Chapter 448 The Little Beggar's Counterattack and Ascension 47
"Do you think I'm stupid? No matter how complicated the relationship is, if I really want to kill you, who do I need to report to after I'm done? It's just that the person behind you is powerful, so others don't want to offend him easily."
The masked man remained silent.
"Aren't you guys looking for me to get something? Why, I'm right here, come get it!"
"Don't be so arrogant. They can protect you temporarily, but not forever."
"Well, you are naive. They can really protect me for the rest of my life. But after a few hundred years, I won't need their protection anymore."
The masked man snorted coldly and was speechless.
"What a waste of time! If you don't show up, I will destroy your Shadow Building and go find the person who targeted me myself!"
After waiting for a while, Gu Qian's patience ran out.
“Forget it. Since you guys are unwilling to cooperate, I will have no choice but to use violence. Yuanyuan, Yanyan, go ahead!”
After receiving Gu Qian's order, Yuanyuan and Chi Yan rushed out immediately.
"Wait!" The secret door at the back of the attic opened, and a middle-aged man in a black robe with dark patterns walked out.
Although he doesn't look old, it's definitely just an appearance.
However, this person... is really incompatible with the Xiying Building. He doesn't seem like a wicked person, but rather a decent person.
Gu Qian turned her head and glanced at Xuan Lanyue, and sure enough, she saw that he was frowning with disbelief in his eyes.
"Qianqian, you are in the late stage of tribulation." Yuanyuan's voice appeared in Gu Qian's mind.
Yo!
This made her encounter two great men who were transcending tribulation in succession!
I don’t know if this one will die at her hands like the previous one.
"Girl, what do you want?"
"It's very simple. Who wants to mess with me? Tell me this and I won't mess with you."
A look of hesitation flashed across the man's face, but after looking at Yuanyuan and Chiyan, he had to give in.
"It is the rule of our Shadow Shop... that we cannot reveal the information of the person who issued the task."
"Then I don't care. If they want to mess with me, I'll mess with you. Senior, you can do whatever you want."
"How about this? I have an item that that person gave me that represents his identity. I can give it to you. Tell others... that you broke into my Shadow Building and stole this thing. How about that?"
Gu Qian smiled, "Senior, you are really good at making plans, but I don't want to take any blame at all!"
"We are just doing business. We have no grudges against you and a few others in the past or today!"
"Let me see that thing first." Gu Qian didn't want to waste time talking to him.
Chen Mo felt very aggrieved. If he had known these people were so capable, he would never have agreed to take the order.
It was obvious that the people he sent over were all selected and checked by him personally, and there was nothing to prove that this matter was related to his Xiying Building.
Now, not only did we lose the wife, but we also lost our army.
Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he also attracted these ancestors, and now even his identity has been exposed.
He saw it clearly. This girl and the two men with unfathomable strength acted as if they saw nothing of him, with faces full of indifference.
Only the man standing behind the girl saw him with a serious expression. It was obvious that he had seen him and knew his identity.
But he couldn't do anything. This man was also very powerful. He was obviously from a famous and upright family. He was also protected by this girl and those two men.
In short, his identity could not be concealed, so there was no need to take the risk of offending these people again.
"That's it. If you don't know, ask the man behind you. He must know."
Chen Mo took out a uniquely shaped plate, which looked like jade or stone, and the material was very unique.
"Do you know?" Gu Qian asked Xuan Lanyue holding the sign.
Xuan Lanyue looked at the sign in Gu Qian's hand and frowned even more.
"Maybe... I know."
"Who is it? Just tell me and I'll ask him again."
"The only recognized descendant of the Queen on the continent, the Shang clan of the Northern Kingdom."
"The lineage of the Human Emperor? Wasn't it before..."
She remembered that the earliest Human Emperor, in order to destroy the demons, had opened up the connection between the upper and lower realms at the cost of his own life, and he was a man of great responsibility.
Why are these descendants... only doing petty and sneaky things?
This is not just a matter of a few lives, but the lives of two sects and Hua Qiluo's family.
There are too many people involved in this. What are they doing this for?
Just the contents of that scroll?
Gu Qian looked up at Chen Mo, wanting to confirm whether Xuan Lanyue’s answer was true.
Seeing Chen Mo's affirmative look, Gu Qian fell silent.
"Are you... sure?"
"Confirmed. Although we are bold, we don't like to take the blame. We will confirm the backgrounds of both parties involved in the mission."
"...Okay, got it. Cancel this mission. I don't want to see anyone from the Shadow Lovers Building again."
"Of course, don't worry. I have the hope of ascending to heaven, and I won't seek death."
Chen Mo took out two storage bags and handed them to Gu Qian.
"One of these two is the reward they gave me. It's all here intact. As for the other one... it's just a small token of my gratitude. I'm deeply sorry and regretful about this matter. I just hope you won't hold it against me."
Gu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile: "You didn't feel sorry when you sent people to block me when I went out alone!"
"This..." A drop of cold sweat flowed down Chen Mo's forehead.
"Oh, I am ignorant of my own highness and my dog eyes look down on others. My dear friend, please don't be so mean to me. Just let me go this time. If you are willing to let me go this time, I will swear to the heavens that I will never plot against you and the others in the future."
"Is what you said true?"
"Absolutely true! I swear to the heavens right now that as long as I, Chen Mo, am alive, I, Xiyinglou, and other forces behind me will not... What is your name, young friend?"
"Gu Qian."
"Um... I won't go against Gu Qian and her friends. Do you think this is okay?"
Gu Qian thought for a moment and said, "Okay! But I have one more request. Your studio needs to do something for me for free. It won't be difficult to do. How do you do it?"
"Of course you can, but I saw that you seemed to have some opinions about my Xiying Building. Why..."
Gu Qian smiled gently, "Your subordinate is right about one thing. Everyone has selfishness and darkness. There will always be a time when a place like the Shadow Building is useful."
When Chen Mo heard this, he burst into laughter.
"You little girl, I'm starting to like you!"
"Hmph, do I need you to like me?"
"No need, no need, my friend has a bright future, you don't need me!"
"Okay, I'll take these two. Consider them as compensation for the mental damage I suffered from being scared by those people."
Gu Qian took two storage bags from Chen Mo.
After hearing this, Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
Mental damages?
Although the word was new, he understood its meaning as soon as he heard it.
He hasn't asked for compensation for mental damage yet. This Gu Qian is really...
However, this time he was able to bend and stretch, otherwise he would have been dead.
It would be better for Xiyinglou to be more restrained in the future. He will slowly withdraw and focus on cultivation.
If he continues to do this and hits a wall again, there will be no hope for him to ascend.
Chen Mo shook his head and looked in the direction of Gu Qian.
You never know, you might meet these people again in the future, so it’s important to maintain good relationships with them.
