Late at night, most of the lights in the courtyard of the first peak Gao Ming have been extinguished, and the maid's room and guest room on the side of the master bedroom are still lit with faint yellow lights.

Yang Xi sat in front of the dresser, his eyes staring ahead in a daze, not knowing whether he was looking at himself in the mirror or listening to the whispers in his heart.

He knew Gao Ming's living habits very well, because Gao Ming was thinking all day long, and his mind was tired, unlike ordinary immortal cultivators who would stay awake day and night, Gao Ming would enter a deep sleep at this time every day.

Yang Xi sat quietly in front of the mirror motionless, like a wood carving, but in the mirror, he was sometimes frowning, sometimes his face was tangled, and his inner mood fluctuated greatly.

After about half an hour, Yang Xi came back to his senses and stared at himself in the mirror, his eyebrows stretched and his eyes firm.

When he withdrew his gaze, he rose from the mirror, tucked it behind him with a flick of his long white coat, and walked out the door.

The maid, who was kneeling outside the guest room waiting for the call, heard the voice and hurriedly sat down to relieve her sleepiness.

Wow...... , The guest room pushed the door and retreated to the sides, Yang Xi walked from it, and when he saw the respectful maid, his heart tightened.

The maid crouched on the ground, only to see the pair of white shoes under Yang Xi's feet: "Does the fairy chief have any orders late at night?"

"You just wait on the side", Yang Xi left a sentence and walked straight out of the lobby.

The maid watched Yang Xi disappear outside the door, her face showed joy, and she comfortably leaned against the door of the guest room to take a rest.

Perhaps for her, the happiest thing in the world is that no one can work in the middle of the night and sleep beautifully.

Yang Xi didn't leave far, but just walked around the house, sensing that in addition to the maid in the side room who was still talking softly, Gao Ming and the maid in the guest room had already appeared to sleep.

He still waited, and walked around the yard for a while with his usual movements, as if he couldn't sleep at night and came out to pick flowers and admire the moon.

After a while, after making sure that no one disturbed his movements, he resolutely walked to the study on the right side of the house.

While perceiving the movement of the master bedroom, Yang Xi invoked the aura to run in the acupuncture points and tendons in a specific operation mode, opening and closing the first formation, and then walked into the study.

In Gao Ming's study, he has been here many times, there are a few formations, a few hidden grids, and a few mechanisms, and he knows exactly where they are.

In the same way as when entering the door, the formation in the study was all known by him whether it was open or not, and he easily reached the front of a few dark compartments behind the bookcase.

Walking a distance of dozens of steps, Yang Xi was nervous, guilty, and because his perception was always open, he felt extremely tired, and a little crystal clear sweat continued to appear on his forehead.

Boom, Yang Xi's eyes were quick, he caught the sweat that slipped down with his shirt, and wiped his forehead by the way.

He exhaled and breathed, glad that the sweat did not drip to the ground, otherwise with his high perception, he would have found the abnormality when he woke up early tomorrow morning.

Yang Xi clearly remembered Yuan Qisheng's entrustment.

'Xiaoyou, you have to grasp the opportunity, according to Zhao Yan's speculation, Gao Ming and Lu Daosheng are nervous now, as long as they find the slightest mistake, they are very likely to give up their current insistence and choose to cooperate with the Town Shou Mansion instead. ’

In this way, not only will things not be solved, but they will become troublesome, so even if you slow down, you won't show any traces. ’

After confirming that there were no traces, Yang Xi raised his hand and pressed the mechanism on the side through the wide sleeve.

Click, a soft voice sounded, and a dark grid on the wall appeared in front of me, and a few books lay quietly inside.

Yang Xi took a deep breath and reached for the book. He had seen these books a long time ago, about a few years ago.

He has known Gao Ming for so long, and he has only met a few times, so it can be seen that Gao Ming himself usually doesn't pay much attention to it, basically throwing it in and not managing it very much, and often when it is used, he takes it out and flips through it to find the corresponding people and things inside.

It's not that Gao Ming is unguarded, just look at those formations and organs, you know that Gao Ming is actually very strict here, but he probably didn't think that Yang Xi would come to steal the records.

The reason why Yang Xi dared to come directly to pick up the books was also for this reason, otherwise he would definitely have to make some other preparations.

Yang Xi took a book and gently opened it to check it, and what was recorded on it was when and where Yanzong traded with whom and what he obtained.

It's written very vaguely, I think it's an ordinary person's business, but there are also some things related to loose cultivation, disciples of other sects, and local heroes, and the records on it are more detailed, and it is estimated that they are stored here as a handle, and when they can be used by each other, these records will be extracted by Gao Ming.

Yang Xi was generally clear about the things in the sect, but he was not exhaustive, he knew that Yanzong had grown up in just thirty years, and it was impossible to support such a large sect without secret transactions.

If you calculate the accounts, you will know that every year you have to contribute to the official family, you have to contribute to the Beidi backing mountain sect, tens of thousands of disciples inside and outside the sect have food, clothing, housing, transportation and training resources, as well as all kinds of pomp and circumstance.

Basically, it means that a disciple has to catch a demon in a month, and he has to sell it for a good price.

But when he got this record and flipped through a few random items, he realized that he was too naïve.

Yang Xi closed the books, looked at the others, found the books with the higher evil degree and put them in the lucky bag, turned around and gently pressed the mechanism, and closed the dark compartment.

Click, the sound of the mechanism spinning.

Gao Ming woke up from the bed suddenly, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he had heard a more familiar voice, and he couldn't help but look around the dark room, looking for the source of the sound.

He was silent for a while, and found nothing in his ears except the soft playfulness of the maids on one side.

Gao Ming was a little uneasy, got up from the bed, got dressed, pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.

The maids kneeling on the ground were silent, their faces were raised, and their eyes seemed to ask their masters for orders.

"You haven't slept all the time, have you heard any clicks", Gao Ming couldn't remember where he heard that voice for a while, so he had to ask vaguely.

The maids looked puzzled, and they were also stumped by this click, and no one spoke for a while.

Gao Ming looked at them like this and knew what they were thinking: "You go on to be your own, I'll go to the study and sit down, remember to come over with hot tea." ”

"Yes," the maids bowed slightly.

Just as Gao Ming was about to leave the side hall, a maid said, "Immortal Chief, is the clicking sound you said coming from inside the study? I heard it once when I passed by the study. ”

"Study?", Gao Ming's heart was shocked.

He hurriedly left the side hall and walked out of the lobby door, heading straight for the study on the right side of the house.
