C362 Strange Cultivation House

At this moment, Yan Yuan's heart was filled with regret. He should not have let her come out to wade through this muddy water with him.

He had no idea how many dirty and dangerous things were involved. How could he involve Qing Qing?

The more he thought about it, the more regretful Yan Yuan felt. He couldn't help but curse in his heart as he punched the table, making a dull sound.

Not long after staying in the room, he got up and came out, and quietly followed behind Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Yang.

"There really is nothing."

Shen Qin looked at the empty prefecture s granary in front of him, and muttered softly before shifting her gaze to Wang Xuan Ling who was beside him.

Seeing him solemnly nod his head, Li Yao didn't show the slightest disappointment on his face, "I had already expected this to happen. I guess the second granary would also end up with the same result."

Wang Xuan Ling glanced at Shen Qin. It was rare that she did not have the same disgust and rejection from before.

"Let's go to the next warehouse."

"Yes."

The two did not linger in the granary for too long, and quickly left.

On Liu Ruo Qing's side, after looking through the two squire's grain depots, without finding anything, she was a little disappointed.

"Princess, there is also a Mi Shang warehouse with the surname Xiu. It is said that it is the biggest barn in Guangshun Mansion."

"Mm, let's go take a look."

He hoped that the last granary would find something.

Liu Ruo Qing prayed in her heart as she sped up her journey with Qi Feng towards the Mi Shang's home.

He didn't notice that a black shadow was following them closely without stopping for a moment.

"Princess, look. This warehouse is different from the other two families. There are people guarding every corner of it."

"This means that this granary must be filled to the brim with food."

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because it was not the harvesting season, under normal circumstances, there would not be too much food in the rice shop.

Furthermore, due to the snowstorm from a few days ago, although Guangshun Mansion was not affected as severely as she was affected by the snowstorm, she was still affected by it to a certain extent.

Many people went to the rice shop early to buy some winter food. By right, Xiu Family's grain storehouse wouldn't be so full that they would need so many people to guard it.

Unless there was a large amount of food in the granary, and whether or not it was relief food issued by the imperial government, he would have to go down and check it thoroughly before confirming.

The Xiu Clan's granary was as large as two prefectures' grain depots, and was more than enough to store several hundred thousand stone worth of grain.

"Looking at the number of people, there should be a lot of food in the granary. We will split up and go in to see if it is the imperial government's food for disaster relief."

Liu Ruo Qing glanced to the side, and said softly to Qi Feng, who was also hidden in the darkness.

"Yes, Princess."

Qi Feng took the initiative and jumped down from the roof, and arrived outside one of the warehouses.

Because it was late in the night, the guards were much more relaxed. Qi Feng sealed the two people's acupoints, and then, he pushed open the door and went in.

Just as he expected, the warehouse was filled with food.

On the other side, Liu Ruo Qing followed Qi Feng and easily entered the other warehouse.

The food inside was piled into a mountain, on the bag containing the food, there was a red print on the cover, with a row of words written on the side. Just as Liu Ruo Qing wanted to go up, suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind her back.

The palm wind was extremely strong, Liu Ruo Qing was able to barely dodge it, but she did not have the strength to retaliate.

She had not expected that there would be someone in the warehouse. Furthermore, it was hidden so deeply that she had no idea where that person was.

The opponent was hidden very deeply, and his attack was extremely fast, so no matter how Liu Ruo Qing thought about her martial arts, she didn't have any strength to resist.

A ninja from the East Ocean Continent!

In the next moment, Liu Ruo Qing saw through the other party's identity, but it was already too late for her to think too much into it.

Liu Ruo Qing had to put in a lot of effort to get used to the darkness in front of him. Against ninjas, eyes were useless right now.

She simply closed her eyes and used her hearing to explain where the ninja was.

As expected, this method was more effective. Liu Ruo Qing who was originally unable to block the attack now had the ability to retaliate.

"Who dares to break into the grain depot?"

Both of them had their arms crossed, unable to break free from each other's grasp.

"As a Ninja of the East Ocean Continent, why aren't you staying in the East Ocean Continent? What are you doing in my Easternum?"

Liu Ruo Qing's sharp eyes swept towards the person hidden in the darkness in front of her. A simple question suddenly caused the person in front of her to look up.

"Who are you, how do you know …"

He did not ask any further, and only looked at Liu Ruo Qing with a pair of terrified eyes.

He seemed to be very afraid that his identity would be discovered?

Liu Ruo Qing realized this in an instant, and following that, her lips curled up into an unrecognizable smile: "Who I am is not important, the important thing is, who are you, and what are you doing in the Easternum?"

She followed the Ninja's words and probed him with her words. The sounds of fighting came from next door, and from the looks of it, Qi Feng had also been discovered by the Ninja.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, but she did not show it on her face.

She clearly discovered that after her identity as a ninja was discovered, her entire body became a little chaotic.

Taking advantage of this situation, she immediately broke free from the Ninja's restraints and rushed out of the granary.

Why these ninjas would be in Easternum was not something she needed to be concerned about right now. She had to leave this place with Qi Feng immediately.

A mere squire's grain depot had not only been set up to guard the entrance, but had also been filled with so many Japanese ninjas. This cultivator was certainly not simple.

When the two of them came out of the granary, they were surrounded. The ninjas guarding the granary did not come out.

In the courtyard, the torches in the hands of the guards made the dark night as bright as day. Following a low cough, the people surrounding them instantly opened up a path.

A person dressed as a butler slowly walked over.

His gaze scanned the two men's masked faces from head to toe. Then, he casually said, "Who are you two? How dare you trespass into my grain depot?"

Qi Feng raised his eyebrows, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, he heard Liu Ruo Qing say: "I heard that outside of the cultivator's house, there are more grains piled up than the stores in the magistrate court. We were curious, and came to take a look."

Liu Ruo Qing's gaze remained calm and collected as she sized up the middle-aged man's expression. The muscles on his face twitched almost imperceptibly.

Soon after, he covered his mouth and coughed, saying: "Other than our family members, there is the biggest rice merchant in the entire Guangshun Mansion, is there a lot of food? "How dare you two troublesome civilians break into the grain depot privately. Men, seize them and send them to the yamen for Lord Fu to handle."
