Chapter 636: Missing the Small Cold Domain
"No, no..."
Cui Xuanzi shook his head repeatedly, a little unsure of Qin Sang’s intentions. Stroking his beard, he chuckled. "I would be overjoyed if the young lady were willing to join Five-Insect Sect. I just fear our humble sect is too crude to catch your eye."
Unexpectedly, Mute Girl stood up, walked over to Cui Xuanzi, and knelt down in a formal bow.
Qin Sang did not stop her. He let out a silent sigh.
Mute Girl was clever. She had already understood his meaning.
To acknowledge Cui Xuanzi as her master in front of Qin Sang was undoubtedly the best choice she could make. Her decisiveness was commendable.

After settling Mute Girl, Qin Sang got to the real matter at hand with Cui Xuanzi.
"Following your instructions, Senior, I contacted many friends and did everything I could to help you investigate. Unfortunately, most of them came up empty-handed..."
Cui Xuanzi looked somewhat embarrassed.
"I know a manager of a certain merchant guild. The origins of this guild are mysterious, and their business spans most of Xijiang. Their intelligence network is very extensive. According to him, in the past two centuries, only one Spiritual Infant has emerged from Xijiang, and that person only succeeded after leaving the region, betraying their sect, and joining a major sect outside. As for those in Xijiang who specialize in the Sword Dao, even among our witch race, they’re rare to begin with. Within Xijiang, there’s not a single individual matching your description. As for those beyond Xijiang, I can’t say for certain."
Qin Sang frowned inwardly. Senior Qingzhu had once been known as the Sword Devil in the Small Cold Domain, steeped in the Dao of Slaughter, with an exceptionally distinctive sword art. If he had ended up in Xijiang back then and revealed himself even once, it would have left an impression on someone.
