He had long taken advantage of the tax collector's transfer of property, using the Thousand Shadows Stealing Skill and the Yang Pei Technique to steal two booklets issued by the Celestial Heart Sect.
Xu Qing's technique was fast; in the blink of an eye, he pulled out the booklets from his bosom and handed them to the leading tax collector.

No need for you officials to waste your words and effort; these extra four strings of cash can be considered as the joint fine paid by me and the owner of the Incense and Candle Shop."
