Xu Qi ‘an regretted asking the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
It wasn’t because the question itself was inappropriate, but because the way he asked it was inappropriate … He had self-detonated.
Number five, Lina, didn’t know that he was number three. Xu Qi ‘an told her that he was an outer member of the Heaven and Earth Society. However, the question just now had, without a doubt, exposed his identity.
Well, it’s all li Miaozhen’s fault for giving me the illusion that number three’s identity has been exposed … It’s also related to my current state of confusion, pain. and lack of clear-headed rationality … Xu Qi ‘an’s expression was a little stiff, and he looked at Lina carefully.
Leena shouted and waved her arms excitedly, promised granny Tiangang that I would not tell anyone about this. I would not tell anyone that I heard the news from her.”
Oh, he got the news from granny Tiangang … Wait, she still hasn’t reacted to my werewolf jump?
A talent … Xu Qi ‘an looked at Lina, his eyes full of admiration.
“That’s your freedom. A gentleman never forces others.”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded, not intending to force her. But after Lina heaved a sigh of relief, he said, “”Let’s calculate your expenses while you’re staying at the Xu residence.”
He first looked at Lina’s beautiful little dress and said, ‘”My younger sister has made two sets of clothes for you. They are made of the best silk and given to you by the Emperor. It is ten taels of silver each.
“The accommodation fee is three silver taels a night. You’ve stayed at home for quite a few days, so it’s three taels. Miss Lina, I don’t need to tell you how much you can eat, right? you’ve eaten forty taels of silver from me in the past few days.
now, please pay for the expenses. The total is one hundred and twenty taels.
Lina was dumbfounded. She looked at him in a daze and said, “”You’re amazing, you can calculate the total amount of silver so quickly.”
Hehe, I was just spouting nonsense … To trick an idiot like you, do you need to be calculative? You can’t figure it out anyway … No, I’ve also been led astray by her.
Xu Qi ‘an patted the edge of the bed and said loudly, ‘”You understand my point.”
but I can’t break my promise, ” the black- skinned kid said. I have to keep my promise.
“Very well, then please pay the silver, or get out of my house.” Xu Qi ‘an said fiercely.
“I …” Lina’s eyes reddened. She felt that a foreigner like her had been bullied and had no one to rely on. She stomped her feet and said,
I’ll leave. I’ll go find Golden Lotus Daoist priest. Even if I starve to death, die outside, or live on the streets, I won’t betray granny Tiangang.
“Wait,”
Xu Qi ‘an stopped her and made a final effort. granny Tiangang is in the southern region, right? I’m in the capital. The two places are tens of thousands of miles apart. If you and I don’t say anything, how can I be considered to have broken my promise? ”
“Is that so?” Leena questioned.
of course, ” Xu Qi ‘an nodded seriously.”lt’s like sleeping with a woman in the education workshop. But if you don’t pay, you’re not a coward. Am I right?”
Lina was stunned. She thought about it and felt that Xu ningyan’s words made sense.
Xu Qi ‘an guided her patiently. besides, you’re alone in a foreign land. What’s the big deal about sacrificing your reputation for survival? no one will blame you.
Leena hesitated and wavered.
Xu Qi ‘an gave him the final blow. I’ll feed you for three days in the guiyue restaurant. You can eat to your heart’s content.
Gulp … Leena secretly swallowed her saliva and said in a crisp voice, “”Deal, but you have to swear not to tell anyone.”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
Lina turned around and jogged to the door. She opened the door and stuck her head out to look around for a moment. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she returned to the table and said,
it’s the last time. Number three asked him why his friend often picked up money through the book of the nether world fragment. Our Gu clan’s heavenly Gu tribe knows the sky above and the geography below. We can see the stars above and the mountains and rivers below. We know everything.
I went to ask the Leader of the heavenly Gu tribe. granny Tiangang. She said that the guy who picked up the silver must be him and not. friend .
Suddenly, Lina stopped talking. She looked at Xu Qi ‘an in a daze. Her eyes widened bit by bit, and she looked extremely shocked. She pointed at Xu Qi’ an and screamed,
“Y-y-you … It’s number three?”
You just realized? Xu Qi ‘an cupped his hands in his heart and said expressionlessly, “‘Yes, I’m number three, but I promised the Golden Lotus Taoist not to reveal my identity. But now, we’ve broken our promise, so it’s no big deal.”
Lina stared at him blankly for a long time. She finally accepted the fact that Xu Qi ‘an was number three. She felt that everyone had broken their promise, and the guilt in her heart was reduced a lot.
“Granny Tiangang said that twenty years ago, two thieves stole something very precious from a large family. Some of the large family members had already reacted, while some still haven’t noticed.
“Granny Tiangang even asked me where you were. When I said you were in the capital, granny Tiangang couldn’t believe it. She thought that you shouldn’t be in the capital.”
“Wait a moment.”
Xu Qi ‘an interrupted Lina. He leaned against the pillow and remained silent for the time it took to make a cup of tea. Then, he said slowly, “You can continue.”
“After that, before I left the southern borders, granny Tiangang told me that one of the two thieves was her husband. There’s a legend in the southern border that the poison God will wake up from the abyss one day and destroy the world, turning Jiuzhou into a world of only poison..
