I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

With the help of his "money ability", Xie Zhiqiu successfully sneaked into the city lord's courtyard.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

"Xie Qiu, the city lord's yard is now in your charge. You must clean it up..."

Xie Zhiqiu listened to the assigned monk's words and was very obedient.

Even responded flatteringly, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Xie Zhiqiu was still a little confused, wondering how he could get in so easily. Aren’t these people afraid that he might be a spy stealing things?

After working in Jing Kun's yard for a few days, Xie Zhiqiu finally realized that whenever Jing Kun was not around, the cleaning of his yard was outsourced.

And Jingkun wouldn’t put important things here?

This is just a place for Jingkun to rest.

"How could the city lord put something important in the backyard? It's ridiculous."

The monk who came over to check laughed.

This Xie Qiu must be a young lady from some family. She spent so many spirit stones lavishly in order to get close to the city lord.

How is that possible? There are so many of these every year, just to satisfy their fantasies.

It’s really great that you can even collect money.

Business was especially good during the years when the city lord was in seclusion.

In recent years, the city lord has been here all year round, so they have few opportunities to slack off.

Xie Zhiqiu nodded, not quite understanding.

If she had not seen this courtyard appear so many times in Jingkun's revolving lantern, he would have been deceived.

It is normal for people who practice Taoism not to rest.

After working for half a month, Xie Zhiqiu finally waited for someone to be on duty.

After making sure that there was no one around, Xie Zhiqiu directly released the little rabbit and asked it to help him find the secret passage.

Soon, Xie Zhiqiu found the location of the secret passage.

"Master, please move this table away." Little Bunny sent a message to Xie Zhiqiu.

Xie Zhiqiu couldn't, and understood, but when she moved the table away, four buttons appeared underneath.

The button for the secret passage was actually under the leg of Jingkun's desk.

It’s a wooden table weighing thousands of kilograms.

Such a simple and unpretentious way of hiding made Xie Zhiqiu's eyes go dark.

It is indeed not something that ordinary people can discover.

After all, moving a table weighing thousands of pounds is no joke.

Inject spiritual power and press four buttons at the same time.

With a click, the floor that was originally tightly closed opened.

Jing Kun, who had just come out of the secret realm, was shocked. Someone actually broke into his dark room.

This was simply unforgivable. He rushed back to Hibi Castle like a madman.

Xie Zhiqiu looked at the dark corridor, unable to see anything clearly, so he lit a fire in his palm and lighted the candlestick.

Even with the candlestick, Xie Zhiqiu still couldn't see clearly below, and he felt a little annoyed.

He fired a burst of fire into the corridor.

With a "swish", the lights came on brightly.

Xie Zhiqiu now discovered that the downward corridor was full of candlesticks.

Now that everything has been ignited by her, the steps going down are bottomless.

Xie Zhiqiu didn't think too much and ran down.

No one knows when someone will come. In fact, Xie Zhiqiu is not afraid of someone coming, but if the real person comes, that would be bad.

Fortunately, the only way to get to the end of the road is to reach an underground dark room.

The first thing you see is a familiar portrait.

"F*ck, are you hanging it here to offer sacrifice?" Xie Zhiqiu complained subconsciously.

I took a step forward and found that this was a new portrait that had been hung up not long ago.

There were some words on it, and Xie Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh, "The city lord is also not mainstream."

Xie Zhiqiu rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the dark room, but he didn't find the remaining scrolls. Instead, he found a large number of portraits of the Grand Elders.

However, these portraits have suffered varying degrees of damage.

Each one of them has missing arms and legs, and various injuries. What kind of hobby does Jing Kun have?

Xie Zhiqiu was puzzled and said to himself, "Since you hate me so much, why don't you seek revenge from the Supreme Elder?"

"Find a ghost, can he beat him?"

"Yes, I just can't beat him. Otherwise, why would I create a portrait to vent my anger?"

Xie Zhiqiu felt a little worried as he looked at the dark room where he had turned it into a mess and had no place to stay.

"Where is it hidden?"

She even searched the bed, and found only portraits everywhere.

Suddenly, Xie Zhiqiu noticed that there seemed to be a small piece of paper at the foot of the bed.

She walked over and turned the entire bed over.

There was indeed a piece of paper under the man's feet. Xie Zhiqiu picked it up and took a look.

Isn’t this the cultivation method that I wrote for Jingkun?

"It's such a waste of resources. They trampled on the fruits of my labor like this."

Xie Zhiqiu suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued to flip through the pages. On the yellowed paper, there were different handwritings and different contents.

Looking at the above content, Xie Zhiqiu felt somewhat familiar. Wasn't this some of the moments when she was practicing the Five Elements Spirit Adjustment Technique?

I couldn't help but practice according to this content.

Xie Zhiqiu quickly completed a small cycle and said with emotion: "I can really take the initiative to practice."

Then her mission in this trip to Xizhou can be basically considered completed.

But she had to leave quickly, because who knew when Jing Kun would come back. If she was caught, she would probably be dead soon.

In order to delay time, Xie Zhiqiu did not take the original.

He just took out the photographic stone, took a picture of the papers, kept a copy, and rolled it up into a book when he had time.

After restoring the dark room to its original state, Xie Zhiqiu turned and left.

He also sent messages to Chaoyun and Chaomu, preparing to leave Hibi Castle.

The two were a little surprised to receive the text message from Xie Zhiqiu, but they still told the steward that they had to leave Ribi City urgently.

Although Manager Wang was reluctant to let them go, he knew that if the two really wanted to leave, he would not be able to stop them.

They only have an employment relationship with Qianjin Pavilion, and they have Special Envoy Xie backing them up.

No matter how unwilling I am, I have no choice but to let him go.

That night, Xie Zhiqiu took the two of them and left Ribi City.

Take a flying boat and fly directly to Zhongzhou.

The night Xie Zhiqiu left, Jingkun rushed back to Hibi Castle.

Go back to the yard and enter the dark room as soon as possible.

Jing Kun breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that the portrait hanging on the wall was not damaged at all.

And there is no problem with the parchment scroll attached to the portrait.

After checking again, he found that the darkroom was exactly the same as when he left.

The portraits were not lost, and the fragments were not missing.

He saw that his bed had moved a little and was moved away, but the things inside were not lost.

Who on earth broke in and didn’t take anything away?

Jing Kun summoned all the people who had entered his yard in the past month and prepared to interrogate them one by one.

But before he could interrogate him, someone came out and said that one person was missing.

"Xie Qiu." Jing Kun read the name and sneered.

As expected, this Xie Qiu is Xie Zhiqiu.

If he hadn't known in the Qingyan Secret Realm that Zhao Qiu was Xie Zhiqiu, he might not have been able to make the connection.

Jing Kun killed all the people in the yard and set up a formation in his yard so that no one except himself could enter.

In the past, he thought that if he didn't value this place, no one would target it.

But I didn’t expect that Xie Zhiqiu was quite powerful.

I have been in seclusion for too long and have not paid attention to the things below, so these people have forgotten who I am.

This is how the Xia family managed the City Lord’s Mansion. They immediately called Qin Jin over and asked him to reorganize the City Lord’s Mansion.

Let his personal guards thoroughly investigate the background of Xie Zhiqiu in Zhongzhou.
