Can I Really Change Things? (ON HOLD)

Chapter . 14

It was just before five in the morning and TaiFeng was sneaking out to meet Xue Yang.

Luckily she still had Qingheng-jun's jade token with her, so getting pass the guards at the front gate was easy.

She had arrived at YueYang Town at quarter past five, and made her way to the abandoned house.

"Xue Yang, it's me. I found out something huge that's sure to bring the YueYang Chang Sect to ruin." She said knocking on the door.

Immediately Xue Yang opened the door, almost pulling it off of its hinges.

"What did you find out? Also do you have any more of that candy from yesterday?" He asked.

"Sect Leader Chang had commmited a triple murder. Technically it's a quadruple murder, as one of the victims was pregnant." She said.

"Right now, we need to find Shangguan Zhu. He's an accomplice and a key witness."

"Well, then what are we waiting for."

The two walked and asked for directions until they found a decent looking apothecary named Shangguan Medicine.

The two went in and were greeted by a clerk.

"Hello, customers, what can I do for you?"

"Do you know where Shangguan Zhu is? I have something I need to discuss with him."She said as kindly as she could, as not to arouse suspicion.

"Ah, you have business with the boss. He's round back, I'll go get him, please wait in the lounge." He said as gestured to a small closed off space.

As they sat down Xue Yang looked around.

"From what you told me on the way here, Shangguan Zhu was just an assistant healer, so there's no way he could afford a place like this."
He said.
"Also, I want candy."

"What are you, six? Just wait. My candy, my rules."She huffed.

"My knife, your life."

"Uggh, fine." She said throwing a bag at Xue Yang ,who caught it with a satisfied smirk.

Just then a man in his thirties with a scar on his cheek and his hair in a topknot with a wooden hairpin stepped in.

"Can I help you two? The clerk said that one of you has business with me."He said.

TaiFeng took off her hat to reveal her face.
"My name's Qian TaiFeng, but you probably know me better as Yuzhao Long."

"Yuzhao Long! Do what I owe the honor of meeting an esteemed cultivator such as yourself?" He said, bowing low.

"Are you perhaps in need of medicine?"

"Actually I'm in need of information and I was wondering if you can help me. "She smiled.

"Ah, please then have some tea and I will tell you what I know." He said pouring her a cup.

She politely took a sip.
"This tea is exquisite. Mellow and fragrant."

"That's Bilochuan Tea from the far north. So what kind of information do you need."

"I'll be frank with you, do you know the reason behind my title?"

"I only know rumours. Apparently you have an premonitions
that allow you to see into the future."

"That's right. Meaning that I know about your involvement in the deaths of Sect Leader Chang, Young Master Chang and Madam Chang."

The man dropped the cup and broke out in tears.

"It wasn't like I had a choice! I was poor and Chang Li Huang offered me a huge sum of money. My mother was sick at the time and she needed expensive treatment." He sobbed.
