599 It’s Nothing At All (1/2)
”So that's how it is…”
Elder Luo took Chen Xiaobei inside as he said, ”A few days ago, Puti received a mission, then she locked herself in the practice room. The door was closed and no one was allowed to go in. These few days, I have never seen her leaving the room and I'm afraid that she might be in trouble if this goes on!”
”What mission did she receive?” Chen Xiaobei frowned.
”I'm not sure either. I only know that if the mission is successful, Puti will become the official chief inspector of Six Doors!”
Elder Luo turned around and said, ”But at the same time, there will be other people competing with Puti. If she loses, she will lose the opportunity to become the chief inspector forever. After all, with such a position, as long there's no major mistakes, they won't replace anyone!”
”Alright, I understand. Leave this to me, don't you worry about it.” Chen Xiaobei replied solemnly.
Elder Luo nodded his head and said, ”This girl of mine, Puti, has always been stubborn since she was young and I think that only you can persuade her!”
Outside the practice room.
After knocking for almost half a day, it was still quiet from the inside. Elder Luo frowned even more, expressing his worry.
”Grandpa, you go ahead first. I'll have a chat with Puti.” Chen Xiaobei said.
”Okay, it's all on you then.” Elder Luo nodded his head and slowly left the place.
After Elder Luo left, Chen Xiaobei directly extracted a silver needle from the Treasure Chest and went to pick the door's lock.
*Ka-cha!*
He had skills at picking locks and the kind of door Chen Xiaobei unlocked was not difficult, as it was unlocked right away.
Behind the door was an octagonal-shaped room. The interior layout fitted into the surrounding eight trigrams and it seemed that there was a small and quiet hidden spot, which was conducive for practice.
Puti was not there and instead, she was daydreaming at the corner of the room. Her beautiful complexion was pale. Her eyes were crystal clear but looked empty. Her sexy lips were parched, which was obviously the result of long periods of not drinking enough water. Who would have thought that the ice queen would be reduced to such a state.
Feeling a pang in his heart, Chen Xiaobei rushed over to her immediately.
As he strode over, Luo Puti snapped out of her daze and asked, ”How did you come in?”
”As long as I'm thinking about my wife, there's nothing that can stop me! It's only a simple door, it's nothing at all!”
Chen Xiaobei cheerfully sat beside Luo Puti.
”Who are you calling your wife!”
Luo Puti glared at Chen Xiaobei and said, ”Get out, I don't have the strength to be chattering with you now!”
”I'm not here to talk, I am here to help my wife solve her problem!” There was no way Chen would leave her alone. Instead, he moved over and leaned Luo Puti's shoulders against the wall.
”Solving my problem, yea right! Do you think that you're god? No one can solve this problem! Get out! I need silence…”
Luo Puti raised her hands and pushed Chen Xiaobei but he did not budge.
”You don't believe me? How about making a bet with me?” Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”If I win, you will admit that you are my wife! If I lose, I will immediately go out and not disturb you again!”
