Chapter 332: Chapter 246: From the Royal Family_2

"Does anyone here know what the Silent Raven is?" Yan Xiaobao suddenly asked, leaning back against his chair, though none of those present seemed to understand what he was talking about. Yan Xiaobao sighed. He had expected that no one would know about this matter, but it still felt somewhat disappointing.

Even though his friends were unaware, Yan Xiaobao did not give up because of this and decided to pay Lord Rong Liang a visit. It was clear that this man knew what the Silent Raven was, but the biggest challenge was whether he would be willing to share the information with Yan Xiaobao.

The issue wasn’t just whether Lord Rong Liang wanted to tell Yan Xiaobao; it was also whether the white-haired youth would even be allowed to survive if he dared probe into matters considered top-secret by the upper class within the nation.

Despite the dangers, Yan Xiaobao understood the importance of uncovering the truth about Silent Raven. He knew that, for now, he couldn’t defeat the Bearded Assassin unless he gathered more information. This ultimately made it necessary to visit the City Lord’s estate and obtain intelligence about this mysterious group.

If Lord Rong Liang turned into an enemy, Yan Xiaobao was prepared to leave the city. Although he didn’t want to leave so soon, there was essentially nothing preventing him from returning later, especially since Lan Feng had promised to take him traveling once reaching the higher tier. Leaving for a few months wasn’t likely to change much, though Yan Xiaobao was sure he would miss his friends.

Gazing out the window, Xu Yue sincerely hoped he could stay in Liluo City for a while. He had just purchased a perfect estate with three gardens, but this property wasn’t the only thing making Yan Xiaobao reluctant to leave. He wanted to stay and spend time with his friends.

The sisterly care from Rong Xing and the brotherly bond with Rong Ming. Deng Wu’s annoying yet entertaining teasing and his narcissistic bragging. Ma Kong’s taciturn demeanor and his uncanny ability to always say the right thing at precisely the right moment. Gao Yan was the loudest person Yan Xiaobao had ever met, yet he was also the most loyal. Gao Yan would go to great lengths to support his friends.

As Hui Yun looked at the now almost empty estate, a smile spread across his face when he thought about his friends. The smile widened further when Sha Yun appeared in front of him, beaming and holding a tray of food.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao’s expression freeze with worry as he noticed the tray, Sha Yun laughed, realizing he wasn’t suspecting her cooking but merely leftovers from the party.

To please Sha Yun, Xu Yue accepted the tray. Sitting beside him, Sha Yun’s face lit up with excitement as she gazed around the various rooms.

"This feels like home," she said in awe, her silver eyes shimmering as they darted over the mansion’s many spaces. Her face radiated pure joy.

Watching her excited expression, Yan Xiaobao felt a twinge of guilt. Although the two finally had a place they could call home, there was still the possibility they might have to leave when Yan Xiaobao met Lord Rong Liang.

Standing outside a heavy wooden door, Yan Xiaobao patiently waited as the guide entered the room to announce his arrival. The room belonged to Lord Rong Liang; it was his office, where he managed all matters related to the city’s administration.

Although he spent most of his time in the back garden, he had taken three out of ten days off to train his skills in spirit and refine it into Qi.

The refining process was crucial because Yan Xiaobao needed to charge into the master tier as soon as possible. However, he knew that if he didn’t continue purifying his Qi as meticulously as before, his entire cultivation foundation thus far would be wasted.

Even though Yan Xiaobao had absorbed vast amounts of essence and was now able to complete Qi transformations faster than before, he still understood that he wouldn’t break into the master tier within ten days. As such, he sought out the City Lord, hoping the man could provide some useful information.

With the situation weighing on him, Yan Xiaobao went so far as to hire guards to watch over his home. All of these guards were of Master rank, and this decision had been heavily deliberated. While Yan Xiaobao hated admitting he was too weak to handle his own circumstances, he had no choice—rushing to perfect cultivation would be reckless.

For now, Yan Xiaobao’s only option was to obtain information about the Silent Raven and act accordingly. Earlier, he had asked Gao Yan if his network had ever heard of such a group, but despite speaking to countless individuals, no one knew anything—even the offer of spiritual rewards yielded no results.

Looking at the solid wooden door before him, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but sigh, knowing this was his sole chance to resolve the issue himself. He could call upon Lan Feng to deal with this man, but that option carried equal risks.

If Lan Feng were to intervene here, he would undoubtedly leave traces that, upon analysis, would reveal they came from a Holy Position expert. The last thing Yan Xiaobao could afford right now was to let others believe these significant events were connected to him.

It wasn’t just pride that had stopped Yan Xiaobao from accepting help from Lan Feng thus far. Yan Xiaobao took pride in achieving things through his own persistence and overcoming hardships. Even though he had narrowly escaped danger the last time, Yan Xiaobao knew that, for now, there was only one assassin behind him, and with Velocity Flow, he had a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, the Bearded Assassin was evidently brilliant. It was highly likely he would set elaborate traps for Yan Xiaobao in the days ahead.

As deep thoughts occupied his mind, the heavy wooden door creaked open. The guide reappeared, offering Yan Xiaobao a slight bow before gesturing for the white-haired boy to enter.

Yan Xiaobao swiftly pushed his thoughts aside, nodding politely at the guide before stepping into the room.

Glancing around, Yan Xiaobao saw that everything was impeccably tidy. There were no papers randomly scattered across the desk; all items were neatly stored in boxes. Not a speck of dust was visible, and even the floor gleamed.

Lord Rong Liang held a scroll in his hand, carefully rolling it with utmost precision before placing it next to other documents lined up in straight rows.

"What an unexpected surprise," Lord Rong Liang remarked, gesturing for Yan Xiaobao to sit down. The two hadn’t interacted much, as Yan Xiaobao usually avoided Lord Rong Liang when possible. Yet, despite their scarce contact, they were seen as friends or allies, and Xu Yue had no one else to turn to—he was ready to take a gamble.

"I apologize for the intrusion," Yan Xiaobao said immediately, knowing he had to act decisively to persuade the City Lord. "I need some information, but I don’t expect you to share it for free," Yan Xiaobao continued. "I’ll give you tools to clean up the city. Even in impoverished areas, you can eliminate foul odors. I’ll even stabilize your roads using innovative techniques and ensure they don’t turn muddy during the rainy season."

Upon hearing these enticing promises, Lord Rong Liang squinted slightly, as if suspecting a trap was being set for him. "What information do you need?" he asked hesitantly. Although his guard remained up, the proposed benefits were undeniably tempting.

"What is the Silent Raven?" Xu Yue wasted no time circling around the matter. He had already baited Lord Rong Liang, and the longer he dragged out the request, the harder it would be for the middle-aged man to agree.

As the words left Yan Xiaobao’s lips, Lord Rong Liang froze, his eyes filled with shock. Moments later, he regained composure, calming both his body and spirit, as though he had never been shocked at all.

"How do you know about them?" Rong Liang asked, his gaze fixed intently on Yan Xiaobao’s face, scrutinizing every flicker of expression for signs of deceit.

"I don’t know much." Yan Xiaobao shrugged casually. "I overheard you discussing it with a bearded man at the housewarming party, and it piqued my curiosity."

Observing Xu Yue’s demeanor, Rong Liang realized the boy wasn’t lying, prompting him to utter a quiet grunt. If it was true, then sharing information about Silent Raven shouldn’t be too troublesome. Yet, somehow, the elder felt that while Yan Xiaobao wasn’t lying, he wasn’t telling the whole story either.

"Are you sure you can devise a way to rid my city of all its filth?" Rong Liang finally asked, his excitement evident as his eyes gleamed slightly red. Rong Liang despised dirtiness, especially how some parts of his beloved city drowned in muck. Currently, people were dumping their garbage at designated spots throughout the city, but the stench was intolerable. Rong Liang had been searching for a solution to eliminate it and improve the situation.
