Xiao Chen saw that the waiter wanted to say a few more words, so he quickly interrupted him and said in a bad mood, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm not talking about the surrounding towns. I just want to ask if there are any big powers in your county. Why are you talking about such nonsense?"
"You're talking about our Yaoxian County?" The waiter scratched his head and thought for a while before replying, "I really don't know what big powers there are in our county. However, there is a town called Floating Spirit Town not far from Yaoxian County. There is a sect called the Profound Cloud Sect in that town. It is known as the second largest sect in the cultivation world and is also one of the best. Other than that, there really isn't anything else."
After listening to the waiter's introduction, Xiao Chen slowly knocked on the counter. He felt very strange. The headquarters of the young master seemed to be quite big, and with that kind of scale, he reckoned that there were a lot of people inside. How could the people here not know about it?
"Sir, do you have any other questions? If not, I'll go back to work. "The waiter saw that Xiao Chen didn't speak for a long time, so he asked tentatively.
Xiao Chen thought again and asked, "Then … in your county, or in the surrounding towns, are there robbers or bandits? For example, when a wealthy businessman was about to go out to do business, did he get kidnapped on the way? "
"Sir, are you joking?" When the waiter heard this question, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He stared at Xiao Chen as if he was looking at an idiot.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen saw the waiter's expression and was a bit confused. Did he ask something wrong?
The waiter sighed helplessly and explained, "The headquarters of the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce is in the east of Yaoxian County, Falling Leaves Town. On the other side is the Floating Spirit Town where the Profound Cloud Sect is located. With two big powers in charge, who would dare to openly cause trouble here? Unless they're really tired of living! "
"Strange, this is really strange …" Xiao Chen muttered to himself in confusion, "The headquarters of these bandits is located next to the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce. This is equivalent to guarding a big treasure! For them to be able to refrain from causing trouble and instead run to a place hundreds of miles away to rob, this doesn't seem to make sense! "
"Sir, what did you say? What headquarters? "The waiter looked at Xiao Chen in confusion.
Xiao Chen waved his hand at him, then turned around and walked towards Hong Zhu's room while muttering in a low voice, "According to Elder Nangong, even if the bandit headquarters and the Profound Cloud Sect don't have any friendly relations, they shouldn't be enemies. Since they aren't being threatened by enemies from both sides, and the size of their headquarters seems to be quite large, they shouldn't be afraid of that Chamber of Commerce! Is there any other reason? "
The waiter shook his head as he watched Xiao Chen walk away, muttering to himself. He thought that this person was probably an idiot. He took out the Spirit Crystal and checked it again. When he found that it had not been swapped, he did not pursue the matter further. He turned around and went back to his own business.
After Xiao Chen entered the room, he briefly chatted with Hong Zhu and explained the situation to him. After that, he began to use his Divine Sense to observe Elder Nangong's movements. Sure enough, that guy was doing something different!
It turned out that Elder Nangong was not on his way to the Profound Cloud Sect. Instead, he had returned to the burnt bandit headquarters and was standing near the original main entrance.
Elder Nangong felt somewhat baffled when he saw the ashes and charcoal strewn all over the ground. The last time he was here, there were many people going in and out of this place and it had seemed very lively. But in the blink of an eye, it had become a pile of rubble. He had no idea where the Young Master and the others had hidden themselves.
After wandering around the ruins of the residence, Elder Nangong did not discover anything and could only dejectedly turn around and leave, once again walking in the direction of Floating Spirit Town.
"What the hell, you're messing with me!"
Xiao Chen had observed Elder Nangong's movements from the formation just now. He thought that the elder had come back to deliver a message, so he was about to summon his flying sword and rush over. The moment he stepped onto the flying sword, he realized that the old man had left angrily again. He could not help but curse.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Chen saw that Elder Nangong was really heading towards Floating Spirit Town and did not cause any more trouble. Feeling somewhat depressed, he could only helplessly withdraw his flying sword and stay in the room to chat with Hong Zhu, intending to wait for the bandits to take the initiative to contact Elder Nangong.
In a town not far from the north of Yao Xian County, two young girls with outstanding looks were strolling side by side on the street aimlessly.
One of the girls had handsome facial features and exuded a spiritual aura. Although she was wearing the clothes of a Daoist nun, she did not appear old-fashioned. Instead, she had a valiant and heroic air about her, looking like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
As for the other girl, although she was also quite beautiful, her face was extremely pale, without the slightest trace of blood. Her eyes also appeared somewhat hollow, and the weather was clearly clear, but she was holding a strangely shaped umbrella.
If someone were to pay attention, they would discover that her walking posture was also quite awkward and stiff. Fortunately, her long white dress concealed her strange posture, so it was not obvious.
"Gugugu — —"
As the two were strolling, a strange sound suddenly came from the stomach of the fairy-like girl. Immediately after, her pretty face blushed and she pretended to look around as if nothing had happened. Only when she discovered that no one seemed to be looking in their direction did she relax.
The umbrella-holding girl was slightly taken aback when she heard this sound. She took out a few apples and pears from her bosom and softly said in a cold but pleasant voice, "Big Sister Xian 'er, are you hungry? I still have some fruits that I gathered from the mountains, why don't you eat them first? I'm afraid that we won't be able to find a place to work and earn money so quickly. "
"Don't worry, I'll just eat an apple. You can keep the rest for yourself!" Xian 'er embarrassedly smiled and reached out for an apple. She casually wiped it on her Daoist robe and impatiently took a bite, chewing a few times with force.
The umbrella-holding girl did not insist. Seeing that Xian 'er only took an apple, she took the other fruits back.
Seeing this scene, Xian 'er turned her head in surprise and asked, "Xiao Yu, why aren't you eating? There's nothing else on that mountain, but there's a lot of fruits. It's probably enough for us to eat for a few years. You don't have to be so frugal, there's no need for that. "
"That … Big Sister Xian 'er, I'm a Yin Cultivator. To put it bluntly, I'm a living dead, so I don't need to eat to maintain my life." The umbrella-holding girl called Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and slowly walked forward with her head down. With a slightly bitter tone, she said, "Also, I've tried eating before, but no matter what I eat, I can't taste anything. I don't usually feel hungry either, so … I'll leave the fruits for you!"
