In a sense, those in charge of the outer court often have more opportunities to contact "strangers" than those in the inner court.

Like a sect as big as Qingyumen, those low-level disciples and servants in Qiao's family who do not have bigu need food, and the family's shop and Zhuangzi have various general affairs, plus there are some who need to run errands, but they will not let them go. The head of the inner courtyard has to do small things in person.

There are many opportunities for the director of the outer court to go out, and the frequency of dealing with people in the market is also very high. Although it is not enough to travel all over the world and know everything, it also has its own various information channels.

Most of the people in charge of these outer courts have lived in the Qiao clan for generations, so they are very familiar with the boundaries of Taihu Lake. It is not difficult to find a place to buy property in the towns around Taihu Lake.

But most of the managers or servants of the cultivation family don't spend this effort and thought.

That's because once a person comes into contact with the way of cultivating immortals, seeing the mysterious exercises and those monks cultivating immortals, it's like seeing others drinking fine wine like fine nectar and jade dew. Can't help but yearn for it.

They see that their ancestors and the people around them have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, and they will be called "immortal masters" or "dao masters" among ordinary people, and they are highly respected and envied...

This feeling is probably incomparable to the wealth and splendor of less than 50 years.

It's like Gu Huaiqiong, the general director of Qingyumen Waifeng, who was once a well-known rich man in Mo Xunshan, but later abandoned the comfortable life of his life, and exchanged all his wealth for the opportunity to be in charge of Waifeng.

This is the attraction of "Longevity" to him.

Sometimes people know very well that their talents are actually mediocre, and they also know that the road to immortality is long and difficult, and that not everyone can get a thousand years of life, but they still can't control themselves to look forward to it and put all their eggs in one basket.

The Guo Xiang that Xiao Ran learned from other people in the past two days is such a person who is afraid of death and puts all his eggs in one basket.

But he is not afraid of his own death, but he is afraid that his mother will be like his father, and his life will be exhausted.

Guo Xiang's mother suffered from eye disease due to her age, and his wife had to take care of the young and old, so she couldn't completely abandon her practice, so Guo Xiang was the only member of their family who served in the clan.

Unlike those in charge of the inner court who are deeply appreciated by the Qiao clan, these small in charge of the outer court don't talk about meeting the great powers of the clan on weekdays. Less than a few times.

The errands in the outer court are obviously harder than those in the inner court, and the treatment is not as good as that in charge of Da Neng's side, and they can often get rewards.

Because there is no bigu without the establishment of the foundation, Guo's offering to one person not only needs to provide for the family's daily food and drink expenses, but also maintains his mother's medicine, which is naturally very nervous.

Especially after his father passed away, Guo Xiang became even more nervous. It can be said that he tried his best to prolong his mother's life.

Although it wouldn't be a bare house, but there should be no extra capital to buy some kind of house in the town outside.

What's more, Guo Xiang's son is a three-spirit root, and if he develops well in the future, he will be favored by Qiao's great power, and he should put all his experiences in the clan.

Buying a yard outside can't produce spirit stones, elixir, and magic weapons. For a cultivator, it's not even tasteless.

However, now Sanxiumeng has found the house that Guo Xiang bought in the name of his wife, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

With the news, Xiao Ran and the others finally saw Guo Xiang's family with their own eyes.

In the eyes of Xiao Ran and the others, to be honest, these few people are really too ordinary...

An ordinary old woman, an ordinary woman cultivating Qi with false spiritual roots, a boy with three spiritual roots who have not yet bloomed... Even if they are placed in any cultivation family, they may not be conspicuous at all.

Zhou Xi looked at the young man in the living room nestled in his grandmother's arms, with a frightened expression and trembling body, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Ran who was his age.

Sometimes the way of heaven is so unfair. Some people can't get what they pursue all their lives, but some people seem to get it easily.

Guo Xiang's son is now in the middle stage of Qi refining, and he is far away from establishing foundations and forming alchemy, not to mention that like Xiao Ran, he is already at the late stage of Jindan before he is 30 years old.

If nothing happened to Guo Xiang, this man with three spiritual roots might be able to enter the inner courtyard soon, which would definitely be beneficial to his cultivation.

But now, the entire Qiao family is burdened by Guo Xiang, and it is lucky that his son was not implicated to death.

If nothing more serious is found in the future, it's okay to say...

If evidence is found that Guo Xiang really colluded with outsiders and framed the members of the Qiao clan, then none of his family members will be able to escape.

Guo Xiang's wife, Mrs. Liao, heard that Guo Xiang had purchased a house in her name, and she had a blank expression on her face, followed by endless panic.

"No... no, I don't know him... I didn't, I really didn't participate..." She was so frightened that she stuttered and spoke incoherently, she didn't know how to prove her innocence.

This performance looks very real, giving people the feeling that the wife really knows nothing about what her husband has done.

Of course, this excludes the fact that the woman is acting.

However, if Liao Shi can still act like this in front of all the great powers, then Xiao Ran thinks that this woman is too powerful, she is definitely a more dangerous person than Guo Xiang.

After all, among them, there are sword cultivators with awe-inspiring sword spirit, and there are also many Yuanying and Jindan.

In this battle, a less courageous Foundation Establishment or even Jindan may not be able to withstand the pressure, let alone a minor Qi-refining cultivator.

Xiao Ran carefully observed the woman's expression and movements, and did not notice anything unusual.

——This Guo Xiang did these things, not only hiding the truth from his mother, but also from his wife... I don't know if he was afraid that something bad would happen if they found out, or because he was worried that something would happen, and they would be implicated because of their participation in this matter.

——The people in charge around him couldn't even tell when this person purchased the property outside, which showed that Guo Xiang was very cautious, and it was definitely not a temporary idea. I am afraid that he had already actively or passively had some degree of contact with the attacker.

"In any case, since there are new clues and there is no other progress in the clan, it is better to continue to follow the news of the Sanxiu League, and there may be other discoveries."

Immortal Jianzhang ordered Guo Xiang's wife and children to be taken down to keep watch over him, then turned to Qiao Heng and asked, "What does Patriarch Qiao think?"

Staying in Qiao's guest house for the past three days, they have participated in the interrogation of almost all Qiao clan members who have had contact with Guo Xiang.

The information obtained is not without, but the key thing has not been found, and it may be too early to solve the mystery.

It may not be very meaningful to stay in Qiao's interior like this. Qiao Heng naturally prefers to use two prongs. He also needs to investigate outside, and he can't relax inside.

Immediately Jianzhang nodded his head after hearing what Qiao Heng said: "Old Ancestor Qiao's words are very true... If that's the case, let's arrange people to set off as soon as possible, and go to Duxu Town to investigate first."

……

Xiao Ran and the others were not counted as Little Fuqiu and Little Gray Bird. There were three of them in total. Qiao Heng was worried that Xiao Ran and his master Taoist Chongming would go out with him before the assailant was found, but he was also worried that the two of them would stay alone. , even though it's at Trader Joe's.

Although what happened to Guo Xiang can only show that Qiao's outer courtyard is not an iron bucket, it does not mean that Qiao's interior cannot hide other dangers.

"If something goes wrong with my own affairs, I really have to think about all the problems," Zhou Xi didn't suggest to act separately: "There shouldn't be any danger in a town where ordinary people live, and we naturally want to go with you."

They have already arrived here, of course, they want to find out as much as possible. Since there is nothing inside Qiao's to dig into, or to allow them to investigate, it is really better to go outside to have a look.

Little Fuqiu is about to leave before he is used to living in the guest hospital, but he doesn't feel any discomfort.

It has always been home where there is Xiao Ran...Of course, now Dajianxiu, Xiao Huihui and Xiao Huihui's master are also counted...so he doesn't mind coming and going.

But it doesn't care, the little civet in the yard is obviously a little sad.

It has been very quiet for the past two days, waiting obediently by the side, quietly watching the little furball play with toys, watch the little furball drink milk, watch the little furball offer (move) Yin (twist) to the little gray gray big (active) Tried (dial) but got no response...

Now that he realized that they were about to leave, he followed them all the way to the door, ran back and forth around Xiao Ran and the others a few times, and carefully observed their expressions.

Zhou Xi looked at the little gray bird who pretended to be indifferent and the little furball who was ignorant and had no idea that he had offended "Little Peach Blossom".

He smiled and said: "If you can't do it, just abduct it. It's so beautiful. It's just right for the little fur ball to be brought home as a child bride."

Although the uncle obviously "seeing the excitement is not a big deal", but as a nephew, Xiao Ran couldn't give him a blank stare.

He could only grab the paw of the little fur ball and let it say goodbye to the little civet: "We are going out to do some errands, maybe we will come back, maybe we won't come back, so say goodbye to Xuetuan now."

If the trip goes well and they can prove Qiao's innocence, they probably won't go back to Qiao's again, but return directly to Qingyumen;

If this trip doesn't go well... then I don't know what will happen when I come back here.

Although the little civet is not intelligent, it is still very smart. Seeing Xiao Ran's expression and movements, he probably guessed what he meant, so he called "meow meow" a little anxiously.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, the little fur ball gave birth to a bit of brotherly love, it twisted in Xiao Ran's arms, and asked Xiao Ran to put it down.

Because Qiao's people hadn't come yet, Xiao Ran put the little fur ball on the ground and said goodbye to the little civet.

Seeing this, the little civet immediately came over, and before it could get close, it was slapped on its own small head with a small paw from the little fur ball.

As if to comfort it, or maybe to "educate" it, in short, the little fur ball used its little claws to gently touch the little civet's beautiful forehead a few times, and talked to it peacefully.

"Aooooooow~"

"Meow meow meow~"

The two fur balls had a "serious" exchange, but I don't know if the communication was clear, anyway, Qiao's people had assembled at this time, and when it was time to leave, Xiao Ran hugged the little fur ball.

When Qiao Jin heard the news and came over in a hurry, she could only see Xue Tuan squatting at the exit of the guest courtyard, staring at the way she had come in a daze.

……

On the other side, Qiao's Nascent Soul and two Jindan followed Xiao Ran and the others to Duxu Town in Qiao's aircraft. Since they were all near Taihu Lake, it didn't take much time at all.

The monks of the Sanxiu League also waited for their arrival in the town according to the previous agreement.

Before entering the stronghold of San Xiumeng, Xiao Ran felt an unfriendly sword energy.

After entering the room, he saw a group of sword cultivators wearing the Taoist uniform of Shoushan Sword Sect, headed by Jiang Chen and Gu Xiyi, looking at them warily.
