Chapter 182 The Mysterious Man Hiding in the Backyard
There is no reason why the Phoenix Blood Stone, which should have fallen into the hands of the Blood Demon Ancestor, would appear in the hands of the younger generation of the Long family.
The only explanation for this is that this young man from the Long family has some connection with the Blood Demon Ancestor!
This thought flashed through Xie Liuyin's mind, and she immediately suppressed the deep thought in her eyes and did not reveal her emotions.
Xie Liuyin had discovered traces of the Phoenix Blood Stone at an auction before, and now at City Lord Long’s birthday banquet, the Phoenix Blood Stone appeared again.
Xie Liuyin couldn't guess what the mysterious Blood Demon Ancestor wanted to do, but he always felt that he might be planning something dangerous.
But now they were at a banquet with many people around, so Xie Liuyin couldn't tell Princess Luo and the others about this. She could only suppress her speculations for the time being and wait until she returned to discuss it with them.
By the way, this matter also needs to be reported to Qingxiao Sect. Chang Yu happens to be in Zhuilong City right now, so perhaps he can be of help.
With a plan in mind, Xie Liuyin felt more stable.
Everyone was marveling at the phoenix-blood stone dragon statue, and the other guests took the opportunity to speak many flattering words to City Lord Long, praising his good family tradition, and saying that not only was he capable, but his youngsters were also filial and capable.
At the banquet, the Long family also arranged wonderful singing and dancing performances. Just when the atmosphere of the banquet was at its most lively, Xie Liuyin saw someone whispering a few words to the young man of the Long family.
The young man's face changed instantly, and he quickly left the banquet quietly with the servant.
Xie Liuyin saw that the direction they left was the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Nowadays, the owners of the City Lord's Mansion all live in the backyard, and guests are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the backyard at will.
For some reason, Xie Liuyin always felt that the thing that made the young man of the Long family so nervous might be related to the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Later she also noticed that the young man was away for an hour before coming back, and she didn't know what he did during such a long time.
Princess Luo enjoyed the banquet very much. Although Xie Liuyin had something hidden in her mind, there were delicious food on the table and wonderful singing and dancing in front of her, so her expression was still good.
By the end of the banquet, City Lord Long was really bored and got up and left first.
As soon as City Lord Long left, his children and grandchildren immediately became active. Not only did they start to invite people from other forces to drink, the restrained look on their faces also gradually disappeared.
Princess Luo didn't like this kind of socializing very much. In addition, given her status and age, even the most untaught person would not dare to come and drink with her.
Seeing that the noise around them was getting louder and louder and the group of old men were becoming more and more unruly, Princess Luo simply left with Alan and Xie Liuyin.
Anyway, the birthday boy is no longer around, so no one would say anything if they left early.
Su and Ji Ming, who had been watching them, wanted to catch up as soon as they saw what Princess Luo and her companions were doing, and look for a chance to talk to Princess Luo.
But he was still a step too slow and was stopped by other people who wanted to make friends with Su He's family. He was forced to stay at the banquet and drink with these people, thus missing out on such a good opportunity.
Xie Liuyin and the others naturally had no idea what Su and Ji Ming were planning. They found Yunxuan, who was still drinking and eating with a group of people in a separate yard in the backyard.
Seeing that she was having a great time, I said something to her and didn't let her go back with me.
After waiting for them to return to Qinglong Garden, Xie Liuyin closed the gate, pulled Princess Luo and Alan into his room, and threw out a soundproof array disk.
Princess Luo was originally curious about what she was going to do, but when she saw that Chongyu had even taken out the soundproofing array, she immediately realized that what was going to happen next might be unusual.
Princess Luo and Alan's expressions gradually became serious as they waited for Xie Liuyin to tell them her discovery.
The matter of the Phoenix Bloodstone Mine was too complicated. Xie Liuyin told the two of them all his previous experiences and discoveries. Finally, he said, "Although I am not sure about the relationship between the auction house and the Blood Demon Ancestor, just by looking at the Phoenix Bloodstone statue today, I can tell that the young man of the Long family must have had a lot of contact with the Blood Demon Ancestor!"
As Xie Liuyin spoke, Princess Luo and Alan's faces had already turned gloomy.
They didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing when they were just attending a banquet.
"This matter involves the Long family and the Blood Demon Ancestor, and it is no longer something we can interfere with. Senior Brother Chang Yu happens to be in Zhuilong City right now, so I plan to inform Qingxiao Sect about this matter and ask him to help us."
"In addition, I saw the young man from the Long family suddenly go back to the backyard at the banquet today. I guess there is something hidden in his backyard. If we can find out, it may be helpful for the matter of the Phoenix Blood Stone."
Xie Liuyin is not the type of person who likes to hide things from the people around him, and this matter is of great importance, so Xie Liuyin naturally would not hide anything.
Princess Luo and Alan also felt that she was right, but they were not clear about the relationship between the Blood Demon Ancestor and the younger generation of the Long family, so Princess Luo did not dare to approach Chang Yu directly, but first found a suitable excuse to ask Chang Yu to meet.
Xie Liuyin also quickly informed Xianyue of the matter, asking him to pass the news to the leader of Kunshan Sect and to help her inform Chang Yu.
At the same time, Alan also walked out of Qinglong Garden and secretly inquired about the younger generation of the Long family.
It involves a powerful evil cultivator like the Blood Demon Ancestor, and is also related to a special place like the Falling Dragon City.
Xianyue's sleepiness was suddenly scared away by his unlucky disciple. He hurriedly found the leader of Kunshan Sect and explained everything to him.
The leader of Kunshan Sect was worried about not being able to find the trace of the Blood Demon Ancestor. When he heard that the Blood Demon Ancestor might have appeared in Zhuilong City, he suddenly became excited.
He couldn't wait even a moment, and immediately sent a message to his apprentice, asking him to cooperate with Yuxing City to investigate the young man in the Long family who seemed a little strange.
Chang Yu had just left the banquet and had no time to rest when he received news from his master and Princess Luo.
After reading the news from both sides, Chang Yu's expression gradually became serious.
So, when Alan returned to Qinglong Garden with the information he had collected, he happened to meet Chang Yu who came to find Princess Luo.
After the two entered the room, Alan quickly explained what he had learned: "That man's name is Long Yuchun, and he is the great-grandson of City Lord Long. The servants of the City Lord's Mansion said that City Lord Long is now old and has the intention of abdicating, so these young people have been very attentive to City Lord Long recently."
"This Long Yuchun was not very popular with City Lord Long at first, but in the past six months, he seems to have come to his senses. He has done a lot of things well and gradually gained the attention of City Lord Long."
"And most importantly, not long ago, Long Yuchun brought back a mysterious guest from outside, who is still living in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion!"
