Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 681 - 104 Finally Seeing Your True Colors

Normally, no matter how much you beat a rabbit, it won’t admit to being a bear.

After all, rabbits can’t speak human language.

But fortunately, what Wang Yunxiao captured is a person.

"Wow, even a yin yang master from the Cuojin Sect was captured by you, it looks like the sun really did rise from the west today. What’s wrong, sir, did you not check the almanac before you stepped out today?"

Old Master He smiled gently as he patted Leng Nian’s shoulder, his demeanor very kind.

Logically speaking, disciples of the Cuojin Sect are best at avoiding disasters, predicting in advance that today’s glabella is dark, signifying an omen of bloodshed, so they should just avoid it. As long as they don’t make mistakes, essentially no one can catch them in their weak spots.

The most important prerequisite is not making mistakes.

People who practice astrology traditionally suffer from five disadvantages and three deficiencies: either being poor, having no descendants, or having physical deficiencies, carrying some kind of defect.

On one hand, revealing the secrets of heaven can bring about misfortune, as karma comes full circle, and retribution is inescapable. By willingly enduring some hardships oneself, the heavens will not be too harsh on you.

On the other hand, it is also an exercise of personal character.

If you’re unwilling to endure even the slightest hardship, unwilling to face even the smallest guilt, always thinking about the good life.

Where in the world are there so many good things?

Things like the Imperial Jade Seal, is it something anyone can just snatch away?

A normal person wouldn’t entertain such naive and childish thoughts.

But when greed, hatred, and delusion cloud the Spirit Intelligence, one can hardly predict what they might end up doing.

As the saying goes, fortune and disaster enter through no gate, it is people who invite them in.

Leng Nian has already come to his senses, his facial features looking as if they’ve melted, gathering together in a way that’s nauseating to look at.

Long-term use of cosmetics can cause serious corrosion to the skin, let alone long-term use of spells that twist one’s features to deceive the heavens.

When nothing goes wrong everything seems fine, but once the strategy fails, backlash ensues.

Leng Nian tightly closed his eyes.

"I understand the rules, I shouldn’t look upon your faces. Today, I, your brother, have fallen here, purely due to my own folly, so I beg the head of the family to show mercy and leave me a way out. I will surely repay this kindness in the future!"

After waking up and discovering that he wasn’t wearing the Silver Bracelet but instead had silver needles inserted all over his body, he knew he hadn’t fallen into the hands of the Governmental Office; the enemy had used Jianghu World methods, using silver needles to strike his acupoints, saving his life in the process, but also sealing all his meridians.

The fact that they saved him meant that he still had value.

This involuntary gave rise to a glimmer of hope for survival.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t say anything. With Old Master He personally dealing with this matter, there was no need for him to worry any further.

His entire focus was shifted to the spoils of tonight’s battle.

No one expected the people from King Mu’s Mansion to show up, so when the Imperial Jade Seal was taken away, the auction couldn’t possibly continue.

Those concerned about the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal left their seats early, and even the young miss from the Shen Family disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only insignificant characters.

As for the remaining auction items, to be honest, there weren’t many valuable things, and even Old Master He couldn’t be bothered.

The Weimar Business Association clamored repeatedly about sponsoring a charity donation of one hundred thousand US Dollars, but Mister David just clapped his hands and walked away, not mentioning the matter again.

I shouted once, and a news report tomorrow would do, how could they really expect me to donate?

He did not bring cash, only a checkbook.

The Swallow Sect’s first family outing ended up being a fruitless endeavor, like fetching water with a bamboo basket.

In the end, the elder acted on the principle that a thief should never return empty-handed. He pilfered a set of fairly attractive jewelry as a consolation gift for First Ms. Liu and her daughter, to prevent any resentment from brewing in their hearts.

As for whether he and his eldest senior brother really did nothing... Wang Yunxiao was not present at the time and thus had no way of knowing. He wasn’t informed about the specific plan from the start.

By the time Wang Yunxiao returned, the event had mostly come to an end. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he also sneaked in and pocketed an item.

It was the ladies’ watch that Tang Moli had donated.

At that moment, Wang Yunxiao didn’t think too much about it. He just felt that since he had not been to school for a whole week, Eldest Miss Li might have some concerns, and bringing her a gift might cheer her up.

But upon reflection, it seemed a bit inappropriate. The origins of this item were shady. If it had been taken from someone else, it might have been fine, but the key point is that Tang Moli is still studying at the school.

What if one day she sees Eldest Miss Li wearing the watch and casually remarks that it’s the one lost at the auction? Wouldn’t Laozi’s reputation be ruined because of this?

Maybe it’s better to wait until the dust settles.

To tell the truth, this watch is not some limited-edition luxury item. For truly wealthy families, like the Tang siblings, it is just a trifle easily purchased and not necessarily cherished.

The fact that Wang Yunxiao can’t afford this watch is his own problem, not the watch’s.

After some time passes and he brings it out, simply saying that he bought it on the street, Tang Moli wouldn’t associate it with the auction even if she sees it. Besides... she is the donor, not the buyer. After leaving here today, how would she know if anything is missing from the Shen Family?

Members of the Shen Family aren’t exactly posting on social media.

Besides the watch, Wang Yunxiao has other spoils of war.

Two pieces of torn fabric.

One piece was ripped from the suit he was wearing, which was already torn and beyond saving.

But it was stained with a fair amount of silver-white substance.

Wang Yunxiao wasn’t sure what it was, and even Old Master He couldn’t make sense of it; it would require a professional appraisal.

The other piece of fabric was red.

When the Red-Clothed Woman Ghost used her disrobing skill, her red shroud slapped against his face and obscured his vision.

He felt the scent on the clothes was familiar at the moment, but in such a situation, it was difficult for the brain to calm down and think, so he just bit off a piece and held it in his mouth.

Surprisingly, the fabric was alive, thrashing about in his mouth for quite a while, almost knocking out his teeth.

In that moment, seeing someone with Li Mumu’s face, Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t hesitate to brandish a knife and strike.

But upon calming down and thinking it over afterward, was it really just a coincidence?

His face was made up at the time, and his identity was assumed falsely; the other party couldn’t possibly know who he was. What reason would there be to pretend to be Li Mumu just to confuse his mind?

Even if there is some Spell capable of producing such a magical effect.

But surely, they couldn’t have prepared the exact same brand of body wash in advance, right?

Li Mumu, have I underestimated you in the past?

Wang Yunxiao put the red fabric piece under his nose and drew a slow breath.

He immediately saw the subtle expression on He Lan’s face, like someone who is disgusted by a pervert but too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"I say, my lord... You’ve sniffed it six or seven times already."

"Make bold assumptions, but verify carefully. Being cautious is not a bad thing."

Wang Yunxiao maintained his composure and spoke with conviction.
