After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 177 Where's my pride?
After Zheng Kun finished speaking, Qi Ye could no longer hold on and rushed upstairs in a few strides.

That's impossible; it's impossible for everything to have been stolen.

This warehouse is enormous; even if all the items in the entire mansion were placed here, it still wouldn't be full.

The items on the second and third floors took up half the space here, all neatly categorized and arranged. However, they were scattered here and there, and it would take quite a while to retrieve them all one by one.

Not to mention all these things, even ten or twenty Qiankun bags wouldn't be enough to hold them all!
Qi Ye reacted quickly; as soon as the formation trembled, he immediately led his men over. Unless there were ten people breaking into the warehouse and stealing at the same time, and they also had enough Qiankun bags, it would be impossible to do so.

It is absolutely impossible for ten people to break into the warehouse at the same time.

The more people there are, the bigger the commotion will be. Manager Zhou is always alert; if there are only one or two people, he might be able to sneak up quietly, but if there are ten, he would have noticed them long ago.

But no matter how impossible it seemed to him, when he reached the second floor and found it completely empty, his vision went black and his body trembled.

Where are my things?
I have so many airs about me!

Where is my baby??
Before Zheng Kun could catch up, he heard Qi Ye's angry roar from the second floor—

"No!"

Qi Ye took a step back, pressing his hand to his chest, his face extremely pale.

He stared in disbelief at the empty room before him, then turned and went to the stairs.

He wants to see the third floor!
When he stopped on the third floor and saw the empty space that was no different from the second floor, he was almost bursting with rage!

What a beast! Who not only stole his treasures from his warehouse, but also inhumanely moved all the boxes and shelves away!

"Chase them! Chase them right now!"

……

The Qi family mansion was very large, with over a hundred servants, many masters in each household, and a considerable number of children.

Each household had its own courtyard, or even multiple courtyards, which were all some distance apart. At this late hour, it was not so quick to impose martial law on the entire household and search the entire place.

Moreover, Qi Ye did not know whether the thief remained in the mansion or had escaped, so he had to send half of his men out to search, which made the search even less efficient.

Qi Heng was initially on tenterhooks, but upon returning, he discovered that the people in his household had not yet found the place.

That's true. These are guest rooms, and they're only used for visiting guests. They're usually left unused, and the location isn't very convenient.

Whether they notify the owner or search for the thief, they won't find this place immediately.

……

Soon, Zhiyin, the steward beside Qi Rong, arrived here with his men.

"Quick, go in and search!"

"Just barge in, don't hesitate!"

The guards rushed in quickly, not caring at all whether they would disturb the people resting or cultivating here. They immediately started banging on the door and kicked it open before there was any movement inside.

Zhiyin stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a serious and wary expression, surveying the surroundings, including the courtyard wall. Not even a fly could escape his eyes.

A major incident occurred at the manor: the storeroom was robbed, alarming all the masters.

The thief has not yet been found, and everyone in the household is on edge, fearing that the thief is still hiding in the shadows with some other scheme. When the incident occurred, Qi Rong was sleeping with his two concubines in his arms. He was still dazed when he was awakened, but he began to panic after he came to his senses.

He is the patriarch of the Qi family, and all the Qi family's public treasury assets are gone?!

He was instantly sobered up, as were his concubines. Suddenly, one of the concubines mentioned, "How come there are thieves all of a sudden? Our mansion has always been peaceful before... Master, could this be related to the young master?"

Qi Rong frowned subconsciously, "Heng'er wouldn't do such a thing."

He knew Qi Heng's personality well; he was extremely serious and would never say a soft word to him, let alone ask him to do something like this.

Another concubine exclaimed in alarm, "Even if it wasn't the young master, he brought so many outsiders with him today. Could it be that they were the ones who did it?"

Qi Rong then realized that this made a lot of sense.

It wasn't my son who did it, but the friends he brought along are a different story!

So he immediately sent the steward, Zhiyin, to inform the head of the family. After hearing this, the head of the family ordered Zhiyin to search the guest rooms and sent someone to Qi Heng's courtyard.

However, Zhiyin had already received a message from his subordinates while on the road. His subordinates said that they had come to nothing and only after inquiring did they learn that Qi Heng had not returned to the courtyard at all that night!
Even before the direct envoy arrived, he subconsciously felt that this matter was probably related to Young Master Heng, but it still needed to be verified.

"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to trespass at this hour!"

"Who is it? Get out!"

The people in the guest rooms were alerted by the servants, and panicked shouts rang out.

Startled, the people came out of their rooms, looking agitated and angry.

This made Zhiyin raise an eyebrow in confusion: The person was still in the guest room, and hadn't escaped?
Could it be that it wasn't these guests who did it, but... it was done by the young master alone?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Qi Heng's angry yet cold voice—

"What are you doing? Who sent you here?!"

Zhiyin was taken aback. He looked up and saw Qi Heng and a woman walking out of the room one after the other.

Qi Heng's face was full of displeasure, while the woman... was actually bending down and adjusting her outer garment!

It was dark and deserted; a lone man and woman were alone. What they were doing seemed self-evident.

"Young Master Heng..." Zhiyin panicked and quickly stepped forward. "I came here on the orders of the master. The manor has been robbed, and the entire storeroom has been looted. They are currently conducting a thorough search of the manor. Are you aware of this, young master?"

Qi Heng was completely stunned. "What did you say? The entire warehouse is empty?!"

No, what is Zhiyin saying?
The entire warehouse? That's three floors, and two of them are used for storing things!
When Mo Jiuwei was moving things from the warehouse by herself, only Qi Heng was standing outside keeping watch, so he didn't know what was going on inside or how much Mo Jiuwei had moved.

But he felt that it didn't take long; she came out before he could urge her, so he could imagine that there wasn't much stuff.

But what Qi Heng didn't know was that Mo Jiuwei came out early because she moved things too quickly. While others carried things one by one, she was different; she directly put the shelves into her immortal mansion!

The immortal abode is very large; a single storeroom is far from enough for it, so there's no need to worry about not having enough space.

The numerous shelves on the second and third floors were a boon for Mo Jiuwei, who could simply collect them one by one.

In other words, there was no way to move the entire small building into the immortal mansion; otherwise, Mo Jiuwei would have moved it even faster.

Qi Heng couldn't see it, but the members of the Immortal Sect who had been staying in the Immortal Mansion saw it clearly, so they understood what Zhiyin meant.
