Chapter 850 Official Announcement from Sun and Moon: It Was an Explosion of a Forging Furnace
"It really exploded? That's ruthless!"
Imperial Censor Ma gave Li Zhong a thumbs up. He could only talk the talk, but Li Zhong was a real go-getter when it came to matters!
Lei Shang frowned at Li Zhong and cursed, "Idiot! You should at least wait until we left First Street before you bombed it! What if that old dog Xu Zhong comes after us before we've even left? Will you go explain to His Majesty tomorrow, or will I do it?"
The underworld had already been suppressed by Xu Tianran, and which of them didn't run an underworld?
Isn't this like delivering it to someone's doorstep?
Li Zhong shook his head violently and said, "It wasn't me! I was only responsible for yelling and cursing; I didn't send anyone to infiltrate Xu Laogou's mansion to plant a bomb!"
"Strange! Is it that old dog Xu Zhong has gone mad and even demolished his own house?" Imperial Censor Ma said in bewilderment.
Lei Shang shook his head and said quickly, "No matter what, we have to get out of here as soon as possible! Who knows if that old dog Xu Zhong will go crazy and try to pin it on us?"
After saying that, Lei Shang immediately slipped away, quickly leaving with his servants.
Li Zhong and Imperial Censor Ma were not stupid; after being enlightened, they immediately turned into the alley and left.
Xu Zhong's mansion, which originally featured a beautiful fishpond, rockery, pavilions, and waterside terraces in the center, has been reduced to ruins and rubble.
Xu Zhong stood in the air, veins bulging on his forehead, looking at a large hole in the ground, the location of his underground storage.
He took a deep breath, enveloped his entire body in soul power, and flew into the underground vault.
There was a large hole in the door of his vault, and further inside, several open cabinets were found among rows of deformed safes.
On one of the cabinets, there was a line of small print.
"Xiao Nan was here at night"
"Aaaaaah! Xiao Nanye!!!"
Xu Zhong could no longer contain his anger and the burning sensation in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Oh, Master!" Xu Jing hurriedly flew forward to support Xu Zhong, while slowly deactivating the flying soul tool behind him.
"Quickly! Send people to investigate! What exactly is missing!"
Xu Zhong stood up shakily and shouted, "Marlowe! Get the hell over here!"
Marlo, the captain of the guard team who had been watching the large hole in the middle, rushed in. He was hit by a piece of gravel on the way and rolled right in front of Xu Zhong.
"Master, Master!" Marlowe bowed his head low.
Xu Zhong looked at the empty safes, and his anger flared up again, a trickle of blood running down the corner of his mouth.
"I'll give you half an hour to find out exactly what happened to the safe! What's missing!" Xu Zhong roared.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Marlowe rolled out again to gather his men.
Xu Zhong was carried back to the bedroom to calm his turbulent emotions.
Lying on the couch, Xu Zhong kept breathing heavily. He wondered if tonight's events were a conspiracy by Xiao Nanye. First, the guards found a loophole, collected the confidentiality fee, and went to Xunhuanlou. Then, they got into a fight with the young masters of Xunhuanlou. Finally, just now, Li Zhong and Lei Shang led people to block the door.
Now, upon careful reflection, Xu Zhong realized that these events seemed to follow a pattern and could be connected.
"Could it be... that Xiao Nanye had already set a trap for me all along?!" Xu Zhong became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.
From the moment he announced his intention to capture Xiao Nanye, had he already fallen into his trap?
What terrifying cunning! What terrifying strategic ability!
After lying down and thinking for half an hour, Marlowe returned with the results of his investigation.
"Master! Apart from the safe containing rare metals being stolen, the other safes show no signs of being opened, but..."
"But what?!" Xu Zhong sat up abruptly. His vault contained the plans entrusted by His Majesty, which he had organized into documents and stored away.
"But... the safe seems to be... locked," Marlowe said with a strange expression.
"Locked?" Upon hearing that only the safe containing rare metals had been stolen, Xu Zhong felt a surge of secret joy.
But when Xu Zhong thought of the infamous Xiao Nanye, he felt something was wrong and quickly got up to check.
When Xu Zhong saw that his untouched safes were securely protected by five layers of core security arrays, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Nanye ahhhhh!!!"
The sound was like the wailing of a vengeful ghost, as if a vengeful ghost had escaped from the underworld.
Xiao Ye No. 1 was hiding on the roof of a tall building, observing from afar with his soul-guided device. When he saw Xu Zhong fly into the large hole, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up wildly.
"Hehe, I don't have time to unlock them, but locking them is a piece of cake! Take your time unlocking them, and guess how many safes I've broken into?"
Xu Zhong's vault is huge, but Xiao Ye No. 1 can cheat.
Xu Tianran's plan had been copied by Xiao Ye No. 1 and put back in its original place, secured with five locks.
Let Xu Zhong pry them open one by one; unless that old geezer goes to the ancestral hall to ask for help.
"Mission accomplished. I didn't expect Xu Tianran to go to such lengths this time. We need to find his true form as soon as possible." Xiao Ye No. 1's body was surrounded by ice mirrors. He flipped over and jumped off the building, disappearing into mid-air.
The explosion at Xu Zhong's residence caused noticeable tremors throughout most of Mingdu.
During the competition, participating teams inquired about the tremors that occurred the previous night.
The official response from Sun Moon was that a family's improper forging of soul tools caused the forging furnace to explode.
"A furnace exploded? Mingdu really is a pioneering city for soul tools. This person is still forging and refining rare metals in his own home."
Xu Sanshi was eating a fried dough stick while holding the Mingdu Daily.
Beibei leaned over and took a look. "It's pretty normal. After all, this is the place with the most advanced soul tool technology. It's not surprising that every household has a soul tool workshop. The blacksmith shops in the North District alone are very hardcore, using mechanical hammers for refining."
"Mingdu Daily? Mingdu even has this report?" Wang Dong'er yawned, lying on the table.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the Mingdu Daily in Xu Sanshi's hand. Its strong entertainment headlines made him subconsciously glance at Ye Nanxiao sitting in front of him.
He always felt as if Ye Nanxiao himself was speaking in these articles that blended a lighthearted, humorous style with a touch of scientific advice.
"Could this newspaper also be part of Mud Sauce's business?" Huo Yuhao suddenly had this thought.
Ye Nanxiao was too busy to pay attention to him. He sat alone at a small round table, with a little rabbit and a little phoenix sitting on either side of him, and a piece of prickly fruit peel in front of him.
"Xiaoxiao, I've been so busy with team matters lately that I've neglected your feelings. Come on, open your mouth, let Sister Tao feed you!"
Ma Xiaotao held a steamed bun covered in chili sauce in her hand and gently handed it to Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
"Oh no, you can't put spicy hot sauce on steamed buns..."
"Then try my vinegar bread." Jiang Nannan pushed a plate of bread over, and there was a small piece of bread, about the size of a fingernail, soaking in the vinegar.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Oh no, this isn't bread, it's vinegar soup..."
Ye Nanxiao knew he had stirred up a jar of jealousy, but the problem was, he hadn't done anything last night.
Xu Jiujiu came to order the next batch of military soul tools. It's understandable that she would personally take charge of such an important military matter, given the crucial importance of protecting the palace.
The person being negotiated with wasn't me; I just squatted to the side like a mascot.
The little rabbit seemed to be having a good time, so why did it start thinking about other things when it got back?
The fox was confused.
He barely said a word last night.
"Hurry up and eat breakfast, there's a competition later at noon." Ma Xiaotao reached out and gently pinched Ye Nanxiao's cheek, then brought the chili bread to Ye Nanxiao's mouth.
Ye Nanxiao silently opened his mouth, shut off his taste buds, and bit into the bread smeared with exploding chili sauce.
"I'm a Contra master, an eight-ring powerhouse! Do you think I'd be afraid of a little chili sauce?"
Ma Xiaotao grabbed one of Ye Nanxiao's large hands, and the soul power bond immediately connected, pulling and moving.
"Xiao Xiaozi, you're having breakfast, why are you still training your soul power? This won't do, you need to relax when it's time to relax!"
"No, I..."
"Okay, I know you work very hard usually. Be good, let me take care of you."
The soul power bond twisted, and the soul power within Ye Nanxiao's body came to a standstill.
Actually, if you remove the seeds from a chili pepper, it probably won't be very spicy... right?
"Hoo-hoo!"
Ye Nanxiao's face flushed red, and his fox tail popped out, wagging wildly.
"Is it too spicy? Have some soup." Jiang Nannan pushed the soup with bread slices in it in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao knew that if he continued like this, his lunch today would probably be a spicy chili sauce with Tianhun's signature vinegar.
Two fox tails wrapped around the two women's waists as if to befriend them, the tips of the tails brushing against their arms.
"Nannan... Sister Xiaotao... I, Fox, paid my dues last night, I was very obedient!"
Ye Nanxiao took Jiang Nannan's small hand.
He, Ye the Fox, should at least get to the bottom of this. Honestly, he was the most honest he'd ever been when we were negotiating last night, only taking two percent of the profit.
"Really? But haven't you been having a poor appetite lately, trying to live off a woman?" Jiang Nannan reached out and flicked the tip of the fox's tail, teasingly laughing.
"If I were to eat, it would be the Tang Sect's vice sect leader's secretary and Shrek Academy's student council president's gigolos!" Ye Nanxiao said with a righteous expression.
"You're such a chatterbox. Nan Nan said you kept staring at a little girl that Empress Xingluo brought last night. Ye Fox, are you looking for a change of pace lately?" Ma Xiaotao released her grip on Ye Nanxiao's hand and pulled him into her arms instead.
"Huh?" Ye Nanxiao was puzzled after the face wash was applied.
The little girl Xu Jiujiu brought? That girl Shang Yunshu?
Holy crap!
I, the fox, am innocent!
"No! I was observing that girl's martial soul! Shang Yunshu's martial soul is the Spatial Scepter, which is of great help to our research on the spatial teleporter!" Ye Nanxiao quickly said.
"Then it seems to be true. After all, that little girl is too young and doesn't fit your taste." Ma Xiaotao moved closer to Ye Nanxiao, letting him feel her pounding heartbeat.
"Actually, if you like that cute style, Nan Nan and I can try it too, but the dresses don't come in our size." Ma Xiaotao said, biting Ye Nanxiao's ear.
After learning about his little phoenix's predicament, Ye Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "Actually, my craftsmanship is quite good. A few dozen pieces of clothing are no problem for me!"
