My wife is a reborn big boss

The young woman's voice was calm: "Since it's a secret known only to the two of them, how did you find out?"

Wu Qiong was speechless for a moment. He couldn't very well say that he had seen the background setting in his previous life.

So he had a sudden inspiration and decided to shift the blame: "To my shame, I once had to make a living at Zhaixing Tower because I had no money for food."

"The Star-Picking Tower." Su Mubai mused, "The number one tower in the world, the strongest assassin organization."

"Excellent," Wu Qiong said proudly. "It is indeed the number one tower in the world, 'Star-Picking Tower.' We solemnly promise that we will never kill anyone by mistake, never kill an extra person, have a 100% mission completion rate, and offer fair prices to everyone, young and old. No matter who the target is, once we accept the mission, we will never raise the price!"

The young woman simply looked at him quietly without saying a word.

With no one to play along, Wu Qiong looked slightly embarrassed: "Ahem... well, I'm not a frontline assassin, I work on reforming systems."

"How should the assassin organization reform its system?" Su Mubai asked expressionlessly, her tone flat. But Wu Qiong could tell from her eyes that she was indeed somewhat interested in the Star-Picking Tower.

"Zhaixinglou originally served the high-end market, but after reaching a bottleneck, it began to move towards a more affordable model. However, the industry was extremely chaotic, with all sorts of shady characters running rampant. Some maliciously undercut prices to grab market share, others accepted orders but couldn't fulfill them, and some even took money and didn't deliver."

The market was already small, and they kept doing this. So I planned a cleanup operation aimed at eliminating this industry cancer and restoring order to the killer app world!

After eliminating a large number of unqualified and unscrupulous assassin organizations, Zhaixinglou recruited a large number of homeless assassins and provided them with unified training, a move that was widely praised by industry insiders.

Then came the internal restructuring.

The original system of the Star-Picking Tower was extremely unreasonable. Imagine if the other party wanted to kill a master of the Innate Realm, but only paid the price for a Body Tempering Realm expert. To ensure the mission was completed, given the information asymmetry, nearly ten assassins would have to be killed according to their cultivation level, from lowest to highest, including many masters at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm and those who had just entered the Innate Realm.

Of course, this example is rather extreme. According to my calculations, Zhaixinglou loses one or two assassins for every order they take on.

There aren't many assassins to begin with, and even fewer who can complete missions well. As a result, on average, two people die for every job. Who can stand that?

I suggested that you cooperate with MixC Mall.

The Myriad Phenomena Pavilion is a mysterious organization on par with the Star-Picking Pavilion.

All the world's intelligence can be found here, as long as you have money.

It is said that even the three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man of the Great Zhou government were jointly produced in cooperation with Wanxianglou.

Wu Qiong continued, "I don't know what kind of shady deal the Lord of Wanxiang Tower made with the Lord of Wanxiang Tower, but Wanxiang Tower opened all its confidential information to Zhaixing Tower. Zhaixing Tower assassins categorize the levels of information they can access based on their ranks."

Coincidentally, my level allows me to access some secret information about the leaders of various sects, including information about Abbot Xuankong and Master Ziyang.

The young girl suddenly asked, "Is the owner of the Star-Picking Tower male or female?"

"A man." Wu Qiong looked into Su Mubai's eyes and answered without hesitation.

His gaze was sincere and pure: "Xiaobai, you have to believe me."

Su Mubai's eyes sharpened.

The Star-Picking Tower is a very mysterious assassin organization. In her previous life, she had always lived peacefully with the Star-Picking Tower, and she didn't know whether the leader of the tower was male or female.

This wasn't important, but Wu Qiong's deception of her on such an unimportant matter revealed the nature of his relationship with the Master of the Star-Picking Tower...

There must be adultery involved!

It doesn't matter anymore, as long as I stay by his side. Neither Li Jianshi nor any other Tom, Dick, or Harry will stand a chance!

The matter was thus dropped.

The young girl asked, "What is the secret of Xuan Kong and Zi Yang?"

Wu Qiong glanced at Abbot Xuankong on the platform. Abbot Xuankong returned a smile, and Wu Qiong returned an awkward smile as well. Then he said in a low voice, "Abbot Xuankong and Master Ziyang have known each other for a long time."

Xiao Bai asked, puzzled, "So?"

"I mean, they knew each other before they became leaders of a sect, no... before they even joined the sect."

The young woman suddenly realized: "They've both fallen for the same woman."

Wu Qiong nodded: "If Xiao Fang, the future village beauty who is only six years old, can be considered a woman."

Xiao Bai continued to speculate: "The two of them have a grudge."

Wu Qiong shook his head: "They used to be from the same village. They were six years old that year. Everyone in the village died except for the two of them. Then two wise men who passed by took them away. One became a monk and the other became a Taoist priest."

"The person who wiped out their village is their common enemy, and they have been searching for that person."

Wu Qiong continued to shake his head: "No, everyone in the village died because of the plague. The two of them were lucky to survive."

Xiao Bai thought about it carefully, but still couldn't come up with an answer: "Then, what is the secret?"

Wu Qiong spoke furtively, his voice growing increasingly low: "Before becoming a monk, Master Ziyang's secular name was Sikong Tiezhu."

"..."

"Could it be that..."

Wu Qiong nodded sadly: "Abbot Xuan Kong's secular name was Ouyang Ergou."

"..."

"..."

The two fell into an inexplicable silence.

After a long silence, Xiaobai finally spoke: "How could this be..."

Wu Qiong chimed in: "A humble name is easier to raise. That's how everyone in the village is given a name. It's both reasonable and logical."

Xiao Bai's tone finally showed some emotion: "There's nothing wrong with Tie Zhu and Er Gou. The problem is why their names are preceded by Si Kong and Ou Yang."

"Perhaps their ancestors were from some reclusive family, and one of their ancestors disregarded his family's objections and resolutely married the daughter of a rival family, living in anonymity and content to be a farmer." Wu Qiong sighed, "Maybe that's just life."

"..." Su Mubai wanted to say something, but in the end he was speechless.

boom!

A loud bang brought the two back to their senses.

It turned out that while the two were discussing the secret, the competition between Jie Se and Ye Qingxuan had already begun.

"Little Bai, who do you think will win?" Wu Qiong whispered into Little Bai's ear.

The fair-skinned girl, her ears bright red, remained silent, watching the two engaged in combat, before coldly uttering two words: "Heh."

Although she didn't say it aloud, Wu Qiong understood what she meant:

"What's there to comment on when two chickens are pecking at each other?"
