Chapter 137: Chapter 101 Sky Shadow Organization_3

He settled him in a small cabin, left some money, and then departed again.

During that time, because of Ye’s death and Hong’er’s departure, he was greatly affected and nearly drank daily. Sometimes he would collapse drunk in the streets, sometimes in the mountains... but each time, it was Yeying who carried him back.

Every time he sobered up, Yeying would sternly say, "This is the last time I look after you, from now on your life and death are none of my concern!"

Yet, whenever he collapsed drunk outside again, that woman who verbally said she had left would still carry him back to her residence, prepare sobering soup for him, and help him change his clothes.

There were moments when he truly wondered if she was Ye.

Latter, Yeying told him about the conspiracy in the massacre at Anhe Village, igniting the flames of revenge within him, and he finally cheered up and promised Yeying to take the marriage document to the Ran Family.

It could be said that without Yeying, it would have been very difficult for him to pull himself together, much less survive.

So, Jiang Shouzhong was really grateful to this woman.

Even when marrying into the Ran Family, where it was clear they were using him, he still had no complaints.

——

When Yeying appeared again, it was in a dilapidated temple outside the Capital.

There were three people in the temple, all wearing masks.

Among them was the elderly man from Xichu Pavilion wearing a tiger mask.

It was he who had sent Qin Shier to test Jiang Shouzhong and later decided to have Jiang Shouzhong investigate the Demon Energy case, arranging for Nalan Xie to monitor him.

The other two, one wore a monkey mask, and the other wore a goat mask.

Seeing Yeying appear, the one in the monkey mask exclaimed, "Yo, Yeying is also in the Capital, had I known I would have invited you for a drink."

Yeying ignored him, staring at the elderly man in the tiger mask, "The court has been tightly investigating ’Sky Shadow’ recently, speak quickly if there is something."

Sky Shadow, the most mysterious intelligence organization of the Dazhou Dynasty.

It was initially established by the Zhuge Family as a secret national weapon, specifically for infiltrating and gathering intelligence from other countries.

As the dynasty changed continuously, the organization still persisted, transforming into an undercurrent among the populace. Although the leaders were still the Zhuge Family, its members were largely based on cooperative relationships.

The downside was its lack of unity, every man for himself.

The benefit was that it was easy to dissociate from conflicts, not burdened by the organization.

After all, each person didn’t know the true identity of the others, only strange partners.

Unknown to each other, unrecognized by face, nor understood by heart.

Just a simple exchange.

Of course, entering Sky Shadow was not that easy, besides needing an introduction by someone known, obtaining a token of the Zhuge Family, one also needed to provide significant value. If someone’s provided value didn’t match, they would be kicked out of Sky Shadow, and there might even be more severe punishment.

"Don’t rush, Yeying, wait a bit, perhaps others will come too," said the monkey-masked man lazily sitting on the altar, his voice through the mask slightly sharp, "There are sixteen members of Sky Shadow scattered throughout Dazhou, as far as I know, there are five residing routinely in the Capital. They are Old Goat, Water Buffalo..."

"Monkey, you should know the rules of Sky Shadow, don’t want to live anymore?"

The person wearing the white goat mask interrupted him.

The monkey chuckled but said no more.

Seeing the elderly man in the tiger mask remain silent, Yeying walked aside, closed her eyes, and silently waited for others to arrive.

The one called Old Goat spoke lightly, "Before the others arrive, I have a deal I want to make. I was fortunate recently to acquire a book, the second volume of ’Yin Yang Divine Thistle Register,’ one of the four great odd volumes. I want to trade it for some information."

Although Old Goat spoke to everyone, his gaze was directed towards the elderly man in the tiger mask.

Clearly, he believed that only the elderly man would know this information.

However, the elderly man seemed uninterested in his offer, just silently staring at a broken Buddha statue.

"What information? Maybe I know," the monkey chuckled and asked.

Disappointed by the elderly man’s reaction, Old Goat’s tone faded slightly, "I want to know from whom the Crown Prince obtained the Haotian Divine Luck. Is this person dead or alive? If alive, where are they?"
