Chapter 133 – Stealing Skills
”Oops! My name is Wu Jiuzhi. As soon as I saw you, I felt especially close to you, could it be that we were destined to be together in our past lives, come on! Let’s turn around and drink blood wine and be brothers!”
As soon as the green-striped Daoist’s words fell, the smiling fellow suddenly scurried over, pounced in front of Han Li, and stretched out a hand to tug on Han Li’s arm before saying with a face of deep affection.
Han Li was startled at first, but then laughed lightly.
”It’s not impossible to be a brother, but this hand of Your Excellency, don’t go groping around on my body, okay? My hobbies can be normal, and I have little interest in pure and beautiful young men!”
Han Li flirted with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and with a fierce lift of one arm and a backhand, he grabbed a certain wrist as fast as lightning, and the front half of this wrist had quietly reached into Han Li’s lapel.
”Cough! Cough! This is really strange, how did my hand get inside brother’s arms, it must be that it also met with brother Han at first sight and couldn’t wait to go and say hello!” The young man was exposed by Han Li on the spot, first a shocked face flushed, but after dryly coughing a few times and pushing a few sentences, he slowly drew back his wrist as if nothing had happened.
Han Li does not have the meaning of the other side of the dead buckle not to let go, the teenager a force, he let go at will.
At this time, Han Li, on the contrary, was interested in this guy called Wu Jiufinger, obviously an Immortal Cultivator, but using the stealing skills of a Jianghu man, pickpocketing his things, it’s really somewhat interesting.
However, his technique is quite superb and skillful, if not for the fact that he has also practiced similar secret techniques, I am afraid that it would not be easy to detect his small movements. I’m sure that quite a few people in the room have suffered from him!
Han Li had just thought of this when he heard Hu Pinggu’s gloating voice.
”Wu kid, you’ve run into a hard bargain, haven’t you? To be caught on the spot by brother Han, see what kind of first-rate stealing skills he still boasts of, doing all this petty thievery!”
”Little master I’m happy to, what’s wrong? You want me to steal from you again, I’m not stealing, I don’t have anything worthwhile on my body, and I’m still here to participate in the Tai Nan Hui?” Wu Jiuzhi skimmed his lips and said meanly.
”What did you say, little brat! I haven’t settled the score with you for stealing something from this madam last time?” Aunt Hu Ping jumped up from her chair in a flash and said with an iron-clad face.
As for her husband, the bearded man, although he did not speak, he also pressed his hand on the large sword behind his back and glared angrily at the teenager. Later, Han Li realized that this Xiong Dali was actually a Heavenly Mute, so everything was dominated by his wife.
”Alright! We are both Immortal Cultivators and should focus on harmony, so both of you should step back and stop arguing.” Daoist Green Stripe frowned at this, but still exited to persuade up, and then said solemnly to Wu Jiujie specifically, “Brother Wu, I know that you steal things just for fun, and that every time you return the lost items back to the owner, there is no malice in it. But if you do this, sooner or later, you will still get into big trouble, not every owner of the lost property is good to talk to, in case you get blamed by the people of the Immortal Cultivation Clan, won’t it make us want to help you, but also simply can’t stand on the word of reason? So it’s better not to make such jokes to other fellow travelers!”
The young man was also a bit embarrassed to hear Daoist Green Stripe’s such heartfelt persuasion as he scratched the back of his head and said rather sincerely, “Actually, I was on my way to Tai Nan Valley when I unintentionally obtained this stealing technique, and only because I thought it was fun, I practiced it without realizing it and tried it out on all of you in a small way, so I really can’t afford it to you all! But since this brother Han was able to make my little brother miss, that means there will be even more powerful guys at the conference, so everyone can rest assured that my little brother won’t joke around with his little life and use the stealing technique again at the conference.”
The Taoist priest’s face was overjoyed and full of relief when he heard this from the youngster.
”Brother Wu is overqualified, at this age, he practiced the eighth layer to the great circle realm, it is really a wizard among our loose cultivators, it is to be cherished more in this way!”
”My little brother will not fail to live up to the high expectations of the Taoist Master, please take care of me more in the future!” Wu Jiuzhi was also very honorable, and gave a deep ringing salute to the surroundings, which was considered to unravel this beam with everyone.
Although Hu Pinggu still had some resentment on her face, her face was much better than just now, and she seemed to have reluctantly accepted the other party’s goodwill.
It was only then that Daoist Green Stripe turned back to Han Li and said with a smile, “I don’t think so, Brother Han just came and made this great achievement ah, the poor Taoist would like to thank you!”
Han Li smiled faintly, and pushed back in a hushed voice, “What does this have to do with me, it’s all the Daoist priest’s merit in defusing the situation!”
The Daoist shook his head and laughed, so he said nothing more. But then a buzzing, slurred voice rang out.
”Taoist priest, what is it that you have brought us all here for? Why isn’t the monk attending?”
It turned out to be the fat man with white skin, who spoke nonchalantly.
This person, however, was qualified to have such an attitude towards the green-striped Daoist!
Because Han Li had long since realized that of all the people in the arena, this fat man had the most powerful magical power, and seemed to be even deeper than that Green Stripe by that much. So no one dared to have the slightest intention of ridicule because this fat man’s voice was so unpleasant, even that Wu Jiuzhi, also a serious look, not showing the slightest difference.
”It seems that this Immortal Cultivation Realm is similar to the secular Jianghu, where only those who are strong are respected!” Seeing this, Han Li thought with some sneer.
”Heh! Brother Huang is still acute! Alright, the poor Taoist will say the reason for calling a few of you here.” Qing Lines threw his duster around and said without the slightest hint of fireworks.
”The Tai Nan Hui is already halfway through, and there are still a dozen or so days to go before it ends, so shouldn’t it be time for everyone to get out? If we’re going to set up a stall, it’s best to act together, so I’m looking for the group to discuss this. As for Master Bitterthorn, everything he brought has already been exchanged out, so there’s no need to participate in the deliberation anymore!”
”That’s right, it’s indeed time to get the things out and exchange them for some spirit stones to buy some other things!” At once, the people in the room whispered.
After a lot of chatter, these people said that they would sell their things together tomorrow, except for Han Li.
”Brother Han is unwilling to act together?” Wu Jiuzhi asked with some consternation.
The others also looked at Han Li in confusion.
”The things I brought with me were already small, and I happened to run into a few suitable buyers last night, so I swapped them all out! That’s why I don’t intend to move along with a few of you.” Han Li explained lightly with a calm demeanor.
”In that case! Then there’s indeed no need to suffer along with us! Brother Han is really lucky to have sold all his things just after arriving.” Hu Pinggu said with some envy.
The others, too, all revealed a “You’re a lucky guy!” They all had a “You’re lucky!” look on their faces.
Han Li smiled without saying anything.
Seeing that the matter had been deliberated, Daoist Greenstripe happily stood up and said, “Then, everyone rest well tonight and get refreshed tomorrow, hopefully we’ll all have a good harvest!”
Upon hearing this, several people also stood up and prepared to leave with smiles on their faces.
Right at this moment, Daoist Green Stripe seemed to remember something and suddenly said to the crowd of people with a solemn expression.
”By the way, when the Tai Nan Meeting is over, everyone shouldn’t leave in a panic! I’ve heard that in recent times, after the Tai Nan Meeting has ended, some loose cultivators like us have inexplicably disappeared after the meeting. It’s better for everyone to be careful! I think a few of you won’t miss the Heavenly Mist Platform Immortal Ascension Conference! The group happens to be traveling in pairs, so it’s much safer!”
Upon hearing the words of the Taoist priest about the disappearance of the scattered cultivators, among those present, the Blackwood Brothers and Hu Pinggu Couple changed their colors at the words, while Wu Jiuzhi and that Red Lotus Scattered Man looked bewildered, while Fatty Huang Xiaotian grunted coldly but with a somber expression.
”Yes, we brothers agree with Daoist Green Stripe’s words, it’s better to travel in pairs.”
”Our couple doesn’t object either!”
The Blackwood brothers and the Hu Pinggu couple all agreed in unison, seeming to be greatly leery of this matter.
