I completed the trivial tasks for seven consecutive days.
On the third day, Li Jiaojiao and Fu Yingxue reconciled, and the two of them chatted hand in hand again. The other three men naturally did not care about the previous trivial matters, and soon became friends again.
Except Yun Zheng.
To be honest, Yun Zheng didn't want to fit in because there was no need to put herself in a difficult position.
Yun Zheng concentrates on completing tasks, and spends the rest of her time practicing or chatting with Dajuan, Erbai and Sanfeng.
Life is pretty happy.
But in Li Jiaojiao's eyes, she felt that Yun Zheng deserved to be so lonely, and at the same time, a sense of superiority surged in her heart.
If Yun Zheng knew her mental journey, she would probably be speechless.
He wasn't an important person to begin with, was it worth it for her to be lonely?!
joke.
When doing the mission, Yun Zheng did not show any strength. After all, they were just small missions and six people were more than enough.
Before I knew it, two more days had passed.
Finally we arrived at Minghua City, a town at the foot of Beiqi Mountain.
Although it is a small town, it belongs to the great country of Zhongli, so the concentration of spiritual energy and the buildings are much better than those in the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom.
However, Minghua City now looks a bit more desolate.
There were many wandering cultivators on the street, but most of them had thin faces, swollen and black eyes, and walked with a somewhat unsteady look.
I heard that this is a symptom of evil spirits entering the body.
The main task of Yun Zheng and others this time is to eliminate some evil spirits in Minghua City, extract the evil spirits and put them into the soul-locking bottle, and then bring them back to the Holy Academy to study the reasons.
As she entered the city, Yun Zheng faintly sensed an unpleasant smell, which made her frown.
Others can't smell this smell.
Yun Zheng practiced occult arts, so she was naturally sensitive to such evil spirits.
However, this evil aura seems to be controlled by a rather mysterious force...
Fu Yingxue looked at her sideways and said, "Junior Sister Yun, let's go and book a room at the inn first."
Yun Zheng nodded.
They stayed at an inn in the city called Mingyue Inn.
Each person has a room on the upper floor.
Fu Yingxue said, "I'll go with Zhao Shan to find out what's going on here. You guys can rest in the inn first."
Yun Zheng shook her head and said, "I'll go too."
There was some surprise in the eyes of Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan.
During these days of missions, I have never seen Yun Zheng so proactive.
"Okay." Fu Yingxue and the others had no reason to refuse.
After going downstairs, Fu Yingxue first went to the innkeeper to find out what was going on. "Boss, the evil spirits in Minghua City..."
"Young lady!" the shopkeeper interrupted her immediately, winking and whispering in a fearful tone, "The city lord has ordered that no one in the city should ever mention those two words again, or they will be thrown into the dungeon."
Yun Zheng narrowed her eyes.
Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan looked at each other, somewhat puzzled and more surprised.
The people in the lobby on the first floor of the inn also turned their eyes to the three of them from time to time.
Yun Zheng calmly tugged at Fu Yingxue's sleeve and changed the subject with a smile, "Boss, I want your signature dish. Please have it delivered to my room when I come back."
When the shopkeeper saw such a pretty girl, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He smiled respectfully and said, "Okay, don't worry, the things in my Mingfu Inn are all first-class."
"Thank you, boss." Yun Zheng nodded with a smile.
Only after the three of them left Mingfu Inn did Yun Zheng feel that the uneasy feeling of being watched disappeared.
Fu Yingxue: "Junior Sister Yun, what did you mean just now?"
Zhao Shan also found it difficult to understand.
Yun Zheng raised her eyes and looked at them. "Let's go for a walk first."
The two were confused.
But after walking for a while, a voice came into their minds: "Don't look at me, find a hidden place, and send a message back to the Holy Academy. Minghua City is in danger! The person behind this must be extremely powerful, and we can't deal with it."
Yun Zheng's words reached their ears.
There was a flash of disbelief in their eyes. Although it was hard to believe, they were inexplicably convinced by Junior Sister Yun's words.
Trust her, you won't be wrong.
This is the conclusion they have reached over time.
As we walked, we came to a restaurant and asked for a private room.
Fu Yingxue expanded her mental power to block others' prying eyes.
Then, she used her identity token to send a message back to the Holy Academy, but it failed!
"I can't send a message!" Fu Yingxue said in surprise.
"Let me try." Zhao Shan's face was serious, and he took out his identity token to call for help, but there was still no response.
Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan immediately looked at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, shook her head, and said regretfully, "I've tried it before, but I didn't expect you guys couldn't do it either."
Fu Yingxue asked worriedly, "What's going on?"
Yun Zheng: "The moment we stepped into Minghua City, we were effectively included within its boundaries. Communications and the like were useless."
Zhao Shan: "Is this the work of an evil spirit?"
"I'm not sure yet." Yun Zheng shook her head. "We probably can't get out now."
Zhao Shan frowned. "Then...what's going on with the people in Minghua City? Why can't we mention evil spirits?"
Yun Zheng: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the city lord. The small town at the foot of Beiqi Mountain has been affected and has become like this. And what about the people in Beiqi Mountain..."
The situation of Feng Xinglan, Mo Jing and others is probably not very good either.
Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan were even more worried and fearful.
Yun Zheng tapped the tabletop with her fingers, making a 'dong dong' sound. Suddenly, she turned to look at Zhao Shan. "Brother Zhao, do you know what kind of person the Lord of Minghua City is?"
Zhao Shan racked his brains for a moment, "I heard he's a Spiritual Master over a hundred years old, and he doesn't charge an entrance fee, so he should be a decent person."
"We have to start with the mayor of Minghua City. He doesn't allow us to mention evil spirits. There must be a reason." Yun Zheng said, his eyes slightly cold.
Fu Yingxue asked tentatively, "Shall we go now?"
"No, it's too rash to go now. We don't know anything right now, and it would be easy for the city lord to catch us if we go now."
"Junior Sister Yun is right."
"Let's take another look at the situation."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the waiter from the restaurant came and served the dishes.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal." The waiter greeted warmly.
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Yun Zheng called him.
"Wait a moment."
The waiter smiled broadly, "Sir, is there anything else you can do for me?"
Yun Zheng smiled and asked, "Does your city lord have any sons or daughters?"
The waiter was obviously stunned.
Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan were also stunned, and they looked at each other in confusion.
The waiter, who had reacted, grinned, "The city lord is still unmarried. Our city lord is unrivaled in beauty, unparalleled in the world. Are you interested in our city lord?"
Fu Yingxue: "..." Is "unparalleled handsomeness" used to describe a man over a hundred years old?!
Zhao Shan: “…” Blind worship, huh?! He actually said that Junior Sister has taken a fancy to him!
