In reality, among the top ten figures, Liu Zixuan only knew nine. It was Crazy Zhou who told him. When Liu Zixuan asked who the tenth person was, Crazy Zhou just shook his head and said with a smile that based on Liu Zixuan's abilities, he wouldn't encounter that terrifying guy.
The remaining nine figures were the Great Sage, Er Zhong, Sister An San, Qin Si, the Fifth, Young Master Liu, Madam Seven, Ba Liang, and Luo Laojiu.
These nine people, after coming to the Celestial Capital, Liu Zixuan had more or less inquired about them.
The Great Sage and Er Zhong were both from East City; they hadn't appeared in the public eye for two years now. Sister An San was the queen of Yuquan Bar. The Fifth was a surname; Liu Zixuan hadn't found out the specific name, but it was heard that he often hung around various entertainment venues, full of worldly airs.
A person like that naturally wouldn't come to see Liu Zixuan dressed in Radiant Armor. Young Master Liu was a person from the Upper Three Sects, constantly traveling to various places in the Star Sea, busy to no end. He certainly wouldn't come to find Liu Zixuan for a chat.
As for Madam Seven and Ba Liang, no one had seen them for a long time. When asking some people, they would always say that they mostly stayed in their enterprises and didn't go out easily.
And Luo Laojiu was a rather legendary figure. The largest Martial Arts Academy in the Celestial Capital was run by him, and he had set up a martial hall in both East and West cities of the Celestial Capital.
Based on the above, the image of the man in the Radiant Armor in front of him matched that of the Qin Si that wasn't mentioned yet.
Rumor had it in the Celestial Capital that Lord Qin Si used to be a scholar, staying up all night studying astronomy and geography, well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. In modern terms, he would be someone at the genius-level!
However, this person had a quirk; he loved Radiant Armor! There was no modern clothing in his wardrobe, mostly Huang Dynasty attire, including the hand-held items, and the furniture in his home was almost all antiques!
Liu Zixuan carefully examined the man in Radiant Armor in front of him. The hand-held item's gloss was dim, clearly from years of play. The green thumb ring was eye-catching; it was of excellent quality and certainly of great value.
Plus, with that unique Radiant Armor, Liu Zixuan had already determined this person's identity.
He then smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Lord Qin Si, who knows the history of the Celestial Capital best and occasionally competes in literary and artistic skills with figures from all sectors, right?"
"Hahahaha!"
The man in Radiant Armor suddenly laughed heartily twice. "It's being said outside that the one who killed Old Dog Jin was just a reckless youngster in his early twenties with some skills but no wisdom and strategy."
"Seeing it today, just with your insight, you've slapped those people in the face hard!"
"Lord Qin Si overestimates me."
Qin Si didn't make things difficult for Liu Zixuan, so Liu Zixuan also appeared composed.
"Truly, talented people appear in every generation," Qin Si pocketed the hand-held item with a smile and said, "Since you're not coming out to talk with me, how about we talk here instead?"
"It's my honor to chat with a distinguished person like you!"
Liu Zixuan spoke with tact. He used the words 'distinguished person' to highlight Qin Si's status, but with a simple 'you', he also placed himself on the same level with Qin Si.
Qin Si, in essence, was a man of letters. His speech was gentle and elegant, and his behavior was not rough but rather gave off a very congenial feeling.
For beating around the bush, he naturally understood better than anyone, and he understood the meaning behind Liu Zixuan's words.
He then said, "Little divine doctor, there's no need for hostility towards me. I'm here today just purely to have a chat with you."
"Listening with great interest!" Liu Zixuan waved to Luo Xi, "Serve some tea for Lord Qin Si!"
Luo Xi had a face full of displeasure towards Qin Si, pouting as she went to brew tea on the side. The tea was inferior, and the water was old, not too warm nor too cold when placed before Qin Si.
Qin Si accepted the teacup without getting angry, smiled, and said, "The little divine doctor's girlfriend has quite a unique personality, well-matched with you!"
"You're flattering me. Let's get to the main topic." Liu Zixuan said.
Qin Si nodded, "I came this time with two matters, two questions. May I ask the first question?"
Liu Zixuan nodded. Although amiable, chatting with someone accustomed to convoluted wording was indeed somewhat taxing.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Celestial Capital?" This time, he went straight to the point, directly asking Liu Zixuan's intentions without any small talk.
Liu Zixuan leaned back in the chair with his arms crossed and smiled meaningfully, "It's actually not a big deal, just looking for a place and an item!"
"But for seeking an item, why make such a big commotion?" Qin Si said meaningfully, "The little divine doctor should know the rules of the Celestial Capital, right?"
"Of course, I know, just that if you take action against any forces or families here, other forces will join together to attack and reject you!"
Liu Zixuan paused and then smiled, "But not everything has to be done by the rules. First, it was the Jin family that provoked me."
"Although I'm a small figure, even a clay figurine has a bit of temper, let alone a living person like me. If no one offends me, I won't offend them, but if someone offends me, then I can only destroy them!"
"Such an attitude—if someone offends me, I will destroy them!" Qin Si clapped his hands, "Then you must know why Old Dog Jin had that position, right?"
"To be a watchdog for you, right?" Liu Zixuan spread his hands, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly. It's just the truth!"
Qin Si was taken aback, obviously not expecting Liu Zixuan to speak so directly, and made an awkward smile, "Crude words but the truth, since you know, let's discuss this first matter!"
"Currently, a few of us have discussed, and since Old Dog Jin is dead, someone needs to step up to take his place..."
"Do you think that since I've made it so clear, I would become your scapegoat? Be a watchdog?"
Liu Zixuan pulled a cigarette from his pocket, took a few puffs, and amidst the swirling smoke, he smiled and said, "Lord Qin Si, I don't care how others do things, nor do I care how you big figures of the Celestial Capital do things, but I, Liu Zixuan, always act according to my conscience!"
"It's impossible for me to collaborate with you, and if you choose to deal with me because of this, go ahead. If I dared to do those things, I dared to face any consequences!"
After Liu Zixuan finished these words, Qin Si's expression immediately changed, and it wasn't into anger or fury, but rather a look of appreciation.
At the same time, he had some fundamental change in his view of this young man. He initially thought, just as the rumors suggested, but from this brief conversation, he realized this young man was genuinely not simple!
Of course, that admiration was fleeting, and he immediately showed a solemn expression, asking word by word, "Do you know that offending all of us simultaneously could lead to a very miserable end?"
