Standing in the mixed shadows in the courtyard, Shen Wan's first reaction was not to check, but to turn around and walk back.
She has never been a strong combatant. Faced with an opponent who can easily sneak into a tightly sealed warehouse and does not know the details, it is probably the stupidest choice to rush through.
Now, apart from her wealth and life, she has no other capital.
Half an hour later, Shen Wan returned with her bodyguards and two nurses employed here. After some preparations, they rushed into the warehouse, but by this time it was already in a mess, and the thieves had already Already gone far away.
Shen Wan stared at the heavily damaged inventory and remained silent for a long time. Her guard muttered something and walked around the warehouse. As for the two monks who had the responsibility of "guarding the courtyard", after looking at each other, They all shook their heads and had already made up their minds.
"What, you have to leave!"
The guard's voice was almost sharp. He stared at the two guards with stern expressions on their faces. Their handsome faces were already distorted, and fire was coming out of their eyes: "The warehouse was just stolen, so you guys have to throw your hands away." Damn it, it’s not you who add insult to injury! Wait, it’s you...”
"Shen Liang!"
Before his guard said something stupid, Shen Wan stopped him and shook his head gently: "It's just a business. Buying and selling is voluntary, whether you leave or stay, why bother to say more?"
This is what the two nursing homes like to hear. They were employed by Sui Xin Pavilion, and they were originally very popular and very comfortable. However, during this period of time, the situation changed suddenly. Sui Xin Pavilion was controlled by others, and the business plummeted. People are caught off guard. Beihuang is a very realistic place. Many people have left before them. They have been shaken for a long time, but now they have just made up their minds.
Maybe this behavior is unethical, but since this is the custom in the Northern Wilderness, it doesn't matter. And they also have the confidence to do this. One of them is at the beginning of Huandan, and the other is at the upper level of psychic communication. If they join forces, Shen Wan and Shen Liang may not be able to suppress them.
The slave bullies the master, this is the truth.
The two nursing homes finally left, and their salaries have been withheld recently, but compared to the losses caused by their negligence, it is really a drop in the bucket.
Shen Wan said nothing, minding her own business taking stock of the messy warehouse and calculating the losses caused by theft. Shen Liang followed her, looking at the chaotic warehouse, he felt a little scared: "Well, sister, are we going to be in trouble this time?"
Shen Liang is actually Shen Wan's younger brother, and they have a very good relationship with each other. Therefore, when Shen Wan lost power, he was still able to follow her around. However, he has been immersed in cultivation and lacks a lot of lessons in dealing with others.
Shen Wan smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing. After that time in Hun Liao, I still keep the really valuable things with me. The things here are all big items. No matter how extraordinary the thief's storage ring is, , and can’t take much away.”
"That's good!" Shen Liang exclaimed, he was really an easy young man to coax - just in terms of his mental age.
Shen Wan is not as optimistic as she appears on the surface. She understands very well that in Beihuang, business is never just about profit and loss, supply of goods, etc. If she can't find a suitable entry point as soon as possible, she will end up in disgrace in the near future, and then never get ahead.
How could she be willing to do so?
************
While Shen Wan was worrying about her future, Yu Ci was also scratching his head because of something related to it.
He was originally doing evening classes and was in a deep state of trance, but the shadow ghost suddenly woke him up and showed him a good show in the city. It was referring to Shen Wan's theft case, and the process was much more complete.
"What the **** is this guy planning?"
Ever since "sitting in" on the conversation between Ling Wu and He Wuye that day, Yu Ci has been wary of the man who escaped after spreading the powder. Although the starlight of divine will failed to be deeply implanted and disappeared after six hours, Yu Ci now has a "partner" who never sleeps, allowing Shadow Ghost to always keep his mind on the divine map, using the stupidest The method of waiting and waiting finally brought the person who was waiting for him.
Yu Ci is almost certain of the identity of this person, this "big man" who caused chaos in the North. Under the illumination of the divine picture, every move is clearly understood.
Yu Ci almost looked at him scattering the valuable treasures in the warehouse all over the floor. It really looked like a thief was visiting. But in fact, this guy's purpose was very clear. As soon as he stepped into the warehouse, he dug out something from the mountain of goods and put it away close to his body. It seemed that he already knew where this thing was.
As for the subsequent actions, it is just a cover-up. Then, just like last time, the man flew away from the city desperately.
Yu Ci could understand this. With the threat of the unpredictable spirit witch, he would have tried his best to escape. What's more, he wouldn't even be able to take action tonight.
At least, if you don’t come back, you won’t be targeted by someone like him, right?
Yu Ci thought about it for a moment, and the figure floated up like a ghost, and then blessed himself with a non-flying fighting talisman. The effect of this talisman is similar to the Five Elements Escape Technique. It can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, divide water and step on fire. There are also some additional invisibility effects. With this talisman, he quickly submerged deep into the soil of the stone chamber, and the restrictions of the "Hundred Turns Pavilion" could not stop him at all.
He had two ways to track Lingxi Sanren. One was to chase him personally, and the other was to release his mental image. The latter was more convenient, but the distance was limited, so he decided to go there in person.
Relying on the effectiveness of the incoming and outgoing flying fighting talisman and the magic of illuminating the divine map, Yu Ci twisted and twisted in the underground passages extending in all directions. He was very fast and was three points faster than the opponent. According to this momentum If he goes down, he can intercept that person in less than half an hour.
But what if it’s intercepted?
Until now, his curiosity has taken over more and he has no intention of doing anything.
In addition, there is another reason: the name of that person, Lingxi Sanren, is too loud. Regardless of his own cultivation level, three or five years ago, this name was the same as the legendary "Underworld Secret Mansion" When connected together, it represents a secret cultivation cave with huge treasures. That was a goal that could drive all the monks in the world crazy. As far as Yu Ci knew, the Lichen Sect, including the Lichen Sect, had sent elite monks like Xie Yan and Jie Liang to travel thousands of miles to participate.
It can be said that Lingxi Sanren is connected with the nerves of most of the cultivation world. Now Yu Ci is really not qualified to get involved in this kind of thing. It's easy to get a little bit of influence, but the surging crowd "behind" will crush even the scum left.
Yu Ci stared at the image in the Illustration Picture and found it difficult to make a decision, so he simply followed it to see what the person's plan was.
Unknowingly, Yu Ci was far away from the scope of the Yin Cave City. The one in front still showed no sign of stopping. Moreover, the changes in the route were more complicated, there were more circles, and there were even more large and rare passages. In the dead zone of life, if Yu Ci's control over the divine map hadn't been better than before, he might have been thrown away.
Estimating the time, it was almost early in the morning. When Yu Ci was muttering, the picture of the God of Light suddenly changed again. A ball of fire suddenly appeared on the edge of the monotonous picture, and at the same time, a new starlight parasitic object appeared. Presented.
Lighting a bonfire in a cave? Is there anything more suspicious than this?
As expected, Lingxi Sanren changed their complicated movement pattern in this area and headed straight for the bonfire. Within a moment, they appeared within the range of the firelight.
"Thank you for your hard work, second brother."
Over the bonfire, someone stood up and greeted with a smile. Lingxisanren hummed, walked to the fire, took a deep breath, and sat down cross-legged. The man was very attentive and handed over special drinks, fruits, etc. He had obviously prepared for the meeting.
The solitary Lingxi Sanren actually has companions?
Although Yu Ci had already made a judgment when Lingxi Sanren rushed straight towards the bonfire, when it happened, he was simply shocked. That guy Lingxi doesn't know that his identity is sensitive and he carries a huge secret. How can he be honest with others in this situation?
In the midst of doubts, the person who contacted me called him "Second Brother" in a very affectionate manner:
"Second brother, have you got that thing?"
"Yeah."
Lingxi Sanren still responded in the same way, his attitude seemed a bit cold, but then he took out a yellow object and threw it across the bonfire. The person who contacted me didn't expect Lingxi Sanren to be so generous. He was a little flustered for a while and almost knocked the items into the bonfire. After finally securing the connection, he and Yu Ci in the distance saw clearly the true appearance of the object.
This yellow object looks like a rough-made copper statue at first glance. The outline is blurry and you can’t tell what it is. But if you look closely, it looks like it has been plated with another layer on top of the original statue. Apart from the copper film, there are no other traces.
The man who connected me was playing with it in his hands, and he also praised: "Second brother is indeed very capable. I don't understand. How did you find this?"
"It's nothing, it's just the spice."
Lingxi Sanren's expression was indifferent, but he had a sense of arrogance: "I was forced to have no choice but to stuff this object among the goods in Suixin Pavilion in order to hide it from the sky. But before, I painted a layer of black copper on it. Layer 'Hehe Agarwood', this fragrance is colorless and odorless, but when combined with 'Hehe Fuxiang' with the same properties and the exact opposite refining method, it can produce a unique fragrance.
"In Sanjiafang, I sprinkled the 'Hehe Floating Fragrance' on Shen Wan's dress. As soon as she came into contact with the goods, the two fragrances combined. Even if the black copper was hidden in her storage ring, it would not be hidden. I didn’t! I just didn’t expect that she would just leave it untouched in the warehouse, which saved me a lot of trouble.”
The person who contacted me hurriedly flattered him: "Second brother is really unique in his attainments in scent making..."
Lingxi Sanren smiled slightly, took a branch from the side of the bonfire, fiddled with it twice to make the fire more intense, and then said: "Lao Qi, I heard you call me second brother so many times during this time, and I also I want to teach you something."
Lao Qi at the joint was startled: "What?"
Lingxi Sanren said in an understatement: "If this kind of 'Hehe Shenfu Incense' is dipped in a little honey and mixed with fire smoke, its inherent toxicity will be activated immediately, making the whole body weak and the muscles and bones numb. If used on beautiful On women, it’s just right and has a unique atmosphere, but when it’s used on men, it’s very boring.”
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and Lao Qi fell down.
