C845 An Unexpected Gain

Du Qi boasted shamelessly, "Right now, Baibi admires me to the point of prostrating himself in front of me. He will definitely listen to my every word! However, Baibi can only be my personal power. There is no need for him to join the Heaven Connecting Sect!"

Unexpectedly, Woo Kai did not oppose Du Qi's words. Instead, he said with relief, "Then you have to manage the White Cloud Mountain Manor well. Don't let others take advantage of you. Tong Chao, give me that thing!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Chao said with slight panic, "Reporting to the Venerable One, according to your arrangements and instructions, I have already obtained that treasure. However, I didn't expect that I would be targeted by many people in the martial arts world. In order to ensure the safety of that treasure, I had to wait for the grand monarch to come and get it. I had no choice but to set up a suspicious formation in order to draw away those people's attention. Who knew that I would accidentally fall into someone else's trap?"

Woo Kai coldly snorted, "So you have lost that thing?"

Seeing Woo Kai's dissatisfaction, Tong Chao broke out in a cold sweat. He said in a trembling voice, "I had good intentions, but I didn't expect that I would make a mistake. Venerable One, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake."

Woo Kai suddenly flicked his sleeves and said in a stern voice, "No matter what, as long as you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished. If you lose something so important, you deserve to be punished. Men!"

Hearing Woo Kai's words, Tong Chao hurriedly turned over and kneeled on the ground, begging, "I admit my mistake. I beg you to spare me, Venerable One, please spare me, please spare me..."

As soon as Woo Kai finished his words, four young and strong men rushed in from outside the door. They looked at Woo Kai, Du Qi, and Tong Chao in surprise and bewilderment. There was a look of pity and pity on their faces, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Although Woo Kai and Tong Chao did not say what they had lost, Du Qi had already known about it. When he disguised himself as Hong Lingyue and stayed at the inn in the small town with the Mei brothers, that thing was forcefully stuffed into his arms by a thief. At that moment, it was in his storage ring.

Du Qi originally did not want to be meddlesome, but in order to win the hearts of people and prepare for future use, he did not wait for Woo Kai to give the order and asked first, "What is it that makes Boss so angry?"

Woo Kai frowned and said, "This item is extremely precious and is of great importance. It cannot be divulged to outsiders. I will tell you later. At this time, dealing with this servant is more important!"

Du Qi said, "Since this item is so important, it would be a pity to lose it. Why not let Tong Chao take credit for his crimes and find a way to get it back. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Woo Kai pondered and said, "Did you hear what the second envoy said? Why don't you get up quickly? The four of you go out first!"

The four young men gave Du Qi a grateful glance. After they apologized to Woo Kai and Du Qi, they carefully stepped out of the door. Tong Chao was even more grateful as he repeatedly kowtowed to Woo Kai and Du Qi to express his gratitude.

Woo Kai seemed to be a little impatient as he said, "Alright, alright. Tell me what the situation is."

Tong Chao hurriedly told them about the night when he met the thief. During that time, there were naturally many things that were not true. However, there were no loopholes. He thought that Tong Chao had been worried about today's situation for a long time. After making up the words, it did not cause Woo Kai to be suspicious. Du Qi would not be stupid enough to expose Tong Chao's tricks.

After Tong Chao finished talking about that night, he continued, "After that, I sent all my forces to investigate the whereabouts of those four thieves, but I got nothing. I just happened to hear that those four thieves were from the Cock Cult, and they were killed by them. Due to the strength of the Cock Cult, I can't afford to offend them. He was also worried that this would cause unnecessary trouble for the Heaven Connecting Sect, so his subordinate did not come to find him. This is an act that can't be helped. I hope that the Venerable One and the two Venerable Ones can understand my difficulties. "

Woo Kai said, "Cock Cult, you really can't afford to offend me. I'll go and take a look myself. Wu Qi, you can either stay here or deal with your own matters. As long as you remember the deadline of one month, it's fine! Tong Chao, continue with the matters that I entrusted you with last time. There must be no mistakes. Next time, I'll investigate." After saying that, Woo Kai left alone.

When he was with Woo Kai, Du Qi always felt depressed. He realized that Woo Kai had finally left. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Tong Chao and leave, Tong Chao said with gratitude, "Thank you, the two Venerable Ones, for not caring about the grudges between us and plead for me. This subordinate's life was saved by the two Venerable Ones. From now on, Tong Chao will not refuse the orders of the two of you! "

Du Qi said, "Elder Tong, you don't have to remember what you said in your heart. This matter has already been resolved. I'll take my leave too."

Tong Chao hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, two Venerable Ones. This subordinate still has some matters to report to you!"

Du Qi said in surprise, " Oh? Elder Tong, please speak!"

Tong Chao hurriedly smiled apologetically and said," May the two of you follow me. " After saying that, Tong Chao carefully led the way in front and led Du Qi through the back door of the main hall into the underground secret room of the second courtyard.

The secret room was not big. It was about two meters long and about three meters wide. It was Tong Chao's secret treasure room. There were thirty to forty boxes neatly placed on two sides of the wall. There was a weapon rack in the innermost part of the room, and there were a few swords and other weapons placed horizontally.

Tong Chao took out a long sword from the weapon rack and respectfully handed it to Du Qi. At the same time, he said gratefully, "This subordinate cannot repay the kindness of the two Venerable Ones for saving my life. I will now offer this sword to the two Venerable Ones. I hope that the two Venerable Ones will not refuse it."

Seeing Tong Chao's mysterious look, Du Qi thought that Tong Chao had some unknown secrets to tell him. Who knew that Tong Chao would bring him into the secret chamber just to give him a sword?

Du Qi had a lot of treasured swords and sabers. He didn't care about ordinary treasured swords and sabers at all. He originally didn't want to accept Tong Chao's sword, but his eyes suddenly became serious as he stared at the sword in Tong Chao's hand. He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and took the sword calmly. When the sword was in his hand, Du Qi had a different feeling. He could not help but praise, "Good sword!"

Tong Chao smiled and said, "You have good taste! This sword is an ancient divine weapon. It is suitable for you to use!"

Du Qi said, "Since Elder Tong has such intentions, it would be impolite for me to decline."

Joy flashed across Tong Chao's face for a moment before he said hesitantly, "This subordinate still has a matter that I don't know if I should say or not?"

Du Qi said, "In front of me, Elder Tong can speak frankly if you have something to say. Don't worry about it."

Tong Chao said cautiously, "This sword is the treasure of twelve families. It was originally something that the Great Venerable ordered this subordinate to collect, so I invite the two of you..."

Seeing Tong Chao's hesitant look, Du Qi knew what he meant. He said indifferently, "Don't worry, Elder Tong. I won't tell anyone about this. It's just that Elder Tong gave this sword to me. How are you going to report this to the Great Venerable?"

Tong Chao seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The treasures of twelve families can only be found by chance. The grand monarch was well aware of his feelings, so he ordered his subordinate to gather the treasures of the twelve families. There's no time limit, he said. I got this sword by accident. No one else knew about it, so he asked the two grand monarchs not to worry about his subordinates. If you can speak nicely for me in front of the Venerable One, I will be very grateful! "
