Chapter 251 Yun Ruyi, We Are Not That Familiar
She felt deep sympathy for Su Yanqing's experience, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She had always thought that he was unlucky, but she didn't expect it was not an illusion!
If the current situation did not allow it, she would really like to use her mediocre fortune-telling skills to help him calculate whether he was really unlucky.
"There was a strange incident of missing children in Shuiwan City. You didn't practice in the middle of the night, but ran out to jump into the water to look for beads. Naturally, it was suspicious no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, Shuiwan City had a curfew, and you came to the city without inquiring in advance. It was natural that you were caught!" Jiang Liqian couldn't help laughing and shook her head.
As expected, this young master who is surrounded by people and does not have to support himself does not even know the basic common sense of walking outside.
After she reminded him of this, Su Yanqing realized how rash he was and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Why are there so many missing children in Shuiwan City? Do you need my help?"
"temporary……"
Just as he opened his mouth, the door was opened again. This time, it wasn't just one person who came in, but dozens of people. Jiang Liqian turned her head to look, and her pupils shrank involuntarily.
Outside, there were guards from the City Lord's Mansion, and even disciples from the Qiankun Sect. And at the front of the group of disciples was Yun Ruyi, whom he hadn't seen for nine years.
The other party seemed surprised to see her here. He pursed his thin lips, and a glimmer flashed in his gentle eyes as he walked towards her.
"Qianqian." She lowered her eyebrows and performed the etiquette of an inner disciple to a direct disciple.
Her heart trembled violently, and Jiang Liqian looked away. She felt uncomfortable both mentally and physically at the name, and wanted to vomit out of disgust.
"Yun Ruyi, we're not that familiar with each other. Please call me by my full name. Or, you can respectfully call me Senior Sister Jiang, according to the distinction between direct disciples and inner disciples!"
Hurt flashed in Yun Ruyi's eyes: "Qianqian..."
Jiang Liqian didn't look at her and walked straight to the door. "I'm a disciple of the Qiankun Sect's Zhenfeng. I'm willing to serve the City Lord's Mansion and capture the culprit who kidnapped the child. I wonder if the City Lord has time to meet us?"
The guards outside the door were already shocked when they saw that she was familiar with the immortal master from Qiankun Sect. When they heard that the other party was not only familiar with the immortal master, but also a disciple of Qiankun Sect's Zhenfeng, they dared not neglect her and someone immediately went to inform the city lord.
Most of the disciples who came from the Qiankun Sect this time were outer disciples. Some of them had seen Jiang Liqian, but most of them had not. Seeing her being so rude to their Senior Sister Yun, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Several junior brothers have already stood behind Yun Ruyi to support her.
So what if he was a direct disciple? Qiankun Sect never cared about this. No matter who it was, he couldn't be so arrogant and treat his fellow disciples like that, right?
Jiang Liqian didn't often interact with people in the sect. After what happened in her previous life, she was too lazy to put in the effort on this. She just glanced at them lightly and went back to the house to help Aunt Chen.
Su Yanqing didn't expect that she was actually from the Qiankun Sect. When he heard her self-explosion, he was shocked and angry, feeling that he had been fooled by her!
"Didn't you say you were just an ordinary cultivator?" He leaned close to her ear, gritted his teeth, and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Liqian remained calm: "Isn't it common sense to wear an ordinary vest when walking outside? Why, you don't have one?"
"I..." Su Yanqing's face turned red. She wanted to refute, but she didn't have the confidence.
Yun Ruyi stepped forward at this moment, interrupting their "eye contact" and whispered to Jiang Liqian, "Qianqian, the person who informed the city lord is back and wants to take us to the council hall to discuss the missing child case. Let's... go."
When Jiang Liqian heard her calling her like that, her eyes turned cold and she ignored her and thought it was a waste of her breath.
She helped Aunt Chen up and took her and Uncle Zhang to the meeting hall.
The two elders had never seen such a magnificent place, and they dared not sit on the chairs made of Nine Spirit Wood. Jiang Liqian was afraid that Aunt Chen would faint due to exhaustion after losing her child, so she turned around and asked Su Yanqing if he had brought any tables, chairs or stools with him.
Su Yanqing was bewildered: "Do I need to bring this with me when I go out?"
Jiang Liqian suddenly remembered that the other party was most likely running away from home and would definitely not bring these useless things with him. She herself had never had any concerns in this regard. She had always been a life of poverty and would stay in an inn if there was one. If there was no inn, she could make do with a tree, a haystack, or a large rock.
So she couldn't help but look in the direction of her fellow disciples.
"I have some very ordinary bamboo stools. Auntie, uncle, it's okay for you to sit on them." Yun Ruyi stepped forward, took out two stools from her Qiankun bag, and helped the two elders sit down.
Jiang Liqian looked at her in surprise.
She never knew she would actually carry these with her.
But she didn't have time to think about such trivial things now - the mayor of Shuiwan City was here.
Although he was a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the man appeared to be a gentle and honest middle-aged man. Even though he was wearing gorgeous clothes, the aura he exuded was still very friendly.
He has neither the arrogance of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage nor the arrogance of a city lord.
Jiang Liqian looked at him and finally understood why Shuiwan City could grow from a small fishing town into such a huge city.
"Greetings, City Lord." Everyone present saluted him.
City Lord Zhao nodded to everyone and invited the disciples of Qiankun Sect to sit in the seats of honor. Yun Ruyi refused to sit in the first chair and insisted that Jiang Liqian sit there. Jiang Liqian didn't want to waste time arguing about this matter, so she sat down.
Su Yanqing saw her sit down and was about to sit next to her without thinking, but Yun Ruyi blocked him first.
She smiled at him, but there was not much laughter in her eyes: "My...fellow Daoist, this is the seat for our Qiankun Sect disciples. May I sit across from you?"
Su Yanqing didn't care about these things. He nodded and walked towards the opposite side.
But for some reason, he always felt that the gaze staring at him from behind was... inexplicably hostile.
He didn’t do anything like abandoning his wife and children, did he?
Jiang Liqian had never been aware of this undercurrent. Thinking of the two little kids, she immediately told the city lord everything she knew and the details she had asked Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhang.
"The same is true for the previous missing cases." City Lord Zhao had a serious expression on his face. With a wave of his sleeve, dozens of identical files fell in front of everyone present, even Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhang.
"I suspect this is a demonic act, but even with double the number of patrolling guards, we haven't found any trace of it. It's truly a difficult situation."
Shuiwan City relies on the legend of the full moon to attract countless monks to come and search for treasure. If the case of missing children is not solved in time, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Shuiwan City.
