Chapter 230: Chapter 227: Old Li Escapes to Find the Money Bag

"These gold pieces were picked up at the risk of my life, give them back to me!"

Old Li snatched the gold from Chu Yan’s hand, eyeing them guardedly.

Qin Zhao snorted coldly, "What’s the use of finding this gold? You’re a tomb robber, aren’t you still going to jail?"

Old Li’s face turned pale instantly; under the current circumstances, he had absolutely no chance to run away.

When they came, Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu first took a taxi to the suburbs of Imperial City, then reached the small town by taking a bus.

Chu Yan, however, had driven his own private car.

That Bentley exploded at Qi Ling’s doorstep, so he bought a new car later.

Chu Yan’s car was parked at the foot of the mountain, where he took the driver’s seat and Qin Zhao sat in the passenger’s seat.

Old Li and Shangguan Qiu sat in the back, and just as they settled in, Old Li suddenly cried out, "I need to use the toilet. I haven’t had a chance since entering the tomb, and I can’t hold it any longer."

"Hold it in, don’t pull any stunts on me."

Qin Zhao turned her head and gave him an icy look.

"But, I really can’t hold it! If you don’t let me go to relieve myself, I’ll have to urinate in his car. His car is expensive, isn’t it?" Old Li looked troubled.

This time, Chu Yan was driving a black Land Rover, with the interior seats made of high-grade, elegant burgundy leather; they indeed looked very expensive.

Hearing Old Li’s words, Chu Yan’s expression darkened instantly.

He spoke abruptly, "Get out."

Working as a doctor, one would have a bit of germophobia, and Chu Yan’s was worse than most. He tolerated climbing mountains and crawling through holes only because it involved Qin Zhao.

If not for Qin Zhao, he wouldn’t even dream of letting Old Li and Shangguan Qiu ride in his car.

"I’ll keep an eye on him."

Shangguan Qiu spoke as she saw Old Li getting out of the car.

"Miss, do you have to watch a grown man relieve himself by the roadside?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qiu stiffened.

Qin Zhao’s gaze turned even colder; she was sure Old Li was up to no good, but neither she nor Shangguan Qiu could possibly watch a man use the toilet, and having Chu Yan do it was even less likely.

However, even if they didn’t watch him, Qin Zhao wasn’t worried about him running away.

The Tracking Technique was still on Old Li’s body, so Qin Zhao said, "Shangguan, you don’t need to watch him, let him go by himself."

After speaking to Shangguan Qiu, Qin Zhao then told Old Li, "Just relieve yourself nearby, don’t go too far."

"I know. You guys are so powerful, there’s no way I can run!"

Old Li gave a bitter smile, then headed towards the roadside while unbuckling his belt.

On the other side were the continuous mountains, the place they had just descended from. And the direction Old Li walked to had a steep slope below, ending with the babbling of a stream.

Even if he wanted to run, there was nowhere for him to go.

Chu Yan took out a pack of wet wipes, then meticulously wiped his face and hands, and his hair too, since they had all gotten plenty of flour on them.

As for his clothes and trousers, he already wiped them down once outside the car.

He was just about to pass the wet wipes to Qin Zhao when he realized both she and Shangguan Qiu were very clean.

They both were more agile, and when Qu Chunbin, the man in the suit, threw the flour, they had barely gotten any on them. Later, they had used the Dust Cleaning Technique, so there was no flour on their bodies.

"How come there’s not a single speck of dust on your clothes?"

Chu Yan looked at Shangguan Qiu in surprise, noticing that both she and Qin Zhao were spotless.

"Dust Cleaning Technique."

Shangguan Qiu answered succinctly.

While Qin Zhao was eating teddy bear cookies, she ignored Chu Yan.

"What is the Dust Cleaning Technique?"

Chu Yan wanted Qin Zhao to answer him, so he snatched her teddy bear cookies away.

"It’s a cleansing spell that can remove dirt and grime from one’s body, something a mortal like you wouldn’t understand."

Qin Zhao glared at him, reaching to take back the tin can filled with teddy bear cookies.

But Chu Yan purposely swapped the tin can to his left hand, holding it out the car window, refusing to give it to her. As she lunged at it, Chu Yan took the opportunity to embrace her, laughing softly, "Then cast it on me."

"No!"

Qin Zhao tugged at his clothes, "Give me back my cookies!"

Chu Yan spoke somberly, "No."

Infuriated, she gritted her teeth, "Chu Yan! Are you asking for a beating?"

Chu Yan raised an eyebrow, relaxedly saying, "These are the teddy bear cookies I made. You won’t even perform such a simple spell for me, why would I let you eat them? I’m not giving them to you."

Qin Zhao then suppressed her anger, huffing lightly, "Fine, I’ll show you."

She snapped her fingers, and a warm, light turquoise spiritual power brushed over him like a spring breeze – fluttering and soft, a very comfortable sensation.

As the wrapping winds dispersed, his clothes became cleaner than they would have from a dry cleaner’s, with no strange smells. Even the flour-dirtied hair seemed as though it had been washed, now dry and soft.

Only then did Chu Yan hand the tin can back to Qin Zhao, pulling at his shirt to smell it.

Thinking of that strange power, capable of such miraculous uses, he lowered his eyelids slightly, his cold, narrow phoenix eyes flashing with a ghostly light.

No wonder some people would kill innocents just to possess such power.

This special ability was indeed fascinating.

The immense power granted one many privileges.

Lost in thought, Shangguan Qiu suddenly exclaimed loudly, "He jumped down!"

The three of them turned and saw Old Li, who had just stopped at the roadside to relieve himself, leap straight down the slope.

Qin Zhao quickly opened the car door, instantly arriving where Old Li had just been. Dense shrubbery grew on the slope, and the rolling figure of Old Li seemed to have fallen into some hole, suddenly vanishing.

"I knew he’d run, what do we do now?"

"The Tracking Technique is still active."

Qin Zhao spoke calmly, "Let’s not catch him just yet, let’s follow him secretly. I have a feeling that just now he and Ye Qian didn’t tell the truth, they’re hiding something important."

"Alright, this information might be related to the greed soul. The people who have had contact with the Swallowing Elephant are only a few of us. Since the greed soul must attach to a human body, it’s very likely one of them."

When Old Li requested to take a quick pit stop, he had already thought about how to escape.

He had tomb-robbed in this area several times, so he knew the terrain well. The dark hole he rolled into led to the mountain’s interior, with an exit not far from the tomb.

After falling into the dark hole, Old Li first moved some rocks to block the entrance, to prevent Qin Zhao and the others from finding him.

Then, rubbing his hands together, he walked excitedly towards another exit.

The monster’s money bag was hidden near the place where Qu Chunbin had been rescued.

Ye Qian had already left, and he had thrown Qin Zhao and her team off his trail.

Now, this thing belonged only to him!

Eventually, with this treasure, he would leave Hua Country and live in Southeast Asia. No one would ever know he possessed such a treasure, and he could live like a tycoon in Southeast Asia!
