The Qi Gathering Stage cultivator said, "This person only said he wanted to meet the one who posted the notice. He gave me a jade slip and arranged to meet at noon three days from now at the location shown on the map inside it. He also demanded that only the person who posted the notice be allowed to go." As he spoke, he respectfully presented a jade slip. It was sealed with a restriction, clearly because that person did not want anyone else to learn its contents.
Yan Chihuo accepted it and asked, "What did that person look like?"
The Qi Gathering Stage cultivator replied, "He concealed his face with an illusion, so I could not make out anything. Not only that, I know nothing at all about him. The only thing I know is his voice, but it was utterly ordinary, without the slightest distinguishing feature."
Bian Xiang said, "In other words, you know neither his cultivation nor whether he is male or female. He could even be a demon, and if you heard his voice again, you still would not be able to identify him. Is that right?"
The Qi Gathering Stage cultivator looked ashamed. "This disciple is incompetent. Please punish me, Senior."
Yan Chihuo waved a hand. "That person is far stronger than you. This is not your fault. You may leave."
The man looked as though he had been granted a great pardon. After bowing, he hurriedly withdrew. Once he had left, Bian Xiang said, "In that case, he truly may possess information on this matter. But he wants you to go alone, so beware of a trap. After all, your notice implied that you were willing to trade treasures for it. It would not be strange for someone to set their sights on you."
