Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

In the early days of opening the gate, the disciples’ spiritual power was insufficient, and they always needed to stop and rest after flying for hundreds of miles. So when they were tired of flying, they would walk on the ground and wait until they recovered some spiritual power before continuing on their journey.

The third time they went to the fields, they were already close to the city. On the official road, they came across a deserted teahouse, and Cheng Yuanyuan suggested that they sit down and have a cup of tea, and she would treat them.

Others expressed no objection. In the past six months, it has not been uncommon for disciples in the sect to ask each other to come to help them.

After finding a seat under the shed, Cheng Yuanyuan waved and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me two pots of the best tea."

"Girl, I only have some black tea, brick tea and coarse tea in my shop. If you want to drink Longjing, Biluochun or Tieguanyin, I really don't have it!"

Cheng Yuanyuan laughed and responded: "Then whatever tea you have, please."

"Okay, I'll make one for you, just wait." The old man was familiar with the steps of warming the pot and cup, adding tea leaves and water, scraping the foam and rubbing the tea leaves, which were quite spectacular and dazzling to watch.

Soon, several bowls of tea were served. Lu Jinzhao first used the back of his hand to feel the temperature at the edge of the teacup, preparing to let it cool down before drinking.

The old man noticed his little action and said with a smile: "Little kid, if you are afraid of heat, you should drink it slowly. It has just been boiled!"

Bai Chao looked at the tea with disgust on his face, but seeing that Cheng Yuanyuan was drinking it happily, he hesitated for a while and finally drank it.

Well, it just tastes like tea, and his tongue really can't tell whether it's good or bad.

Zuo Shishi asked curiously, "Uncle, how long have you been running this teahouse? Why are there so few customers?"

The old man's face changed slightly: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't say it, don't let it hear! Because of it, no one is on the official road!"

"Him?" Ye Wuhen's metal wristband knocked against the wooden table, making an unpleasant sound. "What happened, old man? Who is he referring to?"

Xue Yiting patted his chest and said, "If someone bullies you, you can tell us and we will help you deal with him!"

"Looking at your attire, you are not disciples of the local sect, are you?" The old man looked them up and down. Seeing that although they were disciples of the sect, they were just a few young people and children, he sighed and shook his head: "It is better for you not to know, so as not to lose your lives in vain."

Xi Moxuan: "Tell me something, old man, maybe we can really help you?"

Cheng Yuanyuan agreed: "Yes, Grandpa, although we are not that powerful, we still have some skills. Maybe we can really solve your problem?"

No matter how much they asked, the old man refused to say more. He packed up his teacups and said, "You guys should leave quickly. I, an old man, will also close the door and go back to avoid disaster!"

After paying for the tea, the group walked back to the official road. Qiansui, curious, began to search for all the events related to the area during this period of time. He found dozens of them at once and was surprised: "It seems that the security in this area is not very good. Let me see which sect is in charge of this area? ... It's the Wuji Sect again. Have they expanded here?"

"Remove those ordinary events and select those with a bit of supernatural." Lu Jinzhao's eyes did not linger on the light screen, "Leave the ordinary events to the local authorities."

"Supernatural? Let me see... Damn, these dozens of pieces are all like that!"

"Then let's start with the earliest time."

"I've been thinking about it. Half a month ago, a strange thick fog appeared in Cui's mansion in the east of the city. More than 30 people in the mansion all disappeared mysteriously!"

"Look into other missing persons cases. If only the people in Cui's house encountered such misfortune, there is no need for them to be so worried about each other."

"These are all missing persons cases. For the past half month, two people have been missing every day, men, women, young and old. The time of their disappearance is unclear, but according to the statements of the people who reported the case, the last time they were seen was before midnight."

Lu Jinchao took out a black gold compass and pretended to calculate according to the procedure. Then he said to the people who were still discussing: "I have calculated it. It is in the east of Duli City, Cui Mansion."

The calculation technique that Fafeng was currently teaching was just a superficial skill, and it was already difficult to use it to find objects and people. Only after opening the third eye could one learn advanced spells and calculate the secrets of heaven. The fact that the mark between his eyebrows was the third eye had never been concealed from the outside world, and the entire sect knew about it. In addition, he often went to various peaks to take classes, and learned a lot of basic techniques, and he actually succeeded in deceiving several people.

As a fellow disciple of Fafeng, Bai Chao looked at him with resentment: "That's great, little senior brother. I also want the Heavenly Eye... The master has never kept anything to himself. The Heavenly Eye Secret is placed in the library for all disciples to read. But I have worked hard for several months, but I haven't found the way to open the Heavenly Eye at all... Can you tell me what it feels like to open the Heavenly Eye?"

"It can only be understood, not expressed in words." Lu Jinchao put away the compass and stated the information he had found from Qiansui, saying, "This matter can be big or small. Duli City is not under the jurisdiction of our sect. The incident should be handled by the disciples of Wuji Sect."

The implication is that they have no obligation to enforce the law across sects and should not meddle in other people's business.

Xue Yiting curled his lips: "But aren't we here to study? If we can solve the difficult problems of Wuji Sect's disciples, won't the people trust us more and be more willing to send their children to our sect?"

Xi Moxuan nodded: "Yes, little brother, the purpose of cultivation is to be chivalrous, otherwise what's the point of being so powerful? What's more, Duli City is my hometown. If something like this happens, I will definitely not sit idly by."

Lu Jinzhao raised his lips and said, "Since you are curious about the whole story and want to investigate, I won't stop you."

Cheng Yuanyuan happily reached out and lifted Lu Jinzhao up from under his armpits and spun him around: "Great! Junior brother, you are the best!"

Lu Jinzhao: “…Put me down.”

Chitose on his shoulder: "Emma, ​​I feel dizzy."

Just like the last time when the four masters and apprentices entered Changli City, they were stopped at the gate of Duli City by several people wearing the school uniforms of Wuji Sect disciples.

"Which sect are you from? I've never seen this kind of sect uniform before." A Wuji Sect disciple touched his chin with ill intent: "Do you have an admission token? If not, we can't let you in."

"Token!" Cheng Yuanyuan slapped his head and said, "Oh no, the token is in my room, I forgot to take it with me! I was thinking I forgot something, Bai Chao, did you take it with you?"

Bai Chao spread his hands: "Who in Changli City doesn't know me? There has never been an occasion where I need to show my token in person, okay?"

Cheng Yuanyuan: “…Me too.”

Upon hearing this, the three Wuji Sect disciples began to look them up and down. Unfortunately, they did not recognize them. However, from the accessories around their waists and the hair ornaments on their heads, they could tell that they seemed to have extraordinary family backgrounds. So they grinned and said, "Little beauty, even if you don't have the token, we can let you in if you give us 500 spirit stones."

"Want to blackmail me?" Cheng Yuanyuan pretended to summon the alchemy furnace to smash them to death on the spot, "Maybe in the next life!"

Bai Chao hurriedly stopped Cheng Yuanyuan and whispered in secret: "Don't make any trouble now. I will accompany you to kill them when night falls."

Lu Jinchao took out the city entry token that Sui Guanxian had conjured with a stone last time from his Qiankun bag and showed it to the Wuji Sect disciple. "Is this it?"

The admission token was valid throughout Guangting State. The Wuji Sect disciples exchanged glances and could only reluctantly let them into the city.

"Unlucky, I thought I could make a fortune."

"Why don't you just say his token is a fake and get the spirit stone first?"

"How dare I? If I'm discovered by the commander of the guards, I'll lose my head!"

The three people's muttering reached the ears of a few people who had not yet walked far.

"Ha, I'm speechless." Bai Chao crossed his arms, with the whisk in his arms, "I will kill them tonight."

Xue Yiting: "Take me with you."

Zuo Shishi: "And me!"

A talisman appeared from Xi Moxuan's fingertips, and he said with a smile, "I drew a little spiritual power from them. I can use this talisman to find out their location at night."

Ye Wuhen gave a thumbs up: "Well done."

After entering the city, they naturally had to visit the market, but before that they had to find a place to stay. Xi Moxuan led them towards his home, "My house is not very big, but it is enough for a few of us. I hope you don't mind. Come with me."

That being said, when they actually stood at his doorstep, everyone was still astounded by the garden.

Chitose: "Damn, this area is bigger than my courtyard house. Did he misunderstand the meaning of "not very big"??"

Zuo Shishi was so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth: "What does your family do? Why do you have such a big house? And why don't you hang a plaque with the name Xi Mansion on your front door?"

Unexpectedly, even Xi Moxuan himself was shocked. He looked around at other buildings and confirmed that it was his home address. He was a little unbelievable: "I heard from my mother that she wanted to renovate the mansion, but this...I sent back so much money?"

Xue Yiting was shocked: "You didn't sell the magic weapon given by the headmaster and send it to your family, did you?"

Otherwise, judging from the disciples' monthly allowance, although it is enough for an ordinary family to have food and clothing for a year with some surplus, it should not be enough to buy such a big house.

Unless it is a newly issued top-grade magical weapon.

Xi Moxuan waved his hands repeatedly and took out his magic weapon to show him: "How can that be possible! It was given to me by the headmaster. Even if I sell myself, I can't sell it! Besides, wasn't the magic weapon sent out just a few hours ago? I have been with you guys for the past few hours. There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Who cares? Just knock on the door and you'll know if it's your home." Cheng Yuanyuan gently pushed him and said, "Go knock on the door. If it's really your parents inside, they'll definitely be happy to see you."

He walked up to the door, picked up the copper ring on the doorstep, and knocked on the door. Xi Moxuan shouted, "Xiao Hu! Xiao Ying! I'm back!"

Zuo Shishi: "Are Xiaohu and Xiaoying your brothers and sisters?"

Xi Moxuan shook his head: "No, it's my family's dog."

"..."

After waiting for a long while, there was no movement from the door. Xi Moxuan scratched his head: "It seems that this is really not my home. In the past, Xiaohu and Xiaoying would have come to pick me up long ago."

Bai Chao looked up at the hot midday sun and said, "It's not a good idea to wait here like this. Let's find an inn to stay first, and then we can split up. The girls can go shopping to buy the things they like. Ye Wuhen, you and I will go to find out about Cui's house in the east of the city. Xue Yiting, you can accompany Xi Moxuan to find a home. How about that?"

Chitose pointed at himself and the host: "What about us?"

Bai Chao joked, "Look at what Elder Mao said. How dare we arrange anything for you? You and Junior Brother can just rest in the inn for a while and do whatever you want. Or go shopping with the two girls?"

Lu Jinzhao smiled and stepped on his foot: "You are rude."

"Junior Brother, I was wrong!" Bai Chao hugged his foot and jumped up on one leg: "You are so cruel, Junior Brother!"

Cheng Yuanyuan and Qiansui: "You deserve it."

"Okay, let's do as you say." Lu Jinchao said, "I'll go to the largest inn in the city to book a room. You guys go separately and don't be too conspicuous. Meet up at the inn before dinner."

"Roger that!"

Bai Chao handed his storage ring to Cheng Yuanyuan: "Spend it, no need to save money for me."

Cheng Yuanyuan rolled her eyes on the spot: "Are you pretending to be rich? I have plenty of money! Ugh!"

Bai Chao: "Hey! How come you don't know how to appreciate kindness?"

Several people quarreled and dispersed in three directions, each doing their own business.

"With this straight man's operation, it's impossible to win the beauty. No wonder there has been no play for so many years." Qiansui stretched out his paw pads and stepped on his host's face: "What are you thinking? If you don't know what to do, go to the system space and give me two tons of cat food first?"

"Okay, wait while I go book a room at the inn."

The largest inn in the city, Bibolou, is surrounded by water and connected to the shore by a wooden corridor.

There was a notice at the end of the corridor, announcing that there was an event in the city recently, and the inn was full and the room price had increased. There were not many rooms left. Lu Jinzhao booked the only four remaining rooms, preparing to let them share two rooms and squeeze in with each other.

"It's so expensive, twice as expensive as the inn in Changli City!" Qiansui bared his teeth at the shopkeeper, "Swindler! How can you raise the price like that Cheng?"

"I'm more concerned about the activity written on the notice." Lu Jinzhao walked upstairs, "I have a feeling it will be very interesting."

Chitose complained helplessly: "I know you have a very accurate sixth sense, but don't have a premonition yet. Every time you have a premonition, it's not a good thing!"

Lu Jinzhao raised his eyebrows: "Blame me?"

Chitose pursed her lips: "Then why not blame me?"

The other six people acted separately, and Lu Jinchao was not idle either. He walked around the rooms of Bibo Building invisibly and heard a lot of news. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he wrote it down one by one.

If he had just sat in the lobby on the first floor drinking tea and listening, they might not have said so much.

Seeing that it was still early and he could not get any new information from the Bibo Building, he simply went to look for gambling houses and restaurants. Gamblers and drunkards have weak consciousness and are easy to trick.

The imagination was beautiful, but in the end, because he was too young and had no adults to accompany him, he was asked to leave the restaurant and gambling house and was not allowed to enter.

Qiansui almost fell off his shoulder with laughter. "Why do you write about a setting like 'being picked up by a master at birth'? You have to grow up from the beginning. Can't you just write about the original owner's soul getting lost during the ascension process and then you take over his body? Wouldn't it be better to become an immortal in a second?"

"Do you think Sui Guanxian can't see that there's a new person inside the shell? With how protective she is of her child, she will definitely crush our souls and yours to get the original owner back." Lu Jinzhao picked up the cat and put it back on his shoulder. "Besides, it's not fair to the original owner. I admit that I do favor girls over boys, but I'm not that bad to my son."

"No, you mean, even if you ascend, you are still no match for her???"

"Yeah." Lu Jinzhao smiled and added: "After all, she is the ceiling of combat power."
