Seeing that Ning Jing seemed to like the food here very much, Xu Fuyi began to flatter her again, "Jing Jing, if you like it, I can often accompany you to eat here in the future. After all, it's our family's store, and we don't need spirit stones."
Nalan Jingyue, who was drinking tea on the side: ...
Su Yao was also enjoying her meal, while Nalan Jingyue secretly memorized which dishes she liked.
He has never been interested in these foods, but seeing Su Yao eating so happily, he couldn't help but pick up a piece of meat and taste it. Well, it's not bad, it seems to be better than before.
After the four of them finished their meal, they sat around the table and drank tea. Just as they were about to continue talking about the situation in Feiyan City, they didn't expect the door to be knocked again.
Nalan Jingyue spoke again indifferently: "Come in."
As soon as the visitor opened the door, he knelt down in front of Nalan Jingyue with a thud, his face full of excitement: "Master, why didn't you tell me you were coming in advance? I could have prepared a good meal for you in advance."
"Get up. I didn't tell you in advance because I didn't want to cause trouble. Didn't you go to Lingshuang City to discuss things with other managers? What results did you come up with?" Nalan Jinyue asked as he brought the tea to his mouth and took a sip.
From their conversation, Su Yao and the others guessed that this was the Manager Wang they had mentioned before.
Steward Wang stood up respectfully and stood beside Nalan Jingyue, but he was very tactful and did not get too close.
"Master, you're joking. Not long after I arrived, I received a letter from Manager Li saying that you were here. So I hurriedly took the teleportation array to come back." The smile on Manager Wang's face was a little awkward.
"Have you discovered anything during this time?"
"Master, you don't know that recently, many monks living in other restaurants and inns have mysteriously disappeared, causing panic among the people. Many restaurants have also closed down. However, our Tianxiang Tower is different. Fortunately, we have the special defense formation you gave us, so every room is very safe."
Shopkeeper Wang had a proud look on his face.
Nalan Jingyue didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he glanced at him coldly and said, "Get to the point."
Shopkeeper Wang felt a chill down his spine and immediately became serious again: "Master, although our Tianxiang Restaurant has your formation, which can protect many cultivators, but for the sake of safety, I sent people to guard outside other inns. Those who took action were very cautious, and our people watched for half a month before they found some clues.
At that time, our people saw a man in a black robe carrying those monks out. It was too dark and the man was wrapped tightly, so our people could not see his appearance clearly. We could only vaguely see that he was very strong and tall, not at all like the body of ordinary monks.
At that time, our people were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they did not step forward to stop him. They just followed him secretly from a distance until they reached the north gate, and then they lost the man. I guess the man was still in the city, because there were guards guarding the north gate at that time, and it was impossible for him to leave the city overnight.
Anyone who could capture so many monks must have had some formidable means. Afterwards, I quietly sent people to stake out the city, but I didn't find anyone with the same build as that man, so the trail ended there." Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but lament at this point.
Seeing that he had said so much, Nalan Jingyue handed him a cup of tea and then asked, "Are you still being followed by someone?"
Shopkeeper Wang took the tea and said, "Thank you, Master. I still have people keeping an eye on it. However, after the incident became a big deal, many restaurants have gone out of business and few people stay in the hotels anymore, so we haven't found any useful information.
However, later on, monks from several houses were indeed abducted. These houses all had one thing in common: they were very close to the North City Gate! So I guess the man must have been hiding near the North City Gate."
After hearing these words, several people lowered their heads in deep thought.
After a while, Nalan Jingyue spoke again: "Okay, you go down first and help us prepare a few rooms."
But Manager Wang stood there motionless with an embarrassed expression.
"What? Is there anything else?"
"Master...you came too suddenly. There are no other rooms except the one reserved for you." Manager Wang looked a little embarrassed.
Nalan Jingyue thought about it and finally gave up: "One room is enough, you go down first."
After Wang Zhangshi left, Su Yao said calmly: "One room is fine. We have to go into the space to practice anyway."
Nalan Jingyue nodded slightly, and after a while he slowly spoke: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Then what else do you think? Of course we should go to the north gate to capture that man, and then kill him quickly." Ning Jing spoke first.
"That's right, that man is so hateful. I don't know what he wants to do by capturing so many monks." Xu Fuyi said indignantly.
Su Yao was still immersed in her own thoughts.
"What about you? What do you think?" Nalan Jingyue looked at Su Yao.
"I think we'd better be cautious. If we go to the north city gate to look for it, it probably won't be that easy to find. Otherwise, your men wouldn't have spent so much time and still not found any clues. Since that person specifically targets those in the Jindan stage, why don't we lure the snake out of its hole? And then try to catch the turtle in the jar, wouldn't that be even better?" Su Yao had a sly smile on her face.
Nalan Jingyue also laughed: "I thought so too."
"Yaoyao, your idea is great. I'm also in the Golden Core stage. Although I'm in the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, they shouldn't be so picky, right?" Ning Jing's eyes sparkled.
Unexpectedly, Su Yao and Xu Fuyi interrupted her thoughts at the same time: "No, this is too dangerous."
Ning Jing was frightened by their resolute attitude and could only stammer, "Then tell me, who else is more suitable besides me? Among the four of us, I'm the only one who has reached the Golden Core Stage."
"I'll go." Nalan Jingyue put down the teacup in his hand and interrupted their conversation.
Ning Jing's face was full of suspicion: "You want to go? If you go, someone in the late Nascent Soul stage, they won't dare to arrest you, right?"
"Don't forget, I can temporarily use secret methods to suppress my cultivation to the Golden Core stage. In this way, I am the most suitable person to go." Nalan Jingyue had a confident smile on his face at this time.
Su Yao and the other two were convinced by his words. Indeed, among them, Nalan Jingyue was the most suitable one to go. He could hide his strength and fight back when he met that person. He was indeed a suitable candidate.
