Zhenbao Villa is located in the outer suburbs of Beijing.
Although this place is in a desolate place, it does not seem deserted at all. Especially at the end of every month, the number of people coming and going is probably no less lively than in the capital.
Because there will be a treasure auction here at the end of every month, bringing together rare treasures from the entire martial arts world. Martial arts people who have treasures to sell and want to buy any treasures will come here to gather.
It is still the beginning of the month, and there is still some time before the next treasure auction, but there are still some martial arts people with urgent needs who will visit the Treasure Villa. They will be invited to the secret room of Treasure Villa to leave what they want and must leave.
The person who was invited into the secret room at this time was a masked man in black with two subordinates.
"What is the name of this distinguished guest?" the steward of Zhenbao Villa asked enthusiastically.
The masked man in black did not speak, but one of his men said: "Let your village master come out, how can my master be entertained by you?"
The steward was about to say something, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the sharp gaze of the masked man in black. He trembled all over and hurriedly followed the instructions to invite their village owner.
The current owner of Zhenbao Villa is Qi Yunshu.
After a while, Qi Yunshu walked into the secret room with a smile.
"Qi had something to do just now and I neglected our distinguished guests. Please forgive me." Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
The masked man in black was not polite to the other party and said bluntly: "Master Qi Zhuang, I am here to inquire about the whereabouts of Xuanbing White Jade and Jadeite Spirit Jade."
Qi Yunshu was slightly startled and secretly looked at the masked man in black clothes in front of him.
This man was dressed in black from top to bottom, but the fabric was of the highest quality. The only exposed pair of red and phoenix eyes gave such a majestic look that Qi Yunshu had to stop looking at him.
Qi Yunshu cleared his throat and said: "This Xuanbing White Jade and Jadeite Spirit Jade are ancient gems. You must think too highly of our Treasure Villa!"
The masked man in black chuckled and said, "Master Qi, aren't you afraid of damaging his own sign?"
Qi Yunshu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said: "There has been no trace of the Black Ice White Jade in this world for many years, and this jade jade should be in the hands of Qingfeng Xia."
The masked man in black sneered: "Is this news even known to the people on the street?"
Qi Yunshu coughed lightly and said, "That's true, but the news is absolutely true."
"What about the whereabouts of Qingfengxia?" the masked man in black asked.
"You are really good at joking! Our villa is a place for business, not a bandit gang. How can we know their whereabouts?" Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
"I heard that there are rewards for various treasures at Treasure Mountain Villa. Is this true?" The masked man in black asked again.
"That's true." Qi Yunshu paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "But do you want to offer a reward for Qingfeng Xia or a reward for jadeite?"
"None of them. I want the ancient book "Monogatari Listening to the Wind" from Wenshan Academy." The masked man in black said.
Qi Yunshu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that what the other party wanted was just an ordinary ancient book.
"What? Is this difficult?" asked the masked man in black.
Qi Yunshu said with a smile: "It's not too difficult. Although "Monogatari Listening to the Wind" is just an ordinary ancient book, Wenshan Academy has a great background. If you want to take things out of Wenshan Academy, you don't have excellent skills. , I’m afraid…”
"Master Qi doesn't have to worry about remuneration." As he said that, the masked man in black winked at his subordinate.
The subordinate took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Qi Yunshu.
"This is the deposit." The masked man in black said.
Qi Yunshu took the banknote, put it away with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "No problem, I will arrange it for the distinguished guest immediately."
"That's very good. Farewell!" The masked man in black said and was about to leave.
"I wonder what you call your distinguished guest?" Qi Yunshu quickly caught up and asked.
"You don't need to know this." The masked man in black walked away without looking back.
The steward just now stepped forward and said to Qi Yunshu: "Master, this Wenshan Academy is not simple. It was originally a place for the government. Although it is separated now, it is still inextricably linked to the government. And there are mysterious things recently. Someone has taken over Wenshan Academy, and I heard it has a great background. I'm afraid it's hard to get hold of this ancient book."
"There must be a brave man who will be rewarded, so don't worry. You should hurry up and make arrangements and get the news out in time. Don't keep our distinguished guests waiting for too long." Qi Yunshu said.
"I understand, little one," the steward said.
"By the way, when will the 'Soul Locking Pill' I ordered last time arrive?" Qi Yunshu asked.
"Just for a few days." The steward replied.

Ling'er was worried that Uncle Ji would be angry, so she didn't dare to sneak back to Jijiazhuang secretly after spending too much time outside.
When Ling'er walked through the hall of Liu Suiyuan tremblingly, he heard Ji Cangyu getting angry.
Ling'er walked into the hall cautiously, repeating the words she had thought of before.
"Uncle Ji, I..." Before Ling'er could finish speaking, Ji Cangyu raised his hand to stop him.
Ji Cangyu said to the old man beside him: "Mr. Ji, please continue, what is going on?"
The old man beside him, Ji Lao, is the accountant of Jijiazhuang and is responsible for taking care of all Jijiazhuang's business in the capital.
"If there hadn't been a problem with the original purchase channel, our cloth store would not have had to raise costs to purchase goods from other places. This increase in cost would have no advantage in terms of selling price. We can't sell at a loss!" Ji Lao frowned.
Ling'er thought to herself: "It turns out that Uncle Ji is not angry with me."
"What's wrong with the purchase channel?" Ji Cangyu asked.
"The head of the Qi family is unwilling to supply us." Mr. Ji replied.
Qi family? Ling'er was shocked when he heard this. Isn't it Brother Qi Yang who is in charge of the Qi family?
"Why is this?" Ji Cangyu asked.
Ji Lao shook his head to express his ignorance.
"Then there are no other cloth suppliers in the capital?" Ji Cangyu asked again.
"What you don't know is that in the cloth business, the only supplier in the capital is Qi's non-cutting shop." Ji Lao sighed, "Actually, it's not just the cloth business, several other businesses have also been under the influence of Qi's. Make things difficult.”
"Is there any conflict of interest between us and the Qi family in business?" Ji Cangyu asked.
Ji Lao thought for a while and then said: "Not really."
"Then why are they making things difficult for us?" Ji Cangyu was puzzled.
Ji Lao shook his head.
"It seems that I have to go meet the head of the Qi family and see who he is! Mr. Ji, help me make arrangements." Ji Cangyu said.
"I'm afraid..." Mr. Ji hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'll go and try it!" After saying that, Mr. Ji left.
Ji Cangyu sighed deeply, then turned to Ling'er and scolded: "Where did you run to?"
Although she had rehearsed it countless times in her mind, Ling'er still stuttered a bit when she spoke: "I...I met Sister Liu Bai when I was sending Uncle Song out, so we went shopping with her."
"You're not with Jun'er?" Ji Cangyu asked with a frown.
"Brother Jun? No!" Linger shook his head.
Ji Cangyu said worriedly: "Then where did he go? He has never been to the capital and is not familiar with the place..."
"Brother Jun is out too?" Ling'er asked.
"I saw that he didn't eat much during lunch, so I went over with some snacks. Who knew he wasn't in the village," Ji Cangyu said.
"Brother Jun is such a big man, he should be fine, right?" Ling'er comforted Ji Cangyu, secretly glad that Uncle Ji didn't pursue her for slipping out.
"It's because I didn't think well. How can such a big child stay at home? I have to take you out for a walk tomorrow." Ji Cangyu said.
Ling'er frowned upon hearing this.
