Chang Xiaozi looked at Qi Cheng with a puzzled expression. "Why are you telling me all this? You're doubting Xiaolan, so you're also doubting me?"
Qi Cheng nodded, then shook his head. "Just now, I did doubt you. But what you just said was true."
"How do you know?"
Qi Cheng took out the Zhongli Jade Pendant. "This treasure allows you to tell the truth. If you lie, you will be retaliated against!"
"You think I will believe..."
Chang Xiaozi only said half of what she wanted to say.
I felt a force that did not belong to me enveloping me.
Compared with this power, my own strength is no different from paper.
Chang Xiaozi swallowed back her words and said solemnly, "I believe you!"
As soon as these three words came out of my mouth, the fear in my heart disappeared.
"This thing is so scary!"
Qi Cheng nodded.
Since coming into contact with the "qi" of the sea, the power of the Zhongli jade pendant has increased a lot.
The previous Zhongli jade pendant was like a mobile phone that was running out of battery.
Only simple operations can be performed.
Now that the phone has power, the effect is naturally different.
During this period, whenever Qi Cheng had free time, he would explore the abilities of the Zhongli Jade Pendant.
The effect is not significant.
But the ability to prevent lying is strengthened.
There was a hint of fear in Chang Xiaozi's eyes when she looked at Qi Cheng.
This kind of look has never appeared in our previous interactions.
"I once asked Number Two, 'Did she write that invitation?' I held the Zhongli Jade Pendant and asked her, 'Yes,' she replied."
"But I just asked the original owner of the invitation and learned that this invitation was written by the other party!"
"The invitation was brought by Chang Xiaolan!"
Qi Cheng looked at Chang Xiaozi with interest.
"How is your relationship with Chang Xiaolan?"
"Average! In a sense, very poor!"
"Why?"
Chang Xiaozi rolled her eyes at him. "She likes to play tricks on people when she does things. No one knows what she's thinking until the very last step!"
"When I do things, I like to be straightforward and don't like to use my brain!"
oh!
The difference between a scheming woman and a tiger girl!
No wonder!
This is a natural enemy.
Chang Xiaozi looked at Qi Cheng helplessly. "Do you doubt Xiao Lan?"
It wasn't suspicion! It was certainty. ... Qi Cheng shook his head. "No, Xiao Lan has always been good to me, and I trust her."
"real?"
"real!"
Looking at Qi Cheng's determined eyes, Chang Xiaozi nodded. "Although Xiaolan is a bit scheming, she never does bad things!"
"Regarding Number Two, Jiang Yulu... I'm not quite sure! At that time, I was trying my best to suppress my strength."
"I only found out about the invitation letter after I came here!"
Qi Cheng nodded. "Let's go! Let's go sit over there first. Everything will eventually come to light!"
"Um!"
The two of them walked slowly towards the small valley.
This time, neither of them was fast.
Qi Cheng needs time to digest what he has gained this time.
Chang Xiaozi didn't have so many thoughts.
Since Qi Cheng walks slowly, she should walk slowly too!
There is no need for any reason or excuse, it just happens naturally.
It seemed like she was supposed to do this.
Arrived at the cabin.
Huang Lingling still hasn't come back, but the big yellow one has.
The dog was holding a pheasant in its mouth.
After Qi Cheng came back, he carefully placed the pheasant in front of Qi Cheng.
Leave obediently.
"What a dog that understands people!"
Chang Xiaozhuan reached out and wanted to try it out.
Dahuang turned around and dodged, then stared at Chang Xiaozi with bared teeth.
The latter had no choice but to give up this unrealistic idea.
Qi Cheng saw this scene and smiled faintly.
Put today's events behind you.
Before I met Huang Lingling's master.
Qi Cheng didn't plan to think about it anymore.
As for Chang Xiaolan, the current clues point to her and No. 2.
But Qi Cheng was unwilling to believe that there was something wrong with Chang Xiaolan.
There must be something here that he doesn't know.
But it is not advisable to jump to conclusions about these things without more evidence.
It's unfair to anyone.
When the sun had completely set, Huang Lingling still hadn't returned.
Chang Xiaozi asked curiously, "Qi Cheng, is the junior sister you mentioned lost?"
Qi Cheng recalled Huang Lingling's appearance.
Then, start divination.
After separating from him, Huang Lingling has been looking for her master.
But until now, it has not been found.
Now, on the way back.
"It's okay! She'll be back soon."
Half an hour later, Huang Lingling came back with a very ugly look on her face.
"Damn Master, where did you go?"
"Brother Idol, I don't know where my master is. I'll cook whatever you want. My cooking is delicious..."
Huang Lingling pushed open the door of the wooden house and saw Qi Cheng and Chang Xiaozi.
The purple long dress, slender figure and arrogant temperament instantly made Huang Lingling feel threatened and pressured.
He swallowed the words in his mouth.
"Brother! Who is this??"
"Chang Xiaozi, Baoneng S-level employee."
"Oh, a female subordinate..."
Now, Qi Cheng is the chairman of Baoneng, and Chang Xiaozi is the regional general manager of the central region.
Starting from Baoneng's position, Chang Xiaozi is Qi Cheng's subordinate.
However, female subordinates are female subordinates. Why do you drag the ending of your tone so long?
Chang Xiaozi turned around and looked at Huang Lingling.
She has an average figure and looks, and apart from being cute, she has no other good points.
Hu Niu then turned her head away, with a cold attitude that said, "Your level is too low, I don't bother to compare with you!"
As we all know, women are masters at controlling "hostility".
Often, you only need a small glance or a gesture to know whether the other person is on the same page as you.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Huang Lingling spoke first and made a cute expression.
When you say sister, the implication is that you are old.
As for "Hello beautiful", it is no different from "Hello".
Because there was no envy or appreciation on Huang Lingling's face.
"You're not bad either. When you mature a little more, you'll be as beautiful as me!"
Qi Cheng glanced sideways at Chang Xiaozi.
This Hu Niu’s level of fighting is not low!
What this sentence means is: You are too young, no man will like you, and you are not pretty enough now!
Qi Cheng lowered his head and smiled lightly.
He was not prepared to participate in a fight between women.
Whoever participates is a fool!
As for why the fight?
That has nothing to do with him.
Huang Lingling gritted her teeth and didn't continue to pester him.
"Brother Idol! What do you want to eat? We may be short of other things in this mountain, but we have plenty of game. I saw Da Huang caught a pheasant. How about that?"
"Woof!"
Qi Cheng was speechless, but Da Huang called out first.
It’s good to eat pheasant!
Chicken is much more delicious than dog meat.
Just eat this. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get more!
Qi Cheng glanced at Da Huang outside the door.
This dog is really smart.
“Just eat this!”
On the side, Chang Xiaozi said, "You are a cultivator. Eating a chicken alone is not enough. Why don't you go back to the hotel? We can get back in half an hour. Anyway, we haven't seen the person we wanted to see!"
Qi Cheng nodded.
The reason why he was waiting here was actually because he wanted to meet his fellow from Lingmen.
But now, the other party probably won’t be able to come back.
There's no point in staying any longer.
"Idol Brother, are you leaving?"
Huang Lingling was obviously reluctant, and sadness was written all over her pretty face.
Qi Cheng smiled and said, "Isn't the Taoist Ceremony the day after tomorrow? I will come to visit you again then!"
"It's really late today!"
"I hope that one day, I can eat a meal of fresh dog meat!"
Da Huang: “…Woo!!”
Chang Xiaozi chuckled, glanced sideways at Dahuang, and made a face.
Huang Lingling still wanted to keep him, but for a moment, she couldn't find any other excuse.
I can only let Qi Cheng leave.
After leaving the mountain valley, Chang Xiaozi smiled and said to Qi Cheng, "You are such a dog! Do you really want to bully a dog like that?"
"Really? I really want to eat it."
That dog is not normal!
Qi Cheng did not say this.
Huang Lingling and Dahuang, this person and the dog, it seems that Huang Lingling is the little master.
In fact, that dog is not simple.
There is "qi" on its body.
In terms of richness, it even surpasses Huang Lingling.
This is why it can chase the leader of the formation sect.
This kind of dog was the first time Qi Cheng had seen one.
In a sense, it is already a monster.
It’s just that it can’t transform and can’t speak.
Qi Cheng really wanted to know what kind of person that fellow from Lingmen was.
I can actually raise a dog like this.
Return to the hotel.
Luna and Xiaoshu came over immediately.
"Boss, something big happened!"
"event?"
Qi Cheng frowned. He had just left for a few hours and something big had already happened?
Luna nodded. "Owen, dead!"
Is Owen dead?
Qi Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
This person is the only son of the Immortal Evil Phoenix.
The prince of the Order of the Phoenix.
One of the highest-ranking people in the supernatural circle.
It can be said that as long as the Immortal Evil Phoenix is still alive, Owen, an ordinary person, is one of the well-deserved bigwigs in the supernatural world.
Even if Baoneng comes, we can only provide for it.
Now, this prince is dead!
He died in Dragon Country and in Longhu Mountain.
This... is just too much of a coincidence!
Qi Cheng: "Any clues about the murderer?"
Luna and Xiaoshu shook their heads.
"According to the blonde maid beside Owen, she has been lying in bed sadly since Owen returned."
"She called Owen when it was almost time for dinner!"
"But Owen was already dead by then!"
Qi Cheng asked again: "What about the surveillance?"
Luna: "The surveillance shows that after Owen left our room, he had no contact with anyone else and went straight back to the room!"
Qi Cheng took a deep breath. "So the situation now is that the Order of the Phoenix suspects that we killed Owen!"
"It's the Queen!"
Luna looked at Chang Xiaozi.
"The kick you gave him was reported by that blonde maid!"
Chang Xiaozi sneered. "What a joke! He's just an ordinary person. Why would I bother with so much trouble if I wanted to kill him?"
Luna said anxiously, "But the problem is, there are no other scars on Owen's body except the one from your kick!"
Xiaoshu: "Boss, the Phoenix Society has now proposed to our Baoneng to fight the epidemic, and other supernatural organizations have also threatened to go back!"
"We came here to cooperate, not to die!"
"The Undead Evil Phoenix has also already started flying here."
