Feng Qing stretched lazily and flipped through the latest newspaper in her hand.
The largest intelligence organization in the underworld, Hua Ci Lou?
She sighed that the name sounded nice, and wondered if something was going to happen in the underworld recently, otherwise why would the people from Hua Ci Lou come out in full force.
[I kind of want to go home.] Feng Qing wrote to those people in the forum.
[This martial arts world is too scary. It is said that the largest intelligence organization in the underworld suddenly came out in full force a few days ago. What kind of big event must have caused such a scene?]
[Wow, is this the new script of Brother Time Travel? It's exciting.]
[I guess there is some big devil who is going to harm the underworld in your place and is about to appear in the world. I wonder what the big devil looks like and whether he is fragrant. 】
【What the hell, how come your brains can only think about this kind of thing? Can't you consider my safety a little bit? 】 Feng Qing said with some resentment.
Sometimes this is the bad thing about telling the truth and no one believes it. She told the truth seriously, but everyone thought she was joking.
The news in the newspapers were rather vague. Feng Qing did hear some gossip these days. It was said that this matter was related to the old owner of Huacilou.
"Have you heard about it?" A table of guests who were having dinner in Feng Qing's restaurant said, "The recent incident at Huacilou."
"I heard about it."
Feng Qing silently put down the mobile phone in his hand, pretending to pour wine for the guests, but actually he was eavesdropping there with his ears perked up.
"Why is it that the martial arts world is not peaceful at all recently, and such big things always happen." One of them sighed, and the remaining two said, "There is nothing to say."
"By the way, have you heard of another rumor? It is said that the sign left by the old owner of Huaci Tower has appeared. It is made of a piece of rare jade. It looks ordinary on the surface, but you can see the fluorescence it emits under the moonlight at night, and it is colorful."
"Really? Then this is a good thing."
"Of course, it is said that this piece of jade is a treasure that the old owner found after searching all over the place. There is only one such piece in the world. If you find it, then you can command all the people in Huaci Tower in the world."
Feng Qing paused slightly with the wine spoon in his hand.
A sign made of colorful rare jade?
It has a certain flavor.
——I wonder if this can compete with the thief's plaque that Bai Zhantang threw into the fire and remained intact for seven days and seven nights.
But Yu Fengqing had heard of it before, and she had also heard of "jade" that could glow, but... jade that could emit seven-color light?
... Could this old host have picked up a star from somewhere? Fengqing's eyes drifted strangely.
Okay, she was talking nonsense.
In the world of high martial arts, ascension is not a problem, so what does the seven-color jade plaque have to do with it? It's just that in martial arts dramas, the appearance of such treasures is usually accompanied by endless killings.
Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what that colorful jade plaque looks like. She estimated that she would never see it again in her lifetime. Just the appearance alone sounds very high-end.
When Feng Qing was daydreaming here, she saw Chu Xiaobai running out of the door happily. She immediately called Xiaobai, "Where are you going?"
"Go... play outside for a while." Chu Xiaobai raised her little face and said.
"Come back early. It's not safe outside these days. Don't play too long." Feng Qing threw the wine spoon aside.
"Okay." Chu Xiaobai was stunned for a while, and immediately ran out without saying a word.
"This child is really smart. He learns math so quickly." Feng Qing said with a little emotion.
She found that Chu Xiaobai had an amazing talent in mathematics, and he could understand many things at a glance. This made Feng Qing feel that the gap between people was greater than that between people and dogs.
Even if he had some basics before, it was really amazing that a ten-year-old could solve a quadratic equation with two variables. In modern times, this would be enough to be recommended for the Olympic Games.
She even felt that it would not be long before Xiaobai could try high school textbooks.
Feng Qing did not have many wishes. She just hoped that the disturbances in the world would not involve her. She would be an ordinary citizen who had to eat and wait for death. She could not carry anything, and the mess had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to lead a good life with her partners and cats, teach Xiaobai to read more books, and help Li Qi gain more meat.
But then again, even if she really has some ideas, she is probably powerless. Who in this world can look up to her?
Because Feng Qing has such a good perception of herself, before going to bed at night, she specifically told Li Qi to close the doors and windows.
Li Qi has been waiting for the arrival of the dumb scholar recently. In fact, it was a bit beyond his expectation that the dumb scholar hadn't come for so long.
However, Li Qi has not let down his guard recently, so when Feng Qing said this to him, he immediately remembered it.
Speaking of which, Li Qi has actually seen the dumb scholar's painting once. The printing technology of this era is already very powerful, otherwise Feng Qing would not be able to look up to her tabloid, and the stereotype painting technology has also developed well now.
Many people have seen the beauty of the mute scholar's paintings in some books.
But Li Qi was not looking at a stereotyped painting, he was looking at the real thing.
That was when he was still living in the rivers and lakes. Despite this, Li Qi was actually already famous at that time. Those who wanted to make friends with him came to him. They often brought some rare treasures. One of them was holding a painting like this.
When the painting was just unfolded in front of Li Qi, he instantly understood why the paintings of the mute scholar were so popular.
Although the mute scholar was a madman, he was particularly serious in some places.
For example, Li Qi was now sure that if the mute scholar could not see what the shopkeeper's face looked like under his bangs, he would definitely not paint.
For the dumb scholar, those paintings are his life, and he will not be irresponsible for the paintings he draws.
However, who can lift the bangs of the shopkeeper?
Who can see the shopkeeper's true appearance?
At this moment, Chu Xiaobai, who was worried about by Feng Qing, had already run to a stand selling steamed cakes.
A very cute young lady stood next to the steamed cake stand. When she saw Chu Xiaobai, she lowered her head and smiled, "Xiaobai, you come to my place again?"
"Yeah!" Chu Xiaobai nodded.
"Xiaobai, do you want to eat steamed buns?" The little sister picked up a hot steamed bun for him. Seeing Chu Xiaobai holding the steamed bun that was almost as big as his head in his two hands and biting it in small bites, she smiled and said, "Slow down."
On this street, there are three sisters that everyone knows.
The eldest sister Guihua sells tofu at the east end of this street.
The second sister Ruhua sells steamed buns at the west end of this street.
And the last one is a nine-year-old girl named Xiaohua, who is still at the age of playing silly every day.
The three sisters are all very beautiful. The one selling steamed buns in front of them is Ruhua. The steamed buns she makes are big and delicious, and are especially popular.
"Today's steamed buns are my treat. It's free." Ruhua said to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "That won't do. I'm a bookkeeper. How can I owe someone money?"
Then, he used his little hands to take out two copper coins from his pocket in an orderly manner.
Ruhua looked at Xiaobai.
This child was quite magical.
The first time they met was half a month ago. On that day, Ruhua ran into a man who teased her while selling pancakes.
In fact, because Ruhua was pretty, such things happened from time to time. Ruhua suppressed her disgust and advised the man in a good tone not to come to her stall to mess around again. However, the man just didn't listen. In the end, Ruhua was forced to tears.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a child's voice coming from behind her. The child pointed at the man and said, "Hey, why is this big brother bullying my sister?"
"Little kid, get out of here and don't mind your own business." The man said viciously.
"But, this sister is obviously unhappy, and the thing that fell from this person looks so strange. How do you pronounce these two words? How do you pronounce...?"
The man turned around and saw the thing in the child's hand, and his expression changed immediately.
He hurriedly said, "How did that thing get into your hand?"
As he said that, the man touched his clothes and found that the aphrodisiac he brought with him was gone.
Chu Xiaobai said innocently, "I picked it up from the ground!"
He was still reading the words on the medicine bottle, and at the end he shouted loudly, showing it to others, "I don't know this word, how do you pronounce it?"
Everyone around couldn't help laughing.
"Give me back the medicine!" The man snatched the medicine viciously, and in the laughter he looked at Xiaobai angrily and said, "Little thing, wait and see how I'll deal with you one day!"
No one noticed that after he said this, the smile on Chu Xiaobai's face suddenly faded.
The man left in disgrace, not even daring to turn his head back when he left.
Ruhua looked at Xiaobai who was chewing a biscuit and said, "Come to think of it, do you still remember the brother who came here with a bad tone? I heard that he seemed to have an accident yesterday."
"Really?" Chu Xiaobai was still chewing the biscuit diligently.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ruhua always felt that Xiaobai's expression seemed to be very calm. Even after hearing the news, he didn't have any other reaction, as if he had already known the result.
How could it be possible? She must have seen it wrong.
Ruhua had a trace of doubt in her heart.
However, at this time, Chu Xiaobai had already finished eating the pancake. He said, "Big sister, I have to go back. I was beaten by the shopkeeper on the way back."
"Hey, wait, don't leave yet." Ruhua suddenly laughed, "Xiaohua asked me to ask you yesterday if you will play with her tomorrow. She is going to go fishing in the river tomorrow."
After she said this, Xiaobai's face wrinkled up.
He muttered, "I still have to play with Xiaohua."
"Why don't you want to play with Xiaohua?" Ruhua smiled and said, "You are the only one on the whole street who doesn't like to play with other children. You can't do this. You have to get along well with other children."
The corners of Chu Changzui's mouth twitched slightly.
...Get along well with those eight or nine-year-old children?
But then again, An Huo's movements were really terrifyingly fast, and it was worth it that he used the information of Hua Ci Lou to exchange for the opportunity to deal with that man.
I wonder how she is doing as the "old owner of Hua Ci Lou".
In order to help An Huo return to the Western Regions, the shopkeeper even gave her that kind of thing, which was really unexpected.
With that sign, she has the qualifications to return to the Western Regions, but it is not clear whether she can sit firmly in that position.
...
Inside Hua Ci Lou, in a small private room, several people carefully observed the person sitting there.
The old owner was indeed extraordinary. As soon as he came back, he used thundering means to subdue everyone below, which was really terrifying.
The people in Huaci Tower swore that they had never seen such a cruel and terrible person in their lives. Perhaps only the owner of Huaci Tower had such a terrifying skill.
An Huoshaxi, who had changed her appearance, sat behind the screen with a cold expression.
For people living in the desert, disguise is something everyone should learn.
At this time, An Huoshaxi exuded the aura of a queen. She had just used this expression to kill several elders who dared to anger her the day before yesterday.
If Feng Qing stood in front of An Huoshaxi at this moment, she might not be able to recognize that this was the lovely little girl in their guest house. She might even be so scared that she would hug Li Xiaoqi and cry the moment she saw her.
An Huoshaxi looked at the palm of her hand, and her eyes were rarely gentle.
The shopkeeper not only cured her of the poison, but also gave her ten years of internal energy. An Huoshaxi's current skills can even be compared with some old monsters in the martial arts world, so she was able to use her internal energy and the crazy strength she had practiced in the desert for many years to kill the elders who provoked her.
A person in front of him suddenly stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something important to report."
"What is it?"
"In this Jiangnan, a mysterious person has appeared in recent months. Her identity and origin are unknown. Many people want to get information from us, and some even offer extremely high prices. Unfortunately, we are helpless. Your martial arts are higher than ours. You see, this..."
The man looked at Anhuo Shaxi with expectant eyes.
The host in front of him suddenly smiled.
The man felt relieved and thought that the old host really had a way!
He suppressed his inner joy and was about to listen to the old host's instructions.
As a result, he suddenly heard the old host in front of him say, "Give me the information of the employers who investigated that person."
"...Huh?" The man was stunned.
"I want all the information of these employers within one hour. If you can't get it, then you don't have to come back within one hour." The old host said casually.
The man was dumbfounded.
He always felt that this was a little different from what he thought.
However, before he could say anything, he saw the old host's terrifying eyes, which made him shiver involuntarily.
"Yes!"
