After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 378 3 missing 1

The next day, Shen Xu was awakened by the noise from the outside world. He rubbed his groggy head and felt that something was wrong with what Guan Bi had given him yesterday, but he had indeed fallen asleep normally, just in a deep sleep.

Deep down, he was unwilling to believe that Guanbi would secretly drug him; otherwise, how would he eat in the future?

Pushing open the door, Shen Xu found that the sun was already high in the sky, and Ye Zhi had returned sometime earlier.

"It's one thing for you to play cards in front of my door, but to be so loud, could you please find another place?" Shen Xu said helplessly, looking at the four people playing mahjong.

“The entire Qingling Creek is my territory; there’s no such thing as your doorstep.” Bai Lu carefully discarded a Nine of Bamboo.

"The sun's already high in the sky, Shen Xu, and you still haven't gotten up to cultivate. We're just urging you on. *thump*" Ye Zhi laughed as she took Bai Lu's Nine of Bamboo from her hand, causing Bai Lu's expression to change instantly.

"Shen Xu, I want to discuss something with you." Li Xiaoyi wrote a blank whiteboard with a blank expression.

"Go on." Shen Xu could see Guan Bi's hand. Actually, Guan Bi could have won when Bai Lu played the Nine of Bamboo. It's just that Guan Bi is indeed worthy of the name, even when playing cards, he has to take care of Bai Lu.

"The lot number for the wood carving you took to auction has been released. It will be the grand finale of the first 'A' auction tomorrow."

"The first show, and the finale! That's not a good idea!" Shen Xu couldn't help but frown.

After all, the sooner the wood carving is sold, the easier it is for people to discover its flaws. Moreover, he felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to use an ordinary wood carving as the final auction item.

"This is the result of discussions between the Chamber of Commerce and the Sword Alliance's top leaders. The first auction of the first day needs an item that can cause a sensation and liven up the atmosphere of the entire auction."

"Would that wooden carving be alright?" Bai Lu asked with some doubt.

"The wooden carving isn't good enough yet, so Shen Xu, you need to have the Qiling White Crane circle around the auction venue a few times on the day of the auction."

As part of the appearance fee for the Praying White Crane, the Sword Alliance guarantees your wooden carving will sell for no less than a million Nourishing Yuan Pills.

After Li Xiaoyi finished speaking, he played a 90,000 card.

"Eat! I never thought your wood carving could actually sell for a million, Shen Xu. How many matches would I have to win to earn a million Nourishing Yuan Pills?" Bai Lu smiled and took the 90,000 yuan note.

"Don't even mention a million, I feel like you wouldn't be able to win a hundred Nourishing Yuan Pills from us, Sister Bai."

"Self-draw! Pure suit!" Ye Zhi slammed the tile in her hand onto the table, then pushed the tiles in front of her aside one by one in order, and finally said with a smile, "Shen Xu, I think your wood carving should also have a part in it, after all, I also contributed to your plan."

"Xiao Zhi, what kind of luck is this?" Bai Lu immediately stood up and craned her neck to try to find the flaws in Ye Zhi's hand, but in the end she could only silently accept the fact that she had lost.

Guan Bi's expression was rather unpleasant, and Shen Xu guessed that she must be regretting why she didn't win the hand earlier.

"Anyway, I won't get any money in the end. You should talk to Xiao Yi about your share and see how much she's willing to give you," Shen Xu said helplessly.

"I only used your wood carving to pay off my debt, don't act like I swallowed your Nourishing Essence Pill." Li Xiaoyi frowned as he looked at the set of cards in front of Ye Zhi. "I shouldn't have played that ninety thousand!"

“Then Xiaozhi, you get 10% too! You take 50%, and I’ll take 50%.” Shen Xu’s heart bled at the thought of losing half of his money out of thin air.

"Don't forget about the White Crane's share; it's the one that should get the largest share," Guan Bi couldn't help but remind her.

Amidst the clattering of mahjong tiles, Shen Xu's face couldn't help but show a bitter expression. "It has three, I have two. Remember to feed it well."

Unexpectedly, the man who orchestrated all of this ended up receiving only 200,000 yuan, and he couldn't even get his hands on it.

For him, 200,000 was just a number; it disappeared before he even saw it. He was destined to be poor.

"Don't worry, after I get the money, I'll take it to the warehouse in the Spirit Beast Garden. You can choose whatever you want to eat." Bai Lu had obviously already planned how to reward the Praying Spirit White Crane after the deed was done.

"I remember you were quite afraid of things being exposed before, so why are you so proactive now?"

"Now that the Sword Alliance is backing us, even if the buyer settles the matter later, it won't be on our side. Why should I be afraid of something that makes money so easily?"

"You don't want to take any risks at all."

"Is there anything I should be careful about? What level of performance would be appropriate?" Shen Xu asked Li Xiaoyi.

He admired Li Xiaoyi's mentality; after what she did to him yesterday, she could still talk to him like normal today.

"You are the mastermind behind this, so you probably don't need to ask me about these things. However, the Chamber of Commerce and the Sword Alliance are naturally demanding that the bigger the sensation, the better."

"Alright, I understand. I need to go out for a bit later. Who would like to give me a ride?" He was going to tell Lu Qingshan about his engagement to Wang Ya and see what Lu Qingshan planned to do.

Ye Zhi was about to speak when Li Xiaoyi interrupted her, "Your information is recorded in the Sky Shuttle, you can go out by yourself." After saying that, Li Xiaoyi threw the Sky Shuttle to her.

"I'm not very good at using it."

"At Tianjian Mountain, you tell Tianqiong where you want to go, and it will take you directly to the nearest place it can land."

“However, if you want to find Lu Qingshan, I suggest you go to Tianjian City. Tomorrow is the official start of the Four Directions Auction, and many Sword Alliance disciples have been sent out to maintain order in Tianjian City. I don’t think he will be an exception,” Guan Bi reminded her.

Li Xiaoyi glanced at Guan Bi with some surprise. It turned out that there were things about Shen Xu that Guan Bi knew but she didn't.

Unfortunately, she can't ask to go with Shen Xu right now, because if she does, the others will definitely follow.

Shen Xu would definitely refuse to let so many people follow him, which would be no different from the current outcome, and would also make Shen Xu dislike him, so it would be a loss.

"Alright, then I'll go to Heavenly Sword City to look for it! Bai Lu, do you want to come with me?"

"Huh? Me?" Bai Lu asked incredulously, and the others also looked at Shen Xu in shock.

"Didn't you say you'd take me with you next time you go out? You've already forgotten?"

"No, no, of course I'm going." Bai Lu smiled sweetly, the excellent hand she held instantly losing all its appeal to her.

"We're one short, it seems we can't continue!" Li Xiaoyi said with some regret.

"I think so too," Ye Zhi said casually, toying with the cards she had just drawn.

"In that case, Bai Lu, why don't you stay here and play cards with them?" Shen Xu also felt that it was inappropriate to bring only Bai Lu along.

"No! You promised me, how can you go back on your word!" Bai Lu said anxiously.

"Why don't we go together? We can also bring the card table up. My hand is pretty good, it would be a shame not to play now," Guan Bi suggested.

“Alright!” Li Xiaoyi replied.

"It seems this is the only way," Ye Zhi said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hey! Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?" Shen Xu mentally complained.
