Duanmu Xiuchun racked her brains and said, "It's probably because you're not sleeping properly, or your posture is wrong."
Seeing her flustered look made me secretly happy.
"Maybe! Hey? What are these police officers doing?"
"You really don't know what happened last night?"
What an idiot! If I knew, wouldn't I know what she did to me?
"have no idea!"
"The sword in our vault went missing last night."
"What the heck?"
At this moment, Duanmu Yifu and a policeman came out of the basement.
“Mr. Duanmu! I’m certain that no one has entered the treasure vault. And judging from the cracks in those glass cases, they were definitely broken from the inside.”
"You mean, those swords flew out on their own?"
"Although it is hard to believe, the results of the on-site investigation confirm that this is indeed the case."
Duanmu Yifu's frustration was written all over his face: "Do you think those are remote-controlled airplanes? Flying on their own?"
The policeman had nothing to say and could only stand there.
"Dad! Forget it, anyone would be confused in this situation."
Duanmu Yifu waved to the police, signaling them to leave, then came up to me and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what do you think of what happened last night?"
“Mr. Duanmu! If Miss Duanmu hadn’t told me just now, I wouldn’t have known either, so I really can’t offer any advice.”
I don't know what Duanmu Yifu meant by asking that, but I have Duanmu Xiuchun as my witness, so I'm not afraid!
"Mr. Zheng! Let's talk over there."
Duanmu Yifu then led me to the pavilion.
He looked around, then leaned closer to me and whispered:
"Mr. Zheng! If you've figured it out, could you tell me first? We can go inside, and if there's any treasure, we can split the cost fifty-fifty, how about that?"
Are you kidding me? You're making things up, and without the key I can't even get into the proper place. What kind of treasure is out there?
I have no idea what the people of Shiyan are trying to achieve by creating this device.
Hmm... Is it possible that this thing is meant to be transferred to the Rainforest and then used to enter with a key?
Forget it! I'm not going to guess anymore. The thought of being teleported there is already quite surreal.
"Mr. Duanmu! Do you think we have this opportunity?"
I gestured toward the basement entrance, and there stood the knight:
"Unless Mr. Duanmu has another entrance."
I was just testing him, but I didn't expect him to say, "As for going in, I think Mr. Zheng only needs to nod his head."
Is there really another entrance?
“Okay? I promised Mr. Duanmu I would crack this, so once I do, I will of course tell Mr. Duanmu first.”
"But I'll leave it at that. I'm just doing what someone asked me to do; I'm not after any treasure."
"Alright! It's settled then. Today is the day of the martial arts tournament, so Mr. Zheng doesn't need to participate. Let Xiuchun accompany you to a good place to settle things slowly."
"Oh?" Is this creating an opportunity for us?
Duanmu Xiuchun nodded in agreement.
“I feel that Mr. Zheng’s trip should not be in vain. I will find a beautiful and comfortable place for him to enjoy himself.”
"Then I'll wait."
Duanmu Xiuchun's idea was good, but during breakfast, Old Hei said to the knight:
“Mr. Zheng is an important person now, so you, Knight, will protect his safety.”
Duanmu Yifu's face darkened, but he dared not refute it.
I think that Yangbenguo has been oppressed by Meiguo for too long and has developed a servile mentality.
They are male. The more you see them running, the more they chase and bite you. You should go up and slap them hard, making them howl. Then when they see you again, they will wag their tails.
The knight remained as reserved as ever, simply nodding.
Duanmu Xiuchun: "Protecting Mr. Zheng shouldn't mean preventing him from going out, right?"
The knight's face darkened: "No way!"
I didn't want to go out at first, but after he said that, I decided to go out.
"Can you stop me?"
You can give it a try!
Hey! I have a short temper, but I'll give it a try.
I stood up with a laugh and said, "So, I'm off then?"
The knight suddenly stood up and reached out to grab it.
His idea was simple: catch me and see if I still act cocky.
But I didn't intend to run away. He reached out to grab me, so I ducked down, grabbed his wrist with my other hand, and flicked it away.
With a "crack," I threw the knight against the window, smashing through the glass and rolling out.
"Senior Black! Someone like this is supposed to protect me?"
Old Black was shocked. How could a knight, a leader of a country, be thrown out in one move?
Not only was he shocked, but Duanmu Yifu's eyes darted around, probably reassessing my strength.
"You're asking for death!" The knight ran back and reached for his cane; his specialty was still swordsmanship.
Do you think I'd let him get it so easily?
With a flick of my wrist, two chopsticks shot out, one aimed at the knight's wrist, and the other knocked away the cane leaning against the dining table.
The knight quickly withdrew his hand, and the chopstick shot straight into the wooden pillar with a "plop".
This surprised them once again.
"Damn it!" the knight roared, reaching for his cane again.
He was clearly closer to the cane, but I managed to grab it first and then deliver a sweeping blow.
The knight stretched out his hand, neither dodging nor avoiding, intending to rely on his skill to withstand my sweep.
Just as everyone was waiting to see us clash head-on with this move, the cane seemed to sway in mid-air, and then everyone saw the knight fly out again.
I leaned on my cane and cursed him under my breath. Did he really think I would fight him head-on?
Just now, I bypassed his hand, took a step forward, and used my cane to send him flying.
