Of course there is a difference, it is just a direct and indirect relationship. But whether it is directly or indirectly, Ye Qian cannot expose his investigation of the case in Xingcheng. It is precisely because of this that Mu Ziqing once again felt that he was being betrayed by Ye
Qian was deceived.
"Ye Qian, it seems that I still underestimated this dandy disciple like you." Mu Ziqing said with a somewhat annoyed expression.
Ye Qian could only smile awkwardly and said: "Sister, there is no need to be angry. I admit that I have bumped into my sister before, but I am here today to sincerely apologize. I promise that I will never bump into my sister in the future."
Muzi smiled in a clear voice, stared at Ye Qian and said word by word: "Really? Since you sincerely apologize, what about your sincerity?"
"I have always been sincere since I entered the courtyard. It's just that my sister is so angry that she can't feel my sincerity at all." Ye Qian defended himself.
"Okay!" Mu Ziqing nodded and said crisply: "Ye Qian, if you really apologize sincerely, I won't give you a chance. In this way, as long as you give up Zijiao, I will not only forgive you for your previous conflict with me, but also give you a chance."
I still have to thank you."
"Sister, what you are saying is a bit overwhelming. Since ancient times, how can love between men and women be broken off at the drop of a hat? Sister, I would like to change my request. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse!" Ye Qian said sincerely.
"That's enough!" Mu Ziqing no longer wanted to argue with Ye Qian, and said with a face of resignation: "I can't defeat you, don't you just want me to help you investigate the murder case of Lu Haifeng? Okay, I'll do this for you.
I can promise you. But after the matter is completed, you must leave Xingcheng and are not allowed to have any contact with Zijiao. Otherwise, you will never be able to complete your mission."
"Okay, I will listen to my sister in everything." Ye Qian agreed wholeheartedly. This was the result he wanted.
"Villain!" Mu Ziqing cursed angrily. Apparently she knew that Ye Qian was just using Mu Zijiao's incident to coerce her into compromising and unconditionally help Ye Qian investigate the case.
Ye Qian turned a deaf ear to Mu Ziqing's abuse, but smiled and said: "Sister, since we have an agreement, I wonder how sister plans to investigate Lu Haifeng for me?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will arrange it myself." Mu Ziqing said angrily.
"Sister, I'm sure you can rest assured. However, I do have a very valuable clue here, which I got from the tavern at a huge cost. It must be very helpful to my sister in investigating the case." Ye Qian turned around and said.
.
"Oh!" Mu Ziqing's expression changed, and he looked at Ye Qian for the first time, and said: "The information in the tavern is basically correct. Since you hold such important clues, why do you have to ask us for help?
"
"Sister, you are belittling yourself. How can I, an outsider, compare with my sister? In Xingcheng, I am far inferior to my sister in terms of my ability to investigate things. Just as my sister can find someone in just one hour.
Wherever I stay, my ability is evident." Ye Qian praised with a smile.
Hearing this, Mu Ziqing's expression softened, and was no longer as cold as when he met Ye Qian before. He said, "Okay, stop flattering me and tell me the information!"
Ye Qian put away his smile and said, "The tavern told me that as long as I can find Feng Jiu, I can find the key to solving the case."
"Feng Jiu!" Mu Ziqing's expression changed.
"It seems that I have found the right person. My sister really knows this person named Feng Jiu." Ye Qian saw Mu Ziqing's shocked expression and felt happy. It was obvious that Mu Ziqing knew this person named Feng Jiu.
"So what if I know him? Do you think Feng Jiu is an ordinary person?" Mu Ziqing glared at Ye Qian angrily, as if to say that Ye Qian was ignorant.
Ye Qian smiled and said: "Of course I know that Feng Jiu is not an ordinary person, otherwise the tavern would not be so sure. As long as we find him, we can find the key to solving the case. If this person is so easy to find, Luo Houyi will definitely not
I couldn’t find it for such a long time.”
"It seems that you are very smart and have a thorough understanding of things. Let me tell you who Feng Jiu is!" Mu Ziqing said and actually found a stool and sat down.
"Sister, please tell me." Ye Qian also sat down.
"Feng Jiu was well-known in Xingcheng twenty years ago. He is the pinnacle of Xingcheng. This person always has his own way of doing things. Even if the big forces of the Demon City come, he will not bow his head." Mu Ziqing murmured.
Whispering.
"He was already the peak expert in Xingcheng twenty years ago? So, Feng Jiu is at least at the peak of the fourth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, and may even have entered the fifth level of the Peeping Dao Realm now?" Ye Qian's face turned slightly.
In a change, if Feng Jiu only reaches the fourth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, Ye Qian still has a lot of confidence to deal with it. If Feng Jiu reaches the fifth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, Ye Qian has no confidence at all, so this case will be a bit suspenseful.
Already.
"No, this person has always gone his own way, and naturally offended many people. Among them were the powerful families from the Demon City. Feng Jiu was attacked and killed ten years ago. Although he escaped in the end, his cultivation foundation was also damaged.
, so it’s still not possible to enter the fifth level of the Dao Peeping Realm.” Mu Ziqing explained quickly.
"Huh!" Hearing Mu Ziqing's words, Ye Qian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party was not a cultivator at the fifth level of the Dao Peeping Realm, he would have a certain degree of confidence that he could get the other party to speak.
But for Ye Qian's relieved expression, Mu Ziqing rolled her eyes with disdain. She said coldly: "You think that because Feng Jiu can't break through the realm, it must be easy to deal with? Luo Houyi can't deal with it, right?
Do you think you can deal with him?"
"Why, it turns out that in the eyes of my sister, I am not as good as Luo Houyi?" Ye Qian was surprised, with a disappointed expression on his face, as if he was very distressed by this.
"Am I wrong? Let's not mention that Luo Houyi is the city lord of Xingcheng, nominally the highest leader of Xingcheng. Even if you put aside these identities, you are still an immortal cultivator who has glimpsed the peak of the fourth level of Taoism. No matter how you look at it, it is better than
You, a cultivator in the third middle stage of the Dao Peeping Realm, must be much stronger!" Mu Ziqing said disdainfully.
Ye Qian is naturally very dissatisfied with Mu Ziqing's evaluation. You must know that several cultivators at the fourth level of the Dao Realm have died under his hands. Therefore, although Ye Qian's cultivation is low, he can
The vision is very high.
"Looking at you, you seem to be very dissatisfied with my evaluation! Yes, your ability to escape is amazing. It is difficult for a cultivator below the fifth level of the Peeping Dao Realm to hurt you. Do you think that just by virtue of your ability to escape?
With your abilities, can you compare with Luo Houyi? I don’t know if you are crazy or if I am short-sighted. Can’t you even explain such a superficial truth in detail?” Mu Ziqing said angrily.
When Ye Qian saw this, he did not continue to explain. He knew better than anyone how much he was capable of.
Seeing that Ye Qian didn't say anything anymore, Mu Ziqing put away his contemptuous expression and felt that Ye Qian was speechless by what she said.
"Okay, let's continue talking about Feng Jiu." Muzi paused for a moment before continuing: "Feng Jiu can be considered my uncle. He was once my adoptive father's senior brother."
"What?" Ye Qian looked at Mu Ziqing in surprise and said excitedly: "You actually still have such a deep relationship, so if you, sister, take action in this matter, isn't it just a trivial matter? Feng Jiu can do this.
Uncle, is it possible that he would embarrass you over such a trivial matter? Unless he, Feng Jiu, is the murderer of Luo Haifeng..."
However, when Ye Qian said this, Mu Ziqing frowned and his face turned gloomy, which made Ye Qian have no choice but to shut up consciously.
"I asked you, can you please stop interrupting others? Fortunately, you are still a disciple of a big family from the Demon City. Don't you understand that doing so is very impolite?" Mu Ziqing stared at Ye with a somewhat angry look.
Modesty.
Ye Qian smiled coquettishly, knowing that he was wrong, and said with a smile: "Sister, didn't you also say that I am the illegitimate son of a strong man? An illegitimate child has been living outside since he was a child. Of course, he doesn't know so many etiquettes, and some only know how to let others know.
Live a better life for yourself."
When Mu Ziqing heard what Ye Qian said, his originally angry expression actually became a bit embarrassed, and even the look in his eyes at Ye Qian became much calmer. For some reason, Ye Qian's last sentence said, "Some
Just how to live a better life seemed to have plucked a certain string deep in her memory, which actually gave her an inexplicable sense of identification with Ye Qian.
Ye Qian looked at the somewhat absent-minded Mu Ziqing, and was slightly startled. With his ability to observe people's emotions, he naturally understood that what he just said must have resonated with Mu Ziqing, so Mu Ziqing was embarrassed and lost his mind.
"Sister, are you okay?" Ye Qian said softly.
After hearing these words, Mu Ziqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's continue talking about Feng Jiu."
When Ye Qian saw this, he was even more surprised. Mu Ziqing actually smiled at him, and it was so natural, not forcing a smile at all. At this moment, Ye Qian was almost sure that the woman in front of him must also be a woman with a story.
And most of this story is quite difficult.
"What you don't know is that although Feng Jiu is my uncle, when my father passed away, Feng Jiu should have taken over the position of helmsman, but for some reason, the position of helmsman fell to him.
On top of my head, Feng Jiu continues to serve as the deputy helmsman of the sub-rudder." Mu Ziqing said helplessly.
When Ye Qian heard this, he immediately understood something, but he did not interrupt, but continued to listen to Mu Ziqing's account.
"Feng Jiu is an arrogant person who goes his own way. He originally thought that the position of helmsman would be easy to get, but he didn't expect that it would fall on a junior. Therefore, Feng Jiu was the first to object and refused to obey me.
Unless a strong man from above comes forward in person, I am afraid that the underground mercenary branch in Xingcheng will disappear by now." Mu Ziqing murmured.
"Since then, Feng Jiu and my sisters have severed all ties and quit the underground mercenaries. I don't know if he is resentful or unwilling, but he always makes trouble for us." Mu Ziqing
When he said this, his expression finally changed a bit and became a bit indifferent.
