At this moment, in the Yang Residence, Yang Su Rou's parents, Qin Xinyin and the Zhou siblings were all sitting together at a large round table. Everyone looked happy and happy.
Yang Mingxiong had always been Yang Su Rou's only daughter, so the Yang Residence was always a little cold and cheerless. Now that the Zhou siblings had joined in, especially the clever Zhou Yue, they had suddenly become the favorite little fellow in the Yang Residence.
"Recently, the city has not been peaceful, you all have to be careful." Yang Mingxiong looked at everyone sitting together and chatting with each other, his eyes were filled with gratification. If these were all his children, his life would be enough.
It was also because of the importance of these children that he decided to say this. His Yang Family was considered a reputable figure in the city. If they were targeted by the Ghost Manor, he hoped that these people would be able to live well.
"Father, you worry too much. With me and Senior Sister here, whoever dares to find trouble with us, we will send them to hell!" Yang Su Rou raised her right hand and held her chopsticks as she shouted loudly. Her lively appearance was a huge contrast to her usual ladylike appearance.
"Girls are always fighting and killing all day long." Yang Zhang looked at her daughter's appearance and felt both angry and amused. She thought that such a big child could not be a role model for Zhou Yue and Zhou Ning.
"It's okay, it's good for a girl to know some martial arts." Yang Mingxiong heard Yang Su Rou's words and heaved a sigh of relief. Both of their martial arts were not bad, and with him, he felt that Miss Qin's martial arts were unfathomable. It was a little safer.
"Uncle Yang, did anything happen in the city recently?" Zhou Yue asked. He had been in the Cloud Sea City for so long, he was able to see through Yang Mingxiong's worries at a young age. The main reason was that he felt that the Yang Family was good. Everyone treated him well and he wanted to share some of the burden.
"You all have been in the residence recently. Don't you know that there is an assassin organization called the Ghost Manor? A few days ago, they killed a hall master of the Cloud Sea Gang, Liu Ming's whole family." Yang Mingxiong heard Zhou Yue mention it and also told him about the recent events. Zhou Yue was the son of the previous Cloud Sea Gang leader, he also knew about it.
"I know this Liu Ming. He does whatever he wants just because his brother-in-law is Tian Lei." Zhou Yue thought for a while, as if he was looking for this person in his memory. Finally, he remembered.
"Liu Ming's whole family was slaughtered, especially Liu Ming's corpse, which was hung outside the door. His body was stripped naked and engraved with words." Yang Mingxiong knew that he couldn't say too much at the dinner table, so he simply told everyone.
"Then according to Patriarch Yang's words, to slaughter an entire clan in such a brazen manner, I'm afraid that someone in this Ghost Manor is doing this on purpose." Qin Xinyin finally opened her mouth. Her eyes were even colder than before, but there was a hint of freedom in them. There seemed to be some other changes in her body, but no one could tell what it was.
"That's right. From what I've heard, there are dozens of people in the Ghost Manor, all of them wearing black robes and ghost faces. Their identities were unknown. They appeared out of thin air like ghosts. When Liu Ming was killed, many people thought that it was an internal struggle within the Cloud Sea Gang. "
"But strangely enough, there was a very famous teacher in the city who was killed last night, leaving behind the name of the Ghost Manor."
"But the people from last night said that there was no black mass of demons, only one person, wearing a mask and bloody clothes, playing a mournful tune."
"And it's also a coincidence. Both times, after killing people, someone would play a tune. Those who heard it said that the tune was mournful and tragic, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts. They had never seen this person before, so they gave him the name 'Soul Transferring Ghost'."
Yang Mingxiong's words still left a shadow in these people's hearts. After killing people at night, he would still play a tune. And with this name, could it be that he used a tune to transfer the souls of these dead people?
But Qin Xinyin was not afraid. She always felt that this person was him. "Then Patriarch Yang, has anyone seen this person's figure, or what kind of tune he played?" Her voice was trembling, but no one cared. They thought that she was a little scared. After all, it was not a big deal for a girl to be a little timid. Even if her martial arts were high, it was reasonable for her to be afraid of this kind of chaotic ghost.
"This, no one dared to see. They only knew that the man was wearing bloody clothes, carrying a knife, and the tune he played seemed to be a flute!" Yang Mingxiong told the news that he heard.
Every piece of information exploded in Qin Xinyin's heart. She knew that it was him. He did not leave, he had always been in Cloud Sea City. Qin Xinyin was happy, but also a little disappointed. Why did he not come to find her? The clothes that disappeared at the ferry were also taken away by him.
Qin Xinyin's heart was bitter, but her face remained calm. After the meal, everyone sat together and chatted. "Master, Madam, Young Miss, Young Master Wang sent an invitation card to Young Miss." A servant came in with a red invitation card.
"Su Rou, take a look!" Yang Mingxiong hinted to Yang Su Rou. Although the marriage between the two families was just a formality, they could not reject the Wang family's face. Moreover, Wang Huaili and Yang Su Rou were childhood sweethearts.
"He said that it's going to be New Year soon and invited me and Senior Sister to go boating in the sea of clouds." Yang Su Rou opened the invitation and glanced at it. She then put the invitation aside and looked at her father and said.
"Why don't you go! You and Miss Qin have been staying in the mansion for the past few days. You must be bored. Why don't you go out to play and relax? "Yang Mingxiong said.
"Moreover, he also invited Brother Zhang in the invitation. You don't have to worry about him playing any tricks." Yang Su Rou snorted. When Yang Mingxiong heard this, he also smiled bitterly. He never thought that Wang Huaili's position and impression in his daughter's heart would be so bad.
"Senior Sister, what about you? Come with me!" Yang Su Rou shook Qin Xinyin's arm and said coquettishly. Qin Xinyin was a little sad because of Nie Li. She wanted to refuse, but seeing her Junior Sister being so enthusiastic, she nodded her head and agreed. She thought in her heart that perhaps she could temporarily forget about him.
Yang Su Rou let the servant pass a message to the Wang Mansion. She then brought Qin Xinyin and the Zhou siblings back to the West Court.
"Brother Nie, there's a task for you tonight." Fang Tong knocked on the door and walked in. She looked at Nie Li who was sitting on the bed and circulating his Qi.
"Brother Fang, just say it! Brother Bai is injured, so it's only right for me to do so. " Nie Li stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. The instant darkness made Fang Tong's vision blur. She couldn't help but guess what Nie Li's cultivation technique was.
"I hope you can make a trip to the Red Jade District." Fang Tong looked deeply at Nie Li.
"Red Jade District?" Nie Li asked doubtfully. According to what he knew, the Red Jade District was just a brothel. What was there for Fang Tong to remember?
"I won't hide it from you. The last time I brought you to the Red Jade District, I believe you can see something. Although the Red Jade District is a brothel, to be able to operate like this in Cloud Sea City, there must be someone behind it. I hope you can investigate it this time. "Fang Tong said. She had been paying attention to the Red Jade District for a long time.
Wealth and lust are tempting. Gambling and lust are both places to squander money. Moreover, according to her subordinate's visit, the Red Jade District had some connection with Tian Lei. But she didn't think so, so she needed Nie Li to investigate.
"Okay." Nie Li nodded. Fang Tong smiled and left. Nie Li saw that it was still early, so he continued to meditate. The Viscera Training stage needs to be taken one step at a time. The soft five viscera can't bear the huge amount of internal energy.
The servant outside called that dinner was ready. Nie Li slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. Tidying his clothes, he removed the blade from his waist, placed it on the table, and put on a white fox fur coat. He opened the door and walked out.
"Third Master, where are you going? I'll go prepare the carriage." A servant saw that Nie Li was about to leave and immediately asked. Nie Li had a good relationship with Fang Tong and Bai Lu. He called Bai Lu Second Master, so everyone simply called Nie Li Third Master.
"To the Red Jade District." After Nie Li finished speaking, the servant revealed a smile and hurriedly went to prepare the carriage. Nie Li was too lazy to explain and walked towards the gate. A moment later, the sound of a carriage came from the side gate.
"Shhh." The coachman stopped the carriage, took out a wooden stool and invited Nie Li into the carriage. Sitting in the warm carriage, Nie Li closed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Third Master, we've arrived." The coachman's voice sounded from outside. Nie Li got out of the carriage and stepped on the wooden stool. He then signaled the coachman to go back. The coachman did not hesitate. Coming to this kind of place, not returning home at night was a normal thing.
Seeing Nie Li, the people at the entrance of the Red Jade District were a little infatuated. The fox fur coat was casually draped over his shoulders. Coupled with the bright red clothes, it made him look more elegant and peaceful. He did not have his usual arrogance and coldness. Instead, he made people feel closer to him.
"Guest, please come in." Nie Li walked into the Red Jade District. Looking at the people coming and going, and the men and women rubbing their hair and whispering obscenities, a familiar figure entered Nie Li's eyes.
"Isn't this little brother Nie? You're finally willing to come. My family's Chun Mei didn't want to eat or drink for you. " Sister Wang enthusiastically pulled Nie Li's hand and directly walked into the private room. She even shouted for Chun Mei to come over.
In Nie Li's life, this was the first time he was so close to a woman. Feeling the softness and tenderness in his hand, his cheeks couldn't help but blush. He quickly lowered his head.
Because he lowered his head, he didn't notice that Sister Wang secretly turned around and glanced at him.
Arriving at a private room, Sister Wang pushed open the door and settled Nie Li down. When she left, she didn't forget to tease Nie Li. Nie Li's heart that had just calmed down, once again surged. His ears were red and hot.
After a cup of tea's time, many dishes were placed on the table. At the same time, Chun Mei also walked in. There wasn't much difference from the last time they met, only that she had changed her clothes.
"You're here!" "You're here." The first line of conversation between the two was very simple. However, it was as relaxed and warm as friends who had known each other for a long time.
Chun Mei sat beside Nie Li. The distance between them wasn't close, but it wasn't distant either. She sat quietly and poured wine for Nie Li. The two of them didn't speak, but there wasn't a trace of awkwardness.
As time passed, the two of them spent more time looking at each other. Looking at each other's calm eyes, they couldn't help but feel at ease.
