Chapter 12 What Cheats

Jiang Qiongxing instinctively clenched the storage ring on his finger: "What?"

"I don't know about that." Shi Yueren shrugged.

Thinking of the tragic situation of her aunt's family, she shuddered: "Then let's get out of here quickly!"

"You think he came here in broad daylight today without any disguise. Do you really think we can't find out? Even if he looks down on you, he should have known that I, a cultivator, is still there." Shi Yue said humanely.

"You mean, maybe he just wanted us to discover his existence?" Jiang Qiongxing's spine shivered.

"Yes."

Why is this again?
Jiang Qiongxing sighed heavily, feeling that after a series of questioning, the questions did not decrease but increased.

Shi Yue was amused: "Haven't you ever hunted rabbits in the mountains? You have to scare the rabbits so that they don't know where to go, so you can catch them easily—look, now that you know about it, don't you just want to run away?"

"I, I was going to leave," Jiang Qiongxing said with low confidence, "What's more, I don't know what they want, so what's the use of scaring me?"

What a shame, I thought I could completely get rid of the disputes in the world of cultivating immortals from now on, and live my little life with peace of mind, but I didn't expect it to be over.

Jiang Qiongxing curled her lips, and turned her head to look at the courtyard wall not far away.

The neighborhood is quiet, and it seems that there is no crisis happening.

After a moment of silence, she spread out on the chair: "Forget it, the big deal is, when they come to the door, just give them whatever they want. No matter how precious something is, it doesn't matter as much as life."

"You are open-minded."

"The main reason is that my father didn't tell me that there was anything in the house that he had to keep, and he probably didn't count on me, so why should I be nervous." Once he thought about it, it seemed that all his worries disappeared, Jiang Qiongxing stretched his waist, "Those people also, just come to the door early and tell me directly. If they insist on making these twists and turns, it will scare me to death."

After she finished speaking, she got up and swayed towards the backyard.

hungry.

Shi Yueren watched her leave in a little astonishment, then suddenly laughed and shook his head: "I underestimated this child."

The world of cultivating immortals is bloody and bloody day by day. For a little resource, they always fight to the death, and for a little hatred, they want to destroy people... Now it seems that it is not as easy as a ten-year-old child can think about.

……

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Jiang Qiongxing was cleaning the yard.

Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

The hand holding the broom tightened subconsciously. Instead of going to open the door immediately as before, she raised her voice and asked, "Who?"

"Sister, my grandma made dumplings, let me bring you a bowl." A childish voice came from outside the door.

It turned out to be the little girl from the neighbor's house next door.

She felt relieved and replied, "Come here."

Opening the door, there was a little girl who was half a head shorter than her standing outside the door, her cheeks were round when she smiled, her eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she raised the basket in her hand to the tip of Jiang Qiongxing's nose: "Miss, here it is."

"Thank you, Xiaoling, would you like to come in and play for a while?" Jiang Qiongxing took the basket and pinched the kid's cheeks which felt good in his hands.

so soft.

Xiao Ling's face showed obvious heartbeat, but she remembered something, and shook her head regretfully: "No, no, grandma is still waiting for me to eat, I have to go back."

"Okay, remember to come and play when you have time." Jiang Qiongxing waved his hand, watching the children leave with a bouncing bounce.

Just as she was about to close the door, her gaze inadvertently turned to another direction, and she froze suddenly.

When the door was opened, it was still empty there, but a person appeared at some point, staring at her, and even smiled when he met her gaze.

It was the man she saw in the apparition yesterday.

I don't know if this person chose this time on purpose, but it happened when Shi Yueren didn't know where to go.

Xiaoling's figure disappeared, and he walked forward to meet Jiang Qiongxing's sight without avoiding it: "You are Jiang Hu's daughter? It seems that you should have seen me."

After a brief shock, Jiang Qiongxing calmed down instead: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Refreshing." The short and thin man stood still a few meters away, "I know you are a mortal, and I don't intend to make things difficult for you, as long as you hand over your father's magic book to me, I'll leave, how about it?"

Sure enough, he came to ask for something!

This thought flashed through Jiang Qiongxing's mind, but...

"Spell secret book? What secret book?" She carefully recalled the contents of the storage ring, and made sure that there was nothing in it that could be called a secret book.

The man sneered: "I knew you wouldn't take it out easily, it seems like you're going to be tough."

"Wait!" Jiang Qiongxing dodged and hid behind the door panel, and said anxiously, "I really don't know what the secret book is, are you sure you're right? Or is this secret book not the same as I thought it was, and it's not in the shape of a book?"

The short man narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"

"I'm trying to figure out what you want, big brother. Is there no more cooperative victim than me? As long as you don't hurt me, you can ask for anything..." When she said this, she thought of something, and added, "As long as I have it."

The other party stared at her uncertainly for a while, as if trying to determine whether what she said was true or false, before saying, "I'm sorry you don't dare to use any tricks."

Jiang Qiongxing smiled apologetically: "Then why don't you come in with me first? I'm a mortal and a child, I really don't know which one you want, can I show you one by one?"

The man moved his wrist threateningly, and let out a "huh".

Jiang Qiongxing opened the door, welcomed him in, and closed the door again.

The short man entered the main hall familiarly, and sat down at the head: "What are your father's belongings, show me."

"Hey," Jiang Qiongxing put a basket of dumplings aside, pointed to the next room and said, "My father's belongings are all over there, I'll go get them for you."

It is impossible for her to deal with this cultivator alone, so she can only try to delay the time and pray that Shi Yueren will come back soon.

The short man narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't play tricks, I've searched through all the rooms in your house, and there's nothing I want, so the secret book must be with you."

Jiang Qiongxing, who was about to leave, froze.

Well, the storage ring is not a rare thing, and it is not surprising that it is guessed.

She laughed dryly: "Aren't I... afraid of missing something, since you are sure that there are no other places, then I don't have to make this extra trip."

Tsk, what a joke, the robber ransacked your house and you still have to ask him what he wants with a smile on his face.

The robber even knocked on the table impatiently: "Hurry up."

 Seeing that my birthday is not only not interrupted but also updated, here are a few recommended tickets! (clasping fists) Another year older, sigh.
