Mu Qingxi entered the town smoothly.

Because the town is not very big, there is no need to check for a pass or anything like that. You only need to pay a three coppers entrance fee to enter the city.

Mu Qingxi has also visited many cities in the secular world in the past three years, so she prepared some secular currency.

When she entered the town, she found that both passers-by and vendors looked at her strangely.

Because it is a coastal city, the grilled squid on the roadside tasted very good. Mu Qingxi walked over and ordered ten skewers of large squid.

She saw the kebab boss also looked at her, then sighed and asked directly,

"Boss, am I weird? Why do people look at me like that?"

The boss raised his head, looked around carefully, and then said with some fear,

"Girl, get out of here!"

"why?"

The boss lowered his head and grilled the squid seriously without saying a word.

It seemed as if the reminder just now had used up all his courage.

Mu Qingxi took the giant squid, ate a string of it herself, and threw the rest into the space when no one was paying attention to feed Xiaobai and the others.

She continued to stroll around the town, occasionally buying some small items like conch shells and wind chimes.

Mu Qingxi could sense that the atmosphere in this town was very wrong.

Although it's not busy, there are still people coming and going on the streets.

If you were to say it was lively, the townspeople's behavior didn't seem to indicate it was.

Mu Qingxi's intuition made her feel that she needed to investigate the situation here.

Just as she was strolling around, an old woman with a hunchback ran straight towards Mu Qingxi and fell down beside her.

Mu Qingxi was stunned. Was this a scam?

But, that’s not right, this girl is clearly a girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Although he was disguised, his mere foundation-building stage could not be hidden from Mu Qingxi's eyes.

Mu Qingxi squatted down, intending to see how this person would act.

Then she saw the "old woman" lower her head and whispered,

"Girl, follow me."

Then he stood up tremblingly, waving his hands and saying,

"Girl, I'm fine. I was just walking carelessly."

Then he walked away with the basket.

Mu Qingxi looked at the old woman's back and narrowed her eyes.

Look, isn’t the clue here?

Mu Qingxi was not afraid and slowly followed the old woman.

The old woman was afraid that Mu Qingxi couldn't keep up, so she occasionally pretended to be tired and rested on the side of the road.

The sun gradually set and the wind was very strong at the seaside at night. Mu Qingxi followed the old woman to the gate of a small courtyard.

The old woman walked in and left the door half open for Mu Qingxi.

Mu Qingxi used his spiritual sense to scan the entire yard and found that there was only a low-level defensive formation, only of the third grade.

In the yard, apart from the female cultivator who was in the Foundation Establishment stage and pretending to be an old woman, there was also a male cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, and the rest were ordinary mortals.

Mu Qingxi walked in confidently. With just these people, she was not afraid at all that they would ambush her.

After the gate was closed, Mu Qingxi saw two girls coming over. They took the basket from the female cultivator and said,

"Sister Zixi, let's go cook." After the two of them finished talking, they saw Mu Qingxi behind the female cultivator and said in surprise,

"What a beautiful sister. Oh, luckily Sister Zixi met her."

The female cultivator also turned around, and her body shape changed, suddenly transforming into a beautiful female cultivator in her twenties.

Mu Qingxi pretended to be shocked and frightened.

The female cultivator quickly said,

"You don't have to be afraid. My name is Zi Xi. I will explain it to you clearly. If you don't believe me, you can leave."

Mu Qingxi nodded, pretending to be somewhat wary.

Zi Xi didn't care at all and turned around and walked into the main hall.

At this time, the male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage also walked out of the east wing, followed by a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old who had no cultivation experience.

When the young man saw Mu Qingxi's appearance, his eyes were full of amazement. He only came to his senses after being confronted by a male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

The boy blushed and lowered his head, muttering that he wanted to help light the fire, and hurried to the kitchen.

The male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage also walked into the hall and smiled as he invited Mu Qingxi to come in and sit down.

Mu Qingxi entered the room, sat at the small round table, and asked somewhat stiffly,

"I wonder why the senior brought me here?"

Mu Qingxi's current cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining Stage, so he has to call her Senior Zi Xi.

Zi Xi smiled gently and spoke with patience.

"My name is Zi Xi, his name is Lu Yan, and he is my junior fellow apprentice. We brought you back here to save you."

Seeing the confusion in Mu Qingxi's eyes, Zi Xi continued to explain,

"You may not know since you just arrived here, but this city is full of people capturing beautiful boys and girls. If you are discovered by them, they will definitely capture you."

"Who is arresting people? Doesn't the king care?" Mu Qingxi asked.

The secular world is mostly managed based on country boundaries.

Lu Yan angrily interrupted, "That dog emperor is incompetent and unjust. Isn't he the one who arrests people everywhere?"

Mu Qingxi was also surprised. She continued to ask, "Then why did they arrest people?"

Zi Xi shook her head.

“I don’t know either. I joined the sect ten years ago. I only came back to visit the graves this time and discovered all this.

Soldiers had already come to arrest us, but we were monks after all, so we escaped.

I wanted to leave quickly, but I saw that they had already arrested several people.

I saved those children and promised to send them home, so I stayed. "

Mu Qingxi could sense that Zi Xi was telling the truth and that this man's kindness was genuine.

I think the two girls and one boy just now were the ones rescued by Zi Xi.

But when she was investigating outside the door before, she knew that there were two children in the east wing, and she thought that they were also rescued by Zi Xi.

Mu Qingxi explained her origins.

She still used the alias Qingyang and said she was a casual cultivator.

Although this name was given to her younger brother by her grandfather as a full name, she had been using it for a long time so she just used it casually.

Senior sister Zi Xi and her brother both looked like very kind people, so Mu Qingxi stayed.

On the one hand, it was to continue exploring the situation here, otherwise she would have to stay in the inn.

On the other hand, it is also to protect these people.

If something really happened, Zi Xi, who was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, might not be able to protect everyone.
