On the commercial street, people came and went.
After Xu Bai got out of the car, he brought Su Meng into the bustling street.
Su Meng looked at Xu Bai suspiciously.
âMaster.â
âHmm?â
âAre you sure that the motorcycle thief is here?â
âYes.â
Xu Bai nodded. He looked at the pawnshop, which was already in his line of sight, and walked over.
Seeing this, Su Meng wanted to ask further, but upon seeing Xu Bai walking in front of her and entering the pawnshop, she quickly put away her thoughts and followed closely behind him.
In the pawnshop.
As soon as Su Meng came in, she heard a hearty laugh. She followed the sound and saw her master hugging an old man with a white beard who looked like odd.
âWait a minute.â
This white-bearded old manâŠ
He was a trascendent.
Su Meng blinked. đ»đđŠđŠđžđŠđŁđŻđđđŠđ.đžđđ
She was no longer an ordinary person. She had transcended mortality overnight. Now, she was a genuine Foundation Establishment Realm trascendent.
âGood lord, you really came. Do you really intend to take me as your master?â
âWhat?â
Zhu Congâs face fell, and even the enthusiasm on his face disappeared at a noticeable speed.
âAre you messing with me?â
Zhu Congâs expression gradually turned ugly as he stared at Xu Bai. To think that after that phone call, he had already bought six animals for Xu Bail s apprenticeship to prevent him from regretting his decision.
In the end..
He seemed to have slowed down again.
Zhu Congâs enthusiasm instantly disappeared. He turned around and walked straight into the house.
âSorry, I never cooperate with the police.â
âHavenât you already cooperated with them once?â
Hearing this, Xu Bai shook his head speechlessly. However, he didnât continue to pester Zhu Cong and instead said, âLetâs first get down to business, then weâll talk about me.â
He had originally planned to come to Zhu Congâs place after work this afternoon to discuss joining the Thief Sect.
After all, Bai had already considered this matter and made a decision.
Joining the Thief Sect was beneficial to the Cane Sect.
Zhu Cong stopped in his tracks when he heard Xu Baiâs words.
The next second.
He turned around.
He stared at Xu Bai.
âDo you really want to join our sect?â
âOf course.â
âOur Thief Sect doesnât have a good reputation.â
âMy reputation isnât great in some aspects either. Moreover, God Thief, if Iâm not from the Thief Sect, how can I be called God Thief?â
âHahaha.â
As soon as Xu Bai finished speaking.
Instantly.
Joy filled Zhu Congâs face once again. He laughed loudly and opened the door that he had locked from the inside. He walked out and looked Xu Bai up and down, as if he was admiring a rare treasure. âGood, good, our Thief Sect has hope of being revived.â
Su Meng, who was at the side, was stunned once again.
Su Meng looked at Zhu Cong, who was admiring Xu Bai while falling into a state of fantasy. She couldnât help but lower her head and count with her nimble fingers. Then, she looked up in disbelief at the joyful Zhu Cong. âI know who you are. You are the leader of the heretical path, the sect master of the Thief Sect, the amazing Zhu Cong.â
Zhu Cong, who had been fantasizing about Xu Bai being his disciple for many years and getting what he wanted, was imagining Xu Bai joining the Thief Sect and taking over his mantle, turning the Thief Sect from a heretical sect to an immortal sect. Hearing Su Mengâs words, he returned to his senses and looked at Su Meng, who had been brought along Xu Bai.
In an instant.
Su Meng felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Zhu Congâs gaze upon her. Just as she felt as if she had been seen naked, Xu Bai pulled her behind him.
Zhu Cong recovered from his shock. He stroked his white beard and looked at Su Meng, who was being protected by Xu Bai.
âFrom the Su family?â âSu Banchengâs niece.â
âNo wonder.â
Zhu Cong said and nodded. The next second, he changed the topic. âHowever, didnât your uncle tell you not to show off your Heavenly Secrets Technique in front of the disciples of the Steal Sect?â
Su Meng blinked and shook her head.
Zhu Cong chuckled, but his expression shifted slightly. âThatâs not right. The heavens are in chaos now. Can you stillâŠâ Before he could finish speaking.
A young girlâs voice sounded from outside.
âGrandpa, I completed the mission today ahead of time. I canâŠâ
Zhu Nianyan, who was wearing smokey makeup and leather pants, entered happily. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xu Bai in the shop and was stunned.
In the next second.
Zhu Nianyan thought of something and felt guilty. She turned around and walked out.
âWaitâŠâ
âCome here.â
âSighâŠâ
Xu Bai looked at Zhu Nianyan, who had already stepped out of the door. He raised his right hand and slowly clenched it.
Star Picking.
Instantly.
Zhu Nianyan felt a strong false pulling her from behind. Before she could react, she realized that her little head had been grabbed by her natural enemy.
âWhereâs the motorcycle?â
âWhat motorcycle?â
Zhu Nianyan responded without thought. Then, she reacted and hid behind Zhu Cong, asking for help,â Grandpa, he bullied me.â
Xu Bai smiled but didnât say anything.
Su Meng looked at Zhu Nianyan who was hiding behind Zhu Cong and reacted, âYouâre the one who stole my motorcycle.â This thought made Su Meng feel uneasy.
Her motorcycle.
She had only gotten it less than an hour ago, and before she could show it off, it turned out that the motorcycle had been stolen.
Most importantlyâŠ
It was stolen from the entrance of his own police station.
âGive me back my motorcycle.â
âI donât even know you.â
Zhu Nianyan looked at the angry Su Meng and shook her head like a snakeâs rattle. âWhat evidence do you have to say that I stole your motorcycle?â
âYou still wonât admit? I saw you.â Su Meng was furious. âI saw you on the River of Destiny. You were the one who beat up the five motorcycle thieves and drove my motorcycle away.â
It all happened very quickly.
What Su Meng saw in the River of Destiny was real.
Zhu Nianyan shrugged.
âWhat River of Destiny? I donât understand.â
âYou⊠Give me back my motorcycle.â âNo, I didnât steal your motorcycle.â
âJustâŠâ
âAlright.â
Xu Bai extended his hand to comfort Su Meng, who was about to rush forward. After comforting Su Meng, who was so angry that she was about to explode, he glanced at Zhu Nianyan. She was hiding behind Zhu Cong and sizing him up. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhu Cong. âIllicit wealth?â
Zhu Cong nodded.
Xu Bailu revealed a look of realization.
âWhat is the number?â
Zhu Cong turned his head and glanced at his granddaughter who was hiding behind him. He smiled. âThe ninth.â
âIsnât that enough?â
âJUSC a little more.
â⊠Alright then.â
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, but then he bust out into a fit of laughter. He shook his head and looked at Zhu Cong. âI just thought about it too.â
He recalled the conversation he had with Zhu Cong back then.
Xu Bai was curious as to why Zhu Cong would choose to steal, so he asked Zhu Cong about his motive.
At that time, Zhu Cong had told him that this was cultivation.
Xu Bai scoffed.
In Zhu Congâs words, Daoism emphasized doing good every day, while the Thief Sect emphasized stealing every day.
ButâŠ
This thief is not that thief.
Thieves have the heart of a beast hidden behind a human face, and they do evil. He who steals is full of evil; what he steals is illicit wealth.
Doism said that doing good deeds every day helped good people.
But this was a little kindness.
On the other hand, the Thief Sect emphazised robbing one person every day. This way, they could save ten, a hundred, or a thousand people.
It was a great kindness!
MoreoverâŠ
He could even steal their luck for his own use.
Of course.
Xu Bai hadnât taken it to heart at the time. After all, back then, no one had told
Xu Bai that this was a world where cultivation was possible. Although Zhu Cong had wanted to take Xu Bai as his disciple, due to certain rules, he hadnât been able to make it clear to Xu Bai.
Zhu Cong looked at his granddaughter.
âWhereâs the motorcycle?â
âI sold it.â
âHmm?â
âWhat?â
âYou sold my motorcycle?â Su Meng was left shocked again.
Zhu Nianyan looked at Su Meng angrily. âIâll say it again. I didnât steal your motorcycle. I just stole the thiefâs motorcycle.â
âThatâs still my motorcycle.â âIt has nothing to do with me.â
âYouâŠâ
âItâs done.â
Xu Bai interrupted and shook his head. He looked at Zhu Nianyan and said, âWho did you give it to? Old Xu who lives on 39th Street?â
Zhu Cong shook his head. âOld Xu retired five years ago, just like me. Now, his son, Little Xu, is in charge. Forget it, Iâll make the call.â
As he spoke.
Zhu Cong retrieved his phone and walked to the side as he made the call.
Su Meng looked at Zhu Nianyan angrily.
âThief.â
âHell.
âYou should thank me.â Zhu Nianyan crossed her arms.
Su Meng was so angry that she laughed. âWhat? Me? Thank you? Why?â
âIf it werenât for me,â Zhu Nianyan said, âyour motorcycle would have been taken out of Feng City by now. It would be in an illegal market in some city in the Federation.â
With that,
Zhu Nianyan, who was wearing smokey makeup, smiled brightly at Su Meng. âSo, once again, you should thank me. However, Iâm a very magnanimous person. It doesnât matter if you thank me.â
Su Meng gritted her teeth. âIs that so? Alright then. Iâll bring you back to the police station. I promise to thank you.â
Zhu Nianyan seemed fearless as she looked at Su Meng. âSure, if you donât mind your colleagues knowing that a police officerâs motorcycle was stolen from your doorstep. Anyway, I didnât steal your motorcycle.â
Su Meng was furious.
Xu Bai, who was standing at the side, had the urge to laugh when he heard the
conversation between the two women.
At this moment.
Zhu Cong walked over after the call. After hanging up, he looked at Xu Bai and said, âAlright, I told Old Xu that the motorcycle will be at the entrance of the
38th Branch in half an hour.â
Xu Bai nodded and thanked her. Then, he said to Su Meng, âLetâs go.â
âWait a minute.â Zhu Cong raised his eyebrows.
Xu Baitou didnât reply. âI know. The rules canât be broken. Iâll come back after work. Iâll talk to you later.â
With that.
Xu Bai dragged Su Meng, who was glaring at Zhu Nianyan, out of the pawnshop.
