After Zhong Shudao left, Lin Yun looked at the scrolls placed on the table.
On the scroll, there are calculations about the value of some items and transportation costs. Judging from the handwriting, it seems to be written by Xueruzhi.
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at business." Lin Yun joked.
"My parents are businessmen, so I still have some experience in these things." Speaking of her parents, Xue Ruzhi's eyes clearly showed sadness.
Xue Ruzhi could laugh off being imprisoned by Man Qingshui for a hundred years, but her parents died tragically at the hands of Man Qingshui because of her, which she could not let go of.
Seeing her sad look, Lin Yun changed the topic and asked, "Aren't you going to practice cultivation?"
Lin Yun had already investigated before and found that Xue Ruzhi's realm was only at the first level of Martial Emperor, but his spiritual consciousness realm, like Lin Yun, had reached the peak of the fourth realm.
This also comes from the fact that she took Lin Yun's special "Snow Flower Soul Lotus" in her previous life.
Xueruzhi shook her head, smiled, looked at Lin Yun, and asked, "Don't you know how to protect me?"
This sentence made Lin Yun stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Xueruzhi lowered her head and said: "I was just joking. Fighting and killing is not suitable for me."
Xue Ruzhi is different from Lin Ying and Yun Ruoxi. She has admiration for Lin Yun in her heart, but she never shows it on the outside.
She did not expect to be able to stand beside Lin Yun and accompany him on the top of the Three Realms. All she wanted was to see Lin Yun safe and sound.
After all, her life was saved by Lin Yun back then, and now that Lin Yun had rescued her from Man Qingshui's clutches and given her two lives, she didn't want to ask for anything extravagantly.
As if feeling that her words were inappropriate, Xueruzhi added: "If you want me to practice, I will."
Lin Yun shook his head. He could see that Xueruzhi really didn't like this kind of fighting and killing.
Presumably when she was Ji Leshan, if it wasn't for herself, she wouldn't have taken action three times or four times.
In this case, Lin Yun also made a decision in his heart and said: "Then the finances of the Tushen Sect will be handed over to you in the future."
The current relationship between the two is a bit subtle, but it is more of a respectful relationship.
Lin Yun's next plan is to hone his talents and strengthen his talents. After all, the situation in the Divine Realm is currently in chaos, and people from the outside world are eyeing the Tushen Sect with eager eyes. He needs to ensure the safety of the Tushen Sect.
At the same time, in the headquarters of the Ghost Face Sect, Lan Fengyuan began to worry because of something.
"Master, will something happen to Mengka?" Ghost Rider was worried. Ten days ago, Lan Fengyuan sent Mengka out to investigate the "Village of the Earth".
In the beginning, Mengka would use the telegraph to report the investigation information to Lan Fengyuan every day. However, since three days ago, Mengka has been completely unreachable, as if he has disappeared from the world.
Lan Fengyuan was also worried. This matter was of great importance and related to the future development of the Ghost Face Sect. He would not allow any mistakes to occur.
"The last location Mengka told was a villa in the west of the "Earth Village". I will go there myself." Lan Fengyuan planned to go there in person, and he had to do this himself.
The "Village of the Earth" is located on an island in the middle of Wuji, and its location is exactly between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. If something goes wrong with Mengka, it will be easier to deal with it based on his strength.
.
"Sect Master, let me go with you." Ghost Rider said immediately, but was rejected by Lan Fengyuan.
Nowadays, the Divine Realm only looks calm on the surface, but it is really turbulent secretly. It would be much easier for him to go alone.
"Sect Master, could it be that someone from the Sanctuary Alliance discovered it?" The Ghost Rider expressed his thoughts. Mengka lost contact, and there were only two possibilities.
The first is to go deep into the "Earth Village" and be attacked by some strange creatures inside, resulting in a loss of contact.
But this possibility is not high. Before Mengka left, Lan Fengyuan had warned him that he could only inquire about information around the "Village of the Earth" and could not enter the "Village of the Earth".
Mengka is timid by nature and has always obeyed Lan Fengyuan's words, so he probably will not enter the "Village of the Earth".
The second possibility is that they were caught by someone from a certain force. There are not many forces near the "Earth Village". They are mostly sects of third-level forces and some rogue bandits.
The strength of Ka level 1 Martial Saint will definitely be able to handle it.
Maybe, this person from a certain force will be a big force, such as the Holy Alliance, Celestial Realm, etc., it is possible.
"It can't be from the Holy Alliance." Lan Fengyuan said firmly. After all, if the Holy Alliance had learned about this matter, they would have come to investigate.
What Lan Fengyuan is worried about now is that Mengka was captured by people from the Eastern Continent. By then, it would be one thing for the Earth Demon King to lose his bloodline, but Mengka's death would be a big deal.
Lan Fengyuan ordered the next steps and set off for the "Village of the Earth".
The "Earth Village" is located in the middle of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent, which is the very center of Wuji. It is still far away from the headquarters of the Ghost Face Sect.
Even at Lan Fengyuan's speed, it would take a whole day.
At sunrise the next day, Lan Fengyuan had arrived at the island where the "Earth Village" was located.
This island can be considered a relatively large island in the Infinite Ocean. From a distance, the island's territory is endless, almost monopolizing the entire sea line, and it looks like a continent.
After landing on the island, what appeared in front of Lan Fengyuan was a series of mountains with various shapes. Two peaks were the most conspicuous, with the same height and even the same size.
One is called "Western Mountain".
One is called "Eastern Mountain".
As the name suggests, it separates the Western Continent from the Eastern Continent.
The "Village of the Earth" that Lan Fengyuan has been looking for is located in the middle of these two mountains. As for what is in it, Lan Fengyuan has not yet learned, so he sent Mengka to investigate some information around here.
.
Lan Fengyuan walked towards the depths of the mountain. There were few human traces here, but some smoke could be seen vaguely, so it was obvious that there were people there.
Not long after, Lan Fengyuan saw an old man chopping firewood in a thatched hut deep in the mountains.
With Lan Fengyuan's level of consciousness, it is not difficult to find that this old man is ordinary and ordinary.
Lan Fengyuan stepped forward and came to the old man.
"Old man, are you the only one here?" Lan Fengyuan did not directly state his purpose. After all, if you are unfamiliar with the place, you still need to proceed with caution.
