Shi Mu glanced around, then walked to the corpse of the first demon bird he killed and put away its soul as well.
He patted the beast soul bag with satisfaction. On the way to Cangxu City, he also spent a lot of time collecting beast souls. At this moment, there were a lot of beast souls in the beast soul bag.
His biggest purpose in collecting beast souls is to please Yan Luo. If she can show him how to use the mysterious power of the meteorite black sword, his strength will be qualitatively improved.
Although he himself can trigger this rather strange power from time to time, after all, there is a lot of luck involved. When encountering some key battles, sometimes victory or defeat may be just a matter of thoughts, and there is no room for such randomness.
.
It's just that in recent days, Yanluo still hasn't responded to his call at all, which makes him quite depressed.
Shi Mu sighed, turned over his hand and pulled out the black meteorite iron knife on his back. At the same time, he turned over his hand and took out a medium-grade fire attribute spirit stone, touching the black knife.
The spiritual stone flashed with light, and the spiritual power overflowed and merged into the black knife.
After devouring five middle-grade spiritual stones in a row, the weight of the meteorite black knife reached its limit and would no longer increase.
Shi Mu inserted the black knife into his back, waved his hand, a flash of blue light appeared, and the Green Wing Speedster appeared.
Shi Mu jumped onto the speeding car and waved his hand to create a spell.
The Green Wing Speedster flashed with blue light and flew towards the distance.
This pursuit has gone many miles deep into the mountains.
At this time, there were less than two days before Zhong Xiu promised to deliver the goods. Now that the star stone was in hand, he had to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise the delivery would be delayed, which would cause some trouble.
…
Cangxu City, Hanyuan Pavilion.
In an elegantly decorated living room, there were several people sitting divided among the guests of honor.
On the main seat, Wang Ruikun sat opposite a middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes. The man was none other than Linghu Kuan, the Lord of Cangxu City.
The two of them were chatting about something without saying a word.
At the starting point of the two people, sitting on the left and right were Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman.
From time to time, the enchanting woman's eyes swept over the three people present, with a slight smile on her lips. From time to time, she would add one or two equally innocuous words to Wang Ruikun and Linghu Kuan's chat.
Zhong Xiu sat without saying a word, looking calm.
At this moment, an attendant in green clothes walked in, holding four white jade tea cups with unique shapes in his hands. He served a cup to each of the four people and quickly withdrew.
The water vapor floated up from the cup, and it actually condensed but never dispersed, exuding a delicate fragrance.
"These are spiritual teas brought by the Chamber of Commerce from remote places. They taste pretty good. Lord City Lord, please have a taste." Wang Ruikun said with a smile.
Linghu Kuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His mouth was filled with fragrant fragrance. His pubic area felt slightly warm. His eyes suddenly lit up and he praised:
"What a wonderful tea. Could this tea be the world-famous 'White Velvet Dew'?"
"Haha, Lord City Lord is really well-informed. This tea is the freshest white velvet dew this year. If City Lord likes it, I have two boxes here, so you might as well take them back and taste them slowly." Wang Ruikun said, waving his hand and taking out two
The green tea box was handed over.
"I'm afraid even ten thousand spiritual stones can't buy a box of such spiritual tea. How can I accept such a heavy gift?" Linghu Kuan waved his hand and declined.
Wang Ruikun didn't insist and put the tea box on the table.
"Actually, I came here today for nothing important. I just want to ask about the situation of the goods shipped from Rikang City. Seeing that tomorrow's application time is the delivery date," Linghu Kuan said.
Turn around and say.
"Regarding this matter, Elder Zhong has made a special trip to visit us and assured the city lord. Now that the city lord has come to ask about this matter again, does he really believe those rumors and question the strength of our Tianwu Chamber of Commerce?" Wang Ruikun's expression remained unchanged.
The way.
"The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce has a great reputation. How dare I question it? It's just that there have been constant rumors in the city recently, and there is one thing in that batch of goods that is very important, and there cannot be any mistakes. I believe Vice President Wang can understand my difficulties, right?"
Linghu Kuan said calmly.
"Lord Linghu, don't worry. Just come and pick up the goods on time tomorrow." Wang Ruikun turned to look at Zhong Xiu and said.
"Since Vice-President Wang said so, I will wait for one more day and come to visit you again tomorrow. I will leave today." Linghu Kuan said, stood up, saluted Wang Ruikun with his fists clasped, and then looked at
He glanced at Zhong Xiu and walked towards the door of the living room.
"By the way, I have said something ugly earlier. If your Chamber of Commerce is still unable to deliver the goods tomorrow, don't blame me for being ruthless and reporting the matter to the top of the alliance." Linghu Kuan walked halfway, and suddenly
He stopped, turned around and said something.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the hall without waiting for Wang Ruikun and others to reply.
After Linghu Kuan left, Wang Ruikun's face immediately darkened.
The enchanting woman glanced at Zhong Xiu, but there was a look of gloating in her eyes.
"Elder Zhong, you also heard what Lord Linghu said just now. How did you investigate the whereabouts of that batch of goods? Can you give me an accurate report?" Wang Ruikun looked at Zhong Xiu and asked.
"Vice President, please rest assured that the application will be delivered on time tomorrow." Zhong Xiu's expression had been unusually calm since the beginning, and he still said in a calm tone.
"Elder Zhong, are you sure you are not joking? As far as I know, you have been just wandering around the city these days. I dare to ask Elder Zhong, what are the key clues that you say you have mastered? I don't know.
Look, you haven't tried hard to solve this problem at all!" said the enchanting woman.
"Okay, stop talking." Wang Ruikun raised his hand to stop the enchanting woman.
"Elder Zhong, since you did not accept the solution proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, you must be solely responsible for this matter. If you can deliver the goods on time tomorrow, then this matter will not happen, and the Chamber of Commerce will also remember you for your great contribution.
If I fail to recover the goods, I can only report the matter to the president in person and apply for your removal from the position of elder. Furthermore, the triple fine incurred during this escort mission will also be deducted from your future work remuneration."
Wang Ruikun said.
Zhong Xiu said nothing, just nodded.
Wang Ruikun glanced at Zhong Xiu, said nothing, turned and walked towards the inner room.
Soon, only Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman were left in the living room.
"Elder Zhong, do you still have time to sit here? Or are you mentally prepared to be demoted?" The enchanting woman stood up and looked at Zhong Xiu with a smile.
Zhong Xiu raised his head, glanced at the enchanting woman, and slowly stood up.
Although the enchanting woman is also as beautiful as a flower, she is obviously inferior to Zhong Xiu's stunning appearance.
In terms of temperament, how can this woman's enchantment be compared with Zhong Xiu's fairy-like charm? Instead, she seems a bit vulgar.
The enchanting woman looked at Zhong Xiu's face like a snow lotus, with a trace of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"I haven't seen Xiaowei since Yunyicheng, but I haven't found her body either," Zhong Xiu suddenly said.
"Xiaowei? Who is that?" The enchanting woman's expression froze slightly, and then she smiled.
Zhong Xiu glanced at the enchanting woman, turned around and walked out of the living room. From the beginning to the end, he looked calm and calm, without any anxiety.
The enchanting woman watched Zhong Xiu walk away, her face darkened, she walked out of the living room, and soon came to a courtyard.
"Miss." A delicate-looking maid walked out of the courtyard and saluted the enchanting woman. It was Xiaowei.
However, she looks much thinner now than when she was in Yunyi City. A faint red mark can be seen on her neck, which seems to be a scar that has just healed from a serious injury.
"Get up." The enchanting woman said lightly, walked into the main hall of the courtyard and sat down.
Xiaowei followed closely, and when the enchanting woman sat down, she immediately poured her a pot of tea.
"Thank you for your hard work this time." the enchanting woman said.
"These are all things a little maid should do." Xiao Wei lowered her head.
"You have made great achievements this time, and the reward is indispensable to you. But in Yunyi City, the person who tried to remind Zhong Xiu, please recall again, what are the characteristics of this person?" asked the enchanting woman.
Xiaowei was startled, then tried her best to recall the figure and appearance of Shi Mu she saw at that time, and described it.
The enchanting woman listened, and after a moment she waved her hand, telling Xiao Wei to retreat.
The enchanting woman pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned her hand over, and a white jade talisman appeared in her palm.
The light on the jade talisman flashed and condensed into a water mirror.
Two figures emerged from the water mirror, one was Zhong Xiu, and the other was a boy in coarse linen clothes with a scarf on his head, covering half of his face.
The enchanting woman's eyes rested on the young man in gray clothes, her eyes twinkling.
After a while, she put away the jade talisman and suddenly clapped her hands.
The figure in front of her flashed, and a figure in black appeared.
"Miss." The man in black bowed and saluted.
"I asked you to investigate the boy next to Zhong Xiu. How did your investigation go?" the enchanting woman asked.
"Miss Qizhen, my subordinates have been exploring the area near Elder Zhong Xiu's residence these days. Except for the first few days, I haven't seen the person you mentioned since then. It seems...it seems like he just disappeared."
The man hesitated for a moment and then began to speak.
"Trash!" the enchanting woman scolded coldly, and the man in black hurriedly lowered his head.
"Go down and continue to monitor near Zhongxiu. If you find this person, report to me immediately." After a moment, the enchanting woman said coldly.
The man in black slowly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.
The enchanting woman's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was pondering some conspiracy. After a moment, she stood up with a sneer on her face.
"I don't care if you have someone secretly helping you, I don't believe that in just one day, you can still find many of the lost goods!" The enchanting woman sneered and murmured to herself. (Unfinished)
