The hostess said I flirted with her

The nine households have finished their inquiries, and the younger brothers and younger sisters are sharing what they just heard. The discussions are in full swing, and some of them have angry faces and are filled with righteous indignation.

Hearing the noisy discussion, Nan Shuyu frowned and said, "Why are you so noisy?"

The originally noisy inn was suddenly silent, all the disciples looked at each other, and the last junior sister with a handsome face stood up and said angrily: "Fifth senior sister, you don't know, those people are too pitiful!"

Nan Shuyu looked up, and the person who spoke was the junior sister who had dragged her away to the river earlier, named Liu Fuzhi.

Nan Shuyu looked at Yun Yanqing, and Yun Yanqing looked at Liu Fuzhi indifferently, and said coldly, "What's going on?"

Liu Fuzhi summed up what he asked and what other people asked, and told them.

Of the nine people who were eaten, six were women and three were children.Without exception, these women were abused at home, either because their husbands were aggressive, or because they were beaten by their mother-in-laws because they could not give birth to a son.

The same goes for the children who were eaten. Except for Chengzi, the other two were girls. Those two families disliked girls very much. One family even said that being eaten was helping their family avoid disasters and not raising her for nothing.

Hearing this, Nan Shuyu was furious. She was born in a family of cultivators. The family of cultivators is different from the secular world. The more advanced the cultivator, the more difficult it is for the offspring. Let alone boys and girls, as long as they can have children, who cares about their gender.Like her father and mother, both of whom are Golden Core stage monks and have two cubs, which is considered rare in a family of cultivators.

What's more, there are not a few powerful female cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals.

She almost forgot that patriarchal patriarchy is still upright in the world.

Among the eleven disciples present, less than half are disciples from secular backgrounds. Hearing this, he didn't feel much emotion. He only felt that those two families were too mean.

It happened to be a junior sister and two junior brothers who went to inquire about that family. The junior sister drew her sword on the spot when she heard the words, and was stopped by the two junior brothers so that no disaster was caused.

The junior sister still stared angrily at the two junior brothers who stopped her, and still blamed the two junior brothers for stopping her.

Yun Yanqing reprimanded coldly: "You still want to kill them?"

The junior sister was shocked, and the anger on her face turned into unwillingness, and finally she could only hold her breath and sit down.

Keenly aware that Yun Yanqing was not in the right mood, Nan Shuyu stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, but the latter froze, and did not shake off her hand after all.

"Okay, okay," Nan Shuyu said to break the frozen atmosphere, "Apart from the watcher, did anyone else see monsters eating people?"

"Yes!" A junior stood up with a strange expression on his face, "But that person drank that night—"

"He said he saw Nian eating people."

Nian beast eats people?There is still half a year before Chinese New Year, where is the Nian Beast coming from?

Nan Shuyu couldn't help but look at him, the disciple quickly sought support from his companions, another junior also nodded and said: "That man said so, his family said that he was afraid of the Nian beast since he was a child, he might have drunk too much that day, see Bad eyes."

The beater sees the black bear, and the drunk sees the Nian beast.

It seems that there are indeed monsters, and they seem to be picking on those poor people.

what is this?It will not always be to help them detach themselves as soon as possible.

Nan Shuyu had some vague eyebrows, but couldn't tell.

The mayor came in from the backyard, saw all the fairy masters were there, and said with a smile: "The fairy masters have worked hard all day, why not have dinner first. The villain has prepared the room, if the fairy masters are tired , you can go upstairs to rest for a while. It’s not too late to find that monster tomorrow.”

Cultivators will only fast when they reach the golden core stage, and no longer need to eat.The disciples have been busy all day, and now they are hungry.

Glancing at Yun Yanqing, she was wondering what she was thinking, so Nan Shuyu decided to let the disciples eat first.

Nan Shuyu pulled Yun Yanqing to pick a table and sat down, and put the sword on the table.

This is her natal magic weapon, named Dongliang, but unfortunately she is not strong enough now, she will be able to further integrate with the Dongliang sword in the Golden Core stage, and then she will be able to receive Dongliang into the Golden Core.

Until the waiter in the inn brought all the dishes to the table, Yun Yanqing kept looking at the teacup with heavy eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Nan Shuyu pondered, took out a pen and paper from the Qiankun bag, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper.Looking up and seeing Yun Yanqing still staring at the teacup, Nan Shuyu gently pushed the note over.

Yun Yanqing, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly saw a piece of paper pushed to her hand, and the handwriting on the note was flying and phoenix, and it was written——

what do you think

Yun Yanqing was stunned, and the boredom in her heart was swept away. She couldn't help but glance at Nan Shuyu, who met her gaze, and smiled sweetly at her.

There was a trace of helplessness in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and said angrily: "Look at what I am doing, don't eat quickly."

Nan Shuyu tilted her head to look at her. Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything and did not force her, she took the chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables to eat. Halfway through eating, she suddenly thought about tearing up the note, but she was stunned when she glanced out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing her suddenly startled, Yun Yanqing casually said: "What's wrong?"

Nan Shuyu shook her head, it's just a piece of paper, if it's gone, it's gone.

It was dark after dinner.

Yun Yanqing discussed with Nan Shuyu how to find this monster.

Nan Shuyu thought for a moment, and said her thoughts, "I think, why don't we start with the people who were eaten?"

Yun Yanqing understood what she meant, and said seriously: "You mean looking for other abused women or children in Xizhi Town?"

Nan Shuyu nodded, "This is the most obvious commonality of those nine people. This kind of people should have certain characteristics that attract monsters and beasts. Let's start with this aspect, and maybe we can get good results."

The brothers and sisters who were waiting for orders looked at each other, Liu Fuzhi stood up again and said, "But can this really attract monsters?"

"I can't tell." Nan Shuyu rubbed the lines on the scabbard and said thoughtfully, "Now we have no other way."

Liu Fuzhi couldn't help but said, "But if we can't protect—"

"Otherwise, why did you let you come to practice?" Yun Yanqing interrupted her impatiently.

Liu Fuzhi was startled, then sat back to his seat in silence.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters were all silent, Nan Shuyu said comfortingly: "If this method can attract the monsters, we can take advantage of the situation and kill the monsters. If not, then we will consider other methods."

Yun Yanqing glanced at the silent disciples, and said in a final word, "Just do it like this."

Hearing that they were looking for people who had suffered the same unfair treatment as the previous nine, the mayor was very embarrassed, and finally he gritted his teeth and took them there.

There are four other families like this, and they are not sure what the selection criteria of the monsters are, so they have to divide the disciples into four teams and secretly protect the four.

Yun Yanqing came forward and gave each of the four "decoys" a talisman to ensure their safety.

Seeing those four thin women beside Yun Yanqing, Nan Shuyu couldn't bear it, so she ran to the open space outside Xizhi Town to practice swords.

But here is not Lianjue Peak, Nan Shuyu couldn't stretch her arms and legs at all, on the contrary, the more she practiced, the more aggrieved she became, so she had to stop and lean on the stone with her sword in her arms in a daze.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the flickering stars dot the dark sky, and the silver-gray starlight is reflected in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Shuyu heard a familiar voice saying, "Why are you sitting here?"

Turning his head to look, it was Yun Yanqing who came.

Nan Shuyu asked: "Senior Sister, is the arrangement over there ready?"

Yun Yanqing walked to her side, looked up at the deep starry sky, and said, "Well, we just wait."

Thinking of the dull-eyed woman she saw just now, Nan Shuyu rubbed her face irritably, "I hope I can attract that monster."

Seeing her like this, Yun Yanqing asked, "Are you angry?"

Nan Shuyu didn't know how to express her feelings, so she just smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, let's go and look around, maybe we will find something else."

As night fell, every house in Xizhi Town lit up the lights. If there were no monsters invading, Nan Shuyu would rather stay in this place for a while.

"I remember you have a younger brother?"

Yun Yanqing said suddenly.

"Huh?" Nan Shuyu was distracted, and smiled when she heard this, "Yes, she was born in May last year."

At that time, she had perfected her qi refining and was working hard to build a foundation as soon as possible, officially embarking on the road of cultivating immortals.

By the time she came out and saw the family letter, her brother's hundred-day feast was over.

Afterwards, there were all kinds of things, and she didn't even have the chance to go home, so that her younger brother was one year old, and she had never seen him.

But why did she suddenly mention this?

Before Nan Shuyu could ask, Yun Yanqing said after deliberating, "Do you like your brother?"

Nan Shuyu replied without thinking: "Of course I like it, especially my brother's talent is not as good as mine."

Yun Yanqing didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and didn't think of how to answer for a while.

Nan Shuyu continued: "My father said that if my brother's talent is better than mine, I will take over the Nan family and let him concentrate on his cultivation. After all, he will be the Nan family's backer in the future."

This sentence was really beyond Yun Yanqing's expectation, she stared at her blankly.

Thinking of this, Nan Shuyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Fortunately, his talent is not as good as mine, otherwise I would have to go back and take over the family affairs."

Seeing her bright smile, Yun Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "So your goal is to become the family's backer?"

Nan Shuyu raised the Dongliang Sword in his hand, gestured twice, "Yes! If anyone dares to bully my brother in the future, I will poke him into a sieve."

Yun Yanqing chuckled, "Then you have to work harder."

Seeing Yun Yanqing finally laughing, thinking of her strange behavior in the afternoon, Nan Shuyu couldn't help asking: "Senior Sister, do you have something on your mind?"

Nan Shuyu remembered that Yun Yanqing was the only daughter of the head of the Yun family, and the so-called younger siblings did not appear in the article, so she should not have the trouble of fighting for power.

Yun Yanqing smiled slightly, met her concerned eyes, sighed softly and said, "I don't have anything on my mind."

"Senior sister doesn't say that on her face." Nan Shuyu looked at her disapprovingly, seeing that she didn't want to say anything, she had to take out a pack of candied fruit from the Qiankun bag, opened it and handed it to her, "Come on , eat one."

Looking at the candied fruit handed to her eyes, Yun Yanqing's eyes drooped slightly and she didn't move.

Seeing that she was not moving, Nan Shuyu casually twisted one and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffed up, and said vaguely: "Since Senior Sister doesn't want to say anything, I can only pry your mouth open with candied fruit!"

Yun Yanqing smiled helplessly, put her finger on her wrist and nudged it, "I'm not like you, children love to eat candied fruit."

The corner of Nan Shuyu's mouth twitched slightly, she withdrew her hand docilely, twisted another one and threw it into her mouth before rewrapping the candied fruit and throwing it into the Qiankun bag.

Now both of her cheeks are puffed up.

Nan Shuyu deliberately pretended to be displeased, and said: "Senior Sister, it's fine if you don't eat, and you still laugh at me as a child."

Yun Yanqing glanced at her amusedly, and was about to speak when her expression froze suddenly.

"coming!"
