Chapter 1270: Liu Xuanxin’s Discovery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before their plans could be carried out, Chen Xiaobei knocked Yin Shaohua unconscious and then mended his wounds to prevent the stench of blood from giving their game away. After that, he fed Yin Shaohua a spoonful of Mengpo soup, so that even if their plan failed, Yin Shaohua would not remember what had happened between him and Chen Xiaobei.

Qi Changshen gave Yin Shaohua a change of clothes, and Xiao Hanjiang summoned an evil spirit to possess Yin Shaohua’s body, and turned him into their human puppet using a forbidden skill called Evil Spirit Possession.

Liu Xuanxin watched quietly by the side, feeling that the plan Chen Xiaobei came up with was totally unpredictable and filled with surprise.

Thankfully, Chen Xiaobei only used that on his enemies. Towards his friends and family, Chen Xiaobei only had kindness and sincerity beaming from his heart!

“Bro Bei! It’s done! We can leave any time!”

Xia Hanjiang who was kneeling on the floor said, “Alright! It’s up to the both you now!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded.

This was a rare occasion, to have his allies to win without putting up much of a fight.

“Rise!” Xia Hanjiang ordered. A dazed Yin Shaohua got up, and opened his eyes.

There was blue Yin Qi surrounding him.

“Abacadabra! Walk!” Xia Hanjiang shouted.

The Yin Qi that was shrouding Yin Shaohua’s eyes dissipated, and he began to walk normally.

“Brother Qi! My forbidden skill will only last for one hour. We’ll have to hurry!” Xia Hanjiang said.

“Alright! First, go to Crimson Ray Pavilion. That’s where Yin Wuqiu’s bedroom is at. This is how you get there…” Qi Changshen directed.

Although this was their first time working together, they established a rythm and very quickly began to click with each other.

“Lucky Goddess, since there’s nothing for us to do, won’t it be nice if we go up to the deck to gaze at the stars?”

Chen Xiaobei smiled.

“I’m not going!”

“Why do have this feeling that you’re trying to avoid me? I am quite an attractive young man, if I must say so myself. Why the aversion towards me then?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Are you also that brazen when you pick up other chicks?” Liu Xuanxin retorted.

“I…” Chen Xiaobei said sheepishly, “I’m not hitting on you. Forget it, forget about watching the stars. Let’s just sit here and wait then!”

“Humph! Do you think you can deceive me, you little trickster?” Liu Xuanxin raised her chin, looking pleased at herself.

Crimson Ray Pavilion!

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Yin Shaohua knocked on the wooden door and said, “Father! Are you asleep?”

“No, come in!” A deep, gusty voice came from inside the room.

He was obviously Yin Shaohua’s old man, the Faction Leader of Penglai Faction, Yin Wuqiu.

Yin Shaohua opened the door with a push, and saw his white-haired, middle-aged father still in his chang pao.

“Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be with your new fling?” Yin Wuqiu asked.

“Father, you know me the best!” replied Yin Shaohua. “I was with her and was about to get intimate when she said that she wanted to be paid in Spiritual Stones.”

“Another materialistic woman! How much this time?”

“300.”

“What?! That cheap woman is asking for that much?!” Yin Wuqiu barked.

Spiritual Stones were rare on earth. It would have taken many many years to get 300 Spiritual Stones!

“Father, don’t get all worked up!” Yin Shaohua smiled. “That woman won’t be able to use up all 300 Spiritual Stones! When I’m done with her, I will take them back! We would only lose one or two stones!”

“Huh? You really sly!” Yin Wuqiu laughed. “Now that’s more like my son! Let other people take the losses while we only reap the benefits! Hahaha!”

A look flashed in Yin Shaohua’s eyes, as he laughed along, “Since father has no objection, can I have the key to the treasury? I’ll return it right after I’ve taken the Spiritual Stones!”

“Key?”

Yin Wuqiu’s brows furrowed. There was a look of suspicion on his face.

“What’s that about… is there anything else I should know, father?” Yin Shaohua asked.

After a few minutes of silence, Yin Wuqiu shook his head. “No! Wait here, I’ll go get the key for you.”

***

At Star Picking Corner.

Xia Hanjiang frowned, “Something’s not right.”

“Why? He didn’t get the key?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“No, we got it. But I just have a feeling that something’s off!” Xia Hanjiang said. “Yin Wuqiu looked a little hesitant. I don’t know if he noticed anything.”

“He shouldn’t have. Our plan is flawless! There’s no way he would find out the truth!”

Qi Changshen was very confident with his own masterplan.

“Alright! It doesn’t matter. As long as we get the key, it doesn’t matter whether we raised suspicion or not. We’ll clear out his treasury!” Chen Xiaobei grinned.

“We’ve got the key! I’m bringing Yin Shaohua back!” Xia Hanjiang said.

“Alright! Let’s put everything away. I’ll bring everyone to the treasury!” Qi Changshen said excitedly.

“Wait a minute!” blurted Liu Xuanxin. “Don’t bring Yin Shaohua here yet! I really feel that something’s wrong!”

“There won’t be any problem! Trust me! My plan is foolproof!” Qi Changshen said.

“Mr. Qi, there’s no need to rush. Let’s listen to what she has to say first. She’s my Lucky Goddess after all!” Chen Xiaobei stepped in.

Liu Xuanxin blushed behind her scarf.

“…”

Qi Changshen frowned. He did think that a person as imposing as Chen Xiaobei would be so superstitious when it came to luck! It really was a quite a farce! But out of respect for Chen Xiaobei, he simply nodded.

“Ms. Liu, please show us the way!”

Liu Xuanxin nodded. “It’s undeniable that Mr. Qi’s plan is flawless!”

Qi Changshen smiled delightedly.

Liu Xuanxin continued, “But! I noticed some unpredictable factors here! Mr. Qi has been locked up for three years! In that time, anything could have happened. What if the treasury or its circumstances had changed in some way while he was gone? Then, the plan you came up with will be useless!”

“That…”

Qi Changshen’s smile fell.

Three years was not a long time, but it wasn’t short either. There was no way Qi Changshen could guarantee that there were no changes in the Penglai Faction!

“Mr. Xia! You said that Yin Wuqiu had a moment of doubt. When was that?” Liu Xuanxin asked.

“When I asked him for the keys to the treasury!” Xia Hanjiang replied.

“No!” Chen Xiaobei and Liu Xuanxin said at the same time, as if their minds were one.

“Send Yin Shaohua somewhere else immediately! We must not bring him here!”
