Chapter 71: Blocking the Road and Giving Gifts
The people of the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect came and left in a hurry.
Song Lian declined Chu Qingyue's suggestion to hold a banquet for them and just treated it as a polite remark.
Although they are serious, holding a banquet sounds immoral. Nowadays, many families in the city have hung white silk. It is impossible for others to set up a mourning hall to cry for their deceased relatives while they are happy and talking normally at the banquet.
Chu Qingyue took Qin Yin with her, wanting to send them to the city gate.
She walked side by side with Song Lian, and it was unknown what they were talking about. Jiang Yu and others fell behind and followed her out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Yu looked at the half of Chu Qingyue's face that was exposed through the gap between Yuan Heng and Fang He.
She was very strong. Since she was rescued from the secret room by them, except for occasionally complaining about herself, she had never complained about the things that Wen Ren Huai left behind.
As soon as she came out of the secret room, she announced the matter of Wen Ren Huai to the whole city, to comfort the people who had been frightened for more than half a month, and asked all the people who had family accidents to come to the City Lord's Mansion to register their information. When some people cursed Wen Ren Huai angrily and accidentally cursed her, she just smiled and told them not to care when they were ashamed.
In the past two days, she has quickly found out how many citizens have been lost in the city because of this incident, how many people have been captured in the secret room, and which of them are in urgent need of medical treatment. She also took Qin Yin to repair the damaged formations in the city one by one overnight, reorganized the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, arranged the tasks of each team, and the protection project of the entire Lingdu was back in operation.
If Wenren Huailai had not interfered, she would have been the mayor of Lingdu City.
The streets outside the City Lord's Mansion were quiet. A disaster had just happened, and most of the people were at home or helping other families deal with the funeral affairs of their deceased relatives. Jiang Yu withdrew his gaze from Chu Qingyue's face and glanced around the street casually. His eyes stopped when they fell on a girl carrying a lunch box passing by at the corner of the street.
The girl was dressed in plain clothes, holding a food box and standing there, seemingly looking at them and thinking about something. As soon as Jiang Yufu met her sight, she immediately put the food box at her feet and hurriedly ran into a yard.
"?"
Jiang Yu didn't understand. As the girl entered the yard, several heads popped out one after another, took a look at them, and then quickly retracted their heads.
Sang Yang, who was walking with Jiang Yu, also followed her gaze and noticed this situation. Unlike Jiang Yu, she was not surprised at all and smiled, "Maybe she is just curious."
Even though the human world is almost full of cultivators, some people have a weak curiosity while others have an endless curiosity. They are used to seeing the cultivators of this sect, so the next time the disciples of another sect come, they will also be curious about what the disciples of another sect are like.
Jiang Yu understood and said "hmm", then looked behind her, only to see Wei Xu, who was at the end of them and walking slowly forward. When he met her gaze, he blinked expressionlessly.
Jiang Yu retracted his gaze and leaned his head slightly closer to Sang Yang: "Where's Jun Mo? Didn't they say he would go with us?"
The last sect competition in Liuyu Secret Realm was ultimately cancelled because of Qin Ling's incident, and it will be re-organized by Nanfan Temple and is about to begin. Jun Mo, as a disciple of Cangyu Sect, was unable to catch up with the competition in Liuyu Secret Realm last time. This time, he was ordered by his master to participate and had to set off for Nanhai Creek.
They were just going the same way, so Song Lian asked him to come along before leaving.
"He went to Uncle Cheng's house." Sang Yang answered her, "Although Uncle Cheng's daughter has returned, her condition is not good. He went to Uncle Cheng's house to give him some tranquilizing pills and to say goodbye."
How to say it, Sang Yang sighed slightly, anyone who encounters such a thing will be in great pain, especially this group of evil demons are so crazy, in order to arouse people's resentment to the greatest extent, they often kill their relatives in front of them after kidnapping a person, but Uncle Cheng's family is different from other families. After his daughter disappeared, perhaps because of the disciples of a large sect like Jun Mo staying with them, those evil demons dared not attack Uncle Cheng's family again. But what followed was that in order to get more resentment, the evil demons would torture his daughter more severely.
Among all the people who came back, Uncle Cheng's daughter was one of the worst off.
Jiang Yu thought of the old man who cried in front of Jun Mo in the main hall at noon, and nodded slightly.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with sunset glow. Under the sunset glow, the gate of a courtyard on the street was suddenly opened. A head popped out, and after seeing them, he looked at them carefully, then quickly retracted his head.
Jiang Yu saw this familiar scene and narrowed his eyes slightly. Before he could open his mouth to express his doubts, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.
"Little Immortal!"
A soft and gentle female voice was heard. Jiang Yu and others in the back and Song Hui and others in the front stopped at the same time, and turned their bodies slightly to look back.
The plain-clothed girl whom Jiang Yu had just seen, accompanied by two young men of similar age, came trotting over here, holding dried fruits and snacks.
Jiang Yu was stunned, and suddenly understood why she did that.
The girl trotted over and stopped in front of Wei Xu at the back. Just as she was about to say something, Wei Xu's figure flashed and suddenly jumped in between Yuan Heng and Fang He. Fang He was so scared that he screamed twice and took two steps back to make room for him.
The girl in plain clothes blinked her eyes and was a little confused, but she didn't care about anything. Seeing the man running away, she moved to Jiang Yu and Sang Yang. The two men behind her also went towards Yuan Heng and Fang He.
She held the pile of things in her hands in front of Jiang Yu and Sang Yang, and smiled shyly: "We have no way to repay the great kindness of the little immortal. You two girls can take these foods and eat them on the way."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, glanced at the slightly red and swollen eyes of the girl in plain clothes, smiled and shook his head.
"We brought some food." She said, pushing the plain-clothed girl's hand back, "You can keep these for yourselves."
"Yes." Sang Yang also agreed, "We don't eat much on weekdays. It would be a waste if we kept all this food here. You can keep it for yourself, girl."
She was not lying. It was said that immortals did not care about worldly matters. Although they had not yet reached that level, most of the time, they ate just to satisfy their cravings. They really could not finish so much food in the girl's hands.
Who would have thought that this girl, who looked shy, actually acted the same way as Jiang Yu. She glanced to her left at Jiang Yu, who rejected her with a smile, and then glanced at Sang Yang, who also had no intention of taking over. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then suddenly took half a step forward, her arms slightly loosened, as if she couldn't hold on anymore, and several paper bags full of things were shaking.
Sang Yang was not on guard against her. Seeing that the paper bag at the bottom was about to fall, he subconsciously reached out to catch it. The girl seized the opportunity and threw half of the things in her hand into her arms. She turned her head and prepared to use the same method to trick Jiang Yu.
