Could it be that he knew her? Did he know her real name? One had to know that Xiaoke's name had never been made public in the thieves' sect- she'd always used the flying sparrow hero- so how did he know her name?
She'd felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at him- was he a friend she knew in real life?
But did he really call her Xiaoke? Xiaoke wasn't too sure- could it have been a hallucination when she was so shy? But the male thief didn't call her that? Xiaoke didn't know what was going on …
"What are you doing? You're walking all over the place, are you pretending to be a crab? " Lingshan was already pissed off, and seeing Xiaoke walking all over the place, she got even angrier. "Walk two steps faster, or the man's going to come back to save you!"
"Oh, oh …" Xiaoke looked at Lingshan, feeling wronged. It's your man who's acting like a pervert, alright? Why was she blaming her now? Naturally, Xiaoke assumed that Lingshan was pissed off because she and Lin Yi were in a relationship, and being seen by the female thief was pissed off.
But, one had to admit that Xiaoke's guess was pretty reliable.
"She was almost killed, she's still in shock. Carry her if you think she's slow!" Lin Yi frowned as he turned back to look at Lingshan.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it- he thought that Lingshan was pissed off because she was a female thief, and wanted to punish her.
Lingshan bit her lips- she was about to explode. Why, why was she treating a female thief better than her? Am I that hard to move your heart? She was a bit of an idiot before, but she wasn't anymore! She was much calmer and more mature now, no longer the hothead she used to be. Was she still not as good as a female thief?
Xiaoke opened her mouth, stunned. She looked at Lingshan's chest heaving up and down, and couldn't help but sigh. Why did it seem like the male thief wasn't treating her well? Could it be that he was getting tired of the old, and was interested in her?
With that thought, Xiaoke started to feel conflicted- did this mean that she had a chance to kill the female thief and become one? But … it seemed that if the male thief liked the new and got tired of the old, what if he replaced her after a while? What would happen to the orphanage if she became a withered flower and lost her capital?
No, I have to think about it carefully. Although I have a good impression of the male thief, this is related to my life and the future of the orphanage. I can't act rashly!
Xiaoke quickened her steps and followed, giving Lingshan an apologetic look.
Lingshan didn't know what to do with Xiaoke. With Lin Yi here, there was no way she could bring her back. Whatever, she was here to catch the graverobber. She didn't want to cause more trouble. She was here to catch the graverobber.
With Xiaoke as an example, Old Hei and Elder Yu didn't say anything, but the two of them became much more careful. They only looked at the antiques and utensils in the racks casually, keeping their eyes and ears open to all directions, paying attention to any incoming danger at all times.
"These are all normal utensils." Old Hei said faintly after looking.
These were antiques, but they weren't worth much. They were the same as the pile of treasures in front of the door, just to fool people. They weren't made from famous official kilns, and they belonged to the market. They were worth a few thousand to tens of thousands of kuai, and the most expensive one was only a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. Old Hei didn't care about that.
If Old Hei didn't care about it, naturally Elder Yu wouldn't care either. Plus, Elder Yu was here for treasures, not money- his attention was on the qi gathering pill and the medical notes, as well as the notes of the legendary refiner. Evidently, something as important as this should be kept in the vault or library, or even in the main tomb. There was no way something as precious as this could be placed in a long hallway outside the tomb.
Even so, Elder Yu still checked the utensils one by one, wanting to see if there was anything hidden inside.
"There's nothing I want. You guys can take it if you want." Elder Yu said faintly.
Lin Yi walked over and looked at them one by one before leaving. Xiaoke was still in shock from what happened. She wanted to take a few utensils, but she was afraid that the rock would appear again. She shook her head and left with Lin Yi.
Lingshan and Yutian weren't here to rob tombs, so it didn't matter if the things here were valuable or not.
The group continued walking, and on the left and right side of the hallway, there were still treasure chests and display cabinets, but they all left after a few glances. Xiaoke, on the other hand, didn't dare to be greedy, and only took a few gold ingots from each chest. She didn't want to be greedy, and she still paid attention to the surroundings to see if there was any danger.
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiaoke wasn't as greedy as before, but she was still greedy. Lin Yi had to help her predict danger when she took the Gold Ingot. What was this?!
Not far away, the group saw a bookshelf, and Elder Yu ran over quickly. He was only interested in books and pills, nothing else mattered to him. This was the first bookshelf he saw, naturally, he wouldn't let it go so easily.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, followed quickly. Elder Yu wouldn't let these things go, and neither would he! The reason why Lin Yi kept using opportunities to trick Elder Yu was so that he could have an easier time in the fight.
Elder Yu wasn't too happy with Lin Yi's actions, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Lin Yi knew medicine, and so he could tell what the books on the bookshelf were. These were all medical books, but they weren't the only ones or the lost ones. These were all normal medical books and pharmacopoeias, and the bookstores in the market had copies of these books, so it wasn't strange at all.
However, the real purpose of this bookshelf might be to confuse those little thieves who came in to steal. They didn't know that medical books were unique. The real value of these books was not the content inside, but the book itself. Ancient books were also a kind of antique. They could be collected by scholars or gifts to friends. Each book was worth a lot.
