Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

Chapter 177 Cultivation World: Shen Family

"You're going to the Shen family in Jiangning Prefecture?" Xuanji Zhenren looked puzzled. "You..."

She glanced at Hu Caiwei standing beside her and said, "How can we feel at ease if you travel alone?"

"My disciple is much more conscious and can protect himself. If Master and Mother are worried, why don't you come with me?"

"Why do you have to go look for your senior sister?"

"I had a dream last night that my senior sister was in trouble. I felt uneasy when I woke up."

"Well." Master Xuanji looked at the determination on Yu Tang's face, thought about it, and it was not impossible. She hadn't gone down the mountain to play for a long time, so she might as well take this opportunity to go down the mountain and have some fun.

"Then go back and pack up, and leave in the afternoon."

Yu Tang felt much more at ease knowing that Master Xuanji was traveling with him.

She didn't need to pack anything, so she changed into casual clothes and took two sets of clothes and stuffed them into the storage space.

After a quick meal and packing up, the three of them prepared to set off.

Master Xuanji closed Qingshu Peak and announced to the outside world that master and disciple were in seclusion together.

"Do you want to tell the master?"

"What's there to say? Talking to him will only bring bad things."

"Besides, I left a letter for him, but he didn't see it, so it's not my fault."

Yu Tang looked at the paper under the teacup on the table in the main hall. There were only three big characters "going down the mountain" written hastily on it.

The three of them avoided the crowd and, led by Master Xuanji, went down the mountain from a small path at the back of the mountain and turned to the small town under the sect.

The town is very prosperous, with many people seeking immortality and asking for the way coming and going, and disciples who make pills and refine weapons will come here to trade things.

"Let's go quickly, so as not to be seen by people we know." Hu Caiwei pulled the two of them into an alley nearby.

When they reached a place where there were few people, the three of them flew into the air on their swords and headed straight for Jiangning Prefecture.

Jiangning Prefecture is the largest and most prosperous city in Dongsheng Prefecture, five times larger than Liyang City.

Yu Tang and Hu Caiwei followed Master Xuanji and landed on the roof of Yuning Tower, the commanding height in the center of the provincial capital.

Turning over and entering an empty room, Yu Tang listened to the sounds of stringed instruments, singing, dancing and laughter coming from across the wall, and his mouth twitched.

Where did you bring this to her?

"Yuninglou is the largest restaurant in Jiangning Prefecture. Let's have a meal here and get some information."

They came out of the empty house and went down four or five floors before arriving at the restaurant lobby. Along the way, Yu Tang saw many unruly men and women, which frightened Hu Caiwei so much that she quickly covered Yu Tang's eyes.

"Is this a proper restaurant?"

Xuanji Zhenren glanced at her and said, "Children don't understand normality."

The three of them found a table by the window in the lobby and sat down, then called the waiter to take their order.

Yu Tang felt her pockets, she didn't have any money with her. "Master, mother, do you have money? We ordered so many dishes, do you have enough money to pay for them?"

"It's useless to worry about this. You look down on me, don't you? Come on and eat."

At the end of the meal, Yu Tang didn't listen to the people around him talking about anything influential.

"Let's go." Master Xuanji threw three medium-grade spirit stones on the table, stood up and walked straight out of the Yuning Tower.

Can the spirit stone be used in the mortal world? In Lu Qiuzhao's memory, it cannot be used in Liyang City.

Master Xuanji brought Yu Tang and Hu Caiwei to the gate of Shen's residence with ease.

There were white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Shen Mansion, and the door was wide open. A man who looked like a manager and two servants were standing at the door to greet the guests who came to pay their respects.

“Who died?”

"Looking for my great-grandmother."

Yu Tang nodded and followed Master Xuanji towards the gate.

"Um... Immortal, may I ask which sect you are from and where you are from?" The manager looked at the three people in front of him. He didn't need to care about the two behind because one was too young and the other was too weak.

On the other hand, the person in front, although he was wearing only the simplest robe of the cultivation world, his whole temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

"Zixiao Sect Songyue, I had a relationship with your family master a hundred years ago. I passed by Jiangning Mansion and heard that his grandmother passed away, so I came to express my condolences."

"It turns out to be the Immortal Master of Zixiao Sect. Please come in, please come in."

Master Xuanji led the two of them into the main gate, passed through a screen door, and entered a living room where a man who looked like an accountant was registering the funeral gifts and money brought by the guests.

Walking to the accounting desk, Master Xuanji took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Before anyone could open it to record the accounts, he turned around and walked out of the living room.

Outside the living hall, we passed another screen door, walked along a winding corridor, followed the crowd through the hanging flower gate, and finally saw the main courtyard.

The main courtyard was hung with white banners, and faintly, one could seem to hear crying sounds.

After entering the courtyard, I saw the mourning hall.

The head of the Shen family, along with his entire family, young and old, were dressed in mourning.

Yu Tang looked around a few times but didn't see any sign of Shen Xiangxun.

"Go away, stay away from me." Master Xuanji waved his hands and winked.

"Just follow me, your mother. Pretend you don't know me for now and act according to circumstances. If you get into trouble, don't be afraid. I'm here for you."

After she said this, Yu Tang obediently took a few steps back and disappeared into the crowd on the side, pretending that he came with the others.

She was a little confused at first, but the next moment, she understood why.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Wuzhi, knew Master Xuanji. When he looked up and saw Master Xuanji, his whole body stiffened.

The polite smile was very forced, and when Master Xuanji asked about Shen Xiangxun, his eyes wandered and he looked guilty.

"Xun'er was too sad, so I let her recuperate in the backyard."

When Master Xuanji asked to meet Shen Xiangxun, he hesitantly made up some lame excuses.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like the head of a top five cultivation family. Yu Tang thinks he's even worse than Lu Qiuliang when he was pretending to be one.

It was Mrs. Shen who stood up and temporarily made up an excuse that Shen Xiangxun needed some quiet time to recuperate and that she would go to meet him when she was better.

When Xuanji Zhenren left, Yu Tang saw the eldest lady glance at him, and then two servants of the Shen family followed her. There were also some servants and maids who almost never let Zhenren out of their sight.

Yu Tang took advantage of the chaos and hid in the side yard on the other side.

He slowly spread out his mental power, avoiding people and searching for Shen Xiangxun's whereabouts in the compound.

There were two strange places in the nine-story courtyard, and Yu Tang didn't dare to explore them further.

The old man of the Shen family, that is, Shen Wuzhi's grandfather, was said to have been in seclusion for many years. He was in the fusion stage before seclusion, but no one knows where he is now, and no one knows whether he is still in the Shen family. Even when his wife passed away, he did not show up.

There is also a grandfather of the Shen family, Shen Wuzhi's father. He is now in the late stage of refining emptiness. When his mother passed away, he only showed up once and left the funeral ceremonies entirely to Shen Wuzhi, and then retreated into a deep house.

The head of the Shen family, Shen Wuzhi, who presided over the funeral ceremony in the front yard, is only in the early stage of out-of-body experience.

After searching the entire yard and finding no sign of Shen Xiangxun, Yu Tang turned his attention to the two rooms with many restrictions.

One is big and the other is small. One is a separate courtyard and the other is just a side room. Judging from the surrounding location and layout, that one should be where the female family members live.

She quietly moved to the side room. There was no one guarding the area around the room, but there were spiritual restrictions on the front, back, left, right, and even the roof.

If anyone tries to destroy it, they will be immediately noticed by the person who placed the ban.
