Li Xianer followed behind the young man in a daze. Originally, she only needed to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Chen and the others. Unexpectedly, when it rains, it pours. Now, even Nie Xiaoyu was captured!
At this point, she could only choose to live under someone else's roof for the time being and work hard for a while. After earning enough spirit crystals, she would think of a way to find Nie Xiaoyu!
At a place hundreds of miles west of Floating Spirit Town, the young master led a group of people and finally arrived at another branch with Cheng Mengying in custody.
After putting down the luggage, the young master had just finished packing his things and returned to his residence. Before he had time to take a sip of tea, Elder Shen came to find him.
"Young master, I was sorting out the information we received during the transfer and found a rather important situation, so I wanted to report it to you as soon as possible," Elder Shen said respectfully.
Elder Shen had been traveling day and night with the young master for a few days. He originally wanted to sit down and rest for a while and look through the regular information, but he was immediately shocked by a piece of important news. Before he could even sit down, he ran over again.
"What's the situation? Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that Xiao Chen has caught up with us again?" The young master rolled his eyes at him impatiently and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Uh … that's not it!" Elder Shen scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "A subordinate here reported that a while ago, the second master sent people to capture a little girl who is a ghost cultivator. She is still locked up in a cell and hasn't had time to be tested. So, I wanted to ask for your opinion and see if you can arrange for a test. If it's suitable … let her go to that place to have a try?"
"You're talking about the living dead?" The young master wasn't surprised at all. He said indifferently, "I just happened to meet the second master on my way back to my room. He's sending someone to pick her up and prepare to bring her to the laboratory for a comprehensive test. You don't have to worry about this."
"Okay, okay, then I won't disturb you anymore. Young master, please have a good rest." Elder Shen wanted to take credit, but he didn't expect that the young master already knew about this. He could only smile awkwardly and was about to leave.
"Wait!" The Young Master suddenly thought of something and asked Elder Shen, "Have you settled down Cheng Mengying? Remember to never untie the rope on her! "
"Don't worry, Young Master. I know what to do!" Elder Shen immediately put on a naughty smile and said proudly, "I've already asked my men to lock Cheng Mengying and that Yin girl together! Anyway, Netherworld Cultivators are all zombies, and they have always looked like ghosts. Before they are taken away, I can scare that little girl Cheng Mengying a little. At the same time, I can also take her spirit down a notch, so that she can be more tactful in the future! "
Looking at Elder Shen's proud and elated expression after his evil scheme succeeded, the Young Master reckoned that he must have suffered quite a bit from that little girl, which was why he came up with such a wicked idea. It would be good if he could teach her a lesson.
"That's a good idea. Let's do that! Everyone has been busy moving for the past few days, so they must be a little tired. You should rest early too! "The Young Master nodded and waved his hand casually, sending Elder Shen away.
After Elder Shen left, the Young Master wanted to go back to his room to sleep. However, he remembered that he hadn't seen his father since he came back, so he could only sigh helplessly. He changed his clothes and went out again, heading towards the largest room in the courtyard.
At the other end of the courtyard, Cheng Mengying was being led forward by a rope by a guard unwillingly. They were led to a simple room.
At this moment, Cheng Mengying's heart was filled with anger. After a few days of tiring traveling, her clothes were almost completely covered in dust, and there were a few dead leaves stuck to her hair. Her entire body was soaked in sweat, feeling sticky and extremely uncomfortable.
Right now, what Cheng Mengying hoped for the most was a place where she could take a good bath. In the end, after arriving at this courtyard, she was brought here and there, with a few guards changing. She even walked to such a strange place, so she was in a terrible mood.
Fortunately, although the guards were not very polite to her, they didn't do anything out of line, so Cheng Mengying could still control herself. However, with her current dirty clothes and messy hair, no one would be interested in her.
"Go in, there's something good waiting for you inside!" Outside the room, the guard opened the door and pushed Cheng Mengying from the back to the front. After pushing her through the door, he slammed the door shut and called his other companions to take turns to guard her.
"Shameless thief, you're courting death! If you have the ability, untie the ropes on me. If I don't beat you to death, my surname isn't Cheng! " Cheng Mengying staggered from the push and almost fell. She turned her head and wanted to roll her eyes at the guard, but she found that the door had been closed. She angrily shouted at the door.
"Who … Who's here?" When Cheng Mengying was throwing a tantrum at the door, a faint female voice suddenly came from the corner of the room.
Cheng Mengying was shocked. She didn't expect that there would be someone else in this room. She immediately turned her head back and felt that the entire room seemed to be filled with a cold air. It was as if there was a white ball hiding in the dark corner, and the voice came from there.
She couldn't help but shiver. Cheng Mengying gathered her courage and took a deep breath. She walked a few steps in that direction and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that the white ball seemed to be a woman. Moreover, it was a woman with disheveled hair!
After a few more glances, Cheng Mengying realized that the woman's face was completely covered by her hair. She couldn't see her face at all. After hesitating for a long time, she still gathered her courage and asked carefully, "Hey, you … Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost? Why do you look so gloomy? "
"Eh? This voice seems a little familiar … "The woman in white suddenly muttered softly. She then slowly raised her head and stared at the young girl standing in front of her.
After staring for a while, the woman in white realized that although the young girl's face was covered in dust, the outline of her facial features was very similar to someone she knew. She tentatively asked in a low voice, "You … Are you Miss Cheng Mengying?"
Cheng Mengying was slightly startled and said with some confusion, "I … I am! Who are you? How do you know me? "
"I'm Nie Xiaoyu. Do you still remember me?" The woman in white forced a smile and introduced herself softly.
