Chapter 41

In fact, Ji Mingqing was not the same as they imagined. Ji Mingqing knew that there might be someone among his employees who leaked the formula, but he didn't know who it was, so he didn't jump to conclusions.

In his eyes, there was no difference between Cui Ding and Wu Qigu, except that Cui Ding came earlier, and in his heart he still leaned towards Cui Ding.

Ji Mingqing was in a state of confusion. How could this happen? For him, this matter was already quite difficult. A large part of the reason he had not made it public was that he found it troublesome.

Yes, it is very troublesome. Ji Mingqing has always felt that as long as something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome. Compared with the financial loss, the inner irritation brought to him by this incident makes him feel even more unhappy.

"You said that if he wants my formula, he can just come and ask me. I can sell it to him. Why would he go to so much trouble to steal it?" Ji Mingqing muttered to himself while lowering his head and fiddling with his fingers anxiously.

"I thought he really needed money, so I shouldn't have trusted him too much." Ji Mingqing reflected on himself, "We weren't even familiar with each other, and we'd only known each other for a few days. I even naively wanted to lend him money. Maybe he was even richer than me."

After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he turned around and complained to Xiao Wan, "You know what? I once watched the news back home about a spy who owned over fifty houses! I don't even have one!"

"In my hometown, anyone who owns a house is considered rich," Ji Mingqing added.

Criminals make money quickly, but Ji Mingqing has never envied them. His mother has always taught him to be down-to-earth and not become like his father.

Recalling the past, Ji Mingqing felt a little depressed. At this moment, his interest in refining weapons was completely interrupted. Ji Mingqing sat on the stool, resting his chin with his hands in a daze.

Bai Cangze scratched the tabletop beneath his paws, feeling a little anxious. He hadn't felt emotional about anyone else in a long time, but seeing Ji Mingqing still doing nothing after knowing the truth made him a little angry.

"Forget it, I won't dwell on it anymore." Ji Mingqing put away all the tools he had just bought for refining weapons on the table. Then he took out a book on formations.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Bai Cangze simply turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and began to patrol the fairyland with his spiritual sense.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Cangze felt that Ji Mingqing had finished reading, stood up and walked towards the restaurant.

His spiritual consciousness followed the direction of Ji Mingqing. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the guests had left one after another. There were only two or three scattered tables left in the restaurant.

Xu Yihe came forward when he saw Ji Mingqing, "Boss Ji, what are you doing..."

Without saying anything, Ji Mingqing waved to Xu Yihe and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Xu Yihe knew that Ji Mingqing had made up his mind, so he followed him out the door calmly. When they reached a corner, Ji Mingqing asked seriously, "I heard from Cui Ding that your spiritual awareness is stronger than others. So, can you tell me the details of what happened that day?"

"Of course." Xu Yihe immediately spoke and told the story.

"That afternoon, just before closing time, I felt a strange presence approaching the restaurant. There were still a few customers in the restaurant at the time, so I kept quiet."

Unprecedented spiritual exploration would be considered a very offensive thing in the fairy world. Xu Yihe's first reaction at the time was that perhaps the guest's rival was coming to cause trouble.

Xu Yihe did not move his troops. Even if other people came, he had a way to take them away from Fengxi Garden, so he did not greet Cui Ding immediately.

Unexpectedly, the target of this spiritual consciousness was not the guests in the restaurant, but went straight to the kitchen.

This spiritual consciousness was hidden very well, even Cui Ding did not notice it. If it were not for his extraordinary talent, he would probably have succeeded.

It's a pity that this person met Xu Yihe. Just when this person was about to extend his spiritual sense to the kitchen, Xu Yihe moved slightly and bounced the foreign spiritual sense away.

"Did he never come again?" After listening to Xu Yihe's description, Ji Mingqing frowned. He had completely believed Xu Yihe's words. There was no need for Xu Yihe to lie to him.

What's more, the plum drink is still being sold outside.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you so much this time." Ji Mingqing raised his head and forced a smile towards Xu Yihe. "If something like this happens again in the future, you can come to me first."

Xu Yihe smiled and nodded, "Of course, Boss Ji helped me, I can definitely complete this little thing."

Hearing Xu Yihe's words of thanks, Ji Mingqing's old face flushed. Ten immortal beads were nothing to him. "Then you go back first. I'll go to the kitchen."

The two of them walked into the restaurant together. Xu Yihe turned around to greet the guests, while Ji Mingqing went straight into the kitchen.

"Boss Ji, you're here." Yang Yubei was not surprised to see Ji Mingqing. After all, Ji Mingqing always prepared meals with him, but this time was a little different.

"Master Yang, please stop for a moment. I need to set up a formation here."

"What formation?" Yang Yubei immediately became interested. He knew that someone had secretly explored his spiritual sense, and he also knew that the recipe of Lumei Drink had been leaked outside, so he was a little curious about what Ji Mingqing would do next.

Ji Mingqing first took out a few fairy stones, then thought about it, replaced the fairy stones with fairy beads, and then took out a brush.

"This man isn't worth my immortal stones." He casually gathered his long, obstructing hair, his fingers twitching as he laid a simple formation on the ground. Today, he took out a knife, gritted his teeth, and cut a wound on his palm, squeezing out a few drops of blood, which he then poured into a bowl filled with water.

Yang Yubei looked at Ji Mingqing's actions and didn't dare to say a word. He was going to add his own blood to the formation. This was a very sharp and poisonous way of cursing.

"Boss, let's not add blood anymore..." Yang Yubei advised. Ji Mingqing turned around and saw the dilemma on his chubby face.

Ji Mingqing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while." His immortal physique meant that even if he had such a deep cut on his hand, it would heal completely in a few days.

However, he was very touched by Yang Yubei's concern.

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Yang Yubei's expression was like a hemp rope that was about to be rolled into a ball, tortuous and troubled.

"No...I..." Yang Yubei couldn't stop Ji Mingqing's next action. Ji Mingqing didn't pay attention to the sorrow in Yang Yubei's heart. He didn't care about the wound on his palm. After dripping the blood into the bowl, he stirred it with his hand, then took out the brush he had prepared in advance, dipped it in the blood in the bowl, and wrote and drew in the formation.

Yang Yubei didn't know what Ji Mingqing was doing, but he was using his spiritual sense to observe Ji Mingqing's little ball in the courtyard. Looking at the formation he was drawing, he suddenly laughed out loud.

This formation was not as outrageous as Yang Yubei had thought. The blood was added simply because Ji Mingqing was worried that his immortal power was not enough and the formation would not be effective, so he used blood as a sacrifice and borrowed the power of heaven to achieve the purpose of the formation's success.

And the rules of this formation really opened his eyes.

This is not a backlash or a fierce revenge that would make people's life worse than death if their spiritual consciousness probed over. Instead, after the spiritual consciousness probed over, the mark in the formation would return and leave a mark on the person's spiritual consciousness.

After being marked, the other party will start to have bad luck.

Thinking of this, Bai Cangze smiled and shook his head. As expected of Ji Mingqing, even his revenge was so creative.

After knowing this, Bai Cangze immediately sent a message to Yang Yubei, asking him not to disturb Ji Mingqing's formation.

After Ji Mingqing drew a curse formation, he stacked another formation in the middle. This formation was extremely powerful. Those marked by it would have nightmares every day and would not be able to sleep peacefully.

However, although immortals have less need for sleep, this method of fighting can even disrupt the thoughts during meditation. Once this person calms down, the things he fears most will be replayed in his mind over and over again, and this situation will last for about three days.

Ji Mingqing wanted to make this effect last for ten days or half a month, but his immortal power was too low and he was powerless.

After completing all this, Ji Mingqing said to Yang Yubei, Cui Ding, and Xu Yihe, "Don't send your spiritual sense over here. My curse is very poisonous!"

After saying this, he looked ferocious and scared the three people.

Little did he know that in the eyes of these people, his expression was actually a cute expression with a hint of fierceness on the outside but a weak heart.

"Who can be scared by this?" After Cui Ding told his men about this, he complained to Xu Yihe, "This expression won't scare the enemy."

"Even if you don't like it, there are certainly people who do." Xu Yihe said calmly, "If you don't have anything to do, go over there and turn the soil. Let Xue Qi do it for you."

"No way! You're not the boss." Cui Ding rolled his eyes and turned away.

Ji Mingqing also left at the same time. After he set up the formation, he returned to the courtyard and saw Xiaowan waiting for him in the yard. He felt relieved and finally smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiaowan, what do you want to eat today? I'll make it for you!"

After he finished speaking, Xiaowan stood up from the table. After the two looked at each other, Xiaowan jumped down from the table and walked to Ji Mingqing.

Then it stretched out its claws and patted Ji Mingqing's calf. Ji Mingqing didn't understand why, so he squatted down and asked patiently: "What's wrong, Xiaowan? Is there anything you want to say?" He didn't consider at all that Xiaowan couldn't speak at all.

Bai Cangze did not answer, but stretched out his front paw and placed his paw on Ji Mingqing's injured left hand.

Then Ji Mingqing saw the wound on his hand healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a few seconds, there was not even a mark on the palm of his hand.

"Xiao Wan!" Ji Mingqing looked at the wound on his hand healing quickly with surprise. However, what made him happy was not that he didn't have to wait for the wound to recover slowly, but that Xiao Wan actually took the initiative to help him heal the wound.

"Xiaowan, why are you so cute? I love you so much!" Ji Mingqing could no longer suppress the beast in his heart. He didn't care about anything else and had only one thought in his mind, which was to kiss the cute Xiaowan today!

Bai Cangze was startled by Ji Mingqing's sudden reaction. The next moment, he felt Ji Mingqing's face close to his. Then the two of them touched once, twice, three times...

This person... this person... Bai Cangze was stunned.

This man is so dissolute!

The author has something to say:

Bai Cangze today: This guy is so dissolute!

Bai Cangze in the future: Stick...stick!
