“That’s impossible. All the valuable items in the auction house are placed here.” The Chief Steward said, wiping cold sweat off his forehead as he looked around anxiously, but he was unable to find it.
“Then maybe someone sneaked in?” The old man said, his eyes instantly sharpening.
“That’s even more impossible. In addition to the guards outside, the warehouse is full of traps. It would be impossible for anyone to open the mechanism and come in.” The Chief Steward said, his face getting paler as he spoke.
If this item wasn’t lost or stolen, then it would be regarded as him having lost it. If it was in normal times, it wouldn’t have mattered so much. However, they needed the tiger bone tendon to treat the elder and the main ingredient in the medicinal pill was missing. When the time came to lay blame from above, this was a crime he was unable to bear.
Looking at the warehouse, the old man frowned slightly and said: “Look for it quickly! If you can’t find it, find out if the other branches have it and get them to send it over as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment!”
“Yes!” The Chief Steward responded quickly and watched the two of them walk out, then after turning back to take one last look, he left with them. After they left, Feng Jiu came out of space. When she pondered over their conversation, her eyes flashed slightly.
She hadn’t expected the people in this continent to know about them and had planned to attack her. Were they intending to obtain the Ancient Golden Lotus? Or were they trying to use her to gain a foothold in society.
A sharp decline in strength? Ah!
Would she be stomped all over just because her strength had plummeted? If there were really such ignorant people, she didn’t mind taking matters into her own hands to show them her methods!
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, she hadn’t had any intention of taking any treasure away in this warehouse, but now…
The corners of her lips raised slightly and revealed a sinister smile. Since they were already targeting her, then she might as well take it. First, she would take all the treasures in the warehouse.
With a thought and a flick of her sleeve, all the treasures were kept into space by her.
She left the warehouse quietly but she didn’t leave the auction house immediately. Instead, she gathered her breath and walked around in the night. When she came to a dark place, she watched as the two old men from earlier as they sat in the front hall chatting. Not far away, a maid carrying tea on a tray was coming their way. The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she walked forward quickly. When no one was paying attention, she took the tray of tea from the maid’s hand, then she covered her mouth at the same time and dragged her into the shadows.
Not long after, Feng Jiu, who had changed into the maid’s clothes, walked out with the tray of tea.
She tied up her hair with one hand then touched her face and the corners of her mouth raised up as she walked forwards with small steps.
In the hall, one of the old men said: “I have just received news that the Lord will be arriving in the middle of the night. Let’s prepare so that we can attack as soon as he arrives so they won’t have a chance to escape from the city.” Feng Jiu, who was wearing the clothes of the maid, lowered her head and served tea to one of them. Then, she picked up the tray and went to the other person’s side and placed the cup of tea on the table.
When she was about to leave with the tray, the old man who took his cup of tea and had a sip first looked at the maid: “Did you make this tea?”
“Yes.” Feng Jiu didn’t raise her head but bent her knees slightly in response.
“What’s wrong?” The other old man asked as he held the cup of tea and looked at the old man: “Is this tea not drinkable?” As soon as he had spoken, his sharp eyes fell onto the main in the front hall..
