After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: You Don’t Have a Taoist Certificate
Zhouzhou didn’t notice his change in expression. She agilely jumped off Wangcai’s back and pulled Ross towards the house. Chen Tuo hurriedly stopped her and asked, “Sister Zhou, how did you catch this person?”

“It was Wangcai who brought me to catch him,” Zhouzhou replied, shaking her little head with a hint of pride. “I’m going to exchange this big baddie for money from Second Elder Uncle!”

Second Elder Uncle said that there would be a reward for catching bad people.

Thinking about it, she didn’t forget her other little partner. She patted Wangcai’s tiger head and said with loyalty, “Wangcai, when we get the money, I’ll buy you meat to eat!”

Upon hearing the word “meat,” Wangcai let out a howl and excitedly circled around her, wagging his fluffy tail vigorously.

Looking at his dog-like appearance, Chen Tuo’s mouth twitched.

Could it be that Wangcai had been called “dog” for too long and actually thought he was a real dog?

But it’s not like he didn’t have a bit of a tiger-like appearance.

Wangcai’s beast king father had previously helped the Boss catch many bad people, and its sense of smell was even more sensitive than a police dog’s.

Unexpectedly, Wangcai had inherited this ability.

Looking at Wangcai drooling, Chen Tuo felt that he might have overthought it. Maybe it was just craving meat.

All its accomplishments were just for the sake of getting meat.

With this thought in mind, he suddenly found it difficult to look directly at Wangcai and quickly turned to Zhouzhou, saying, “Sister Zhou, can I have Ross? I’ll give you money for it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked at him with a puzzled expression and tilted her head. “Stingky Little Brother, what do you want him to do?”

Wangcai also imitated her and tilted his big head, looking even more foolish.

Chen Tuo resisted the urge to look at him and said to Zhouzhou, “I also catch bad people, didn’t you forget?”

As he spoke, he touched the dragon handcuffs at his waist.

Zhouzhou suddenly realized, “Oh, right!”

She loosened the rope in her hand and pressed her finger onto the dragon handcuffs, taking out her mini handcuffs as well. She shook them proudly and said, “I have them too.”

Looking at the mini dragon handcuffs in her hand, Chen Tuo was surprised. He didn’t expect that the Boss would actually agree to it.

When did he become so easy to negotiate with?

Unable to comprehend, Chen Tuo didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he took out a card and handed it to Zhouzhou. “Sister Zhou, since you’re going to give him to Second Elder Uncle for money, why not give him to me instead? That way, Second Elder Uncle doesn’t have to make another trip. He’s quite busy.”

Besides, Ross was not someone that Qin Ren and the others, ordinary detectives, could handle. After going through all the trouble, he would eventually be handed over to them.

In that case, it would be better to give him directly to him.

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and said, “Okay.”

“But Stingky Little Brother, you have to give me the money. Even siblings have to settle the accounts clearly.”

Zhouzhou confidently stated, with her hands on her chubby waist.

Looking at her appearance as a little money lover, Chen Tuo couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, how much do you want?”

Second Elder Uncle had previously offered a reward of three hundred thousand for catching that human trafficker, so she had a reference. She raised three fingers and shook them, saying, “Three hundred thousand! Not a penny less.”

He thought she would ask for a much higher amount.

Chen Tuo looked at her and suggested, “Sister Zhou, do you want to add a few more zeros?”

Ross had a bounty of over a billion on the wanted list.

Thirty thousand wouldn’t even be a fraction of it.

Zhouzhou waved her hand and said, “No need. I’m not a profiteer. I know the market price!”

As she spoke, she glanced at him with her big eyes, hummed lightly, and with her plump face held up seriously, she lectured, “Stingky Little Brother, you can’t be so greedy.”

After speaking, she took the card from his hand, took out a POS machine from her bag, and swiftly swiped it. Without looking back, she ran inside with Wangcai.

Hearing her words, Chen Tuo’s mouth twitched. He didn’t know who had asked him for a “family price” back then. Hehe.

Zhouzhou didn’t know what he was thinking, or else she would kick him against the wall again.

Stingky Little Brother was the most talkative.

She dashed all the way to the room, and when Qin Ren saw her return, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she rushed towards him.

Now that it was cold, Qin Lie made sure she was dressed warmly. With her round face, she looked like a little meatball.

Qin Ren relaxed his brows and bent down to catch the little meatball.

“Eldest brother!” Zhouzhou nudged between his neck, and suddenly remembered something, she apologized, “Eldest brother, I dismantled the sled you made for me.”

As she spoke, she recounted the incident to Qin Ren in great detail.

Upon learning that she had caught another bad person, Qin Ren’s eyelids twitched, and he instinctively glanced at Qin Lie.

Upon hearing her mention that Chen Tuo had bought the person, Ross, Qin Lie’s fingertips paused slightly as he asked, “You said, Chen Tuo called that person Ross?”

“Yes.” Zhouzhou nodded, confirming that she remembered correctly. Her memory was excellent.

Qin Lie took a sip of tea, his gaze slightly narrowed. He remembered that Chen Tuo and Ye Lingfeng had mentioned a person they couldn’t catch, and his name was Ross.

Recalling the scene when they found them, Qin Lie dared not think further. If Zhouzhou hadn’t encountered Ross and gotten injured, what would have happened…

Interrupting his thoughts, he stopped thinking about it.

Sensing his unusual behavior, Qin Ren asked, “Uncle, is there something wrong with this Ross?”

“Nothing.” Qin Lie shook his head, speaking lightly. His gaze fell on Zhouzhou’s mini handcuffs as he advised, “Zhouzhou, don’t take out the handcuffs casually.”

“Why?” Zhouzhou didn’t understand.

Qin Lie casually replied, “Don’t show off your wealth. What if someone sees them and steals your handcuffs?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately held the mini handcuffs tightly and nodded vigorously. “Hmm, I’ll listen to Dad. I won’t let anyone see them in the future.”

“Good.” Qin Lie nodded but didn’t say anything. He flicked his fingers on the teacup, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Qin Ren also pondered his reaction in secret. Uncle’s behavior was obviously off. Could this Ross really be a problem?

His brows furrowed as he thought.

They hadn’t told Zhouzhou about these things. She was immersed in the joy of earning money, happily taking Wangcai to eat meat.

Wangcai ate a lot, so Zhouzhou bought him a large basin full of meat.

She held the basin in one hand while Grandma Qin had just made a salad, and she ate happily.

Both human and tiger enjoyed their meal.

When Mu Xuan entered and saw this scene, he paused for a moment and then walked over with a smile. “Why did you start eating directly from the basin?”

Zhouzhou lifted her head from the basin, her cheeks bulging, unable to speak. Mu Xuan didn’t rush her and gently wiped the food stains from her mouth with a tissue.

After swallowing, Zhouzhou said, “Because then I don’t have to keep adding rice.”

Running was too tiring.

Alright.

Mu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground with her. Zhouzhou glanced at him and suddenly remembered something important. She quickly asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, can I go to the Mystery Sect Conference now?”

Mu Xuan had brought up this matter.

Furrowing his brows, he showed a displeased expression and said, “Originally, there wouldn’t have been a problem. You only needed a recommendation letter from Senior Martial Uncle Tang.”

“But,” Zhouzhou interrupted, actively continuing his sentence.

Mu Xuan looked at her, sighed lightly, and said, “But they said you don’t have a Taoist certificate and can’t participate.”

Ah?

Zhouzhou was taken aback, tilting her head in confusion. “What’s a Taoist certificate?”

“It’s a certificate of Taoist qualification. After passing the exam, you become an officially recognized Taoist. If you have that certificate, there won’t be any problem with Senior Martial Uncle Tang recommending you to participate.”

Mu Xuan had obtained this certificate casually four years ago during a trip down the mountain. After that, he threw the certificate into a box in his room on the mountain and had long forgotten about it.

Zhouzhou’s friends had no way to argue with this, and she couldn’t help it.

Zhouzhou’s head spun for a while as she tried to understand his meaning. Her eyes widened suddenly. “I am a Taoist. Do I still need to prove it?”

Wasn’t she born a little monk and became a Taoist as soon as her master took her away?

She grew up on the mountain.

Now they were suddenly telling her that she wasn’t a Taoist, leaving Zhouzhou at a loss. She felt that her past four and a half years of life had been denied.

Puffing up her cheeks, she became a little angry. “I’ll take the exam!”

No one could say she wasn’t a Taoist!

She hadn’t been eating all those vegetables in vain.
