Manager Li nearly choked on his own blood: "Young lady, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. How can you stand by and watch someone die?"

Haha, moral blackmail?

"Manager Li, if I save your daughter, wouldn't I be putting myself in danger? It might be a matter of life for life, ten thousand taels of gold to buy a life, that's all..." Mo Qingcheng turned around, raised her eyebrows, and seeing no one answer, turned and left.

"Miss, please wait..." Manager Li gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing slightly, "As long as you can cure my daughter..."

"See you in the martial world... Goodbye..." Mo Qingcheng left without looking back, bypassing Manager Li.

A flicker of anxiety crossed Manager Li's eyes: "Miss, here you go!"

Mo Qingcheng smiled, slowly stopped, and extended her hand: "Let me take a look first..."

Shopkeeper Li closed his eyes: "Please wait a moment, young lady..."

Mo Qingcheng waved her little hand, calmly sat down to the side, casually took out a book, and started flipping through it.

"A quarter of an hour..."

Manager Li nodded, turned around, and hurried away.

Baili Mingyue sat listlessly opposite Mo Qingcheng, her captivating peach blossom eyes fixed on the woman opposite her: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Don't we have your high-class, free thugs?"

"..." Baili Mingyue secretly felt a pang of sympathy for her innocent, foolish guard who had been caught in the crossfire.

The Cloud Inn likely harbors a secret that remains untold...

"And us..."

"Shh... I didn't see anything..." Mo Qingcheng glanced at Baili Mingyue with a half-smile, her watery eyes revealing a hint of cunning.

Baili Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly and chuckled. She had seen people scammed before, but never one this scammed...

A quarter of an hour later, Manager Li, pale-faced, rushed over. Without even wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, his hands trembling, he handed Mo Qingcheng a silver note containing ten thousand taels of gold: "Miss..."

The moment Mo Qingcheng reached out her hand, Farmer's gloating voice entered her mind: "Hehe, congratulations, Xiaomi girl, the silver notes are poisonous, the faster you grab them, the faster you die..."

"..." Mo Qingcheng's eyelids twitched. She saw Manager Li's eyes flicker slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a pair of transparent gloves appeared on his hands, making him immune to all poisons.

Farmer: "..."

We were careless; now we've missed the fun!

Gloves are not... no...

Farmer's expression changed drastically. He scanned the area with his divine sense, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to his knees. Holy crap...

Mo Qingcheng held the silver note in her hand, turning it over and over to examine it closely: "Manager Li, could this silver note be poisoned?"

Manager Li knelt down with a thud. "Miss, this joke is not funny at all. You can't make jokes like this."

"Let's lighten the mood a bit. After all... saving your daughter was a near-death experience. And what if I, Miss Mo, accidentally get infected by the Heart-Devouring Gu too..." Mo Qingcheng's eyes were indifferent as she tucked the silver notes into her pocket and clapped her hands. "Let's go..."

Baili Mingyue and her servant, who were completely ignored throughout: "..."

Whom do you look down on?

"Let's go, little cousin, protect your sister..." Mo Qingcheng stopped and turned back with a slight smile.

A fleeting glint of something unusual flashed in Baili Mingyue's peach blossom eyes, which Baili Fengyun happened to catch. "Master, are you getting horny?"

"puff……"

"Ha ha!"

Manager Li crawled into the fist and led the way. After walking for about 15 minutes, they arrived at a secret room.

Mo Qingcheng waved her small hand and solemnly instructed, "Alright, Manager Li, I'd like you and my little cousin to stand guard outside. No matter what happens, as long as I don't come out, no one is allowed to disturb me, otherwise... Miss Li will be seriously injured at best, and die at worst..."

Manager Li hesitated, then said, "Miss..."

"Believe me... if I can't save Miss Li, I won't be able to get out either, right?"
