"Most likely in Gu Chi Manor?"
Ning Qi looked at Zhantai Qingyin.
"Most likely in Gu Chi Manor. Gu Tianya and Ouyang De have a close relationship. I believe the Nangong Family has searched most places, but they have never entered Gu Chi Manor."
Zhantai Qingyin said.
Ning Qi nodded slightly. Sishui Prefecture was not far from Jinling City. Since he was here, he might as well stay for a few days.
"Find an inn first. It's best if it's closer to Gu Chi Manor."
Ning Qi said.
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhantai Qingyin got into character again.
Not far away, a few constables of the Six Fans Divine Constables who were passing by swept a glance at the two of them, but they did not recognize Zhantai Qingyin. Perhaps in their hearts, they would never have thought that the little she-devil would one day transform into a servant girl.
They asked for two rooms in the inn. Zhantai Qingyin's room was next to Ning Qi's. After she returned to her room, Ning Qi looked at his right arm.
"You can come out now."
Four ghostly faces appeared, then turned into light and landed in front of Ning Qi. Four girls who looked 13 to 18 years old appeared.
"How do I address you?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The four ladies looked at one another, and then a hint of confusion appeared on their faces. One of them, who looked the oldest and was like a big sister, said in a low voice, "Young Master, after we died, we were imprisoned by Gu Tianya. We can't remember our names when we were alive."
"You can't remember your names when you were alive?"
The four girls nodded in unison.
"What about other memories when you were alive?"
The four girls shook their heads.
Ning Qi sighed softly. "In that case, you will be called Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter."
"Thank you, Young Master, for giving us names."
The four girls smiled happily.
After they became ghosts, they seemed to be born with the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Their subconscious told them that following Ning Qi was their only choice. Moreover, Ning Qi's aura made them feel very comfortable. Now that Ning Qi gave them names, it meant that he would not chase them away easily.
The names of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were arranged according to age. Winter was the youngest, only 13 or 14 years old. However, her aura was stronger than Spring, Summer, and Autumn. She was probably equivalent to a human cultivator at level 3 or 4 of Qi Refinement. The other three girls were around level 1 or 2 of Qi Refinement.
"How much do you know about Gu Tianya?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The four women's expressions changed slightly as if they had thought of something.
Spring calmly said, "Gu Tian Ya is a despicable person. The Lunar Hand that he cultivates allows him to continuously torture the women he kills, trapping them in his hands for his use. If the person he kills is a man, there won't be any other phenomenon. Every month, he has to kill at least two women. Some women's souls can't withstand the torture and will directly dissipate. Other than that, the women he kills must be virgins."
"Must be a virgin?"
Ning Qi's expression darkened.
Zhantai Qingyin had said that Gu Tianya had become famous over 10 years ago, and it was very likely that he'd obtained the Lunar Hand at that time. During this period of time, the number of virgins he'd killed was probably innumerable, and it was even more than the number of specters they'd seen earlier because a portion of them had dispersed.
Ning Qi sighed. "He died too easily."
"Young Master, you don't have to take it to heart. As long as Gu Tianya is dead, we are already very gratified. I believe that the other sisters can also die in peace."
Spring comforted.
"I heard that his grandson was a rapist. He should have also cultivated the Tai Yin Hand. Why is he not a virgin?"
Ning Qi asked again.
"Gu Tianya had taught his grandson that if he wasn't a virgin, he'd need double the number of specters to achieve the same effect. Therefore, his grandson had to kill four women every month!"
Xia said softly.
"Zhantai Qingyin killed him, and it could be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the people."
Ning Qi sneered. "If this guy was allowed to live to 70 or 80 years old, wouldn't he have to kill thousands of innocent women!"
He paused. "Is the missing young lady of the Nangong Clan at Gu Chi Manor?"
"There are still seven or eight women imprisoned in Gu Chi Manor. Gu Tianya couldn't absorb too many specters at one time, so he'd keep some women on standby all year round."
Spring said.
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
"Young Master, your hand is so comfortable. Can I go in and sleep …" the youngest, Dong, said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Dong, Young Master is asking a question."
Chun, Xia, and Qiu looked at Dong, frowning slightly.
Dong lowered her head shyly.
Comfortable?
Living in the body of a Golden Core cultivator, filled with spiritual energy, how could it not be comfortable?
Dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door.
Ning Qi smiled. "Come up."
Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong looked at each other, then turned into a dim light and entered Ning Qi's arm.
Opening the door, Zhantai Qingyin said with a solemn expression, "I saw a group from the window just now, and the leader is one of the Qianhu of Sishui Commandery, Nangong Muxi. She's a disciple of Haoran Clan's Sect Master, Yue Yunfeng. When the Guardian of Sishui Commandery retires, she's one of the people most likely to become the Guardian of Sishui Commandery!"
"Do you think she's here for Ouyang De or the Nangong Clan?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"Ouyang De's death can't be hidden. She might be here for both reasons, because Ouyang De is one of the Deputy Qianhu under Nangong Muxi."
Zhantai Qingyin said.
"I plan to go to the Nangong Clan to accept the mission. If you're afraid of being recognized by Nangong Muxi, wait for me at the inn."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Nangong Muxi might not go to the Nangong Clan. Even if she sees me, she won't think that I'm disguised as someone else's servant. I'll go with you."
Zhantai Qingyin thought for a few breaths and said.
The Nangong Clan.
Nangong Haotian frowned. His wife was sitting beside him. Her eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
The Nangong Clan had a total of seven branches, and the elders of the other six branches were also present. These elders' cultivation levels ranged from the first to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
In the hall, there were more than ten cultivators. These cultivators were dressed differently, and they had arrogant expressions on their faces. However, in front of Nangong Haotian, they still maintained a certain level of silence.
"Everyone, my daughter has been missing for fifteen days. If you have any clues, or if you can find my daughter, I'll give you two hundred thousand taels of pure gold. I won't go back on my word."
Nangong Haotian said slowly.
"Don't worry, Nangong Clan Head. Although our cultivation levels aren't high, we have our ways in Sishui Prefecture. It's not difficult to find someone."
A strong man said loudly.
He was a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and he controlled a gang in Sishui Prefecture. He also had some connections with the Six Fan Divine Arrester Sect, so when he said this, he was very confident.
The rest of the cultivators also promised.
However, Nangong Haotian's expression was still solemn. He had already put up a bounty for many days, but there was still no news of his daughter's whereabouts. In fact, in his heart, he didn't have much confidence that his daughter was still alive.
"Master, they're also here to accept the bounty."
An old servant walked into the hall with a man and a woman.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.
