Chapter 029 Longevity Association [06] Soul asks: How did you get on the test?
"Don't yell, I just want to ask you something."
The shopkeeper was also a sensible person. After listening to Mo Qing's words, he became quiet. He just looked at Mo Qing with sad eyes full of accusations against her, "Why can't you say something properly to her, why do you act like you are seeking revenge?"
"If you have any questions, just ask." The shopkeeper was sincere and flattering, "It's this rope..."
"You mean this?"
Mo Qing turned his head and looked at his hand. As soon as he loosened his fingers, the rope immediately slipped from his palm, and the shopkeeper fell immediately, making him scream in shock.
When the shopkeeper was still one meter above the ground, Mo Qing's hand suddenly tightened, and the shopkeeper, who was falling rapidly, steadied himself.
"Do you want to loosen it?" Mo Qing asked with raised eyebrows.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost peed. He quickly said: "Don't let go, don't let go."
"Then it won't be loose."
Mo Qing slowly pulled the rope. The shopkeeper watched as he was getting further and further away from the ground. He was afraid of heights and could faint at any time.
On the other side, Jiang Ke, who saw everything Mo Qing did, was only surprised for a moment, then calmly walked to the tea table and started to play with the tea slowly.
"Boss Jiang..." The shopkeeper pitifully asked for help.
Jiang Ke raised his tea cup to him gracefully and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
Shopkeeper: "..."
He had no choice but to give up hope and asked Mo Qing in horror and frustration: "What on earth do you want to find out about, Miss?"
"Where did your Juyuan powder come from?" Mo Qing asked.
"Youngster, I really don't know."
"Yeah?"
Mo Qing asked lazily, loosening his grip on the rope one by one.
"Ah - I said it! I said it!" the shopkeeper said quickly.
"oh?"
When Mo Qing raised his eyes, his narrow eyes seemed to be smiling, but the dark eyes were cold and cold.
She met the shopkeeper's eyes, and she caught the cunning and smooth look in the shopkeeper's eyes. She let out a soft gasp, and suddenly let go of the rope. Before the shopkeeper fell to the ground, she grabbed the rope and pulled back.
After repeating this three times, the shopkeeper screamed in fright, his face turned pale, and he looked panicked.
"I said it! I really said it!"
At this time, the shopkeeper was scared out of his wits. How dare he hit Xiao Jiujiu and make up lies. His limbs went limp, he screamed, and he had no energy at all.
Mo Qing crossed her legs and leaned back on the chair leisurely: "Say."
"The person selling Juyuan powder came to me on his own initiative, and I was not the only agent he found!" The shopkeeper hurriedly confessed, "I really don't know anything else!"
"Be more detailed."
The shopkeeper licked his dry lips and organized his words: "She is a girl, not very old, definitely no more than twenty. She comes once a week, the time is variable, but it is always at night. She wraps herself up tightly every time,
Hat, sunglasses, mask, faceless.”
"continue."
"She should be working for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. But she is very familiar with the situation in the underground market. She knows that selling drugs can be resold to vendors through 'intermediaries', which is safe. As far as I know, nearly half of the intermediaries in the market are hired by her.
Found it."
"..."
Mo Qing remained silent.
"Her purpose should not be to make money. The price she sold to our agency was very low. The current price of Juyuan powder has been speculated after the market has verified its effect."
"Um."
Mo Qing nodded slightly.
The shopkeeper anxiously observed her reaction, beads of sweat dripping from his temples. After confirming that Mo Qing was not satisfied, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to continue to reveal the news.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the Immortality Society?" he asked tentatively.
Mo Qing said: "I have heard a little bit about it."
The shopkeeper understood the idea and immediately said: "This is a non-governmental organization, said to be 'pursuing longevity'. Since Juyuan Powder began to circulate, the Changsheng Association began to fully purchase Juyuan Powder, and is also looking for the whereabouts of the pharmaceutical manufacturer... I really
That’s all I know.”
After staring at him for three seconds, Mo Qing curled her lower lip, and finally slowly loosened the long rope and let him down.
The moment he landed on the ground, the shopkeeper finally felt at ease, but the next moment, his legs softened and he collapsed on the ground, trembling all over - purely out of fear.
"Thank you." Mo Qing clapped his hands and walked past the shopkeeper, adding at the end, "I wish the business a prosperous business."
Shopkeeper: qaq thank you.
At this time, Jiang Ke, who was silently watching a scene, stood up with satisfaction and prepared to leave.
The shopkeeper Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Boss Jiang, who is this lady..."
Jiang Ke lowered his thin eyelids and glanced at him coolly.
The shopkeeper stopped talking.
"I just came to sit around for a while. I didn't see any young lady." Jiang Ke said calmly.
"……yes."
The shopkeeper flinched and quickly agreed.

Mo Qing and Jiang Ke walked out of the grocery store one after another.
The sunset dyed half of the sky red, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast red light on this ancient building. The shop owner sat at the door with food to eat. Children ran past playfully on the street. The vendor selling candied haws walked past carrying straw sticks, and shadows fell one after another.
It was stretched very long on the smooth bluestone floor.
"I'll visit a few more, how about you?" Mo Qing asked Jiang Ke.
Jiang Ke didn't know how she used the word "visit" in such a high-sounding way. After a pause, he continued: "Go back and sell medicine."
"Okay." Mo Qing waved his hand, "Sister-in-law Chen doesn't have to prepare food for me."
The two separated.
When Mo Qing returned to Jiang's house, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Brothers Peng Zhong and Peng Ren were not here, so the villa was less lively. Aunt Chen was arranging flowers in the living room. When she saw Mo Qing, she quickly stepped forward and asked her if she wanted to eat.
night snack.
Mo Qing said no, and then asked: "Where is Jiang Ke?"
"At this moment, Mr. Jiang should be reading in the study." Sister-in-law Chen said, "Mr. Jiang asked me to prepare some supper. Why don't you take it and drink it with Mr. Jiang."
Mo Qing thought for a moment: "Okay."
Mrs. Chen stewed the chicken soup and put it in an earthen pot. She gave it to two bowls and put them on a tray. When she handed it to Mo Qing, she told her to drink it while it was hot. If you have any taste preferences, you can tell her.
Mo Qing agreed, went upstairs with chicken soup, and knocked on the study door.
Jiang Ke's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Mo Qing pushed the door open and saw Jiang Ke sitting at the desk reading.
It's obviously the same face, but he seems to be a different person at this moment. There is no trace of "Boss Jiang" in the afternoon. He is no different from when he is at home on weekdays. His temperament is cold and distant, and a sense of distance suddenly arises.
"Is there any progress over there?" Mo Qing walked over and asked casually.
Jiang Ke looked serious and asked: "What did you say?"
He looked like he had no idea what happened in the afternoon.
Mo Qing walked slowly to the opposite side of the desk, pressing her fingers as thin as white onions on the open pages of the book. She slowly bent down, and her hair brushed over her shoulders and fell in front of her.
She held the tray with one hand and leaned over to look at Jiang Ke, with a malicious look in her eyes: "Guess if this chicken soup is put on your head, will you wake up a little bit?"
Her body was covered with medicinal fragrance, and when she got close to her, the fragrance was light and refreshing.
Jiang Ke raised his eyes and looked from bottom to top, from her collarbone, neck, chin, and thin lips to her eyebrows and eyes, meeting her eyes. The breeze blew, and her hair fluttered, touching his cheek, making him feel a slight itch.
After a long while, Jiang Ke asked calmly: "How did you do in the monthly exam?"
"..."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
A hundred years ago, Mo Qing knew that "if you fall behind, you will be beaten" and she was learning every moment. At that time, she was Jiang Ke's pride.
A hundred years later, Mo Qing became the only blemish on the flawless character of Overlord Jiang Ke.
