"Lin Lang is your master?"

Yue Lingyin: "Yes, Elder, I am his registered disciple."

"The young are formidable. They completed the first level in just one night. It seems that Lin Lang has someone to succeed him."

Yue Lingyin asked expectantly, "Am I the first one to complete the task?"

Elder Mo: "You are the second one. The first one is him, nicknamed Liang Shang, who stole everything in Dongli."

The name alone suggests he's suitable to be a thief. Yue Lingyin looked at Liang Shang with admiration. The latter, with his face covered, nodded at her.

Elder Mo: "After completing the first mission, you can take on advanced missions in three days. There are many commissions on the third floor, with amounts marked on the back. They are ranked by the total amount of the last mission completed. You can take multiple orders at once."

Yue Lingyin: "Will we be given the reward for completing the commission?"

Elder Mo smiled amiably: "Of course... not."

Yue Lingyin almost collapsed. Isn't it so shady? She worked so hard to complete the task and didn't get a dime, only a false reputation, or maybe even less.

The organizer doesn’t have to do anything, doesn’t have to take any risks, and can make hundreds of thousands of dollars out of nothing?

Elder Mo shook his head and advised, "'Master Thief' is the highest honor we thieves must pursue in our lives. It holds immense value. I can tell you're made for being a master thief. Don't let the small profits at hand fool you."

Yue Lingyin clutched her heart and said with difficulty, "You're right."

She listened to the music in the teahouse for a long time. The story of the talented man and the beautiful woman was fascinating. Before she knew it, it was noon and she spent 5 taels of silver on lunch.

Just when she wanted to continue listening to the music, the sound of uniform footsteps came from the street. Yue Lingyin looked down from the window and saw Feng Mian coming towards her with the guards.

The bad memories of that night flooded into Yue Lingyin's mind, and she suddenly didn't want to go back. The emperor was too rude, unlike Chen Qing, who gave her a very gentle massage, even though... it didn't hurt at all.
