Lian Hai Changjin and Yan Li looked at each other.
"Look at how you've scared him." Yan Li shrugged.
"No matter how you look at it, it's Brother Yan's fault." Lian Hai Changjin looked at his clothes. There was nothing wrong with them. They were neat and clean, and he still looked elegant.
"You're the one who knocked." Yan Li said shamelessly.
"What's going on?" Lian Hai Changjin frowned. "Who's inside? Why is the door closed?"
There was no sound from behind the door.
Yan Li rolled his eyes and rubbed his fingers at Lianhai Changjin. "Come, come, come. Let's test the waters. When you need money to pave the way, I feel that your image has been elevated a lot."
"Don't you have your own!" Lian Hai Changjin said angrily. "I'm not a fool."
Yan Li said innocently, "I lost my Qiankun Bag."
"I don't believe you!" Lian Hai Changjin glared at him.
"Search me if you don't believe me." Yan Li spread his hands indifferently.
"You really lost it?" Lian Hai Changjin asked.
"I really lost it." Yan Li said angrily. "If not, I wouldn't need your money. I might even be richer than you."
Lian Hai Changjin was doubtful, but still took out a banknote.
"Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows. "Give me two thousand taels of gold. I'm borrowing it from you."
Lian Hai Changjin muttered, "Today is different from the past. That's a month's worth of my salary."
Yan Li almost vomited blood. "A month's worth? Damn, you're a bank owner after all! Don't talk nonsense. Just give it to me. If I want to give it away, I won't give you less! "
Lian Hai Changjin reluctantly took it out.
Yan Li took out a hundred taels of gold and stuffed it through the gap in the door. "Here, this is what I promised you. I didn't go back on my word, did I?"
The banknote disappeared with a whoosh, and the door opened again.
Big Boss Gu said angrily, "If you lie to me again, I won't talk to you anymore."
"In the end, it's still your fault!" Lian Hai Changjin rolled his eyes.
As the two of them walked in, Liu Letian came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. The moment he saw Yan Li, his expression changed. "Nine Steps of the Civet!"
He darted in front of big boss Gu in two steps and stared at Yan Li like he was facing a great enemy. "What are you doing here?" His powerful aura made it seem as though his Law Domain would erupt at any time.
"Hold on!" Lianhai Changjin frowned. "Does Brother Liu not recognize me?"
Liu Letian's gaze quickly swept over him. "You're from the Lianhai Mountain Villa. How are you related to the Civet Nine Steps?"
"What's Nine Steps of the Civet?" Lianhai Changjin said, "He's my friend. I brought him here to visit you because there's been some misunderstanding between the two of you. I hope to clarify it in person."
"Misunderstanding?" Liu Letian looked suspiciously at Yan Li.
Lianhai Changjin turned to look at him before walking over to close the door. "It's just a misunderstanding. My friend was targeted by your Dragon Emperor Manor the moment he arrived at the Wind Cave Residence. He was recommended to enter Jixia Academy to study and I don't want to cause trouble, so it's better to clarify things as soon as possible."
Liu Letian thought for a moment and said, "Please come in."
"Liu Letian, I'm hungry." Big boss Gu opened her innocent eyes and looked pitifully at Liu Letian.
"I steamed some buns for you. Hurry and eat them while they're hot." Liu Letian smiled dotingly.
"Okay." Big boss Gu immediately beamed with joy.
Liu Letian invited the two into his room and brought over a bench. "My humble abode is simple and crude, please don't mind."
"I want to know what treasure was stolen from the Dragon Emperor Manor, who stole it and how they did it." Yan Li sat down and got straight to the point.
"Do you usually wear a bamboo hat when you talk to people?" asked Liu Letian indifferently.
Yan Li took off his bamboo hat and revealed his true appearance. "Can you tell me now?"
Liu Letian carefully examined him for a moment and his pupils suddenly shrank. "You're Yan …"
"Shh!" Yan Li raised his index finger and waved. "It's good that you recognize me. Don't make a sound."
"Then you shouldn't be the Nine Steps Civet." Liu Letian took a deep breath. "I want to know why you appeared at that place last night and why you used a sword to threaten Miss Gu Yi."
"I've already expressed my sincerity. Answer my question first." Yan Li frowned.
Liu Letian pondered for a moment and released his Law Domain. After confirming that his voice couldn't be transmitted, he stared at Yan Li and said word by word, "The treasure that was stolen was the Moon Spirit Essence."
He thought that he might have underestimated the shock of the two, but they didn't respond even after a long while.
Were they stupid?
"Why aren't you two speaking?" he couldn't help asking.
"We're waiting for you to explain. What is the Moon Spirit Essence?" Yan Li said matter-of-factly.
Liu Letian almost fell to the ground. After guessing for a long time, these two fellows didn't know anything at all. He said helplessly, "Yan … forget about you. Brother Lianhai is from the Villa, how could he not know about the 'Moon Soul Essence'?"
"It's said that it's a rare treasure." "I didn't even know where I was a hundred years ago. How could I know?"
This logic was very problematic, but Liu Letian couldn't refute it. He shook his head and sighed. "The Moon Spirit Essence is transformed from a mutated Moon Demon Stone. Out of a million Moon Demon Stones, only one will mutate."
"Hiss —"
The two finally understood what a precious treasure was.
Liu Letian was slightly satisfied and said indifferently, "It appeared once decades ago. It was auctioned in the Immortal World and sold for a sky-high price of nine Elemental Illumination Stones."
A treasure equivalent to nine Elemental Illumination Stones was stolen. If this wasn't a shocking case, then what was?
"It really is a shocking case …" Lianhai Changjin muttered.
Yan Li said, "Who stole it?" He was more concerned about the culprit.
"It's the Nine Steps of the Civet," Liu Letian said.
"The Nine Steps of the Civet?" Yan Li said.
"You don't know about the Nine Steps of the Civet?" Liu Letian said in disbelief.
"We don't know." The two shook their heads.
Liu Letian could only patiently explain, "This person is active in the various realms of the human world and steals all kinds of treasures. No one has ever seen his true face. We don't know if he's male or female, how old he is, or what level of cultivation he's at. It's said that if you walk with him for nine steps, he can steal anything from you. That's why it's called the Nine Steps of the Civet."
"The Nine Steps of the Civet stole the Moon Spirit Essence. Why didn't he just leave the Wind Cave? No one knows who he is anyway, right?" Yan Li said.
"That's the problem." Liu Letian smiled. "An expert planted a 'String Puppet' on the Moon Spirit Essence. The Nine Steps of the Civet can't remove it, so he doesn't dare to leave the Wind Cave."
Yan Li finally found the clue. He thought for a while and said, "I have a rough idea of what happened. I have something important to do now. When I return, I'll explain to you your two questions."
