Chapter 10: The Weird Xue Family
Xie Ling finally returned to the inn, which made Jingyi, who was thinking about him, feel relieved a lot. However, although Xie Ling had a smile on her face, she felt like a storm was about to come. Maybe this is the so-called woman's Be intuitive!
"Oh, the people from Qingling Gate will deliver the goods tomorrow. Their work efficiency is really high!" A meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"No, when I went there in the morning, I said it would take at least three days. I didn't expect someone to come and notify me of the delivery in the evening. But it's okay. We can go to the black market in the mining area outside the city early to experience it. I heard that there are a lot of cheap goods there. Something!" Shen Conghu laughed.
They chatted for a few more words and then went back to their rooms to rest. This was not Tongcheng, so the seven of them each asked for a room. Xie Ling returned to his room, closed the door behind his back and put away the smile on his face. If he hadn't expected it, If I'm wrong, the fact that Qinglingmen came to notify me of the delivery so quickly this time should be related to the eldest son of the Xue family, who couldn't wait to send me and his party away from Guocheng!
A disciple of the Qingling Sect was so attentive to a secular little girl that he even avoided him and kidnapped her. There were also the slaves of the Xue family and Qi Wei of the Qingling Sect, who were all along the way. None of them were seen, only a few galloping horses without owners, and black ashes in the sand!
The black ashes were obviously just left after something burned, and you could even feel a trace of its residual heat.
Killing the slaves and fellow disciples, and then bypassing him and kidnapping the little girl, this is obviously not something that a normal cultivator would do. There must be something in it that he doesn't know!
Xie Ling's eyebrows tightened. According to what he learned along the way, the Xue family has been prosperous in Guocheng for hundreds of years, and even most of the miners were recruited by it. This is something that ordinary families cannot do, but all All information shows that the Xue family has only one Xue Xiangdong who is in the Qi training stage and is under the sect of Qinglingmen elder Yan Xu, along with other immortal cultivators!
This puzzled Xie Ling. Because it was necessary to control such a large business for hundreds of years, even the Xie family, one of the four major immortal cultivating families of Cang Yue Sect, could not do it! How did the Xue family do it? ?[
The more I think about it, the more bizarre and unpredictable it becomes. Xie Ling came here in order to avoid the chaos of evil cultivators. Naturally, he did not want to cause trouble. This was one of the reasons why he did not take action the first time. Now the other party is using means to force When I and others left Guocheng, their intention was obviously not to have a direct conflict with themselves, and perhaps there was a hint of warning in it.
Various signs indicate that this true disciple of the Qingling Sect elder is a ruthless and thoughtful person.
Such an enemy is very scary. According to normal thinking, he should stop here to avoid unnecessary danger. But whenever Xie Ling thinks of the little girl waving to him in the carriage and calling her 'big brother', she looks so lovable. Even if the Dharma is let go, he still cannot reach the state where his mind is like still water and is not moved by external objects!
In the Yihong Mansion, the old madam Lin Jiaoniang drank a few more drinks today in order to deal with several wealthy businessmen in the city. She was dizzy and held the wall to the outside of her room. She fumbled for the key from her waist for a long time before opening the door. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt numb and fainted.
"You're awake"
Lin Jiaoniang opened her drowsy eyes and was petrified by the scene in front of her.
He was trapped in the black quicksand, and the wandering souls around him were constantly floating on it. If it were not blocked by a layer of white light, they would immediately fall down.
"Who are you?" She was so frightened that her drunkenness disappeared. She kept struggling to climb up, but how could she get out of the quicksand? No matter how hard she tried, it was in vain.
"You don't have to worry about who I am. I'll ask you questions and answer them. If you make a mistake, I will send a ghost to accompany you. Do you understand?"
The voice was cold, as if coming from hell.
Lin Jiaoniang looked at the wandering soul above who was grinning at her and nodded hurriedly to express her understanding.
"Tell me about what happened to Second Young Master Xue recently. Don't leave out a single thing. Do you understand?"
"I don't dare, Mr. Xue"
"Um"[
Lin Jiaoniang saw that the white light above that blocked the wandering souls dimmed, and those things rushed straight down.
"I said, I said"
"That's right! Tell me clearly one by one. If you make any mistake or miss something, I will let them go."
A moment later, Xie Ling came out of the Yihong Building. If he had been a step late, the old Madam Lin Jiaoniang would not have been able to tell him so many things.
Two unnamed killers sneaked into his room quietly and knocked Lin Jiaoniang, who was moved to the bed again by Xie Ling after interrogation!
He knew who sent those people without having to guess. Killing people and silencing them was so vicious!
Early the next morning, someone came from the Qingling Sect. Shen Conghu and seven others followed him to the old house of the Yang family. The person in charge of the delivery was a young monk named Wang Jun who was on the 13th floor of the Qi training period. The inspection process went smoothly.
, after issuing the receipt to Shen Conghu, he still asked with concern when he would return, saying that he must give it a ride in person!
Of course, Shen Conghu declined politely. No matter whether the other party was sincere or not, there was no need. Then Wang Jun did not insist and sent the seven people out of the door. The reason why he came to Guocheng to deliver the goods so quickly this time was mainly because Xue Xiangdong sent someone to tell him
He saw a rare material that he had always wanted, and told him to come here as soon as possible. Many people were very interested in the material, so he rushed from Black Spirit Mountain to the city that night. Today's delivery was just incidental!
In Wuying Villa, Mr. Xue took the information from his men and hurried towards a secret room inside.
"How's it going? Have they left?" Xue Xiangdong opened his eyes and asked after entering trance.
"Let's go. According to the latest news sent by my subordinates just now, they checked out and left the west city after completing the delivery in the morning!" Xue Xiangxi replied.
"Xicheng! Why not Dongcheng? Shouldn't we go back to Cang Yue Sect through Dongcheng?" Xue Xiangdong frowned.
"They went towards the black market. They must be planning to buy some things before leaving!" Xue Xiangxi said.
"It's possible that you can ask people to pay close attention, but remember to alert others. Just know their movements, especially the monk named Xie!" Xue Xiangdong said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, I will do as you told me!" Xue Xiangxi nodded and went out.
"Hmph! If I didn't want to make the matter bigger, I would really want to have a meeting with this newly minted top ten member of Cang Yue Sect!" Xue Xiangdong took out a jade slip from his arms.
