Chapter 115 The Woman in Black

Robe If Su Su hadn’t said it, Ji Qingling would have forgotten that he had boasted like this before.

"Susu, are you on patrol?"

"Yes, I just went on patrol outside the city with my uncles."

"So this market is within the territory of Ancient Sword Sect? I didn't even notice it when I was rushing through the rain yesterday. And you guys are patrolling outside the city?"

"We don't patrol outside the city. We're out looking for someone."

It turned out that what Susu and the others were looking for was the incident that Ji Qingling had heard about. After their investigation, they found that at least five children had disappeared in this market in the past month.

Most of the little beggars in the market town would gather together. This brother and sister were the children left behind by a pair of foundation-building monks two years ago.

The couple of wandering cultivators once followed others out of the city to hunt monsters, and then no one saw them again. They must have met with an accident.

Leaving behind a pair of children will make them orphans, which is a very common situation, so there are only a few casual cultivators who give birth to children, for fear of encountering this problem.

Because several children disappeared one after another, and these were children whose spiritual roots could just be detected, this attracted great attention.

Su Su invited Ji Qingling to the Ancient Sword Sect. Ji Yuanjie was also in the sect, and both of them had entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

As soon as they walked out of the teahouse, a figure rushed towards Susu, and Ji Qingling waved his palm to push the man back.

The man was knocked to the side. He was a teenager in his teens. Ji Qingling withdrew his hand.

He crawled to Su Su's feet in a few steps and grabbed her feet, "Senior, help!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Susu was injured and wanted to kick him away.

He had already let go of his hands and knelt in front of Su Su.

"Senior, please save my sister."

Ji Qingling frowned, "Speak properly, what's the matter?"

Su Su also shouted: "Talk nicely, and why did you come to me?"

The young man kowtowed on the ground and said, "I am Li Dafan. I went to the patrol team to ask for help. My sister Li Xiaosi was kidnapped. The reason I came to find you was because I saw you were in the patrol team returning to the city."

When Su Su heard that it was him, she softened her tone, "Then why are you stopping me? The patrol team has already looked for your sister, but they didn't find any trace of her. Maybe some cultivator noticed that she had spiritual roots and took her away."

Li Taifan hurriedly shook his head, "No, my sister will never go with anyone else. We have already agreed that when Ancient Sword Sect recruits disciples in a few years, I will send her to Ancient Sword Sect. She will never go with anyone else."

"Did you see her being abducted?"

Li Dafan looked a little confused, "I don't know."

Ji Qingling was puzzled. "What do you mean you don't know? If you see it, you see it. If you don't see it, you don't see it."

Li Dafan started crying, "I really don't know, when Xiao Si disappeared, I felt like I saw her, but it was blurry, and when I saw her leaving, she smiled and waved at me.

There was a woman in a black robe in front of her, and then she took the woman's hand and left.

I felt like I was dreaming, and I tried hard to wake myself up, but I just couldn't. I gradually fell asleep, and when I woke up, Xiaosi was gone.

Ji Qingling and Su Su exchanged a glance. Illusion? Su Su looked at Li Dafan and said, "When you came to the patrol team, did you tell my disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect about this?"

Li Dafan began to nod and shake his head, "I told him about this to a patrol team senior I met at the beginning, but he said that my sister left with other monks, and they didn't care about it, so they kicked me out.

I had no choice but to hide outside, and when he was gone, I ran in to find another senior. This time, I only dared to say that my sister had been kidnapped. "

"Then why are you telling me now?"

Li Dafan's head banged against the ground. "I saw a patrol team leave the city. I thought you could find Xiao Si, but you didn't bring anyone else with you when you came back. I'm afraid something has happened to Xiao Si. Please, senior, go and save my sister!"

Su Su sighed, "What you said later about several children disappearing, was that false?"

"That's true. Recently, several children who are about the same age as Xiao Si have disappeared. However, those who are about my age and don't have spiritual roots are all fine."

Su Su said to Ji Qingling, "My uncle asked the people around and found out that a few children are missing. Two teams have searched inside and outside the city in the rain today, but there are really no clues."

When Li Dafan heard this, he cried even louder, "That woman in black robe must have secretly taken Xiao Si away. Da Liu and the others said they had dreamed of that woman in black robe before!"

"Who is Da Liu?"

"Da Liu is just like us, an orphan without parents. He also has no spiritual roots."

Ji Qingling shook his head slightly to stop Susu from asking any more questions. This matter was very strange.

"Why don't we take him to the patrol and let your uncle make the decision."

"good!"

The leader of the patrol team was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. After listening to Li Dafan's description, he ordered someone to find Da Liu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Da Liu is a little fat boy with a round head and looks two years older than Li Dafan.

According to the child's confession, a woman in black robe did appear several times, and each time it seemed like a dream.

This seems to be a hallucination without a doubt, and the children who were taken away by the hallucination may all have spiritual roots.

"Liu Jing! Go to the inner gate and report to the Deacon Hall, and ask them to send two more teams."

"Yes, Uncle Song!"

"Everyone, divide into two teams and continue searching inside and outside the city. This time, pay special attention to the female cultivators with suspicious identities."

"yes!"

Ji Qingling thought that he could also contribute, "Fellow Daoist Song."

Uncle Song turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Su quickly took over the conversation, "Uncle Song, this is Ji Qingling, the direct disciple of the Yuanying elder of Taiyi Sect. She is a sister of my clan. She passed by Gujian Sect and stopped by to visit."

Uncle Song clasped his fists towards Ji Qingling and said, "Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Ji. I wonder which Daoist Master Ji Daoist learned from?"

Ji Qingling returned the greeting, "My master, Taoist Chongtai."

"So you are the disciple of Chongtai Daojun. I am Song Jixiu. My master Shen Daojun is also familiar with Chongtai Daojun. Why did you come to Ancient Sword Sect this time?"

Ji Qingling felt that her master really had friends all over the world and he could run into acquaintances wherever he went. Seeing how polite they were, she thought that his status as a direct disciple really gave him a lot of conveniences.

She naturally wouldn't say that it was just a coincidence that it was raining so hard. "I was traveling and passed by here and came to see my sister. Can I follow my sister to look for someone?"

"It would be great if Junior Sister Ji is willing to help. Then Junior Sister Ji can join Junior Brother Ji Xuansu's team."

Song Jixiu summoned all the disciples in the market town. "I will lead the first team to take care of the inner part of the city, and Senior Brother Wang will lead the second team to take care of the outer part of the city. The other party is used to using illusions, so everyone should be alert. If you see anyone suspicious, you must approach them and ask their identity clearly."

"yes!"
