"This, this is impossible. All the valuables in our auction house are placed here." The manager said while wiping the sweat from his forehead. He looked around anxiously but found nothing.
"Did someone sneak in?" the old man said, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"That's even more impossible. In addition to the guards inside and outside, this warehouse is also full of mechanisms. It's impossible for anyone to open the mechanisms and come in." The steward said, his face turning paler the more he spoke.
This thing was not lost or stolen, so it can only be considered that he lost it. If it was normal, it would be fine, but now when the tiger bone tendon was needed to treat the elder, the main medicinal ingredient was missing. If the higher-ups blame him, he will not be able to bear this crime.
Looking at the empty warehouse, the old man frowned and said, "Hurry up and look for it! If you can't find it, ask other places to see if there is any, and send it here as soon as possible, so as not to delay the treatment."
"Yes." The steward responded quickly, watched the two of them walk out, then looked back, and finally left with them.
After they left, Feng Jiu quietly appeared in the space. Thinking of what they had just said, her eyes flickered slightly.
Unexpectedly, someone on this continent has also learned about their news, and is preparing to attack her. Is it to snatch the ancient golden lotus? Or is it to use her to become famous in all walks of life
Strength plummeted? Ha!
Could she just let others trample on her when her strength plummeted? If there really were people who didn't know how to live or die like that, she wouldn't mind using her hands and feet to let them know her methods!
A hint of coldness flashed across his cold eyes. He had not originally intended to take away all the treasures in this room, but now...
The corners of her pretty lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. Since they had set their sights on her, she would take what she wanted. She would just collect all the treasures in the room.
With a thought and a flick of her sleeves, all the treasures inside were collected into the space.
She quietly left the warehouse, but did not leave the auction house immediately. Instead, she concealed her breath and walked in the night. She came to a dark place and watched the two old men sitting and talking in the front hall. Not far away, a maid holding tea was coming towards this side. She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and quietly moved forward. While no one was paying attention, she took the tea from the maid's hand, covered her mouth with one hand, and dragged her into the dark.
Not long after, Fengjiu, who had changed into the maid's clothes, came out with tea. She gathered her hair with one hand, touched her face again, raised the corner of her mouth, and then walked forward in small steps.
In the hall, one of the old men said, "We just received news that the Lord will arrive in the second half of this evening. Let's prepare first, and when he arrives, we will take action and prevent them from escaping this town."
Feng Jiu, who was wearing maid's clothes, lowered her head and served tea to one of them. Then she picked up the tray and went to the other person and brought another cup of tea to the table.
As he was about to leave with the tray, the old man who had taken a sip of the tea took a look at it, then looked at the maid and asked, "Did you make this tea?"
"Yes." Fengjiu didn't even raise her head, but just bent her knees slightly to respond.
