"The most likely identity of Miss Qingcheng is that she is a descendant of the Hongyue family. Just because Hongyue Lingxiao cannot recognize Miss Qingcheng, you cannot conclude that she has nothing to do with the Hongyue family." Bai Ze said.
"You're right, we still need more clues." Ling Xuewei nodded.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the small building where Ling Xuewei lived.
Qingcheng ran over and opened the door and saw an aunt in her fifties standing outside looking at her with a smile.
"These few people who can live here must be distinguished guests from Red Moon City." The aunt walked into the house very familiarly, "You can call me Aunt Zhang. It was Elder Ling Xiao who asked me to come over and take charge of the daily life of these distinguished guests.
Dietary.”
Everyone looked at them in surprise. They never thought that the arrangements in Red Moon City were so meticulous. They not only gave them a place to live, but also had people responsible for taking care of them.
"Aunt Zhang is from Yuedong Village?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"Yes, my family has been living in Yuedong Village for generations. The house I live in is near this small building. If you need me to do anything, just say hello and I will come over right away." Aunt Zhang said.
While doing so, he had neatly cleared out a table in the hall.
Aunt Zhang was holding a food box in her hand. After clearing the table, she opened the food box and quickly placed the food in the box on the table.
"Elder Lingxiao's arrangement today is really too sudden. I can't prepare better food. I can only let a few distinguished guests eat the same thing as my dinner. Just tell me what you want to eat, distinguished guests.
I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”
Aunt Zhang looked at the guests in the small building nervously, fearing that the dinner guests she brought would be dissatisfied.
Ling Xuewei looked at the dinner on the table. Most of them were vegetarian dishes, but a steamed fish plus a plate of chicken and eggs. Ling Xuewei knew that this was definitely the best thing Aunt Zhang could offer to entertain guests.
"Aunt Zhang, you are so polite. The dinner was very rich. Thank you." Ling Xuewei said with a smile.
While talking, Ling Xuewei and others were already sitting around the dining table.
Ling Xuewei looked at the people who were fighting to the death some time ago, and now they were able to sit at the same table and eat happily. She felt amazing when she thought about it.
Aunt Zhang was visibly relieved to see that Ling Xuewei and the others were kinder than she expected.
"Do you need me to clean up the room for you? Or is there anything else you need me to do?" Aunt Zhang asked actively.
"We can clean up the room ourselves, so we don't need to trouble Aunt Zhang." Ling Xuewei saw Aunt Zhang standing aside, so she invited Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, do you want to sit down and eat some more with us?
"
"No, no, I've already had dinner at home. Girl, there are a few distinguished guests. You can eat slowly. When you're done, just leave the bowls and chopsticks and let me clean them up." Aunt Zhang said.
"Aunt Zhang, you said that your family's ancestors have lived in Yuedong Village for generations. The relationship between Yuedong Village and the Hongyue family in Hongyue City must be very close, right? Otherwise, how could Elder Lingxiao let you take care of us?" Ling Xuewei?
It seemed that she was too bored watching Aunt Zhang standing there stupidly, so she started the chatting mode and chatted with Aunt Zhang about home affairs.
"Isn't that right! We in Yuedong Village all rely on the Hongyue family in Hongyue City for our living." Aunt Zhang's tone was full of pride.
"It seems that if there is any trouble in Red Moon City, it will definitely not escape the ears of Yuedong Village!" Ling Xuewei said half-jokingly.
"That's natural!" Aunt Zhang is obviously a very talkative person, "Yedong Village is only ten miles away from Red Moon City. Even if the city lord of Red Moon City sneezes, we will know it right away!
"
"Hahaha..." Ling Xuewei covered her mouth and laughed.
Others at the dinner table were also amused by Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang saw that Ling Xuewei and the others were the distinguished guests greeted by Elder Lingxiao who must take good care of them, so she had no scruples about telling them interesting things about Red Moon City.
Originally, Aunt Zhang was just an ordinary villager in Yuedong Village. If Elder Lingxiao hadn't suddenly assigned her a mission, she would not have had any interaction with the Hongyue family.
Aunt Zhang doesn't know any secrets about Red Moon City, so there's no need to worry about her saying something she shouldn't.
Aunt Zhang said whatever she wanted, and chatted happily with Ling Xuewei.
Naturally, Aunt Zhang would not know that in what she said casually, there were many things that she did not think were important at all, but they were information that Ling Xuewei urgently needed to know.
Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Ling Xuewei pretended to be curious and continued.
"Before, I thought about going to Red Moon City to visit. After all, Red Moon City is so famous and is one of the three major cities in Cang Yun Realm. But when I came here, I found out that Red Moon City was sealed.
"
Ling Xuewei sighed as she spoke.
"Miss Ling, the timing of your coming to Red Moon City is really unlucky. The lockdown of Red Moon City was quite sudden. It was sealed immediately without even saying hello!" Aunt Zhang said, "When the city was closed, it was sealed.
When we entered Hongyue City, our Yuedong Village was also shocked. Several villagers who entered Hongyue City to do business were almost imprisoned in Hongyue City and could not come back!"
"I almost couldn't come back. How did I come back later?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"The gates of Red Moon City were not completely closed at that time. They said that only people from Red Moon City were allowed to stay in the city. Anyone who was not a resident of Red Moon City would be released as long as they proved that they were not suspicious people." Zhang
The aunt continued, "We, the villagers of Yuedong Village, go in and out of Hongyue City all year round. We can always find two acquaintances in Hongyue City, so the guards did not make things difficult for us and just let the villagers from our village come back."
"Aunt Zhang, you said that the closure of Red Moon City was sudden. So the residents of Red Moon City who were outside Red Moon City before and had no time to go back, have they returned to Red Moon City?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"Everyone has gone back." Aunt Zhang talked a little too much with Ling Xuewei, and her mouth was almost dry. Ling Xuewei poured Aunt Zhang a cup of tea very considerately, "You said that the city was closed for only one or two days. If it was just
It’s enough for everyone to tolerate it for a day or two. It’s been more than two months since the city was closed this time. Hongyue City can’t let the people living there become homeless vagrants, right?”
"That is to say, the people left in Hongyue City are all the residents who originally lived in Hongyue City. All other people in Hongyue City have been cleared out!" Ling Xuewei said thoughtfully.
Said thoughtfully.
This is not like a city lockdown, but like a search for suspicious people throughout the city.
Red Moon City has been closed for more than two months, and all residents are under the control of Red Moon City. It is almost impossible for anyone to continue to hide in the already under martial law Red Moon City.
And looking at the current situation in Red Moon City, the move to seal the city will continue.
Qingcheng was kidnapped from Hongyue City by people from the Taihe Sect. Ling Xuewei still remembered that Kong Mao and Qingyin said that the Taihe Sect paid a heavy price for kidnapping Qingcheng.
Don’t you know that the closure of Red Moon City this time is actually an investigation of the remnants of the Taihe Sect that had sneaked into Red Moon City and kidnapped people?
Ling Xuewei suppressed the questions in her mind and quietly changed the topic.
"Aunt Zhang, I heard that the city is closed this time because the city lord of Red Moon City is seriously ill, and the alchemist competition is also to find a suitable alchemist to treat the city lord. What is the disease of the city lord of Red Moon City, and why?
So serious?"
"Miss Ling doesn't know?" Aunt Zhang looked at Ling Xuewei in surprise.
Ling Xuewei shook her head blankly, and she suddenly realized that the question she just asked was not a secret.
"I actually came to Middle-earth from the secular world not long ago, and I don't know much about the situation in Middle-earth. Although I participated in the alchemist competition this time because I wanted to join in the fun, everyone in the competition said
No, what if I get the ranking and have the honor to heal the Lord of Red Moon City?"
Ling Xuewei looked at Aunt Zhang sincerely.
"So I should always know about the physical condition of the Lord of Red Moon City, and ask Aunt Zhang for help!"
"It turns out that Miss Ling came from the secular world!" Aunt Zhang's tone was full of admiration.
Most of these cultivators in the Middle Earth look down upon cultivators who came from the secular world, and feel that cultivators in the secular world are just rubes.
But it is different in the eyes of ordinary people in the land of Middle-earth. Cultivators are like god-like existences in their hearts, and cultivators who come from the secular world have to overcome many difficulties. Just like ordinary people like them think
It’s the same as practicing.
Perhaps because of this little resonance, they have more admiration for those from the secular world who come to the land of Middle-earth to cultivate.
Ling Xuewei has never concealed her name. If you know her name and do a little research, you will know that she is a disciple of the Tianxing Sect.
Ling Xuewei didn't come to Red Moon City to do anything shameful, so there was no need to hide her identity.
As for the fact that she came from the secular world, Ling Xuewei never thought there was anything shameful about it.
The people of Middle-earth are indeed very particular about their origins, but they are even more particular about their strength.
As long as Ling Xuewei is strong enough, I believe no one in Middle-earth would dare to laugh at her because Ling Xuewei is from the secular world.
"The city lord of Red Moon City has never been in good health, and the city lord's wife has been in charge of the overall situation of Red Moon City for so many years. The city lord has been bedridden all year round. I can't explain the specific illness, but it seems that the city is closed this time.
It’s because the city lord’s condition suddenly worsened.”
"My health has never been good, and I have been bedridden all year round..."
Ling Xuewei touched her chin, as if remembering something, and then confirmed to Aunt Zhang, "Did the city lord's illness really suddenly worsen? Was there no sign at all before?"
