"Sir, what are you doing?"
Being suddenly stopped by Chu Qinghe, the owner of the tailor shop was bewildered, not understanding how he had angered Chu Qinghe.
After taking in the astonished and puzzled look of the tailor shop owner in front of him, Chu Qinghe revealed a smile.
"Don't misunderstand me, shopkeeper. It's just that this thing of mine is special. Please call the craftsman over so that I can personally supervise the sewing."
This black jade silk is special in itself, so to be on the safe side, Chu Qinghe thought it would be better to keep it under his own eyes.
After hearing Chu Qinghe's request, the owner of the tailor shop was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly.
"Well, please wait a moment, sir."
After saying this, the owner of the tailor shop instructed the servants behind him to bring a few craftsmen with their tools to the shop.
Chu Qinghe kept his eyes on the owner of the tailor shop who stayed beside him and greeted him as usual, and his face also maintained a spring-like smile.
He took the tea handed to him by the owner of the tailor shop, sniffed it lightly and drank a little.
After a few breaths, Chu Qinghe nodded to the smiling owner of the tailor shop beside him, but he muttered something in his heart.
"It has nothing to do with those guys outside?"
At the same time, Chu Qinghe's hands, which were naturally hanging down and covered by his sleeves, also relaxed.
After placing the teacup on the table, Chu Qinghe asked the owner of the tailor shop, "Excuse me, owner, where is the toilet?"
"Oh, in the backyard. I'll take you there."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper enthusiastically wanted to take Chu Qinghe to the toilet himself.
In response, Chu Qinghe politely declined and walked towards the backyard by himself.
When they reached the backyard, Chu Qinghe flicked his sleeves lightly.
Then the internal force began to flow slowly.
But what was strange was that as Chu Qinghe's internal energy was circulating rapidly, the fluctuations of this internal energy began to appear and disappear.
In just a few breaths, no internal force fluctuations could be detected from Chu Qinghe's body.
Facing the completely disappeared fluctuations of his internal energy at this moment, Chu Qinghe also had a smile on his face.
So, choice is sometimes very important.
Just like Chu Qinghe, when he chose this deputy position, he decisively chose master-level medical skills.
This master-level medical skill and the accompanying master-level poison technique provided Chu Qinghe with considerable help in both work and life.
In terms of value alone, it is even better than his current top-grade "Innate Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi".
When the fluctuation of internal force was completely concealed, Chu Qinghe glanced around and made sure that there was no one around. Then the sword energy under his feet burst out, pushing Chu Qinghe's body up suddenly and then over the backyard wall.
After entering the alley outside the wall, Chu Qinghe's speed suddenly increased and he rushed out of the alley in the backyard.
Dozens of breaths later, as Chu Qinghe moved and circled several streets, he actually came to the entrance of the street where the tailor shop was located from another street.
As Chu Qinghe raised his eyes , his gaze fell on the restaurant less than five meters away from the tailor shop.
On the second floor, I saw several women wearing long skirts and veils.
“So it was them?”
Originally, Chu Qinghe thought that he had encountered a similar incident as before in Li Dequan's shop, so he came out specifically to find out.
But after all this trouble, he found that the people following him were actually the disciples from the Shenshui Palace.
After confirming the other party's identity, Chu Qinghe curled his lips and suddenly felt that all his efforts were in vain.
But at least he had confirmed who had been following him today, which made Chu Qinghe feel more or less at ease.
After shaking his head slightly, Chu Qinghe withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked back to the backyard of the tailor shop.
When they returned to the shop, there were a few more people behind the owner of the tailor shop.
Each of them had obvious calluses on their hands, and they were obviously the tailors who were assigned here.
When the owner of the tailor shop saw Chu Qinghe coming back, he greeted him again.
"Sir, these are the best craftsmen in my shop. They are the best in the entire Yu Shui City."
After taking a quick glance at the wooden box containing the black jade silk, Chu Qinghe politely nodded to the craftsmen.
Then he asked the owner of the tailor shop for a basin of water.
Although he was puzzled, he thought a basin of water itself was not a big deal, so the shopkeeper arranged it casually.
While waiting, Chu Qinghe suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do and I am in a hurry. I think half an hour should be enough to get all the things I want, right?"
Seeing the gold that Chu Qinghe placed on the table, the owner of the tailor shop said with bright eyes: "That's enough, it's just sewing, half an hour is enough."
After getting the guarantee from the owner of the tailor shop, Chu Qinghe nodded.
Not long after, a copper basin filled with clear water was placed on the table next to Chu Qinghe. Chu Qinghe reached out and took out the black jade silk from the wooden box and put it into the copper basin.
As Chu Qinghe picked up all the black jade silk, a three-inch ordinary clay bottle was revealed underneath.
As the bottle poured out, some colorful powder that looked like it was mixed with metal poured into it from the bottle mouth.
After pouring nearly one-fifth of the powder into the bottle, Chu Qinghe resealed the bottle, put it in his arms, and then waited slowly.
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe took out a ten-liang gold ingot from his arms and placed it on the table next to him.
This black jade silk is made from a mixture of black jade gilt ore and special items. It is as thin as silk, invulnerable to swords and guns, and cannot be dissolved by water or fire.
If it were handed directly to the craftsmen in the tailor shop, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to divide it, let alone do anything else.
Fortunately, this wooden box contains some special powder that comes with the system.
After adding these powders to water and soaking the black jade silk for half a quarter of an hour, the black jade silk will become the same texture as ordinary fishing line.
Even the most ordinary knife can separate them.
However, this time is limited.
Only half an hour.
Once more than half an hour passes, the black jade silk will recover.
Therefore, if these craftsmen cannot complete these things within the required time, Chu Qinghe will have to use the medicine powder again.
This is also the reason why Chu Qinghe asked in advance just now.
The owner of the tailor shop nearby looked at Chu Qinghe's actions. Although he was puzzled, any businessman in this world with a little bit of brains knew to do more and ask less.
Therefore, although he was confused, the owner of the tailor shop did not take the initiative to ask Chu Qinghe about his current actions.
Just like that, until the black jade silk that had sunk directly to the bottom of the water gradually floated up, Chu Qinghe fished out the soft black jade silk from the water and handed it to the owner of the tailor shop.
The owner of the tailor shop handed the dried black jade silk to the craftsmen and asked them to start working. He even took the initiative to help several craftsmen.
On the other hand, Chu Qinghe put the gold away and sat quietly waiting.
His eyes occasionally wandered over these craftsmen.
at the same time.
In a restaurant not far from the tailor shop, a disciple from the Shenshui Palace couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Mr. Chu come out yet?"
Hearing this person's question, the disciple of the Shenshui Palace next to him immediately asked: "Why? I just entered not long ago, and you're thinking about it now?"
"Humph, you're talking as if you don't want to? You look so eager, even a blind man can see it."
"I can't help it. Who made Mr. Chu stay at home every day? He was always staring at his maid. It was so boring."
…
The girls' attire was peculiar to begin with, and with their flirting, they looked like a couple of beautiful girls, causing the other guests on the second floor to cast their glances over frequently.
Perhaps sensing the gazes of the others on the second floor, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun suddenly frowned and looked at the people around him and said, "Have you forgotten the palace rules when you go out? What nonsense are you talking about?"
After hearing what the disciple surnamed Sun from the Shenshui Palace said, the few people who were laughing and chatting just now instantly fell silent.
As if to change the subject, a disciple from the Divine Water Palace took the initiative to ask, "Senior Sister Sun, how long are we going to keep watching like this?"
Listening to what his companions said, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun pondered for a few breaths and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. We are now in the western border of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we send a pigeon to deliver a letter, it will probably take at least half a month for the news from the palace to come back."
At this time, a disciple of the Shenshui Palace said, "After all, Yushui City is in the southwest, the sphere of influence of the Yihua Palace. Do you think the elders in the palace will really travel thousands of miles to the southwest just for a jade token?"
The Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun said confidently: "As long as there are new palace rules, they will definitely come."
Facing this, a disciple of the Divine Water Palace could not help but ask, "Senior Sister Sun, your status in the palace is not low either. Do you know why the Palace Master suddenly asked us to wear this identity jade card a year ago, and if this identity jade card is lost, we must also ask for it to be found?"
However, in response to the question from the Shenshui Palace disciple, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun said calmly, "Some things are better not to ask."
However, in response to what the woman surnamed Sun said, a person beside her pulled her arm and shook it gently, saying, "Others may not understand us, but Senior Sister Sun, don't you understand us? We will definitely not spread rumors, Senior Sister Sun, just tell us!"
Several other people on the side also echoed.
Don't hit a smiling person. When faced with a woman's coquettishness, not only men, but even women can't resist it.
Therefore, the disciple surnamed Sun from the Shenshui Palace seemed to have no way to deal with the few people. He glanced around and lowered his voice slightly, saying, "It's okay, but if anyone among you dares to leak what we said today, you know the consequences."
If they were smart, just by listening to the warning from the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun, they would immediately restrain their curiosity.
But these disciples of Shenshui Palace were so excited at this time that they did not consider anything else. Instead, they continued to issue assurances and urged the disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun.
Seeing this, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun looked around and lowered his voice and said, "The story also started a year ago. Do you still remember that the Palace Master was removed from the Hundred Flowers List by Bai Xiaosheng a year ago?"
The people nearby all nodded in agreement when they heard this.
After all, such a big thing moved the entire world.
How could any disciple who had been out of Shenshui Palace in this year not have heard of this news?
The disciple of Shenshui Palace named Sun said, "A year ago, the Palace Master was in seclusion for cultivation, but he suddenly became possessed and in danger. At the critical moment, it was the old Palace Master who rescued the Palace Master. However, being possessed is a serious matter. Even with the old Palace Master's heavenly realm cultivation, the Palace Master still suffered sequelae."
"Since then, the Palace Master's figure and appearance have changed drastically. Not only has he become taller, but his appearance has also changed from being extremely beautiful to being more masculine. It is said that the Palace Master almost demolished his own residence that night."
"Afterwards, the Palace Master continued to research how to recover and resolve the sequelae, and he rarely went out."
"However, half a month after the Palace Master went into a trance, although the Palace Master had clearly stayed in the Divine Water Palace and had not left, the Palace Master's trance and even the changes in his appearance and figure were revealed by Bai Xiaosheng on the Hundred Flowers Ranking."
"Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the list under Bai Xiaosheng will not be easily judged unless someone from Bai Xiaotang has made the decision personally."
"Of course, there were also people from Bai Xiao Tang who infiltrated the Shenshui Palace at that time."
"After learning this, the Palace Master was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Do you remember that thorough investigation? It was to find out who leaked the news."
"And after this investigation, the Palace Master actually found thirteen people from other forces who had sneaked into my Shenshui Palace."
At this point, a disciple of the Shenshui Palace suddenly realized, "It was not long after that that all of our disciples and even elders of the Shenshui Palace were required to carry this special identity jade card with them, and they were required to show this identity jade card when entering or leaving any place in the Shenshui Palace."
The disciple of the Shenshui Palace surnamed Sun nodded and said, "This jade token is made of black jade. It is unique to our Shenshui Palace. An identity token made of this black jade cannot be copied by outsiders. It can also prevent people from other forces from sneaking into our Shenshui Palace. It can also confirm the identity of the disciples who enter and leave the Shenshui Palace every time."
"In this way, once any information in my Shenshui Palace is leaked, the traitor who leaked the information can be found immediately. Therefore, any Xuanyu cannot be left outside, because we are worried that it will be remade and give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it. It was also for this reason that when Tian Boguang broke into my Shenshui Palace, he was discovered by the disciples who were checking it out in just half a day because it was difficult to pass through."
After listening to what the disciple surnamed Sun from the Shenshui Palace said, several other disciples of the Shenshui Palace who understood the reason also showed signs of enlightenment.
After a while, a disciple of the Shenshui Palace said angrily: "It's all because of those traitors who leaked the news that the Palace Master had gone astray. Now everyone in the Shenshui Palace is in a panic."
Upon hearing this, the other disciples nodded in agreement.
"The Bai Xiao Tang is also shameless. A neutral force actually planted so many spies in my Shenshui Palace just to gather intelligence."
Even the Shenshui Palace disciple named Sun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As the person in charge of a top power, although Jellyfish Yin Ji is notorious for her evil deeds, at least her moods could be traced back to the past.
But after she became possessed and was kicked off the Hundred Flowers List by Bai Xiaosheng, Jellyfish Yin Ji's personality became more and more strange this year.
Not only is his personality completely unpredictable, but his temper is also extremely changeable. He can neither distinguish right from wrong nor good from evil.
It is very likely that he will be smiling one second and kill the next.
As a result, every disciple in Shenshui Palace was extremely cautious during this year, fearing that they would be severely punished if they were not careful.
Suddenly, a disciple of the Shenshui Palace said, "It is said that the Palace Master hates all men in the world because Bai Xiaosheng removed him from the Hundred Flowers List. He even thinks that if there were no men in this world, the Hundred Flowers List would not exist. You said that Senior Sister Sun mentioned Mr. Chu in her letter to the palace. Will the Palace Master come all the way from the palace after hearing the news about Mr. Chu and take action personally?"
As soon as the words fell, another person said, "That shouldn't be the case! I was beside Senior Sister Sun when she wrote the letter. In the letter, Senior Sister Sun explained the reason and spoke well of Mr. Chu. I don't think the Palace Master would rush over just for this jade token!"
Listening to what the several Shenshui Palace disciples behind him said, the Shenshui Palace disciple surnamed Sun frowned, and when he looked towards the tailor shop, worry appeared in his eyes.
After all, if such a handsome man was really killed by Jellyfish Yin Ji, it would be impossible for Jellyfish Yin Ji to kill him while he was still hot.
What a pity!
Tailor shop.
Just as the owner of the tailor shop said, with several craftsmen working together, they completed the items Chu Qinghe wanted with nearly half a quarter of an hour left before the black jade silk was ready.
After half an hour, Chu Qinghe could clearly feel that the nine-layer black gloves made of black jade silk had a different feel and texture.
And after being pulled, the original elasticity and toughness are restored.
After checking them one by one, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then readily handed over the agreed ten taels of gold to the owner of the tailor shop.
After putting nearly half of the remaining black jade silk into the wooden box, Chu Qinghe walked out of the shop accompanied by the tailor himself.
On the way to home, holding two wooden boxes wrapped in fine cloth in his hands, Chu Qinghe felt itchy in his heart, and even his pace to return home was unconsciously quickened a little, thinking that Yao Yue at home tonight could be combined with the clothes in the wooden boxes.
