The green tea female partner wins in the novel about cultivating immortals

Lu Sangjiu had to act silly and sweet to the end, so she just kept her head down eating, looking like she didn't care much about anything.

When it came to asking questions or testing, Yan Zui took the lead and Xie Ningyuan assisted.

After talking about the city lord's wife, Yan Zui went straight to the point without any further detours.

“We came in a hurry this time, and the junior sisters who came last time had not had time to inform us of the specific situation, so we need the city lord to explain to us in detail what is going on, so that we can know where to start the investigation. "

The city lord was stunned, and couldn't help showing some suspicion on his face, "This... although the mission has not been successful yet, but you have done the mission, you should report it to the sect, right? Didn't you get the file from the sect?"

Yan Zui said with some embarrassment, "To tell you the truth, the junior sister who came back last time has a bad relationship with me, and the two of us also have a somewhat competitive relationship."

"Especially for this mission, the meaning of her success is different from that of my success, so..."

She stopped talking at this point and only gave the city lord a "everyone understands" look.

Although it is ambiguous, wherever there are people, there is a struggle for power.

As the lord of a city, he was more or less aware of the twists and turns here, so at this moment, his face also showed a look of understanding, as if he believed what Yan Zui said.

"So that's it... But when the fairy was investigating here, he didn't disclose the specific content to me. I may not be able to tell you much."

When he said this, the city lord looked ashamed, but Lu Sangjiu didn't miss the flash of joy in his eyes.

Yan Zui pretended that he didn't feel anything was wrong, and said with a sincere smile, "It doesn't matter, the city lord can tell us as much as he knows, it will be helpful to us."

Then the city lord told the whole story.

The first female cultivator who disappeared in the city was a casual cultivator in the foundation building period, just a month ago.

At that time, she was living in an inn in the city. Later, the shopkeeper noticed that she was missing and thought she had run away, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

But other casual cultivators who had made an appointment with her to hunt monsters in the forest outside the city also came over later, and then they discovered that the female cultivator might have disappeared.

It was just a casual cultivator. Although they thought he might have disappeared, no one wanted to cause trouble, so they did not report it to the city lord's palace.

The second missing person was also a casual cultivator in the foundation building period, and his situation was similar to the first one.

It wasn't until the third missing female nun appeared that she was a young lady from a big family who ran away to play. The family chased her all the way and found that she was missing, which alerted the city lord's palace.

At that time, the big family said that a reward would be given to anyone who could provide clues. It was only then that the affairs of the two missing female nuns were revealed one after another.

However, the City Lord's Mansion did not find any clues after searching. As a result, another female cultivator disappeared six days later.

This one was better than the previous one because it was discovered immediately and there were witnesses.

After tracing all the way, four female corpses were finally found in the woods outside the city. After identification, they were the four missing female nuns.

Moreover, they died in a miserable state, as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry by something, which was very terrifying.

The city lord realized that something was wrong and hurriedly reported it to the Hehuan Sect.

Hearing this, Xie Ningyuan suddenly said, "This matter doesn't sound simple, but why was it that after you reported it, the sect didn't give it a high rating? It actually only sent foundation-building monks before?"

The city lord looked helpless, "I don't know this either! I wrote everything clearly. Maybe it's because the female cultivators who were killed were only in the early stages of foundation building?

"To be honest, I felt strange when I saw the several foundation building stages that came back last time. But thinking that the sect's foundation building stage might be more powerful than the golden elixir stage here, I didn't say anything more."

Yan Zui nodded and asked, "What happens next?"

"Not long after I reported it to the sect, another female cultivator disappeared, and then people from the sect arrived."

"When they were investigating, they happened to encounter another female cultivator who was missing. They seemed to have found some clues, but they didn't tell me. Then before they found out the results, they said they had to go back to the sect first and asked me to etc."

The city lord spread his hands helplessly, "In this case, I have no other choice but to wait, and while waiting, another person died."

After a pause, he added, "Calculating the time, it has been five days since the last person died. I guess someone may die again in the next few days."

Luo Linlang couldn't help hearing it, "They have gone back, why don't you, the city lord, continue to investigate? They can find something in the foundation building stage, so it makes no sense that you can't do anything in the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

The city lord looked innocent, "Fairy, if you say this, you are wrongly blaming me."

"I have to handle all the affairs in this city. How can I have time to guard that murderer all day long?"

"I have a few golden elixir stage men under me, but they also have their own affairs to deal with, and they can't live without people."

"The remaining foundation building stages are not comparable to those of the sect. How can they be that capable?"

"And if we could, we wouldn't have to ask the sect for help in the first place, right?"

Luo Linlang was very angry at his sophistry, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only say angrily, "...It's all excuses!"

She always wore a golden mask that covered the upper half of her face, which not only concealed her own aura, but also made her whole person inconspicuous.

The city lord didn't pay much attention to her before and only regarded her as an unimportant role.

When he heard her say this, his face looked a little ugly.

"Fairy, everyone works for the Hehuan Sect. I have always respected you, but that doesn't mean you can bully me at will."

Luo Linlang frowned, "I'm just talking about the matter. Who is easy to bully or not? You are anxious when I tell the truth. Is there something wrong in your heart?"

"Okay!" Yan Zui couldn't help but say something, then turned around and glared at Luo Linlang, "Don't talk nonsense."

Luo Linlang was still a little dissatisfied, but she saw Lu Sangjiu also winking at her, telling her not to be impulsive.

She had no choice but to sit down aggrievedly, and then...then her tears couldn't help but started to fall down.

City Lord: "..."

No, after she scolded someone, why was she still crying? ? ?

Yan Zui coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, my friend is not sensible. I didn't mean to offend."

The city lord's face was still dark, but he seemed to be particularly wary of Yan Zui, so as soon as she opened her mouth, he didn't say anything more even if he was unhappy.

After that, Yan Zui asked the city manager for the specific files on this matter, and the meal ended without any embarrassment.

On the way back, Luo Linlang held Lu Sangjiu's arm aggrievedly and complained to her through a message.

"That old guy doesn't look like a good person at first glance. I think we can take down the whole city lord's mansion first, then arrest him and torture him. Maybe the case will be closed!"

Lu Sangjiu: "..."
