Male Sword Immortal in a Matriarchal World - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Buying Information

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hello? Chu Qing, this is the first time you’re calling me… Tell me, why are you looking for me?”

Ye Chenxi smiled brightly. Chu Qing could not help but feel a little awkward. He began to regret taking the initiative to make this call.

“I’d like to get some information. Do you know anyone in that area?”

“Yes… I do. I’ll send it to you. Tell her that you’re with Sis Ye.”

“… Okay.”

After a while, two messages came in one after another. The first was the person’s contact information and the other…

Your bank account has received 100,000 yuan.

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ye Chenxi meant. He did not expect Ye Chenxi to be so thoughtful. She knew that he was a poor student and did not have much money on hand. Information was often the most expensive.

At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly realized something… He had been in this world for so long, but he still seemed to be poor!

Although he was also a poor person when he was in the cultivation continent, he could rob to survive in that world!

Chu Qing rubbed his head. In the beginning, he didn’t want to get too involved in this world, but things didn’t go as he wished. The longer he stayed, the deeper his connection with this world became.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to get some money.

As Chu Qing thought about it, he dialed the number.

“Hello? Who is this?”

A lazy voice came from the other end of the line as if the person was still asleep.

“Hi… Ye Chenxi introduced me to you. I want to buy some information.”

Chu Qing was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this information seller to be a woman.

“Alright, I’ll see you at Crescent Bar at twelve tonight.”

“Wait, wait a minute. How am I going to—”

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, the call was hung up.

How mysterious…

At the other end of the line.

“Yawn… Why did I get a call so early in the morning…”

The girl rubbed her hair and her eyes were blurry. Her house was in a mess. There were takeout boxes and parcels bought online everywhere as if these things were all she had in her life.

The girl forced her eyes open and took the laptop.

“Let me see who this guy is. Sis Ye actually got someone to contact me for once…”

As the girl quickly operated the computer in front of her, Chu Qing’s profile picture was pulled out, with all his personal information at the side.

Seeing Chu Qing’s photo, the girl’s eyes lit up.

“Oh, you’re quite good-looking. Then I have to dress up properly.”

At this moment, her phone beeped twice. She had received a message.

Ye Chenxi sent the text. “Hua’er, this is my man. Take it easy.”

“Huh? How stingy!”

Hua’er sat up and her eyes darted around. She chuckled evilly as if she was thinking about something.

…

11:30 pm.

After confirming that his parents were asleep, Chu Qing quietly got up from the bed.

As for his sister’s room, he did not even have the desire to listen. It would be awkward if he heard something like “Take off your pants, little brother.” again.

He opened the window and jumped lightly. The height of the fourth floor was nothing to him, and he landed lightly.

Unexpectedly, it was the Crescent Bar again. Previously, he had bumped into Ye Chenxi here.

As soon as he entered, he heard someone calling his name.

“Chu Qing, over here!”

Chu Qing turned around and saw a loli with two ponytails waving her hands and calling out to him.

Is she… the one selling me information?

In his impression, intelligence dealers usually wore black coats and black hats with the brim lowered, often whispering, “Brother, what information do you want?”

But what’s going on now?! The intelligence dealer is actually an innocent-looking Loli?

“Hello…”

Chu Qing walked over and reached out to her.

“My name is… Chen Huahua. You can call me Hua’er.”

Chen Huahua suddenly leaned over and whispered into Chu Qing’s ear.

The tingling voice made Chu Qing’s entire body go limp.

Fortunately, Chu Qing’s willpower was very strong. He nodded and sat opposite her.

“Well, let’s talk business…”

“Would you mind having two women at the same time?”

Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Huahua. Chen Huahua stood up and walked to Chu Qing’s side before sitting down generously.

Chu Qing looked like he was shocked.

“Hehe, I can tell that you’re a virgin. I’m just joking with you, little brother.”

“Oh…”

Chu Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and took a sip of the fruit juice in front of him.

“What’s your relationship with Ye Chenxi? If you’re not her lover, then be my boyfriend.”

Pfft!

Chu Qing spat out the juice he had just drunk.

“Ahem, um, I’m here to buy information…”

Chu Qing said word by word.

“Oh… Alright then. What information do you want to buy?”

Chen Huahua looked a little disappointed. Her fair legs swayed under her long dress.

“It’s information about Tang Ziyan. You should have heard of her, right?”

“The one you openly confessed to on the field?! Is she your girlfriend?”

“She’s not!”

Chu Qing resisted the urge to crush the cup in his hand.

Who exactly is this Chen Huahua? Where is the innocent Loli? Why is she so scheming?!

Speaking of which, how did she know so much? It was one thing to know his appearance from the beginning, but now, she clearly knew a lot about him. She probably did some investigation on him.

“Oh… Hehe, can I chase you then?”

“Information…!”

Chu Qing gritted his teeth and said word by word.

“Oh…”

Chen Huahua continued to lower her head and played with her fingers, saying: “Tang Ziyuan’s large family has a company as its main body, and many big companies in Jinmen City have the Tang family as their backer.”

“Recently, I heard that… the Tang family’s industrial chain isn’t doing well, so their financial situation isn’t great.”

“The Li family proposed a marriage alliance with the Tang family, offering to marry off Li Youwei to them. This would enable them to provide some support to the Tang family.”

“Marry Tang Ziyan of the Tang family!”

Chu Qing exclaimed.

Chen Huahua took a sip of fruit juice and continued.

“That’s what you wanted to ask, right?”

“Yes.”

Chu Qing nodded. He didn’t expect the Tang family to have such a powerful background. Why hadn’t he heard her mention it in his previous life? She probably didn’t want to put him under too much pressure…

“Any other questions?”

“Yes, there’s another problem.”

Chu Qing took a deep breath and continued, “I want some information about alchemy.”
