Han Yu’s voice dropped, his tone cold.
"Murong Xie’s hoarding spirit stones under the sect’s nose. Whatever he’s planning, this mine is a key resource. If we just let this slide, he’ll gain enough leverage to bribe his way into bigger influence—or worse."
"You want me to report it to my superiors," she guessed.
"No," Han Yu corrected. "I’ve been told that you work for an organization that specializes in a special task... destabilizing rivals."
Meng Jueyan’s lips curved faintly. She ws also a bit surprised that Han Yu knew she worked for the intelligence department, or at least something simialr to that. To her, as long as he didn’t know she was part of the Mist Eye Sect it was fine.
"You want us to do what we do best."
"Exactly. Leak it to a rival clan. Tip off a neutral sect. Or better yet—frame the Murong Clan for attempting to monopolize the resource without sharing tribute. Anything that forces the situation into public view. Anything that forces the Twin Leaf Peak Sect to act."
"And what do you want in return?"
Han Yu’s grin turned sly.
"Nothing. Consider it a gift. Or an offering... From one pawn of Elder Yi to another. If you succeed, you’ll be the first to hear about the next oppurtunity I stumble upon."
Meng Jueyan studied him for a long moment. "You’re dangerous."
