It seems that they have been training and making progress these days, and she, who appears calm and composed, has never stopped moving forward.
very nice!
"Chief of the Underworld." The men bowed to Ming Zhi.
"You've seen and heard enough, now come out."
Mingpi nodded and waved his hand. Immediately, dozens of men surged out from the shadows.
The youngest was about eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest was nearly fifty. Their expressions varied, but when they looked at Xie Faqin, they all showed rare admiration.
"You've all worked hard in training." Xie Lingqin suddenly smiled, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze in March.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly waved their hands, saying, "No, no, we trained very well."
"Oh right, sour peel." Xie Lingqin hadn't forgotten this person and waved to him.
Suanpizi originally wanted to step back and minimize his presence, but upon hearing Xie Lingqin's instructions, he hurriedly stepped forward, a fawning smile on his skinny, monkey-like face, "Miss Lingqin, what are your orders?"
"It's nothing. You seem to have great wisdom, so I'd like to have a private chat with you."
"No, no need, Miss Lingqin, please rest assured, I will train hard and have no ulterior motives."
"hehe……"
Xie Lingqin looked at Suanpizi and suddenly chuckled, "Why are you so scared? I really admire you. You are quite capable. However, you must remember to use your skills when necessary and hide them well when not to."
Suanpizi never expected Xie Lingqin to say these words to him. A strange light flashed in the eyelids of his long, slender, and slippery eyes. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I will heed your teachings, Miss."
"I just exchanged blows with you. Your skills are quite good. If you were to use your full strength, you would be superior to me. Do you have any special abilities?"
Xie Lingqin asked.
"Special skills?"
Suanpizi scratched his head sheepishly, "Does this count as cheating?"
"Cheating..."
Xie Lingqin didn't say anything, but people around her were already almost bursting into laughter.
"Hey, don't laugh. When I say 'stealing someone,' I really mean stealing someone, not the kind of 'stealing someone' you're thinking of."
"Is there a difference between actually cheating and just thinking about it?"
A man in the crowd burst into laughter.
People from the martial arts world are indeed all straightforward and cheerful when they get together.
Xie Lingqin, instead of stopping her, smiled and said, "Come on, tell me, how exactly did you steal someone?"
"It means being able to fake someone's death when they're not looking and steal it away." Suanpizi said with a smug, obsequious laugh, "Of course, stealing things is even easier."
"What if someone's martial arts skills are superior to yours?" Xie Lingqin seemed intrigued.
“Well…” Suanpizi rubbed his hands together. “It all depends on luck. My ancestors were corpse collectors, so I know this little trick.”
Xie Lingqin lowered her thick eyelashes slightly, her expression enigmatic, "Then you have quite a few lives on your hands."
"No, no, no..." Suanpizi immediately waved his hand, "I was just taking people's money to solve their problems. To be honest, Miss Lingqin, it was because I made a mistake and offended someone that I was afraid of being hunted down, so I voluntarily entered the arena."
After saying that, his smugness vanished, and he became unusually docile.
"Hmm, it's alright, this is a good skill, keep it."
After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she looked at Ming Lan and asked, "Have you made any progress on the matter of the Heavenly Mystery Hall that I asked you to investigate last time?"
"I'm ashamed to say, not yet."
"Bring the sourdough sticks with you next time you check," Xie Lingqin said. After speaking, she waved her hand to the surroundings, "You guys continue training and get some rest."
The people around immediately bowed and dispersed, and soon the sound of orderly training could be heard.
But Suanpizi was still standing there, looking Xie Lingqin up and down, "Um, Miss Xie, do you want to investigate the Heavenly Mystery Hall?"
"Hmm, you're interested?"
"Hehehe." Suanpizi scratched his head. "The Heavenly Secrets Hall has a great reputation. I've never been to the Yama's Palace, but if I could steal the Heavenly Secrets Hall, the place that collects information from all over the world, that would be a real feat."
"Oh, so you really care about fame and fortune."
Suanpizi, feeling a little mischievous after Xie Lingqin's comment, laughed shyly, "Hehehe."
A glint of light flashed in Xie Lingqin's starry eyes, and she smiled slightly. "However, right now, I just remembered that there's something I need you to do for me."
"I will obey Miss's orders."
"Go and steal someone for me first."
"Huh?" Suanpizi swallowed hard, looking at Xie Lingqin. "Miss Lingqin, with your beautiful face, why do you still have to do this? I..."
"Sour-mouthed brat, do you want your teeth to feel sour too?" Xie Lingqin's voice was soft and seductive, immediately making the sour-mouthed brat straighten up. "Then, Miss Lingqin, who do you want me to steal from?"
Xie Lingqin smiled, then gestured for Suanpizi to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear.
Suanpi paused for a moment after hearing this, then touched his head.
Xie Lingqin looked at him, "Is it difficult?"
"I think it's worth a try."
"Well, if it doesn't work, there's no need to force it."
"Don't worry, Miss."
Suanpizi immediately cupped his hands in greeting, glanced at Minglan, and said, "Then, Chief Ming, I'll take my leave to continue my training."
"Go."
Minglan then gestured, "Miss Lingqin, I'll escort you back to the capital."
"Hmm." Xie Lingqin glanced at the sky; it was almost noon.
Once we emerged from that mountain hollow, the surroundings suddenly became much brighter and more open.
"Miss Lingqin, do you believe in that sour cod?" Mingqi looked at Xie Lingqin, clearly somewhat disapproving.
"Do you think this person looks slippery, smirking, and unpredictable?"
Xie Lingqin said.
Minglan nodded. "Yes, I originally wanted to talk to you about this person today, but you've already contacted him first, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything earlier."
