The spy who came secretly

After the auction ended, Qin Ruqing and his friends did not leave in a hurry. First, the spiritual stones obtained from the auction had not been given to Qin Ruqing yet, and second, the Yang family must have something to say to them.

Sure enough, Qin Ruqing and his friends sat quietly for a while, and the expected knock on the door rang.

When Yang Wenxu came in, the excitement on his face was beyond words. The first thing he saw when he entered the private room was Qin Ruqing, and he looked at Qin Ruqing as if she was a walking little Pixiu holding money.

"Miss, you are amazing. Three sets of vitality pills were sold for 520,000 spirit stones!"

Qin Ruqing stood up, put his hands behind his back and smiled, "This has nothing to do with me. It's because the Yang family auction house is famous. If it were an ordinary small family, the price would not be so high."

Flattery, everyone knows how to do it. If Qin Ruqing wants to, the little sweet mouth can make others lose their minds.

Yang Wenxu nodded to Lu Wei and the others first, then sighed and replied, "My Yang family naturally knows the truth. If it weren't for this vitality pill and the marketing plan provided by the young lady, how could my Yang family become famous in today's auction."

Qin Ruqing just smiled, "So, is anyone still throwing rotten eggs at your door now?"

"Of course not. It's not enough that they are surrounding my Yang family to gather information, they won't throw rotten eggs, if they want to throw something, they will throw spirit stones!" Yang Wenxu's face was flushed, and after sighing, he took out a storage ring.

"This is the spiritual stone obtained from this auction. Please count it, young lady."

Perhaps because of the developed industry of refining tools in Xiling, their storage ring is also made very delicately. Considering Qin Ruqing's identity as a female cultivator, the style is also very delicate. The slender ring body is inlaid with a crystal stone of fire attribute. Even if it is used as a decoration, it is still expensive, not to mention that it also has the function of storage.

Qin Ruqing took it, scanned it with her spiritual consciousness, and after her eyes flashed, she smiled and said, "Brother Yang, why do there seem to be so many spiritual stones in it?"

Normally, the split between the auction house and the seller is 37 or 46, of course, some unscrupulous auction houses can even raise it to 55. Before the auction, she and the Yang family had agreed on a 30/70 split, with her taking 70% and the Yang family taking 30%. But now that she has the spirit stones, the Yang family has given her 80% of them.

Yang Wenxu said solemnly, "This time, the young lady has helped the Yang family a lot. The Yang family auction house was on the verge of bankruptcy. It couldn't produce decent items and gradually lost the trust of the people. At most, by the end of the year, the Immortal Product Bureau would take back the auction rights. Now with this auction, we have completed the performance requirements for half a year ahead of schedule, so we can hold on for another year."

"The Yang family can't thank you enough this time. Originally, they shouldn't take any of the profit. However, the Immortal Product Bureau has strict regulations on this. The auction house's share ratio must not be lower than 28. Therefore, we have to let the young lady down."

As he spoke, Yang Wenxu took out another storage ring. "The one just now was the spiritual stone from the auction. This one is the Yang family's thank you gift to the young lady."

He handed the new storage ring to Qin Ruqing. Qin Ruqing glanced at it and saw that the Yang family not only returned the 20% they took to her, but also gave her some extra "small gifts"

. How generous!

Although he sighed in his heart, he firmly refused with his hands, saying righteously: "Cooperation between noble families is the most particular about rules. Originally, the Yang family has reduced the share ratio to the lowest, which has given the Qin family a lot of face. How can we ask for an extra thank-you gift from the Yang family this time? Brother Yang, you should take it back."

Yang Wenxu obviously disagreed and wanted to directly put the storage ring into Qin Ruqing's hand, but Qin Ruqing dodged it. She said in her mouth: "Brother Yang, this makes me dare not cooperate with the Yang family next time!"

This kind of tug-of-war is very similar to the scene of the elders giving red envelopes during the New Year, and the parents and relatives tug-of-war. However, the red envelopes may be mostly false excuses. Qin Ruqing really doesn't want this thank-you gift today. So he blocked it with one word.

Sure enough, this sentence worked very well, and Yang Wenxu froze on the spot. Qin Ruqing added, "The Yang family is an excellent partner. Even without this thank-you gift, the Qin family can feel the sincerity of the Yang family's cooperation."

These two sentences directly stated Qin Ruqing's firm attitude. If Yang Wenxu continued to argue, he would be ignorant of etiquette.

Sure enough, Yang Wenxu hesitated, sighed, and withdrew his hand, "In this case, I'll do as the young lady said."

Qin Ruqing asked Yang Wenxu to sit down, and changed the subject in time, "Why didn't you meet the great elder of the noble family?"

This made Yang Wenxu regain some spirit, he said: "After the auction was over, the great elder was entangled by the guests below, most of whom came to inquire about the vitality pill. So he did as the young lady said before, and did not reveal too much, but instead spoke mysteriously and confusingly."

Confusing is good, this is the feeling I want.

After talking for a while, Yang Wenxu suddenly remembered something and said, "Last time, the young lady mentioned the sand boat skateboard to me. She said she was very interested in it. There just happened to be some spare ones in the Yang family warehouse. I'll bring them to the young lady this time."

As he said that, he took out four storage purses and placed them on the table instead of handing them to Qin Ruqing. The clever thing was that the four purses were placed in the direction corresponding to each person's seat.

Qin Ruqing's smile deepened a little, and this time he said readily, "We just need this, so I won't refuse it. Thank you, Brother Yang."

Yang Wenxu looked relieved.

After he left, Lu Wei picked up the storage bag on her desk, scanned it, and smiled, "There is a sand boat skateboard in it, but in addition to this, there are a lot of extras."

"Originally, the skateboard and the like were just excuses. The spirit stones from the previous auction of the Vitality Pill belong to the Qin family, and these four purses are just 'tips' for us, which should have been prepared long ago."

Qi Rong pointed at the things in the purse and said, "Sister, why don't you want his thank-you gift but this purse?"

Qin Ruqing actually sighed, "Because some things are hot to hold. Even if our family took 80% of the spirit stones from the auction, it was in accordance with the rules. Ding Potian just said that the Yang family was polite. But if we take the next wave of thank-you gifts, do you believe that he will immediately propose a second cooperation? Will you refuse or agree then?"

"As for these four small purses, they are gifts for us young people. It's nothing to take them. If you refuse them, the Yang family will probably think too much."

"Aren't you going to cooperate with the Yang family again?" Tang Zifeng heard the mystery in Qin Ruqing's voice. She seemed to be a little hesitant about cooperating with the Yang family.

Lu Wei also looked at Qin Ruqing: "The Yang family has always been very considerate and polite to us. They are a good partner for cooperation."

"Hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that? The Yang family cooperated well with us this time. I am not the kind of person who will destroy the bridge after crossing the river. I don't have the idea of ​​getting rid of people after using them!"

Qin Ruqing curled her lips, "It's just that sometimes there are things that can't be solved simply by your thoughts." She turned to look at Tang Zifeng, "Tang Zifeng, you used to be from a silver family after all. Tell me, if you find such a must-have elixir for Xiling monks at the auction, but the quantity is far from enough, what will you do next!"

Tang Zifeng's dark pupils looked over, but there was no big reaction. He crossed his fingers, thought for a while, and said, "The predicament of Xiling monks cannot be solved in a day or two, nor can it be solved by getting one or two elixirs. If I were a person from those families, I would be so stupid as to live... Qi Dan is secondary. The main thing is to find someone who can provide Huoqi Dan, or even more importantly, someone who can refine Huoqi Dan..."

Qin Ruqing nodded heavily, leaned back on the cushioned backrest, and sighed, "So, this auction seems to be over, but for us it is just the beginning. So many eyes will be staring at us. I would like to continue to cooperate with the Yang family for the second time, but they are already in a difficult situation. This auction of Huoqi Dan has attracted so many strange looks. If I take out the good things later, it is still unclear whether the Yang family can protect us!"

"So, the Yang family can indeed cooperate again, but before that, you have to find a bigger backer for yourself!"

...

Qin Ruqing and the others didn't leave the auction house until it was almost dark. Strangely enough, perhaps because of the geographical location, Qin Ruqing felt that it gets dark earlier in Xiling. After

bidding farewell to the Yang family and dawdling for a while, the sky was already completely dark. Four people in black robes with dark holes came out of the auction house silently, walking non-stop and very quickly on the street.

Qin Ruqing, who was in the lead and had the highest cultivation, led the way. Qirong followed for a while out of habit, but suddenly found that his sister's direction did not seem to be the way back to the inn. He opened his mouth to ask, but the half of his sister's face revealed under her hood was extremely serious, so Qirong closed his mouth tightly again.

He was not stupid. Combining what his sister said before, he thought of something and quietly sped up his speed, and secretly protected Qin Ruqing and Lu Wei.

The four of them actually rushed in the opposite direction of the inn without any discussion. Qin Ruqing, who was walking in the front, suddenly whispered: "One at three o'clock and one at seven o'clock. Tang Zifeng, you are in charge of the one at three o'clock, remember to keep your voice down, don't beat him to death." After saying this, he went to the seven o'clock direction. "

Qirong, third sister, disperse in other directions!"

Qirong sighed, and Lu Wei and Tang Zifeng also cooperated with their actions. The four dispersed in different directions.

Qin Ruqing hid behind a wall without making any sound. The person following them was wearing night clothes and must have practiced a special concealment technique. If an ordinary person walked by him, they would not notice where he was.

But Qin Ruqing was different. In Qin Ruqing's eyes, this stupid spy was as obvious as a light bulb in the dark. She herself had an innate big round body. When they walked out of the auction house just now, Qin Ruqing noticed this person as soon as he showed his head.

At this time, Qin Ruqing pasted a concealment talisman on herself, and somehow got behind the stupid spy. A thin fire appeared in the palm of her hand. The flame had no light, just like a red line coiled around Qin Ruqing's palm and wrist.

Qin Ruqing put his hands on the ground, and the red line of fire slid towards the direction of the stupid spy like a snake, and tied him up tightly before he could react. The spy wanted to shout, but the head of the fire line turned into a slap, covering the spy's mouth tightly. The slap of fire burned the spy's face, and only made a sizzling sound and a burst of burnt meat fragrance. Apart from that, no other sound was made.

Qin Ruqing saw that he was in real pain, so he chopped him on the back of the neck with a knife, giving him a quick death. Of course, the man did not die, but just fainted. Qin Ruqing

clapped his hands, and seemed to say to himself: "I used to do some explosive art, but in recent years I have begun to pay attention to the beauty of silence."

He looked up in the direction of Tang Zifeng. She sensed that the two spies were both quite skilled, and that she and Tang Zifeng were the most skilled in their team, so she asked him to take action. Qin Ruqing knew that Tang Zifeng was good at using hidden weapons, so he should be fine at this time.

On the other side, Tang Zifeng was squatting on one knee behind a wall, his angular face was as silent as a sculpture. He had no expression, neither nervous nor fierce to kill the enemy in battle. At this moment, he wiped his hand with distinct finger bones, and five flying knives with cold light spread out from his palm like a fan. He did not use his spiritual consciousness, but only relied on his naked eyes to lock the breath in front of him, and flicked his wrist very skillfully.

Five special flying knives infused with spiritual energy flew forward quickly, piercing into the joints of the man in black's hands and legs. The pain made him open his mouth and scream. The last flying knife also pierced into his throat, blocking all sounds.

When Qin Ruqing found Tang Zifeng, he saw him squatting on one knee in front of a man in black who looked like a corpse. The ground was full of blood. His handsome face was gloomy and he seemed a little troubled.

When he saw Qin Ruqing coming, his first words were: "He's dying."

Qin Ruqing walked in and naturally saw the miserable condition of the man in black. Of the five flying knives, four of them were fine at the joints, but one of them was inserted into his throat. He must be dying soon.

She sighed, but didn't blame Xiao Tang for his poor skills. She walked over, squatted down, took out a small jade bottle, and poured a small amount of white liquid into the black-clothed man's mouth. It was naturally the healing holy medicine, the spiritual milk.

Fortunately, the black-clothed man had a knife in his mouth, so Qin Ruqing didn't have to pry it open. The spiritual milk slid into the black-clothed man's throat along the blade and began to slowly repair the black-clothed man's body.

Qin Ruqing sent a message to Lu Wei and the others while saying, "I have to take care of the killing and the rescue. Tang Zifeng, you know that this is very expensive!"

Xiao Tang also sincerely realized that he was indeed not very skilled in this business, and nodded and said, "I will improve."

While he was talking, Lu Wei and the others also came.

Seeing the miserable scene on the ground, Lu Wei was only surprised but not afraid. The children of the Qin family have been trained to kill monsters since they started attending the family school. They have seen countless bloodshed. This little battle is nothing.

Lu Wei asked, "Are these people here to assassinate us?"

"Not really, they just want to get information and see where we live."

Lu Wei hummed, "So what should we do now? I think this man is still alive. Should we kill him to prevent future troubles?" As she spoke, Lu Wei's hand had already been placed on the hilt of the sword she carried with her, as if Qin Ruqing could give a word, she could go up and strike at any time.

Qin Ruqing was happy, "Don't, Third Sister, I managed to save her and fed her some spiritual milk, it's not good to waste it." She

began to touch her chin and think of a bad idea, "If you want to find out the news, you can do it openly. It's not good to be so sneaky. It's not good for the two of them to just lie here. Let's use some effort to carry her back."

Tang Zifeng silently looked at Qin Ruqing's bright profile. She was already in this state, and she still wanted to carry her back. Isn't this a blatant provocation?

Suddenly I thought of what Qin Ruqing said that night, you should learn to be petty like me. Well, she is indeed quite petty.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ruqing turned around and asked, "Do you know where this person comes from?"

Tang Zifeng's eyes flashed, and he turned his head away and said, "Looking at his clothes, he should be from the Tang family."

Qin Ruqing: "Oh, he is from your family, then you can take care of this person."

So in the dark and windy night, the four of them put down two half-dead corpses at the main gates of the Tang and Lin families.

When they went back, Lu Wei asked, "Xiao Wu, will our residence be exposed?"

Qin Ruqing nodded deeply, "It has not been exposed yet. Didn't we catch the spy today? But..." She changed her tone and clapped her palms lightly, saying, "But in front of a truly powerful force, our actions will be exposed."

Truly powerful... Lu Wei and Tang Zifeng looked at each other, and the same answer emerged in their minds.

"Is it the Xianpin Bureau?" Lu Wei asked, and seeing Qin Ruqing nod, she asked again: "Xiaowu, we are about to be noticed by the Xianpin Bureau, why are you still so excited?"

Qin Ruqing was indeed excited, her almond eyes sparkled, and she smiled and said:

"Because, I just want to be noticed by the Xianpin Bureau!"
