After hearing Hua Zongyuan's explanation, Fairy Aunt suddenly felt strange and asked quickly: "You sent people to guard the city gate?"
"Yes, I immediately sent people from Baixiao Tower to guard the city gate, but I didn't see her leaving the city!" Hua Zongyuan replied quickly.
"So, is it possible that she is still hiding in the city?" Fei Jin also thought of this and couldn't help but interject.
"Yes, I guess she is probably hiding! And in this Muling city, they even know that you Xiangu are coming..." Hua Zongyuan then expressed his guess.
Lu Xiaoyue discovered his identity, and naturally knew that Xianmen's pursuers would arrive soon, so she could not choose to escape foolishly. After all, no matter how fast she ran alone, she could not outrun the treasures of Xianmen, such as
spaceship.
As long as Lu Xiaoyue's position is determined and there is a spaceship, she can quickly catch up with her even though she is thousands of miles away.
It is impossible for Lu Xiaoyue not to know this, so the most likely thing is to find a place to hide, wait for the Xianmen's pursuers to leave, and then come out and escape slowly.
Hua Zongyuan had a beautiful idea, but unfortunately he didn't guess Lu Xiaoyue's character correctly.
After listening to Hua Zongyuan's guess, Fairy Girl nodded thoughtfully and said: "You are right, we should really search carefully in the city! But... it's very difficult! You take a few people and go outside the city.
Look for it and see if there are any traces like those on the cliff. If you find it, come back and report it immediately!"
"Yes!" He nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the Immortal Cultivators of the Mie Ling Sect began to work non-stop. They were divided into two teams, one team was dedicated to searching around the city, and the other team went outside the city to look for traces left by Lu Xiaoyue.
Regardless of which team they are in, any abnormality must be reported immediately.
Although Muling City is small, it is a city after all, with a population of tens of thousands, a large number of houses, and a very complex terrain.
The search in the city was far more difficult than in the wild or on the mountain. After a whole day, the search team in the city made no progress. It could be said that not even a shadow was found.
Of course, a group of immortal cultivators stayed directly in the inn of Baixiao Tower, and the fat shopkeeper was responsible for eating and drinking.
However, at this time, the inn had already been looted, nothing was left, and there was no way to provide food and drink for so many people.
Forced by the identity of the other party, the fat shopkeeper could only accept the offer with tears in his eyes.
In the evening, a large pot of minced meat porridge was served, which immediately made those cultivators frown.
"You just prepared this little thing for us?" Hua Zongyuan was the first to stand up and accuse.
As a cultivator, the food he usually eats is not bad at all. Even if he drinks porridge, it is served with the meat of various rare and exotic animals as side dishes. How can he be reduced to eating meat porridge...
"Uh..." The fat shopkeeper felt guilty for a while when he was asked. He could only shrink his head and replied cautiously: "There is no money at all in the inn. I got this meat from someone She..."
In fact, he did not say that the rice for cooking porridge also came from She Lai...
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding immortal cultivators glared angrily and waited for the fat shopkeeper with evil intentions.
We are noble immortal cultivators! Why should we be allowed to eat this kind of food from Shelai?
Do you think we are beggars?
Hua Zongyuan suddenly became furious and cursed angrily: "How dare you give us this kind of food? You simply don't take us seriously! Isn't Baixiaolou very powerful? Such a powerful Baixiaolou actually has no food.
None, could it be that you stole it for yourself?"
The fat shopkeeper is feeling miserable!
There is indeed such a thing as embezzlement, but it is not him!
He was also a victim of embezzlement. After all, it was his predecessor, the previous shopkeeper of Baixiao Tower in Muling City, who embezzled the banknotes.
That bitch, after knowing that he was going to be transferred out of here, actually took away all the money in the inn, leaving only a little money to maintain the daily operation of the inn.
Originally, even with this little money, Baixiaolou could barely keep operating, but they were looted not long ago, and now they have nothing!
As the saying goes: It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
Without money, no matter how powerful the fat shopkeeper is, he can't produce food and meat.
"Forget it, don't embarrass him!" Fairy Girl suddenly stood up and stopped the anger of other immortal cultivators.
After saying that, she walked straight to the pot of meat porridge, scooped out a bowl, and then went upstairs.
The master had already spoken and took the lead by example. Everyone did not dare to speak anymore and obediently finished the pot of porridge.
The next day, the immortal cultivators continued their search, vowing to find Lu Xiaoyue.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyue had already seen the next destination from a distance, which was Guting City, the nearest big city to Muling City.
This city is famous for its ancient pavilions. There are countless large and small pavilions in the city, and they all have a history of hundreds of years. The oldest pavilion is even older than the age of Hanling Kingdom.
With the name "Guting", there are naturally pavilions everywhere. More than ten miles away from the city, Lu Xiaoyue saw a series of long pavilions on the side of the road.
"Wooden stick, this is Changting! I've always heard about it before, but this is the first time I've seen it!" Lu Xiaoyue would be very excited when seeing something new and novel, and couldn't help but chirp out.
Jian Zhen also likes this very much. When he sees good things, he can’t help but share them with others.
He pointed at the pavilions and asked: "Xiaoyue, let me test you. Do you know what these pavilions are used for?"
"Hmm... It should be for people to take a break, right?" Lu Xiaoyue had heard of the Changting Pavilion, but was not sure about its specific function. However, she saw many people sitting in the Changting Pavilion, talking and laughing, and some seemed to be crying.
, so she can only give a vague conclusion.
"Well, it is for people to rest. In the past, it was specially given to people who were doing things for the country, such as messengers at the inn or passing officials. Now, it has become a place where everyone can rest. The most common place is
It is used for outings, rest and farewell." Jianzhen carefully observed the people in the pavilion for a while and found that there were exactly two groups, one of which was on an outing, talking and laughing, and the other group of people were
Farewell to friends, some shed tears on the spot.
"That's it... Then how about we go in and sit there too?" Lu Xiaoyue suddenly became interested and wanted to experience the artistic conception of Changting.
"Okay, then go and sit down." Jian Zhen agreed immediately.
This long pavilion is also an ancient pavilion. The wood and tile edges are very old and it looks like it has been there for some time.
However, it is quite strong and I don’t see any damage.
There were originally two groups of people in the pavilion, and they were all a little surprised when they saw Lu Xiaoyue coming in.
The group of people on the outing just looked at it and continued to play with themselves.
On the other hand, the farewell group seemed a little strange as to why such a young girl dared to come alone to a pavilion twenty miles outside the city.
"Little girl, why are you here alone?" One person couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"
