230: :The owner of Jackdaw Tower came in person

“It’s nothing.” Seeing that someone had finally arrived, Jiang Lan stood up. “Can you make the decision?”

“Of course, I can.” The older woman curtsied slightly. “Young Master, would it be convenient for this concubine to inspect the goods?”

“Convenient, of course, it’s convenient.” Jiang Lan said, pointing towards the entrance. “It’s right there, you can go.”

Some of the demons outside were still warm. There was no shoddy work, so inspecting the goods was just a formality.

Jiang Lan did not accompany the woman out but waited at the doorway.

After more than ten breaths, the slightly older woman returned, looking at Jiang Lan. In the depths of her eyes, there was a hint of fear.

Based on her many years of experience, Jiang Lan was at least a Peak Core Formation expert.

For an expert of this Realm, and not someone from Cold Crow Pavilion, no amount of caution would be too much.

She deliberated for a long time before speaking:

“This servant is Yan Jue. May I ask for Young Master’s esteemed name?”

“Jiang Lan.”

“Young Master Jiang, please follow this servant upstairs for a discussion.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Lan nodded, following Yan Jue upstairs.

The top floor was a huge reception room, with no other rooms. After going upstairs, the entire area was a reception room.

Screens, tea tables, everything was available, with an elegant charm.

“Young Master Jiang, please take a seat.”

Jiang Lan was not polite and sat down at the tea table.

Without much unnecessary talk, he directly said:

“I want to exchange the corpses of those demons outside for information.”

Yan Jue froze for a moment, then smiled brightly and said:

“Of course, you can. Young Master Jiang, what information do you wish to exchange for?”

“Information on Soul Transformation. Do you have it here? Or the specific Realms of the fifteen Great Demons of the Demon Domain.”

“This…”

Yan Jue’s pupils contracted slightly, clearly not expecting Jiang Lan’s questions to be so outrageous.

Soul Transformation?

Could it be that this young man named Jiang Lan was a Peak Nascent Soul expert?

Otherwise, why would he ask about Soul Transformation?

Seeing Yan Jue’s reaction, Jiang Lan was a little disappointed.

“You don’t have it?”

In fact, he hadn’t held much hope initially. He mainly came to try his luck.

But apparently, his luck wasn’t very good.

However, that was also true.

Even if this Cold Crow Pavilion was incredibly powerful, Soul Transformation was already the top Realm in the entire Chihong Province.

If a small branch had all the detailed information, it seemed unlikely.

If it were the main headquarters of Cold Crow Pavilion, it might be possible to have the information Jiang Lan wanted.

But then, a sentence from Yan Jue surprised Jiang Lan.

She nodded.

“We do.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes widened slightly.

They do?

Is it real or fake?

He had already prepared to leave empty-handed, but he didn’t expect that the things he wanted were actually available here?

After a moment of surprise, Jiang Lan composed himself and asked:

“If I were to exchange the information I mentioned earlier for silver, how much would it cost?”

Jiang Lan wouldn’t be so foolish as to think that the corpses of the three hundred demons outside would be enough to exchange for Soul Transformation Realm intelligence.

Even the highest Realm among those demon corpses was just Demon Core.

A group of small fries, not even enough for a fraction of the price.

Hearing this, Yan Jue shook her head.

“Silver cannot buy what Young Master Jiang wishes to inquire about.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes flashed.

Silver was a common currency, but when the value of goods reached a certain level, ordinary currency was no longer effective.

“Then what can I use to exchange for it?”

Yan Jue was silent for a while.

“May I ask, Young Master Jiang, what Realm are you in?”

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Asking about his Realm.

He was considering whether to tell the truth.

This woman named Yan Jue certainly couldn’t threaten him.

But Jiang Lan didn’t know the specific Realm of the Building Master of Cold Crow.

However, it was estimated that it would certainly not be low.

Just as Jiang Lan was pondering, Yan Jue thought she had caused his displeasure and quickly added:

“It’s not that this servant intends to inquire about Young Master’s Realm; it’s just that Building Master once instructed that only after reaching a certain height in Realm can one obtain the information you asked about earlier.”

Hearing Yan Jue say this, Jiang Lan also gave up the idea of hiding his Realm and directly said:

“Soul Transformation.”

The moment Jiang Lan uttered those two words, Yan Jue’s entire body visibly trembled.

She said with some difficulty:

“My Lord… do you have proof?”

“Easy to say.”

Jiang Lan agreed, then directly released his Aura.

The Aura was not directed at Yan Jue, but the moment it was released, Yan Jue, who had been sitting, immediately fell to her knees on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan retracted his Aura.

“Does this count as proof?”

Yan Jue remained kneeling before Jiang Lan for a while before she trembled and stood up.

“It counts… My Lord, this servant is not authorized to receive you. Would it be convenient for you to wait a moment?”

Jiang Lan: “…”

He still had to wait.

But there was no other way.

If he had to wait, then he would wait.

Nodding, Jiang Lan asked:

“How long will it take?”

Yan Jue was extremely humble towards Jiang Lan at this moment, lowering her head and saying:

“This servant needs to contact Building Master. If it’s quick, within a quarter of an hour. If it’s slow, it might take almost half an hour.”

“Alright.”

He didn’t expect that his Face was quite significant, enough to even be personally received by the Building Master of Cold Crow.

Moreover, from Yan Jue’s words, the Building Master of Cold Crow was clearly not nearby, and the distance should not be short.

To be honest, Jiang Lan was still somewhat curious about the Building Master of Cold Crow.

After all, establishing such a massive assassin organization couldn’t be accomplished overnight.

Yan Jue bowed and left the reception room, while Jiang Lan remained in his seat, looking around.

It had been a long time since he returned to the human world, and at this moment, he actually felt a sense of being in another era.

When he first emerged from Great Yan, he was just a minor figure in the Mortal Shedding Realm.

He even achieved Breakthrough to Core Formation while on the road.

But how long had it been since then? He had already risen from Mortal Shedding all the way to the Peak of combat power on this continent.

Of course, it might not necessarily be the Peak.

After all, he hadn’t fully grasped the overall situation of Chihong Province yet.

However, even if it wasn’t the Peak, his Realm and strength were probably enough to rank in the first tier.

Jiang Lan pondered, and unknowingly, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Just then, Jiang Lan heard footsteps.

He looked towards the staircase and saw a young, vibrant girl, not very old, walking step by step towards him.

The girl’s age, judging by her appearance, seemed to be only sixteen.

Moreover, her figure was unremarkable, as if she hadn’t even begun to develop.

But at a time like this, it was impossible for someone going upstairs to be just an unremarkable young girl.

Jiang Lan looked at the little girl with a somewhat strange expression.

So, this was the Building Master of Cold Crow he had been anticipating for so long?

It wasn’t that she didn’t resemble one, but the girl’s demeanor was simply too far removed from the cold-blooded assassin image Jiang Lan had in mind.
