87: Chapter 87 Aren't you a cat? What are you stealing these for?

Gu Qingyi's temper was famously fiery within Qingxin Palace.

Once, a newly joined Disciple who thought highly of his talent wanted to pursue Gu Qingyi.

Pursuing her wasn't an issue.

But his mistake was getting his positioning wrong from the very start.

Before things had even begun, he already considered himself Gu Qingyi's man.

Calling her "my wife" with every breath.

As a result, he completely infuriated Gu Qingyi.

She pinned him to the ground and gave him a severe beating; if Palace Master hadn't intervened, she likely would have severed his "root of trouble" on the spot.

In the end, that Disciple was so terrified of Gu Qingyi that he directly left the Sect.

This incident spread throughout the entire Sect.

Who would have thought someone would still dare to mess with her, the Eldest Disciple?

Truly a dog drooling, driven mad by the desire for filth!

Furthermore, Gu Qingyi possessed the Exquisite Heart.

With her sharp Divine Sense, she could detect ordinary people within thirty meters of her.

This thief was able to silently steal her undergarments from right under her nose.

They really did have some skill!

“Preposterous!”

Palace Master's face darkened, and the Spiritual Qi around her surged.

“My Qingxin Palace is a prestigious and righteous Sect. How can we allow such petty scoundrels to insult us like this!”

“Investigate!”

“A thorough investigation is mandatory!”

“Even if we have to turn over every inch of soil in Qingxin Palace, we must drag this thief out!”

“If I catch them, I will certainly extract their soul and refine their essence to make an example of them!”

...

Palace Master personally presided over an Elder meeting and issued a strict order to capture the thief with all their might.

The entire Sect was shaken.

“What? You were also targeted by that lecher...”

“I thought I was the only one!”

“Our Qingxin Palace is a grand and righteous Sect, yet there is such a lowly person among us. They must be severely punished!”

“Obey the Palace Master's order! Capture the thief at all costs!”

Led by Gu Qingyi and two Law Enforcement Elders, they began a massive search within the Sect.

Regardless of gender or age, everyone was a subject of the search.

News of this soon reached Wang Ming's ears.

“An Underwear Thief?”

Wang Ming held Fang Qingxue in his arms, eating a grape she fed him, his eyes flickering slightly.

He thought back to earlier.

He had smelled a feminine fragrance on the bag Little White brought back.

“The Palace Master has already ordered Senior Sister Gu Qingyi to search every Disciple's Immortal Cave.”

“If there's even a hint of suspicion, Senior Sister can directly seize them.”

“Until everything is cleared up.”

Fang Qingxue leaned lazily against Wang Ming's shoulder.

In her heart, she felt immense contempt for that thief.

Lustful heart, but no courage!

What's the point of stealing these external items?

It's just treating the symptoms, not the cause!

If it were her...

Fang Qingxue glanced at Wang Ming from the corner of her eye, a slight curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

She would just burn her bridges and pursue love to the very end!

“You go back first. I've suddenly had an insight and need to enter seclusion immediately.”

Wang Ming patted Fang Qingxue.

Fang Qingxue had been by Wang Ming's side all this time.

With one pat, she immediately understood Wang Ming's meaning.

Right then, she hugged Wang Ming and greedily inhaled his scent.

Only then did she reluctantly depart.

“Little White.”

After Fang Qingxue left, Wang Ming called out softly.

A white light flashed.

“Meow?”

Little White appeared in Wang Ming's arms, licking him frantically.

“Stop!”

“Go and bring out that bag of yours.”

Wang Ming grabbed Little White by the scruff of the neck and said with a stern face.

“Meow!”

Little White looked as if its tail had been stepped on, a human-like nervousness appearing on its face.

“What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'?”

“What's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine!”

“If you hand it over voluntarily now, I might even reward you with a few Spirit Stones.”

“But if I have to do it myself...”

“All future Spirit Stones will be canceled, and you'll eat the leftovers of whatever the Sect's Spirit Beasts eat.”

Wang Ming pulled out a few Spirit Stones and toyed with them in his hand.

He looked like he was in no hurry if the cat wasn't.

Little White was truly anxious now.

It scurried to the ground, hopping and jumping.

Meow-protest!

Cats have cat-rights too!

“Protest?”

“So, you want to taste the Spirit Beasts' leftovers?”

“Fine, since you insist, I'll grant your wish...”

Wang Ming stood up and was about to take a step.

Whoosh!

Little White flew under the bed and brought out a bag in its mouth, placing it before Wang Ming.

“Meow!”

It looked at Wang Ming with innocent and pleading eyes.

“He who understands the times is a wise man. Bai Junjie, go eat your Spirit Stones.”

Wang Ming chuckled, flicking his finger as several Spirit Stones landed in front of Little White.

Little White immediately pounced on them happily.

However, it didn't eat them all; instead, it rolled its eyes and sneakily hid a few.

This old geezer is very wicked.

Must keep some emergency rations.

Just in case he really cuts off its food supply one day, it won't starve to death.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

With a thought from Wang Ming, the cloth bag opened on its own.

Colorful bellybands fell out.

Wang Ming was completely stunned on the spot.

He looked at Little White in utter shock, "No way... It really was you who stole them?!"

“Aren't you a freaking cat?”

“Why did you steal these things?”

“Do you even know how to use them?”

He was truly speechless.

He never expected that the Underwear Thief who threw the entire Sect into chaos...

Was actually Little White!

The key point was, unless instructed by its Revered Master, who would believe an innocent kitten would do such a thing?

In the end, wouldn't he, the Revered Master, be the one to take all the blame?!

If the title of Underwear Thief was truly pinned on him, how could he continue to stay in Qingxin Palace?

Knock, knock, knock!

“Junior Brother, open the door.”

“I am here on Revered Master's orders to search for clues about the thief.”

Gu Qingyi's voice came from outside the door.

Wang Ming's brows shot up instantly.

Speak of the devil.

Immediately, he waved his hand and swept all the bellybands on the floor into his system space.

After a moment's hesitation, he scattered a handful of fragrant powder.

Instantly, the entire room was filled with an elegant fragrance.

Only after doing all this did he wave his hand to open the door.

“Thief?”

“What thief?”

He asked, feigning ignorance.

“There's a bad person in the Sect.”

Gu Qingyi didn't explain much, her gaze sweeping into the room.

“What's this smell?”

She frowned slightly.

“Aloeswood. It has a calming effect on the mind.”

Wang Ming raised his hand, and the teapot on the table flew up automatically, pouring a cup of hot tea that then flew to Gu Qingyi.

“This is an ancient tea from my collection; it has a similar effect. Try it.”

Gu Qingyi glanced at Wang Ming, took the tea, and took a small sip.

A misty sensation spread through her body from her mouth.

Making her already calm mind even more peaceful.

She nodded and looked at Wang Ming, “I need to search your room. Please cooperate.”

“Be my guest.”

Wang Ming made a gesture of invitation and stepped aside.

After a search, there was naturally no result.

But Gu Qingyi thought back to what Wang Ming had done to her in the Dayan Secret Realm.

She strongly suspected that the underwear thefts in the Sect most likely had everything to do with Wang Ming.

There was just no evidence.

“For the personal safety of the Sect's female Disciples, this search includes not only every Disciple's Immortal Cave...”

“...but also requires checking their storage Magical Artifacts.”

Gu Qingyi stared at Wang Ming without blinking.

Wanting to see if a panicked expression would appear on Wang Ming's face.
