"What does her disappearance have to do with me... Wait, who are you saying is missing?"

Halfway through his sentence, Lu Shan suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately became nervous.

Just as the two were tense, there was a knock on the door, and then someone came in.

It was a woman.

Her name is Hong'er.

Lu Shan recognized her; she was Zhang Ling'er's personal maid, with whom she had a very good relationship.

Upon seeing Lu Shan, Hong'er gave a graceful bow and stood up, saying, "Greetings, gentlemen. Young master, my lady sent me to inform you that Miss Jin Yu is with my young lady."

"real?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qitong rushed over instantly, startling the little maid Hong'er with her impulsive behavior.

The little girl nodded timidly and said, "It's absolutely true."

"Then I'll go find her now."

Upon learning that Jiang Jinyu had not gone missing, Feng Qitong breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried, as the illness had not completely subsided. So she prepared to go out and search for her.

At this moment, the little girl glanced timidly at Lu Shan, who nodded and said, "Go ahead and say it, it's alright."

The maid then said, "Miss Jinyu said that she has been away for the past few days, so the gentlemen don't need to worry."

"She's playing with her own life, it's utterly absurd." Feng Qitong, who was always concerned about Jiang Jinyu's safety, was furious upon hearing this.

Lu Shan did not try to dissuade him, after all, Zhou Mu had specifically instructed him before going into seclusion to protect Jiang Jinyu. Now that Jiang Jinyu had gone out to play on her own, it undoubtedly added a great burden to this security work.

However, since Feng Qitong, who was so concerned that he was confused at the moment, had taken the initiative to accept it, why shouldn't he?

...

Outside the Great Wilderness City

Although Jiang Jinyu has a high status, in this small area of ​​the Desolate Heaven Domain, Zhang Ling'er still has more authority. It's no exaggeration to say that her face is her walking identity.

With Zhang Ling'er by her side, Jiang Jinyu avoided a lot of trouble. After going out, she realized she had no money. Luckily, she ran into Zhang Ling'er, otherwise she would have made a wasted trip.

Jiang Jinyu has been playing in the market of Dahuang City for the past few days. There are all kinds of novelties and a dazzling array of goods. Big places have their advantages, and small places have their own wonders.

Compared to the size of the dragon race, the Great Wilderness City is naturally insignificant.

Both women were extremely beautiful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were stunningly beautiful. Even disregarding Zhang Ling'er's status, beauties of this caliber would be absolutely eye-catching anywhere.

A restaurant

Both women were absolute foodies, unable to look away from food. As the two women entered, many other guests also couldn't take their eyes off them.

Those who can dine in this restaurant are either high-ranking officials or extremely wealthy, and for them, beauties of this caliber are a rare sight indeed.

If they hadn't known Zhang Ling'er's identity and hadn't been aware of the Sword God Palace standing behind her, these two would have been in serious trouble.

However, there were still some so-called sanctimonious, greasy men with big bellies who gave the woman disgusting and lewd smiles, put their hands inside her clothes, and then made strange expressions on their faces.

Many of the guests who were slightly closer also moved away, and their eyes showed disdain as they looked at the man.

It was obvious to everyone what dirty things the man was doing. This was probably not the first time for him, and the others were already used to it.

"You're really asking for trouble."

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the man.

He jerked his hand away, which was covered in a thick, milky-white liquid. He looked around in shock. "Who's talking?"

All eyes were on the two women, and no one paid him any attention.

He was pleased that he was hallucinating and was about to continue when a chill suddenly rose up his back. Then, his eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he started to exhale more than he inhale.

The two women naturally didn't notice any of that. They were both extremely well protected, like flowers in a greenhouse, never having experienced any storms.

However, this scene did not escape the eyes of the other guests, who immediately withdrew their gazes. After all, the previous example was right in front of them, and they no longer dared to have any evil thoughts towards those two stunning beauties.

No matter how alluring a beautiful woman is, nothing is more important than life.

At the edge of the restaurant, there was a man who was quietly drinking and eating. Even though someone died next to him, and everyone else glanced at him with some surprise, he just kept staring at the food and wine in front of him.

After finishing a bite of meat, take a sip of wine.

The food here is not cheap; the cheapest meal costs about the same as an average person's living expenses for a year or several years.

After finishing all the dishes on the table, he kept drinking. When his face was slightly tipsy, he put down his wine and looked out the window, but he didn't get up. So much so that the waiter came over. Seeing this, he smiled to himself and turned to leave.

"Where should we go to play later..."

“I have a good place for you, come with me.”

As the two women passed by, a captivating fragrance wafted over them. The man sniffed, then picked up the sword sheath lying to the side, got up, and followed them.

"Sir, you haven't paid your bill yet."

The waiter rushed over and stopped the man.

Cheng Jian remained expressionless. He reached into his sleeve and rummaged around for a while before finally pulling out a few copper coins, which he handed to the waiter. The waiter glanced at them and sneered. He was always arrogant, and his years of dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles had instilled in him a certain arrogance.

But upon seeing that the man before him was penniless, the waiter immediately said with a mocking expression, "Brother, this little bit of money isn't even enough for the sip of wine you just had..."

Seeing that Cheng Jian could no longer produce any money, the waiter's expression instantly changed. "You dare to come here and eat for free? You're asking for death... Guards!"

Before the waiter could finish speaking, he felt a flash of light, followed by a head falling to the ground, blood gushing from the neck.

"hiss!"

Many guests who had been drawn to the dispute quickly turned their attention away, abandoning their desire to watch the spectacle, lest they become part of the spectacle themselves.

The restaurant guards who followed did not dare to make a move.

Most of the furniture was tables, which limited their space.

"Let him go."

Upon seeing this scene, the shopkeeper smiled grimly and said, "We apologize for disturbing you, sir. We have been taken advantage of this time. We hope you will not come again in the future. Consider this our treat."

The innkeeper, being a sensible man, knew that his small group was no match for the other person, so he immediately backed down to avoid causing a bigger commotion and disturbing the other diners.
