Chapter 681 She Didn’t Look for Jing Zhui

Are we going to feed the Pixiu today?

"Out of the warehouse." Qing Yuanhu sat up from the wheelchair and stretched.

The three owners did not move.

Obviously, it is difficult for everyone to accept the reality of failure.

Qing Yuanhu smiled playfully again: "You don't understand? You're not planning to steal the treasure behind my back today, are you?"

"Don't make jokes that could lead to death." Wu Shisan Niang said stiffly.

Qin Xingshi hummed and pointed his finger at the void in front of the Water Spirit Pearl. A three-dimensional star map rose slowly. He needed to use the password he had obtained to connect the seven stars in it to unlock the last line of defense.

Tian Zongheng also tried his best to act calm. He quickly opened the treasure book he was responsible for checking. There was a lifelike treasure pen drawn on the sidebar. He made a gesture of picking up the pen, and the next breath, a red pen appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He angrily crossed out the name of the Water Spirit Pearl from the treasures in the library.

The air was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Xingshi's hands, watching him delay time and slowly connect one star with another.

With three bosses in the front, Ye Xiaoman, like before, tried her best to reduce her presence.

The Grand Chamberlain followed the Boss, wearing a uniform light gold cloak with a hood, standing with his head bowed. Unless the Boss asked him to speak, he remained silent most of the time, like a shadow.

It's hard to notice.

Ye Xiaoman was thinking about countermeasures.

She didn't feel the fear of being completely trapped, but she had a lot of cards up her sleeve, and she was considering which one to use...

When the three bosses were taking out treasures from the warehouse, Qing Yuanhu seemed to be unable to rest for a moment. He dragged his clogs lazily, making a frightening clattering sound, and stopped in front of Ye Xiaoman.

He asked, "Why do these court officials look a little unfamiliar today?"

Qing Yuanhu had his back to Wu Shisan Niang. From Ye Xiaoman's perspective, she could just see Wu Shisan Niang's movements opposite her.

Qing Yuanhu accidentally made a mistake, because Ye Xiaoman saw Wu Shisan Niang move as fast as lightning and exchanged the fake Water Spirit Pearl with the real one, and the real one slipped into Wu Shisan Niang's sleeve.

Wu Shisan Niang gave Ye Xiaoman a look that indicated she was retreating.

Ye Xiaoman's blood began to boil.

Wu Shisanniang's voice remained calm and composed. "You are joking again, Master Qing. Ren Chaofeng is an old man in my family. You must have seen her a hundred times over the years."

Ye Xiaoman's lips started moving on their own, and her cool and domineering voice echoed with Wu Shisan Niang's.

"Shopkeeper, please don't make things difficult for Mr. Qing. If he manages to win this year's big deal with the Water Spirit Pearl, he might even become the next president of the Chamber of Commerce. His status would be worlds apart from a mere court official like me."

"It's understandable that you don't recognize me."

Qing Yuanhu smiled: "As expected of someone under Wu Dongjia, he is quite eloquent."

Ye Xiaoman felt a strong wind blowing straight in front of her eyes, and her hood was blown off. She raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Qing Yuanhu.

Qing Yuanhu smiled inexplicably and cast a coquettish glance at her.

Ye Xiaoman shuddered at his arousal.

Qing Yuanhu did not embarrass her any further. He turned around and asked the three owners, "Have you taken out the treasure?"

Qin Xingshi handed the fake Water Spirit Pearl in the treasure box to Qing Yuanhu and said, "Please check it. We will not be responsible if it leaves this treasure house."

The atmosphere became tense again as Qing Yuanhu inspected the treasure.

Ye Xiaoman noticed that Qing Yuanhu's attitude was indescribably strange, and she had to make arrangements in advance.

She patted her collar gently.

Yue Mushan poked out half of his cat head.

Ye Xiaoman ordered him: [Amu, let the monsters riot.]

Yue Mushan jumped down silently from Ye Xiaoman's arms. The white cat's paw pads fell to the ground without even a speck of dust flying up. In the blink of an eye, it ran out of the treasure house.

This is not the end, Ye Xiaoman rolled up her sleeves again.

She wore a braided red rope on her wrist, with many small accessories strung on the rope, including a small peace locket and a miniature clay pot - it was Zhu Chuideng's urn, which she had shrunk with magic for easy use.

Ye Xiaoman bent her knuckles and tapped the pottery jar lightly.

Uncle Deng.

Zhu Chuideng replied almost instantly: [Little girl.]

Ye Xiaoman had a telepathic connection, and a scene emerged in front of her eyes: the rough man was plowing the field in a depressed mood, not even noticing that he had planted the rice seedlings crookedly. Suddenly he heard her voice calling him, and he stopped in the paddy field abruptly, and a smile immediately appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Ye Xiaoman didn't even have time to say hello: "I need your help with something."

Zhu Chuideng was expected.

She never came to him for no reason, and after leaving him she didn't even contact him to ask about her recent situation. He was not angry, but was very happy that she was thinking about him and using him.

She didn't look for Jing Zhui.

He teased her: "One day without seeing you feels like three years. If you don't say 'I miss you' first, but just say 'I want to use you' straight away, I'll be sad too."

[I miss you.] Ye Xiaoman was very obedient when she needed help.

At the scene, Qing Yuanhu checked the Shui Lingzhu, confirmed that it was correct, and signed his name.

Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing stared at him as he signed, and everyone's anxious hearts showed signs of calming down a little.

Wu Shisanniang took advantage of Qing Yuanhu's unpreparedness and walked to Ye Xiaoman. Ye Xiaoman noticed that there was an extra weight in her pocket, so Wu Shisanniang put the genuine Water Spirit Pearl that she had swapped into her pocket.

This was part of the original plan, and Ye Xiaoman accepted Wu Shisan Niang's secret plan well.

Qing Yuanhu signed the imperial edict in his hideous handwriting while casually saying, "I'm going to take the three court officials you brought with me for questioning."

Wu Shisanniang's joy was fleeting: "What do you mean?"

Qing Yuanhu threw the pen back to Tian Zongheng: "I asked someone to take inventory this morning and found that three Transformation Pills were missing from the Chamber of Commerce's external warehouse."

Wu Shisan Niang wanted to say something, but Qing Yuanhu made a gesture to stop her.

"I know what you are trying to say. The Chamber of Commerce receives so many intelligence agents applying for Transformation Pills every day. It's normal for a few to be missing."

"But you were stopped by Pixiu today, right?"

"It happened today, and it happened to be three Transformation Pills, and three suspicious-looking Grand Court Officials. It's hard for me not to be concerned."

Tian Zongheng blocked Sikong Qing's way and said, "Qing Yuanhu, how dare you touch my arm!"

"Of course I dare." Qing Yuanhu took out the token of the host on duty and smiled provocatively, "Take him down."

Following his command, the Mahayana consciousness guarding the treasure house suddenly increased its pressure, and the pressure turned into an invisible sharp blade pressing down. Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing immediately jumped up, but were ruthlessly pressed down again. The bronze tiles under their feet broke and sank more than a foot down.

Ye Xiaoman's cries for help to Zhu Chuideng instantly tripled in speed: [Uncle, I got caught robbing Huantian Chamber of Commerce!]
