In the Xia Building, Xiaoli took Lu Xunhuan to get his clothes and badge, and then took him to the fifth floor.

"Supreme Jade, you are young and have good legs, so you should live at the top."

She pushed open a door: "Five-hundred-eight, it's yours."

Lu Xunhuan walked in holding the clothes and badge.

The room was neither too big nor too small, just like a room in an inn.

A bed, a table and two chairs.

There is also a wardrobe and what looks like a bookcase.

Xiaoli said, "You can sleep and rest here. Wash up by the well in the backyard. I'll bring you a towel and a washbasin later."

"And take a shower. There's a bathhouse on the first floor. They're separate for men and women. Don't go to the wrong one."

Lu Xun Huan placed the clothes and badge on the table: "Do you usually stay here?"

Xiaoli replied, "That depends on how many tasks Qingxia has. If she has a lot and is often out and about, she won't have much time to stay."

Lu Xun Huan asked again, "Is this a business trip? Do you have travel expenses?"

Xiaoli smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you need to go out, Qingxia will apply for travel expenses. Anyway, you just need to follow her."

She added, "We also have three meals a day in the cafeteria on the first floor. This is your first time there, so bring your badge. Once you get to know the place, you can go wherever you want."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, I understand. I still have luggage at the inn, I'll go get it."

Xiaoli said, "Go quickly and come back soon. Maybe Qingxia has a mission and wants to take you on it."

After saying that, she turned around and said, "I'll go get you a towel and a basin."

After she left, Lu Xunhuan took a set of clothes and looked at it.

Xiaoli helped him get three sets of clothes, and he put them on while shaking himself.

In the Xialou, men's clothes are all brown.

Women's clothes are all blue.

Two words were embroidered on the chest of the clothes: Xialou.

He put on his clothes and pants, then picked up the badge and looked at it.

On the front of the badge, there is the word "Xia Lou", and on the back, there is the number 80.

In other words, he might be the 80th employee hired by Xialou.

After putting on his clothes and hanging his badge, he went back to the inn.

In fact, he didn't have much luggage, just a bag of clothes, some silver, and a magic sword.

The inn is not far from Xialou, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to go there and back.

When he returned to Room 508, Xiaoli had already brought him the towel and washbasin.

It was not yet time for lunch, and he had nothing to do, so he sat down cross-legged and began to practice.

Ever since the golden hoop disappeared into his head, he could increase his cultivation speed by 500% without holding it.

He practiced for about an hour when suddenly a bell rang.

When he opened his eyes, he heard footsteps outside and a voice saying, "Oh, I'm starving. It's finally time to eat."

Only then did he realize that the bell was to notify everyone to have dinner.

He left the room, walked down the stairs from the fifth floor to the first floor, followed others, and entered the cafeteria.

There was already a queue in the cafeteria, so he stood in line behind them.

The man in front of him turned around, saw him, and asked, "New here?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes."

The man reached out and shook his hand: "Welcome, welcome. I heard Xiaoli say that a handsome guy came earlier, and I was wondering who could be more handsome than me. Oh, there really is someone more handsome than me."

In front, Xiaoli turned around and said, "Brother Pan, can you please have some shame?"

Brother Pan laughed out loud: "Haha, Xiaoli, isn't Brother Pan handsome?"

Xiaoli made a face, turned her head and stopped talking.

When Lu Xunhuan walked to the window, the chef who served him the food didn't ask any questions or ask him to show his badge, but just gave him a large portion.

Maybe Xiaoli had already greeted them before, and they knew there was a new person coming.

Lu Xunhuan carried the sumptuous meal, left the window, and turned to look for a table.

Qingxia walked up to him and said, "Follow me."

He took the meal and followed Qingxia to sit at an empty table.

Qingxia put down her bowl and said, "Eat quickly, and then we'll set off immediately."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Is there a case so soon?"

Qingxia didn't answer his question, but said, "You must know the rules of Xialou. When you go out, you must not talk nonsense. You must be rigorous in everything you do and you must not have any selfish motives. As my assistant, you must obey my arrangements."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll remember it."

Qingxia added, "Also, let me tell you in advance, although we work together, we are just partners, understand?"

"Don't joke around in front of me, don't let your imagination run wild. We're just here to get things done."

She picked up a meatball with her chopsticks and said, "If you act naughty and don't obey my orders, I will ask Captain Ma to fire you."

Lu Xunhuan also picked up a meatball and looked at it: "Where can you find a master like me? Why are you firing me?"

Qingxia said, "As long as you follow the rules, everything will be fine. I also hope that you can become the backbone of Xialou. Come and eat."

After dinner and a quick wash, Qingxia took him out.

She threw her bag to Lu Xunhuan: "Help me carry it, but I warn you, don't look through it."

Lu Xun Huan took her bag and put it on his shoulder: "Where are you going?"

Qingxia took him with her, walking hurriedly: "Mr. Zhang's Mansion."

As she walked, she introduced to him what she was going to do today.

"In the past three months, a flower-stealing thief has appeared in Changzhou City..."

Lu Xunhuan was shocked: "A flower-stealing thief, how could such a thing happen in Western Chu?"

Qingxia asked, "Didn't this happen last week?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "In my hometown, corruption and bullying are common, but I've never heard of a flower-stealing thief."

"So many immortal masters, are they just sitting there doing nothing but sitting there doing nothing, allowing the flower-stealing thieves to run rampant?"

Qingxia turned her head and glanced at him: "Inviting an immortal, doesn't it cost money?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "If you invite us, you have to spend money."

Qingxia stopped talking to him about the money and continued to talk about the case.

"In the past three months, thirteen women have been victimized in Changzhou City. These are the ones who have reported the crime. I don't know how many more there are who haven't."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Those who dare to report the case are truly brave. In this feudal society, there's a high probability that they won't be able to get married."

Qingxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Those who report crimes are all married."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, can't the government find out?"

Qingxia said, "The government has been investigating for nearly three months, but they haven't even found a trace of the flower thief. So, some families can't wait any longer and have invited us to Xialou."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "How dare you take on this kind of case? What if that flower-stealing thief is a top expert from some sect..."

"How did Captain Ma arrange it? He actually assigned you to be in charge of this case, beautiful Miss Qingxia, you are in danger."

Qingxia scolded, "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Captain Ma's arrangement is certainly reasonable."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I know, it's nothing more than luring the snake out of its hole, but the snake is too big, be careful not to catch it and get swallowed by it."

Qingxia scolded again: "Shut your crow mouth."

Lu Xunhuan smiled: "But, thank goodness I'm here, I really am your savior."

Qingxia didn't say anything and just walked quickly with Lu Xunhuan.
