Chapter 29: Exact Revenge

"Manager He, long time no see!"

Luo Yao arrived at the familiar Task Department and saw Manager He lounging with his legs crossed, looking very carefree.

Seeing Luo Yao and the other two approach, Manager He's expression instantly changed; how could he not know about the major events happening in the sect recently, especially the matter of the "Lucky Pair"?

Originally, two Outer Sect disciples with extremely poor talent, yet they were taken as disciples by a Foundation Establishment Elder, and their relationship was very close, so many people called Luo Yao and the other the "Lucky Pair".

As for Luo Yao's other nickname, "Luo Sanming", no one dared to call it anymore.

So, after learning of Luo Yao's deeds, Manager He was on edge for a while; after all, he had squeezed Luo Yao, and if she came to settle the score, Manager He could not afford to offend her.

Fortunately, the worry was unnecessary; Luo Yao did not come to settle the score, which made Manager He breathe a sigh of relief.

Before, ten Spirit Stones meant nothing to him; now, with savings gone by more than half and needing Spirit Stones to treat his sister, suddenly producing ten Spirit Stones still made his heart ache.

Never mind; if it can make that wretched woman pay the price, ten Spirit Stones mean nothing.

"Twenty." Manager He gritted his teeth, "Junior Shimei Luo, I am willing to put up twenty Spirit Stones as an apology."

"They want to find Cold Ice Jade and Star Frost Sand; if you can obtain them, or have clues, come find me and I will cancel this Debt Note!"

"Senior?"

That man gritted his teeth, took a Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag.

Seeing this, Manager He's face darkened. "You want to inquire about information with just this few Spirit Stones? Go, go, go, don't hinder me."

Cultivators swearing an oath, this could really get them struck by lightning.

"Actually, in the future, if Junior Shimei Fang has matters, just send me a message directly; you don't need to run over personally."

The result was that the happy days hadn't passed for a few days before Luo Yao actually came to the door.

"Since you have three Spirit Stones, just give me three first; owing only seven is fine, right?" Manager He's shrewd gaze flickered.

"Star Frost Sand?"

"What?" Manager He raised an eyebrow. "Do you have a grudge against them?"

This was something Luo Yao had considered earlier: using Manager He's ability to help her inquire about information.

"Cold Ice Jade, Star Frost Sand, what are these?"

"I only have three Spirit Stones on me..."

He hadn't finished speaking before Manager He interrupted, "Ten Spirit Stones; if you don't have them, write a Debt Note."

"Just now, were those the rumored Lucky Pair? What did they want from the Senior?"

"Junior Shimei Luo, it was my fault before; I am willing to put up ten Spirit Stones as compensation!"

After entering the Cave Abode, Zhao Yang asked eagerly, "What did you find out?"

The man knew Manager He wanted to make an exorbitant demand, but if he could get the desired information, it was all worth it.

Manager He spoke with some nervousness and excitement, completely forgetting the fact that he had just wanted to lose his temper.

Manager He naturally dared not; in a moment of excitement, he even forgot Luo Yao was nearby.

"How could that be?" Manager He changed his face and spoke righteously, "How could I, Liu Lang, be so lousy as to treat a fellow disciple like this..."

The man's face shifted between gloom and light; finally, he made a ruthless decision. "Fine, give me a Debt Note!"

Manager He suddenly felt a stir in his heart; he was just short of people to help inquire, and now one had conveniently come to the door.

"Good!"

"Enough nonsense!" Zhao Yang interrupted his words and urged for the third time, "What exactly did you find out? If I discover you are lying to me, I will make you know what it means to wish for death but not get it."

"Help me inquire about news on Cold Ice Jade and Star Frost Sand..."

Only after the man finished writing the Debt Note did Manager He tell him the truth.

How could Zhao Yang not understand his meaning? His face instantly turned unpleasant; his Storage Bag had long been taken by Elder Gongsun, of course, as a cunning rabbit has three burrows, he had kept a little savings.

He took out ten Spirit Stones and threw them to the man; the man immediately showed a look of joy and told him that Luo Yao wanted Cold Ice Jade and Star Frost Sand.

Manager He was just about to get angry; hearing these words, he was instantly like having a bucket of cold water poured over him, and the words he wanted to scold with were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I have found the information I wanted."

"Luo, why has Junior Shimei Luo come?"

"No, no." That person hurriedly shook his head and quickly smiled, "I just wanted to see if I could help, to build a connection..."

"As soon as possible; I don't hope to drag on for several months or half a year."

"Not needed."

"Ten Spirit Stones?" Luo Yao pouted. "Do you think I, now, am short of these ten Spirit Stones?"

Manager He quickly jumped up from the chair, smiling ingratiatingly, though his heart was uneasy.

"Is that so?" Luo Yao suddenly interrupted his words. "Manager He doesn't remember me? Dare you swear to Heaven?"

At this time, a furtive figure walked over and respectfully bowed to Manager He.

Manager He, who had been somewhat hesitant, hearing these words, nodded without hesitation; after all, he didn't have to pay Spirit Stones, just inquire about information, at most spending some effort.

Manager He's face instantly turned ugly; although he knew Luo Yao was speaking the truth, leaning on a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Spirit Stones were no shortage, but for him, ten Spirit Stones were enough to make his heart ache.

If Luo Yao were here, she would definitely recognize him; he was one of Zhao Lili's lackeys.

"Never mind, this is not the place to talk; follow me into the Cave Abode."

Zhao Yang inside the Cave Abode heard the sound, rushed out quickly, and urgently asked, "What did you find out?"

"What matter?"

Luo Yao's words instantly made Manager He explode. "Don't..."

Thus, he tapped the table with his thumb but said nothing, wearing a deeply meaningful expression.

Soon, the man arrived at Zhao Yang's Cave Abode.

"Anything under ten years' worth, you find and give to me; or anything over ten years' worth, just provide clues, and the grievances between us will be wiped clean."

After Luo Yao and the other left, Liu Guanshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, lay back down, and leisurely went on dreaming sweet dreams.

In these years, Luo Yao had completed the most missions and was also the one he had fleeced the most; hearing Luo Yao's accusation now, Liu Guanshi gritted his teeth.

The man finally spoke out about the fact that he had owed ten Spirit Stones to gather information.

"Senior Brother Zhao, rest assured, how would I dare to deceive you? This is information I obtained from Liu Guanshi only after spending ten Spirit Stones..."

The man immediately showed a aggrieved expression. "Senior Brother Zhao, these past days I have been everywhere inquiring about their whereabouts; today I finally found them and followed them to the Task Hall..."

"Junior Sister Fang, rest assured, I guarantee this matter will be handled perfectly for you."

Before the following words were finished, Luo Yao continued, "However, as long as you help me complete this matter, the grudge between us will be settled once and for all!"

Obviously, Liu Guanshi had heard of these two materials for the first time.

The man's eyes immediately lit up; he agreed wholeheartedly and then, carrying the Debt Note, hurriedly departed.

"Is that true or false?"

The man knew that if he did not agree, Liu Guanshi would not tell him, so he could only agree with a painful heart.

Luo Yao said nothing, then looked at Fang Qingyan; Fang Qingyan briefly explained the mission, and Liu Guanshi patted his chest, guaranteeing it.

"If I do not make the trip, wouldn't you also deduct the reward for this mission?"

Zhao Yang's eyes lit up; he had previously discovered this item in an ancient Cave Abode.

Instantly, he wore a smile of smug satisfaction. "Hahaha, this is Heaven wanting to help Lily and me take revenge!"

He had been unable to find a way to lure Luo Yao out, but now, wasn't the opportunity right here?
