Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

Chapter 199 Exchange of Information

"Senior brother."

Wen Jin looked at Xie Chengfeng in the shadow transmission talisman and greeted him.

Xie Chengfeng was sitting upright on a chair, and it seemed that he had expected Wen Jin to contact him at this moment.

However, his gaze followed Wen Jin's surroundings before finally landing on him. He raised his eyebrows, a rare gesture: "Where's Ji Yunmiao?"

"He's in seclusion refining medicine," Wen Jin explained. "Does Senior Brother, the Pavilion Master of the Kongtong Valley Auction Pavilion, know about this?"

Without waiting for Xie Chengfeng to answer, Wen Jin continued, "The Auction Pavilion's owner, Xia Zhilan, is keen on refining medicine, but he has been unable to reach a higher level of spiritual realm, so he found Ah Miao to help him refine pills."

"A Miao diagnosed that day that he was poisoned."

"Yesterday we went to the banquet hosted by the Separatist faction and Wudang Mountain. Boss Xia was poisoned again at the banquet. After returning from the banquet, A Miao prepared himself and then went into seclusion."

Wen Jin continued to speak, and Xie Chengfeng listened carefully without interrupting.

"It seems we were poisoned at the banquet and nearly fell victim to it. However, we discovered that Wudang Mountain seems to know our identities, but the leader of the separatist faction seems unaware..."

"It seems that the separatist faction and Wudang Immortal Mountain are not on good terms."

"But the leader of the separatist faction is a bit unintelligent. Brother, have you heard what your people say about him?"

Wen Jin really asked the question this time. After he finished speaking, he frowned slightly and waited for Xie Chengfeng's answer.

Xie Chengfeng nodded upon hearing this. "The leader of the separatist faction is called Deng Lang. He's a straightforward and passionate person, without any ulterior motives. His cultivation is considered extremely strong, so he has a group of supporters in Kongtong Valley who are willing to follow his decision."

"The Lord of Kongtong Valley commented on this man: he's not suitable for leadership, but he's the first choice for generals."

As he spoke, Wen Jin could clearly feel a sigh of relief, and he smiled slightly, "Junior Sister, there's no need to worry too much about this guy. By now, the people of Wudang Mountain should consider the impact of taking action against Penglai and won't start any more trouble for the time being."

"Yeah." Wen Jin replied, "Last time, Senior Brother deduced the reason for the split, and Xia Zhilan also thought so. I guess it's almost right."

"I will immediately write a letter to Penglai Island and inquire about the whereabouts of the Kongtong Seal." Xie Chengfeng continued.

"Oh, right." Xie Chengfeng suddenly thought of something: "Last time you asked me to find out about Xia Zhilan's brother, our people have already found him according to the clues you gave us."

……

"Master Wen Feng asked me to come here, is there something you want to tell me?"

After receiving the news from Wen Jin, Xia Zhilan put down the things he was doing halfway and hurried back.

He was just about to get busy with the Xu family's affairs. In the morning, Wen Jin handed Xu Hanrou over to him, along with the matter of his poisoning. These things were a mess and it was really tricky, making him a little anxious and angry.

But he did not show this anger in front of Wen Jin.

Wen Jin noticed his anxiety at a glance. She gave Xia Zhilan a cup of the tea that Ji Yunmiao had brewed this morning, and motioned him to drink the water first.

A lot of mind-clearing herbs were used in the process of frying this tea. Xia Zhilan quickly swallowed it and felt a coolness passing through his throat, which miraculously suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Then he heard Wen Jin say, "We found your brother Xia Shulan."

His heart suddenly started beating wildly, and his hand holding the teacup became a little unsteady.

"If you don't have anything important, Senior Brother will send someone to take you to see him."

Wen Jin took the teacup from his hand and spoke slowly.
