Chapter 528

Xu Qi'an regretted the moment he asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time.

It was not because the question itself was inappropriate, but because the way he asked the question was inappropriate … He exposed himself.

Lina didn't know that he was Number Three. Xu Qi'an told her that he was a peripheral member of the Heaven & Earth Society. But the question just now had undoubtedly exposed his identity.

Hmm, it's all Li Miaozhen's fault. She made me think that Number Three's identity has been exposed … It's also related to my confused and painful state now … Xu Qi'an's expression was slightly stiff as he looked at Lina cautiously.

"No!"

Lina shouted and waved her arms excitedly, "I promised the Heavenly Voodoo Granny not to tell anyone about this. I can't tell anyone that the news came from her."

Oh, the news came from the Heavenly Voodoo Granny … Wait, she still hasn't reacted to my werewolf jump?!

What a talent … Xu Qi'an looked at Lina with eyes full of admiration.

"This is your freedom. A gentleman will never force others."

Xu Qi'an nodded, showing that he didn't intend to force her. But after Lina sighed in relief, he said lightly, "Let's calculate the expenses for the time you stay in the Xu Mansion."

He first looked at the beautiful dress on Lina's body and said, "My sister made two clothes for you. The silk is of the best quality and is a gift from the emperor. It costs ten taels of silver per bolt. Together with the labor cost, the two clothes cost thirty taels of silver.

"The accommodation fee is three taels of silver per night. You've stayed at home for a few days, so it's three taels of silver. Then there's the food. Miss Lina, I don't need to elaborate on your appetite. After so many days, you've eaten a total of forty taels of silver.

"Now, please pay for the expenses. The total is one hundred and twenty taels of silver."

Lina was dumbfounded. She looked at him blankly and said, "You're amazing. You can calculate the total amount so quickly."

Hehe, the above is just some nonsense of mine … To fool a fool like you, do I need to be meticulous and meticulous? You can't calculate it anyway … No, I've been led astray by her.

Xu Qi'an patted the edge of the bed and said loudly, "Get my point."

The black-skinned boy said aggrievedly, "But I can't break my promise. I must keep my promise."

"Very well, then please pay the money or get out of my house." Xu Qi'an said fiercely.

"I …" Lina's eyes turned red. She felt that she, a foreigner, was bullied and had no one to rely on.

"I'll just leave. I'll go find Taoist Priest Golden Lotus. Even if I starve to death, die outside, or wander the streets, I won't betray the Heaven Gu Granny.

"Wait."

Xu Qi 'an stopped her and made one last effort, "The Lady of Venomous Insects is in the Southern Border, right? I'm in the capital city. The two places are separated by tens of thousands of miles. If we don't talk about it, how can we be considered to have broken our promise?"

"Lina said," Lina said seriously.

"Of course." Xu Qi 'an nodded seriously. "It's like going to the Musical House to sleep with a woman. But if she didn't pay, it wasn't prostitution. Lina was stunned. She thought that Xu Ningyan was right.

Lina was stunned. She thought about it and felt that Xu Ningyan's words made sense.

Xu Qi 'an said patiently, "Besides, you are in a foreign land and have no one to rely on. What's the point of sacrificing a bit of your reputation for survival? No one would blame you."

Lina showed a hesitant expression and loosened up a little.

Lina secretly swallowed and said in a clear voice, "Deal, but you must swear not to tell others."

Gulp … Lina secretly swallowed her saliva and said in a crisp voice, "Deal, but you have to swear not to tell anyone."

Lina turned and trotted to the door. She opened the door and poked her head out to check for a moment. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she returned to the table and said,

"Last time, No.3 asked his friend through the Book of the Earth fragment why he often picked up money. The Heavenly Gu Division of the Gu Tribe knows everything.

"It was the last time. Number Three used the Earth Book fragment to ask him about a friend who often picked up money. Our Gu Clan's Heaven Gu Division knows everything about astronomy and geography. We observe the stars above and the mountains and rivers below. We are omniscient.

Suddenly, Lina stopped talking. She looked at Xu Qi'an and widened her eyes in shock. She pointed at Xu Qi'an and screamed.

Suddenly, Lina's voice stopped. She looked at Xu Qi 'an in a daze. Her eyes slowly widened, revealing an extremely shocked expression. She pointed at Xu Qi' an and screamed,

"Y-y-you … are Number Three?!"

Xu Qi'an cupped his hands in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I am No.3. But I promised the Jinlian Taoist priest not to reveal my identity. Xu Qi 'an cupped his hands in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I am Number Three, but I promised Taoist Priest Golden Lotus that I would not reveal my identity. Now that we've broken our promise, it's not a big deal. "

Lina stared at him blankly for a long time and finally accepted the fact that Xu Qi'an was No.3. She felt that they had broken their promise, so the guilt in her heart was greatly reduced.

"Granny Heavenly Gu said that twenty years ago, there were two thieves who stole something very precious from a rich family. Some of the rich family members had already realized it, but some still haven't realized it.

"Mrs. Heavenly Gu asked me where you were. I told her that you were in the capital. She couldn't believe it and thought that you should not be in the capital. "

"Wait a minute."

Xu Qi 'an interrupted Lina. He leaned against the pillow and was silent for a while. Then, he slowly said, "Continue."

"Later on, before I left the Southern Border, Granny Heavenly Gu told me that one of the two thieves was her husband. There is a legend in the Southern Border that one day, the Gu God will wake up from the abyss and destroy the world, turning the Nine States into a world of Gu.

"This legend was deduced by the prophets of the Heaven Gu Division generation after generation. It is a future that will definitely happen. In order to change the future, Grandpa thought of a way and left the Southern Border. Then, he never came back.

"The Natal Gu he left in the Gu Clan was exhausted, which foreshadowed his death.

"Mrs. Heavenly Gu also told me that that thing will be born soon. She predicted that I will be involved in it, so she asked me to come to the capital to seek opportunities."

Lina finished. Except for the existence of the Seven Absolute Gu, she told him everything.

Mrs. Heavenly Gu asked her to give the Seven Absolute Gu to the fated person. Lina thought that it had nothing to do with Xu Qi'an, so there was no need to disclose it to him.

"I know … Lina, you go out first. I want to be alone." Xu Qi'an said, "Don't tell anyone about today's conversation."

"Okay!"

Lina nodded hard and walked to the door briskly. When she opened the door, she turned back and said, "I will take Lingyin to the Osmanthus Restaurant first. Remember to pay the bill later."

“？”

Even though he was in such a terrible mood, Xu Qi 'an still had many questions in his mind.

He looked at Lina in astonishment. "No, didn't you just finish lunch?"

"I will take Lingyin to the horse stance later. I will be hungry." Lina waved her hand and left the room.

"Please, Bean Sack, do you want to eat me poor?" "Can I take back my promise just now …" Xu Qi'an opened his mouth, but his heart ached so much that he found it hard to breathe.

Lina ran out of the room happily. Thinking about the dishes of the Osmanthus Restaurant, she quickly threw the matter of breaking her promise to the back of her mind.

As for the truth that Xu Qi'an was number three, she thought that it did not matter who number three was. It had nothing to do with her. As long as she was happy, there was no need to think so much.

If it was number four, Chu Yuanzhen, he would definitely be brainstorming right now.

When she passed by the east room, she heard Mrs. Xu whispering to her eldest daughter, "Lingyue, have you heard any strange sounds at night recently?"

"No."

"But I always feel that there are people whispering outside the window at night. Sometimes, there is the sound of tiles flipping on the roof. Do you think that the house is haunted again? "

"Mother, you are talking nonsense again. I will be so scared that I can't sleep at night. Then I will go find Big Brother tonight and have him accompany me at the door. "

"Mother is not talking nonsense. You don't know, every day after dinner, Lingyue will go to the courtyard alone for a while. When I asked her what she was doing, she said that she saw a lot of ghosts and wanted to fry them to eat, but she couldn't catch them. I heard that children's eyes can see unclean things. "

"Mother, are you on your period? Why are you so paranoid? There is Father, Big Brother, and Second Brother at home. What ghost would dare to cause trouble in our house? Moreover, Tenzō Shōnin is at home, what are you afraid of? "

"That makes sense."

Her words were reasonable, and Auntie was convinced. She then said, "Lingyue also told me that Lady Susu is a ghost."

"Lingyue is so rude, she will offend the guests."

"Yes, so I beat her up."

Lina thought about it and decided not to tell the truth to the mother and daughter, in case they were afraid. She walked around the house and found her disciple who was hiding in the flower garden, sucking on a chicken leg bone.

"Why are you hiding here?" Lina put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "Want to be lazy again?"

Xu Lingyin looked at her, silently threw away the chicken leg bone, then covered her stomach and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lina blinked.

"I ate a chicken leg of unknown origin, I am now poisoned, I can't do the horse stance." Xu Lingyin announced loudly.

"Nonsense, you hid this chicken leg bone during lunch." Lina cleverly exposed her.

Xu Lingyin was shocked, she did not expect her plan to be seen through by her master. As expected of her master, she was indeed smarter than her. Thus, he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something.

"It is the chicken leg that big brother left, there is his saliva on it. Big brother's saliva is poisonous, so I can't do the horse stance."

"Your big brother's saliva is not poisonous." Lina exposed her again.

"You have not eaten big brother's saliva, how do you know his saliva is not poisonous?" Xu Lingyin was not convinced.

Lina was stunned, she did not know how to refute, so she beat Xu Lingyin up.

It was natural for a master to beat his disciple.

This disciple was a bit smart, if she did not beat him now, she would not be able to control him in a few years!

...

In the room, Xu Qi'an endured the headache, sat at the desk, and wrote four words on the rice paper: 20 years ago.

He did not want to analyze and reason in such a bad state, because it would cause too many mistakes, but it was related to his biggest secret, Xu Qi'an did not want to wait for a moment.

He rubbed his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and wrote the second sentence: Two thieves.

After a few seconds of silence, he wrote the third sentence: Only one left.

There should be no doubt about this, it was impossible for Grandma Gu to make a wrong judgment. As the current leader of the Heaven Gu Division, she would not make a mistake in this kind of thing.

One of the two thieves from back then had already fallen.

Finally, he wrote on the rice paper: Gu God, the end of the world!

He got up and walked to the round table, poured a cup of cold water, and slowly drank it. After drinking, he returned to the desk and wrote five words behind "20 years ago".

Battle of Shanhaiguan.

"On the official ship returning to the capital from Yunzhou, when I woke up, I dreamed of the scene of the Battle of Shanhaiguan and saw the young Wei Yuan … This is very unscientific, because I was just born 20 years ago, it was impossible for me to experience the Battle of Shanhaiguan, so it is impossible for me to have relevant memories."

Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he wrote the word "luck" behind "two thieves".

"Grandma Gu insisted that I was the one who picked up the silver, and that I had something to do with the two thieves. But what is my biggest secret? It is luck!

"So, the two thieves stole Daibun's luck? In the ancient tomb, the monk Shen Shu said that my luck had been refined … "

Xu Qi'an dipped the ink, and after "Only one left", he wrote: "Yunzhou warlock?"

The reason why there was a question mark was because he was not sure.

"Dean Zhao Shou said that the three forces related to luck are the Confucian school, warlock, and dynasty. First of all, excluding the dynasty, I am most likely not a member of the royal family. Secondly, excluding the Confucian school, the strongest point of the Confucian school is the law, not the use of luck.

"Only warlocks are experts in playing with luck. I suspect that the first and second grade warlocks are the professions related to luck. "

Then who was it that stole the Great Consecrator's fate, refined it, and hid it in their own bodies?

Xu Qi'an used to think that it was the Supervisor, because he was clearly arranged by the Supervisor, but now he had doubts.

Could the Supervisor be a thief? As the Supervisor of Daibun, no one in the whole dynasty was better at playing with luck than him. If he really wanted to steal Daibun's luck, would he need to conspire with the people of the Southern Border's Heavenly Gu Tribe?

That would be looking down on this first grade warlock too much.

"Compared to the Supervisor, I suspect it is the warlock who appeared in Yunzhou, the mysterious warlock who is at least third grade. He conspired with the former leader of the Heavenly Gu Tribe to steal Daibun's luck.

"Because they conspired, it was temporarily hidden from the Supervisor? The luck was stolen twenty years ago, and the only major event that happened twenty years ago was the battle of Shanhai Pass, which involved all the forces in Jiuzhou and involved millions of troops.

"The battle of Shanhai Pass that I saw in my dream can also be used as evidence. Although I did not participate in the battle, it is likely that this is not my memory, but a scene brought by the revival of luck? In that case, the battle of Shanhai Pass that year was not simple. If I investigate what caused it, I might find more clues.

"Why is the luck on me? I am just an ordinary eldest son of the Xu family. There is no reason for the luck to be given to me...

"Such an important thing was given to me, but it has been twenty years without saying anything. Is it really given to me for nothing?"

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an's body trembled, and his pupils contracted violently. He stood still like a statue for a long time, and his arm slightly trembled as he wrote three words on the rice paper:

"Tax case!"
