Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Gaining Fame and Moving Stealthily (Three Chapters Combined)
"The president of the Anti-Clearing Association?"
With curiosity in his heart, Lin Xing left the base of the Anti-Clearing Association.
"Meeting this president, I should be able to learn more about the Taiqing Sect."
"The road ahead will become increasingly dangerous..."
The thought made Lin Xing feel an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
Looking back on his own experiences of repeated fighting after time reversals, he was like a warrior who had wandered the battlefield for years, constantly creating repetitive carnage on the path of immortality.
He had grown more and more accustomed to this state, even beginning to look forward to those fresher dangers.
Sometimes Lin Xing thought that if it wasn’t for the multiple time reversals affecting his memory and hindering his daily life, he might have already become addicted to it.
"I must be wary of this change."
Lin Xing silently admonished himself in his heart, "Time reversal cannot become my indiscriminate baseline, I am a law-abiding citizen, not a madman from Mirror World, I never kill people for no reason..."
As he passed near the Taiqing Sect, Lin Xing could hear bursts of voices coming from afar, obviously emanating from the martial arts competition there.
"I wonder how Master Bai is doing."
That afternoon, Lin Xing was practicing spiritual vision in the inn and through several walls, he saw from afar Puppet Girl and Zhao Wanxi walking back to the inn.
"Grandmaster, you were amazing today, you won all five matches in seconds!"
"At first, they looked down on you, but in the end, their eyes were almost popping out when you left!"
Puppet Girl’s cool voice carried over, "Keep it low profile, remember to keep it low profile. Did you place the bet on my win like I told you?"
Zhao Wanxi excitedly said, "I did, I did, made a good amount this time!"
Puppet Girl’s voice remained calm and cool, "Bet like I told you tomorrow too, win some, lose some, anyway we make money either way."
Zhao Wanxi confusedly asked, "Grandmaster, are you planning to intentionally lose?"
Puppet Girl lowered her voice and spoke, "Losing one or two matches tomorrow won’t affect the advancement, can’t really antagonize Silver. Don’t worry, with my extraordinary wisdom, no one will be able to tell I’m faking it."
"Right, don’t talk about this once we’re in the room."
Zhao Wanxi quietly asked, "Should we hide it from my senior brother?"
Puppet Girl explained, "Your senior brother is not very clear-headed, he might start bickering if he hears about us doing this, which is really annoying."
"Just casually mention my performance today when you go in."
"Don’t overdo it, just tell the truth."
As the door opened, Lin Xing glanced at the two entering the room and casually asked, "Master Bai, did the competition go smoothly?"
The cat doll looked at Zhao Wanxi beside it, thinking inwardly, "Hurry up and sing my praises, let Lin Xing know how formidable his master is."
On the other side, Zhao Wanxi said, "The grandmaster was really impressive today..."
Listening to Zhao Wanxi’s praise, Puppet Girl blandly said, "Ahh, they are just juniors, not worth mentioning."
Moments later, leaving behind the excited Bai Yiyi and Zhao Wanxi to discuss tomorrow’s martial arts competition, Lin Xing left the inn with a piece of paper in hand, looking for an address within Qingtian City.
Eventually, in an area densely packed with low-rise buildings, he found the place.
The streets on either side looked crooked and skewed, the unattractive low-rise buildings squeezed together, occupying every inch of space around.
Lin Xing entered a two-story building, hearing various noises from each room on the first floor.
He went to the second floor and knocked on a room door; moments later, a woman’s head protruded from behind the door.
Ling Yufen was momentarily stunned, then smiled happily, "Are you here for some information again?"
The woman in front of him was precisely the Taiqing Sect disciple Lin Xing had previously sought, and he had come following the address she had given to seek some intelligence.
Primarily about the specific details of the Taiqing Sect’s memory trading, particularly some of the safety issues, which the Anti-Clearing Association also knew little about.
But Lin Xing at the Anti-Clearing Association had learned another piece of information, that a part of the Taiqing Sect’s disciples were qualified to trade memories.
Lin Xing thought that even if Ling Yufen didn’t know the inside scoop, she could introduce him to more senior disciples.
Peering through the door crack, Lin Xing saw the cramped conditions inside and was surprised, "You live here? Not inside the Taiqing Sect?"
"Just wait for me for a moment." Ling Yufen closed the door, and then sounds of footsteps and searching for things and changing clothes ensued.
The door opened again, and she emerged, dressed in the Taiqing Sect disciple’s attire, and promptly closed the door behind her.
"It’s too noisy here, let’s go to the teahouse across the street to talk."
Along the way, Ling Yufen also answered Lin Xing’s questions, "The sleeping quarters inside the gate are too expensive, costing 80 silvers a month; you see, I rent a room here for only 10 silvers a month."
Lin Xing, having spent quite some time in Mirror World and traveled extensively from south to north, had some understanding of the prices in various places.
Hearing this price, he was also a bit surprised, "10 silvers a month? For such a small place? That’s not cheap."
Ling Yufen chuckled, "This is Qingtian City, just the fact that you don’t have to worry about warlords fighting here brings so many people fleeing here every year. Not to mention all those who come here wanting to learn martial arts each year."
"Even a 10-silver room took me half a month to find."
