Li Luoming still had that deep look of contemplation on his face: "What's more, we are about to face the last obstacle that might be riddled with dangers at every turn. Without an expert like Senior Sister Bingqing, how will we be able to triumph over the impending adversity?"

While flattering Fairy Bingqing, Li Luoming didn't forget to fire a jab at Su Luo simultaneously, “There are some people who can’t even kill a One-Armed Golden Wolf even after expending so much effort and time. In contrast, our Senior Sister Bingqing obliterated a One-Armed Golden Wolf into smithereens with a lift of her hand. Our Senior Sister Bingqing merely finds it beneath her dignity to show off and take action. If not, how would there be a chance for other people to continue their pretenses?”

Putting aside how offended the others found the words, Fairy Bingqing was otherwise immensely satisfied by the remarks.

Originally, she did not care about Li Luoming. However, after this series of events, she felt that she could now give him a barely passing grade.

Leveraging Li Luoming's aid, Fairy Bingqing extracted herself from the awkward situation and returned to her original spot. Glaring daggers at Senior Brother Zhang Wang, she mocked, "A few of the people here are deliberately trying to make me leave in a fit of anger, to win more shares, aren't they? In your dreams! I refuse to leave!"

Fairy Bingqing leaned against the wall while sweeping her gaze out. When her gaze swept past Su Luo, a soul-chilling glow flashed out from within her black pupils.

Seeing that the joss stick was about to burn out completely, Su Luo reminded everyone once again: “So what’s our decision on the earlier matter?”

“What matter?” Li Luoming asked, perplexed.

Su Luo signed in response to his poor memory.

“I can solve that problem.” Su Luo pointed to the question on the wall.

It took Li Luoming a while to recall what happened earlier. Thereafter, he trailed his gaze towards Fairy Bingqing, for he had already put himself under her camp.

Fairy Bingqing sneered: “You can solve it? Then do so. If you can solve it, I’ll not take anything other than the inheritance inside!”

Su Luo was extremely satisfied with Fairy Bingqing’s reply.

Was there an inheritance inside?

Su Luo was extremely doubtful about that.

That was because the sound that had summoned her was still coming from a very, very far place from here. As the inheritance key, she did not sense the beckoning of the inheritance from here.

“Okay.” Glancing at the joss stick, Su Luo did not want to waste any more time.

Standing before the glowing entrance, she uttered in a low voice,” Truthfully speaking, this problem is here to mislead people. There’s no need to make so many twists and turns to solve it.”

“From the beginning, the money obtained by the shopkeeper and assistant are from the three guests. The shopkeeper’s twenty-five taels and the assistant’s two taels are split from the twenty-seven taels given by the three guests. Three times nine equals twenty-seven, the amount the guests had paid, also includes the two taels hidden by the shop assistant… Therefore, those two sets of money come from the same lot.”

“That also means that since three times nine equals twenty-seven taels, with the stolen two taels counted within, there cannot be any further addition, as that will create a repeat count if done.”

“Adding in the three taels that were returned, the total amount will be exactly 30 taels, so this bill is correct.”

Su Luo’s explanation of the solution was clear, concise, and detailed. Nevertheless, as her speech was quite fast, only the quick-witted ones were able to grasp the logic.

In fact, all three other people understood what she was saying, with the only exception being Li Luoming, who had a blank look on his face with his eyes spinning like a mosquito coil…

Nevertheless, it didn’t matter if he understood or not, as all that mattered was whether the system god understood.

And so, with a clang, the heavy metal door opened.

“It opened? It actually opened?!” The still-confused Li Luoming immediately tossed aside the irritating thoughts about three times nine equals to twenty-seven and whatnot and rushed straight in.
