"Then may I ask, sir, what is hidden in the basement of the house behind you?"

Jiang Ming pointed at the house behind the old lady and asked clearly.

But the old lady is worthy of being an old lady, and her decades of life have not been in vain.

After Jiang Ming pointed out her weakness, the old lady's expression changed slightly and her pupils shrank.

But soon, she blinked, using the action of blinking to cover up her shocked look.

Who is this man and why does he know about the basement?

Could it be that this place has been exposed?

Or do they just suspect there is a problem but are not sure?

There are only two people...that shouldn't be official.

Otherwise, the officers and soldiers would have rushed in long ago without any need for evidence.

So he's some nosy, self-proclaimed righteous knight? He heard some rumors and found his way here?

Forget it... No matter what, after dealing with these two people, we must move away quickly. It is no longer safe here.

This man even asked about the basement, so he obviously knows something. He will definitely ask to see it next. Then I will take the opportunity...

The old lady's mind raced as she made a decision instantly, a hint of murderous intent flashing through her mind.

Her actions and thoughts may sound long, but in fact, they only take the blink of an eye.

When the old woman blinked gently and opened her eyes again, she had already wiped away all traces of carelessness. Only confusion remained in her cloudy eyes:

"Basement? How did this kind person know there was a basement here?"

Then she patiently explained:

"But this basement is just used to store some dry food and the children's miscellaneous items."

"Really? Then would it be convenient for us to go down and take a look? I just want to see if your food reserves are sufficient. If not..."

Jiang Ming stretched his hand behind him.

An Qin blinked and put the package in his hand tacitly.

Jiang Ming opened the package, turned towards the old lady, and said with a smile:

"Look, mother, if you don't have enough food, I'll donate all this money to you. No matter how hard it is, we can't let our children suffer, right?"

The old woman glanced at the package and was surprised to find that it was full of intact silver.

She had thought it was some small change when she heard the sound, but she didn't expect it to be intact.

If we can get this bag of silver, it will be a considerable gain, enough to offset the cost of the transfer in the near future.

Good.

As for Jiang Ming's request to see the basement, the old lady had already anticipated it.

After all, if he didn't want to go down and find out right now, there was no need to point out that there was something wrong with the basement in front of her.

This man could have investigated secretly instead of being so anxious to put himself out in the open.

But now that he has pointed it out openly, this man will definitely take action next.

Sure enough, he asked to go to the basement.

This just happened to be what the old lady wanted.

After all, it’s really hard to kill these two people out there in such a vast place.

The old lady didn't know the other party's background, nor did she know how the other party knew about this place.

But right now, none of that matters.

Thinking about these issues now will undoubtedly cause trouble for yourself and tie your own hands.

The most urgent task is to kill these two people to silence them and then move away quickly.

Other things should be considered after safety is assured.

The old lady is actually quite familiar with this whole process.

When we were not proficient in the business, the base was exposed several times.

Now all you have to do is follow the same instructions and go through the process again.

Reading this, the old lady sighed and said with a smile:

"Well, since you insist on doing this, then it's fine. It's nothing shameful anyway. Please follow me, both of you."

"Okay, thank you, Mother."

Jiang Ming said with a smile, and followed the old lady with An Qin.

He knew that the old woman had murderous intentions towards him.

Presumably, this old woman also knew that he came with ill intentions.

Both sides have their own ulterior motives.

Under such circumstances, he still dared to take them to the basement. There was no need to guess, there must be traps and ambushes in the basement.

Can……

I am a Taoist practitioner, so why should I be afraid of a mortal?

Then my cultivation has been in vain?

Although there have always been many people in the Qi Refining Stage who have failed in the mortal world.

But who are they and who am I?

There is also a gap between the Qi Refining stages!

If he really had an accident here, Jiang Ming said that he would just crash into An Qin's chest and die.

Senior sister’s is also fine.

But there is a little sister next to me:

"Anqin, why don't you stay here?"

"Brother, do you think that basement might be dangerous?"

"It's not possible, it's certain."

Jiang Ming smiled.

"Then I'll follow."

Upon hearing this, An Qin answered without hesitation.

Then he remembered something and added:

"But you don't have to worry about me, Senior Brother. I can take care of myself. You just need to ensure your own safety."

Although she didn't know the whole story yet, An Qin was not stupid.

She had been staring at the old lady's expression since a while ago, especially after Jiang Ming pointed out the basement.

Although the old lady had concealed it perfectly in her panic, An Qin still caught something.

Could the orphanage he had been helping be hiding some unknown secret?

Although he didn't know how his senior brother found out, An Qin still wanted to see with his own eyes what had happened.

In case of danger, I can help a little... Although I am not as powerful as my senior brother, I can still block the knife.

"How about that?"

Jiang Ming shook his head and waved:

"Come here, Junior Sister."

"what happened?"

An Qin leaned over obediently.

Before Jiang Ming could say anything, a big hand climbed onto her slim waist.

"Ok?"

Then, I was held in a warm embrace.

"Hmm?! Senior Brother?!"

An Qin felt a tremor in his heart and began to struggle subconsciously.

"Okay, Junior Sister, don't move. Trust me."

As soon as the three words "believe me" came out, An Qin actually calmed down.

He was obediently hugged by his senior brother.

An Qin could feel a big hand quietly pressing against her soft waist.

Fortunately, that was all, and senior brother didn’t do anything too much.

Although I was in my senior brother's arms, they were not very close and there was not much contact between their bodies.

But for some reason, An Qin always felt something strange.

An indescribable feeling spread in her heart.

In the past, only Sister Ruoqi had hugged her like this.

But at that time, she didn't feel any fluctuation in her heart, she just felt full of security.

But when her senior brother hugged her like this, she always felt... something was different.

I'm a little uncomfortable with it, and...well, I can't put it into words.

This might be the first time in all these years that I’ve been hugged by a member of the opposite sex.

Also, why do my hands feel so hot?

Much hotter than my senior sister...

The palm is still big... completely grasping my waist...

An Qin quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

This is just normal physical contact!

I just believe in my senior brother!

Sister Ruoqi, you won’t blame yourself, right?
