Chapter 18: Get
"These three contact persons from the Chizuru family consist of two Great Warriors and one Yin-Yang Master..."
Information obtained from the gray mirror surfaced in Su Yuan's mind.
Great Warriors from Fusang Country were equivalent to Transforming Force Grandmasters in Xia Country, while Yin-Yang Masters were the closest existence to Great Yin-Yang Masters.
Yin-Yang Masters had frail bodies but powerful spirits, with methods that were bizarre and unpredictable.
With two physically strong Great Warriors protecting them, Yin-Yang Masters could unleash 100%, even 120% of their strength.
Of course, whether it was Great Warriors or Yin-Yang Masters, both were extremely rare in Fusang Country.
Even powerful families like the Chizuru family didn't have many.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tianshan snow lotus was related to the condition of that Great Yin-Yang Master from the Chizuru family, the Chizuru family wouldn't have invested such heavy resources.
"They should have already entered room 6006 by now."
Su Yuan thought to himself.Since his room 6009 was located in a corner and was an independent room, it was quite far from room 6006.
The room numbering in the hotel indeed followed 6001, 6002, 6003... but when reaching the end, the next room would appear starting from the opposite side.
Room 6009 was exactly like that.
"Twenty minutes later, that fleeing Fusang person will also come to Yuan'an Hotel and, according to the information agreed with the contacts, enter room 6006 to hand over the Tianshan snow lotus to them."
Su Yuan contemplated privately.
With the existence of the gray mirror, he had complete understanding of the Fusang people's plan.
Nine minutes later.
Su Yuan stood up, opened the door of room 6009, and reached out to rotate the last digit '9' of the room number one full circle.
This way, the original room 6009 became room 6006.
After completing this, Su Yuan retreated back into the room and waited quietly.
30 seconds later.
Su Yuan felt the slight vibration of the elevator.
Ten seconds later, a soft knocking sound came.
The knocking wasn't continuous, but paused briefly every two or three knocks.
Seeing this, Su Yuan immediately approached, gently knocked from inside in response to the person outside.
This knocking pattern was actually the secret signal between the contact Fusang person and the fleeing Fusang person.
Only when the signal matched would the other party enter.
If the signal was wrong or showed hesitation, this fleeing Fusang person would turn around and leave without hesitation.
At critical moments, he would even destroy that Tianshan snow lotus.
Click.
The door was opened.
Su Yuan looked outside the door.
Standing at the doorway was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance, completely unremarkable.
But Su Yuan knew that the other party was also a Great Warrior; otherwise, he couldn't have escaped from the northern Tianshan Mountains to Magic City while being pursued by Xia Country.
"Mr. Qi, you've worked hard along the journey."
Su Yuan welcomed him in, speaking fluent Fusang language.
As a cultivator who balanced both wisdom and comprehension dimensions, Su Yuan's learning ability was terrifying.
Even if he couldn't learn the complete Fusang language in a short time, memorizing some specific sentences was still effortless.
Welcoming the fleeing Fusang person in and saying 'Mr. Qi, you've worked hard along the journey' in Fusang language was also part of the plan devised by the gray mirror.
Su Yuan didn't need to specifically learn Fusang language; he just had to say this Fusang sentence at the specific moment.
"For Chizuru's glory!"
The fleeing Fusang person Mr. Qi also spoke a Fusang sentence, his eyes faintly revealing fanaticism.
Then he looked at Su Yuan.
To ensure the Tianshan snow lotus was successfully sent back to Fusang, the fleeing Fusang person Mr. Qi didn't know any information about the contacts—who were they? How many were there? He knew nothing.
Otherwise, if he was caught by Xia Country's authorities and couldn't withstand special interrogation, wouldn't the contacts be exposed?
Although the fleeing Fusang person Mr. Qi believed he was absolutely loyal to the family and would never reveal the contacts' information even if facing death, the Chizuru family didn't trust this.
Simply put, the Chizuru family had already prepared for the scenario where Mr. Qi was caught and couldn't withstand interrogation, thus revealing the contacts.
So they were even less likely to inform him about the contacts' information.
The only thing Mr. Qi clearly knew was the contact signal.
......
"Lord Chizuru will remember your contribution."
Su Yuan nodded and spoke.
The Lord Chizuru here referred to that Great Yin-Yang Master Chizuru Ichiyo of the Chizuru family.
Next.
The two exchanged some more conversation.
They chatted about hometown, about family, about clan matters, and even some insignificant trivial matters.
Su Yuan naturally responded correctly to everything without arousing any suspicion from Mr. Qi.
"Mr. Kawashiro, I hope we can spend the next cherry blossom festival in our hometown together."
Mr. Qi said seriously. Through their brief exchange, he found that the Chizuru Kawashiro before him matched his temperament and worldview extremely well, almost like a long-lost soulmate.
If he didn't have a mission, he would have asked Su Yuan which generation of the Chizuru family he belonged to.
Mr. Qi had been away from the family for too long.
"Mr. Qi, official business comes first. Lord Chizuru is still waiting!"
Su Yuan changed the topic, speaking seriously to Mr. Qi.
During their conversation, Su Yuan had randomly made up a name for himself: Chizuru Kawashiro.
"Yes, official business comes first."
Mr. Qi nodded, also understanding that catching up could wait until after successfully sending the snow lotus back.
Realizing this, Mr. Qi opened the black sports bag he had brought in and took out a metal briefcase from inside.
The metal briefcase was quite small, about twenty centimeters in length and width, and was solemnly pushed toward Su Yuan by Mr. Qi.
"Mr. Kawashiro, that snow lotus is inside here. The family knows the password; just send it back."
Mr. Qi briefly introduced the briefcase to Su Yuan.
The interior of the briefcase contained a self-destruct mechanism that could destroy the Tianshan snow lotus inside once activated.
This was also the Chizuru family's final plan—if they truly couldn't transport the snow lotus back, they would destroy it.
"Understood."
Su Yuan nodded, accepting the metal briefcase.
Seeing this, Mr. Qi heaved a deep sigh of relief in his heart.
Handing the snow lotus to the contact person meant his mission was completed.
From beginning to end, Mr. Qi never had any suspicion about Su Yuan's true identity.
Because from the moment he entered Yuan'an Hotel, everything had proceeded according to plan.
The room number was correct, the signal matched, his conversation with Su Yuan had no issues, and even his verbal probing received perfect responses.
One could say that if someone jumped out now claiming Su Yuan wasn't the family's contact person, Mr. Qi wouldn't believe it.
If Su Yuan wasn't the contact person, then who was?
"Mr. Qi, be careful on your journey ahead."
Su Yuan said.
"I will."
Mr. Qi stood up and turned to walk out the door.
After Mr. Qi left, Su Yuan closed the door.
He then picked up the metal briefcase, went to the room window, and flipped out.
Outside room 6009's window was a street.
At this current time, there weren't many people on the street, and the few who were there wouldn't be looking in Su Yuan's direction.
This was also part of the plan devised by the gray mirror—to leave the hotel by flipping out the window.
Two minutes later.
Su Yuan was already far from Yuan'an Hotel.
"Tianshan snow lotus?"
Su Yuan looked at the metal briefcase in his hand.
The metal briefcase was exceptionally exquisite, made from special alloy, and the method to open it was to input the correct password.
Besides this, the metal briefcase couldn't be opened in any other way. Using violent means? That would only trigger the self-destruct mechanism inside the briefcase.
"Password..."
Su Yuan looked at the metal briefcase, a smile appearing on his face.
If it were any other method of opening the briefcase, Su Yuan might have needed to put in some effort.
Even if it were just a simple iron lock, Su Yuan would have to be careful, worried about affecting the Tianshan snow lotus inside.
But a password? Before Su Yuan, it was as if it didn't exist.
