The heated discussion in the meeting room lasted for more than an hour, but no conclusion was reached in the end. They only speculated that the disappearance of the Cultivators must have been done by a certain family or sect in the internal martial arts world. The reason was exactly the same as Xia Zhili's speculation.
As for the rescue plan, they discussed it for a long time but failed to come to a decision. After all, everybody was well aware of the dangers of the internal martial arts world. Therefore, nobody was willing to go. The meeting fell into an impasse again. Therefore, they could only end the meeting in a hurry and wait for the follow-up meeting to resolve the issue.
After the meeting was over, Song Huawu and Hong Zhu went to the tavern next door and found Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao.
Looking at the leftovers on the table, the two of them were not too bothered. After all, they were not there to eat. They simply sat down and ordered something to fill their stomachs.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Song Huawu opened her mouth and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Xiao Xiao wiped her mouth with a napkin. Looking at the mess on the table, she said in embarrassment, "It's alright. We've just finished eating, too!" The two of them were truly starving. That was why they had eaten so much food in a row.
Jin Beibei glanced at Hong Zhu and asked in a somewhat vigilant manner, "This … Miss, may I ask how you know me? If I remember correctly, this is the first time we've met each other, isn't it? Right, what's the relationship between you and my cousin-in-law? It seems that you are very familiar with him! "
"Well … Who is your cousin-in-law?" Hong Zhu lowered his head and had some porridge. He felt refreshed and refreshed. When Jin Beibei's' cousin-in-law 'suddenly popped into his ears, he did not realize what was going on. He was dazed for a moment and asked back subconsciously.
"Hehe. Don't take it to heart, sister. Beibei likes to fool around." Xiao Xiao smiled casually and hurried to explain. "The cousin-in-law she mentioned is my brother. We are looking for Xiao Chen. I wonder, how did you two beautiful sisters know Xiao Chen? Oh, I almost forgot. I haven't asked for the names of the two sisters. "
"Oh, my name is Hong Zhu." Hong Zhu shrugged and finished the porridge in the bowl. Then, he looked at Jin Beibei and said apologetically, "A few days ago, a subordinate of mine in the mortal world reported to me that a girl named Jin Beibei had come to Little Hong's Pharmacy and wanted to talk to me about something important. However, I was rather busy at that time, and the name Jin Beibei did not ring a bell. Therefore, I put it aside and did not have the time to pay attention to it. I only remembered it after I heard it today."
"Oh, so you're Hong Zhu! I was wondering how you knew me! "Jin Beibei pursed her lips and grumbled a little unhappily," But you are too proud! I went to the pharmacy to leave you a message, but you didn't even reply to me. If Xiao Xiao and I didn't take the initiative to find you, we probably wouldn't have met! "
Hong Zhu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that too many things have happened over the past few days. As you all saw just now, we've been in a meeting for so long that we really haven't been able to take care of everything."
"Forget it! Beibei is very magnanimous. " Jin Beibei waved her hands casually. Although Hong Zhu's explanation was not satisfactory, Jin Beibei did not want to argue with him anymore. After all, finding Xiao Chen was the most important thing right now.
Seeing that the introduction had come to an end, Xiao Xiao looked at Song Huawu, who had just finished the porridge, and asked, "How should I address you, sister?"
"I'm Song Huawu from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. I used to be a partner with Xiao Chen. I wonder, has he ever mentioned me as his girlfriend to you?" Although Song Huawu's tone was rather plain, there was a hint of pride in it. Her eyes had never left Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao's faces. She was staring at them closely.
Although Song Huawu had never heard Xiao Chen mention other women before, her woman's intuition told her that the two girls in front of her must have a complicated relationship with Xiao Chen.
Jin Beibei, in particular, was very happy every time Xiao Chen's name was mentioned. She was smiling so brightly that her face was almost blooming. She looked rather suspicious!
As for Xiao Xiao, Song Huawu felt that since she was Xiao Chen's younger sister, she should not have any ambiguous relationship with Xiao Chen. After all, they were family and related by blood. How could she do such an unethical thing?
In fact, Song Huawu was not being petty. She just felt that the women around Xiao Chen were all beauties and of high quality.
Although she did not think that Xiao Chen would dislike the old or favor one woman over the other, she was still worried that her position in Xiao Chen's heart might be significantly lowered.
"Ow! Ow! My cousin-in-law is so awesome! You can even win over such a beautiful sister! If Cousin Mengying learns about it, she will probably be driven mad! Hehe! " Jin Beibei could not have been more excited. She was laughing so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. She could not help but secretly compare Cheng Mengying and Song Huawu.
However, no matter how she compared them, Jin Beibei still could not tell who was better. She felt that the two of them seemed to have their own specialties and were on par with each other. However, Song Huawu seemed to be more mature and charming!
"Sister Beibei, we are talking about serious business right now. Can you not talk about such heartless things?" Xiao Xiao looked at Jin Beibei helplessly. She was somewhat upset. She had obviously been triggered by the word 'girlfriend' that Song Huawu had mentioned.
However, Xiao Xiao's emotional fluctuation did not escape Song Huawu and Hong Zhu's eyes. After looking at each other, they both understood what was on each other's mind. Therefore, they did not intend to pursue the topic further. After all, they were not in the right place, and it was not the right time to talk about such things.
However, what secretly surprised Song Huawu was that Xiao Xiao was Xiao Chen's younger sister, wasn't she? Was she in love with him, too? Wasn't … Wasn't it a bit inappropriate? Was there more to it than meets the eye?
"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't talk about it …" Jin Beibei scratched her nose in boredom. She glanced at Xiao Xiao, feeling somewhat suspicious, too.
"Sister Hong Zhu, Sister Hua Wu, may I ask if you've seen my brother recently?" Xiao Xiao shook her head as she cast aside those unpleasant thoughts and asked with an anxious expression.
Song Huawu shook her head and answered helplessly, "I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Hong Zhu even longer. So, we are both looking for him, too!"
Xiao Xiao's face immediately fell. She said gloomily, "My grandpa and my father are dying of anxiety. They have been looking for my brother for almost a year. Other than the news that he was hunted by the Kui Mountain Sect and that Ma Buqiu, the leader of the Kui Mountain Sect, fell to his death in Lan City, there is no other news about Xiao Chen."
"That's the same information on our side. It seems that the news about Xiao Chen in the secular world stopped abruptly after that part." Song Huawu slightly frowned. Everybody's information seemed to be more or less the same!
