The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 285 Disguise

"All this nonsense, you just suspect me of being the murderer? But on what grounds?" Su Ninglong lifted her eyelids: "You question me, so I have to prove it to you. Who do you think you are?"

Assistant Sun: "I've heard that the more guilty you are, the more you like to use rhetorical questions. Su Ninglong, are you just making excuses and trying to avoid showing us your wounds?"

For a moment, the entire room fell silent. Su Ninglong ignored Assistant Sun, treating her like air.

What? Does Assistant Sun think he can still act like a tyrant and use torture to extract confessions in the Star Alliance's headquarters?

Yuan Dusen winked at her, signaling her to say less. He then took out a large piece of Starry Sky Eye and placed it in front of Su Ninglong. "As everyone knows, Hunter Su likes to collect Starry Sky Eyes. As long as you untie your bandages and let us take a look, this is yours."

"Everyone knows? Tell me, who else is asking about my preferences?" Su Ninglong changed the subject, making Yuan Dusen and Assistant Sun even more convinced of their own ideas.

Looking at the Eye of the Stars, it's about the size of a fist, and its auction price could reach over a billion.

Su Ninglong was reluctant, but she figured she might as well take the opportunity.

Given their shameless methods, they'll definitely have to show their wounds in public at least once.

However, this also shows that the Star Alliance has been paying close attention to their every move.

"Are they so cheap now that any random gem can be used to question a hunter who has made a huge contribution to society?" Qi Shen sneered, unwilling to give them the satisfaction they wanted.

Su Ninglong felt embarrassed. Luckily, she didn't take the bait; she almost became a "cheap" hunter.

I blame myself for being tortured by the Starry Sky Eye gem for too long; I really need to change my money-grubbing tendencies.

With fewer expenses in the future, there's no need to compromise for a little something.

Qi Shen is right, hunters shouldn't be so cheap.

Suninglong observes the nose with her eyes and the heart with her nose.

One moment they seem very interested, the next they are completely indifferent.

Hara Watari's face turned ashen. "You...you have backbone."

Despite his anger, Hara Watari had to bow to reality, realizing that he didn't have enough leverage.

He could only force a smile and ask, "What do you want?"

Qi Shen said, "What you have, we don't lack. But there's something the Star Glory Alliance owes me an explanation for. I don't know who you went through, but you managed to take over a hundred Secret Agent Tokens from the Token Keeper's Office without my approval, and after half a year, you haven't returned a single one."

Yuan Dusen almost had a heart attack. What did that have to do with me? I was just a scholar and didn't have much contact with the internal affairs of the Star Alliance.

But the Star Alliance did have a lot more Mystic Tokens recently. Could they have been smuggled out from the Token Keeper?
Wu Xingyi really knows how to cause him trouble.

"I do not know."

"Whether you know it or not, return all the borrowed Secret Agent Tokens within a week. I will check them one by one. If you don't return them, you won't need to apply for Secret Agent Tokens anymore. What use is a useless organization?"

Assistant Sun wanted to speak, but Qi Shen suppressed her with his powerful aura, making her feel as if her lips were glued together, and she couldn't speak at all.

With his dignity trampled underfoot time and again, Assistant Sun felt lost, wondering what he had been busy with all his life.

Despite his relentless pursuit of fame, savings, and family harmony, he gained nothing.

But what did she do wrong? Her selfishness was also in order to quickly advance the truth.

No one paid attention to Assistant Sun's inner thoughts. Even if she voiced her self-pity, she would only be considered pretentious and melodramatic.

Hara Watari reluctantly agreed, "Then the wound..."

Qi Shen picked up the Eye of the Stars and placed it in Su Ninglong's hand before slowly untying the knot in Su Ninglong's bandage.

The bandages fell off one by one, revealing the gruesome wounds on his arm, but there were no burn marks.

After a burn, the skin will resemble molten and solidified wax, with an uneven surface.

It wouldn't be like this, where the skin looks like it's been roughly torn apart.

Unfortunately, the wound had already begun to scab over, unlike a fresh wound.

"How did you get hurt?"

"Can't you see it?" Su Ninglong asked impatiently.

Yuan Dusen hesitated. He and his assistant Sun were not doctors, but they could still distinguish between physical damage and "magical damage".

"Such a serious wound, and you only did basic treatment without stitches? If it gets infected, I'm afraid I'll have to have an amputation."

Su Ninglong politely declined the insincere concern, saying, "I was supposed to get stitches, but I had too many things to do, so I just let it heal on its own."

Su Ninglong took out a new bandage from her spatial ring and re-bandaged the area.

Her movements were quick and skillful, and she could control the force well with one hand. However, the wound was a disguise by Lena. First, she removed all the blisters, and then she simulated the claws of an animal to inflict secondary damage.

Lena only treated the surface of her skin, so it looks like it's scabbed over, but the inside is actually badly injured.

The bandage was stained with blood again. Su Ninglong turned her arm to cover the blood-stained side.

"You two should get out of here if you have nothing else to do. Remember my requirements: if you don't finish within the time limit, I'll go to the Star Alliance and demolish one of your buildings a day." Qi Shen's silver hair wasn't tied up, but he had braided it into a fishtail braid for easier movement.

A few stray hairs fell across his forehead, adding a touch of sinister cruelty to his handsome face.

Assistant Sun's heart pounded uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but feel wronged. She hadn't done the job, and the decision wasn't hers to make.

Why are you yelling at her?

"you…"

This person is good-looking, but has a terrible temper, unlike her husband, who, although plain-looking, has a refined and elegant demeanor... Thinking about it, Assistant Sun felt a little downcast, wondering when she could reconcile with her husband.

If Qi Shen knew that Assistant Sun was comparing him to her good-for-nothing husband, he would definitely be furious.

He was pure and innocent, and his bad temper was only because he saw people he disliked.

Qi Shen shifted the pressure from Assistant Sun to Yuan Dusen. Yuan Dusen, who was less able to handle the pressure than Assistant Sun, immediately stormed out of the door and ran away.

Su Ninglong's tense body relaxed; she had been in pain and numb from faking the wound.

But since it has scabbed over, it shouldn't have such a strong bloody smell.

Because I had to pretend, I was forced to get my period.

Even cultivators experience weakness and discomfort during their menstrual periods. Su Ninglong leaned back on the sofa and said, "Qi Jiaojiao, carry me to Lena's place to treat my wounds."

Qi Shen was dumbfounded. Who was Qi Jiaojiao talking about?

Since Su Ninglong looked rather pitiful due to her sickly appearance, Qi Shen had no choice but to act as a porter once again.

"You're not allowed to call me Qi Jiaojiao, not even behind my back."

"I never choose the wrong nickname."

Principal Yan watched silently, smiling, as he grabbed Ollie by the back of his neck to prevent him from getting between them.

Qi Shen is willful and has an unstable stance. If Su Ninglong can successfully "subdue" him, it can be said to be a meritorious deed.

Unlike Principal Yan, who watched with a smile, Yun Fei entered the principal's office from the outside and saw Qi Shen and Su Ninglong walking together. He immediately became interested. Hahaha, these two scoundrels have become friends. It wasn't for nothing that he dragged others to play matchmaker in the first place.

This will definitely infuriate the Star Alliance!

The wound was finally treated, and Su Ninglong lay down on the bed and fell asleep, sleeping for more than ten hours before waking up.

A light rain began to fall outside, mixed with snow, making pedestrians shiver with cold.

Su Ninglong didn't plan to stay in bed any longer. After getting dressed, she went to the Twin Towers and chatted with Aria for a long time.

He also helped Zou Shuyi mix dozens of drinks and processed the intelligence information given to him by the guests.

Zou Shuyi's workload wasn't large, but it was tedious.

However, in the Gemini missions, only contaminated areas with three stars or higher are left for the hunters.

Therefore, there were far fewer White Hunters in the bar.

Xingyuan saw Su Ninglong wiping her wine glass in a daze and asked, "You have several businesses and shares that you want to sell recently. Which ones do you think you should sell first?"

"Why sell?"

"You should have noticed something amiss with the Star Alliance. One downside to merging with them is that they can't have too many profit-making activities under their name. Hunters are all busy making money, so who's going to deal with the contaminated areas?"

Xingyuan pointed to several industries and suggested that she remove those related to mineral resources first. "Because the hunter profession requires a mentor to accompany them in their growth, it's best to retain some businesses that are less likely to lead to resource plunder. Agriculture, light manufacturing, handicrafts, and rent collection can all become additional income for hunters."

There's definitely no chance of getting shares in the investment company.

Su Ninglong nodded, understanding. Just as sect elders could accept offerings and customized services but could not interfere in mortal commercial activities, they arrived at the same goal through different paths.

"Then let's sell them off little by little. My tea plantation has expanded again, and I can make money by selling tea. As for weapon crafting, the higher-ups will definitely approve that I can continue to operate it, and I can support myself."

Xingyuan chuckled: "How old are you? How much stuff can you buy?"

"If you calculate my expenses since I was a child, it would be more than enough to support several thousand people. And it will only cost more in the future." Not to mention that "Tai Xu" needs to advance, Ancestor Duobao can't just rely on one or two magic treasures to maintain his reputation. He can't be stingy when giving gifts to his descendants in the future.

Besides, she wants to build a large airship that can travel through space, and every single one of those things requires money.

Xingyuan knew exactly what Su Ninglong spent. She could spend more than an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime.

Being a money-lover, but not obsessed with it, is actually quite good.

It's a bit strange to just spend what you earn.

Every time Zou Shuyi heard this, she felt heartbroken, unable to understand how someone as frugal as herself could raise such a spendthrift child.

Xingyuan gently patted Su Ninglong's head, "Then you can do your best. You'll have to support your godmother and me in the future."

"Mmm." Su Ninglong rubbed her head against his palm like she did when she was little. "Daddy, are you finally going to marry Godmother?"

"I have this plan."

"You haven't even proposed yet, what good things are you thinking about?" Zou Shuyi walked silently beside Xingyuan.

Xingyuan turned around and gently hugged his girlfriend, asking, "My dear Miss Zou, does proposing guarantee a successful marriage proposal?"

Zou Shuyi leaned against him, looking up at Xingyuan's superior jawline, and touched his sexy Adam's apple with her fingertips.

My boyfriend is getting better and better at it, and as his girlfriend, I'm finding it a bit overwhelming.

Being too good-looking is a hassle; if he really proposes, she definitely won't want him to look disappointed.

The question then flared up, and he feigned indifference, saying, "That's your problem."

Su Ninglong rested her chin on her hand, admiring the sweet and affectionate interaction between the two of them, smiling like a little fox, and looking forward to the birth of her younger brother and sister.

Once the two had stopped talking and were enjoying the rare tranquility, Su Ninglong very unkindly told them about her experience during the Blood Sun.

Upon hearing that the repairman had died, Zou Shuyi was momentarily stunned, and sighed, "I noticed not long ago that he had some mental problems, and I should have advised him to stay away from that place."

“He can’t bear to leave. Whether it’s in terms of star coins or emotions, he can’t give up that place.” Xingyuan took her hand, gently stroked the back of her hand, and then intertwined their fingers.

Zou Shuyi understood Xingyuan's actions and was afraid of hurting her feelings.

She said, "I don't care about him, I just lament the fragility of life. I understand that it's hard to persuade extreme people unless they sacrifice their own happiness."

Zou Shuyi's refusal to work with the repairman says it all.

Sacrificing one's own happiness out of pity is the most foolish thing to do.

Xingyuan knew how cold his girlfriend was, but he also knew that she was kind; these two personalities did not conflict.

When it comes to relationships, hesitation will only lead to harm.

The repairman's relationship was destined to end badly, and Zou Shuyi certainly couldn't be a saint and help that person, otherwise what would she do?

His golden eyes were fixed intently on Zou Shuyi.

Zou Shuyi was used to Xingyuan's closeness, but she still felt a little shy and her heart fluttered when she was looked at by those affectionate eyes.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she pressed her face against his shoulder, listening to his magnetic voice say, "I believe you. If he can't get through this on his own, no one can save him."

It started again. Su Ninglong hugged herself, feeling as if a cold wind was blowing, and quickly left.

Before leaving, she boasted shamelessly, "When I come of age, I'll bring my young lover back, and we'll be all lovey-dovey in front of you two old married couples."

Zou Shuyi: "Little brat, what I call 'wherever my heart leads' is clearly a title for you."

However, Su Ninglong's reaction was really cute. Zou Shuyi cupped the little kid's face and said, "I don't want to see any pretty boys. You can bring some of your friends back, and I won't object."

Su Ninglong: "..." My godmother has such a good attitude, and she still has several.

"Wait, I'll bring it back in a couple of days."

Let's start by praising him. Anyway, this isn't the first time he's taken people from the group home. Su Ninglong is happy to find a few handsome laborers for the bar.

The idea of ​​finding free labor is no joke.

After Ge Wei cleared out the manor, Su Ninglong took Lei Qingya, Song Hu, and Shen Zhaoming to the manor, with a little tail surnamed Qi following behind them.

"Are you free lately?" Su Ninglong asked Qi Shen. He didn't know how he knew that Su Ninglong was going to make a big move again, so he shamelessly followed along.

He didn't answer Su Ninglong's question, turning his face away and leaving her with the back of his head.

The high ponytail, tied with a silver headband, swayed gently, with tiny glints of light dancing among the strands, as if to say, "This princess is unhappy, and you can't mess with me."

Su Ninglong tilted her head to look at him. Qi Shen leaned against her like a soft snake, resting his chin on her shoulder. "I've been bullied by someone. Go and bully them back for me."

Shen Zhaoming and Song Hu glared at Qi Shen, their fists hardening. This shameless old man actually took advantage of Su Ninglong.

Shen Zhaoming pulled Su Ninglong's arm, intending to distance himself from Qi Shen.

Qi Shen pressed his fingertips against Su Ninglong's shoulder, raising an eyebrow with a smile without saying a word. "Assistant Shen, Su Ninglong is already a mature adult. She knows what I'm doing."

He made a pointed remark, and Su Ninglong pursed her lips, guessing that Qi Jiaojiao probably knew part of the secrets of her soul.
