I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Weren't you interning at the Donghai Linlang Pavilion? What are you doing here?"

The woman in front of Qin Ge was beautiful, and her uniform was stretched high, revealing her impressive figure.

"There's an auction coming up in Jiangcheng soon, organized by Gu Yuexuan. Linlang Pavilion sent over a few pieces of their collection, so I came along to broaden my horizons."

"Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to help serve the guests."

The woman is Tang Yirou, an alumna of Qin Ge's Donghai University.

Qin Ge once saved her in the Donghai University dormitory. They later met by chance at Linlang Pavilion in Donghai Antique Street and were connected again because of Xuan Yuan Moyu.

"I see. You really are hardworking. You're not resting when you're free, and you're even helping others with their affairs."

Qin Ge found it strange. Wasn't Gu Yue Xuan the contact point for Mo Yi Tang? Why was it organizing an auction?

That's really not doing their job properly!

Are you busy right now? Is it a convenient time for us to chat?

Since we've run into an acquaintance, it's a good opportunity to learn about Gu Yuexuan from her, which will save us a lot of trouble.

"It's convenient, I'm not actually at work anyway."

As Qin Ge said, Tang Yirou is really hardworking. In this industry, you have to observe and practice a lot. Which of those masters didn't accumulate experience over time? There are no shortcuts!

Tang Yirou then led Qin Ge to a lounge. "Do you want to know about the Xuan Yuan Black Jade?"

"I've been keeping an eye on it for a while, but I haven't found anything yet."

"You still remember this?" Qin Ge had only casually asked Tang Yirou for a favor, without having high hopes, but she didn't expect her to actually take it seriously.

"Didn't Master Gu say that even he had never seen the actual object, which means that thing is indeed rare?"

"It's normal that nothing was found; I'm already very grateful for your thoughtfulness."

Tang Yirou handed Qin Ge a glass of water. "You are a very capable person. I think your search for Xuan Yuan Mo Yu might be of great use."

"Besides, you saved my life, so I want to do my best to help you."

She had witnessed Qin Ge's attack at Tianxiang Tower, and the bloody scene was truly shocking; even now, the thought of it still makes her stomach churn uncontrollably.

"How long have you been at Guyuexuan? Do you know this place well?" Qin Ge changed the subject.

"This is the third day." Tang Yirou's eyes held a hint of doubt. "Did you come to Guyue Pavilion for the Xuan Yuan Ink Jade?"

"But I didn't find any Xuan Yuan Black Jade here!"

On her first day at Guyuexuan, she inquired about it and found that no one in the entire Guyuexuan knew what Xuanyuan Moyu was.

"Only three days?" Qin Ge said with a hint of regret, as it was unlikely that Tang Yirou would have made any discoveries in such a short time.

Han Xiuyun couldn't possibly send people to Guyuexuan twice in just three days, and it just so happens that the same person was sent, and Tang Yirou happened to recognize him.

"What? Only three days?"

"The auction is tomorrow, isn't it a bit much that we're coming three days early...?"

Tang Yirou stopped mid-sentence and quickly turned to look towards the door.

A commotion came from outside the door, and there seemed to be the sound of something breaking. It was quite a commotion.

"Strange, what happened?"

Tang Yirou gave Qin Ge an apologetic smile, then quickly got up, opened the door, and froze.

The entire first floor of Guyuexuan was in chaos, with three masked men wielding watermelon knives menacingly berating the people inside.

One of the men held a knife to the neck of a young woman in a white dress, yelling, "You all better get down, or I'm going to start killing people!"

"No, don't kill me, I'll give you any amount of money..." The woman in white's voice trembled, her face deathly pale.

Another masked man pointed a knife at a shop assistant and threw him a backpack, saying, "You, pack these things up!"

"You fucking picked the small ones to pack. How many can fit in such a big one? Do you think I can carry it?"

"Robbery?!" Qin Ge was stunned. What era did these guys come from?

These days, if someone dares to rob an antique shop, especially in a busy downtown area, do they think they can escape?

They do know to pick the smaller items, so they have some brains, but not many.

They even robbed Moyitang's store; their courage is truly admirable!

Bandits robbing a killer, that's interesting.

Qin Ge watched quietly, carefully observing everyone in the store.

Apart from the robbers, everyone's face showed the fear and panic that a normal person would have.

Qin Ge felt something was off; it was too normal!

This would be understandable in an ordinary antique shop, but Qin Ge knew that there were people from the Moyi Hall here. Would an assassin be afraid of just three robbers?

"Don't hurt anyone!"

Tang Yirou was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but when she saw the blood flowing from the neck of the woman in white, she still mustered up her courage and rushed over.

Qin Ge: "..."

She really knows how to show off; is she offering herself up to the robbers as a snack?

"court death!"

"ah--!"

One of the robbers swung a watermelon knife directly at Tang Yirou's face, and both Tang Yirou and the woman in white screamed at the same time.

Many people in the store closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the bloody scene.

"boom--"

The expected scene of blood splattering did not occur. Instead, the robber who had slashed at Tang Yirou with a knife was sent flying backward, knife and all.

Qin Ge appeared beside Tang Yirou. "I'm really impressed with you. Did you think you could scare them to death by running over and screaming?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I'm scared..." Tang Yirou blushed, her breasts heaving violently.

She was only thinking about saving people, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she rushed forward without even considering whether she had the ability to save them.

When she saw the robber's knife coming at her, her mind went blank. She didn't even think about dodging; all she could do was scream instinctively.

"Big brother!!"

The other two bandits were terrified. One of them quickly stepped forward to help the fallen bandit up.

"Dead?!"

The bandit shuddered and quickly straightened up, gripping the watermelon knife tightly in his hand.

"Did you kill my older brother?"

Qin Ge was too fast; no one could even see how he made his move.

"Are you guys out of your minds? Who taught you to rob people like this?"

"Have you considered how you'll escape unscathed even if you successfully steal those valuable antiques?"

"We have a car!" the thug who had taken the woman in white hostage blurted out, "and hostages!"

Qin Ge couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Damn it, can't you stop making me laugh in such a serious situation?"

"You have cars, but don't the police officers?"

"You have knives, but they have guns!"

"Besides, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now, where can you run to?"

"You watch too much TV, huh? You think you can get away with just putting a torn stocking over your head?"

After his scathing remarks, a smile appeared on his face. "Let's talk something useful. Did someone send you to rob us?"

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that you've been fooled!"

"Tell me who instructed you. Try to earn merit and receive lenient treatment!"
