Chapter 205
Xu Nianqing's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he quickly stopped them: "Hey, why are you looking for someone from Feidu Villa? I already said it was a misunderstanding, I just wanted to buy something."
"You know exactly what's going on. I don't want to argue with you. Go talk to the people at Feidu Villa!" Cheng Hui carried her out.
Xu Nianqing struggled unwillingly, but unfortunately her spiritual power was sealed and she was a delicate and weak young lady. She had no ability to resist at all and was directly dragged out of the door by Cheng Hui.
Xu Nianqing had already seen Lin Qingyang activate the communication talisman in the room, and knew that this matter would definitely not end well, and he was immediately filled with hatred.
How could this person be so stingy? She'd already offered double the price with such sincerity, and not only did he not want to sell her, he even wanted to hand her over to the people at Feidu Villa!
She'd already been caught and humiliated, and that wasn't enough? How cruel and heartless!
If Cheng Hui knew what she was thinking at this moment, he would probably laugh out loud and ask, "Who are you?"
Are you a celestial being or a reincarnated goddess? Oh, you stole right to my doorstep, and I didn't sentence you to death. I simply handed you over to law enforcement. Is that cruel and heartless?
Then you probably have never seen what true cruelty and ruthlessness are!
So you think it's shameful to be caught stealing, so I should let you go... How can you be so shameless?
Three keys for ten yuan. Would you like a copy? How many keys would you like?
Cheng Hui has seen princess syndrome before and has never spoiled them. Do you really think that everyone in the world is your mother?
Soon, two monks on duty on the flying boat arrived at the door of the suite. Seeing Cheng Hui holding Xu Nianqing, they immediately looked puzzled.
"Little thief." Cheng Hui threw the man to the ground and said concisely.
"Thief?" One of the monks showed surprise and looked at Xu Nianqing as if he was a fool.
How many years has it been? How dare someone steal something on a flying boat?
It would be fine if you had superb skills, but you were caught by your master. How did such a person survive until now?
"Hey, that's quite novel." Another monk was immediately amused and reached out to grab it.
Xu Nianqing's body flew towards him uncontrollably and was caught directly.
"Hey! Put me down!" Xu Nianqing said unhappily.
"Oh, you little brat has quite a temper." The monk chuckled, then his face darkened. "Tell me, which sect are you from? If you dare to attack us on Feidu Villa's territory, you'll either pay with money or with your life. Which sect are you from?"
Xu Nianqing was startled, but he still shouted fiercely: "I'm warning you, put me down immediately, my grandfather is the elder of Bagua Sect!"
The monk holding him sneered, "Bagua Sect? And elder? Oh, I'm so scared!" He pretended to be afraid, which was so mean that even Cheng Hui wanted to hit him.
Xu Nianqing didn't know what he was thinking about, and shouted again: "My grandfather came out this time to carve the magic circle for you Feidu Mountain Villa. If you anger him, don't come to us, Bagua Sect, for the maintenance of the formation in the future!"
The monk did not expect that the little thief had such an identity, and looked at his companion hesitantly.
Xu Nianqing noticed this and became even more proud: "Don't say I didn't warn you, my grandfather has a bad temper and he especially dotes on me. If you treat me like this, he will definitely be very angry."
The monk frowned and put the person on the ground temporarily, but did not remove her restrictions and let her leave.
But Xu Nianqing seemed to have won some victory. He stood up triumphantly and glared at Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui: ...I’m afraid this little girl has some problem with her brain.
Do you think your grandfather can protect you?
It's just a Bagua Sect. Let alone an elder, even if the sect leader comes, this matter cannot be easily exposed unless Feidu Villa is willing to give up the reputation they have built up over the years.
Cheng Hui suspected that this little girl had always lived under the protection of her grandfather and had no idea about the ways of the world.
He looked at her silently twice and felt that this child needed a beating from society.
The guarding monk moved very quickly, and Grandpa Xu Nianqing was equally fast. The two of them arrived outside the suite almost at the same time.
The cultivator guarding the flying boat looked young, but his cultivation level, half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, proved he wasn't as young as he looked. He had a square face and a serious expression, looking like someone who wouldn't dare mess with him.
"What's going on?" The guarding monk's face didn't look good. It made sense. He was resting peacefully in the quiet room when suddenly his men received a message that a petty thief had been caught. It just so happened that this petty thief was related to the elder of Bagua Sect. This was simply trouble opening the door to trouble. It was too much trouble!
The young monk quickly recounted what had happened.
The square-faced man turned to look at Xu Nianqing. Xu Nianqing couldn't help but flinch. The other person's aura was too great. She was a little scared. When she saw Grandpa appear, she immediately cried for help. "Grandpa! Help me!"
The old man was indeed the one who tried to snatch the feather from Cheng Hui in the morning. He saw his granddaughter sitting on the ground in a mess with two monks from Feidu Villa standing beside her. He felt unhappy but could only smile bitterly.
"I, Xu Yan, would you please let go of my granddaughter first."
The young monk glanced at his uncle-master, and seeing that he didn't express his opinion, he let go and let Xu Nianqing run over.
"Grandpa, these two people are so bad!" Xu Nianqing complained while shaking Xu Yan's arm in a naive manner.
"Shut up!" Xu Yan winked at her, and Xu Nianqing reluctantly shut her mouth.
Xu Yan also knew that Xu Nianqing's actions were very taboo at Feidu Villa, but who could have thought that she would capsize...
Xu Nianqing is the most talented among the younger generation of disciples of Bagua Sect. Even though she has not yet reached the Golden Core stage, with her abilities and her own formation, she can easily defeat two Golden Core disciples.
But at this time, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were both standing here, obviously not affected at all, which made the old man feel annoyed and a little confused.
How did these two people break his magic circle?
Although Xu Nianqing only had an array plate, with his cultivation level, even an array plate could not be broken by an ordinary Jindan cultivator!
He glanced at Cheng Hui and the others with suspicion, and had all kinds of guesses in his mind, but in the end he said nothing and just looked very apologetic.
"I didn't manage my granddaughter well. I spoiled her and she's so brave. Today, when I was fighting with you for the dragon horn eagle feather, she saw me. To vent my anger, she deliberately came to cause trouble for you. Fortunately, you are so advanced in Taoism that you didn't fall into my trap. Otherwise, I would be so sorry."
Xu Yan's attitude was very humble, but no matter how humble he was, he couldn't hide the fact that his words and actions were twisting the act of stealing into a prank.
If others think that a delicate little girl is angry that her grandfather was offended and comes to play a prank in the middle of the night, you won’t be hurt anyway, so you might as well let it go.
Unfortunately, Cheng Hui doesn’t think so.
He said slowly, "Old man, I don't know if you've heard the saying: spoiling a child is like killing him. You can't do this. The child is still young. If she stole a needle when she was young, she would steal gold when she grows up. It's because she's still young that we need to strengthen her education. Give her a good punishment. She'll learn her lesson and won't dare to do it again."
Xu Yan: ...
"How can you be such a bad person!" Xu Nianqing bit her lips and glared, she was so angry that she wanted to slap Cheng Hui in the face.
She was raised in the sect with great care and pampering, and she made mistakes before, but after making a mistake, her senior brothers and sisters would tell her gently what she did wrong and told her that she just needed to correct it.
This person actually wanted to punish him... Although she didn't know how Feidu Villa would punish the monks who committed crimes on the flying boat, she knew it would be very painful!
Cheng Hui glanced at her and said calmly, "Little sister, I'm teaching you a lesson, so you don't get into bigger trouble by relying on your grandfather in the future. Don't forget, the world of cultivation has always respected strength. Your grandfather... can't protect you forever."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that taking something without the owner's permission is called stealing, not a trade or a prank."
After saying that, he said to the guarding monks, "I have already caught the person, and you all know the situation. You can decide for yourselves how to deal with it. There is no need to notify me again." After saying that, he and Lin Qingyang walked back to the room and closed the door.
The guarding monk raised his eyebrows. Since the victim did not pursue the matter, the matter could be left to them to handle. However, Cheng Hui's seemingly generous delegation of power actually posed a small problem for him.
He glanced at Xu Nianqing, who was full of indignation, and then at Xu Yan, who was gloomy, and shrugged. He knew that Xu Yan wanted to understand the matter with him instead of reporting it to the villa.
Although both are compensation, compensating him as the guarding monk and compensating the villa are two completely different prices.
Their villa also has regulations in this regard. If the victim agrees to settle the matter privately, there is no need to report it to the villa. Unfortunately... this person obviously has no intention of saving face for them.
He didn't want to get involved in these troublesome matters, so he simply reported it directly and left the subsequent handling to the owner of the manor. After all, he was just a mere guarding monk, and it seemed that he would have to continue guarding for another ten or twenty years. What did the subsequent repairs of the magic circle have to do with him?
He said to Xu Yan with a forced smile, "Elder Xu, I'm sorry, but it's my duty. If you have any questions, please contact our owner."
After saying that, he came behind Xu Yan, and against Xu Yan's dark face, he picked up Xu Nianqing again.
Xu Nianqing was still angry about Cheng Hui and the others' actions, but when she was suddenly picked up, she realized that if Cheng Hui didn't want to reconcile, she would be locked up.
"Grandpa..." She instinctively turned to her patron for help.
Unfortunately, this time, her grandfather couldn't protect her and could only watch his granddaughter being dragged away by the guarding monks in panic.
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't hurt my little granddaughter."
"Don't worry!" The guarding monk waved his hand with his back to him. "We at Feidu Villa are very reasonable and will not abuse prisoners. But Elder Xu, if I were you, I would go back and take inventory of my assets as soon as possible. I want to redeem your granddaughter, but I need a high price."
Xu Yan's face turned pale and blue. Of course he knew the rules of Feidu Villa. The reason he wanted to reconcile with Cheng Hui and the others was to save the money.
As a master of formations, he has a good income and a wealthy family. Unfortunately, he will probably have to spend a lot of money this time. It really hurts to think about it.
