While Qin Baiyi was spouting nonsense inside Dustdream Hall.
Ye Li had not looked directly at her soul in the hall, which had allowed her to slip through the cracks.
He sighed inwardly.
All that excitement for nothing.
"I wouldn't dare! Never again, I swear!"
Seeing that Ye Li had no intention of killing her, Qin Baiyi felt as though she had been pardoned and hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement.
And that was not all.
This woman was the sort who took a mile whenever she was given an inch.
Once she confirmed that her life was safe, she immediately turned into a shameless bootlicker, sidling up to Ye Li and thumping her chest as she declared:
"Rest assured, Prefect Ye."
"I might not be much of a fighter, but when it comes to swindling people and pretending to be a big shot, I'm a seasoned expert who's traveled far and wide!"
"If you ever run into any fellow practitioners of my trade waving some sect's banner to con people, just leave them to me."
"Give me two encounters at most, and my professional eye will see right through them for you."
"With our strengths combined, we'll build something bigger and better!"
"..."
Ye Li looked at this fawning oddball and let out a long sigh.
He had thought he had struck it lucky with a client arriving at his doorstep, only to find she was all show and no substance.
No wonder he had not earned any points.
He simply turned his head away, not bothering to engage with her.
When Ye Li ignored her, Qin Baiyi turned a pitiful, pleading gaze toward Pei You'an.
Pei You'an rolled her eyes at her and snapped:
"You deserved it. Let's see if you dare go around stirring up trouble again."
