Disaster
After such a farce, the auction naturally wouldn't continue.
Zuo Mo sent the guests off apologetically, while Ye Zichen moved a chair over from the backstage and sat down as he looked at Shi Qian.
"Why did you become a thief?"
"Don't say it so badly, okay? I'm a thief!" Shi Qian replied in annoyance. "Even thieves have morals. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Mhmm, fine! Then isn't that saying that you're a thief? You're a thief … Why did you repeatedly come to steal from the Treasure Tower? "
"The Treasure Tower is rich," Shi Qian licked his lips. Shi Qian licked his lips and said, "After I steal it, I don't use it for myself. I'm a righteous thief. The treasures that I steal are all given to the commoners who can't afford to live. "
Hearing that, Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and nodded.
At that moment, Shi Qian spoke up once again.
"I didn't understand the situation when I first came, and thought that the Treasure Tower was exploiting the commoners. After I went back, I looked into it and found out that the Treasure Tower would often give out food to the poor. After that, I didn't plan on stealing from them anymore. "
"But you still came," Ye Zichen smiled.
"It's different this time," Shi Qian waved his hand. "Someone contacted me and told me to come and ruin the auction. I wanted to refuse, but I was moved by the price they offered, so I decided to go against my conscience and do it. I didn't expect to meet this big bro again! "
Shi Qian looked at Yang Jian with a sad expression, then raised his eyebrows.
"Oh yeah, this big bro is the real robber. He stole the goods last time, why didn't you guys arrest him? "
"That's my bro. He returned the goods he stole from you to the Treasure Tower," Ye Zichen replied calmly.
Zuo Mo, who stood on the side, smiled, "That's my bro.
Zuo Mo, who stood on the side, smiled, "No wonder this benefactor didn't want anything but the Barrier Breaking Grass. It was all your idea, right? When you gave me the Barrier Breaking Pill, I was wondering where you got the ingredients from. "
"Ahem …"
Ye Zichen coughed. He didn't continue the discussion, and instead turned to Shi Qian.
"You said that you came because someone asked you to ruin the auction?"
"Yes!" Shi Qian answered with certainty.
"Who?"
Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes. Zuo Mo's expression darkened as well.
She reckoned that there were only a few people who wanted to ruin the auction. Recently, there was a new election for the clan's cabinet, and those people definitely wanted to make things difficult for her.
That way, she would be able to lower her score among the elders. Then, those people might be able to take the opportunity to rise.
"The person looking for me is an old man. He's quite strong … Actually, half of the reason why I came was forced by this old man. Although I'm good at escaping, I'm still powerless against a Heaven Immortal! "
Shi Qian shrugged with a wry smile. Ye Zichen and Zuo Mo looked at each other.
Old man.
A Sky Immortal!
From each other's eyes, they could see each other's guesses.
Right at this moment, Elder Lin, who hadn't appeared earlier, rushed up the stairs from the sixth floor. When he saw the subdued Shi Qian, his expression instantly froze …
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this old man!"
Everyone from the Treasure Tower looked over. When they saw that it was actually Elder Lin, they were all astonished.
Zuo Mo smiled meaningfully. When Elder Lin noticed everyone's strange expressions, he walked up and acted like he didn't know what was going on, "What's going on?
This old man sensed something strange in the north, so I went over to take a look. "
"Elder Lin, are you sure?" Zuo Mo smiled. "This divine thief just told me that you ordered him to ruin the auction."
"Nonsense!"
Elder Lin's expression froze. He rolled up his sleeves, then quickly walked in front of Shi Qian with a snort.
"Just kill this kind of scum."
Elder Lin's right hand glowed with a strong killing intent as he slapped towards Shi Qian.
"Elder Lin, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it just nonsense or not? Can't we just face each other?"
Ye Zichen raised his hand and received the slap. With two layers of protection, the slap caused Ye Zichen's arm to feel numb, while the blood in his chest churned.
Shi Qian, who stood behind Ye Zichen, revealed a hint of emotion in his eyes …
This brat saved his life.
"Ye Zichen."
Zuo Mo quickly held him up, while her eyes were filled with worry. Yang Jian and Zhu Ganglie glared fiercely at Elder Lin and wanted to make a move.
"Yang Jian, Old Pig!"
Ye Zichen shouted. Yang Jian and Zhu Ganglie retreated with a frown.
"Brat, what are you doing!?" Elder Lin's heart was filled with shock. His angry slap was actually blocked by the brat.
He did find Shi Qian. The title of divine thief wasn't for nothing. He thought that Shi Qian would be able to accomplish anything.
Elder Lin had calculated the time for him to return.
If Shi Qian succeeded, then he would be able to use this chance to complain about Zuo Mo to the elders. However, he didn't expect Shi Qian to be captured.
He couldn't allow his deeds to be exposed, so … he could only slander Shi Qian.
"Young Lady, this brat colluded with Shi Qian. They actually want to harm you. You should know very well that I'm on your side. The reason why they threw this dirty water at me is to weaken your power in the clan! Young Lady, think about it. Old Lin has done his best for you for so many years. Don't you trust me? "
Elder Lin knelt onto the ground, while the others couldn't help but be moved by his emotional expression.
However, Ye Zichen merely smiled in response. Zuo Mo merely laughed coldly.
"Done his best? Are you trying to say that Ye Zichen got close to me because Qingcheng told him to?"
"This old man isn't certain, but he definitely isn't a good person," Elder Lin rebuked angrily with bloodshot eyes.
"Geezer, you're truly shameless. I, the divine thief Shi Qian, have always been a man of my word. You clearly told laozi to come and ruin it. You even said that all the treasures would be mine after it's done, and that you would give me three percent of the Treasure Tower's profits. It had nothing to do with this little bro at all, and you still want to slander me? "
Elder Lin snorted, "Look at the loophole in your words.
It's one thing for all the treasures to be yours, but three percent of the profits? This old man is merely the leader of the guest chamberlains. How could I promise you something like that? "
"You're truly shameless!" Shi Qian cursed.
Zuo Mo, who had been standing on the side, also raised her eyebrows with a smile, "Why can't I? As long as you take me down, then Qingcheng will ascend to the throne. How … is it possible that you can't give me something like that? "
"Young Lady!" Elder Lin said in terror. "Why don't you believe me!?"
"Ye Zichen, what do you think we should do?" Zuo Mo ignored Elder Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked towards Ye Zichen, who had remained silent.
