Lin Xi stared at them. "You're here to find the fragments too?"

Shi Hu was surprised, "You know about the fragments!"

Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "Do you know Cai Wen and Cai Wu?"

"You killed them?!"

Shi Hu was even more surprised, and imagined a whole drama unfolding before his eyes.

Cai Wen and Cai Wu didn't die at the hands of the Special Administration Bureau; they died at the hands of this little girl.

Lin Xi curled her lips, "Tell me honestly, you know in your heart what happened to Cai Wen and Cai Wu."

"It really was you who killed him!" Shi Hu's voice trembled.

No wonder Cai Wen and Cai Wu didn't send back any news. If they encountered this extraordinary little girl, they would be lucky to escape with their lives.

Shi Hu's face stiffened as he tried to calm himself down. "You already know we're here to find the fragments."

Lin Xi asked, "Why are you looking for the fragments?"

Shi Hu shook his head. "I don't know. The master told us to look for it."

This is the truth; he and Shi Longzhi were just peripheral figures and had no idea about the organization's secrets.

The core members of the organization all have their own code names. Shi Hu had heard of a person codenamed "Mage" who appeared with background music and beauty filters.

No one has ever seen the monk's true face; in short, he is incredibly powerful.

Lin Xi frowned.

Sending two fragile mages to find the fragments is like walking into a trap.

These two seem to be cannon fodder, including Cai Wen and Cai Wu from last time; that "master" killed them directly.

Bang!!

A sound came from behind him, and Qian Fugui screamed, "Holy crap! The book moved!"

He remembered the method from the novel and tried biting his fingertip, dripping blood onto the secret manual.

Unexpectedly, the book exploded, emitting a bright white light.

Qian Fugui was stunned. "Master, there's something there! There really is something there!"

The white light grew brighter and brighter, blocking everyone's view. Shi Hu's eyes lit up.

This is a good opportunity to escape.

When a normal person suddenly sees a blinding light, their vision goes blurry, but Shi Hu is not like that; he can see clearly whether it is night or day.

Shi Hu was overjoyed and immediately ran to the window. He could escape as soon as he jumped out.

"You're not being honest."

A terrifying sound came from behind, and Shi Hu stood frozen in place, as if his fate had been seized by the throat.

Lin Xi snorted coldly, grabbing his collar with one hand. "You've got some nerve running away right in front of me."

Her tone was very calm, but Shi Hu broke out in a cold sweat.

He retreated to the corner in fear, "What, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xi threw a punch.

Shi Hu cried out in pain, "It hurts so much!"

Lin Xi took out a talisman and slapped it on his head, "Be quiet."

Shi Hu was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.

Lin Xi clapped her hands. "Now you can't escape, can you?"

Shi Long stared blankly at all of this, without any reaction.

Lin Xi did the same thing to him, putting a talisman on him to immobilize him as well.

She took out her phone, snapped a picture of the two of them, and sent it to Yun Yan, leaving the brains to him.

Qian Fugui stood there stunned, shouting, "Master, Master, come and see!"

"What's wrong? What did your grandfather leave you?"

Lin Xi walked over and took a look, her eyes widening slightly. "A fragment of a sacred artifact!"

A white halo enveloped a black iron plate, which was larger and darker than the one taken from Wu Ting's body last time.

The iron sheet emitted an eerie aura, but it was blocked by the soft white light, so Qian Fugui was unaffected by it.

Qian Fugui held the dark, unsightly object, unsure of what to do.

"Master, why did my grandfather leave this to me? Is it some kind of protective magic artifact?"

“No,” Lin Xi explained simply, “this thing will kill you.”

"Holy crap!" Qian Fugui's hand trembled, and the piece of metal fell to the ground. He quickly moved away from the thing.

A white halo carrying the iron piece flew into the sky, and countless white lights gradually formed a shadow.

The figure had gray hair, wore a dark blue Taoist robe, and had a faint smile on his lips.

He shifted his position. "Wealth and honor."

Qian Fugui's eyes widened. "You are... Qian Jin?!"

He hadn't seen his grandfather for ten years, and he didn't react at first.

Qian Fugui immediately changed his address, "Grandpa, sob, Grandpa..."

Qian Jin laughed and said, "Fu Gui, when you were little, I would call you to go to school, but you would never get up and would just hug my leg and cry."

“Teaching you to do your homework made me so angry that I had a high blood pressure attack and had to stay in the hospital for three days.”

“When you were eight years old, you couldn’t even recite the multiplication table or recite a single ancient poem. That’s when I realized that this grandson was stupid, very stupid.”

Qian Fugui: "..."

He covered his face awkwardly, "Grandpa, please give me some face."

Qian Jin listed a bunch of Fu Gui's bad habits.

"You're lazy, stupid, and out of breath after running a few steps. I have no intention of letting you learn the Golden Lock Jade Gate. You might as well just be a slacker for the rest of your life."

"Therefore, I didn't leave any secret manuals for the Golden Lock Jade Gate, because you wouldn't be able to learn them anyway."

Qian Fugui's lips twitched. "Grandpa, I'm trying to be a good scoundrel."

Qian Jin suddenly sighed, "When you were born, I did a divination for you, and it said that you would meet a powerful little girl in the future."

Qian Fugui gave a thumbs up, "Grandpa, you were right."

Qian Jin continued, "I left a message so that I could give this piece of black iron to that girl."

"Back then, I went to Southeast Asia to exchange skills and accidentally obtained this piece of iron. It was covered with extremely strong yin energy, blood energy, and evil energy."

"An organization has been searching for this kind of iron sheet, so I sealed it inside this book. Something like this absolutely cannot fall into the hands of that organization..."
