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

Chapter 373

"What happened?!"

"Looks like those two had their things stolen by that guy in front. What audacity! Daring to rob someone openly on the black market?"

"What's there to be afraid of! With so many people dressed the same way, if he just squeezes into the crowd or runs to the stairs at the entrance, who can find him?"

"That's true..."

People are discussing it.

Huang Ye and the others didn't find this strange at all; they had heard similar stories countless times.

Seeing that the three of them had run far away, they returned to their original positions and prepared to continue selecting items.

But then, the male cultivator who had gone to buy the cracked path cried out—

"Oh dear, the beads I chose!"

What's going on here?
Everyone looked at the man and saw that he was frantically searching for something on the ground, where there were rolling beads.

It turned out that the three people bumped into him as they passed by, and he was carefully selecting small beads when he was bumped, causing the beads in his hand to roll to the ground.

"Hurry up and look for it, it's all yours if it's lost!" the stall owner said anxiously.

"How can you blame me? He was the one who hit me!" the male cultivator protested.

"So what? I don't care about anyone else, all I know is that you picked up my beads and then lost them." The stall owner said matter-of-factly, "Enough nonsense, hurry up and find them. If you lose one, you'll have to pay for it!"

"you!"

The male cultivator was furious, but he still had no choice but to pick up the items and search for them.

During this process, he naturally walked towards Huang Ye and the others.

He remained bent over the entire time, his gaze seemingly fixed solely on the ground. As he did so, he nudged the cultivators standing beside him with his arm, saying, "Excuse me, I need to find the bead. Thank you... please make way."

Seeing what had happened, everyone felt sorry for the unfortunate male cultivator and made way for him to pick it up.

[This acting is so good, you really need to be skilled to see through it.]

[It's actually the Silk-Silk Gu. It seems they've used this trick quite a few times.]

Ningning and Xiaoya are too naive; they couldn't see through this tactic and fell for it so easily, not even noticing that someone had tampered with their clothes.

[Yes, Huang Ye and the others are too—naive and ignorant!]

We still need to practice.

Huang Ye and the other six were taken aback.

What does Master mean by this? Could it be that...?

They stared in disbelief at the male cultivator who remained bent over, seemingly frantically searching for the Cracked Bead, and a chill crept up their spines.

This person is actually in cahoots with those three from before!

Why did they cooperate to perform such a natural scene?
Of course, it was to get closer to them. Luckily, I managed to do something in that brief moment when I reached out to push them!
The seven people understood this point, but found it utterly absurd.

They were already being careful enough, but they were still led astray by someone's clumsy act, without any warning or suspicion!
Furthermore, their bodies have been tampered with, yet they haven't noticed anything amiss until now, and haven't sensed any trace of that so-called Gu!
Ningning and Xiaoya's faces, hidden beneath their cloaks, suddenly turned pale!
They believed they had been very cautious the entire way, watching every move of anyone who approached. They had also noticed that quite a few people had glanced at them, but those people had ultimately given up, for which they had felt a little smug—

See, they're useful too; they protected their master!
But now, after hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, they realized how incredibly stupid they had been.

How could they allow this male cultivator to get close to them just because someone fabricated a play? No matter how clever the play was, it was absolutely not an excuse for their dereliction of duty!
"Found them, not one is missing."

Meanwhile, the male cultivator was still acting, diligently finishing up the scene.

He seemed to have been angered by the stall owner. Although he had successfully found all the beads, his tone was cold and angry as he slammed the beads in front of the stall owner.

"Keep your beads safe, I don't want them anymore! Humph, who wants your stuff? I'll buy them somewhere else!"

The stall owner didn't seem to care, just muttering, "If you don't want to buy, you don't want to buy. Who cares?"

Then he glared fiercely at the back of the person who had turned and left.

"Master, what should we do? Did that person approach us on purpose?" Huang Ye asked anxiously.

The mere thought of that "Silk Gu" made her skin itch all over.

She naturally knew what Gu was; it was a kind of insect, and many Gu could burrow into a person's body—it was terrifying to think about!
Huang Ye is quick-witted, but it's a bit too late for him to realize this now.

Mo Jiuwei's words made the seven people even more ashamed—

They didn't just realize it; they were clearly reminded before they understood!

Moreover, they had already tried very hard to examine the area that had been touched, but they found nothing unusual and could not detect the presence of any Gu worms.

"It's alright, let's just play along and continue shopping," Mo Jiuwei replied softly.

Those four men thought we were easy prey, little did they know they were the ones who were easy prey.

[Those who can use such methods must have succeeded many times before, and they have a sharp eye, always targeting wealthy individuals.]

What does this prove? It proves they're very rich!

If all goes well, I might even be able to recoup today's big expense, hehe.

Seven maids: ...

Their eyes almost widened.

Does the master mean to reverse the robbery?
Ningning and Xiaoya panicked first, because after thinking back, they realized that the male cultivator who bought the beads earlier seemed to be a Golden Core cultivator!
With his cultivation alone, he could easily defeat them, not to mention the Gu worms. How could they possibly be a match for him?
Ningning and Xiaoya are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that if they cannot win, they will not be able to protect their master!
They were the ones who brought the person out of the sect. If they hadn't been able to bring them back, not only would they have been unable to get past their own conscience, but they also wouldn't have been able to explain it to the sect leader and the others!

They were anxious, but Mo Jiuwei remained calm and continued searching for treasures as before.

The seven maids knew that the four people were probably secretly observing them from the shadows, so they dared not make any big moves in the open and could only suppress their anxiety and cooperate with Mo Jiuwei.

"...Haha, it's done!"

"I knew it. What use are a few young girls? So many people can't see through their methods, so naturally they can't either."

"By now, those two creatures should have already climbed onto their skin. Once they leave the black market, we'll find an opportunity to make our move!"

The Silk Gu was obtained by Lao Si by chance. There were three in total, but one of them died because it was not raised properly, leaving two remaining.
