CH 214 Chengxi Dark Market
*****
Xiao Feng was already in his study in the central pavilion and reading a book while on his desk were several thick books.
"According to the records of all kinds of poisons, there was one poison that went undetected and escaped the testing of the silver acupuncture needles and it was the poison Xuji made of red bees and blue scorpions. But the poison was not sold freely" Xiao Feng muttered then put down the book.
"Sun Xie" call Xiao Feng. Shortly after, Sun Xie came in.
"Sir Master!" sun Xie said in a salute
"Sun Xie mobilized people to find out things related to Xuji's poison from either the maker or the seller and where it was sold" Xiao Feng ordered.
"Okay Young Master" Sun Xie said and left the room. Xiao Feng also got up and walked out of his study. When the exit coincided with Feng Xi who was also walking.
"Hi black space,,," greeted Feng Xi with a smile.
"Hi Xixi, what are you doing here?"
"Hey, have you forgotten that I will always be here, why are you asking such stupid questions" Feng Xi said, raising his eyebrows. Xiao Feng only grimaced while scratching the back of his head which was not itchy.
"Follow me, I want to ask you something" Xiao Feng said then walked towards the backyard, the girl followed Xiao Feng.

"Hmm so your man who was yesterday accused of theft was found poisoned to death" Feng Xi said after Xiao Feng told him all the events.
"True, it was only a prediction and the healer could not deduce because the silver needle could not detect the poison, but from the characteristics and symptoms it was likely that Chen Zhou was poisoned" Xiao Feng said.
"What poison can't be detected by silver needles?" asked Feng Xi.
"Xuji's poison from red bees and blue scorpions, odorless tasteless and colorless, have you ever heard of it?" xiao Feng and Feng Xi asked just shaking their heads.
"I've been traveling in the world of cultivators for a long time and just found out that there is such a poison" Feng Xi said. Xiao Feng also thought of where the poison came from. Shortly thereafter Sun Xie appeared with a small book.
"Master, what you ordered is done" Sun Xie said as he handed over the book.
"You work so fast" Xiao Feng said with a smile and then received the book and opened it, Sun Xie after giving the book back to its place.
"Hmm apparently the poison Xuji was secretly made by the Huangzhou imperial family and few people know" Xiao Feng said.
"This means it has something to do with the people involved with the empire"
"It's probably true, and this poison was sold by a mysterious black market healer in the town of Chengxi, a small town on the border of Huangzhou and Youngzhou. This healer only serves known people and does not accept strangers" Xiao Feng said, closing the book.
"Dark market Chengxi?"
"Right, do you know anything?"
"If it's right there I have an acquaintance to infiltrate the black market" Feng Xi said. Xiao Feng smiled happily at her.
"It's good, then we should move now" Xiao Feng said as he stood up.
"Eehh, wait a minute" Feng Xi held Xiao Feng's hand.
"Why?" asked Xiao Feng
"The dark market will start operating when it's late at night, during the day like this the market is not open" said Feng Xi.
"Isn't that good, if we leave now at the longest we are only an hour up and we can meet your acquaintances first to find more information" Xiao Feng said.
"Hehe you are right too, why am I suddenly stupid" Feng Xi said with a shy smile, Xiao Feng just rolled his eyes lazily.

This afternoon Xiao Feng and Feng Xi flew towards Chengxi city, a city where there was a black market related to Xuji poison. This time he was accompanied by Qing Long and Bai Hu, they flew quickly and for about an hour they had reached the city and it was almost dark.
They came down and lined up to enter the city, after being checked and paying their taxes, into the city and headed straight for the black market.
"Xixi what is still a long time he" Xiao Feng said. They sat in a roadside diner in front of the black market.
"Greetings Miss Feng" the man said as he sat in front of Xiao Feng and Feng Xi.
"Hail Mr. Rou long time no see" said Feng Xi.
"Yes, really long time no see, last time meet you still make trouble in our village, haha in that battle we suffered a big loss, ohh yes who are these three people? said the man called Mr. Rou.
"My name is Feng Xi from the Black Crow pavilion and this is Bai Hu and Qing Long my team" Xiao Feng said. Mr. Rou was surprised after hearing that.
"You are Hei Feng Xi?" said Mr. Rou while looking at Feng Xi then he took out a paper from behind his shirt, apparently it was a sketch of people's faces. Mr. Rou looked at Xiao Feng then looked at the paper sketch. Feng Xi glanced silently at the paper.
"Why is this a little different?" said Mr. Rou while showing the paper to Feng Xi, the beautiful girl immediately snatched the paper from Mr. Rou's hand and folded it.
"I can guarantee that he is Hei Feng Xi"
Xiao Feng took the paper out of Feng Xi's hand quickly then opened it. Seen a sketch of the face of a fat man with a large mole on his right cheek. Xiao Feng and Bai Hu chuckled at the picture.
"May I ask, this is made of whom?" xiao Feng said to Mr. Rou.
"First, Miss Feng...."
"Ehem,, ahemm"
Master Rou's words were stopped by Feng Xi who was pretending to cough, the girl then took the glass containing wine and drank it. Xiao Feng only smiled then showed the paper to Feng Xi.
"Do I look like this in your eyes?" said Xiao Feng. Feng Xi immediately took the paper and put it under his shirt.
"Don't you look that handsome, if you don't like sketching yourself"
Mr. Rou laughed at her "You guys like this it seems that Miss Feng has found someone to like, do you not like Prince Xiao Fe anymore..." yet had time to finish Feng Xi quickly shut his mouth. Xiao Feng saw that hearing Mr. Rou's words was a little surprised he was not stupid to be able to guess what Mr. Rou said.
"Xixi seems to like me" Xiao Feng muttered in his heart, he saw Feng Xi who was slightly flushing her face.
"Mr Rou, we should discuss the important matters first" Feng Xi said as he let go of his hand.
"Well what can I help you with?"
"I heard this black market is hidden but why is it so crowded?" feng Xi asked as he looked at the people who started arriving wearing masks.
"It used to be a closed market but for a long time the palace did not pay attention to it, now the market transacts openly, but must wear a mask for the secrets of sellers and buyers" Rou explained.
"Then does Mr Rou have a way? I heard that the seller here only serves those who are familiar and do not serve foreigners" Xiao Feng said
"If you want to enter must follow the rules of this black market" said Mr. Rou while removing a mask.
"You see these masks, some have black lines that indicate that they are entering the market for the first time, then there is the silver mask signifies that he has long transacted and recommended by the last acquaintance is a gold mask that indicates that the old customer and the average rich person come from a clan or nobility big" Mr. Rou explained at length. Xiao Feng and Feng Xi nodded in understanding.
"It looks like you've been living well for a few years" Feng Xi said.
"Of course, we're dealing with the black market, but wait a minute Miss, thieves also have rules, we've been treated like never before" said Mr. Rou, apparently he was a little frightened considering that he and his group were beaten up by Feng Xi because of their actions as mercenaries.
"Hmmm good, we need four gold masks can you set them up?" asked Feng Xi. Mr. Rou nodded.
"For Miss Feng I will do my best, you guys wait a minute I won't be long and come back soon" said Mr. Rou as he stood up then he immediately left the restaurant. Xiao Feng smiled looking at her.
"You have a name here too"
"Of course,,"
"Curtain, arrogant!"
"While waiting for him, I'm hungry"
"Hhhh well, you'll order whatever you want!"
