Qingming Tower is not located on the bank of the bustling Huaihe River, but it is a small, independent building at the foot of the West Mountain.
Surrounded by green mountains, green trees, a small bridge and flowing water in front, the scenery is beautiful. It is definitely an excellent resort.
Unfortunately, due to the closure of business, the row of lanterns outside were not lit, so it looked a bit deserted, as if no one lived there.
But when you get closer, you can see a faint candlelight coming from inside the house, reflecting on the windows with carved phoenixes, giving it a permeable gloom.
Without Mo Jingxiao's company, Ning Yujin would never have come to a place like this, because even if she was standing next to Mo Jingxiao, she could feel the cold wind blowing from behind.
.
Mo Jingxiao reached out and patted her back, comforting her and saying, "I'm here, don't be nervous."
"I...I'm not nervous!" Ning Yujin gritted her teeth and said calmly.
Mo Jingxiao's mouth softened, and he reached out to hold her hand in his: "Then hold me tight, I'm nervous."
These words immediately amused Ning Yujin. She held his hand and said with a smile: "I'm here, don't be nervous."
The manner in which he spoke was 100% similar to that of Mo Jingxiao just now, and his original nervousness was immediately dissipated by these two sentences.
I was about to go there, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a wisp of white shadow suddenly floated out of the Qingming Tower, then I tiptoed a little on the lake and jumped away!
Ning Yujin suddenly exclaimed: "White ghost!"
Mo Jingxiao frowned, took Ning Yujin's hand and followed her quickly.
The white shadow in front ran faster, and Mo Jingxiao was even faster. Even with Ning Yujin, the distance was only three or two feet away in a few breaths.
Mo Jingxiao didn't take another step closer, but concentrated on his palms and struck out violently, sending a cold air directly to the white figure's back!
The white figure also seemed to sense the danger behind him. He stopped and spun around to avoid Mo Jingxiao's palm.
However, at this moment, Mo Jingxiao had already arrived in front of the white figure. With a push from his palm, he removed the white veil covering the white figure's face.
Ning Yujin had sharp eyes, and when she saw the white figure's face, she immediately exclaimed: "Leng Ruyue!"
Seeing that Leng Ruyue was no match for Mo Jingxiao, she spun around and landed on the ground. She was wearing white clothes and had a somewhat cold attitude.
"How could it be you?" Ning Yujin couldn't believe her eyes.
It turns out that the best girl in the world can not only play the piano and paint, but also be good at martial arts. And at this time, she came out of the Qingming Tower wearing a white dress...
What does this mean?
Just when he was surprised, Mo Jingxiao shook his head: "The white shadow last time was not her."
Ning Yujin paused: "Isn't it her?"
Mo Jingxiao glanced at Leng Ruyue indifferently, then looked back: "The difference in kung fu is too far."
Ning Yujin thought about it carefully and suddenly understood.
Yes, Mo Jingxiao said last time that Bai Ying was a peerless master and he might not even be able to win. But Leng Ruyue in front of him, who was chased by him in just a few strokes, seemed to be on a different level.
But if she, a well-dressed young lady dressed like this, comes here for a stroll, she can't possibly say she's here to admire the moon, right?
At this time, Leng Ruyue said: "Don't think too much, you two. I also feel that this Qingming Building is very abnormal. I suspect that the recent murder case is related to this place, so I just came here to investigate."
Ning Yujin looked at Leng Ruyue and felt that she was not someone who would tell such lies, but there were still some questions lingering in her mind.
"Who are you? You pretended to fall yesterday. Are you trying to test me?"
Leng Ruyue was silent for a moment, and only said: "Master Ning doesn't need to know that much, you just need to know that I have no bad intentions. Everything I did was just to seek justice for those innocent women."
A strange smile appeared on Ning Yujin's face, and she suddenly said: "Miss Leng is also from Yunting Villa, right?"
Leng Ruyue's eyes changed, and she said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Ning Yujin tilted her head and said with a smile: "I am somewhat familiar with Qinggong. I have some similarities with the Thirty-six Tiangang. Even if I am not from the same sect, I have been taught by them, right?"
What a coincidence, in order to develop a Qinggong skill that could allow her to escape at critical moments, she had been working hard on it recently, so she paid extra attention to everyone's Qinggong skill, and she could see the clues at a glance.
When Leng Ruyue heard this, her body suddenly trembled.
Ning Yujin had no intention of pursuing the question any further. She changed the subject and suddenly asked, "What did you find when you went to Qingming Tower?"
Leng Ruyue still couldn't keep up with Ning Yujin's thoughts. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "I didn't find anything. It was empty inside, as if no one lived in it, but there were lights on in the room, which looked very strange."
"Why do you suspect that you went to Qingming Tower?" Ning Yujin asked again.
Leng Ruyue didn't mean to hide anything, she said everything in detail: "The Qingming Tower popped up overnight, and its origins are really strange. Moreover, many wealthy businessmen in Zhuzhou City seemed not to be right after going to the Qingming Tower.
Especially that member of the staff, who often came to me to drink tea in the past, but he only came to see me once after I went to Qingming Tower. And that time when he came, he said something, he turned into a devil,
You will never be reincarnated."
He became a devil and will never be reincarnated?
What does this mean?
When Ning Yujin was thinking hard about the problem, Leng Ruyue said again: "I suggest you two to investigate the properties of those few members. There are big articles in it."
"Their industry?" Ning Yujin was a little lost in thought, as if she had thought of something.
Leng Ruyue nodded: "I have said everything I should say, and this is all, believe it or not."
But Ning Yujin waved her hand and said, "I believe you are not the murderer, please go."
Leng Ruyue looked at her deeply, turned around, jumped up onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.
Ning Yujin was still a little confused: "Why is she looking at me like that? It's weird."
Mo Jingxiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Maybe you are too cute."
"puff--"
Ning Yujin almost spit, these words really shouldn't have come from Mo Jingxiao.
But it’s strange. Why does my mood suddenly feel better? Why do I feel so giddy?
"Are you still going to Qingming Tower?"
Ning Yujin shook her head with a smile and said very gently: "I'm not going. I'll go back to the Yamen and let Xu Jinsong go check on their property."
"Um."
Mo Jingxiao followed Ning Yujin and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw her jumping up and down.
