The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 637 - 634: Hidden Threat

"Perhaps not."

Master Jiu sneered.

"Do you have any other methods then?"

Master Chen was clearly frustrated.

"Don’t forget, we still have a gold-lettered sign. Just by hanging that sign, the reputation and clientele of De Yue Building will quickly be restored, and might even become more illustrious than ever."

Master Jiu was referring to the Phoebe Wood Sign.

"What’s the use of saying that? De Yue Building can’t use that Phoebe Wood Sign at all."

Master Chen sighed deeply.

"That may not be necessarily true. I have thought of other methods. Without exposing the person behind Chu’s Restaurant, we can use this sign."

Master Jiu sneered again.

Although the Purple Cloud Cabbage incident came suddenly, the fact that the person behind Chu’s Restaurant had not shown themselves amidst such commotion could mean two possibilities.

Either there is no one behind Chu’s Restaurant, and people like Ma Jingtian just used the Purple Cloud Cabbage to make Spiritual Delicacy Buns.

Or the person behind the scenes cannot show themselves, possibly not being in Purple Cloud City or having a concealed identity.

Master Jiu, eager to obtain the final Qi Stone, was not willing to waste any more effort. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Master Chen looked earnestly for guidance.

"As long as Chu’s Restaurant disappears forever, this sign will naturally become invalid. At that time, you can use this sign."

Master Jiu tapped the Phoebe Wood Sign.

The sign was enchanted, but if Chu’s Restaurant disappeared, the sign would naturally lose its power.

De Yue Building being ordered to rectify for three days was a piece of news that delighted no one more than Ma Jingtian.

That very day, he rushed to Qingtian Academy.

"Ha-ha, Little Boss, you’re simply divine! How did you guess that Master Chen would send someone to steal the cabbage?"

Upon reflection, Ma Jingtian remembered that on the night of the theft, there was no sign of disturbance from the ghost soldiers in the Chu Mansion.

After the cabbage was stolen, he even scolded the ghost soldiers for slacking off, but now he realized, it must have been Little Boss and a high-level figure working together, causing the ghost soldiers to stand down and setting a trap for the thief.

De Yue Building’s attempt at pilfering had backfired, and they suffered a significant loss.

"Base people commit base deeds. I was merely speculating, and he fell into his own trap. These few days, keep an eye on De Yue Building. I’m sure Master Chen and his people won’t rest easy."

Xin Lin didn’t let a small victory make her overly optimistic.

De Yue Building’s reputation was indeed damaged, but after all, it is the leading establishment in the Spirit Food World of Purple Cloud City. Its reputation in Purple Cloud City cannot be completely destroyed by a single bun incident.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager wouldn’t have issued just a three-day rectification order after flying into a rage over spoiled buns.

Not to mention, the bun business is not the main trade of De Yue Building; Spiritual Food is their real strength.

"Little Boss, rest assured, after this setback, De Yue Building won’t cause trouble for a while. Chu’s Restaurant needs to reopen too. We haven’t sold buns in days, and our regular customers keep asking about it. While De Yue Building is still closed, we should snatch away their customers."

Ma Jingtian was eager to try.

Xin Lin, however, wasn’t as optimistic.

The person behind Master Chen, the mysterious Leech Man she had once seen with the help of her superpower, had yet to show himself.

That night, the one who broke into the Chu Mansion was also him.

According to the ghost soldiers, his skills were very peculiar.

The ghost soldiers wanted to track him, but once they left the Chu Mansion, his presence would disappear.

If this person was not dealt with, he would always be a hidden threat.
