"This……"

Fei looked at the strange scene and atmosphere here, and looked at Tang Qingyi in panic, wanting to ask him about the next arrangements.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

Tang Qingyi looked at everything here coldly, without saying much, just ordered:

"Let's find a place to stay. We might be here for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

Cang went to find a hotel to stay in as instructed, and only added one sentence when he came back to report.

"Young Master, I do not recommend that you live there. It is suspected to be a shady place and you may encounter danger."

Tang Qingyi nodded to indicate that she understood, but she still wanted to stay in that hotel. When asked why, Tang Qingyi replied:

"I'm afraid there isn't a safe place in this town. Dangers that are exposed can at least be prevented, but dangers that are concealed are more frightening."

Cang nodded in agreement and took his belongings and moved into the hotel.

Tang Qingyi took a quick look and found that the hotel was very old and looked like it had been there for a long time.

If you look closely, you can find traces of decoration on the door frame and walls. The table looks clean, but there are also many scratches and signs of fighting.

Tang Qingyi lifted the tablecloth, took a look, and put it down again.

Fei asked her what was wrong with a curious look on her face.

Tang Qingyi replied indifferently:

"It's okay, I just found that the tablecloth doesn't look as good when it's uncovered."

The words were spoken calmly. Under the table, Tang Qingyi quietly made gestures, indicating that this place was dangerous and that attention should be paid. Cang and Fei were stunned and did not speak.

Tang Qingyi originally wanted them to live together, but because of the difference between men and women, she couldn't let Cang live with her, and naturally she couldn't let Fei live with her alone.

So the three of them separated and waited until night to gather together and meditate and practice.

The first night passed easily, and nothing unusual was noticed. However, the innkeeper looked at them with a complicated expression.

Tang Qingyi didn't understand, and neither did the two personal guards, so no one paid any attention to him.

During the day, several people wandered the streets under the pretext of traveling, observing passers-by.

Passersby were also secretly observing them, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Tang Qingyi looked at the seemingly peaceful street and didn't know what to do for a moment. She couldn't just resort to trap enforcement.

Although she had heard Cang say that this was the town with the most chaotic public security, Tang Qingyi was at a loss as to what to do except that it looked peaceful on the surface.

However, Tang Qingyi discovered a problem. There was no authority in this town. Neither the nobles from the kingdom nor the branch halls of the Spirit Hall were here.

In other words, there is no one in charge here. But in a small town where no one is in charge, shouldn't there be some kind of boss or disputes?

Why does it look so boring here?

Yes, boring.

It was an unusually peaceful place, and nothing had happened, making Tang Qingyi, who was trying to find the most evil person here, feel like a fool and was just wasting her time.

But if there was no one guilty of such heinous crimes even here, Tang Qingyi really didn't know where to look for him.

As the Saint of the Spirit Hall, she spent most of her time in the academy. The people Tang Qingyi saw were either those who lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of the Spirit Hall, or the sinners of the Slaughter City, and those corrupt nobles.

Even the people killed during the mission were only the rebels from the Spirit Hall, and there were no so-called extremely evil people.

Now he came to this busy and chaotic town, but he didn't see any crime. Could it be that the people here were on guard against them?

Just as Tang Qingyi was thinking of this, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the hotel, crackling and very loud.

When Tang Qingyi heard the noise, she rushed to the scene of the hotel, trying to figure out what had happened.

However, when Tang Qingyi arrived, all she saw was bloodstains that had not yet been cleaned up and bystanders around who turned a blind eye.

As for the murderer and the victim, there was no trace at all and there was no way to find out.

Tang Qingyi and the others tried to find out what happened, but no one answered them. Passersby who heard their questions just gave them a weird smile and didn't give them any answer.

Tang Qingyi felt the attitudes of the people around her and was very confused. What kind of place is this? Why are their attitudes like this?

Unable to get an answer, they decided to observe secretly and find out the history of this town.

It was easy to say, but it was difficult to implement. The town looked very run-down and the economy didn't seem to be very developed. According to Tang Qingyi's inquiries, there was no production occupation at all.

If no one is engaged in production, where do their living materials come from?

Looking at the desolate appearance of this town, it doesn't look like anyone comes here to do business.

A strange feeling weighed on her heart, making it hard for Tang Qingyi to breathe. She suddenly felt that something was going on here, and it might have gone against her original intention.

On the first day she arrived, Tang Qingyi carefully checked the food she ate and found nothing wrong with it.

However, the meals served the next day were a little different. Two of the dishes contained sleeping pills, but the dosage was not large and at most it could only help with sleeping.

Tang Qingyi took a look and put some of the dishes into the storage soul guide, and picked up the rest as if she had already eaten.

She turned to Cang and Fei and instructed, "Go back to bed tonight, and pay attention to the changes in the room when you go back."

The two men took the order and went back, only to find that the incense in the house was different, with a lot of sleeping pills added to it.

However, the amount of medicine was enough to change the smell of the incense burner. It was too obvious. Did the innkeeper look down on them?

Tang Qingyi had a new guess. Could it be that the incense burner was just a cover, and there was something else in the room that was problematic?

Tang Qingyi glanced over and asked Cang and Fei to check if there were any extra things in their rooms.

When they checked the room yesterday, there was nothing wrong with it. I wonder what the result will be today.

As expected, they sprinkled sleeping potions on the bedding in the room, but the dosage of the potion was not much. If mixed with the medicine in the food, it would become a very strong hypnotic that would make them fall into a coma.

This was just one thing after another. Tang Qingyi sneered and asked them to pretend to be asleep. She wanted to see what the innkeeper was going to do!

Several people pretended to be asleep for about an hour, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock, Miss Qingyi/Miss Feifei/Mr. Cang, are you still awake? I'll bring you some hot water."

Tang Qingyi and the others continued to pretend to be asleep and ignored him.
