Value of Information

"Young Master Xiao, were you sent by one of the strongest factions in the Han Empire to warn us?" Yuan Qianyu started to think she was being toyed with by Xiao Chen or the figure behind him.

Xiao Chen shook his head slowly, "Miss Yuan misunderstood, once again I came just to buy some pills."

There was silence for a while because Yuan Qianyu didn't know how to act towards Xiao Chen. Finally Qianyu called a maid to bring over a book.

Qianyu handed the book to Xiao Chen, "That book contains a list of information that the Silver Moon Association needs in order to thrive in the Han Empire, we will pay a heavy price for any information we need."

Xiao Chen flipped through page after page, there were written about pill recipes, locations of precious resources, certain stealth weaknesses, information about a person, and more.

The book also wrote down the Silver Moon Association's wish for important information that could be used to recruit some high-level warriors. Xiao Chen knew that most of these warriors would indeed end up joining this association in the future.

"Right now what the Silver Moon Association needs most is a way to recruit these warriors right? The reason you guys haven't announced this shop sells the resources warriors need is because there isn't enough strength to protect them yet." Xiao Chen smiled broadly.

Qianyu's heart skipped a beat, she thought for quite a while before finally nodding slowly.

"Miss Yuan, I can help you with the information to get these ten people." Xiao Chen marked ten names, all of them were expert level warriors even two of them were titled warriors. If the Silver Moon Association could recruit all of them then the association's strength would increase quite a lot.

"Young Master Xiao, If the information you provide is correct then the Silver Moon Association will make you an Honorary Customer who gets a 30% discount every time you shop at all of our branch stores. Besides all these pills I will give you for free." Yuan Qianyu said seriously.

Xiao Chen nodded slowly, Qianyu would not reward him right away because they had to check the truth of the information provided. Xiao Chen started writing down important information that was useful for recruiting these ten people.

Yuan Qianyu frowned as she read the information Xiao Chen gave her.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong Miss Yuan?" Xiao Chen asked with a big smile.

Yuan Qianyu shook her head, if the information Xiao Chen gave was correct then surely these ten warriors could be recruited easily but this information should only be known by those closest to them. If it weren't for Xiao Chen's young age, Qianyu suspected that the young man before her knew these ten warriors closely.

Actually Xiao Chen could provide more information that the Silver Moon Association was looking for but he wanted to first see how the association cooperated. Yun Qianyu handed Xiao Chen a silver card and gave him a 20% discount on his current pill purchase.

After obtaining the item he wanted, Xiao Chen intended to take his leave.

"Young Master Xiao, If all this goes as planned. I hope we can still work together in the future." Yuan Qianyu accompanied Xiao Chen out of the room.

Xiao Chen smiled broadly, Qianyu didn't ask about how to contact him. All of that meant the Silver Moon Association had started to investigate him or had no intention of paying him for the information he had provided since Xiao Chen was still so young with limited strength.

Xiao Chen chose to remain silent, not complaining about it in the slightest, and chose to watch the situation develop. Qianyu accompanied him until the gate and then Xiao Chen slowly disappeared from the girl's sight.

"Miss, I will follow him." The expert warrior guarding Qianyu spoke up.

Qianyu raised her hand, stopping the warrior intentions, "We have to find out all the information first. If all of that information is true, we have to be even more careful not to offend it."

Not once did Qianyu view Xiao Chen as someone much younger than her after realizing Xiao Chen knew so many secrets of the Silver Moon Association that outsiders shouldn't know. That was why Qianyu was quite certain that the information Xiao Chen had given her was completely accurate.

Qianyu immediately arranged for her members to recruit ten warriors using the information provided by Xiao Chen.

"I suspect that this Young Master Xiao knows more about the information we need but he wants to see if we are worthy of his cooperation or not."

"Miss, Why do you say that?"

"The ten warriors he selected are all near Luoyang, using the information he provided we should be able to recruit them all within three days at the most. This indicates he deliberately chose information that we can verify in a short time." Qianyu took a deep breath, she only realized this after rereading the names of the warriors.

Yuan Qianyu also remembered that Xiao Chen had easily found the location of her bodyguard who was an expert warrior, the same young man was also able to read her martial level at a glance even though Qianyu who had been trying to read Xiao Chen from the start couldn't find any meaningful information.

"His body radiates a pressure that is not far from mine and maybe even a bit more than mine, but I don't feel the slightest bit of internal energy from his body. How can he have that much power if he relies solely on physical strength?" The more Qianyu tried to understand it, the more confused she became.

At the same time, Xiao Chen was on his way back to the inn while looking at the silver card in his hand. Xiao Chen had never expected that his visit this time would get him the card that so many people coveted in the future.

"If I can forge cooperation and gain great influence in the Silver Moon Association, they can help me heal Master in the future." Xiao Chen heard in his previous life that the Silver Moon Association highly valued those who contributed to their development, he could only hope that those were true.

With the help of the Silver Moon Association, Xiao Chen's martial journey would go even smoother especially if he needed resources in the future.

If one day the time came for the Valley of the Hundred Swords to find and make Water Ginseng their main source of income, Xiao Chen could get the help of the Silver Moon Association to sell it for a high price.

Xiao Chen kept the silver card tucked away in his robes, he then touched the jade that Yin Xuehua had given him.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen that little princess, how are you now? Could it be that her condition has improved?"

Yin Xuehua's innocently smiling face suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind, causing him to chuckle to himself.
