Walkthrough
There are two parts to the quest. The first requires that you obtain intel about the Chalice by questioning the locals; you succeed by getting three good or three bad responses. Fortunately, there are five NPCs, so you will inevitably get three responses of the same type no matter how they respond.

Unfortunately, as soon as you accomplish this task, Fah Yu the Shadow's Eye and a couple of Am Fah mobs spawn and attack. As long as you are spread out when this happens, you should not expect too much trouble, since these foes are not any tougher than the ones you have seen so far. After killing Fah Yu and company, listen to the brief dialogue, then return to Xan Hei to claim your reward.

Good and bad responses

Initial dialogue

 * Xan Hei
 * "The Am Fah are little better than carbuncles, unsightly blemishes festering on the glorious face of Kaineng. They lurk in places decent people fear to go, and time has emboldened them. The Dragon Empire does little to stop them, and the Am Fah brazenly walk the streets as a result. As much as I am loathe to say it, that may work in our favor. When an organization becomes to large and unrecognizable, it becomes difficult to keep secrets. Secrets are a valuable commodity to some; they can be bought and sold if you know where to look.
 * We should travel to The Marketplace. Its name carries more connotations than the obvious. We should be able to learn something there, if we speak to the right people. But remember to play this smart. If you go in there and demand answers, people will suspect you. If you accept, then speak to me again when you are ready to go. I will take us there."

Intermediate dialogue

 * If the player got good responses
 * Fah Yu the Shadow's Eye: "It appears that you might be a little too clever for your own good. Savor the knowledge that you've gained while you can, because it's going to die here with you."
 * Xan Hei: "Looks like this was their idea of a trap. They've got the Marketplace covered."
 * : "Let me tell you something: never put me in a trap. Worse foes than you have tried. Now think about that; how did things end up for them?"


 * If the player got bad responses
 * Fah Yu the Shadow's Eye: "Perhaps we overestimated the threat you might be to us. If you've learend anything, it was only dumb luck. But you will still die for the information you have gained."
 * Xan Hei: "I have to admit. I was expecting a bit more...subtlety."
 * : "Does it matter? We got what we needed! Let's just take care of this."


 * After the fight
 * Xan Hei: "Now that the trash has been dealt with, what have you learned?"
 * : "We're looking for someone named Jeijou, Shadow Whispered. There's something going on in Nahpui Quarter that has drawn the attention of a large number of Am Fah, and it's likely that the two are related."
 * Xan Hei: "Then we know where we must head next. Whoever this Jeijou is, he's important enough to the Am Fah that they can no longer afford to act discreetly. He must have some connection to the Chalice of Corruption. Let's go find out."

Reward dialogue

 * Xan Hei
 * "This was a worthwhile endeavor. We have learned the name of the one we are after and where they will be. As a bonus, we removed a little filth from the streets. All that's left is to remove the threat, so that it never rears its head again. Come and speak with me once more when you are ready."
