Elder Xu's request was indeed far beyond Wei Yi's expectations.

He never expected that Elder Xu would ask him to help steal a painting.

Stealing a painting is certainly not a problem.

The problem is that the painting is in an unusual place.

This painting is hung in the law enforcement hall, and it is hung in the room where his master is.

In other words, the painting that Elder Xu asked him to steal belonged to his master.

"You don't have to worry about my conspiracy."

"This painting is just a very ordinary portrait of a person, worth at most ten taels of silver."

"It's just a little special to me. If you can get it for me, we'll talk about the deal later."

After finishing speaking, Elder Xu didn't explain much, just turned around and left.

Wei Yi was left alone in place.

……

From the Danding Hall all the way back to the Law Enforcement Hall, Wei Yi was still a little confused.

Even after returning to the law enforcement hall, he still couldn't figure it out, and didn't know what to do.

Logically speaking, if Elder Xu wanted him to steal something from his master, no matter what it was, he should immediately refuse.

It's fine to steal other people's things, but Wei Yi can't do such a thing if he steals his master's things.

But he vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

It's just a painting, and it's not a treasure, and according to what Elder Xu said, ten taels of silver are worthless.

But why did his master hang such an extremely cheap painting in the room of the Law Enforcement Palace?

Why did Elder Xu want him to help steal it?
"How about explaining to Master directly?"

Wei Yi thought of a solution in his mind.

But as soon as this idea came into being, Wei Yi immediately cut it off.

It is definitely not good to say it directly, because it will make it difficult for his master to do so. After he said this, should his master agree or refuse?
Maybe this painting is very important, and he would definitely be reluctant to agree, but if he refuses, he is afraid of hurting his face, which will undoubtedly put his master in a dilemma.

"That's not the way."

"It's better to see what the painting is before making a decision. If the painting is very precious, then treat it as if you don't know anything."

"If it's really just a very ordinary painting, I'll ask Master to explain the matter clearly and let him decide."

Thinking about it this way, Wei Yi finally made a decision.

To be honest, although the portrait was hung in his master's room, and he had entered it countless times, he really didn't pay attention to what was on the portrait.

Most people don't pay much attention to a picture on the wall.

……

"Is Elder Yan up there?"

Wei Yi stopped several Law Enforcement Palace disciples to ask.

"Brother Qi, Elder Yan went out an hour ago, but Captain Zhou was up there."

The leading disciple of the Hall of Law Enforcement replied quickly.

"Thank you."

While speaking, Wei Yi hurried up to the top floor of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Just taking advantage of his master's absence, he took a closer look at the painting.

"Brother."

Just as Wei Yi came to his master's room, he happened to meet Zhou Yong who came out of the room.

Zhou Yong was holding a lot of volumes in both hands, and his face was slightly tired, obviously he had just finished his work.

"Junior brother, why didn't you come over earlier." Zhou Yong looked at him with resentment.

"Haha, I think it's just right for me to come now." Wei Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, you kid, what are you doing here?"

"Come here to get something, do you want me to deliver it for you?"

"No, you can do your work, I'll go down first."

Naturally, Zhou Yong didn't suspect Wei Yi, and quickly left with a large pile of papers. As the captain of the law enforcement team, he was much busier than Wei Yi.

This time there was no one in the room.

"Exactly—"

Wei Yi was secretly delighted, and immediately opened the door and walked in.

Looking around, Wei Yi couldn't help but frown slightly when he didn't find any portraits.

Suddenly remembered something, Wei Yi walked behind his master's desk, and slowly opened the curtain next to him, and a painting appeared in front of his eyes.

From Wei Yi's point of view, this is indeed a very ordinary portrait, the painting is rough, it's not the work of a famous artist, the paper is not that good, and the mounting makes people complain.

If such a painting is sold, it is indeed not worth ten taels of silver.

The portrait seems to be a woman, and... vaguely similar to Elder Xu.

"Could it be that the person above is Elder Xu, that's why she wants to get it back?"

Wei Yi rested his chin on his right hand and meditated. Apart from this reason, he really didn't see anything special about this painting.

"Does it look good?"

And at this moment, an old voice sounded behind him.

Wei Yi couldn't help tightening his heart suddenly, not to mention this familiar voice, just because of this surreptitious skill, there was no one else in the entire law enforcement hall except his master, Elder Yan.

"Hehe, Master, you're back so soon? That..."

Wei Yi turned around calmly, smiling dryly, and was about to find a reason to be vague.

Who knew that before he could say anything, Elder Yan asked first, "Elder Xu asked you to come, right?"

His expression was extremely flat, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

Wei Yi opened his mouth, smiled bitterly, and finally couldn't help asking, "Master, how did you guess that?"

"It's easy to guess." Elder Xu walked over slowly, stood beside Wei Yi, looked at the painting in front of him, and replied lightly, "Because there is no one else who cares about this painting except her. "

"But why did she ask you to steal this painting?"

Elder Yan turned to look at Wei Yi and asked.

"I wanted to ask him to buy some fifth-grade alchemy recipes, so she made this request... But I didn't want to steal it, I was just curious, and I planned to take a look first, but I didn't expect you to come back, Master."

Wei Yi didn't hide anything, and told all the things directly.

"very curious?"

Elder Yan's flat tone seemed to be filled with a touch of sadness.

"Is there a story? Is the person in this portrait Elder Xu?"

Wei Yi asked tentatively.

"It's not her, it's her sister." Elder Yan shook his head, "It's a pity that I killed her, so she has always hated me to the bone and never forgave me for so many years."

While speaking, Elder Yan sighed and couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes.

The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and an inexplicable sadness emerged.

Wei Yi opened his mouth, and finally understood why Elder Xu kept making troubles for his master, but his master tolerated and forgave him time and time again.

It turned out to be because of this reason.

"Take it, give it to her."

Elder Yan opened his eyes again, and suddenly said,
"She has wanted this painting for more than ten years. It's really useless for me to keep it. If there are no people, what's the use of a portrait."

"If it can make her happy, the value of this portrait is enough."

Having said that, he turned to look at Wei Yi,

"Give this painting to her, and tell her for me by the way, I know she won't forgive me, and I don't expect her to forgive me, but I haven't forgotten her sister's hatred, and one day I will take everything with me. Get all the benefits back."

"Master, who is Master's wife's enemy? I can help you when you get revenge later." Wei Yi asked immediately.

Elder Yan smiled.

"If you have this heart, you will be content as a teacher."

"When you break through the realm of Wuzong, maybe you can help the teacher."
