Ouyang Xun could understand her mood at the moment. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "I'm afraid only the person involved can answer this answer." Then, turning to the guard who had been standing below him from the beginning, "Wei Qing
, take me to meet those guests with suspicious identities."
Qin Shuiyue immediately said: "I'll go with you."
Ouyang Xun stared at the other party without any objection. The group left the temple through the back door.
"Everyone is missing? What's going on?"
When I arrived at the inn, I didn't see the person I wanted to see. Instead, I was faced with an empty scene.
It was the first time that the shopkeeper saw such a distinguished guest in the store. He was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He followed behind with a look of fear and explained: "Those guests had already checked out and left not long ago."
"Where have they gone?" Qin Shuiyue asked eagerly. Since he was not wearing a veil, the shopkeeper was not able to determine the identity of the other party. But because he was following Ouyang Xun, he did not dare to neglect him at all.
"This... I don't even know." The shopkeeper answered cautiously, fearing that he might accidentally say the wrong thing and annoy the people in front of him.
He didn't know about the others, but as the lord of Baishui City, Ouyang Xun still knew him.
Ouyang Xun frowned, and the expression on his face finally stopped being calm. He told Wei Qing behind him with a slightly solemn expression: "If this is passed on, the city gate will be sealed immediately, and anyone who encounters any suspicious people will be detained first."
"Yes!" Wei Qing quickly took the people away.
Qin Shuiyue looked at the empty room, almost furious, and asked Ouyang Xun in a bad tone: "What should we do now?"
Although Ouyang Xun's face was solemn, he acted calmly. After hearing this, he said calmly: "There is no other way. Let's go back to the temple first and see if we can appease the troubled people."
"What?" Qin Shuiyue heard this and almost exclaimed in a high-pitched voice: "You actually want me to face those stupid people? Didn't you hear what they said? They want me to hand over the spirit stone, and then
Going to the altar to plead guilty to the gods? This is simply a joke. Someone is obviously up to something, so why should I plead guilty to the gods?"
Ouyang Xun interrupted the other party and analyzed calmly: "That's enough, Ah Yue, listen to me, the purpose of those people is obvious, they are to target you. If you don't show up now, the people of Baishui City will only think that you have a guilty conscience.
You will be even more convinced that you are the culprit who caused everyone to suffer divine punishment."
"But you know clearly that someone is behind this matter and are targeting me intentionally. If I go out to face those stupid people now, wouldn't I be falling into their trap?" Qin Shuiyue admitted that what the other party said made sense, but she was unwilling to let it go.
In this way, the enemy leads you by the nose.
Ouyang Xun had a stern look on his face and reminded him in an increasingly calm voice: "Even if you know that someone is up to something, you still have to show up, otherwise, you will really fall into the opponent's trap."
"What do you mean?" Qin Shuiyue looked at the other party in confusion.
Ouyang Xun sighed and said, "Have you forgotten your duty? The city's citizens are in trouble, and as the high priest, you must appear. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth. When the time comes, you will not just go there.
It’s such an easy thing to solve by asking the gods to apologize.”
Qin Shuiyue suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then realized the seriousness of the problem.
Dare to love that the other party has already dug a hole with no way out, just waiting for her to jump down step by step...
