By the time the guard stationed at Qian's Wine and Rice Shop sensed something was amiss and rushed over with the swiftest speed,
the Purple Mansion Battle Cultivator was astonished to find the shop completely deserted.
Upon the counter lay an open accounting book, along with Qian Wancheng's favorite magic artifact, the Golden Abacus.
The Purple Mansion guard's gaze grew sharp, a bad feeling immediately washing over him.
Qian Wancheng had a habit.
Whenever he counted the books, he would send all the clerks and guards away, preferring to work alone.
Furthermore, Qian, the shopkeeper, kept the accounting records of the Wine and Rice Shop under strict control and would never allow others to touch them.
And he would never just leave them on the table and walk away.
Unless…
The Purple Mansion guard's thoughts raced, as he reached for a talisman and infused it with mana.
