The boss of the treasure-stealing group is a serious man.

Although he likes to peek at other people's underwear, he still firmly believes that he is a serious person, and even his younger brother agrees with this.

Even if he was ambushed by someone, he remained calm and composed and did not feel ashamed at all.

But when he saw himself being tied to a wooden stake like a pig, the boss couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master Xingqiu! You must know that this batch of goods belongs to you. Even if you have ten nerves, you guys wouldn't dare to rob it!!"

The boss of the treasure thief group opened his mouth with runny nose and tears, and his fat body twisted and twisted.

——Maybe it really looks like a pig tied to a stake.

"Oh? What do you mean, if this batch of goods is not mine, you can just rob it boldly?"

Xing Qiuxu opened his eyes, and the feeling of oppression went straight away.

"Of course... no, it's not!"

The boss of the treasure thief group wiped away the tears he had squeezed out, and felt a little aggrieved: "Master Xingqiu, I abide by the rules set by my eldest sister and have never violated them!"

"Yes, yes, we have never done anything that breaks the rules of a big sister!"

Mentioning this eldest sister, the members of the Treasure Thieves Group who were too timid to say anything suddenly started shouting, as if this gave them great confidence.

Big sister head?

Xingqiu looked at their excited expressions thoughtfully.

Xingqiu also knows a little about the "eldest sister" they call her. It is said that her name is Yan'er, and she plays an important role in the entire Liyue Treasure Thieving Group. There are even rumors that she is already a genuine member of the Treasure Thieving Group.

is the boss.

"So... your eldest sister allowed what happened this time? Or... was her instruction?"

Xingqiu spoke in a calm tone.

"this..."

The treasure thieves looked at each other, no one dared to speak. After a while, their boss said hesitantly: "It's not that... the eldest sister said that as long as the work does not violate the rules she set, it is okay.

I did it privately..."

"In other words, your eldest sister can't protect you?"

Xingqiu took a step forward and looked down at him.

"no no..."

It was only then that the members of the treasure-stealing group realized that it was okay to scare ordinary businessmen with the name of the treasure-stealing group's eldest sister, but the man in front of them was the young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Not only would it not be possible to tell the eldest sister-tou's name,

It makes him want to give up, and even makes him interested.

"Actually...actually someone instigated the brothers to do this!"

The boss of the treasure thief group suddenly reacted, and then spoke quickly: "They are a group of weirdos who wear masks and refuse to show their true colors. But they have a very magical way to see every move of these caravans, which is exactly what they do.

Because of this, we can predict things in advance..."

"oh?"

"Yes, yes, originally the brothers didn't plan to rob the caravan, but the conditions offered by those guys were too generous..."

The boss of the treasure-stealing group spoke tremblingly, fearing that Xingqiu would chop him down with his sword.

However, at this time, Xingqiu said with a smile:

"Wearing a mask and refusing to show our true colors... Speaking of which, I know those guys too. But... they did some not-so-good things."

The boss of the treasure-stealing group rolled his eyes and instantly understood what Xingqiu meant—it turned out that he wanted to find that group of people!

You should have told me earlier!

Our hard-nosed treasure-stealing team will never keep secrets for others!

"okay!"

After discovering that Xingqiu's true purpose was not with him, the boss of the treasure-stealing group suddenly spoke boldly: "Since Master Xingqiu has spoken, we will help you find that group!"

"Very well, let them go."

After receiving a positive answer, Xingqiu smiled and asked his servants to loosen the rope that tied up the treasure thief group.

The treasure thieves who had regained their freedom cried with joy, and they all took the lead bravely. Their enthusiasm for finding those weirdos was unprecedentedly high.

At this moment, under the hint of Xingqiu's words, they even thought that those weirdos had set a trap and deliberately framed them.

His grandma's fault almost caused our treasure stealing group to become enemies with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. This matter can't be let go so easily!

Seeing the positive look of the treasure stealing group, Xingqiu also shook his head in amusement.

——Brothers, who are you not good at cooperating with, why should you choose such a group of people?

Although I have never participated in the development of the Guhua Sect... I cannot allow you to do this.

"Young Master Xingqiu, the meeting place we chose to share the spoils with them in the past is in a dilapidated house south of Jueyunjian. The time is coming soon, how about we?"

The boss of the treasure stealing group rubbed his hands and walked over with a flattering smile.

"South of Jueyunjian?"

Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's go there now."

"okay!"

The boss of the treasure-stealing group had a flattering look on his face and seemed not to notice Xingqiu's abnormality at all. After receiving the reply, he quickly reorganized the team.

"..."

Seeing this, Xingqiu didn't say anything, and his face remained calm.

But there was a huge wave in his heart.

——South of Jueyunjian, which is the direction of Tianqiu Valley.

If we talk about the area alone, this was once the site of a certain civilization, with many relics remaining. It is also one of the favorite areas of the treasure thief group. But the problem is that this place has been banned by the Guhua sect for hundreds of years.

Those senior brothers... Although Xingqiu believed that they could collude with the treasure stealing group, when it came to the sect's rules, they valued them higher than the sky and would never violate them.

At least Xingqiu has been a member of the Guhua sect for many years, and he has never heard of any violation of discipline by those three senior brothers.

In this case...could it be possible that the person who directed this group of treasure thieves was not from the Guhua sect?

But...the power left on the carriage is so similar that Xingqiu can even use the same method to hide it from this group of treasure thieves with a keen sense of smell...

Xingqiu nodded slightly and looked at the sky, where the sun was gradually setting.

Something's wrong...

Delivery of goods at this time...

"Do you still remember what those people's masks look like?"

Xingqiu seemed to have thought of something and looked at the boss of the treasure thief group.

"Hey? What does the mask look like? Let me think about it... Oh, it looks like a popular ghost symbol on the market, but the style is very strange. I have never seen anything like it in Liyue before."

When this was suddenly mentioned, the boss of the treasure stealing group scratched his head. Although he was a little confused, he still answered.

Ghost symbols?

Somehow, Xingqiu remembered a novel from Inazuma's "Weird Stories". One of the stories tells the story of a group of people with ghost symbols who use some means to deceive people, but in the end they run into a real person.

Horrible incidents caused by ghosts and no survivors.

Logically speaking, there is absolutely no connection between the two.

But for some reason, Xingqiu always felt that something was wrong. The matter seemed to have gone beyond the simple category of "internal strife in the Guhua Sect".

"Okay, are you ready?"

Xingqiu nodded, his tone calm.

"Of course, Master Xingqiu, we can set off at any time!"

"Let's go."

After Xingqiu said that, he got on the carriage, picked up a book and started reading.

The boss of the treasure-stealing group glanced at it curiously and found out it was "Liyue Ancient Chronicles", and immediately lost interest.

"Liyue Ancient Chronicles"?
Chapter completed!
