Qi Baoer looked at the girl in front of him in bewilderment, who was already smelling all over her body, "Little old man, where did you get this?"
She had just sent the one in the palace away with her front leg, and now she was given such a big surprise by her back leg.
What was surprising was not the person he brought back, but...
"When did you join the Xuanmen Guild?"
There has always been a Xuanmen Guild in the capital, and there are people in the Xuanmen Guild such as Shangqing Sect and Fahua Temple. It is important to mention that the president is from the imperial court, but the imperial court does not care about the affairs of the Xuanmen Guild.
To put it simply, the royal family had actually used methods to involve Xuanmen and the imperial court for a long time. However, the imperial court did not control Xuanmen, but approached the relationship between the two parties through cooperation.
Qi Baoer has never had contact with people from the Xuanmen Guild because the people from the Xuanmen Guild have never included her in their list of available personnel.
It’s not that I look down upon it, but that I can’t afford it.
With the existence of gods, Xuanmen is much inferior to gods. When Qi Baoer was young, he was invited to the capital by the late emperor as a little god. How could the Xuanmen Guild dare to have any thoughts about her?
This is not to boast, but there is a serious gap between the two sides.
That's why she was very surprised that a little old man who was no weaker than her would join the Xuanmen Guild.
The little old man's eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at Qi Bao'er, "I'm not poor. Only after I join the Xuanmen Guild can I take on the tasks in the Xuanmen Guild. I can earn hundreds of taels from any single order."
Didn't all of his valuables have been taken away by some heartless people? And he didn't have the nerve to complain about his own fault, so he had to find a way to earn some money outside.
It is said that it is really easy to make money in the Xuanmen in the capital. He is not exaggerating. It is true that the cheapest orders are only a few hundred taels, and only the newbies in the Xuanmen will take the orders of a hundred taels.
Qi Bao'er didn't ask any more questions. She didn't need her to decide what the other party should do since the little old man was old. Besides, since he earned more, wouldn't she be able to get more when she found a reason to take it in the future?
Pointing to the person on the ground, "What is going on?"
Seeing that his apprentice had no intention of arguing with him, the little old man hurriedly told her what happened in the evening.
The little old man just joined the Xuanmen Guild today, and he received the first order in the evening. One of the foreigners had a powerful evil spirit hiding in his house. Two groups of people from the Xuanmen Guild have already been to the Xuanmen Guild, but they couldn't do anything about the evil spirit. They offered a reward of money.
From the initial five hundred taels, it has risen to one thousand, five hundred taels.
To the little old man, the little fierce ghost level was equivalent to one thousand five hundred taels for nothing. The little old man who had money in his pocket was so happy that he didn't choose to flash back when he came back, but he looked at it everywhere and found it pleasing to the eye.
I walked slowly all the way to the inner city.
Then I came across the scene at the end of the previous chapter, where a man who was obviously a living person but looked more like a ghost than an ordinary ghost was chasing a dirty girl.
How could this little old man just sit idly by and ignore the situation? He stepped forward to rescue the little girl without a second thought, and also kidnapped the inhuman man back.

"Where did this come from?" Mother Liu was startled and did not immediately pick it up. This was ten taels of silver.
Even Liu Chengfeng was startled, but he was calmer than Liu's mother. He guessed that this must be something his father had done to attract people's attention, and it was rewarded by a distinguished guest in the family.
Sure enough, Liu's father smiled and handed the silver to Liu's mother again, "Don't worry, take it, the noble will reward it."
"What did you do that the noble man rewarded you with so much?" When she heard that it was the noble man who rewarded her, Mother Liu put aside her panic and put the money away, but she still couldn't help but ask.
The main reason is that the fingers of this group of overnight guests are too loose, and after repeated attempts, it doesn't feel so scary anymore.
Father Liu was also puzzled by this question, "I don't know why you rewarded me. The doctor from Hongjia Village is obviously not here. He just happened to leave the village early this morning."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family is from Hongjia Village. Two months ago, a traveling doctor accidentally broke his leg while collecting medicine in the back hill of Hongjia Village. She was rescued by Mr. Hong, the man next door to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
Mr. Hong's family was also kind-hearted. After knowing that the other party was a wandering doctor with no fixed abode and no money in his pocket, they did not send him away but kept him at home to recuperate.
You Yi is too embarrassed to eat for nothing. No family in the village is rich. Old Hong's family has a population no less than that of the Liu family. They still live on a few acres of land even though they don't know how to hunt. Every day is tight. If he opens his mouth again,
The children at home are going hungry, not to mention that he needs money for medicine for his injured leg.
So the traveling doctors would treat people in the village. Those who had money would give some money, and those who didn't have money could bring some food to the doctor.
Doctor You has good medical skills, at least better than the doctors in the county medical clinic. Usually, a dose of medicine can cure minor ailments. There is also a grandmother in Hongjia Village who has been coughing for a lifetime [consumption]. He gave the medicine to treat it, and now it is all gone.
Basically no more coughing.
As a result, his reputation spread, and when people from all over the surrounding villages got sick, they no longer went to the county town, but went to Hongjia Village to find a traveling doctor.
But Doctor You only injured his leg and was recuperating in Hongjiacun. No, he left after the injury was healed.
After listening to Father Liu's words, Mother Liu immediately took out another ten taels of silver from her arms and stuffed it into Father Liu's hand and pushed him out of the kitchen.
"After everything is done, why do you have the nerve to accept the reward? We can't do this. Take the money and return it to the noble man."
People must be content and cannot be greedy, otherwise sooner or later they will be harmed by their own greed.
Liu's father held the door open with a grimace and refused to move, "You old woman, am I the one who doesn't know what to do? I said I didn't want it, and the noble man forced it on me."
Liu's mother gave Liu's father a hard slap on the back, "Who are you lying to? There are some forced money. Who thinks there is too much money?"
"No, how could I lie to you, what kind of person am I?" Liu's father had no choice but to blink at his youngest son for help.
When Liu Chengfeng received the signal, he stood up with a smile and advised Liu's mother, "Mom, please accept the money. The noble man gave it to dad. If you return it, you won't be slapping the noble man in the face."
Mother Liu thought the same thing. In her impression, those who could be called nobles had bad tempers. If their intentions were good but they were misunderstood and they suffered disaster, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
He took back the money again, but he still felt uneasy. He pouted and told Liu Chengfeng to bury Liu's father, "Look at your father, just a small thing like leading the way has caused so many troubles."
"Don't worry, Mom, everything will be fine."
The person Liu's mother trusted the most was her youngest son, who was the head catcher. She felt a lot more at ease after hearing his words of assurance.
At this time, Liu's father walked in as if he had remembered something and said in a low voice: "I think that young man named Jiu Fu is a bit unlike a normal person."
Sometimes it feels a bit girly, and sometimes it gives him a chilling feeling. In short, it's weird and he doesn't look like a good person.
Just when Liu Chengfeng was at the kitchen door, he also saw Jiu Fu coming in with his father. His father couldn't understand, but he recognized it at a glance. He was a eunuch.
It's not that he has fiery eyes or anything like that, but that he recognizes Jiu Fu.
