Chapter 291 You'd better give up on this idea (more)
Uncle Gu fell into reminiscence: "After we finished dinner that day, the old Valley Master said he wanted to see the pulse cases in the clinic. I went to prepare tea for him, but when I brought the tea over, the old Valley Master was gone! I checked the time, it was probably around the hour of Xu! I was out for less than a quarter of an hour to serve tea, and the doors and windows were all closed, just like when I left. It was as if the old Valley Master had suddenly vanished!"
It would be a lie for Uncle Gu to say he wasn't afraid. Anyone would be scared if a living person suddenly disappeared.
This suddenly reminded him of when they first arrived in Liangzhou and the shop assistant talked about the missing children case in Yong County.
I heard that those children also disappeared suddenly in this way, and we couldn’t even see what the thief looked like.
He has used up all the forces that the Divine Doctor Valley can use in Liangzhou.
Everyone has gone out to look for clues. He also wants to go, but he is afraid that no one will be there when Duan Yu and the others arrive.
I can only hold my temper and wait here for news.
After hearing what Uncle Gu said, Xia Xing'er was sure that the person who kidnapped the old Valley Master must be from Ghost Gate.
But I just don’t know why this person from Ghost Gate wanted to kidnap the old Valley Master.
If they wanted to force her to show up, they should have kidnapped the people around her.
Although the old valley master is Duan Yu's father, he really doesn't know him.
Xia Xing'er soon realized that the people from Ghost Gate didn't know who she was, let alone who was around her.
Maybe he expected that she would take care of this matter. After all, the old master of the Divine Doctor Valley was a man of great righteousness. If something happened to him, he would definitely not stand idly by.
As for why they didn't take Uncle Gu with them, it might be because they felt that Uncle Gu was not of much value, or they let him stay to pass on the message to them.
Xia Xing'er nodded to Uncle Gu and said, "Uncle Gu, we all know what you said. You should go to bed early. Leave the rest to me!"
She turned around and saw Duan Yu and Xiaojiu standing there worried. "Brother Duan, you and Xiaojiu should just take Uncle Gu back to Shitou Village. Leave the search for the old Valley Master to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely find him and bring him back to you."
Originally, she wanted Uncle Gu to stay in the clinic, but then she thought that the clinic was not as safe as Stone Village, so she wanted Duan Yu and the others to take the person back directly.
Duan Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Junior Sister, no, I can't let you face danger alone, I want to be with you."
Xiaojiu also looked at her with a worried look on his face: "Miss Xia, the young master and I are men after all. How could we hide behind you and ask you to protect us when something happens?"
Although they knew very well that Xia Xing'er was much stronger than them, it could not change the fact that she was also a girl.
Xia Xing'er stared at Duan Yu in a daze without saying a word.
Duan Yu finally gave in under Xia Xing'er's gaze, but he couldn't help but ask, "Are you absolutely sure?"
He is actually very conflicted now. On the one hand, he wants Xia Xing'er to rescue his father, but on the other hand, he is afraid of being in danger by saving his father.
Originally, it was his job as a son to save his father, but now he was actually placing his hopes on a weak woman like Xia Xing'er.
He is really ashamed!
Xia Xing'er: Do you have any misunderstanding about weak women? Do you think I look like a weak woman?
Is there any weak woman as capable of fighting as I am?
Xia Xing'er knew that Duan Yu also cared about her and wanted to save his father, so she gave him a very affirmative answer.
"have!"
Even if she really couldn't beat them, she had many ways to save her life.
I was about to go to hell, but now they come to my door, how can I let them go?
She also wanted to hear news about her master, uncle and sister from the people in Ghost Gate.
So this trip might not be as bad as they expected!
Duan Yu looked at Xia Xing'er and smiled: "Okay, since Junior Sister said so, then I believe it!"
"We will be in Stone Village for three days at most. If you don't come back after three days, I will find you even if it costs me my life!"
Duan Yu knew that if they insisted on following Xia Xing'er, they might not be able to help her and might even become a burden to her.
She is his recognized junior sister, a junior sister who is like his own biological sister!
No, I should say she is my junior sister who is closer to me than my own sister!
He looked at Xia Xing'er with a smile on his face, knowing that at this moment, they could only compromise and could do nothing else.
After Duan Yu and Xiaojiu took Uncle Gu away, Xia Xing'er began to look for clues in the clinic about why the old Valley Master was taken away.
She believed that since the other party was coming for her, as the saying goes, you have to cast a long line to catch a big fish, so the other party must have left clues.
But they may be disappointed, because sometimes what you catch may not be fish.
To be more precise, it’s hard to say who is the fish?
Xia Xing'er carefully inspected the entire clinic.
From the front yard to the back yard, not even the dust on the corner of the table was spared.
Finally, the clue was found in front of a blank wall in the backyard of the house where the old valley master disappeared.
She bent her knees and squatted, her fingertips picking up the burnt ashes on the ground. Her eyes turned cold and fixed on the wall in front of her.
After looking at it for a moment, she flicked her white fingers and a slight sound escaped from the corner of her lips. Suddenly, several lines of dark red words appeared on the originally blank wall.
As expected, it was Guimen who did it.
Xia Xing'er waved her hand lightly, and the words on the wall disappeared in an instant like dispersing smoke.
Her figure was like a phantom, and the moment she stepped out of the room, she disappeared in the clinic.
In the stone cave where the old man in black robe died, blood was dripping down.
The gray-haired middle-aged man was covered in blood and was nailed to the stone wall with a sharp weapon.
His face was as pale as paper. If it weren't for his slightly open eyes, one would have thought he was dead.
"Give up on this idea. I will never tell you even if I die!"
His voice was calm, as if he was ready to die at any time.
His moon-white shirt had been dyed crimson, and it could be said that there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body.
Standing in front of him were Zhu Fei and his four men. They had heard that something unusual had happened in Yong County, Liangzhou a few days ago, so they came here.
But they don’t know that this is the place where the old man in black robe died.
He was originally investigating the cause of his father's death, but unexpectedly caught a few fish that had escaped earlier.
A few months ago, a resurrection elixir appeared at the auction of the Treasure Pavilion, but they were too late and it was bought by someone else.
After investigating from all sides, they finally set their sights on Feng Qingyang, the head of Wuji Sect, and his eldest disciple Ye Yichen.
