C1 Treasure stealing captured

Xichen City, within the Third Marquis' Mansion.

The moonlight was dim, the night breeze cool, and the air was suffused with a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

On a large tree at the back of the Third Marquis' Estate, a beautiful figure hid behind a leaf and looked at the warehouse not too far away. Her crafty eyes could not conceal the excitement in them.

Today was the day of the wedding between the Third Marquis, Chu Mubai, and the princess of the Southern Kingdom, An Yue. The Southern Kingdom had sent over many wedding treasures and they were currently placed in the warehouse.

As she hid behind a tree, Ling Qingyi could not help but get excited as she thought about the precious treasure of the Southern Kingdom, the Rainbow Glass Lamp, just a few feet away. She took advantage of the gap between the patrolling guards to quickly approach the storehouse.

Looking at the lock on the door, Ling Qingyi lightly fiddled with the silver needles in her sleeves for a bit before immediately opening it. After entering the warehouse, she took out a Night Pearl from her bosom to light up. When she saw the things on the shelves, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Is the Southern Kingdom really that rich? Isn't this wedding too much of a treasure!" Seeing that it was too late to organize, Ling Qingyi quickly swallowed her saliva as she saw the treasures on the shelves, as well as dozens of large boxes of Golden Silk Sauna Wood.

Looking at those treasures, and thinking back that she was still the second largest disciple of the Thief God Sect, the treasures she had saved after traveling in the martial arts world for so many years were actually not even comparable to the one she had with Ling Qingyi.

"Seems like reincarnation is really a technical job!" Ling Qingyi wiped the tears that did not exist at the corner of her eyes and quickly began to search for the Rainbow Glass.

She went straight to the box in front of her. After she opened it, the room immediately became much brighter. Inside were boxes of Night Pearls of all sizes.

Looking at the Luminous Pearl in her hand and comparing it with the one in the chest, Ling Qingyi took a deep breath and threw the pearl out disdainfully. Then, she took out the biggest pearl from the chest.

As the Night Pearl fell to the ground, it produced a rumbling sound. Ling Qingyi's heart tightened as she thought that she had been too careless. But it was too late. The guard's voice came from outside the door.

"Who's inside?"

With a stiffened face, he stuffed the Night Pearl into his bosom. However, before he could hide, the door to the warehouse was suddenly pushed open. The light of the lantern instantly illuminated the entire room.

This... So fast...

Ling Qingyi's movements instantly froze. She did not expect that the guard from the Prince's Mansion would be so quick.

"Who are you? How dare you intrude into the Third Marquis' Mansion's storeroom!" A guard reprimanded him coldly.

"I, am just … "Haha, I'm just passing by …" Ling Qingyi revealed an embarrassed smile. Because she was too confident in her skills, she didn't even wear a set of night clothes, let alone cover her face. If she were caught, if word of this got out, wouldn't she lose all her face …

Fortunately, there were only two people who came. Just when Ling Qingyi was considering whether she should make a move, she heard an inquiry from behind her: "What happened?"

"Butler Li, this woman suddenly appeared in the warehouse. I wonder who she is!" Upon seeing who it was, the guard hurriedly spoke up.

Housekeeper Li's hair was white, there were a few bodyguards with serious expressions behind him, they looked at Ling Qingyi in confusion.

It's over! Ling Qingyi called out in her heart.

"May I ask if it's esteemed wangfei?"

"Wang-wangfei?" Ling Qingyi swallowed her saliva, and was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before nodding his head reflexively.

"It really is the princess consort. That's great." Butler Li's face lit up. "Esteemed wangfei, why did you come here? Everyone's looking for you!"

When the guard heard, he hastened to kneel down. "Your subordinate greets esteemed wangfei. May esteemed wangfei forgive any misunderstandings."

Didn't he say so? How could anyone have the guts to come to the Third Marquis' Mansion and steal? Wasn't he tired of living?!

"No, no need to be polite!" Ling Qingyi coughed and cleared her throat, "This Concubine just came out to take a walk."

Although she didn't know what was going on, she still needed to seize this opportunity to quickly escape.

Looking at Butler Li again, Ling Qingyi continued: "All of you go down first, this wangfei will be back in a while."

"Princess, the prince has come. He's waiting for you at the Clear Moon Restaurant. Please follow me there quickly!" Butler Li quickly said.

Ling Qingyi's face stiffened, "About that, you guys go first. This wangfei will be here soon."

"Reporting to the wangfei, the prince is waiting for you, it's best if you don't delay." Seeing Ling Qingyi's hesitation, Housekeeper Li's heart suddenly tensed up. With esteemed wangfei's current state, she couldn't really be trying to run away, right …

"This wangfei is prepared to give prince a pleasant surprise, so all of you go first. This wangfei will come right away." Ling Qingyi's black eyes darted around quickly. She wasn't some wangfei. If she went with them, she would only be helping them out. The most important thing was to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

"I wonder what surprises wangfei has prepared for This King?"

A cold and proud voice sounded out, like a clanging zither that sounded from the cold moon, causing one's heart to involuntarily tremble.

She had always felt that although her Senior Brother Feng Luodi's character was a little bad, his outer appearance was already extremely good. However, when she saw the person in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little foolish.

It was clearly an extremely cold face, yet it exuded a devilish charm that was both a god and a demoness. The black robe and wide sleeves came striding forward. Every gesture, every action, and every face was filled with charm …

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Butler Li and the guards quickly knelt down to salute him.

"Get up." Chu Mu Han casually swept a glance at them before shifting his gaze back to Ling Qingyi. The corner of his mouth curled up into an unknown smile, "This prince's consort, the princess of the Southern Kingdom, An Yue?"

His heart suddenly trembled. Ling Qingyi recovered from her shock and quickly realized the situation she was in.

He is the Third Marquis, Chu Mu Han? Judging from his tone, it seemed as if he hadn't met An Yue. Thinking up to here, Ling Qingyi summoned up her courage and answered: "I, no …" This Concubine, will not … This concubine pays her respects to Your Highness! "

Stuttering, Ling Qingyi was so upset that she almost bit off her tongue.

Her deep eyes seemed to have a hint of a smile in them, but it also seemed to be cold. Chu Mu Han sized up the person in front of him. His charming face could indeed be considered a beauty, but it couldn't be considered a peerless beauty. However, his eyes were brimming with splendor, causing others to stare blankly.

Wherever he went, a group of guards respectfully gave way to him. "Are you really Princess Yue Tan?"

"Of, of course!" Ling Qingyi gave a stiff smile. It didn't matter, she had to pretend to get away first.

"Oh, so it's like that …" Chu Mu Han raised his brows, his eyes filled with interest as he said, "Someone, since the wangfei has found her, why don't you announce her personal servant to accompany you?"
