The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The head of the Wei family carefully examined the bandit.

I seem to remember it.

I've heard about it in the news.

One of the gang members always liked to dress up as Batman and appear at night to punish criminals in the city.

His method of punishment was to lower a person's social status.

I don't know what kind of profession it is, but the talent is so unreasonable.

Some suspect it is the sequence of sages.

"I think I know you; you can lower other people's ranks."

"Exactly."

The head of the Wei family took a few steps back, somewhat wary.

"Don't worry, I'm here to exchange something with you using Ji Chou."

"What do you want? Money?"

"How vulgar! I'm a hero! I want the secret behind the Wei Family Jade."

The head of the Wei family was nervous.

There is a secret behind the Wei family jade disc, a secret known only to the head of the Wei family in each generation. How did the bandits find out?

"The secret of the Wei family jade? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"As expected of the head of the family, your calm and collected demeanor is quite impressive. But I think you'd better not waste your time with me, or I'll take your family heirloom... *click*!"

Blood Brother opened his palm, then quickly clenched it again.

The head of the Wei family vaguely saw a piece of white jade, the shape and size of which were exactly the same as the Wei Family Jade.

"Don't!"

With such a quick glance, even the head of the Wei family wasn't sure if it was his family heirloom.

He then looked at the woman lying on the ground.

"Is she really ugly?"

Xuezi took out the insole from Ji Chou's mouth.

"You bastard bandits!! I'll never let you get away with this, even if it kills me!! Waaaaaah!!"

Blood Brother stuffed the insole back in.

Upon hearing this voice, the Wei family head was certain.

Since Ji Chou is here, then what we just saw must be our own Wei Shi Bi jade.

"Bandit, I really don't know what secrets lie behind the Wei family's jade disc."

"Patriarch Wei, this is no fun."

"However, I can tell you that the reason why our Wei family exists and why we have the resources and foundation to stand firm in Xichuan City is because our ancestors left us some original capital and also left us an ancestral precept, which is to protect this Wei family jade."

"That's all?"

"Even the Wei family members themselves don't know these things. They only inform each other when the head of the Wei family passes on the position of family head each time."

Song Gua is listening at this moment as well.

He analyzed that if the head of the Wei family was not lying.

That means there is indeed a secret behind the Wei Family Jade Disc, but the family that guards it doesn't know it themselves, they only know that they must pass it down.

Blood Brother pressed further, "Is there absolutely nothing secret about your family left?"

The head of the Wei family shook his head, but then suddenly thought of something.

"Actually, along with the Wei family jade disc, a restoration manuscript was also passed down."

"Repairing the manuscript?"

"As you can see, this is just a fragment. Our ancestors said that if other fragments appear one day, we can use the methods recorded in the manuscript to repair the fragments and make them into a complete thing."

As he spoke, the head of the Wei family took out a stack of A4 papers.

Blood Brother was embarrassed.

"You..."

"I'm not lying to you. The original manuscript is very old and would break if touched. This is a copy we made and printed. You can't see anything on it; it's just ordinary jade restoration technology."

Perhaps the Wei family head genuinely felt that these manuscripts passed down from their ancestors were of little value, and casually handed them to Brother Xuezi.

Blood Brother glanced at it quickly after receiving it.

Indeed, this only describes how to repair jade artifacts, what materials to use, and what methods and techniques to employ; nothing else is revealed.

"Perhaps the secret lies hidden in these words."

The head of the Wei family smiled.

"Impossible. It's been a thousand years. Our ancestors have consulted countless experts in philology and deciphering, and even some professionals in related fields, but none of them have discovered any secrets."

"Give me one?"

"Fine, hand over Ji Chou to me, and give me back our family heirloom."

"no problem."

Why are the bandits so easy to talk to?

It seems they aren't as unreasonable or a bunch of lunatics as some families claim.

It was indeed a fabrication and slander.

Blood Brother leaped down, and a swarm of blood-red bats flew over, lifted him up, and flew away quickly—he could fly much better now than when he first turned around.

The Wei family jade slipped from his hand and flew towards the hotel balcony behind him.

The head of the Wei family leaped up and carefully caught it.

As soon as he got his hands on it, he sensed something was wrong.

One gentle touch and you know it's fake!

He had worn the genuine articles so much that they developed a patina from handling them, so he could naturally distinguish them as soon as he picked them up.

Looking at Brother Xuezi again, he had already flown away to who knows where.

The head of the Wei family stepped on Ji Chou's face, knocking the insole out of her mouth.

"Zhao Yihong! Where is the Wei Shi Bi?"

Ji Chou scoffed.

"Fool, it's with the bandits, of course! You actually expect them to return it to you?"

"ah!!!"

Another one has crashed.

Even after the collapse, the head of the Wei family still had a glimmer of hope.

The bandits weren't exactly a full-fledged criminal organization.

They still have someone in charge externally, and they still have opportunities.

On the contrary, it is this Ji Chou.

If she hadn't stolen the Wei Family Jade, it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of bandits.

"Men, throw her into Mine Pit No. 99 and make her mine for twenty hours every day!"

……

At the bandit headquarters, Song Gua played with the Wei Family Jade Disc and then looked at the restoration manuscript that Xue Zi Ge had brought.

"This is truly a huge mystery. Even if you had a thousand more clones, you probably still wouldn't be able to figure it out. What secrets lie behind this thing?"

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

However, Song Gua thought that he could catch more people who encountered Night Owl in the future.

Aren't they collecting this stuff?

They might know more about the secrets behind these fragments than the people who possess them.

Nishikawa the Madman has once again gone missing.

Monkey King led the team to continue their search in Xichuan City.

From the conversation between Qin Zheng and Squad Leader Wang that night, it's not hard to tell that Qin Zheng will still be active in Xichuan City for the time being, searching for the enemy who killed his wife and daughter.

Edison Chen continued his undercover work, striving to prove himself and earn a chance to be promoted from a temporary to a permanent position.

The adventure team in the Soul Cultivation Illusion continues their exploration.

After being swallowed by the giant whale, Huozi and Nanfeng went all out, using their combined skills to create fire and ice inside the whale's belly.

The uneven temperature caused the whale to have an upset stomach, resulting in diarrhea...

Anyway, they came out.

After that, the two became very familiar with the route and went in and out repeatedly.

The whale was in excruciating pain, but they eventually subdued it and turned it into the bandits' "big ship," carrying them to their destination.

Their adventure is finally about to bear fruit.

On the vast ocean, a giant whale, over 500 meters long, is riding the waves.

A dozen or so bandits stood on the smooth head of the whale that broke the surface of the water.

"Pikachu! Charge!"

"It's a giant whale, not Pikachu!"

"I don't like Digimon, I like Pokémon!"

"Pokémon is such a childish thing, what's so interesting about it? Digimon is so much more exciting!"

"You lazy bum, say 'childish' again?"

"Nine pieces of trash, do you even have any aesthetic sense?"

"Keep swearing!"

"So what if I scold you! So cute!"

"Ugh!! I'm going to throw you down there to feed the fish today!"

And so, in an atmosphere of unwavering unity, the bandits reached the island where the Soul Refining Water was produced.

We're just one final step away from being able to use the Dark Artifacts at will!
