Chapter 369: Shortsightedness
Xu Zhenfeng felt regretful for only a moment, then smiled and said to Wu:
"Please tell me everything that happened here, Mr. Wu. Since there was a demonic aura when the Confucian Saint's Dharma instrument was stolen, I think there must be a demon involved."
Upon hearing this, Wu nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. The Confucian saint guarded here for six days, but still lost three magic tools."
When Wu Shizhang said this, he seemed to be having difficulty speaking. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although the demonic energy stayed for a short time, the Confucian Saint was unable to find any trace of it. I think the thieving demon is the best thief among the demons."
Before Xu Zhenfeng could react, Xiong Da, who was listening to what he said, was already getting a little angry.
"Master Wu, are you sure that the one who stole the magic weapon is a demon?"
Xiong Da said this angrily.
Manager Wu looked at Xu Zhenfeng with a confused expression for a moment.
Xu Zhenfeng asked quickly: "Is that Confucian saint sure that there is evil spirit?"
Manager Wu nodded and said, "That's right."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Everything was normal in the store yesterday. According to the previous pattern, I'm afraid that the thief will come again today."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded and said, "Please ask Manager Wu to take your men out of the store temporarily and go back to rest.
I, my brother, and this Shangguan Deacon are here to watch over it. If there are any mistakes, I believe your store will not care about them. "
Manager Wu smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Master Xu, over the past six months, our store has had over a hundred magical instruments of varying sizes stolen. If one or two more are stolen tonight, it won't matter."
Xu Zhenfeng asked curiously, "Why don't you put the precious magic tools and elixirs somewhere else? If you put them in the store, wouldn't that make the thief think that they must be here, and he will keep stealing them."
Manager Wu shook his head and said bitterly, "We have done this before, but no matter where we put the magic weapon, the thieves can find it. On the contrary, because we have collected rare magic weapons, the damage is the most serious."
After he finished speaking, he paused, then looked at Xu Zhenfeng and said, "Instead, all the magic weapons are placed here, and the thieves steal randomly. In many cases, they only steal some magic weapons that are not very precious."
"So, why don't you just put all the magic weapons in the store and let the thieves choose for themselves? Maybe the loss will be smaller?"
Xu Zhenfeng asked.
Manager Wu nodded helplessly, "No matter how the magic tools in Jingmiao Pavilion are placed, they will be found. Sometimes the thieves will destroy them even if they don't steal them. We really have no way to deal with it."
When Xu Zhenfeng heard this, he suddenly felt familiar. This kind of style?
How to be with...
He turned his head and glanced at Big Bear.
Xiong Da said quickly: "We Xiong... family are not good at stealing."
His words startled Manager Wu.
Xu Zhenfeng quickly added, "My brother Xiong's family is also good at the art of invisibility. If they don't know this art, then other human cultivators can't have it."
Manager Wu nodded, "So that's why the Confucian Saint suggested that we find a way to deal with the monsters. Now that Manager Zhao has invited two experts here, they will naturally be able to help our store solve this problem."
After saying this, he, as a heavenly-rank cultivator, actually bowed deeply to Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da.
Xu Zhenfeng was not surprised. A magic weapon was stolen every other day. No one could tolerate this, not even a wealthy family like Jingmiao Pavilion.
He now only regretted that he was so short-sighted at the time and agreed to come here to deal with the matter just for the sake of a Demon-Devouring Wheel.
