Chapter 601: Chapter 601: You Drank Too Much
Su Qing shook her head. Even if she intended to deal with those two Onmyoji families, she had no intention of cooperating with Qian Ying.
Seeing Su Qing shake her head, Qian Ying was a little disappointed. "I was thinking, with my Array Technique and your Wood Spirit, dealing with the Ye Yue Family and Shengchuan Family would be much easier. Oh well. Since you’re not interested, I won’t insist. I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again."
Su Qing nodded at Qian Ying. "The elders of these two families are not to be underestimated. If you’re going to deal with them, be careful. I wish you success."
Since they had a common enemy, Su Qing was willing to offer her blessing.
Qian Ying smiled and said, "Thank you. I don’t know what you’re doing here in Japan, but I hope you succeed as well. As long as you’re making trouble for Japan, I hope you succeed."
With that, Qian Ying gave Su Qing her contact information. "If there’s anything you need my help with, just contact me. I won’t hesitate to help."
"Alright." Su Qing didn’t refuse Qian Ying’s kind offer.
"And this." Qian Ying handed her a Resident Ticket. "I’m guessing you don’t have any identification for your time here in Japan. Buying train tickets and booking lodging here is different from Hua Country; you don’t need ID or letters of introduction. However, if you run into a random inspection, you might need a Resident Ticket. This one is for you, for emergencies. Don’t worry, it’s real and verifiable, and it won’t reveal your true identity in any way. You can use it without any concern."
Su Qing really wasn’t familiar with these aspects of Japan, and she couldn’t exactly go around asking about them before. So, Qian Ying’s gift today was a pleasant surprise. This Resident Ticket would save her a lot of trouble. Su Qing smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I owe you one."
"It was no trouble at all. Helping you is helping myself. After all, we have the same goal," Qian Ying said with a smile.
Su Qing waved the Resident Ticket in her hand. "In any case, thank you."
"Don’t mention it. Well then, until we meet again." Qian Ying gave Su Qing a slight bow, then turned and left the forest.
After Qian Ying left, Su Qing looked at the Resident Ticket. The information on it was simple, mainly recording things like name, gender, date of birth, and address. The name on the ticket was Qiantian Lingzi, and the age was close to that of her current disguise. Su Qing couldn’t help but marvel at how thoughtful Qian Ying was.
Su Qing put the Resident Ticket away, then collected the remaining Stone Pillars and talismans one by one into her spatial storage before leaving Putai Mountain. Since Qian Ying was going to deal with the Ye Yue Family and the Shengchuan Family, Su Qing no longer concerned herself with the man with the neatly trimmed mustache and his group. Instead, she decisively bought a train ticket to Ban City. There was no direct train from Sanyi Town to Ban City, so Su Qing had to transfer, arriving in Ban City three days later.
Ban City was one of the most prosperous cities in Japan and a hub where many of the great families gathered. Besides the Qiutian Clan, two other major families were also based in Ban City. These three families had a near-monopoly on the city’s entire economy and the livelihood of its people. Speaking of these three families, Su Qing noticed the locals held them in high esteem, but also with a certain wariness.
Of course, there were also those who blindly idolized these families. As luck would have it, Su Qing ran into one not long after getting off the train.
"Haha, if you ask me, the Qiutian Clan is the most impressive! They got so many antiques and artifacts, and all through legitimate channels. Even if the other side wants to press the issue, there’s nothing they can do." In a restaurant below the hotel where Su Qing was staying, a man with medium-length curly hair who had had a bit to drink slammed his hand on the table and spoke loudly to his friend, his voice carrying throughout the entire establishment. "I heard the Qiutian Clan is even going to build a museum! They’re going to put all those antiques and artifacts in it for people to see. Of course, you’ll have to buy a ticket to visit, HAHAHAHA! It makes me happy just thinking about it. If those people over there find out, they’ll probably die from anger."
"What? The Qiutian Clan is building a museum? That’s a huge undertaking!" The man next to him looked shocked. "Is your information reliable?"
"Of course it is." The curly-haired man nodded. "My brother-in-law works for the Qiutian Family. This news will get out soon enough. Just you watch, the Qiutian Family’s museum will be built in no time. When it’s done, I’ll ask my brother-in-law to get us a couple of tickets so I can take you for a look at all that good stuff."
"Wow, that would be fantastic! Don’t you forget, now! You have to take me to see it. I want to see what those antiques look like, too."
"Haha, no problem! I guarantee you’ll get a crystal-clear look. My brother-in-law is no small fry in the Qiutian Family. He’s got some real authority and is highly valued," the curly-haired man said with a smug look, as if he were the one held in high regard by the Qiutian Family.
Sitting in the corner, Su Qing clenched her fists tightly. She surreptitiously glanced at the curly-haired man a few times, memorizing his face.
’That damn Qiutian Clan. It’s bad enough they stole so many artifacts from Hua Country, but now they’re building a museum to profit from them. They’re truly despicable and shameless.’
The sky gradually darkened. In a dim alley in Ban City, the curly-haired man, quite drunk, had taken off his jacket and slung it over his shoulder. He staggered home, humming an unidentifiable tune.
In his daze, the curly-haired man saw a slender figure ahead of him. His eyes instantly lit up. He quickly rubbed them and took a closer look. ’Hey, she didn’t disappear. It really is a girl who looks beautiful even just from the back.’
The curly-haired man brazenly sized up the slender back in front of him, a lecherous smile slowly spreading across his face. He glanced left and right, saw that the alley was empty, and immediately grew bolder. He quickened his pace, reaching out to grab the girl’s shoulder. "Hey beautiful, beautiful, how about a little chat?"
But the girl in front seemed to know he was about to grab her shoulder. She took two quick steps forward, causing the curly-haired man’s hand to grasp at empty air and nearly stumble. The girl turned around. It was none other than a disguised Su Qing. This time, her appearance was different from how she had looked in Sanyi Town, but she was still very beautiful.
Seeing Su Qing’s face, the curly-haired man’s eyes went wide. ’Her back was gorgeous, and her face is just as stunning!’ He let out a lecherous chuckle, burped, and a wave of alcohol-stench erupted from his mouth. "Beautiful, let’s get to know each other."
"You’ve had too much to drink," Su Qing said flatly, her voice tinged with a faint chill.
