Chapter 757 Unexpected Discovery
Han Yang stared at Yun Xi, whose face had changed, forgetting to even fan himself with his folding fan, and said with a lovesick expression:
"Your face is so beautiful!"

Yunxi's eyes sparkled, and she spoke softly and playfully:

"Which of my faces isn't beautiful?"

"Hehe! They're all beautiful! They're all beautiful!"

Han Yang immediately responded in agreement.

"I specially changed into this robe to match your style. What do you think?"

After Yunxi finished speaking, she turned around and showed off her new robes.

Han Yang praised without reservation:
"That would be a perfect match."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other and went to the agreed meeting place.

At this moment, not only the two senior sisters Min Yue and Shuo Yue were waiting to buy information, but also Zuo Qiuliang and Ji Yaya. After seeing the two of them arrive together, the four of them did not show their true feelings, but each had their own thoughts.

Han Yang immediately told Yun Xi that Ji Ya Ya was the only daughter of Ji Yun Cheng, which made the two of them even more certain of their previous speculation. It seems that Ji Yun Cheng and the Moon Gate do have some connection in private. It is just unknown what the Moon Gate's attitude will be after they learn that Ji Yun Cheng's secret treasure has been lost.

The moment Zuo Qiuliang saw Yun Xi, he immediately became extremely vigilant. Although she had a very deceptive face, he sensed a threat from her every move.

After exchanging glances with the four, Yunxi immediately locked onto Zuoqiu Liang, as he was the only demonic cultivator among them whose strength was comparable to hers. She even smiled, which was considered a greeting to him.

After everyone was seated, Han Yang cupped his hands and said:

"I apologize for being a little late. The people here are all here to buy firsthand information about the Ninja Clan. In order to avoid ruining my reputation as an 'informer,' I have gathered you all together. The highest bidder wins."

This was something the two had agreed upon on their way to meet. Han Yang's information could fetch a good price, and it would also give Yun Xi a reasonable excuse to appear in front of everyone.

Zuoqiu Liang cupped his hands to Yunxi and said:
"I am Zuoqiu Liang of the Moon Gate. May I ask who you are, and what brings you to us with this information about the Ninja Clan?"

Yunxi held a pink begonia-patterned fan in her hand, her bright eyes darting around as she said:

"I am Murong Yunyu, a guest elder of the Heavenly Demon Palace. I have come to the Ninja Sect for a private matter."

She didn't say much more. It was the first time they had met, and when she said it was a private matter, she was clearly telling the other person not to pry.

Min Yue, Shuo Yue, and Ji Ya Ya didn't speak. They dared not be presumptuous in front of the Integration Venerable. If it weren't for Senior Brother Zuo Qiu Liang supporting them, they probably wouldn't even have the right to sit at the table. The flamboyant male cultivator opposite them would definitely have sold the information directly to the guest elder of the Heavenly Demon Palace in front of them.

Upon hearing Yun Xi's revealed identity, Zuo Qiuliang sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected her to be just as strong as him, and even have such a powerful backer. So he cupped his hands and said:

"In that case, let's do as Fellow Daoist Hanyang said: the highest bidder will get the inside information."

"it is good."

Yunxi replied with only one word.

Han Yang then cleared his throat and fanned himself with his folding fan, saying:

"Because you are all investigating the location of the Ninja Clan's stronghold, and yesterday I received some new information about the Ninja Clan, these two pieces of information are somewhat related, so I have decided to sell them together. Now you can make your bids."

Yunxi gently raised her fan, signaling Zuoqiu Liang to make the first bid. Zuoqiu Liang quoted a price, and Yunxi followed suit with her bid. After three rounds, Yunxi frowned and indicated that she was giving up. In her words, it wasn't a matter of urgency, and there was no need to spend so many spirit stones.

In the end, Zuoqiu Liang and his three companions successfully obtained firsthand information about the Ninja Sect. After paying with magic stones, he took the message jade slip from Han Yang, read it, and then handed it to his junior sister with a blank expression.

The two women's expressions didn't change much after reading it, but Ji Yaya's expression wasn't well-controlled, revealing a hint of something.

Han Yang took his leave at the opportune moment, saying, "The transaction is complete. I won't stay any longer. If you wish to purchase any other information, please feel free to contact me at any time."

After saying that, he turned and left with a flourish.

Yunxi, however, was in no hurry to leave. Looking at the four people in front of her, she said:

"It seems the information you obtained is not good news."

Min Yue said with a smile:

"You flatter me, senior. There's no such thing as good or bad news; it's all about how we use it."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Yunxi, and prepared to leave. They needed to discuss their next steps.

Yunxi did not stop her, and sat steadily at the table, smiling as she said goodbye to Zuoqiu Liang.

After the four people disappeared, Yunxi called the waiter and had a table full of spiritual food served to her. Then she asked Lili and Diandian to come out and have a taste.

Lili held a piece of pastry and savored it, not forgetting to wag her tail and ask:

"Your Excellency, what do we do next?"

"The two female cultivators who were close to the Moon Gate."

Dian Dian ate very happily and didn't forget to chime in when she had a spare moment:
"Master, if you want to get closer to the cultivators of the Moon Gate, it would be best to make them owe you a favor, which would make it easier for you to infiltrate the Moon Gate and find a way to get your hands on the other half of the treasure?"

Yunxi replied with a mysterious smile:
"Not at all! As long as we get close to those two, we can get our hands on the Moon Gate's treasure."

After hearing this, Lili stopped eating the spiritual meal and immediately pressed for an answer:
"Your Majesty, what have you discovered?"

"The other half of the Moon Gate is on that female cultivator named Min Yue."

"what?"

"really?"

Dian Dian and Li Li spoke at the same time, both expressing their surprise.

To be honest, Yunxi was also quite surprised. She didn't expect the sect leader of the Moon Sect to be so generous as to place such a treasure on this female cultivator whose cultivation was inferior to Zuoqiu Liang's. And judging from the female cultivator's attitude, she didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the jade pendant hanging on her waist that symbolized her sect identity.

The moment Yunxi first saw the two of them, she noticed the jade pendant on Min Yue's waist. The pendant was circular, with a red moon inside. The inner and outer walls of the ring were engraved with array patterns, making it both a symbol of sect identity and a defensive magic weapon.

Because she had already made a contract with the other half of the portal, she knew the moment she saw the red moon that it was the other half's portal. That's why she acted so casually during the bidding and didn't care even though she didn't buy the information.

This also gave her a reason to follow the group. Since she couldn't get the information, she would follow the person who did. Although it was a bit far-fetched, Zuo Qiuliang's presence gave her a reason not to steal it, making it easier for her to get close to the group.

Dian Dian excitedly rubbed its paws together and said:
"Master, Didi couldn't smell the baby's scent just now!"

"What do you think that ring around the red moon is for? It's to conceal the treasure's scent. If you could smell it, wouldn't it have been discovered long ago?"

The reason you could smell the odor earlier was because the Ninja Clan cultivators weren't disguised and the Moon Gate was open, which is why you noticed the anomaly.

Now that they know Ji Yuncheng's treasure is missing, the Moon Gate will definitely be even more cautious.

Lili twitched her ears and said:
"Your Excellency, is the Moon Gate so cautious that it allowed our treasure to leave the sect?"
