"What kind of deep hatred does that demon have with Boss Bao that he must kill him?" Su Rui frowned and asked in confusion.
"I don't know! Boss Bao treats us very well on weekdays, but he rarely talks about his personal affairs." The young man shook his head and answered helplessly.
"You should have seen clearly what that demon looks like, right?" Su Rui continued to ask.
"I didn't see it clearly! The monster was wrapped in black mist, and his face was completely invisible. And he was extremely fast. I only saw a black shadow flash by, and I don't remember anything else..." The young man kept shaking his head.
Su Rui was silent for a moment, thinking to himself: This young man knows nothing about anything. It seems that I can't get any useful clues from him. So he asked again: "Have you looked for the City God?"
"The City God...would he care about this kind of thing?"
The young man hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Rui cautiously, as if he was not very sure about his answer.
"Let's give it a try. Maybe the City God will have some information that we don't know."
Su Rui sighed. At this point, he could only try his best to save the situation.
The City God Temple in Qiongzhou City is grand and majestic. Even though it's not a market day, the temple is still bustling with people.
The young man led Su Rui and Chi Jiao through the crowded crowd and arrived at the City God Temple. However, facing the solemn and majestic statue, he suddenly became a little at a loss.
In the end, Su Rui decided to go in person. He didn't bother to figure out who was the City God Temple's priest. He went straight to the City God's statue and called out softly, "Qingcheng disciple Su Qinghe, I beg the City God to appear. I have something important to ask you!"
As a direct disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, he had enough confidence to talk directly with the local City God.
As Su Rui finished speaking, a golden light flashed from the City God statue. Then, Su Rui saw a middle-aged, dark-faced priest who looked about the same as the City God statue walk out from behind it. Several divine lines were faintly visible on his face, and his demeanor was extraordinary and majestic.
"Friend Su, why did you call me out?"
The City God was not only a priest who governed the city, but also a practitioner, though he practiced Shintoism. Therefore, when he addressed Su Rui as "fellow Taoist," it was not disrespectful, but rather showed a certain respect.
"A good friend of mine was murdered by a demon here, so I came to ask you for some advice..."
Su Rui gave a detailed description of the place where the freckled girl practiced cultivation that he had seen today, and then repeated to the City God everything that the young man "Xiao Liu" had seen and heard!
After the City God appeared, the young man stood respectfully behind Su Rui, listening to their conversation with his head bowed, not daring to breathe. Clearly, the Shintoism represented by the City God had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After Su Rui finished recounting the story of "Boss Bao"'s disappearance, the young man immediately fell to his knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and sincerely prayed to the City God, "Please, Lord City God, save Boss Bao!"
