Chapter 63: Spoils of War

Shi Xuan saw the purple-clothed girl apologize to him in the name of Fangshi, and he understood who she was. He took two steps forward and bowed: "What's wrong with you, girl? The villain is too cunning. Not only did he unexpectedly attack in Qingyu Tower, but he also used a formation to prevent the fluctuation of magic and the sound of fighting from leaking out. It's great that you can come so quickly."

Don't be too unreasonable in other people's places, and Fangshi is really not at fault in this matter. If it really comes to poor supervision, the board should be hit on Qingyu Tower first.

Moreover, Shi Xuan also understood why he locked his Qi, and others also knew the reason for his cultivation level. He didn't feel it when he was far away. Just now, he took two steps forward and got closer to the purple-clothed girl. He clearly sensed the faint pressure from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth leaking from her body. This should be the performance of the Qi-inducing period.

Just now, Shi Xuan weighed the name in his heart for a long time, whether to call her senior or fellow Taoist. Although the purple-clothed girl looked young, it was not impossible that she was much older than Shi Xuan at the Qi-inducing stage. After all, cultivators still had many ways to maintain their youth, so it was natural to call her "senior". However, based on experience, it was a mistake to call a woman who looked so young old, so it seemed better to call her "fellow Taoist". In the end, Shi Xuan used the more general term "girl" to get by.

Shi Xuan's attitude made the purple-clothed girl's face much more relaxed. She turned her head and glared at the two middle-aged men in Taoist robes: "What do you have to say in Qingyu Tower!"

The middle-aged monk with a refined appearance and a faint aura of pressure replied with a wry smile: "Miss Ming, this matter is indeed negligent of our Qingyu Tower. I didn't expect someone to collude with people in our building and borrow our place to do these crazy things. And this yard is ready for repair. Usually no one comes here."

"Don't make excuses. You can't get rid of the responsibility for people in your building doing such things! Why didn't you remember to check their family background?!" The purple-clothed girl Miss Ming still said sternly, "Did you send someone to catch the thief?"

The refined monk couldn't explain that some people had clean family backgrounds, but they could also be tempted to fall. He could only signal the middle-aged monk next to him to answer, and he smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

This middle-aged monk was not as good-looking as the elegant monk, but he was also tall and strong, with regular features and a short beard. However, he did not have the aura of heaven and earth spirits. He should be a monk in the out-of-body stage. He said to the purple-clothed girl respectfully: "I have sent people to arrest him. This Taoist friend solved it very quickly. I think the waiter has not escaped from Qingyu Tower yet." Hearing this, the purple-clothed girl nodded slightly, thought for a while, and pointed at Shi Xuan and said: "What about this Taoist friend? You don't say anything? This Taoist friend must be very powerful, otherwise you will be in trouble!" The elegant monk took out a jade card and handed it to Shi Xuan: "This Taoist friend, I am An Yunhai, one of the owners of Qingyu Tower. This time, we were careless in Qingyu Tower and let the bad guys take advantage of the opportunity. This Qingyu Please accept the card. With this card, you can get half price for food and lodging at our Qingyu Building in the future."

Shi Xuan was not polite. He took the Qingyu card and took a look. A vivid green carp was engraved on the surface of the jade card, and the number 173 was on the back. Then he bowed to An Yunhai and said, "I am sorry to refuse. In fact, Senior An is too kind. This is just an unexpected thing. No one wants it."

Shi Xuan's good attitude made An Yunhai very satisfied. He nodded and wanted to say something, but at this time two Qingyu Building guards came with the waiter from before. An Yunhai had to turn around and look at them seriously.

After the two Qingyu Tower guards saluted the purple-clothed girl and An Yunhai, they said to An Yunhai: "The waiter was hiding at the corner gate. He started running when he saw someone escape, so he was caught quickly."

The purple-clothed girl saw that everyone was caught, so she said to An Yunhai: "Then I will take these two people back to the mansion for interrogation. This, uh, Taoist friend." Suddenly, she hesitated, remembering that she had been here for so long and actually forgot to ask the victim's name. Her face flushed slightly and she said: "I, haven't I asked your name yet?"

Shi Xuan laughed secretly in his heart, but he still said politely: "I am Shi Xuan, I don't know what Miss Ming wants to do."

"Well, since they want to harm you, why don't you interrogate me together, Taoist friend Shi. Also, my name is Ming Qingyue." Seeing that Shi Xuan didn't care about her negligence, Ming Qingyue's face returned to normal, and she also reported her name, and invited Shi Xuan to interrogate together.

"Of course I am willing to do so, but I just thought that there should be at least one more criminal who has not been caught." Shi Xuan certainly wanted to interrogate these guys to find out why they were so crazy, but before that, there was one more person who had to be caught.

Ming Qingyue was stunned when she heard what Shi Xuan said, and then she asked anxiously: "Why didn't you say it earlier? What if he ran away?"

"Miss Ming, don't worry, that person should be waiting in their nest. As long as there is no big noise here, he should not find it. Now I have to ask Miss Ming to interrogate these two people so that we can know where their nest is." Shi Xuan pointed at the two people who were caught and told Ming Qingyue the name, appearance, characteristics, etc. at the same time.

Originally, the captured waiter and another cultivator in the Qi-nourishing stage looked pale and wanted to be tough when they saw Ming Qingyue coming over, but who knew that Ming Qingyue directly cast a spell, and the two confessed in a daze.

After asking the two about the secret place where they were meeting, Ming Qingyue told the four guards behind him: "Remember the place, right? Go quietly when you go there, don't alert the enemy. The bad guys are probably not there, but are spying around. They are very alert, so you must be extremely careful."

After the four guards left, Ming Qingyue remembered that she hadn't even looked inside the yard yet. The more anxious she was, the more she missed. She pretended to be casual and said to An Yunhai and Shi Xuan: "Before they come back, let's go in and take a look at the dead men to see if we can find anything."

After saying that, she didn't even look at the other three people, and walked towards the yard with her head held high, so that they couldn't see her slightly red face.

An Yunhai signaled the other middle-aged monk with a half-white beard to take people to stay there to watch the two prisoners, and he called Shi Xuan to follow Ming Qingyue in.

As soon as Shi Xuan stepped into the yard, he heard Ming Qingyue's gentle voice: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Shi's thunder method is so good, it should be the fourth level, this kind of innate small magical power is rare."

Looking carefully, Ming Qingyue was already squatting on the ground to check the cultivator in the Qi-nourishing stage who was killed by his thunder at the door. He could only humbly say to Ming Qingyue's praise: "No, no, it's just luck."

An Yunhai stood by and said with a smile: "How could it be luck? This kind of innate small magical power must be either outstanding in talent and bone, or excellent in technique. Fellow Daoist Shi is a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage at such a young age, so he should have both." Ming Qingyue also stood up and nodded in agreement.

Shi Xuan had to smile bitterly: "I'm still not as good as the two of you. I'm still a long way from the Qi-inducing stage." Of course, he couldn't directly admit that his talent and bone were average, but his technique was very outstanding.

Ming Qingyue's face looked much better than when she was frosty at first. At this time, she smiled slightly with a heroic look on her face and said, "Qingyue doesn't know what the An Dong family is like, but Qingyue and Fellow Daoist Shi are different. There are too many unique factors to reach this level." Then, without waiting for the two to reply, she pointed to the body of the cultivator in the Qi-nourishing stage on the ground and said, "This person should be of a relatively low status. Not only does he have only a few talismans left on him, he also has only a few low-grade spirit stones, and no elixirs or magic tools. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shi can recognize who is the leader?"

Ming Qingyue's smile was quite dazzling. Even Shi Xuan, who had a good heart for Taoism, was stunned. However, it was only a moment of stunned. Hearing Ming Qingyue's question, Shi Xuan pointed at the body of Li Daoren and said, "This person should be the leader."

The three searched for a lot of things on Li Daoren's fragmented body. Of course, a large part of it had been damaged by magic, especially the damage to the storage bag had the greatest impact on the things inside. The remains of those low-level monster materials, spiritual herbs, elixirs, etc. made Shi Xuan feel heartbroken.

The items that were not damaged in the end were: a low-grade magic weapon, a golden flying spike, 165 low-grade spirit stones, and a jade slip.

Ming Qingyue picked up the jade slip, put his spiritual sense into it, and then shook his head and said, "This is the practice method he practiced, "Qingyuan Sword Manual", which is not very good, and can probably be sold for dozens of low-grade spirit stones."

Because no clues were found, the three of them checked the bodies of several other people. Unfortunately, these guys were all paupers. It seemed that they had given all the spirit stones to Li Daoren. They only had a few on them, and there were not many talismans, which were not as valuable as their storage bags! Only the low-grade magic weapon, the Fiery Flag, and the practice method jade slip "Yanhuo Jue" found on the out-of-body period cultivator were relatively good.

Ming Qingyue sighed and said, "It seems that I can only ask those bad guys. Let's give all these tools to Fellow Daoist Shi as compensation."

Shi Xuan declined for a while, but seeing that Ming Qingyue and An Yunhai really didn't care much about these tools, he accepted them all. In total, there were two low-grade magic tools, two jade slips of skills, 176 low-grade spirit stones, more than ten talismans, and four storage bags. Shi Xuan calculated in his mind that this should be enough to cover the expenses in half a year. It was really an unexpected fortune!

Although it was not much money for Ming Qingyue and An Yunhai, it was a big sum for Shi Xuan, so Shi Xuan was thinking of fishing for law enforcement. He would stroll around the market with the Soul-Bewitching Banner every day, and go to secluded places at night. It wouldn't take long before he would become rich. Unfortunately, this was not in line with his own character, so he had to give up. What if he caught a "shark"?
