Cangyun City was indeed quite close to Qingyun City. Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao flew on their swords and arrived here in just half an hour.

As soon as they stepped into Cangyun City, they keenly noticed that the people around them were filled with a panic atmosphere.

The uneasy feeling was like invisible smoke, floating slowly in the air.

"Oh, I heard that Liu Erniu's daughter is going to get married in three days. How can she get married at this critical moment? Liu Erniu must really want to let his daughter go, and he is not afraid that she will disappear like the rumors say!"

A woman standing by the vegetable stall said with a worried look on her face. Her voice was slightly hoarse and full of worry.

"They say they disappeared, but in fact they are just dead and their bodies are missing. They say they disappeared just to leave a memory for the families of the brides."

Another person took over the conversation, his tone full of helplessness, his eyes dim, as if he saw those unfortunate fates.

"Haha, it's because the other family offered a high gift. Liu Erniu just wanted to take a chance for the money. Just think about it, what's the situation of Liu Erniu's family?!"

A middle-aged man shook his head with a hint of disdain on his face and a bit of shrewdness in his eyes.

"Oh, that's right. His son is looking to get married, but he can't even pay the bride price. No woman is willing to be with him. Just for his son, he puts his daughter in danger. Tsk tsk tsk, he is such an incompetent father..."

An old man sighed, his weather-beaten face full of emotion.

"Who says it's not true? It's just that the world is unfair. A woman can only find a good family to marry into. That's her best destiny. She can only rely on her son for support in her old age."

A young woman frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, her voice was crisp, but with deep helplessness.

"Oh, I feel for Liu Erniu. If I were to make a choice, I would make the same choice. After all, my son is the most important."

A man echoed, as if lamenting the reality and agreeing with Liu Erniu's approach.

"If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that Liu Erniu's daughter is not a boy..." another person sighed, his tone full of regret.

Just then, a few passers-by came over from a distance and joined the discussion.

"Are you talking about Liu Erniu's daughter? She is not suitable for marriage these days. I also heard that brides are disappearing one after another. It's too scary."

A young man in coarse clothes looked terrified.

"Who knows? Maybe he was captured by some monster." Another person guessed, his voice trembling slightly.

"I don't think so. Why would a monster target married women? I think it might be some evil person at work." An old man stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

"No matter what, girls are not allowed. Fortunately, they only catch girls. Fortunately, my family is full of boys, so I won't be the one to suffer any bad consequences." A woman began to show off for no apparent reason.

"Having too many boys is not good. Do you have enough dowry to marry your sons off?" Another woman couldn't stand her boasting.

"I am happy even if I can't afford it. I have a son, unlike you..."

Then they started arguing for no apparent reason, saying some meaningless trash, and the topic became more and more off-topic...

As cultivators, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao had excellent hearing, so they naturally heard the people gossiping at the nearby vegetable stall.

They originally thought that this was a clue related to the mission, so they listened for a while longer, but they didn't expect it to become more and more irritating the more they listened.

Especially Gu Qingze, as a person who has received modern education, he is really unable to accept their extremely feudal ideas.

Chu Lingxiao thought that this was just an ordinary conversation, but even so, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
