Chapter 34: Thieves and friends deceive people
Oops, I forgot the time!
Sunny felt a little panicked, but the worst-case scenario would be to fly out like a bird...
Forget it, it's best to keep today's "complete transformation". You have to go back to Morton Manor in the afternoon. If someone from the Chosen Group is secretly watching near the manor, it will easily arouse suspicion.
Last time they were able to ambush on the road, they must have surveillance methods, so they had to be more cautious.
I quickly looked around the house and found that a window was open.
As luck would have it, an adult might not be able to fit through this window, but it would be fine for a skinny child. It's just that you can't use extreme flash. If you use it, you'll get hit...
Sunny stepped on the table, climbed up the window gently, and took a look. Behind the database was a relatively remote corner.
First she stepped out with one foot, then the other. Unexpectedly, the window frame was old, and a wooden thorn scratched her ankle, slightly opening it, but she was too nervous to notice.
After she got out of the window, she hung on the window edge and controlled her spiritual power to use the wind energy to blow away the ashes on the table.
With a click, he lightly jumped to the ground. Sunny looked around, determined the direction, and returned slowly and carefully.
When we get to a crowded place, we really have no choice. I was worried about how to get there, and found that a group of people gathered around were hurriedly walking out...
What happened? No matter what, I had to seize this opportunity and dodge continuously. Sunny finally returned to the vicinity of the Holy Lady Temple.
As soon as she appeared, she was spotted by a middle-aged mason who came out to look for her.
"Where have you been? Everyone is looking for you. The break time has already passed. What's going on!"
Qing Tian pulled up his hat and said sheepishly: "My stomach hurts, so I looked for the bathroom for a long time.
The mason was speechless and kicked her angrily: "Little bastard, leave quickly, don't hurt everyone!"
Qingtian held her butt aggrievedly and asked, "What happened? I think the priests are quite panicked."
The mason looked around, approached her and whispered, "Something big happened. They said they just discovered that the temple's supply warehouse had been stolen!"
K? What a coincidence, I just stole some information, and I don't know which friend of mine is brave enough to visit the God's Chosen Group's material warehouse.
"What was stolen?"
"Rumors say that the supply warehouse has been emptied!"
Tsk tsk, emptied? What a grand gesture! This is the headquarters of the Chosen Group!
Qingtian was envious. If she had the chance, she would also want to empty the supply warehouse!
Then I thought, Oops, such a big matter, I must be questioned! The thieves are cheating!
Sure enough, as soon as the two stepped into the Holy Lady's Temple, they saw all the stonemasons and sculptors and painters standing in three rows, and many priests gathered in the middle of the temple.
"What's going on with you? Where have you been!" a priest scolded.
The mason hurriedly pulled Sunny to bow 180 degrees, "The child is ignorant and has diarrhea!"
The priest frowned, "Is it the one you were looking for just now?"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, sir, for causing trouble to everyone!" The mason was very humble.
Qingtian also immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, sir."
The priest saw that she was a small child and sighed, "Stand in the team and prepare your work cards."
The mason breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Qingtian, held her hand, and stood in the back row, "Be honest, listen to me later, and don't talk nonsense."
Qingtian nodded, he must be honest.
Within a minute, several more people came in.
"After checking, it should have been stolen last night. The internal monitoring array of the storage warehouse flashed briefly at the same time, and the people on night duty said they didn't notice anything unusual at all."
Upon hearing the news, the gathered priests began to discuss it one by one.
"There is no doubt that he is a high-level cultivator."
"Have you notified the Elders? Where is the saint?"
"The saint is going to the palace today to attend a palace banquet. Let the elders handle it."
"What a big joke. Such a big thing has never happened in so many years!"
"If it was last night, then the group of people who came this morning are not very suspicious."
"To be on the safe side, let's check first."
Qingtian had a good ear and listened to everything they said, and felt a little at ease.
Soon, several priests began to check everyone's work cards and inquire about their relationship.
"You are so young and you come to work?" The priest picked up Qingtian's sign and looked at her.
The middle-aged stonemason next to him smiled and answered, "My friend's child is poor. I want to make a living for him."
Qingtian pretended to be scared and timid, and nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that the child was dirty and thin, the priest snorted, returned the sign to her, and asked for the next one.
Huh - let out a breath and consider it a smooth pass. I just don’t know how long I’ll stay there, but counting the time, it’s almost lunch time.
Thinking of this sunny day, he turned around and asked the middle-aged mason gently: "Uncle, can we still have lunch today? I want to bring some food to my family."
When the mason heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This child is really big-hearted, "You are still thinking about food at this time! You are really promising."
Qingtian pouted, wondering how to get out.
I don’t know how long this matter will be investigated. Do I really have to spend a whole day here...
It wouldn't be good if he ran away suddenly. He might implicate these masons, which would be difficult to deal with.
After waiting for a while, the people in the Saint Lady's Hall had finished interrogating, and the numbers were all right.
The priests also knew that such a big thing must be done by powerful practitioners, and there was no point in embarrassing these workers.
"Let the apse prepare the food. They should do whatever they want after eating."
My eyes are brighter on a sunny day, which is good, just "business as usual".
When receiving the meal, the middle-aged mason took an extra portion. The woman in charge of the meal knew him, looked at the child behind him, and pretended not to know.
After sitting on the floor, the mason wrapped rice in paper and stuffed it for Qingtian, "Let's take it back later. I was very serious about my work this morning. If you want to continue working in the future, go to the 'Exquisite' Stone Carving Factory to find me, Lao Shitou."
Qingtian slowly took the meal and looked up at the man deeply, "Thank you."
The mason patted her on the shoulder, picked up his rice and started to eat it. He was really hungry after a whole morning of hard work.
Qingtian was full after eating half of the meal, so he wrapped the remaining rice and put the two boxes together.
At this time, the craftsmen in the square outside the temple were also questioned, but no suspects were found.
In addition, at the outermost edge of the square, the Chosen Group has set up a checkpoint, and everyone must be checked in and out.
Not long after the work started in the afternoon, the middle-aged stonemason gave Qingtian a copper coin and asked the craftsmen who returned to the stone carving factory to take Qingtian away with him.
After all, he is a child who joined temporarily in the morning. Today's matter is too complicated. If you can go back early, you should go back.
She bowed slightly to the mason, making the man a little embarrassed, "Let's go quickly, remember, come to me if you want to do some work."
"Ok."
Qingtian picked up his things, got on the carriage of the other two craftsmen, and headed out.
When they arrived at the checkpoint, the three of them got out of the car. All items, whether on a carriage or on a person, must be checked.
There were two elders sitting behind the examination table. A young man with black hair was holding a novel and reading it. An older man was drinking tea. There were about twenty guards around him.
The guards searched every corner of the carriage and used a specialized small psychic device to test every item.
"Report to the elder, everything is normal, there is no space to store equipment."
The older elder pointed at Qingtian and the other three, "Be careful."
Qingtian took a look at the psychic device and thought, fortunately, his destiny bracelet has been converted into a storage space, so it should be fine.
The guard first tested the two craftsmen and found nothing unusual.
Then she started to measure the sunny weather. Unexpectedly, the small device beeped as soon as it approached her!
