Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Dugu Zixi Shakes the Entire Army_1

After Shen Tianxing had arranged with the representatives from various sects that the Spiritual Wine would go on sale next month, she prepared to leave the Winery Building.

The five bottles of Spiritual Wine she had brought over this time had been reduced by two during the judging and public tasting sessions, leaving three bottles remaining.

Initially, Shen Tianxing wanted to leave Ya Wenzhen behind to take care of these three bottles of Spiritual Wine, but then she thought it would be too much trouble.

Shen Tianxing discussed with Sheng Jingtong and Lu Zhengchen and decided to take the three bottles back with her. When it was time to attend the International Wine Festival in Eternal City, she would bring the Spiritual Wine and join them on the trip to Eternal City.

Sheng Jingtong and Lu Zhengchen were only too happy to agree to Shen Tianxing’s suggestion.

The previous bottles of Spiritual Wine had been stolen, and they hadn’t been able to find the thief. Even though they had reported the theft to the police, how could these mystical beings be caught by ordinary national police?

In the end, the responsibility for the lost wine still fell on their shoulders.

Although Shen Tianxing had said that they weren’t responsible and that she would catch the culprit, they still felt guilt and self-reproach in their hearts, feeling that they hadn’t done right by her.

Owing someone a debt of gratitude like this was actually the hardest to repay.

So, when Shen Tianxing suggested taking the Spiritual Wine with her, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Escorted warmly by Sheng Jingtong, Lu Zhengchen, and others, Shen Tianxing got into the luxury car driven by Ya Wenzhen.

After leaving the Winery Building, Shen Tianxing didn’t instruct Ya Wenzhen to go home but instead gave her the address of a small town in the suburbs.

Through her calculations, the thief who had stolen her Spiritual Wine was now in this suburban town.

The thief’s name was Ji San, and from a young age, he had no interest in studying. His parents died in an accident when he was thirteen or fourteen.

With no one to supervise him, he dropped out of school without even finishing middle school and started to mingle in society.

In one incident, he was beaten half to death and thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough not only to survive but also to stumble upon the secret manuscripts of the Thief Sect.

After three years of hard training in the mountains, he had his revenge, stealing all their money and gathering evidence against them, eventually sending them to prison.

Having avenged himself, Ji San started a life of cultivation while robbing from the rich and aiding the poor, living quite freely and at ease.

Ji San generally targeted corrupt officials and ruthless rich merchants, stealing their money and account books. He would also leave a note warning them that if they dared report to the police, he would hand over the account books to the public security or disciplinary inspection authorities, ensuring they couldn’t escape the consequences.

Some of the despicable people he robbed, unwilling to let it go, had hired others to secretly investigate Ji San, wanting to kill him.

But Ji San was as cunning as a fox, never leaving any trace or handle for anyone to grab, and despite all their efforts, they were unable to find him.

This time, it would have been impossible for Shen Tianxing to find him if not for her Heavenly Eye and her divine calculation abilities.

When Shen Tianxing found Ji San, the guy was holding a wine bottle, lying on the couch and snoring away.

Shen Tianxing kicked him twice, and he didn’t even wake up.

Taking advantage of his deep sleep, Shen Tianxing instantly read Ji San’s memories.

After witnessing the brief, less than twenty-year life journey of Ji San, Shen Tianxing fell silent.

This Ji San was truly talented!

His life was indeed grand, he was cunning, skilled with the Thief Sect’s techniques, and also a Cultivator. If used properly, he could indeed be a valuable ally.

Furthermore, Shen Tianxing was someone who enjoyed robbing the rich to help the poor, and she also liked the philanthropic deeds that Ji San had been doing.

Shen Tianxing decided to keep this Ji San and make him her subordinate.

Seeing Ji San sleeping so soundly and contentedly, Shen Tianxing didn’t want to disturb him. She just left a hypnotic command in his brain, ordering him to find her at the villa in the campus area after he woke up and to inform him that she was the owner of the Spiritual Wine.

Ji San was quite good-looking, resembling a pure and innocent young man.

Just by looking at his appearance, one would never suspect that he was the thief who caused many corrupt officials and crooked businessmen to shudder with fear.

Leaving the suburban house where Ji San resided, Shen Tianxing had Ya Wenzhen drive her back to the Royal Academy.

Shen Tianxing hadn’t returned to the school when her phone began to ring.

She took it out to see it was Dugu Zixi calling. He quickly said to her, "Xiaoxing, I’ve just taken on an urgent mission and have to lead the team out immediately. I might be gone for a few days. During this time, be careful yourself."

In recent years, it was common for Dugu Zixi to lead missions.

As long as he was there, no mission was unsolvable.

In just a few years, he had accumulated a plethora of military accolades and numerous medals of honor.

The Hidden Dragon Special Operation Group he personally established was revered throughout the national military.

Now, there wasn’t a single person in the national military who didn’t respect him. Mentioning Dugu Zixi’s name would elicit utmost reverence.

Hearing that he had another mission, Shen Tianxing was not surprised, but she gently instructed him, "Go with ease, I’ll be careful, and you must also take good care of yourself. Come back safely to me, and don’t you dare get hurt, you hear?"

Dugu Zixi, hearing the commanding tone of her final word of concern, couldn’t help the softness that tugged at his heart and replied with a gentle laugh, "Okay, I’ll definitely come back unharmed! Xiaoxing, wait for me to return!"

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Shen Tianxing to respond and promptly hung up.

He was afraid that if he didn’t hang up, he would want to keep talking to her.

This kind of separation was the most agonizing.

Even if they were only apart for a few days, both he and she felt as though they would be separated for a long time—always experiencing a sense of heaviness and discomfort.

Although Shen Tianxing had a lot of confidence in Dugu Zixi’s capabilities, she couldn’t help but worry and care for him whenever he went on a mission, fearing for his safety.

Only when he returned to her side and she could see him every day could Shen Tianxing feel at ease.

The love and longing they had for each other were the same.

Upon returning home to the villa in the campus area, Shen Tianxing had no mood for anything. After sending Ya Wenzhen off to rest, she lazily slumped on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.

Just then, her phone rang again.

Shen Tianxing looked at it and saw it was a call from the Dugu Family, surely from Grandfather Dugu or Granny Dugu.

Shen Tianxing pressed the answer button and had just said "Hello" when she heard Granny Dugu’s voice, "Xiaoxing, today’s a weekend, right? Are you done with your tasks? If you’re done, come home for dinner!"

Shen Tianxing glanced at the time; it was almost three in the afternoon, and she had no other matters at hand, so she said to Granny Dugu, "Granny, then I’ll come back for dinner in a while."

"Good, good, Granny will wait for you to come home then!"

"Okay. Goodbye, Granny!"

"Goodbye!"

At that moment, in the Dugu family’s living room, an elderly lady about the age of Granny Dugu was seated there, earnestly taking Granny Dugu’s hand and saying, "Ruyu, I’ll have to count on you then!"
