Inside the Office of Courtesans, Tang Yuanlou ate his fill, leaving only the whole roasted suckling pig untouched.
"My brothers haven't had good food like this in a long time either."
"I'll take this roasted suckling pig back for them."
"Little Brother Wen, don't worry. I'll make sure it gets delivered."
"Thank you for the trouble, Brother Tang."
Wen Qingkong cupped his hands in thanks and saw Tang Yuanlou out of the Office of Courtesans.
Before parting, Tang Yuanlou hesitated, then turned back and said to Wen Qingkong, "Little Brother Wen, making money isn't easy. You shouldn't be so generous when tipping attendants."
Wen Qingkong paused slightly before smiling and nodding in agreement.
Tang Yuanlou soon merged into the crowd and vanished from sight.
After seeing Tang Yuanlou off, Wen Qingkong returned home.
Once the secret letter reached the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect would surely respond.
By then, Prince Jiu in Yujing City should also have learned that something had happened with Mingzhou Dark Stone.
Over a million taels of illicit silver was enough to accomplish many things.
The White Lotus Sect was a massive organization and would never let that silver slip away. When the time came, Prince Jiu's attention would naturally settle on the White Lotus Sect.
Wen Qingkong would naturally be safe as well.
The following days were peaceful and uneventful. Both Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing remembered Wen Qingkong's instructions and did not reveal the slightest trace of martial skill.
King Runner had found the disguised Zeng Jing in the first place precisely because she had used martial arts to save Jiang Asheng.
This time, Wen Qingkong sternly instructed them that no matter what happened, neither Jiang Asheng nor Zeng Jing was to use martial arts, much less get entangled in any trouble.
