"Sir, the Yu family's hundreds of direct and collateral members are almost dead."
Cheng Xiao lowered his voice slightly and said softly: "I found out from the village elder just now that it was done by people from Yaowang Valley."
"You started so quickly?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.
He originally thought that the Yu family should survive for a while no matter what happened, and then leave Victoria, maybe they could make a comeback.
Who would have thought that the family would be wiped out so quickly.
"The Yu family and Yaowang Valley had a close relationship. After Yu Xiao's death, they temporarily settled in Yaowang Valley. As a result, the people from Yaowang Valley poisoned their food and took action with several elders to kill Yu.
The whole family was killed."
Having said this, he subconsciously looked back.
"Now Yu Qiuyao is the only child of the Yu family... Sir, I didn't mean to pry. That's probably what happened. I'll take the first step."
With that said, Cheng Xiao wanted to leave.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Ji asked casually without any intention of leaving him alone.
Cheng Xiao paused and sighed softly: "I still have some friendship with Yu Qiuyao, but it would be hard to see her die... Sir, can I ask you a favor?"
"you say."
"The Yu family has been destroyed now, and Yu Qiuyao is already a casual cultivator... If she requests to join Tianjiansi, I hope you can protect her."
"It's not like you would say this if you have some friendship." Lin Ji nodded and said, "I promise you this. It's not a bad thing to invite one more day tripper to the government office."
Without the trouble of the Yu family, it is not a big deal to save Yu Qiuyao.
"Thank you, sir." Cheng Xiao bowed and left.
...
In the next few days, news of the Yu family's destruction spread throughout Victoria.
The explanation given by Yaowang Valley was that they were kind-hearted in protecting the Yu family, but the Yu family coveted the territory of Yaowang Valley, so they had no choice but to do so.
But everyone knows that Yaowanggu is interested in the Yu family’s accumulation over the years.
The Yu family, who runs the market, encounters countless treasures, and the collections of the Yu family are naturally extremely enviable.
Apparently, Yaowanggu couldn't help but destroy it out of greed, and then just found any excuse to excuse it.
The monks in Victoria only talked about this matter casually and were not surprised.
Yaowang Valley is a force that can do business with the Tantric Sect, and no one has any hope for its bottom line.
It is not impossible to say that Yaowang Valley is an evil sect.
As if evil people should do evil things, a few days passed, and no one came out to speak a word of justice for the Yu family.
No one would anger a big power over a dead person.
...
In the third year of Shengyuan, it was July 10th.
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
Victoria, which had become lively because of the Lancheng ruins, finally settled down.
The red-haired god is missing, and various forces have turned Lan City upside down.
Except for the power of earth fire and the power of Yin evil, there is nothing worth worrying about in the Lancheng ruins. As for the legendary Xilan national treasure house, there is not even a shadow.
All the forces were greatly disappointed, and the matter went nowhere.
In the end, no one force occupied the Lancheng ruins. They just said that if there are monks who want to take advantage of the location to practice, just go there.
The matter was agitated, but in the end it was such an anticlimactic result.
Yucheng, second floor of the restaurant.
"So, this group of people just had enough to eat. I heard that people from each family died while exploring the Lancheng underground palace?" Lin Ji said with a curl of his lips while holding the wine glass.
"A few people died, but they were all insignificant people. Everyone restrained themselves and did not make the matter a big deal," Geng Mu said.
On the other side of the wine table were Gao Ling and Chu Jin.
Both of them just came out of seclusion yesterday. Gao Ling broke through to the night tour, and now he has resigned from the post of Chief Inspector of Victoria and has become a fifth-level tour star officer.
Chu Jinze finally broke through the sixth realm and became a genuine day-traveling monk.
But according to what he said, this breakthrough has exhausted his energy, and he may have to stay in the early stages of Japanese travel for the rest of his life.
Lin Ji had nothing to say about this.
Fully 70% to 80% of the monks in the world cannot even break through to the third realm, and spend their entire lives wasting their lives in the Qi-nurturing realm.
In the Riyoujing realm, he is already considered a senior expert by ordinary monks.
"It's rare for two people to break through at the same time today. This is a double blessing... I will rely on you all to cooperate with me in future affairs of the government office. Here, Lin would like to toast you all."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin." The other three people present responded quickly.
This banquet was originally to celebrate the breakthrough between Chu Jin and Gao Ling. Everyone had been with Lin Ji for a while and knew that Lin Ji had no airs, so the banquet was quite lively.
This banquet should have been a happy one.
But during the dinner, the waiter suddenly came up with a plate.
What's on the plate is a pork knuckle.
"Braised elbow?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at the waiter.
"This is a dish given to you by a guest officer."
"Who gave it to you?" Lin Ji frowned, a little confused.
"The guest officer is on the first floor, and he also brought this dish... The guest officer said, please eat first, and then go see him after eating." The waiter said.
The words became more and more confusing, and Lin Ji didn't embarrass the waiter and sent him away.
Geng Mu stood up and said: "You are pretending to be a ghost... Sir, I will go downstairs and bring him up."
"No rush." Lin Ji shook his head slightly.
At this time, he was a little curious, who gave him an elbow for no reason, or who brought it himself.
Speaking of which, before going to bed last night, he was still thinking that when he was in Qingyang County, his favorite thing was the elbow in the restaurant.
Thinking of this, he picked up the kuaizi, including the meat and leather, and put it into his mouth.
"Sir, be careful of the poison." Geng Mu said quickly.
"Who would be stupid enough to poison it like this?" Lin Ji didn't care, and put the meat into his mouth to chew, "Well, it's still warm... It's the flavor of Liangzhou, and it's sweeter."
"It smells a bit like a restaurant in Qingyang County...wait a minute!"
Lin Ji's expression suddenly froze.
He was talking about Liangzhou's elbow last night, and he was eating it hot at this moment.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji felt a little fear in his heart for no reason, and he felt that the meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.
He quickly put down his kuaizi, stood up, opened the door of the box, and looked towards the first floor of the restaurant.
Then, he saw a little Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth on the table in the corner of the first floor.
"Donor Lin, long time no see." The little Taoist priest said hello with a smile.
Lin Ji immediately darkened his face.
"I told you that when I went to bed last night, there were crows crows outside. It was indeed a disaster."
"Donor Lin's lucky star is shining brightly, and it is the time when good fortune is at hand. How could a disaster be imminent?"
"When I see you, I feel unlucky. You are a disaster. If you come to me, a disaster is imminent."
After saying that, Lin Ji couldn't help but cursed twice in his heart.
