## Qiyu no. 126 **杀手不冷 (The Killer is Not Cold)**

Jiang Shu's Qiyu (Side-quest) starts around day 2 or day 3 of having him first employed in your house. When you enter your manor, the *Qiyu* screen will pop up and inform you that Jiang Shu had stayed within the manor for a reason. Pick up the quest to start the side-story.

When the player character talks to Jiang Shu and picks up the quest, he will approach you to ask if he can apply to community schools in Jinling under a different identity. Although the player asks him who is he helping, Jiang Shu is curt and asks the player's help with finding out how to sign up to community schools. The player character will head to the Confucius Temple to ask an acolyte about how to apply for the schools of Jinling. After a long process, the player character will come back to the manor to tell Jiang Shu.

After being told about the process of how to apply for schools, Jiang Shu will leave for the Ying Tianfu and the player character will follow him. Once there, Jiang Shu is seen talking to Li Shui to verify his legal residence. For a moment, Li Shui seems to recognize him and asks if he has seen him before, but Jiang Shu replies rudely and refuses to answer his question. When Li Shui tells Jiang Shu to come back with proof of his residency, Jiang Shu leaves for Gulou Street.

By the bridge of Gulou Street, Jiang Shu is seen talking to Wang Sao. It's during this chat that it is revealed that Jiang Shu had entrusted an unnamed, parentless child to Wang Sao. Wang Sao ends her rant by expressing worry over how she's going to enroll the child into school and how she cannot understand what Jiang Shu is thinking. It is also revealed that Jiang Shu has been sending Wang Sao money every month and promised her a comfortable life so long as she helped raise the child into adulthood. By the end of the conversation, it's made clear that Jiang Shu is signing up for community schools on behalf of the child.

After the conversation with Wang Sao, Jiang Shu goes to the Confucius Temple and hands the required materials to sign up for community schools. Shao Tianze tells Jiang Shu to check into Changle schools within the next month, but Jiang Shu is unhappy with the news and argues that the school that he should be assigned to should be Gulou School. It happens to be that the Gulou School is already full, but Shao Tianze offers to do Jiang Shu a favor if he pays a support fee. This leaves Jiang Shu speechless.

It's at this point that the player can decide if they want to help Jiang Shu or not.

When you chose to help Jiang Shu, the player character will meet up with Jiang Shu in the manor and offer him a special salary for how well the manor is being taken care of. Jiang Shu would be confused and even doubtful of the player's actions, but he accepts the extra salary. With the money pulled together, Jiang Shu pays the support fee to be guaranteed a spot in the registry of the Gulou School.

Back near the bridge in Gulou Street, Jiang Shu informs Wang Sao about the success of enrolling in the school and tells her to take the child the next month to check-in. After expressing relief, Wang Sao mentions "big brother Jiang (姜大哥)" and how he would be happy in heaven at the news. The following conversation implies heavily that the child that Wang Sao is fostering belongs to Jiang Shu's late older brother.

After the conversation ends, the player character will start to feel Jiang Shu change and will worry about how he will explain himself in the Wangsheng Pavillion.

As a reward, you will gain the title 【杀手不冷】
