Chapter 701: Chapter 701 – The Moving Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse
Chapter 701: The Moving Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse
The fake Xu Zhiling’s movements were clearly reflected in the three women’s eyes, and Shi Feixuan and Wan Wan were both stunned . Pain instantly appeared on their faces .
“Feixuan, Wan Wan, it’s best if you go back now . Kuo Zhong is my best friend, and even though you knew that nothing would come out of it, you still came here to ask me for his whereabouts . Anyone in my position would be angry . ”
“Since Zhiling does not want to talk to me, please help him wrap up his wound, Artisan Shi . I will leave first . ”
“Zhiling…”
Wan Wan did not give up . Even though Xu Zhiling’s actions were reasonable, she did not get an answer to her previous doubts, and she did not want to leave immediately .
But right when she was about to do something, she noticed that Xu Zhiling was using his injured hand to quickly form a seal .
“Lin!” [1]
The air trembled! A solemn and dignified face appeared in front of Xu Zhiling . Its eyes burned like the sun, and it stared at Wan Wan, who had thought of further testing Xu Zhiling .
Unmoving Bright King Seal!
Behind the solemn and dignified expression, there was a pair of emotionless and cold eyes that were fixed on Wan Wan .
Even she found it hard to withstand the impact from the true words of a Daoist . When she saw Xu Zhiling execute True Nine Words Seals, the doubt in her heart instantly faded away, and a hint of regret as well as uneasiness surged in her heart .
She said nothing and just cast Xu Zhiling a glance full of extreme resentment . Then, like an elf, she quickly jumped into the river in the night .
By then, the moon had already hidden itself in the clouds .
The pleasure boat became silent once more, and Happy as well as Shi Qingxuan were the only ones left .
After some time, Shi Qingxuan sent a private message to him . “That was close . Thank goodness you have a sharp mind and used your actions to get through this . They shocked them into leaving, or else, we would have caused a delay in Zhiling and Young Zhong’s task . ”
“Can I be considered to have gotten through the entire matter now?”

Happy laughed wanly in his heart . No one knew that his heart had been stuck in his throat moments earlier . He had to use Bright King Seal to fortify his will and strengthen his body and soul, but he did not expect that he would score a lucky shot and make Wan Wan, who was the hardest to deal with, go away .
Shi Qingxuan smiled faintly and continued speaking to him in private . “It is indeed about time . Right now, even if the people from the evil cult or Dao Sect notice that you are an imposter, they will not be able to affect Zhiling and Young Zhong . ”
She stopped talking for a moment before she said, “Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse should be safely in Zhiling and Young Zhong’s hands, and it’s all thanks to you . Alright, I will also leave now . ”
When she finished speaking, the system notification rang .
“Ding!
“Completed Xu Zhiling’s Request . You obtained ten thousand Chivalry Points, and your relationship status with Xu Zhiling has been upgraded to close friends . Your relationship status with Shi Qingxuan has been upgraded to familiar . ”
‘I knew it!’
Happy was delighted . He did not get any rewards, which meant that he had received a rarely seen noble quest, in which a gentleman entrusted him with something .
The disadvantage of this type of quest was that there was no substantial reward . However, this sort of quest placed an emphasis on the person of noble character opening their heart to the player . Through this quest, Xu Zhiling came to like Happy, and it was not far away from him trusting Happy completely . Next time, it would be much easier to get quests from Xu Zhiling or even get involved with his quests .
Happy stood up while thinking about it .
The borders of the clouds shone a little from the bright moonlight when Shi Qingxuan stood up gently . She still had a white veil hiding her face, which made her mysterious and cold, like an immortal who descended to the mortal world .
“Brother Zhiling asked me to take care of you . He’s not back yet, so it’s not appropriate for me to leave . ”
“Oh well, since you insist, I will have to trouble you to escort me . ”
Shi Qingxuan nodded gently . Her gentle and pleasant voice caused all those who heard it to feel that all the troubles in the world were gone .

It was no wonder then why Xu Zhiling gave up on the sexy elf from the evil cult and Shi Feixuan, who was inflexible and adhered strictly to the rules but chose to live his life with Shi Qingxuan . Any other man would do the same… probably…
Ahem, it was very difficult to choose between the three women .
Only Xu Zhiling, who stood aloof from the world but was a passionate swordsman who lived in seclusion could gain the affection of three matchless beauties at the same time .
The pleasure boats sailed slowly under the moonlight!
Happy and Shi Qingxuan stood on the deck .
More than ten small pleasure boats followed them on the river .
*****
Boom!
Rumble!
A row of carts that seemed like a long dragon traveled on a wide, government-made road . There were more than two hundred legitimate cavaliers escorting them . While the sky was still dark, they rushed to the port by the river .
There were more than twenty exquisite and sturdy carts with only two wheels being dragged by two horses, and each cart had four large chests nailed shut with bronze nails fixed to them . With just one glance, anyone who saw it would know that the items inside were very important .
Most of the people moving the carts were elite soldiers with equipment that was tailored for them . They were equipped with weapons and strong bows . Their eyes sparkled, and they were filled with murderous intent!
The cavaliers who were escorting the group beside them were even more impressive . They were all heavy armored cavaliers . They held the reins in one hand and an exquisite and small crossbow in their other . Once they opened the crossbow, they could kill anyone who tried to get close to them . Anyone could sense the great killing intent from a distance .
Once the martial artists in the area noticed the killing intent from the group, they wisely chose to retreat to a safe area and watched the strangers leave .
“What’s going on?”
“They seem to be an army under a marshall . ”
“That’s not right! Didn’t the rumors among the wanderers say that the equipment of the marshall’s army is very bad, so how could he get a legitimate army with metal armor? Their weapons are also so exquisite!”
As he spoke, a man rushed over from the direction of the carts and shouted loudly, “Did you hear?! Did you hear about the quest?!”
His impatient expression was accompanied by endless excitement and delight . Under the puzzled gazes of the people by the road, he eagerly gave them a shocking news while speaking like a machine gun . “Those items are all equipment brought out from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse!”
“What?!”
The expressions of the people by the road changed at the same time .
Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse was the one quest that gave them the greatest level of anxiety . One night had passed, but they had not received any news about Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse . Many people even thought that Happy had already occupied the place, so they did not expect that they would actually run into it here .
“You aren’t lying, right? Are those really treasures transferred out of Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse?!”
“Duh! Or else, why would I cause such a ruckus?!” The news bringer was also incredibly anxious and spoke without stopping, “You were very far away just now, but I was close, which was why I received a notification from the system . It said that this army is escorting the first batch of treasures from Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse to the port by the river . They will transport all this treasure out of Yangzhou City through the water to hand it to the marshall’s army . ”
“What are the details of the quest?!”
“There’s still half an hour left . If we can steal the treasure and hand it to Li Shimin or the imperial court, we will get one million taels of silver for each chest, along with a low-grade demon vessel!”
The moment he finished speaking, many of the martial artists by the road were unable to control themselves . Red filled the whites of their eyes, and they cursed while they summoned their steeds and impatiently chased after the marshall’s carts!
“Haha! It’s time for us to get rich!”
“Don’t run! Count me in!”
They did not notice that the news bringing might have brought out his horse, but did not take action . Instead, there was a cold sneer on his face while he watched hundreds of people rush forward .
‘There’s no way the marshall’s heavy-armored cavaliers will be so easy to deal with!’
