Chapter 2569: The Thief Visits at Night
The day before the opening of the Zhongshuang Market was very simple. Ningxia had some extraneous matters and did not go out or anything. It passed in a flash and went out early the next morning.
When she came to Dongli City, she had never been to the west side of the city, because someone had warned them from the beginning that the west side of the city was a bit messy, and although there were a lot of strange and weird things, she thought it would be better to avoid such places less often given Ningxia's trouble-making nature.
However, this journey looked no different from anywhere else. Ningxia secretly laughed at herself for making such a fuss and worrying about something that was not there.
Originally, she thought she would wait nearby for a while, but she didn't expect that before she reached the agreed place, she bumped into Zhenjun Cuiwei who was busy with something unknown.
Ning Xia didn't have time to say hello to the other party, so he was thrown to a disciple by the other party - literally thrown. Looking at the back of the other party waving his hands and leaving in a hurry, Ning Xia's face showed doubts.
"Senior, I'm sorry, our elders happen to have something urgent. Please follow us here to Changxuanju and wait." The disciple who responded to her was very young and looked a little unfamiliar, but she still felt familiar.
....
It took Ningxia a long time to realize that the other party's voice was very familiar. He should have heard it before - the person who knocked on the door in Jianxian Changling.
Seeing that there was still some time until the opening time, Ningxia followed this person to Changxuanju in the west of the city.
She didn't notice that not long after she left, several monks in black cloaks hurried past, which happened to be in the opposite direction to the direction they left.
------------------
The fellow Taoist who led the way introduced himself as Qing Tu, an outer disciple of Qing Cang Peak.
This is really disrespectful. It turns out that this person is well-organized. But this person is much more polite than the ones she met in Xuantian Sword Sect before. It doesn’t matter what your cultivation level is. Anyway, as long as it’s written on your face
If you don't write "I'm awesome", even if you are a Nascent Soul or even a Transformation God, you will probably be severely stepped on.
Ning Xia has experienced this deeply in the short time she came to Xuantian Sword Sect, so she was still surprised to see such a normal guy. And she also saw that the other person was not pretending to be polite for the sake of True Lord Cui Wei, but
He is indeed a good-tempered young man.
The other party told Ningxia that there was a small problem with a batch of goods that came in from the Dongli City station, and that the central store was about to open. It was considered an emergency and had to be dealt with immediately, so there was no time to entertain her.
Ningxia didn't care about this and followed the other party to Changxuan's residence in the west of the city. She might have expected that she would come early and not be able to receive her, so she arranged a seat here in advance and Qingtu personally sent her in.
She originally thought that she should just stay here for a while...right? However——
When the things arranged by Li Chuan arrived in a hurry, Ningxia was wiping the spirit sword very naturally, as if it was her territory. This made Li Chuan, who was worried that someone would no longer be there alone in a strange place, suddenly dumbfounded.
.
He should have known that this child was not an ordinary person and would not become restless because of such a trivial matter.
"You've been waiting for a long time?" Li Chuan opened the seat in front of Ning Xia and sat down on his own.
Ning Xia shook her head, then hesitated and said, "We are... already late, right?"
】
Yes, Qingtu stayed with her for a while after she was brought here in the morning. Later, she was called away by one of his classmates, and then she was the only one left in this private room. Although no one came to disturb her during this period,
She also had no one to wait for, and Li Chuan was still missing.
If he didn't know who Li Chuan was and that he was delayed because of something, he would probably have thought that he was being fooled.
The last time to enter the mall was noon, but Li Chuan had not shown up until three quarters of noon. Ningxia was really not anxious at all until now. Instead, she took out Zhonghuan and Ruzhang, who had been having a hard time these days.
After sorting it out for a while, I secretly wondered what could be so difficult that he had to deal with it until now.
Unexpectedly, someone came to her side after just a few wipes. Seeing the elder's frown, Ningxia probably guessed that something had happened to him.
"It doesn't matter, we can still go in. There are still two or three sticks of incense before the official start." Li Chuan motioned to Ning Xia to follow the others and left the seat, while whispering to her about today's unexpected incident.
"Whose family is that...? Why do I always see her with True Lord Cuiwei of Qingcang Peak?" A disciple of Changxuanju who was about to go out looked at him strangely and disappeared.
The figure behind the door asked.
The companion next to him shook his head: "I don't know, she's very unfamiliar. I've seen her walking with the formation master who recently came out of Lin Xihe's family before. I guess she's from the same group."
"Looking at the high level of cultivation, such a young generation should already have a reputation, shouldn't..."
"Hey, stop reading. You have too much to worry about. Just go and get it done." The companion next to him couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly pulled him away.
------------------
On the other hand, as Li Chuan hurried to the entrance of the North District Zhong Shopping Mall, Ningxia heard about all the unexpected things that the other party encountered today.
It turns out that the owner of Lichuan also sent a batch of materials to the Zhongshuang Market for evaluation and auction this time. The materials they sent this time were relatively precious, and in order to better evaluate and display them, they also paid a large sum of spiritual stones as an intermediary.
There is no fee, so it can be regarded as an internal invitation of the store, so True Lord Cuiwei was able to enter the middle store.
At first, everything was quite normal. I knew that this morning and yesterday, Master Cuiwei applied to enter the exhibition hall to check the status of the batch of materials. Naturally, everything was fine. But I didn't expect that in the morning, I suddenly received a summons from the store staff saying that it was last night.
Someone broke into the tightly guarded exhibition hall and was discovered by the people stationed nearby before he could do anything.
But the situation yesterday was too chaotic. Although the stationed personnel were sure that the thief had violated the restrictions of the exhibition hall without actually doing anything and was trapped, it was just that the other party was obviously a veteran and was very cunning and finally escaped them...
...However, the exhibition hall, which is said to be guarded by a high-level protective array and guarded by dozens of Nascent Souls in turns, was almost stolen. This incident naturally caused an uproar.
Many people, especially the owners who sent spiritual materials to the exhibition this time, were in danger, worried that their belongings would be targeted by thieves, or that something had been done to them unknowingly. Seeing that the store could not hide the matter, they immediately notified everyone to come.
He checked the status of the spiritual materials for display and confirmed their safety, so Li Chuan was delayed because he went to deal with this matter today.
Something like this happened last night, so today's opening was naturally delayed a bit. It was just right for Li Chuan to come back and pick Ningxia up. It's just that——
"Are all the exhibits inspected yesterday really okay?" Ningxia asked curiously.
True Lord Cuiwei's face turned gloomy and he said nothing.
After the on-site personnel verified their identities and let the two people in, another group of people arrived after a long time.
