Chapter 1239 Family

The rumor about the secret treasure house of Lingzhen Pavilion has been around for a long time.

If this is the secret that Aohen revealed, it would only disappoint everyone and expose his ignorance.

Lin Fan saw Aohen's confident look, and combined with the information he had revealed before, he felt that there must be something else going on: "This is not the secret you said."

Du Xingyu also felt that Ao Hen only spoke a few words each time, leaving them to vent their anger, but he didn't say much of the news he really wanted to reveal, so he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Ao, please let us save our brains and just tell us directly. If we keep guessing, we won't even finish our meal before the restaurant closes!"

"Lin Fan still understands me." Ao Hen looked at Lin Fan with a grin, and shook Du Xingyu's hand off, "Okay, I won't keep you in suspense."

Aohen was initially concerned about the news about the Lingzhen Pavilion Treasure Protection Team because of his recent experience. In this speech, there are only two parties involved - the planner and Lingzhen Pavilion.

He never expected that a third party would join in.

"Wangchuan Boat passed the message to Lingzhen Pavilion?" Du Xingyu scratched his ears and shook his head, as if he wanted to pour out the contents of his ears. "Wangchuan Boat? To Lingzhen Pavilion?"

One is a brothel, the other is a treasure shop. Although both are industry leaders, no one would ever link the two parties together.

And didn’t we just say that it was Fuxianglou that was secretly collecting intelligence?
They also speculated that Lingzhen Pavilion gave some instructions to Fuxianglou, and Fuxianglou then instructed those children to steal the disciple orders of Changtianmen.

"So..." Shen Xiuyuan hesitated, "This Wangchuan Boat is also collecting intelligence?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Ao Hen slapped his thigh and laughed. "In that brothel, with fine wine and beautiful women, the atmosphere of conversation is much more relaxed than Fu Xiang Lou. Moreover, that place is a brothel, and the people it receives include all walks of life. In terms of intelligence gathering, it is far from comparable to Fu Xiang Lou."

"It's not surprising that Wangchuanfang collects intelligence," Lin Fan said thoughtfully, "but the fact that it was able to deliver this information to Lingzhen Pavilion in a timely manner means that they... have reached a cooperative relationship? Or have they always maintained a cooperative relationship?"

Lin Fan thought of the incense burner he saw behind the entrance screen when he first went to Wangchuan Boat.

At that time, she felt that the scene looked familiar, and the burning spices inside also looked familiar to her.

Now if you think about it more specifically, isn't it exactly the same as the arrangement of the incense burner and the spices in the hall of Lingzhen Pavilion?

How likely is it that a brothel that makes a living by selling cosmetics and a jeweler's shop that piles up gold and silver have the same taste and use the same spices?
"Or..." Lin Fan raised his eyes, "Are there any closer connections between them?"

"What connection?" Mu Jingjing asked.

Aohen smiled with his eyes curved, encouraging: "Go on, make a bold guess!"

Still bolder? Lin Fan simply made up his mind: "Perhaps these two families... are from the same family and share the same master?"

"What?!" Du Xingyu and Mu Jingjing screamed.

Shen Xiuyuan also widened his eyes: "Wangchuanfang and Lingzhen Pavilion are one and the same?"

But considering the ostentatious architectural style of Wangchuan Boat and its seemingly money-conscious behavior, it seems reasonable to say that Lingzhen Pavilion is behind it.

"I won't go into the details," Ao Hen saw that Lin Fan had revealed the truth, so he stopped pretending. "After many follow-up investigations, I can basically confirm that Wangchuan Fang is a subordinate organization of Lingzhen Pavilion, and so is Fuxianglou." Although Ao Hen looked unreliable, with his high Jindan cultivation, no one really took him for a fool. He said that he was basically certain, which ruled out the possibility that he was deliberately deceived and the possibility that he deliberately deceived everyone present. This matter can be regarded as a foregone conclusion.

"What?!" Du Xingyu almost cried out, "There's also Fuxianglou?"

"If that's the case," Yu Sinian pondered, "Lingzhen Pavilion and Wangchuan Fang use Fuxianglou's dishes wherever there is Fuxianglou. I thought it was just because Fuxianglou's dishes were good... but it turns out there's this reason as well."

"No wonder Lingzhen Pavilion is always well-informed," Shen Xiuyuan sighed. "Before, I thought they were just able to draw inferences from one instance to another and had a wide range of contacts... So it turns out that Fuxiang Tower and Wangchuan Boat were secretly feeding them information?"

"The Wangchuan Boat should be able to deliver more than just news. The girls in it can subtly convert customers to Lingzhen Pavilion. They can even be considerate of what customers want, and Lingzhen Pavilion can cater to their preferences in a targeted manner." Lin Fan said, "Fuxianglou... can certainly do that, but after all, it's not as convenient as the Wangchuan Boat."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Du Xingyu raised his hand to stop him. "If Wangchuanfang also belongs to Lingzhen Pavilion, then the thief who stole our token before... With such flexible connections, Wangchuanfang will have an easier time than Fuxianglou. So it's still Lingzhen Pavilion?"

Lin Fan shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it is Lingzhen Pavilion or not. There should be a superior employer. But if those kids do point to Lingzhen Pavilion in the end, it is hard to say whether this superior is just a mortal or from the fairy world."

"This can indeed be considered the secret of Lingzhen Pavilion," Yu Sinian waved his fan slowly, "but it seems that it is not as shocking as the location of Lingzhen Pavilion's treasure house."

For ordinary people, this is true, but it is not the case for Aohen!

In order to throw off the spies of Lingzhen Pavilion, he deliberately followed the old man from Taixu Palace around.

Finally, he got rid of him, but in the end, he found out that he had deliberately hidden in the Wangchuan Boat in order to confuse people, but he actually walked into a trap...

He could imagine how the people behind Lingzhen Pavilion laughed when they saw him paying money to Wangchuan Boat...

Fortunately, he never let his guard down. When he realized something was wrong, he pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and took himself out little by little.

It was truly a blessing from heaven that I met Lin Fan and the others again.

Joining up with them, I finally had a reasonable excuse to "wait" for my previous constant running around. Being with them would attract much less attention than being alone.

"That's right." Du Xingyu nodded. "After the shock, it doesn't seem to have much impact on us. Even if Fuxianglou is collecting intelligence, we should be careful when we go there to eat in the future and not talk about anything too confidential, right? We don't have to not go there at all, right?"

In Lin Fan's opinion, Lingzhen Pavilion is like a large commercial entity that has expanded its business scope. Information has always been closely related to profit. Lingzhen Pavilion can be so powerful now and dominate the two worlds, so it is impossible for it to be so pure.

Unless the other party takes the initiative to provoke her, she will only be wary of Lingzhen Pavilion and its affiliates.

I can't express my concerns openly, so I can only slander a number of shops from the perspective of stealing privacy and express my contempt for their behavior.

If he insisted on going with them, it would be impossible for the people of Changtianmen to ignore Aohen's wishes and insist on going to Fuxiang Tower, let alone Wangchuan Boat.

After dinner, Ao Hen silently followed everyone to the teleportation array. Only when he came out of the teleportation array in an unfamiliar town did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

There is definitely no mysterious Lingzhen Pavilion here, and there is no Wangchuan Boat where many talented people are produced.

Even if there is Fuxiang Tower, he is not afraid.
