This was the very escort agency he had relied on during his rounds to establish contact with the intelligence network he inherited as part of his duties as a palace court judge.
It had been his first time using the agency, recommended to him by one of the workers at Gold Earth Bank, who had praised its exceptional service and reasonable pricing. Their endorsement had proven accurate, and Yang Qing had even struck up a friendship with the agency's founder, Bai Chen. A fourth-stage Palace Realm expert, who also coincidentally happened to cultivate an art related to the Frozen Serenity Scripture.
That scripture was one of the few mysteries he was researching because of its ties to the Ice Emerald Sect. Other than the kidnappings, the sect had been hunting down users of arts tied to the scripture for years, all so they could get their hands on their original copies. Yang Qing still didn't know why they needed it, or for whom.
