From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"It's been so long! Haha!"

"You too, longhorn beetle!"

Even though they hadn't seen each other for sixty years, they recognized each other at first glance and gave each other a big hug.

“These are my family members.”

The longhorn beetle introduced his daughter and the disciples he had taken on.

"These are my family members, and also my father's friends. They are all remarkable mages." My father then introduced Chen Long, Xiao Yu, Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying.

"A mage?"

In an instant, the longhorn beetle's smile faded slightly...

# Chapter 837 Magical Makeup

Mentioning "magician," the longhorn beetle's smile faded slightly. He glanced at Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, sighed, and said to his father, "Old man, haha, we studied at the same magic theater back then. You were the most talented one, and also the most hardworking one."

But in the end, you abandoned the magical drama halfway through and went to learn other kinds of magic instead...

I didn't stop you then.

But for all these years, I've never understood why you would give up the magic that brings joy to humanity. You clearly know best how to make people happy.

"Because I discovered a more important mission..."

The old man wouldn't reveal the specifics, fearing it would drag his old friend into the struggle between the righteous and the wicked.

"Never mind, you've always been like this anyway, but I'm still very happy to see you again." The longhorn beetle gave its father another hug.

"Thank you for your understanding, my old friend."

The old man was also glad that his old friend hadn't broken off relations with him.

"Oh, this thing didn't seem to be this heavy before."

Just as his father and the longhorn beetle were rekindling their childhood friendship, Jiang Liu's ears twitched. He overheard the conversation of the "bandits" who were moving the model cow. With his keen eyes, he noticed the various antiques, jewelry, and other valuables inside. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at his father and the longhorn beetle without making a sound, and said to his father, "Father, we won't disturb your reunion."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Long, patted Xiao Yu's head, and called the two of them to walk out of the theater together.

"What happened?"

Chen Long asked, "Have you discovered other members of the Black Hand Gang?"

“Lasu, Afen, and Zhou fled after Afu was defeated. I’m looking for you for other things.”

The words fell.

With his keen eye, Jiang Liuxin's inner vision connected with the four people's inner vision, allowing him to take in everything in the theater and observe the various antiques stored in the model cow.

"cool!"

Xiaoyu became increasingly interested in Qi cultivation. "You actually possess such an ability? Wait, do you have X-ray vision?"

In an instant, Xiaoyu blushed and covered her body.

But nobody cares about that.

"Those are... the jade carvings that were lost from the museum! And the Egyptian pharaoh's bracelet! And a whole bunch of ancient vases, jade pots, and so on from China."

Chen Long's tone turned serious, and he clenched his fists. "They're thieves! I received a communication from the museum earlier that some artifacts were missing..."

They stole it!

I have to tell Dad that his friend is a notorious thief and he must be brought to justice!

As a consultant for the museum, Chen Long, in addition to researching antiques and promoting China's history and culture, is dedicated to sending these antiques back to China.

In a reasonable and appropriate manner.

During this period, he also had the responsibility to protect these antiques from being stolen... This was an obligation he set for himself.

"No wonder Xiaozhu is the champion!"

Xiaoyu was indignant. "So that old man was blind! Dad must have been kept in the dark! They haven't seen each other for over sixty years. Who knew that a former classmate would become a criminal?"

"With a straightforward nature and upright Qi, the longhorn beetle could not be the mastermind."

This is why Jiang Liu called them out: "His disciples must have secretly used the magic meant for the performance to steal."

"Then let's go remind Dad."

As soon as Chen Long turned around, Jiang Liu pressed down on his shoulder, making him feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. No matter how he tried to move, he couldn't break free.

"Don't rush, Uncle Long. The thief is inside the theater, and the stolen goods are in that model cow. If we act rashly, we might alert him."

Jiang Liu offered his explanation: "Also, Longniu Chong is Dad's friend. You barged in so recklessly. Dad... I can tell he respects his old friend very much and will definitely side with Longniu Chong. At least until he catches you red-handed, he will absolutely not allow you to search."

"As for me, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, we are only temporarily residing with you, so it's not appropriate for us to interfere in this matter."

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Chen Long looked grim. His sense of justice wouldn't allow him to let the antique thief get away with it, but how could he convince his father?

Sneaking in?

That's so impolite!

"Let me think of something, you guys take Xiaoyu first..."

Speaking of Xiaoyu, Chen Long couldn't see her anywhere. He covered his head and exclaimed, "Where's Xiaoyu?"

"Oops!"

"She must have gone to find evidence!"

Watching Chen Long run towards the theater, Lu Jin said, "If I had such a disobedient niece in the future, I would also have a headache."

I don’t know if you’ll have a niece in the future, but you’ll definitely have a great-granddaughter.

Jiang Liu put his arm around Lu Jin's shoulder and said with a smile, "Her name is Lu Linglong. She looks cute and innocent, but in my opinion, she also has a natural cunning, just like you."

Lu Jin: "..."

Duanmu Ying said, "With your abilities, if you wanted to, Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to escape at all, right? Why?"

"You know what? Sometimes, when kids are a little naughty, they can inadvertently solve problems that adults can't handle."

Dad didn't want to embarrass the longhorn beetle?

Chen Long couldn't conduct the search?

simple!

Why doesn't Xiaoyu go?

They're just kids!

curious!

naughty!

It's perfectly normal. Afterwards, they'll give her a few words of advice, or at most put her in solitary confinement. They can't possibly send her to prison.

of course.

Another reason is that everything is under Jiang Liu's control, and he will never allow Xiao Yu's life to be threatened.

And now-

"So what do we do next?" Lu Jin asked.

"Go back to Dad's antique shop and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."

Jiang Liu activated his clairvoyance, looked in the direction where Lasu and the others had left, and then glanced at the two "thieves" emerging from the theater roof. He deduced the most likely future and grinned, "Catch the thieves."

···

···

"Ah Fu has been arrested, are we just going to ignore it?"

Outside the theater, on the street.

Lasu asked Afen, "And we didn't get any Hanafuda cards from Chen Long either."

“The situation has changed, Rasu.”

The person who answered was Zhou, "Didn't you see that Chen Long's fighting skills are already enough to defeat Afu head-on? He also has two helpers; we can't beat him."

Swah——

As they were discussing, two dark figures swept over their heads, jumped onto a utility pole, stepped on the wires, and ran towards a nearby museum.

"They're from the theater!"

The trio of gangsters also watched the final scene. Rasu immediately recognized the two men. "They're 'thieves.' Are they going to steal something?"

“If they’re going to steal, then we can join in the fun and take their stolen treasure,” A-Fen said. “It’ll help us accumulate more wealth so we can live a luxurious life in the future. What do you say?”

Rasu: "Good idea."

Zhou: "That's a good idea."

At the same time.

Xiaoyu entered the theater, went backstage, found the dressing room, and found a box of makeup cream in front of the dressing table. She opened it and found white powder cream inside.

Xiaoyu reached out and applied a little, and found that the Qi in her body flowed to the white powder paste on its own. Then, her fingers, which had been coated with the powder paste, could pass through the mirror.

"Magic makeup, this trick is really a great help for stealing!"

As she muttered to herself, Xiaoyu scooped up a handful of face powder, smeared it on her face and body, and then crept underground to find the model cow, hoping to catch the longhorn beetle red-handed...

# Chapter 838 The Role of Mischief

"Dad!"

At this moment, Chen Long ran back to the theater, looking anxious. But when he saw the longhorn beetle, he didn't know what to say. He could only keep gesturing with his fingers and pawing at his mouth, hoping to have a private talk with his father.
