From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 89 A Strong Man in His Life
Chen Qiye nodded happily: "If that's the case... then I'll try my method first, focusing on finding places outside Kyoto where bandits often appear, to see if there are any traces of Si Lili in those places."

Ying Qi was stunned: "Bandits?"

"Yes, in fact, I know that a ninth-rank master can't just be a small-time bandit who robs and blocks the road."

"But Lord Ying, why don't you think about it from another perspective? What if this mysterious person took advantage of this thinking error and hid the person in the place where the bandits lived? No one would have thought of this, right?"

"Although I was not at the scene when Si Lili was robbed, I can tell from Lord Ying's brief description that this man seems reckless, but he is actually very thoughtful. Otherwise, he would not have been found by the Inspection Office for so long."

"Of course, Chen is not questioning the ability of the Inspection Office. I just think that you gentlemen might try a different way of thinking."

In fact, Ying Qi just found out that Chen Qiye was the biggest suspect in the kidnapping of Si Lili.

If the dean had not personally told him before he came, now seeing Chen Qiye's serious attitude, he would really believe that this guy was analyzing the situation seriously and helping to find a way to find Si Lili.

However, after hearing this, Ying Qi suddenly realized that the matter of looking for Si Lili had caused quite a stir within the Inspection Institute, and even their Sixth Department, which was responsible for assassinations, had sent people to help.

It can be said that I looked in many places.

But there was no progress at all. Many people in the Inspection Institute believed that it was the ninth-rank master who secretly took Si Lili back to Northern Qi.

The border defense line can stop ordinary people, but it certainly can't stop the ninth rank.

However, now that Chen Qiye said this, it proved that Si Lili was still in the territory of Qing Kingdom.

Bandits?

Yes, the Inspectorate has checked many places, but the remote mountainous areas in the suburbs where bandits and robbers are active have never been checked.

Of course, this is not the fault of the Inspection Office. After all, the person who took Si Lili away was a ninth-rank official, and his whereabouts could not be traced. He might have just hidden her in some inconspicuous corner, making it very difficult to find her.

The only way is to follow Chen Qiye, the biggest suspect, but he can't keep up...
Ying Qi clasped his hands together and said admiringly, "Mr. Chen is really smart. We really haven't thought about this direction."

"Since Master Chen can think of this, he should have a clear target of suspicion, right?"

"How about this? Our original plan was to find the person within a month. Then after seven days, I will personally bring the people from the Inspection Institute to meet with Master Chen. Then, Master Chen will be asked to answer our questions and point out the direction for us."

Chen Qiye clapped his hands: "Alright, that's decided. Chen will definitely cooperate."

"Then Mr. Chen, please stay. I will go back and report first."

"Master Ying, please take care. Someone, please escort Master Ying out."

After Yingqi's figure completely disappeared, Chen Qiye laughed a few times, picked up the fruit plate on the table and started eating the fruit leisurely.

Recently, nine masters were trained at one time. Even though the family had some money, they still couldn't afford this kind of consumption. In fact, Chen Qiye was about to turn from a rich second generation into a poor second generation, and was just worried about where to get the money. Someone immediately came to deliver the ransom, no, the reward, and it came at the right time.

Forcing people to absorb nuclear radiation to improve their strength. If he didn't have an external plug-in, assisted by medicinal baths, and using true qi to improve his physique, the transformed people would simply not be able to withstand this kind of energy that is forcibly introduced into their bodies.

And even if he does it himself, it won't be done in one go and for all.

Forcing something to grow too fast will eventually damage its foundation. Once the foundation is damaged, as the strength gradually increases and reaches a threshold that the body can withstand, it will face the risk of difficulty in improving its cultivation or even regressing.

In order to solve this risk, it is necessary to take a few more medicinal baths after a certain period of time. As for how many times, whether the interval is half a year, a year or longer, each person's physique is different and the situation will be different.

But it usually takes about one or two years, and the number of medicinal baths is about two or three times.

Therefore, if he wants to steadily develop and strengthen the power in his hands, he will have to pay a large sum of money in the future.

Of course, the subsequent medicinal baths were much simpler than the first transformation. He didn't need to supervise it personally. He could just prepare the medicinal materials and let others take a bath.

The emperor's reward should not be too shabby, it should be able to make up for his current financial gap. Although life in the mansion is no different from before, in fact, only he, the head of the family, knows that if he doesn't find a way to make money, he will have to save meat in the future.

The hairpin that Chen Qiye bought as a reward for Qin Feier was obtained by digging out his underwear book.

If Yingqi didn't come today, he would go out and find a way to earn money.

And...even if he knows that there will be a reward from the emperor in the future, it seems that he still has to go out and earn money for now.

The emperor issued an imperial edict to reward people, and the procedure was so complicated that it was hard to tell how long it would take. If it dragged on for half a year, the family would have trouble making ends meet.

As for why you don't go home and ask your dad for money...
Perhaps due to the influence of his previous life, he felt a little ashamed to go out and work on his own.

The more Chen Qiye thought about it, the more he felt that it was time to leave. He had not originally planned to go out today.

But when I looked at the sky outside, I realized it was still early and I couldn't find an excuse to be lazy.

He got up, went back to his room, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out to earn money.

When thinking about making money, the first person that came to Chen Qiye's mind was Fan Sizhe.

This guy is not great in other areas, but when it comes to making money, no one knows more than him. It will be a good idea to seek advice from this brother-in-law.

Chen Qiye, who was about to go out, walked out of the room and came to the living room, where he ran into Qin Feier and Ye Xiaoling, who were dressed up beautifully, talking and laughing, as if they were also getting ready to go out.

Seeing him, Ye Xiaoling came up to him happily.

"Master, I was just looking for you."

"What do you want from me?"

Chen Qiye looked at her expression and thought to himself that something was wrong.

But what are you afraid of?

"I'm going to go out with Sister Fei'er to buy some things. The ingredients and spices at home are almost used up."

"Um...you want silver?"

Ye Xiaoling nodded cutely: "It doesn't take much, just give me a hundred taels first."

Chen Qiye almost choked. This spendthrift woman, why didn't I notice that she spent money so lavishly before? She didn't need much, just give her a hundred taels first...
However, Chen Qiye has always been a person who cares about his reputation. In the past, when the little maid asked him for money, he did not hesitate at all and gave her as much as she asked. Sometimes he would even give several times more.

But now asking him to pay several hundred taels... he really can't do it.

In order to maintain his demeanor as the head of the family, Chen Qiye calmly took off the jade ring on his thumb.

"I don't have any money on me right now, so you can use this as a pawn. It will be enough for you to buy anything."

"what?"

Ye Xiaoling was confused.

"Master, you've been carrying this for a long time. If you don't have it with you, just go back and get it!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm too lazy to find it for you, okay? That's it. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Chen Qiye directly stuffed the jade ring into the maid's hand, then left without looking back.
