kill a young man named Qin Wushuang."

That butler explained with smiles of exultations: "If you register here, you can receive the most reliable and timely resources and inside information. Only, these information and resources are extremely confidential. Thus, the registration fee is relatively pricey. However, it’s definitely worth the money."

Both Bao Bao and Lone wore a faint smile. Yet Qin Wushuang treated it seriously: "How much is the registration fee?"

"It’s not much, for you three, each would pay one hundred gold crystal stones."

As soon as Bao Bao heard these words, he raised his eyebrows and slapped the table: "Hey, you think we are rich? The three of us would pay one hundred gold crystal stones per person? Wouldn’t it be enough for one of us to pay?"

That butler chuckled and smiled apologetically: "It seems that you three know what is going on. To tell you the truth, this mission has gained incredible popularity recently and a lot of people have signed up. They all want to get first hand information from us. You must know that the information is not given by the one who issued this mission, but collected by the union. Definitely, it’s first hand and top secret."

"The hell with top secrets!"

Butler’s non-stopping introduction had unexpectedly provoked a freelance martial artist on the side. This person swore: "I thought it was truly top secret information, but it’s all darn common information. And you dared to call it top secret. Pah! I say, you three don’t believe his broken mouth. For sure your hundred gold crystal stones will be wasted! If you can truly take care of that human boy, where else can you not honor the rewards! They are wearing sheep skins to sell dog meat, claiming to sell first rate information, in fact they are just using missions to collect and scam money!"

That butler shot an embarrassed glance at that person, yet he did not become angry. After all, this person was not speaking lies. Indeed, the information provided by them was not some highly confidential information.

Qin Wushuang smiled lightly at that freelance martial artist: "Thank you for reminding us, Brother. Let us treat you today."

That person waved his hand casually: "Nah, no need for a reward if it’s not deserved. I don’t take advantage of other people."

"May I ask your surname?" Qin Wushuang cupped his hand into a salute and asked.

That person was dressed in a full length black robe with pieces of snowflakes decorated on it. His grave and resolute face seemed like a piece of sharp blade that would not allow anyone to come closer.

When one looked from afar, he would give the feel of rejecting people from thousand miles away.

That person gave a cold sneer and only shot a glance at Qin Wushuang without answering. However, this glance had carried through like the sharp blade. If it wasn’t for Qin Wushuang’s strong aura, ordinary people would shiver in cold by this glance.

Bao Bao twitched his mouth: "Boss, we are not afraid of having nowhere to spend our money. We should rather treat ourselves to drinks than treating others."

Initially, Qin Wushuang wanted to speak. However, glancing to the side, he saw a quiet figure sit there at the corner of the right side. That person wore a casual smile and drank by himself. Although he was at a remote corner, he still appeared like a crane among a flock of chicken.

When that person’s gaze clashed with Qin Wushuang, he smiled lightly.

Qin Wushuang felt extremely surprised as he also nodded at that person. This guy was Jiu Fang Feiyun, the most exceptional young man of the Jiu Fang Clan. He had disappeared without a trace after the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had defeated Chen Sen in that major battle. He had not celebrated with the Qin Clan.

Qin Wushuang had felt somewhat disappointed over this matter. He was deeply convinced by the temperament of Jiu Fang Feiyun and had always wanted to chat with this exceptional young man. Unexpectedly, he had met this young man again today.

"It’s him?" Bao Bao and Lone were slightly surprised.

"Don’t speak first." Qin Wushuang shoot a glance at Bao Bao and send his voice into their head.

With a lot of eyes and ears here, Qin Wushuang was afraid that someone might recognize Jiu Fang Feiyun and bring unnecessary troubles. After all, many people had witnessed when Jiu Fang Feiyun saved Qin Zhao at the Black Raven royal city.

After the drinks were poured, Qin Wushuang had just brought a cup to his mouth. Suddenly, a person ran from outside the hall and yelled: "Good news, great news! Top secret news!"

"Iron Holler? You have sold information your entire life, when the hell have you ever brought true top secret news?"

Apparently, many people recognised this freelance martial artist at this Freelance Martial Artist Union.

This person had a unique appearance and could be best described with the words "Crafty Looking." This person’s nickname was "Iron Holler" for he wandered around the Orderly Mountain prefecture and made a living by selling information. Since this guy was born with a good voice and excelled at spreading gossip, little news, people nicknamed him "Iron Holler."

However, the information from this person was not easy to accept regarding its veracity. Sometimes it may be genuine, and sometimes fake.

This Iron Holler twisted his brows and rolled his eyes. Then, he chuckled: "This time, it’s for sure the first hand top secret news."

"Who would believe you, just you can get the first hand news?"

’Ha ha, it’s your choice to believe it. I didn’t plan to sell it to you. Hey..." This Iron Holler grabbed a union butler next to him: "Butler Wang, if I sell this information to your union, it would be worth it! Once you guys package it up, the value would rise ten times more. For this business, we are both winners."

Apparently, that Butler Wang did not find Iron Holler trustworthy. He was half believing and half suspicious: "Iron Holler, the union cannot play with you. If you truly have top secret information, we can pay. But, if you are spreading rumors, you will pay for it."

Iron Holler smiled apologetically: "How could I, Butler Wang? In order to survive at the Orderly Mountain prefecture, how could I trick you guys?"

Butler Wang rolled his eyes: "How much?"

Iron Holler had gained interest and counted with his fingers: "Honestly, I dug up this information in a way all of you would have never expected. Behind this news, there is also my exclusive personal analysis and the most important inside story."

"Ok, stop!" Butler Wang immediately refused him: "I am not interested at all in your so-called exclusive inside-story! You can sell this information to whoever you want, the union has no use for it."

"No, Butler Wang!" Iron Holler became anxious, "Don’t be so absolute. My analysis was built on reason, facts and evidence! Even if you don’t buy the second part of my information, the first one is truly genuine and does not have a single fake word in it!"

Butler Wang only sneered as he did not believe him at all.

Iron Holler cried out: "Everyone, everyone, whom among you knows the value? Let me say it beforehand, my information is related to that mission issued by the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect! This information is definitely top secret exclusive. If it’s out of date, I will say nothing if you guys kill me on the spot!"

Even Qin Wushuang put down his cup and looked at this Iron Holler.

"It’s absolutely the truth. I have spent thousands of gold crystal stones to dig up this news. Without two thousand gold crystal stones, I will not sell this information!"

"Is the information you talked about related to that Qin Wushuang from the human countries?" An emotionless voice sounded from out of the door. Although this voice sounded indifferent, it was filled with the bearing of a monarch. One could not help but shiver inwardly when they heard him.

Iron Holler answered: "That’s right."

"Ok, I will buy it. This is thirty green crystal stones, the extra are your rewards."

Next, an object was thrown in here that appeared to be a brocade purse. When he opened it, indeed, there were thirty resplendent green crystal stones. Thirty green crystal stones worth three thousand gold crystal stones. It was a thousand crystals more than the price Iron Holler had asked!
