"Are you the new person who injured Qiu Wuyi and the others in the competition arena today?"
Qiu Wuji asked loudly.
Before Tang Yu could answer, two outer disciples with the surname Qiu quickly intervened: "Senior Brother Wuji, he's not the newcomer."
"Yes, Senior Brother. This junior is also new here today. My name is Ling Jun. The person you're looking for is Brother Ye Qiu, right? I know where he lives."
Tang Yu smiled slightly. Apparently, they were looking for trouble with Ye Qiu, and they confused him with him just because they were both newcomers.
"That's it. Junior Brother, could you show us the way?"
Qiu Wuji was quite satisfied with Tang Yu's attitude, mainly because she was moved by his sincere recognition when they met.
This guy is an honest man.
"Alright, Senior Brother."
Tang Yu nodded and enthusiastically began to guide Qiu Wuji.
He had already asked the three people helping with the cleaning and indeed knew where Ye Qiu lived.
After leading Qiu Wuji and the others to a secluded area, Tang Yu pointed to the courtyard where Ye Qiu lived.
"Brother Ye lives here, but I'm not sure in which exact room."
"That's fine, thank you."
Qiu Wuji thanked him and entered, ready to cause trouble.
"Then I'll head back first. Goodbye. Brothers, with the recent cold weather, don't forget to cover yourselves well with blankets at night."
Tang Yu waved his hand and, happily, ran off to a secluded spot to sit and watch the show.
As expected, after a few minutes, Qiu Wuji came out with a gloomy face.
Behind him was Ye Qiu, and they were both heading straight for the combat arena. There was no doubt they were going to face off again.
Tang Yu didn't have much hope for Qiu Wuji.
After all, due to the difference in strength, he was destined to be a stepping stone for Ye Qiu.
However, he thought for a moment and decided to watch the show anyway.
As he walked a bit, Tang Yu suddenly noticed a suspicious person sneaking into the courtyard where Ye Qiu lived.
"A thief?"
Tang Yu showed a surprised expression, hesitated for a moment, and decided to get closer to see what the person was doing.
After taking a few silent steps, Tang Yu entered the courtyard where Ye Qiu lived and glanced around, discovering that the doors to the four rooms were closed.
However, in one of them, he could hear the sound of someone rummaging through things.
This thief was being quite bold.
Based on Tang Yu's judgment, this person was probably a habitual criminal who knew Ye Qiu wouldn't return anytime soon, which was why he dared to act so brazenly.
"I wonder if there's anything good."
With a smile, Tang Yu quickly approached and opened the door.
The middle-aged man who was rummaging through the room jumped, and when he turned around, he realized that it wasn't Ye Qiu who had returned, but another newcomer who had just arrived today.
This made him feel relieved for a moment, though he was still very nervous.
Yes, this man was a professional thief.
Before joining the Nine Heavens Alliance, his sect had been nicknamed "the thieves' sect" by local martial arts sects.
Then, thanks to his great talent, he was recruited by the Nine Heavens Alliance, but his hobby remained unchanged.
He used to sneak into the rooms of his fellow disciples and steal things along the way.
Today, his target was Ye Qiu.
But what he didn't expect was that just as he entered, someone had already discovered him.
And he hadn't even noticed the presence of this new person who had quietly approached.
"What are you doing, brother? Stealing?"
Tang Yu had already noticed the man was holding two small jars in his hands, and he knew they must be things that Ye Qiu had left behind in his room.
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, don't look for trouble, understand?"
The middle-aged man spoke with an angry expression, his mustache twitching from side to side, looking somewhat comical.
"I can't, I'm a person of moral principles."
"If I've already seen the crime, I must report it."
Tang Yu extended his hand with a serious face and said, "Unless you give me half, I'll definitely report this matter to the elders."
"…"
The middle-aged man didn't expect to encounter someone so shameless. After hesitating for a moment, he threw one of the jars to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu opened it, smelled it, and saw that it contained some healing pills.
These pills were far inferior to the ones he had made.
So, with disdain, Tang Yu returned it, saying, "Forget it, take it yourself, I don't want it anymore."
"…"
After catching the jar, the middle-aged man was somewhat confused by this strange way of thinking.
However, when he saw that Tang Yu was about to leave, he quickly ran to him, blocked the door, and asked in a low voice:
"What does this mean? Are you upset because what you got was too little? This stuff isn't valuable. How about you keep this short knife?"
Saying this, the middle-aged man, with a pained expression, offered the knife he had managed to find.
The knife was wrapped in a golden sheath, with a golden dragon carved on it and adorned with some precious stones, clearly a valuable object.
However, Tang Yu shook his head, he wasn't interested in the knife.
"So, what do you want? Are you going to tell the elders I stole something? That won't benefit you at all."
The middle-aged man was desperate, who would resist such a good bribe this way?
"Steal something? I don't think stealing is wrong, why would I tell the elders?"
Tang Yu asked with a confused expression on his face.
"???"
The middle-aged man stared at him, not understanding why he was speaking like that.
"Look, you took the knife, if you hadn't taken it, what would Ye Qiu do with it? Save someone? Doesn't seem likely, right? If it's to kill someone, then taking the knife works just as well, doesn't it?"
Tang Yu asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man, almost automatically, nodded, as if it made some sense.
"And also, what's wrong with stealing?"
Tang Yu said firmly, "Have you heard this phrase?"
"What phrase?"
"In our time, the workers who build houses can't live in the buildings and live in dilapidated ones instead. The ones who do the production have nothing, and those who don't produce have everything."
"Instead of begging for what's yours, it's better to fight step by step against the enemy. If you have a conscience, you can steal without any remorse."
Tang Yu said passionately.
The middle-aged man suddenly had an epiphany.
He had been stealing for years, but he had never felt that his actions had such a noble purpose.
He looked at Tang Yu with admiration, as if saying, "The one who gave me life was my mother, but the one who understood me was my younger brother."
"Junior Brother, that's enough, these items are yours, take them as a gesture of friendship. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me."
The middle-aged man wiped a tear and handed Tang Yu everything he had stolen from Ye Qiu.
"No, no, no, Brother, don't be so polite! I'm not taking anything. If I ever need help, I'll definitely come to you."
This was what Tang Yu had been waiting for. Now he thought it would be best to get him to help steal some incense. But for now, he decided not to rush and instead go watch Ye Qiu's fight.
