Stone City Intelligence

Qin Ming did not hesitate and walked straight into the shop.

Inside, the shop was a different world; five Martial Artists were sitting there, quietly organizing Materials.

Seeing the door open, everyone looked over.

"Sect Master?" A Young Man paused, then stood up in surprise.

"Sit." Qin Ming waved his hand, signaling the others who wanted to rise and salute to stay seated.

However, their eyes remained fixed on Qin Ming, wanting to memorize his appearance.

They had always been curious about this legendary Sect Master, and meeting him now left them astonished.

This Sect Master was truly too young.

"You have worked hard. I have come here mainly to ask about intelligence," Qin Ming said.

The Young Man who had just called out "Sect Master" immediately stepped forward to report, "This is the latest intelligence we have collected during this period. The intelligence on the Shen Family and Chen Family is very detailed." As he spoke, he handed the intelligence to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming waved his hand. "There is too much intelligence, and I don't have time to read it. Tell me about the personnel structure of the Shen Family and Chen Family, and the relationship between them."

"Yes." The Young Man put down the intelligence, gathered his thoughts, and said, "The Chen Family has two Martial Kings. The Chen Family Patriarch has a son named Chen Nan. He also has two daughters; the eldest daughter has already married out, while the younger daughter is still unmarried. The Chen Family Patriarch dotes on his younger daughter very much. Several big families have wanted to marry the Chen Family's little princess, but the Chen Family Patriarch has rejected them all."

Qin Ming nodded. "Continue."

"Yes." Qin Ming's face was expressionless, and the Young Man did not know if he was satisfied, so he continued, "The Shen Family has thirteen Martial Kings. Their Patriarch has three sons. Apart from the youngest son, Shen Ba, the eldest and second sons are both very promising. However, according to our investigation, Shen Ba is not that simple; it is very likely that he is the most outstanding of the three sons. Also…"

"Wait…" Qin Ming interrupted. "Why do you think Shen Ba is not simple?"

The Young Man thought for a moment and said, "Disciples of big families generally do not immerse themselves in wine and women, and Shen Ba's behavior is too abnormal. If he truly had no future at all, then it would be normal for him to immerse himself in wine and women. However, Shen Ba's Talent is actually decent; while not outstanding, it is no worse than the average Family disciple. This is also where I am puzzled."

Big families have their own upbringing. Disciples of big families have all kinds of women from a young age, and very few are unable to extricate themselves from such indulgences.

Even if they wanted to be a good-for-nothing, someone in the Family would keep them in check. That is why the Young Man found it strange.

"Either he truly likes wine and women, or he is hiding very deeply and is a ruthless character." Seeing that Qin Ming did not speak, the Young Man gritted his teeth and said.

"I understand." Qin Ming smiled. "You have collected the intelligence well; I am very satisfied. Now, give me a detailed report on the Chen Family's younger daughter."

Hearing Qin Ming's praise, the few of them were very happy. The Young Man immediately found the intelligence regarding the Chen Family's younger daughter from that pile of Materials and handed it to Qin Ming.

"Not bad." After reading the contents of the intelligence, Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction. "You can abandon this place now and return to the Sect. You won't need to collect intelligence here in the future."

The five stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, Sect Master."

Although they did not know why the Sect Master suddenly did not want intelligence from Stone City anymore, since the Sect Master had ordered it, they must execute it regardless of whether they understood it or not. No matter how hard their preliminary work had been, they should now put down the intelligence collection and prepare to leave.
