Miracle Hands Pawnshop.
Xu Bai had just put away the female thief's purse and arrived at his destination.
He stepped into the shop.
He walked around the screen and looked around. Then, his gaze landed on the high platform separated by a high iron fence inside. There was also an old man who seemed to be sleeping behind the high platform.
The corners of Xu Bail s mouth curled up. He walked over and knocked on the high platform with his right hand. “Knock, knock.”
The old man sleeping behind the high platform did not even raise his head. He only extended his right hand. “Just bring it over as an object. If it's expensive calligraphy and painting, provide an invoice. We won't accept anything of
unknown origin.”
Good God.
If someone else had an invoice, who would come to pawn it?
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice.
“What can the position of the sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect be pawned for?”
When the old fellow behind the platform heard this, he sat up with a whoosh. His sharp and shining eyes instantly landed on Xu Bai.
The next second.
Zhu Cong, who claimed to be the 53rd Sect Master of the Empty Hands Sect, saw Xu Bai standing outside the platform clearly. He instantly retracted his sharp eyes and revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
“Good kid, have you thought about coming back to inherit our sect master's position?”
“I'm sorry, no.”
Xu Bai said no with a smile.
He was a man of principle. Moreover, he was now a law enforcement officer. It would not be appropriate for him to be a thief leader in his current position, no matter how one looked at it.
When Zhu Cong heard this, the warm smile on his face instantly disappeared. He sat down expressionlessly. “Agent Xu, our pawnshop is a serious business. Moreover, this isn't under the jurisdiction of the 38th Precinct, right?”
Xu Bai did not say anything. He just looked at the top of Zhu Cong's head thoughtfully.
[Name: Zhu Cong]
[Title: “Miracle Hands Empty Sect Master (Deterrence to professionals in the industry +20, reputation in the industry +100)” ]
[Sect: Miracle Hands Sect]
[Level: 32]
[Realm: Early-stage Foundation Establishment (for reference only)]
[Familiarity: 580 (Best Friend)]
[Note: If you have a good relationship with an NPC, there is a certain chance of obtaining a gift by communicating with them.]
“Hiss!”
Xu Bai looked over with a surprised expression. “Old man, you're indeed the sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect.”
He remembered that when he was young, he followed this old fellow and served justice. The old fellow did not have any level back then. Just like the group of ordinary people outside now, his status bar looked quite ordinary.
How many of them were there already?
Xu Bai thought to himself.
Team Leader Zhou.
Coupled with the old man in front of him.
Three.
Xu Bai was now completely certain that this was not a problem of whether he had seen it wrongly before. This was a problem with the system.
The system had blocked him before he reached Level 10.
Now that he had received the main character and his Level had increased, the system removed the restrictions and screening.
so…
I came into contact with people from the transcendent world when I was young.
Xu Bai l s thoughts raced as he began to consider how many transcendent people he had come into contact with over the years.
When Zhu Cong heard Xu Bail s slightly surprised voice, he snorted and glared at Xu Bai angrily.
He was a dignified sect master. Countless people begged him to join his sect, but he didn't agree. More than ten years ago, in order to cultivate, he came to Feng City to travel and accidentally met Xu Bai, who was only six years old at that time.
Initially, he didn't want to bother Xu Bai, who had looked so friendly at that time, and asked him if he needed help.
But..
After Zhu Cong glanced at Xu Bai, he couldn't look away.
There was no other reason.
This was the first time Zhu Cong had discovered such a strong foundation and Vitality in a six-year-old boy.
Moreover, his comprehension ability was extremely high.
He had only demonstrated the small trick of “Paperclip Lockpicking” in front of Xu Bai once. In the end, when the next mission came, Xu Bai could use it skillfully.
At that time, Zhu Cong instantly cherished Xu Bai and wanted to take him in as his disciple, although it would be troublesome if the Heavenly Sword Bureau found out about this.
However, Zhu Cong really did not want to give up such a good seedling.
In the end…
He had been slapped in the face.
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Bai interrupted him. He said that even if he could not find a job in his life, he would not change his main profession to a thief.
At that time, Zhu Cong was furious.
In Xu Bail s eyes, although he had a loyal image, was he still a thief?
“I am the next sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect, the ninth side branch of the 53rd generation of immortal cultivation.
What thief?
“I'm an immortal cultivator.”
At that time, Zhu Cong wished he could grab Xu Bai l s shoulder and roar out his identity to him.
But…
He was afraid that the Heavenly Sword Bureau, which was said to be omnipresent, would find trouble with him. He held it in and did not dare to say it.
If Homeland Security found out and he took the initiative to expose his identity as a transcendent to an ordinary person, he would find a connection and receive a fine.
However, if he was unlucky and was discovered by the Heavenly Sword Bureau, it would not be easy to send them away.
Therefore, at that time, Zhu Cong could only resist the urge to show his divinity in the world. He brought along Xu Bai, who seemed to like this line of work very much and chased after him every day to ask him which bad guy's house he was going to help today. While maintaining a righteous image, he tried to get Xu Bai to agree to join his sect.
Zhu Cong swore that if Xu Bai nodded at this moment, he would show his divinity in front of everyone and tell Xu Bai that he was not a thief.
In the end, Zhu Cong waited for a day. From the time Xu Bai was six years old until he was 15 years old, he did not see him.
He was numb and had given up.
Coincidentally, Xu Bai was going to university at that time, and he was going back to carry out his sect master replacement ceremony. Therefore, he could only sigh and part ways.
Later on, when Zhu Cong returned to Feng City and found out that Xu Bai had been admitted to the police academy, in order not to delay Xu Bail s bright future, he simply said that he had retired and bought his current shop to open his current pawn shop.
Right now?
Only now do you believe that I'm really the sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect?
I'm sorry.
We are not meant to be together.
Zhu Cong, who had lost his temper, snorted a few more times. He opened the door and let Xu Bai in. When he saw Xu Bai walk in, he was about to speak when his gaze suddenly landed on Xu Bai.
The next second.
Zhu Cong's expression changed. He grabbed Xu Bai's right arm and held it.
“Why did you lose so much Vitality all of a sudden? What happened?”
Xu Bai was slightly stunned. Then, he remembered that the level he showed to the public was still Level 7.
However, it was too late to change it now.
And it was very risky.
Xu Bai came back to his senses and waved his hand. He looked at Zhu Cong and said casually, “It's nothing. I burned my Vitality and chopped up four Martial Apprentice-level criminals. It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after resting for a few days.”
Zhu Cong didn't wait for Xu Bai to finish speaking. When he heard that he was burning his Vitality, his eyebrows almost flew up. “You're already burning your Vitality. What's there to be fine about? Just wait.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Cong hurriedly turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the shop.
Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong's anxious back and opened his mouth. He thought for a moment and silently raised his external level.
At this moment.
A familiar voice came from outside.
“Grandpa, bad news. My wallet was stolen…”
Accompanied by the voice, a woman rushed in. She had a ponytail and was wearing sportswear. She looked very youthful and energetic.
It was the woman who bumped into Xu Bai and took his wallet. Xu Bai turned his head to look at the woman who had rushed in.
[Name: Zhu Nianyan]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: 20]
[Realm: Fifth level of Dao foundation (Level Five Martial Apprentice, for reference only)]
[Affinity: -10 (There's a gap in the heart)]
Realizing that her wallet had been stolen in her territory, she thought about it and finally locked onto the handsome man she had just met. Zhu Nianyan, who had run over in a hurry to ask her grandfather for help, looked at Xu Bai, who had turned around to look at her in her shop. She was stunned for a moment before raising her eyebrows. “It's you. Where's my wallet?”
Xu Bai l s lips curled up slightly.
“What about my wallet?”
Zhu Nianyan raised her eyebrows. “What wallet? I don't know.”
When Xu Bai heard this answer, he sat on the sofa and could not help but rub his chin. He looked at Zhu Nianyan curiously. “Did you open it to take a look at my identification?
Zhu Nianyan sneered.
“I don't know anything about your wall
“You'd better take a look.”
Xu Bai interrupted with a smile.
Zhu Nianyan looked at the teasing smile on Xu Bail s face and frowned. After a moment of silence, she turned around and walked out of the door.
Ten seconds later.
Zhu Nianyan lost all her aura. She grabbed Xu Bail s wallet and walked in again. She looked at Xu Bai, who was sitting on the sofa. “Can you give me a chance to explain, Mr. Agent?”
She was really unlucky.
She had just learned the Flying Dragon Cloud Searching Hands that her grandfather had taught her the day before yesterday. Her hands were itchy, so she wanted to go out and practice. Then, she placed it in the lost and found area of the mall.
In the end…
You're an agent from the 38th Precinct. Why aren't you in your own jurisdiction? What are you doing here?
Zhu Nianyan was speechless. After all, she knew all the agents in her district. After all, in her line of work, the most taboo thing was to interact with law enforcement agencies.
When Xu Bai heard Zhu Nianyan's words, he laughed. “Alright, I'll give you a chance to explain.”
Zhu Nianyan's eyes lit up and she quickly looked at Xu Bai. “Mr. Agent, I was just playing. I didn't think of stealing. I'll put it in the lost and found area later.”
Xu Bai was speechless..
