Chapter 554: A Deal 2
Qi Qingyao felt an unusually unpleasant scent at the tip of her nose, which made her nose itchy. She sneezed and woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, bright light shined into them, making her close her eyes involuntarily for a while to get used to it.
When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was lying on a four-poster bed. She sat up and noted that her clothes were intact. Suddenly, without needing to turn her head, she sensed a strong gaze sweeping over from not far away. Qi Qingyao turned her neck stiffly.
She was in a very somber and luxurious room, furnished with quaint sculptures and vases of very unique colors.
They all looked very valuable.
There was a very long table in the room. The table was darkly lacquered with gold detailings.
On three of the four sides of the table sat three men who donned silver masks.
Qi Qingyao was stunned.
She quickly got off the bed and stood on the ground. Then she looked over and said with slight confusion,
“You guys are…”
Before her voice waned, the three silver-masked men introduced themselves.
“I am the Head of Wenchun Hall, Shan Qianjue.”
“I am the Head of Zhaixing Administration, Feng Wushe.”
“I am the Head of Wangyue Administration, Tan Xiangdie.”
“T-The Ghost Organization…”
Qi Qingyao could not help but be stunned.
Her face felt unobstructed when she opened her mouth, so she instinctively touched her face and realized that the human mask had already been taken off.
Oh well.
The other party had already confirmed her identity anyway.
She did not doubt the identities of these people at all. After that man from this morning left, a woman in black mysteriously approached her not long later, saying that she was from the Zhaixing Administration…and that they wanted to help her get out of her misery.
It was very reasonable to assume that she was looking at three genuine bigwigs of the Ghost Organization now!
Qi Qingyao did not dare to talk any nonsense. She ran over hurriedly and sat down at the last side of the table. Only then did she introduce herself a little nervously and embarrassedly.
“H-Hi, I’m Qi Qingyao.”
The three people on the other side looked at her silently.
As if observing.
Qi Qingyao knew who she was dealing with. Seeing that the other party did not speak, she let out a light cough, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup of tea. After downing it in one go, she licked her lips and said,
“I wonder what advice you great gods have for me after taking me captive?”
“Advice?” Shan Qianjue mulled on the word and turned to look at Jiang Yeqian.
Jiang Yeqian lowered his tone and said with a deep voice, “Wenchun Hall can help you with your situation.”
“But I didn’t ask you to help me.” Qi Qingyao shrugged and smiled shamelessly. “You had specially asked someone to let me know that you want to help me, so what are your intentions? In other words, you want something from me. You want me to pay a price.”
Shan Qianjue said coldly, “Why do you think you have something we want?”
Qi Qingyao paused, then she poured the tea again and said, “Huh? Could it be that I actually do have something you want?”
“…”
Shan Qianjue was silent for a moment before he said, “I enjoy talking to smart people.”
Qi Qingyao looked calm. “I hate idiots as well.”
Shan Qianjue glanced at Jiang Yeqian again.
Jiang Yeqian ignored him.
Tan Xiangdie did not dare to utter a word the whole time.
After all, he had just met this woman not long ago, and it would be bad if his identity was discovered.
“We really hit it off.” Qi Qingyao stood up, rubbed her hands together, and gave a flattering smile. “An honest person does not resort to insinuations. The Ghost Organization went out of its way to have someone inform me that you can help me. I’m pretty sure you’re not doing this just because you want to help me, but it’s that you need my help with something, right?”
Shan Qianjue said, “We don’t need your help.”
Qi Qingyao was confused. “Then you…”
Shan Qianjue said very assertively, “We just want to help Lady Qi, but if you’re still nitpicking about who is helping who… Two, show her out.”
“Wait, wait!” Qi Qingyao waved her hands hastily.
