Cangyun City is indeed quite close to Qingyun City. Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao flew on their swords and arrived here in just half an hour.
As soon as they stepped into Cangyun City, they keenly noticed that the people around them were filled with a panic atmosphere.
The uneasy feeling was like invisible smoke, slowly floating in the air.
"Oh, I heard that Liu Erniu's daughter is getting married in three days. Why is she getting married at this critical moment? Liu Erniu must really want to let his daughter go, and he's not afraid that she will disappear like the rumors say!"
A woman standing by the vegetable stall said with a worried look on her face. Her voice was slightly hoarse and full of worry.
"They say they disappeared, but in reality, they're just dead and their bodies are nowhere to be found. They say they disappeared just to leave a memory for the bride's family."
Another person took over the conversation, his tone full of helplessness, his eyes dim, as if he saw those unfortunate fates.
"Haha, isn't it because the other family offered a high bride price? Liu Erniu is just trying to take a gamble for the money. Think about it, what's Liu Erniu's family situation like?!"
A middle-aged man shook his head with a hint of disdain on his face and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Oh, that's right. His son is looking to get married, but he can't even afford the bride price. No woman is willing to be with him. Just for his son, he puts his daughter in danger. Tsk tsk tsk, he's such an incompetent father..."
An old man sighed, his weather-beaten face full of emotion.
"Who says it's not true? It's just that the world is unfair. A woman can only find a good family to marry into. That's her best destiny. She can only rely on her son for support in her old age."
A young woman frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, her voice was crisp, but with deep helplessness.
"Oh, I sympathize with Liu Erniu. If I were to make a choice, I would make the same choice. After all, my son is the most important."
A man echoed, as if lamenting the reality and agreeing with Liu Erniu's approach.
"If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Erniu's daughter for not being a boy..." another person sighed, his tone full of regret.
Just then, a few passers-by came over from a distance and joined the discussion.
"Are you talking about Liu Erniu's daughter? It's really not a good time to get married these days. I also heard that brides have been disappearing one after another. It's so scary."
A young man in coarse clothes looked terrified.
"Who knows? Maybe he was captured by some monster." Another person guessed, his voice trembling slightly.
"I don't think so. Why would a monster target married women? I think it might be some evil person doing this." An old man stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.
"No matter what, girls are not allowed. Fortunately, only girls are caught. Fortunately, my family is full of boys, so I won't be the one to suffer any bad things." A woman began to show off for no apparent reason.
"It's not good to have too many boys. Do you have enough dowries to marry your sons off?" Another woman couldn't stand her arrogance.
"I'm happy even if I can't afford it. I have a son, unlike you..."
Then they started arguing for no apparent reason, talking nonsense, and the topic became increasingly off-topic...
As cultivators, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao had excellent hearing, so they naturally heard the people gossiping at the nearby vegetable stall.
They originally heard this as a clue related to the mission, so they listened for a while longer, but they didn't expect it to become more and more irritating the more they listened.
Especially Gu Qingze, as a person who has received modern education, he is really unable to accept their extremely feudal ideas.
Chu Lingxiao thought it was just an ordinary conversation, but even so, he felt very uncomfortable. He shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
