"No..." Aunt Zhang thought about it seriously and shook her head, "All the news about the City Lord came from Hongyue Pavilion. They said that the City Lord's condition is very serious. As for how serious it is, we all
Ordinary people really don’t understand.”
"Then...before it was reported that the city lord was seriously ill, did anything strange happen in Red Moon City?" Ling Xuewei then asked.
"What is a strange thing?" Aunt Zhang was puzzled.
"Anything is fine, as long as you think it's different from usual." Ling Xuewei continued to persuade, "This city lord's illness will definitely not be caused suddenly, so before Red Moon City is closed, there will definitely be some
It’s a sign, think about it carefully!”
"This..." Aunt Zhang really hoped to help Ling Xuewei. She thought hard for a long time and finally shook her head, "Before the city was closed, Hongyue City was the same as before. There was nothing special. If it really
If there were, we wouldn't have been so surprised by the lockdown."
"That's right!" Ling Xuewei nodded, "Aunt Zhang, I'll chat with you until I lose track of time. I won't delay your business, right?"
"Miss Ling, there is no such thing. I haven't had such a happy chat for a long time." Aunt Zhang saw that Ling Xuewei and others had finished their dinner and quickly cleared the dishes on the table.
Aunt Zhang felt a little excited in her heart. Ling Xuewei was a high-ranking fairy to her. However, not only was this fairy not cold at all, but she could also talk to her so much. Aunt Zhang felt that such a thing was enough.
She has been bragging to her neighbors for a long time.
Ling Xuewei sent Aunt Zhang out, and after dinner, everyone in the small building returned to their rooms.
Qingcheng followed Ling Xuewei.
"Xuewei, you asked Aunt Zhang so many questions, have you found any clues?" Qingcheng looked at Ling Xuewei nervously.
Although Qingcheng was listening when Ling Xuewei and Aunt Zhang were chatting, Ling Xuewei and Aunt Zhang were so far apart that they could talk about any topic, which made Qingcheng completely confused as to where Ling Xuewei's focus was.
Qingcheng knew that Ling Xuewei didn't have that much free time to chat with someone she just met.
"There are some clues, but these clues not only failed to solve the doubts in my heart, but made me feel that Red Moon City is getting weirder and weirder." Ling Xuewei sighed, "But not this time.
In the gambling game, I also have to get the ranking in this alchemist competition, because only in this way can I meet the city lord of Red Moon City and know what disease the city lord of Red Moon City has!"
"Xuewei, so you are planning to go to the Lord of Red Moon City to treat his illness, right?" Qingcheng asked.
Ling Xuewei wanted to win the alchemist competition before, in order to enter the Red Moon City. Treating the Lord of the Red Moon City was a secondary matter. As for whether this disease could be favored by Ling Xuewei, Ling Xuewei didn't even think about it.
get through this problem.
But now Ling Xuewei took the initiative to care about the condition of the city lord of Red Moon City. Listening to Ling Xuewei's tone, Qingcheng seemed to think that entering Red Moon City was secondary.
"Don't you think that the illness of the Lord of Red Moon City came too suddenly and too much of a coincidence?" Ling Xuewei looked at Qingcheng.
"Is the coincidence you mentioned coincident with the time when I was kidnapped?" Qingcheng seemed to understand what Ling Xuewei meant.
"I'm not quite sure when exactly you were kidnapped by the Taihe Sect, but this time must have been before the city lord of Red Moon City was seriously ill and closed the city. Is there any intrinsic connection between the two?
We studied it carefully." Ling Xuewei said.
"Xuewei, I don't know why, but I feel very panicked right now." Qingcheng held Ling Xuewei's hand tightly.
"Qingcheng, actually, like you, I always feel that the closure of Red Moon City is not what they claim to the outside world at all. It is just because the Lord of Red Moon City is seriously ill. This matter is not as simple as we thought." Ling Xuewei shook back.
Holding Qingcheng's hand, "There are more and more strange things. Aunt Zhang said that on the eve of the closure of Red Moon City, there was nothing abnormal in the entire Red Moon City. But when we overheard what Taihe Sect said, they wanted to catch
You suffered huge losses in Red Moon City, and many Taihe Sect disciples died."
"If it is determined that many people died in Red Moon City, this kind of thing must not be hidden, and Yuedong Village must be aware of the abnormalities in Red Moon City." Qingcheng said, "There are differences in the two sides' statements.
So is one party lying to us?"
"I overheard the conversation between Taihe Zongkongmao and Qingyin, so there is no possibility of them lying." Ling Xuewei said, "And who would deliberately curse a disciple of his sect to death."
"Then... is Aunt Zhang lying to us?" Qingcheng couldn't accept it.
A seemingly amiable aunt in Yuedong Village actually had such terrifying intentions.
"Don't let anyone think you have ulterior motives because of what happened to the Zhang brothers and sisters." Ling Xuewei couldn't help but laugh, "Aunt Zhang is just an ordinary villager. These villagers usually have nothing to do except chat about Red Moon City.
I can't even think of other entertainment activities because of my gossip, otherwise the villagers of Yuedong Village will know why there is any trouble in Hongyue City."
As Ling Xuewei spoke, her fingers tapped the edge of the table.
"And it's useless even if she lies to us about this kind of thing. There are so many villagers in Yue East Village. We just need to find another villager to come and ask. If what she said is a lie, it will be exposed immediately? You know this
The alchemist competition hasn't even started yet, and she told a lie that can be seen through so easily. Doesn't she tell us clearly that there is something wrong with her?"
"Then... why do Aunt Zhang and the people from the Taihe Sect have two completely different opinions? Whose opinion is wrong?" Qingcheng was completely confused.
"What if neither party is lying?" Ling Xuewei said lightly, "Such a situation is the most terrifying!"
Qingcheng looked at Ling Xuewei in confusion.
Ling Xuewei explained: "Taihe Sect brought a large number of disciples to Hongyue City. In order to get you out of Hongyue City, they killed many disciples. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, it is impossible for the movement to be small.
Where to go, but the ordinary people in Red Moon City don’t even know that people from Taihe Sect have been here? So this matter was suppressed by Red Moon City, or what? Don’t you think that if you think about it carefully?
Do people have a creepy feeling?"
"What should we do now?" Qingcheng didn't know why, but she felt like she wanted to escape from Red Moon City.
"We can only take one step at a time." Ling Xuewei sighed.
***************************************
Hongyue Lingxiao arranged a place for Ling Xuewei and others to live. As the party betting against Ling Xuewei, the Heavenly Beast Sect also promised that as long as the bet was successful, it would give Hongyue City 10% of the gambling money as a reward. Naturally, the Heavenly Beast Sect also wanted to
Arrange a place for them to live without discrimination.
Although the residence in Yuedong Village is very tight now, it is Hong Yue City's own territory after all. In order to show his fairness, Hong Yue Lingxiao also arranged a beautiful small building for the people of Tianshou Sect.
This house is not only exactly the same as where Ling Xuewei lives, but it is also right next door to where Ling Xuewei lives.
Even the villagers who take care of the daily life and food of the guests in the small building have the same arrangement.
Red Moon Lingxiao strives to make people unable to find any faults.
After Qu Liping found out that he lived next door to Ling Xuewei, he almost wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
He always kept in mind the task entrusted to him by Feng Zexin, and he must get the kitten that Ling Xuewei always carried with him.
As the saying goes, those who are near the water and the tower first get the moon. This arrangement gave him great convenience.
In full view of Yuedong Village, where cultivators are everywhere, it would definitely not be good to rob it directly. However, if Ling Xuewei did not take good care of her pet and the pet disappeared, Ling Xuewei would not be able to blame anyone.
With Qu Liping's cultivation level, it would be easy for him to take something from Ling Xuewei without anyone noticing.
"Go and watch where Ling Xuewei lives. If the kitten next to her is alone, report it to me immediately!" Qu Liping ordered his disciples.
The disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect tremblingly received the task, and when they were preparing to conduct a comprehensive surveillance of the small building where Ling Xuewei lived, they suddenly discovered that they could not carry out this task at all.
No matter how hard they tried, the small building next door was just a short distance away, as if it was covered with a black cloth, and they couldn't even detect a single corner of the house.
The disciples quickly reported to Qu Liping the difficulties they encountered during their mission.
"How could such a thing happen!" Qu Liping couldn't believe it at all. "Although that girl named Ling's cultivation is pretty good, she's not good enough to stop you from checking the whole house!"
As soon as Qu Liping entered the small building, in order to prevent him from being spied by other cultivators in Yuedong Village, he filled the entire house with his powerful aura, so that no one could spy on the beasts in the small building.
Every move of the door.
This can only be accomplished by cultivators at the Martial Emperor realm. Qu Liping couldn't believe it no matter what, Ling Xuewei's cultivation was already on par with him.
"Although that girl deliberately hid her cultivation, her cultivation has definitely not reached the level of the Martial Emperor! We must have overlooked something!" Qu Liping said angrily through gritted teeth.
It was really because Ling Xuewei had been so impressive at the gambling table that people couldn't help but ignore the other people who were following Ling Xuewei.
"Old guy! It must be that old guy! Unexpectedly, Ling Xuewei is accompanied by a cultivator of the Martial Emperor Realm!" Qu Liping let out an angry roar.
