Sima Youyue sighed in her heart and said to the consciousness, "If you're really not dead, I'll definitely take care of Mu Si."
Mu Lianjie's lips curled up slightly. It seemed like he had heard her words.
Mu Si looked at Sima Youyue. Seeing the slight change in her expression, he knew that there should be no problem.
After a while, Sima Youyue withdrew her divine sense and returned the jade slip to him, saying, "There's no treasure map inside."
"Nothing?!" Mu Si was shocked. "How could there be nothing? Father clearly said that this was very important. If he disappeared, we could use this to find him. "
"There's a trace of consciousness left behind by your father inside," Sima Youyue said, "He sealed it with a restriction so that you can enter when you're strong enough."
Mu Si was a little disappointed. If this wasn't a treasure map, what right did he have to negotiate with her?
"Don't be disappointed. I promise you that I'll take you to your father, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find him. Because even he himself doesn't know what will happen when he goes there. "Sima Youyue said.
Mu Si understood the meaning behind her words. She was saying that the future was unknown and his father might not be around anymore.
"Since there's no treasure map, then why did Father tell others that he went to look for treasure?" Mu Si didn't understand.
"I think, firstly, it's to cover your tracks. Secondly, it's to protect you." Sima Youyue said.
Since his father was a taboo topic here, Mu Lianjie definitely couldn't brazenly say that he was going to save him. But if he wanted to go out, he had to find a reasonable reason.
In addition, if something happened to him, as long as the treasure hadn't appeared, Mu Si would be fine. At least, a so-called friend like Yangzi would raise him with a purpose.
However, she couldn't tell Mu Si about this right now. It would be best if she could still find Mu Lian Jie. If she couldn't, then she would tell him the truth.
After the commotion, they were no longer in the mood to eat. Sima Youyue put away the food and took out the tables and chairs to decorate the house. Finally, it looked like a house for people to live in.
There were only two bedrooms. After Sima Youyue kicked Di Wu into Mu Si's room, she closed the door and thought about Mu Lianjie and her father. However, she didn't receive any news and couldn't think of anything. She sighed and decided to cultivate tonight.
In order to ensure their safety, she casually set up a boundary around the courtyard. Then, the three of them either slept or cultivated. The courtyard was noisy for a while before it finally quieted down in the afternoon.
Compared to the tranquil courtyard, the outside of Ghost City was in chaos. In the morning, the young master of the Zhang family was killed. In the afternoon, Meng Tianshan's life jade was broken. The seventh master of the Pang family was also dead. The young master of the Pang family was missing. He couldn't find any trace of him even with the secret method.
This series of events caused the several families to explode. If at the beginning they were still suspicious of Zhang Shuo chasing after that refugee, then now they were completely at a loss.
Because there were so many guards, it wasn't something a brat could deal with. Especially Pang Qi, he was half a step into the paragon rank. It was because he was powerful that he was sent to protect the young master. Now that he was dead and the young master was missing, they determined that the suspect was someone above the paragon rank.
However, there were many people like that in the entire Ghost City. It wasn't easy to find out who it was.
However, no matter how difficult it was, they had to investigate. How could they let someone who dared to kill their young miss, young master and so many guards off! Especially when it concerned their reputation, they had to investigate.
The Pang family had to investigate even more because their young master's whereabouts were unknown!
If it wasn't for the fact that his life jade was still intact, they would probably go berserk like the Zhang family.
Zhang family's residence, meeting hall.
The person who went out to investigate today was kneeling in front of the Zhang family's elder, Zhang Qi.
Zhang Shuo's position in the Zhang family wasn't particularly high. Although they sent people to investigate, it wasn't enough to trouble the entire elder group and the clan head. The clan head sent Zhang Qi to be in charge of this matter. It was already considered important. If it was someone else, he would probably send a steward to be in charge.
"What did you find?" Zhang Qi asked.
"Replying to elder, we saw young master Zhang Shuo's schedule today. Everyone said that he chased that brat Mu Si to a remote place." The leader of the guards said.
"Then why didn't you capture that Mu Si?" Zhang Qi asked.
"That Mu Si shouldn't be. Also, his identity is special. It's not good for us to capture him. "The guard replied.
"Why?"
"His father is Mu Lian Jie."
Hearing Mu Lian Jie's name, Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed, "It's actually him."
"Yes. Because of the City Lord's decree, we can't easily capture Mu Si. "The guard said," However, that Mu Si can't possibly kill young master Zhang Shuo. "
"Mu Lian Jie's son, shouldn't he be more powerful?" Zhang Qi asked.
"Replying to elder, this Mu Si isn't Mu Lian Jie's real son. He was brought back when he went outside fifteen years ago." The guard said, "That's why he's only a fifteen year old child. He's only been cultivating for a few years. How could he have the strength to kill so many guards and young master Zhang Shuo? Young master Zhang Shuo and a few other young masters and young mistresses from other clans would beat him half to death. "
Zhang Qi thought about it and eliminated Mu Si. Since he was someone without any conditions, there was no need to think too much about it.
"Since those people saw Zhang Shuo chasing after Mu Si, then Mu Si might have discovered something. You guys go to his place and investigate. See if you can find any clues." Zhang Qi said.
"Yes, elder."
On the second day, Sima Youyue was disturbed by the movement from the enchantment. When she woke up from her meditation, Mu Si had already gone outside to walk around and came back. Her enchantment was to prevent outsiders from coming in and disturbing her, but it didn't prohibit the people inside from leaving.
Mu Si didn't think that he would encounter an obstruction when he entered the courtyard. He walked forward with his head lowered. When he felt the courtyard, he walked in, but he didn't expect to be blocked outside. He used all his strength to rush forward, but he was rebounded by a force and fell to the ground.
He was still wondering why he couldn't enter the courtyard when a ripple flashed by. Sima Youyue's voice was heard.
"Come in."
Mu Si climbed up and patted the dust off his clothes. He slowly tried to enter, and this time, there was nothing blocking him.
"Where did you go?" Sima Youyue opened the door and asked.
"I went out for a walk to see the situation outside." Mu Si said, "What was that just now?"
"Enchantment. Don't you know? "
Mu Si shook his head and said, "My father rarely taught me these things. When I was able to cultivate, he had already disappeared. "
Sima Youyue saw his curious eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to learn?"
