Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 182
When the great elder returned to the room, he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He walked over, opened the door and entered, but found that there was no one inside!
"Who?" The Great Elder called out vigilantly, "Come out!"

"Hehe, I haven't seen you so nervous for a long time." A deep voice sounded from the side, and the Great Elder turned his head to look, only to see a man covered in black robes appearing behind him.

"Are you still alive?" The Great Elder's face became more serious when he saw the person coming.

The black robe sat down unceremoniously, and poured himself a cup of tea: "Grand Elder, I haven't seen you for many years! Why don't you feel happy to see me at all!"

"How could you..." The Great Elder frowned, never expecting that the person who should have died is still alive.

His mood sank to the bottom in an instant, and he had even forgotten why this person was still alive after so many years.Back then, he had obviously killed him!

The man sneered: "Grand Elder, you are really cruel. Anyway, I also worked hard for you, but you actually attacked me in the end!"

When the Great Elder heard this, he cursed an idiot in his heart, but he quickly realized and asked, "What do you want to come to me for?"

"Of course it's reminiscing about the old days!" The man said flatly: "Elder, you must know that if you hadn't pushed me into that situation back then, maybe I wouldn't have survived!"

The man in black stood up, walked slowly to the Great Elder, and looked down at him: "Great Elder, just wait and see, I will destroy everything you care about!"

The elder's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the man in horror: "You dare to kill me! Don't forget, the life and death of the Holy Master is uncertain, and she may not be able to come back!"

"Hehe Holy Master?" He suddenly laughed: "Haven't you been assassinating Holy Master all the time? You said you sent people out to look for it, but only you know whether it is to seek or assassinate!"

"However, since you don't want Holy Master to come back so much, then I want to protect her to return to Holy Cult safely!"

After the man finished speaking, he disappeared in place.The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, and finally understood, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Damn it!"

The Great Elder hurriedly chased him out, but there was no trace of the man, as if what he saw just now was a hallucination.

The man looked back, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Hehe, Great Elder, don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I will let you lose what you want most!"

The Great Elder returned to the room, and angrily threw the things on the table to pieces.

As for the left and right protectors who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, they did not expect that the Great Elder would dare to assassinate the Holy Master privately. No wonder they have been unable to find the Holy Master. return.

The two left the Holy Church quietly, and they had to find the Holy Lord before the Great Elder.

In the courtyard, Lu Nanzhi finally couldn't stay still, and came to Zhang Qiu's booth to bask in the sun.

Zhang Qiu was lying on the chair with a relaxed and comfortable appearance, as if he was not disturbed by the outside world at all, he almost hummed a couple of little tunes.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Boss Zhang, are you so comfortable?"

Boss Zhang glanced up at her, and continued to look at the crystal clear jade pendant in his hand: "You are wrong, it is more comfortable than ever!"

Lu Nanzhi also imitated her and lay on the rocking chair, feeling the warm sun shining on his body, he was very lazy, and he was indeed not bad.

Suddenly, Lu Nanzhi opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the jade pendant in Zhang Qiu's hand, with a delicate plum blossom pattern engraved on his fingertips.

Sensing Lu Nanzhi's gaze, Zhang Qiu hurriedly put away the jade pendant in his hand.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Lu Nanzhi asked.

Boss Zhang smiled mysteriously: "It's okay if I tell you, but you promise me one thing."

"What do you want to do again? Hurry up and tell me where your jade pendant came from." Lu Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Okay, okay, this jade pendant was left by a mysterious person, and I was just thinking about how to get rid of it." Zhang Qiu shook the jade pendant in his hand, looking like a good thing.

Lu Nanzhi squinted his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind, this jade pendant looks very ordinary, even with a bit of shabby taste, but it is the best, the most important thing is that the plum blossom on it is rare.

She couldn't help but think of what Shen Lanze said to her last time, plum blossoms are the flowers of the holy religion, and this kind of jade pendant with plum blossoms is rare, which made her a little suspicious. The owner of this jade pendant is a member of the holy religion.

She tentatively asked: "You don't want to exchange this jade pendant for money?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Qiu nodded seriously: "You help me sell it, and I will pay you."

"I refuse!" Lu Nanzhi said immediately.

What a joke, although this jade pendant is not too expensive, it is by no means cheap. Besides, she still wants to see who the owner of the jade pendant is.

Lu Nanzhi said with a serious expression: "To be a human being, you must be willing to pick up gold, and this jade pendant must be returned to your owner."

"You, why are you so serious, just pay it back." Zhang Qiu was startled by her serious look.

It's a pity that Lu Nanzhi waited all afternoon without waiting for anyone. Until it was almost dark, a man in black robe came over and said coldly, "I left something on your booth."

"Hey, you still know how to come and pick it up. Let's see when it's here. If it wasn't for you, I would have closed the stall a long time ago! Don't worry if you lose something. I don't think you want this jade pendant at all!" Zhang Qiu put his hands on the jade pendant. Chest, looking at the person covered by the black robe, his eyes were full of anger.

The man in black robe was not angry because of Zhang Qiu's verbal attack, he just handed her a wooden box and said, "This is my thank you gift, please return the jade pendant to me."

After speaking, the man in black stretched out his palm, wanting to take back what belonged to him.

Lu Nanzhi came over with the jade pendant, "Is this the jade pendant you are talking about?"

"Yes."

The man in black reached out to snatch it, but Lu Nanzhi dodged it.

"I don't know where you bought this jade pendant, sir. I like it very much. I want to buy one as a gift for my friend. I don't know if you can tell me." Lu Nanzhi asked with a smile.

The man's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "No comment."

"That can't be done." Lu Nanzhi shook his head and said, "I don't think you are short of money, but your jade pendant looks very special. I really want to buy it for a friend."

The man in black slowly lowered his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me to return the jade pendant again!"

Zhang Qiu sensed that something was wrong with the voice of the man in black, and immediately pulled Lu Nanzhi over and said, "Hurry up and return the jade pendant, he doesn't look like a good person."

Lu Nanzhi clutched the jade pendant nervously. He had asked Wushuang to go back and inform Shen Lanze and the Fifth Prince that they must hold the person in front of them before they came.

"Young master, let me tell you the truth, in fact, I..."

Before Lu Nanzhi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a gust of wind, and a powerful force instantly surrounded her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Her face was pale, and she looked at him in astonishment, how could it be...

The man in black's eyes were cold: "Don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, you will die."
