Chapter 180: Searching for People (7)
The man walked out slowly and happened to meet his companion. He smiled and greeted him, "Junior Brother Xisuo, why are you here at this time?"
Zhou Xisuo looked at him covered in blood, frowned with some disgust and said, "We caught some people."
Following his words, he naturally looked over and saw a few unfamiliar faces. He asked in a low voice: "Junior brother, why were these people arrested?"
"Brother, this is not your business." Zhou Xisuo's tone was cold.
He didn't ask any more questions, smiled, bowed, and walked out.
After settling those people, Xu Zhiruo whispered, "He is highly valued by the higher-ups. Why do you have such an attitude?"
"He's just a smooth talker with very little ability. I don't like him."
Xu Zhiruo sighed, changed the subject, and said, "I heard that one of your cousins is getting married?"
"Yes, from the master's side."
"Aren't you going over?"
Zhou Xisuo frowned and said, "I come from a side branch and am not taken seriously, so there is no need for me to go."
Xu Zhiruo was helpless and tried to persuade Zhou Xisuo a few more times, but Zhou Xisuo remained indifferent, so he stopped talking.
After going down the mountain, the two of them walked separately.
As luck would have it, Xu Zhiruo ran into the same senior brother he had met before and said, "Hello, Senior Brother He."
Senior Brother He smiled and nodded, saying, "Zhiruo, why are you alone?"
"Xisuo has something to do, so he's leaving first."
"I see."
Xu Zhiruo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xisuo has always had a bad temper, please don't blame me, Senior Brother."
Senior Brother He waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's not true. Xisuo is one of the few cultivators in the hall, so it's normal for him to be a little proud."
Hearing this, he wanted to open his mouth to explain a few more words, but Senior Brother He sighed and continued, "In the entire world of immortal cultivation, only the physical cultivators of Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall are the most successful. But now that the rules have changed and Dao cultivators have also arrived, where is the future for us physical cultivators?"
Xu Zhiruo was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "Brother He, whatever you say is true. The Young Sect Master will arrange everything."
Senior Brother He looked at him, shook his head, and said meaningfully, "Who in the Punishment Hall who has some power right now isn't a Daoist cultivator? Even if they're not very powerful, they still have Daoists backing them up. Isn't that why you're on good terms with Xi Suo?"
His expression changed, and he said, "Senior Brother He, please be careful with your words! Xisuo and I have known each other since childhood."
"Well, I was overthinking it." Senior Brother He paused, then smiled and said, "The deacon has something to ask me, so I'll leave first."
"Take care, senior brother."
Xu Zhiruo watched him gradually go away, but couldn't help but shout, "Senior Brother!"
Senior Brother He turned around and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"The people we captured today were ordered by the Young Sect Master to be found. I heard they were related to Wu Yue who was imprisoned in the cell. They are his subordinates."
Senior Brother He nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
"No need. This isn't a secret. You'll find out if you ask around. Xisuo isn't in a good mood today. I'm sorry."
"Nothing, goodbye."
Senior Brother He did not go to the deacon as he said, but returned to his residence. His fellow junior brother who lived with him was already asleep.
He lit a stick of incense, and his fellow apprentice slept more soundly.
Not long after, the mirror suddenly lit up. He walked over and dropped a drop of blood, and the blood dyed a line of words red: Save people, keep still.
He wiped the blood away, his expression uncertain.
Liu Yue, who passed the news, was sitting quietly in front of the mirror with a cold expression. She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have ignored her senior sister's words and contacted Wu Yue, which led to Wu Yue forcibly breaking out and being arrested.
The person sent was too smart. Based on those words, he might have guessed the true identity of the senior sister. Should he be killed?
She looked at herself in the mirror and whispered, "Tell the others who go in to keep an eye on him. If anything goes wrong, clean it up at all costs and don't give him a chance to speak."
"Yes." The maid behind her retreated.
"Ayue, come and put on your makeup. I'm going to the city lord's place."
She looked at herself in the mirror and calmed herself down. Since her senior sister was still alive, all plans had to be changed.
After finding the person she was looking for and explaining what needed to be explained, Tao Zi finally calmed down and slowly walked back to the inn.
The waiter yawned as he opened the door for her and said, "Sir, why are you back to rest so late?"
She smiled and mumbled a few words, then went to her room to rest.
The little fox stared at her with dark eyes: "You came back so late at night, can't you let me sleep?"
Tao Zi ignored it and sat aside to practice.
The little fox turned over, covered his eyes with his tail, and muttered, "Practicing in the middle of the night again, don't you cultivators need to sleep?"
She circulated her spiritual energy quietly. There was still a tingling sensation in her spiritual veins, but it was far less severe than before.
Liu Yue and Wu Yue are certainly well-informed, but most of their subordinates are ordinary people or low-level cultivators, and there are probably not many who can fight.
We still have to contact the Punishment Hall. There are some things that only they can do, such as entering more dangerous areas to look for medicinal herbs.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
When it was almost dawn, she closed her eyes and slept for a while.
Xi Jing and the others' voices rang out from outside the door: "Senior Brother Hua, are you saying that Senior Sister hasn't come back?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll go call the little fox to eat, and then go find my senior sister."
Before she opened her eyes, the little fox jumped off the chair and opened the door himself: "She came back in the middle of the night and is still sleeping."
The voices outside suddenly became quieter, but Tao Zi only closed her eyes for a quarter of an hour before getting up.
When they went downstairs, Xi Jing and the others looked happy and smiling.
The little fox jumped out of Xi Jing's arms and ran to her feet.
Xi Jing happily shouted, "Senior Sister!"
Tao Zi picked it up, sat on the chair, and said, "Well, did you find the person?"
Xi Jing nodded vigorously: "Yes, I found it. Sister Huanle changed her name to Xiyu, and now she is the mother of a brothel."
She smiled and said, "No wonder I can't find it."
Han Yueshan was a little unhappy. She asked, "What's wrong with Yueshan?"
Zhao Xue explained, "Sister Huanle is unhappy, and I'm not happy about it."
"Um?"
Han Yueshan whispered, "The man Sister Huanle likes is married and has a child."
Xi Jing sighed and comforted him, "But he doesn't like Sister Huanle in the first place, this is normal."
Zhao Xue also nodded: "Yes, we can't let him marry Sister Huanle just because she likes him, right?"
He took a bite of the bun and said, "I know, but I can't help but feel sorry for Sister Huanle."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, Huanle is someone Yueshan is close to. Now that you've found him, what do you want to do? Or just leave?"
Han Yueshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's leave. Sister Huanle doesn't seem to want to change."
