Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Highly Suspicious
The two were unaware that they had already caught the attention of a gang of thieves near Panjiayuan; such plump sheep they were, and without bodyguards—what a wasted opportunity if they didn’t dig in!
The Six Fingers Sect was a thieves’ organization near Panjiayuan in the Capital City. Liu Ba had road Panjiayuan for an entire day to no avail, but he wasn’t the least bit discouraged because he had spotted a fat sheep!
Liu Ba hurriedly reported the situation with Qin Yu to his superiors. Upon hearing that Qin Yu had at least several hundred thousand US dollars on him, the Sect Leader of the Six Fingers Sect imdiately declared that he would take action personally!
The Sect Leader of the Six Fingers Sect, known as Six-fingered Hu, was rumored to have six fingers on each hand and possessed incredibly adept thieving skills, having once stolen treasures from a master of the Heavenly Human Realm!
The Panjiayuan market was bustling at four in the afternoon, with a chubby middle-aged man quarreling with a stall owner near the entrance.
“What? Has Panjiayuan started to force trades now? I genuinely don’t have that much money on . Can’t I just not buy it?”
“You damaged my treasure, and you think you can just say ‘no’ and get away with it? You must compensate !”
“This broken bracelet already had a nick in it. How is this any of my concern? Don’t try to swindle people, okay?”
“Folks, please judge who is in the right here. This man broke my bracelet and is refusing to take responsibility!”
People from the Dragon Country generally enjoyed watching a commotion. Many surrounded the area to watch the two argue.
By the ti Qin Yu and Mo Yuqi arrived, the entrance to the Panjiayuan market was already completely blocked by the crowd.
Logically, quarrels in a place like Panjiayuan were common and shouldn’t have aroused Qin Yu’s interest.
Yet, a faint, almost imperceptible, smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yu’s mouth. Interesting!
“Boss, it’s too crowded here. Let’s go to another exit,” said Mo Yuqi, frowning at the sight of the dense crowd, as she had no desire to squeeze among these slly n.
“Qiqi, don’t you find it fun? Let’s go over and listen to what they’re quarreling about,” he suggested.
Mo Yuqi grimaced and nodded reluctantly, casting an exasperated glance at Qin Yu. She hadn’t expected Qin Yu to have a penchant for gossip!
Why was Qin Yu so interested? Because he could tell at a glance that the quarrel was staged; the heartbeat and breathing of both parties were steady.
That ant they weren’t genuinely quarreling—they were putting on an act!
Why would they be staging a quarrel? Why were they drawing so many people over here?
Qin Yu ticulously observed the crowd and soon identified several suspicious characters!
These old n jostled about within the crowd, seemingly trying to squeeze into the inner circle, yet despite all their shoving, they never quite made it inside.
If they were ordinary folks, their inability to penetrate the inner circle would be no surprise. But these were not re pedestrians; each was a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm!
Martial Artists from the Inner Qi Realm unable to make their way through the crowd—wasn’t that highly suspicious?
When had Mo Yuqi ever been in such a packed throng of people? Surrounded by all sorts of slls, she frowned in obvious discomfort.
Noticing Mo Yuqi’s unease, Qin Yu quickly grabbed her, protectively enfolding her in his arms.
Just then, a frail old man shuffled over, trembling. This old man seed so weak that he was knocked around by the crowd, uncontrollably veering towards Qin Yu.
The approach of the old man instantly snapped Qin Yu back to attention, as he sensed a vague and enigmatic aura emanating from the man.
