Chapter 348 Clues
The island owner must know the Earth Spirit Girl!
Xu Qiuqian's eyes lit up, and he was inexplicably excited.
She had started investigating so long ago but found nothing. Now that she had come to Xiyue Continent, she finally got some useful clues.
However, the island owner's expression changed only for a moment, and he quickly recovered.
"I don't know," he replied.
impossible.
The island owner definitely knows.
"Island Master, please tell me. This is very important information to me. If you don't tell me, I might even be distracted from opening the teleportation array."
This is a blatant threat.
Sure enough, when the island owner heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
Xu Qiuqian knew that what she said would displease the island owner, but there was no other way, she had to know.
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone that you told me. Please tell me the truth, Island Master."
The island owner was a little hesitant when he heard this.
"What is the relationship between the Earth Spirit Girl and you?"
Xu Qiuqian was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, since she made the matter sound so serious, it meant that Tu Lingnu had a close relationship with her. She could say that she and Tu Lingnu were very good friends, but it still lacked a bit of persuasiveness.
She couldn't say it was herself either.
This would put her in danger.
So what should she say...
A light flashed through my mind.
"The Earth Spirit Girl is my sister."
The island owner was stunned: "Your sister? You have a sister?"
"Yes, my sister's name is Zhao Dongyue, but she has been hunted down before. I don't know who wants to kill her. The clue we got is the Earth Spirit Girl, so I hope the island owner can tell me, if my sister dies, how should I explain to my ancestors!"
As Xu Qiuqian spoke, she covered her eyes with her hands, her voice choked.
"Island Master, you don't know that Dongyue almost died several times. Another purpose of my coming to Xiyue Continent this time is to find out who wants to attack my sister. I hope that the island master can tell me the truth because my sister and I are descendants of top formation masters."
She thought to herself that she was sorry for Zhao Dongyue, but since Zhao Dongyue was in Xuanyun Continent, it shouldn’t matter much, right?
The island owner became even more hesitant and showed signs of loosening up.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian continued his efforts.
"Island Master, you don't want the teleportation array to be activated later, right? If those people knew I was coming, they would definitely capture me and force my sister to show up. By then, it would be a small matter if I was captured, but it would be a big matter if the teleportation array could not be activated."
As soon as he finished speaking, the island owner sighed.
"Forget it, if that's the case then I'll tell you." The island owner glanced at Master Shisui.
Shisui Masamune stood up.
"I'll go take a look outside."
After leaving the shop, seeing that the island owner had set up a soundproofing formation, Xu Qiuqian said, "Don't worry, island owner. My defense system... formation has the effect of soundproofing. Just say it directly."
The island owner put down his hand upon hearing this.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this person's identity is not ordinary."
"Why is it unusual?"
"This person is True Lord Wu Ding, who is quite famous in Xiyue Continent. Not long ago, True Lord Wu Ding passed by here, and I overheard that he was entrusted by someone to kill the Earth Spirit Girl of Xuanyun Continent."
Lord Wu Ding?
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
"Does the island master know more information about True Lord Wu Ding?"
"True Lord Wu Ding is a casual cultivator with no fixed place to live. He has some connections with various major forces. His best connection is with the Xu family of Dusheng Island. He often does things for the Xu family. The Xu family is a family with a high reputation in Xiyue Continent.
I didn't tell you because it was actually for your own good. No matter who he works for, he has the Xu family behind him, so how can you compete with him? I just didn't expect that this earth spirit girl is actually your sister!"
The island owner sighed helplessly.
Xu Qiuqian's eyes flickered slightly.
Xu family?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
After a moment's silence, she said, "Island Master, can you tell me about the Xu family?"
The island owner looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"You suspect that the Xu family wants to kill your sister? Why? The Xu family has no reason to kill your sister, right?"
If this is really what the Xu family wants, then he has to be more careful...
"No, but didn't you say that this True Lord Wu Ding has a good relationship with the Xu family? So I want to find out."
"Okay then. The Xu family is on Dusheng Island, which is separated from here by twelve islands. The ancestor of the Xu family is in the Spiritualization Stage and has been in seclusion for many years. The patriarch of the Xu family is named Xu Zhiping, the ancestor's eldest son, who is in the late Nascent Soul Stage. The ancestor's second son, Xu Gao, was killed by a sea beast more than ten years ago. The third son, Xu Jinyan, was the ancestor's favorite son, but I heard that he suddenly disappeared fifty years ago and did not return to the Xu family until twenty years ago..."
Xu Jinyan? For some reason, Xu Qiuqian had an inexplicable feeling when she heard these three words.
I think the third son of the Xu family ancestor should be the original body's father.
In addition, the island owner said that she disappeared fifty years ago and returned to the Xu family twenty years ago, which also matches the plot. She is about twenty-one years old now.
But she did not interrupt the island owner and continued to listen in silence.
If this Xu Jinyan is the original body's father, then the person who wants to kill her is most likely from the Xu family.
As for who it is...
It could be the original father, or it could be the original father’s partner.
After all, her existence means that Xu Jinyan had betrayed his Taoist partner. If his Taoist partner knew about this, there is a high probability that he would send someone to kill her.
This True Lord Wu Ding was probably sent by Chi Tong Pavilion to kill her because they had failed before.
After coming to this conclusion, Xu Qiuqian felt a little troubled.
If that was the case, how would she solve it? Go directly to the Xu family and kill the person who wanted to kill her? But she was still in a weak position. Even with the Void Mall, it would be very difficult to kill that person.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qiuqian decided to find time to visit Xu's house.
"Anyway, you must make sure your sister is careful."
She came to her senses and heard the island owner say this, and nodded and thanked him: "I will."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now."
Xu Qiuqian responded.
Not long after the island owner left, Master Zhishui came over, followed by several monks.
"Is this the descendant of those top formation masters?"
Xu Qiuqian hesitated: "You are..."
"We are medical practitioners. We heard that you have the Taiqing Sutra here. Is that true?"
Several people stared at her with burning eyes.
"Yes, as long as you can afford the spiritual stones."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leading monk took out a storage bag.
"Fifty-five million and five hundred thousand spirit stones, count them."
Xu Qiuqian did not hesitate and redeemed it directly, obtaining 5.55 million points.
So he took out the Taiqing Sutra from the Void Mall.
Those people took it and looked through it.
"It's really the Taiqing Sutra! Look here, here, and here, the content is exactly the same as that in the fragment!" The leading monk was extremely excited, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
