Chapter 349: Chapter 157: Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair, A Leisurely Stroll in the Courtyard (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Being the leader of such a large faction, even if just as a Sovereign, was by no means an ordinary person. How could they be easily taken down by Xu Qing?

Moreover, the woman was exceptionally well-maintained, but her age did not match that of the Dongming Princess.

Because the Dongming Princess was only a little over twenty years old this year.

Although the beautiful woman took good care of herself, Xu Qing could still rely on the medical knowledge passed on to him by Elder Dan Xi to determine that she was around thirty-five years of age and had given birth before.

In his intelligence, it seemed like there was no one in the East Sea Gang who matched the description of the beautiful woman.

"An outsider of high status?"

In a short span of time, Xu Qing analyzed many things.

The identity of this woman was certainly extraordinary, but it was clearly of little use.

"I can’t say, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble. Whatever you want, I can have them give it to you. We can let this matter rest here," the beautiful woman, half annoyed and half sincerely, advised.

"This matter is not up to you," Xu Qing spoke slowly.

Just as the beautiful woman was about to say something, the world suddenly spun around.

When she woke up again, Xu Qing was still in front of her, only his expression was a bit odd.

The beautiful woman exclaimed with fear, "You used an Enchanting Spell on me, what did you ask?"

Xu Qing furrowed his brows, "Don’t you know that the Court is about to move against the East Sea Gang? What are you doing here?"

He could never have imagined that the woman before him was a concubine raised by Prince Yu behind the scenes of the Sea Sand Gang, and also a key figure in the Sea Sand Gang.

No wonder Prince Yu could secretly manipulate the Sea Sand Gang; the beautiful woman had clearly played a key role.

But in such a short amount of time, he hadn’t asked too many things.

With the Enchanting Spell, if he probed too deeply into secrets, the person under the spell would subconsciously resist.

After all, this was not a Soul Search.

As for Xu Qing’s Enchanting Spell, it was obtained from a Daoist of Heshan Tao who resembled a crow.

Belonging to the crow Daoist, it was one of the few Dao Skills Xu Qing could directly use.

Xu Qing did not kill the beautiful woman straight away.

Her existence was actually evidence of Prince Yu’s collusion with foreign forces.

The Emperor’s son was colluding with foreigners, quite a novelty indeed.

However, Xu Qing knew all too well that there were many secrets on her that could be unearthed. Keeping her alive held some risk, but the benefits were considerable.

Perhaps she could help him infiltrate his own forces into the Sea Sand Gang.

"The guards who came with you, are they gambling?" Xu Qing asked directly.

The beautiful woman remained silent, not answering.

Xu Qing said, "Being subjected to the Enchanting Spell too many times can make one become an idiot. If you’re hoping for that, I can continue using it."

The beautiful woman finally spoke, "They’re over there."

How could she have imagined that on the East Sea vessel, there would be such danger?

Besides, she was bathing, and with guards outside, what would it look like?

So, she only had her personal maids around her.

"Where is the Dongming Princess?"

"On the island."

Xu Qing inwardly regretted but was also aware that without the Dongming Princess, the leader, part of the core strength of the East Sea Gang would naturally accompany her to the island, which meant the probability of encountering dangerous individuals on the East Sea vessel was very low at this time.

Indeed, the feedback from the Qi Fortune Little Snake was the same.

If there were extremely dangerous individuals present, the dark Qi would be much denser and fiercer.

"Tell me about your people, how many there are, and what they look like," Xu Qing looked at her.

The beautiful woman could not resist and had to speak the truth.

Xu Qing then, once again, scrambled the order of questioning, and seeing that her answers were consistent, he kicked one of the maids on the ground, hitting her directly in the chest at a vital point, and promptly she ceased to breathe.

The beautiful woman was horrified.

Both of her maids were quite beautiful, and this man did not hesitate for even a moment; he killed without second thought.

He didn’t even think to take advantage of them?

Was this man made of stone?

After killing the two maids, Xu Qing looked towards the beautiful woman again, "Do you have anything else to say now? If I find any discrepancies in your answers later, this is your last chance to come clean."

The beautiful woman paled and then informed Xu Qing about three guards who were not gambling but had gotten drunk and were asleep in their rooms, fully clothed, informing Xu Qing without missing a single detail.

Xu Qing did not scramble the order of information again and gave her a deep look, "This is your last chance."

The beautiful woman quickly nodded, "Everything you asked, I’ve told you, there’s nothing else I’ve hidden."

Xu Qing nodded and glanced again at the two maids’ corpses.

He was becoming increasingly ruthless.

Putting aside these sentiments, he ordered the beautiful woman to dress properly. Since her attire was very complicated to put on, normally requiring assistance from her maids, and since both maids had been killed by Xu Qing, he directly helped her get dressed, while also thoroughly checking her inside out.

After ensuring there were no more dangerous items on the beautiful woman, Xu Qing restored her joints and reopened her Qi-Blood circulation.

Still, weakness was inevitable.

"Next, follow my orders; we’re going to find those three drunken guards."

The beautiful woman nodded.

So Xu Qing led her out of the room, following her as though he was her guard. The beautiful woman draped a veil over her face, looking noble and elegant.

Occasionally, when East Sea Gang members who recognized her as a distinguished guest of the gang encountered her, they could only lower their heads and give way.

The beautiful woman realized that even though Xu Qing was alone in the perilous environment of the East Sea vessel, like entering a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den, he still strolled at ease with an air of nonchalance, as if walking in his own backyard, without the slightest worry that things might be exposed, endangering himself greatly.

Nonetheless, such bearing was truly rare to see.

Especially for such a young man, it was even more surprising.

And in combination with Xu Qing’s physique and appearance, she had a vague idea of who he might be.

After all, someone like her would definitely remember the portraits of some outstanding individuals.
