Translator: 549690339
Well, with brother Chu’s experience in the ways of the world, he would not rashly mention the fragment of the book of the nether world if he knew that Erlang was ‘unwilling to reveal his identity’.
Erlang was able to chat with Chu Yuan for so long. He was indeed worthy of the spring examination. His level was not bad.
When she arrived at li Miaozhen’s room, she heard Su SU’s crisp voice,”Dad, hey, dad, hey …”
Like a recorder, he repeated it over and over again, looking overjoyed.
“You’ve already started practicing how to call me father? Don’t call me father, call me father.” Xu Qi ‘an pushed the door open and entered the room.
Susu, who was wearing an exquisite and complicated white dress, chuckled and said, “”What does it have to do with you? your stupid child is really interesting. Master taught you how to read and wrote” dad. “Master said:Father.
“Your stupid child said,’AI !”‘
Susu laughed so hard that her feet slipped, and she leaned on the table, trembling.
Xu Qi. an was speechless.
No wonder li Miaozhen looked like she was doubting her life.
Then why was Chu Yuanqian so angry? He thought for a moment and held back from asking, not wanting to expose his companion’s scars.
“I’m going out for a while. If you’re free, can you come with me?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect.
The word “unhappy” was written all over the saintess “little face as she said in an annoyed tone, “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t disturb my cultivation.”
Her tone was. little harsh. Don’t vent your little Bean’s anger on me … Xu Qi ‘an explained, ‘
“I know of a private residence of High Duke Cao. There are many extraordinary things hidden inside. Shall we go and explore it together?”
I’m interested now … “Sure.” Li Miaozhen laughed.
High Duke Cao’s private residence was a few li away from the Imperial City, in a small courtyard facing a Lake.
Although it was called a small courtyard, it was actually not small. It had two entrances, and the door was locked. No one had lived there for a long time.
Li Miaozhen squinted her eyes and examined the house. She snorted coldly, “”A private residence like this, not far from the Imperial City, in a good location and quiet, would cost at least eight thousand silver.
and high Duke Cao has more than a dozen of these private residences to use as a Golden House to hide and pamper his mistress. It’s simply detestable and deserving of death.
‘m sorry, but not long after, I’ll also become a man who will buy a private house and have. mistress … Xu Qi ‘an teased him silently. He looked around, but his instinct for danger didn’t give him any feedback.
There was no one lying in ambush in the surroundings. Duke Cao’s private residence was indeed well-hidden.
Seeing that no one was around, Xu Qi ‘an, li Miaozhen and Zhong Li jumped over the high wall and landed in the courtyard.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly turned around and opened his arms. The next moment, Zhong Li, who had been kicked when she was climbing over the wall, fell into his arms.
Senior martial sister Zhong’s body was soft, and he could still feel the elasticity of her skin through the cloth robe.
“Thank you …” Zhong Li was overjoyed. Her face was supposed to be on the
bluunu
“No need to thank me, practice makes perfect.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
“Li Miaozhen opened her mouth and sighed with pity.
A fifth-grade Warlock and a prophet. Who knew how many geniuses had been stuck to death?
No one had lived in this courtyard for a long time, but it did not appear to be in a bad state. It was likely that High Duke Cao had sent people to maintain and clean it regularly.
After passing through the courtyard and entering the inner hall, the three of them groped around and found that this was a normal residence. It was idle and there was nothing too precious.
“There should be a secret room.” Li Miaozhen analyzed.
“It’s not a secret room, it’s a cellar,”
Xu Qi ‘an met the Holy Virgin’s surprised gaze and explained, ‘”‘The structure of the room and the size of the room are not enough to hide a secret room.”
Li Miaozhen opened the sachet and gently patted it. Wisps of green smoke emerged and went underground.
A wisp of green smoke returned and whispered in li Miaozhen’s ear.
Li Miaozhen listened for a moment and said,”follow me.”
She took Xu Qi ‘an and Zhong Li to the study room that was connected to the master bedroom. She pushed the big chair behind the desk and stepped on it.
“Boom …”
The floor tiles shattered, and a dark hole appeared in the ground. The steep stone steps led to the cellar.
The three of them followed the stone steps into the cellar. The heavy air reverberated with their footsteps.
The cellar wasn’t deep, just like the cellars used by ordinary wealthy families to store ice and vegetables. However, Cao guogong used it to store precious antiques.
Li Miaozhen lit up the oil lamps embedded in the wall, one by one, bringing a fiery glow to the dark cellar.
There were rows and rows of antique shelves in the cellar, filled with all kinds of antiques, such as porcelain bottles, Jade, bronze beasts, night pearls, and so on.
It dazzled the eyes.
The world didn’t lack beauty, but it lacked the eyes to discover beauty … Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of this famous saying.
Then, he heard li Miaozhen say, “”Every item here is very valuable. If we exchange them for silver, we can save many homeless and starving refugees.”
As she said these words, her eyes were shining with excitement.
Xu Qi ‘an’s neck stiffened, and she slowly turned to look at her.
Did I bring you here just for this? Do you believe I’ll kill you to silence you … He coughed and said, ‘
“That’s true. However, you have to do charity within your means. Only a fool would go bankrupt to do charity.”
“Aren’t these ill-gotten gains?” Li Miaozhen squinted at him.
Are you sure you’re li Miaozhen, the great Wangqing?
“When the time comes, I’ll take 30% to do good things for you.” Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and didn’t want to talk about it. He said,
these things are either from corruption and bribery or from other shady channels.
Zhong Li reached out her little hand and picked up a blue ice bead. It was crystal clear, as if the blue ocean was hidden in it. Under the light of the oil lamp, it reflected a soul-stirring light..
