NovelEnglishChapter 2274: There’s a Thief! An Assassin!
Ning Shu rolled on the ground to dodge the weapon and grabbed the book in the shadowy recess.
“There’s a thief! An assassin!” Ning Shu was just fleeing out of the study when the entire Zhao Clan Stronghold came out and one after another came toward her.
Ning Shu escaped from the Zhao Clan Stronghold by jumping over a wall. She ran towards the martial arts sects stationed outside Zhao Clan Stronghold.
Many people had noticed the uproar in the Zhao Clan Stronghold and were all looking at it.
They inwardly guessed what had occurred to the Zhao Clan Stronghold, and they all came to the same conclusion: it had to be related to the ‘Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts.’
Ning Shu repeated her old trick and threw the rare book into the midst of these sects.
She then took off her dark clothes and pretended to also be chasing the assassin.

“These demonic sect members really don’t know when to give up.” Zhao Bo glanced at Ning Shu, his expression unpredictable under the light of the torch.
“Demonic sect members?” Ning Shu asked in surprise.
“It’s probably someone from the demonic sect.”
“They still haven’t given up on the rare book?” Ning Shu thought for a while. “Uncle, you should check if that thing is missing.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s lost. It’s fake anyway.”
Ning Shu: …
Making counterfeits must be in vogue nowadays. No one trusted anyone anymore.
“It’s good that the taken one is a fake. Let these demonic sect members take the risk all for no gain.”
“But, Uncle, I don’t think that it’s definitely done by the people of the demonic sect. There’s another person who knows about the book, that little monk Hui Ji. Maybe it is Hui Ji who stole it.”
Ning Shu said sneakily.
“Benefactor,” Hui Ji’s voice sounded, though faintly, and Ning Shu turned her head to look. “Oh, you’re here. It’s a bit dark, so I didn’t see you.”
“Yi, except for young master Hui Ji, you and I now are the only ones who know about the book. Are you the one who stole it?” Zhao Bo finally said what was in his heart.
“If you want to cultivate it, child… It’s not that I don’t want you to. It’s just that we must first make sure whether this book is genuine or not.
Ning Shu looked dumbfounded. “Have I eaten too much, or have I become stupid? I went through so much to steal that thing from the demonic sect. Why would I steal it again? Besides, I know Uncle would definitely let me cultivate it. Why would I do such a useless task?”
“Yi, I trust you. The Zhao Clan Stronghold will be handed over to you in the future.”
“Thank you, Uncle,” Ning Shu obediently replied.
After a while, the situation inside the Zhao Clan Stronghold calmed down. Instead, there was a ruckus rising outside it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was all caused by a peeing person. When he went out to relieve himself, he found that he had stepped on something. He took it into his arms and went back to the tent to take a look.
F*ck! What a miracle, it was the mythical book!
His heart was banging wildly against his ribs. He was scared that others would find out, so he quickly hid the book.
People would usually get nervous when they obtained valuable things. They almost couldn’t believe that they obtained it.
However, the fact that he had the book was still discovered by others. Those people, in order to obtain the book, immediately killed that person.
Regardless of whether the rare book was genuine or not, it was best to first kill and seize the book first.
Anyway, this rare book was like an opening. It made these people stationed outside the Zhao Clan Stronghold kill and injure each other.
In the face of such temptation, not everyone could firmly stay with their principles.
Within a few days, Ning Shu got the news that several people had died, and the rare book had gone missing. Apparently, a disciple of the Everlasting Sect had stolen it.
All of the sects were now looking for this disciple who stole the rare book.
