Qi Baye raised his eyes and looked towards the second floor.
Gong Qi bumped his arm.
"Perhaps she just came to find you. It seems that you need to find an expert in that fight. It's hard to find one in Jiumen. She just came to this street. The only one on this street is the Qi family."
Qi Tiezui glanced at him and criticized, "Vulgar, how can Miss Lin's matter be called a fight? She is different from us. She is an archaeologist and contributes to the motherland."
"Oh, look at my little belly and chicken intestines, you are right."
Second floor compartment.
Lin Yan shook the wine glass in his hand and pursed his red lips, "I heard that the Ji family sent you to the Qi family, one of the nine sects. The war finally stopped. Ji Lin is really heartless."
In the early 1950s, tomb robbers were most rampant at this time. In this era, there was no complete law and many people chose to take risks. Jiumen was also at its most prosperous.
Even Lin Yan, an archaeologist, had no choice but to come to Jiumen for help. One can imagine the influence of Jiumen now.
Ji Lanqian's aura is far inferior to that of this aunt. She has a bit of innocence on her baby-fat face, but her words are so straightforward, "What about aunt, was today a coincidence or intentional?"
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable. She had never thought that her niece would be able to talk to her like this one day.
Seeing that she was silent, Ji Lanqian chuckled lightly, with a hint of contempt.
"I've been here at Qijia for a week. What do you want me to do for you when you investigate me?"
With such straightforward words, Lin Yan thought that he really underestimated Ji Lanqian, who was much more stable at a young age.
"Since you are a smart person, I will open the skylight and speak out. You know, auntie, I am studying archeology. Now I am encountering some difficulties. I would like to ask the person named Qi among the nine sects to come out and help."
"I know that you have a good relationship with Mr. Qi Ba. I hope you can put in a good word for me. After all, what my aunt does is to contribute to the motherland."
Lin Yan's expression was inexplicably serious when he said this.
Ji Lanqian does not doubt her patriotism.
However, she restrained her emotions and said, "I'm just staying in the Qi family's old house temporarily, and my relationship with the Qi family is not that good. I can't speak for you. If you really want to ask Qi Tiezui for help, you can say it yourself. I won't do this. Just go with the flow."
Lin Yan put down her wine glass and said three good words in a row. She was really prepared and knew in advance that her niece had a good relationship with the Qi family, so she came here on purpose to wait for her.
But he didn't expect to be rejected by her without any mercy.
"Do you want to disassociate yourself from me, the Qi family, or the Jiumen? Although I don't know what happened to the Ji family, from this moment on, the fate of the Jiumen will be related to You coexist.”
Lin Yan's red lips parted slightly, and there was a bit of horror when she said these words.
Ji Lanqian still couldn't help but clenched the corners of her clothes. She looked calm on the outside, but her heart was pounding. She couldn't be frightened by the other party.
Lin Yan looked at her reaction in amusement, then got up and left after a few seconds.
After leaving the cubicle, looking down from the second floor, there was a gentleman in a gray gown standing on the first floor.
His posture was upright and he was shaking a folding fan in his hand, which gave him a certain air of immortality.
Lin Yan knew that this man was Qi Baye, who was ranked eighth among the nine sects, and was known as Qi Tiezui, the divine fortune teller.
She went downstairs and lowered her posture and said to Mr. Qi Ba, "Thank you for taking care of my niece. This letter is for you. Please be sure to open it and read it."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Master Qi Ba.
Qi Baye smiled gently and did not refuse. He raised his hand to catch the letter, saying that no one would be offended.
"Ms. Lin, please come here in person. I will consider it."
After that, the two said goodbye.
Above the second floor.
Ji Lanqian looked down at them. Master Qi Ba was humble and polite, and her aunt Lin Yan was also quite humble.
She rejected Lin Yan because she didn't want to owe Master Qi Ba a favor, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold her head high when speaking in the future.
Jiumen is already like this, and she is deeply trapped in it. If she says anything to help her aunt again now, she will be completely unable to escape.
Seeing her dazed on the second floor, Master Qi Ba reminded her, "What are you doing in a daze? We should go back."
"okay."
Ji Lanqian came to her senses and went down from the second floor to leave side by side with Qi Baye.
Behind him, Gong Qi looked at the backs of the two of them, stroking his chin and thinking. It seemed that Mr. Qi Ba and Miss Ji were quite a match. No wonder there were rumors that Mr. Qi Ba was the Ji family's son-in-law.
It's really a high climb.
On the way back, Ji Lanqian was the first to speak, "I didn't agree with my aunt, and it has nothing to do with me."
Qi Baye smiled.
"Do you also want to separate your relationship with me for this kind of thing?"
"Of course, I don't want to disassociate myself from you, but I want to disassociate myself from Jiumen."
"Don't think about it, you are one of the non-staff members of the Nine Gates at the Nine Gates gathering in two days." Qi Baye teased.
Ji Lanqian smiled bitterly, "It's really annoying. It seems I can't escape. What about the letter about my aunt?"
A slight smile appeared on Qi Baye's lips, and he spoke gently, "I will look at and deal with her letter. This is a matter of contributing to the motherland, and of course I will do it. Don't regard everything as a matter of human nature. "
She paused, grunted, and retorted arrogantly, "I didn't."
Yes, she just didn't want to owe him a favor.
After returning to Qi's shop, there were customers waiting in the inner hall.
Xiao Chang gave Ji Lanqian a cup of tea and some snacks. Qi Baye asked her to wait a little longer and go home after finishing the calculation.
Today's guest is different from those in the past. He is wearing coarse clothes. He does not look like a rich man. He also wears a large black hat to cover his face.
When he heard someone coming in, he lowered his head and said in a rough and unpleasant voice, "Master Ba, something strange happened to me."
Qi Baye said as usual, "Our store is a small business, and the rule is that you buy one thing at a time. You must pick something from the store and buy it before I can tell you the fortune."
The other party knew the rules here, so he picked the cheapest bracelet. This kind of thing was not very valuable, but he could afford it.
"In that case," Qi Baye poured him a cup of hot tea, "then please tell me and listen."
The man kept rubbing his hands repeatedly, his voice was still trembling, "I encountered something strange. I feel that my father and mother are no longer human, they are monsters."
Qi Baye glanced at him and asked in a faint voice, "Where to start?"
"A few days ago, I was provoked into a fight. It didn't look like a big fight, but it was just a mausoleum where businessmen were buried with a grand burial. There were two coffins buried together. I opened the coffin and there weren't many things inside. So we divided the spoils and went our separate ways. "
