“Stop fooling around and get down to business!” Luo Cheng said at this moment, then looked at Wu Qinghe. “Didn’t you say that you have a lot of skills? This wooden box is locked. Can you open it?”

“Luban Lock? I can unlock it!” Before Wu Qinghe could speak, Shu Ruyue spoke first. “I liked to pick locks since I was young. When I was six years old, the locks at home could no longer stump me. Later, my father saw that I was interested in picking locks, so he brought a famous lock picker in the martial world to teach me how to pick locks! I’ve picked a lot of Luban Locks before!” As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran was amused.

She really didn’t expect that the friends she met were each more impressive than the last.

Shu Ruyue was a chivalrous woman, so she didn’t expect her to have a penchant for picking locks.

This hobby was quite weird!

After Shu Ruyue finished speaking, she realized what she had said.

Thinking of how she had attracted the disdain and vigilance of others when she flaunted her special abilities in the past, Shu Ruyue regretted it now.

After she looked at the three people at the side, she met Li Xiaoran’s mirthful gaze.

Shu Ruyue understood the meaning of this smile very clearly.

Li Xiaoran didn’t look down on her as she had imagined. Instead, she was curious and approving.

Then, she looked at Luo Cheng. Although he looked surprised, he didn’t look disgusted.

As for Wu Qinghe, he looked at Shu Ruyue in shock.

“Do you still lack a disciple? This skill is quite impressive. Can I learn it from you?”

Shu Ruyue was confused.

However, when she saw Wu Qinghe’s burning gaze, she knew that he was not joking. He really wanted to learn it.

“Don’t you think this is something thieves do? Don’t you feel contempt?” Shu Ruyue asked.

“How can that be?” Wu Qinghe replied in surprise, “It’s not black or white. It’s good when used in the right way, but bad when used in a crooked way. Therefore, there’s no such thing as good or bad. It just depends on what the person who has it uses it for. Did you use this ability to steal other people’s things?”

Shu Ruyue shook her head and quickly explained, “I just like to pick locks. I don’t steal from others at all!”

“That’s right!” Wu Qinghe nodded and praised, “You didn’t use your lock-picking skills to do bad things, so why should I look down on you?”

“That’s right! Wu Qinghe is right. You don’t have to feel burdened. On the contrary, I think you’re very impressive! Very few women like to learn this sort of thing. You should continue to deepen your ability and benefit many people!! ” Li Xiaoran walked over with a smile and said.

“Benefit many people?” Shu Ruyue didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say this, but these words touched her, making her unable to help but be tempted. “Xiaoran, can my ability benefit many people?”

“That’s right!” Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded.

“Ruyue, think about it. If you use your lock-picking skills on a case, wouldn’t it help the constables solve the case and avenge people? If you continue to study it, you can open locks and research locks that others can’t open. Then, you can use it on an escort agency. Won’t that protect the assets of many people? Also, there are many corrupt officials in the imperial court. Some upright officials want to send out evidence, but some corrupt officials think of ways to destroy this evidence. If you can research some locks that protect the evidence, won’t you be able to help bring the bad guys to justice?”

Li Xiaoran’s words enlightened Shu Ruyue.

Shu Ruyue realized how beneficial her talent in picking locks was!

At this moment, Shu Ruyue, who already had dreams of being a female warrior, felt as if she had found the meaning of her existence!

Shu Ruyue hugged Li Xiaoran and said happily, “Xiaoran, thank you. Your words enlightened me. I finally know what I want to do!”

After Li Xiaoran was hugged by Shu Ruyue, she also felt her heartfelt joy and was sincerely happy for her.

“Then can you help my friend unlock Luban first?” Li Xiaoran teased.

Only then did Shu Ruyue remember the matter at hand. She smiled awkwardly and turned to Luo Cheng to get the lock. “Leave this to me! I’ll unlock the door for you now!”

As Shu Ruyue spoke, she took out a tool bag.

Others had sewing kits, but Shu Ruyue had a tool kit on her.

There were all kinds of tools, big and small. The tools seemed quite Drofessional to Li Xiaoran.

These tools must be very useful.

After Shu Ruyue took out a slender tool and held it in her hand, her eyes landed on the Luban lock.

After turning it over many times, Shu Ruyue didn’t make a move, as if she was observing something.

After a while, Shu Ruyue finally stopped flipping the Luban lock and placed her tools into the lock.

After that, Shu Ruyue took out all kinds of tools and inserted them into the keyhole.

Shu Ruyue twisted her slender fingers slightly and touched something again. Then, she heard a crisp sound and the Luban lock was unlocked.

“Fortunately, this lock is open now!” Shu Ruyue said happily with a smile.

“You’ve really broadened my horizons!” Wu Qinghe was sincerely impressed by Shu Ruyue!

Without some capability, one really couldn’t open this thing.

However, Shu Ruyue opened it easily!

Wu Qinghe couldn’t help but admire her capability!

“How impressive. I can’t help but feel shocked!” Li Xiaoran praised sincerely.

As expected, there were capable people everywhere in this world!

They couldn’t underestimate anyone. Every ordinary person might be a secret expert!

“Stop praising me. I’ll be embarrassed if you continue! Let’s see what’s in this box!”

Everyone’s expressions became serious.

“I’ll open it! If it’s poison, I can deal with it immediately! All of you, stand further away! ” Luo Cheng thought of something and said.

The others also knew that Luo Cheng’s medical skills were brilliant, so they didn’t object. Instead, they took a few steps back as Luo Cheng said.

Although Li Xiaoran was a little worried, she knew that she couldn’t drag them down at this moment, so she took a few steps back!
