Huang Yan's voice was extrely loud, and his eyes revealed intense anger. It was as though the shopkeeper wasn't humiliating Xu Qing but him.
After all, among the items on the counter, there were three that he had given to Xu Qing.
Faced with Huang Yan's anger, the shopkeeper's expression turned increasingly gloomy. He grabbed the bone the other party threw at him.
Holding the bone, he coldly glanced at Huang Yan.
He thought to himself, 'You didn't leave the Pilotage Departnt for the past eight years just to chase after a senior sister who might be a village girl from the countryside. You gave her so many gifts that everyone knows about it, becoming a joke. Since you're looking for trouble now, don't bla .'

The shop assistant pretended to take out a voice transmission jade slip. He looked at the shopkeeper and understood what he should do. He started to slowly send a ssage and report the case.
The eyes of the disciples from the various peaks in the shop glead as they watched this scene.
To be able to enter the Seven Blood Eyes and survive in such an environnt, most of the disciples had highly active minds. They naturally saw through such a simple trick. They also understood that the main point of this matter wasn't the Diamond Sect's theft, but that soone from the Sixth Peak wanted to find trouble with Xu Qing and Huang Yan.
As for whether it was both of them or just one of them, it was hard for them to tell. However, they felt that there was a high chance that it was targeted at Xu Qing who took out the items.
No one spoke. They just watched from the side. Zhang San was the sa.
Xu Qing didn't care about the gazes of the others. Right now, he was very surprised by Huang Yan's reaction. Although the relationship between the two of them wasn't bad, it wasn't deep after all. The other party's reaction sowhat puzzled him.
At the sa ti, Xu Qing was even more puzzled that the shopkeeper wanted to report the matter to the Homicide Departnt and the pretentiousness of the staff at the side. It seed that this trap wasn't like what he had thought earlier, where they wanted him dead.
This was because if they really wanted to kill him, they could have just attacked him. There was no need to involve the Homicide Departnt and complicate things. The important figures would not cause a scene to kill piedmont disciples. This was unreasonable.
This matter seed more like they wanted to make use of this opportunity to beat him up and give the Diamond Sect an explanation.
Moreover, before he entered the shop, he had also sensed that there weren't any overly powerful fluctuations in the surroundings. Even now, it was still the sa. It didn't seem like there were any experts present.
Just when Xu Qing was deep in thought, Huang Yan glared angrily when he heard the shopkeeper reporting to the Homicide Departnt.
"The Homicide Departnt? Xu Qing is one of them!"
"Oh? Since you know the law and broke it, the severity of your cri will be increased by one level!" The shopkeeper looked at Huang Yan and frowned as he slowly spoke.
Huang Yan was so angry that he started laughing. Xu Qing was feeling increasingly puzzled about this matter. He lifted his hand and stopped him from rushing as he spoke softly.
"Huang Yan, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave first."
After that, he looked at the shopkeeper's neck with a calm expression and slowly spoke.
"These are the spoils of war I obtained from wanted criminals. You don't have to slander . If you have anything to say, just say it."
The shopkeeper imdiately beca vigilant. Xu Qing's reaction made him realize that this person was indeed not simple. In fact, after the higher-ups made the arrangents for this matter, they could have directly gone to Xu Qing and asked him to hand the items over. However, the disciples who knew about this, including him, wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune. Hence, they resorted to slander.
But now, the other party had clearly seen through his tricks. In reality, he also had so understanding of Xu Qing. He knew that soone who could rise to prominence in the Homicide Departnt was naturally not a simple person.
As a shopkeeper, he had soone protecting him from the back, so he wasn't among those who had to kill and loot each other to survive. Generally speaking, no piedmont disciple would dare to touch soone like him.
However, the feeling of chill on his neck still made him decide to change his mind at this mont. He didn't want to have too many conflicts with Xu Qing. In addition, he felt that he had already used the stick enough and it was ti to show the carrot. He was just about to speak up to ease the tension and state the conditions for resolving this matter.
But at this mont, Huang Yan, who was stopped by Xu Qing, let out a furious roar.
"Xu Qing, you don't have to help shoulder this matter. This matter has nothing to do with you. This is clearly targeted at , Huang Yan. I know, it must be Zhao Zhongheng. He holds a grudge against and knows that I co here often, so he colluded with this shop to slander !"
As soon as Huang Yan's words ca out, the shopkeeper's expression instantly turned strange. He cast a deep glance at Huang Yan as though he was looking at a weirdo. Xu Qing also looked at Huang Yan with narrowed eyes. He wanted to solve the problem, but Huang Yan seed to want to shift the bla to himself.
Huang Yan slamd the counter loudly. Just when he was about to continue bellowing, footsteps rang out from outside the shop, and a cold voice rang out.
"Who dares to cause a scene?" A few figures stepped into the shop.
Xu Qing turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
These figures wore gray-colored Daoist robes with the emblem of the Homicide Departnt on it. They were mbers of the Homicide Departnt, and the person in the lead was the captain of the Earth Division's Team Three, the rfolk youth whom Xu Qing had followed for more than half a month.
Behind him were four mbers of Team Three. As they entered, the rfolk youth cast an indifferent glance at Xu Qing.
"So it's you."
Xu Qing didn't say anything, but the vigilance in his heart had risen to the extre. The person who responded to the case so quickly was the rfolk youth who had a deep conflict with him. Sothing did not sll right.
