Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 48 Killing and stealing goods

"Uncle Li, you gave me such a valuable gift. What do you want me to do this time?"

Ye Qi looked at Uncle Li, who was so generous and lavish. He was so attentive to him for no reason. He was either a traitor or a thief. Although he was forbidden by his father to go out and wander around, how could he not understand these worldly principles that even an eight-year-old child understood? When he saw the wooden box, he guessed that things were not that simple!

"Ye Qi! What do you think of your Uncle Li? I really like that girl Jingshu, and she was seriously injured just to help me. I feel really uneasy. This can be considered as buying peace of mind!"

Seeing his face full of sympathy and worry, Ye Qi thought to himself, "What a ruthless old fox! Last time, you cheated four people out of a few dozen taels of silver. This time, you're taking something so valuable. I'm going to be ripped off by you, leaving nothing behind."

Although he thought so in his heart, Jingshu was bedridden at the moment and could not recover, and Uncle Li knew the news as soon as he went to the clinic. If he really refused him, he would inevitably use Jingshu as a threat.

If I agree to cooperate now, perhaps I can leave Jingshu in Yi Yang City without worry. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

"Uncle Li! I'll trouble you to take good care of Shu'er after I leave! If there is a great opportunity this time, I will definitely not forget your kindness, Uncle Li!" Ye Qi said with a forced smile.

Then he casually picked up the bloodstained label, on which were engraved two large characters: "Black Fish". The name was quite interesting. I hope I can really gain something from this trip!

Ye Qi put away the iron plate, said goodbye to Uncle Li and walked out. Looking at the guards at the stairs, his expressions had changed greatly when he looked at him. It seemed that Uncle Li was really not an ordinary person!

As soon as he stepped out of the auction house, a carriage blocked his way. The servant holding the horse handed him the reins and said, "Young Master Ye! This is the carriage that Boss Li prepared for you. Food and water are already prepared. There's also a map in the carriage. Follow the route on it and you'll reach the location of the newly discovered ancient ruins!"

Ye Qi took the reins, turned his head and looked at the booming auction house. He was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Uncle Li. He was so anxious to give him an opportunity, it was like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, he had no good intentions!

Ye Qi got on the carriage and drove along the route on the map until it was getting dark and he stopped at an inn in the suburbs.

Even if he could stay up all night to travel, this tired horse couldn't run without food or water. As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. He had better eat and drink enough to keep himself in good spirits before he could go and see what kind of gift Uncle Li had prepared for him in the ruins!

"Waiter! A room with a superior soft bed!"

A cold voice like a silver bell sounded behind him. Ye Qi turned around and saw that this person was the mysterious person at the auction. She was actually a woman?

The mysterious woman also noticed Ye Qi's gaze and turned her head to look at him. Knowing that he was in the wrong, Ye Qi quickly withdrew his gaze. No matter where he was, staring at a girl was not a gentleman's behavior!

After booking the room, when I turned around, the mysterious woman had disappeared, but I was very interested in her clothes.

A woman who was so generous was actually wearing coarse clothes. I suddenly felt interested in her. Maybe we will meet again in the ruins in the future!

Late at night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were no lights in the corridors and halls. The entire inn was deserted, and everyone kept their doors closed and seldom moved around. Only Ye Qi, a young man, could not sleep in the room and stood on the second-floor corridor, leaning against the railing, thinking about something!

"Brother! I heard that the girl upstairs has a treasure map of the ruins. Should we sneak in and steal it at night when the moon is dark and the wind is strong?"

"I heard that this treasure map was auctioned for a whopping 800,000 yuan in Yiyang City. Even if we don't find the treasure, we can still make a lot of money by reselling it!"

"I think that girl is pretty, too. How about..."

"Snapped!"

A muffled slap sounded, and Ye Qi looked down at the people who were plotting. One of them was covering his bald head, and he should be the one who had just been beaten.

"You horny idiot! We are chivalrous thieves, not flower thieves!" The young man who was the leader of the four said speechlessly as he looked at the idiot whose mind was full of women.

"It's still early. Wait until the dead of night before you act!"

After saying that, several people tiptoed to find places to hide.

Judging from their actions, it was clear that they were not tenants here, and this might be the first time they had done such a despicable act, otherwise he would not have overheard such a conspiratorial conversation. Moreover, after they dispersed, they hid in the corner and did not return to the room!

Ye Qi looked around and saw no signs of anyone else moving around except the four of them. He felt something was amiss.

If even these four clumsy-looking guys knew this news, then this inn would have been surrounded by people!

Just when Ye Qi was still lost in thought, the door of a room not far away was suddenly knocked open by a black figure. Looking at the figure flying backwards, it was obvious that he was kicked out by someone.

The woman in black knelt on one knee, holding up her body with one hand tightly gripping the long sword, a trickle of blood slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.

The woman in black raised her hand to wipe off the blood, then quickly pulled out a whip from her waist and swung it at the beam. She pulled her body hard and swung to the door of the inn.

Several masked men in the house also chased out. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, their moves were surprisingly consistent. It was obvious without any guessing that they must be from the same sect, or at least taught by the same master.

Although murder and robbery are unacceptable to the world, human desires cannot be completely restrained by rules, so murder and robbery happen every day in private, and it is not surprising!

"Are you... from Yaowang Valley?" The woman, who was about to escape, stood in front of the door and said to the masked man who was some distance away from her.

"It seems that today I not only have to get the treasure map, but also get rid of you!"

The leader, upon hearing that the woman had recognized his sect at a glance based on just a few rounds of fighting, wondered if the world knew that disciples of Medicine King Valley had killed people and stolen treasures, how would they survive in the martial arts world? He immediately became murderous and gave chase!

Seeing this, the woman turned around and tried to escape, but unexpectedly, the moment she stepped out of the door, a huge net above her head captured her.

The two men on both sides of the door who were also here to kill people and steal treasures knocked the woman in black unconscious with a palm, pulled her up and ran towards the dense forest outside. As they left, they did not forget to mock the people from Yaowang Valley!

"The mighty Medicine King Valley! We can't even beat a woman! How shameful! Hahahaha!"
