After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1158: Who in Their Right Mind Would Sell Goods at a Stall?

Time passed slowly, and Yin Shuo watched helplessly as Yin Hua walked in circles. After five minutes, he could no longer hold back and turned to ask Li Yuanming, "What is Grandpa doing?"

Li Yuanming rubbed his chin and said, "Probably sweeping the floor. He's really diligent."

Yin Shuo: "..." You must be kidding. He's clearly trapped by the formation!

The butler was also getting anxious. The old man had been stuck in there for almost ten minutes now. From their perspective, he was just walking in circles, like a headless fly. Didn't they say this formation was simple? This doesn't match the old man's abilities at all.

Five more minutes passed, and the butler couldn't hold back anymore. He turned to Zhouzhou and asked, "Miss Zhouzhou, what's going on here?"

Zhouzhou responded, "I told you before. This formation is quite difficult."

The butler hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

Who would take her words seriously? She had just thrown a few stones on the ground and claimed it could trap his Master. Even now, after seeing it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.

Noticing his thoughts, Li Yuanming chuckled, "You're stunned, aren't you? I told you, my disciple is really something."

"Don't be fooled by how simple this formation looks," he pointed to a seemingly insignificant stone in the corner. "That's the one that changed the entire formation, flipping the life and death gates."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuo took a closer look and suddenly understood, but he still had a question. "But this shouldn't have trapped Grandpa for so long."

Flipping the life and death gates does make the formation harder to break, but his grandfather had seen this kind of thing before. How could it keep him trapped for so long?

Li Yuanming answered, "What if the life and death gates are constantly shifting?"

Just as one shift is solved, another occurs. No matter how fast he is at breaking the formation, he won't be able to keep up with its speed.

"Look more closely there..."

He pointed to the position of each stone and gave a detailed explanation.

Now even the butler, who didn't understand metaphysics, could grasp most of it. He looked at Li Yuanming with a mix of emotions.

Now he understood why people said Li Yuanming was a giant in theory but a disaster in practice. His theoretical knowledge was indeed impressive. The problem was, even though he sounded convincing, he couldn't pull it off himself.

In fact, it wasn't just him. This had been a puzzle even for Sanqing Temple's past leader since the days of Li Yuanming's master, and it wasn't clear until Zhouzhou came along.

In the end, it could only be attributed to fate. What other explanation was there?

A couple of minutes later, Yin Hua finally walked out of the formation.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted heavily.

The butler and Yin Shuo rushed forward to help him, but he pushed them away.

He walked slowly to Zhouzhou, his expression complicated.

After a few seconds, he suddenly stepped back, cupped his hands toward Zhouzhou, and said, "I lost."

His words were a bit regretful, but his expression was much more relaxed than before.

He lost, and he accepted it willingly.

It wasn't because he underestimated her, but because he truly wasn't as good as Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou quickly helped him up, avoiding him slightly. "Master Yin, you're the senior. There's no need for this."

"Besides, we agreed on three rounds, and we've only completed two."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua immediately smiled and then put on a stern face, "You little girl, are you mocking me? If I really lose this third round, then fine. But if I win, do you think I can still hold my head up in the Mystery Sects?"

"There's no such thing as a competition rule like that. It's best of three. I've already won."

"Fine, stop talking nonsense. I've lost. According to what we agreed, I'll take care of your Special Office."

"Special Action Office," Zhouzhou reminded him.

Yin Hua nodded, "Right, Special Action Office. What do you need me to do? Just say it."

He looked at her calmly, no longer the rigid figure from before. This change made Zhouzhou a little uncomfortable, and she glanced at Li Yuanming.

Noticing her little movement, Yin Hua smiled despite himself, "You think I'm going to back out, huh? I keep my word. Don't bother asking him."

Caught out, Zhouzhou quickly grinned and said, "You're overthinking it. I trust you completely! After all, you're one of the Twin Dragons of Mystery Sect, highly respected. You definitely have the reputation."

Yin Hua looked at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "If I went back on my word, wouldn't your master have to march through the streets, banging a drum, and calling me out?"

"That's not happening," Zhouzhou said. "I wouldn't let my master do that."

Yin Hua's face softened a little, but the next second, his expression darkened.

Zhouzhou said, "Why bother tiring my master out? I'm a hacker. I could just use a computer to spread the word, and everyone would know."

Yin Hua: "..." You're worse than Li Yuanming!

Li Yuanming burst out laughing, patted Zhouzhou on the back, and said approvingly, "That's my disciple! You're better than me already."

Yin Hua was about to explode from the shamelessness of the master-disciple duo. He threw up his sleeve and didn't want to talk to them anymore.

So shameless, what's there to be proud of!

They both learned bad habits from Li Yuanming. There's no hope for them!

He gritted his teeth but said nothing more. What did it matter to him what they did? He had no right to say anything.

Still, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Li Yuanming. For the first time, he looked him in the eye and said, "You're not bad."

No matter what the former leader of Sanqing Temple saw in him, in terms of teaching disciples, he really was better than Yin Hua.

At least he had taught Zhouzhou well.

Even if Zhouzhou's talent was exceptional, his efforts could not be ignored.

Li Yuanming was stunned. This was the first time he had heard Yin Hua praise him, and his eyes went wide.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out his phone, recording, "Say it again!"

Yin Hua: "..."

His face instantly darkened. He impatiently said, "Get lost, get lost!"

What's wrong with him?!

He just complimented him and now he's showing off. Someone like him doesn't deserve a compliment!

He couldn't be bothered to say another word. If he talked any longer, his life expectancy would be shortened.

He turned to Zhouzhou and said, "Come on, explain your Special Action Office to me in detail."

"Okay!"

Zhouzhou immediately agreed and hurriedly invited him to sit down, pouring him a cup of tea, before beginning her explanation.

"The Special Action Office exists mainly to cooperate with the police, helping them with things that ordinary people can't handle."

"Actually, you don't need to resist it too much. The work is the same; it's just that now there's an official unit for it. You'll get a job position and a salary. You won't have to worry about being chased by the city management if you set up a stall in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua frowned. "Who in their right mind from Mystery Sect would go set up a stall?"

Zhouzhou: "?"

What's with that dismissive tone!
