"That kid is doing really well!" Chen Yu sighed. "He now has business dealings with several families in Wuzhou and has a very close relationship with them. He moved to Shenzuo Street and no longer lives with us."
Mu Lingjiu nodded, "Okay."
Chen Yu pulled Mu Lingjiu and said, "Things are different now. Don't trust Lin Zi too much."
"I understand. I'll be careful. I'll come see you again when I'm done."
Mu Lingjiu left behind a thousand spirit stones, which he used to buy a house and hire someone to take care of it. It was enough to live for several decades.
Chen Yu wanted to refuse, but Mu Lingjiu turned around and left the yard, so he didn't want to make loud noises and attract attention.
After leaving, Mu Lingjiu went to Shenzuo Street, put on a veil, and entered the shop.
Uncle Lin's shop specializes in buying and selling information. I should be able to buy information relatively quickly from him, and perhaps I can find out the whereabouts of Yujiao and Feng Yuexian.
She entered the store and began asking questions as if she was familiar with the place.
"Recently, two inner disciples from the Xuanxian Sect entered Wuzhou. I want to know their whereabouts."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Mu Lingjiu and said, "Wait a moment, this news is not cheap."
Soon, the shopkeeper came out of the house with a big smile on his face.
"We don't have this information here. I'm so sorry."
"Don't you have it or don't want to tell me?" Mu Lingjiu asked calmly, "I have the money, but I'm in urgent need of information. I'm sure you all know that my Xuanxian Sect is not to be trifled with. If two inner sect sisters were missing, I'm afraid there would be a thorough investigation."
This was said to scare the other party. The shopkeeper was a little scared when he heard it, and hurriedly smiled to comfort him.
"What you said...we really don't know."
"Go ask your boss whether he still wants to continue this business." Mu Lingjiu said in a firm tone.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to go back and look for the boss.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out with a smile.
"Our boss wants to see you. Please go inside and talk."
Mu Lingjiu followed the shopkeeper to the backstage, where there was a table and a chair. Uncle Lin, the boss, was drinking tea.
He glanced at Mu Lingjiu.
"Miss, we are a small business, how can you threaten me like this? How dare we compete with the big sects? But I really don't know the news."
Mu Lingjiu sneered, "If you really don't know, that's fine. But if I find out you know, the Xuanxian Sect will definitely not let you go. Who do you think can protect you?"
Uncle Lin narrowed his eyes and thought that this girl was a little too arrogant and not easy to fool.
"Look at what you said, is it really that serious? Come sit down and let's talk slowly."
Mu Lingjiu glanced at Uncle Lin with disdain. After so many years, he hadn't changed at all and was still so greasy.
"Just tell me if you know it or not. I'm in a hurry."
"Young people are always hot-tempered. I'll tell you the truth. Someone forbade me to speak. I really can't make the decision on matters above. But I don't want to offend the Xuanxian Sect either. I'll only tell you a place, and you can find it yourself." Uncle Lin paused here. "I won't charge you any money. Once you get the news, leave quickly."
"Okay." Mu Lingjiu agreed without hesitation.
"Misty Forest." Uncle Lin said.
"Thank you." Mu Lingjiu bowed and turned to leave.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?" Uncle Lin didn't expect Mu Lingjiu to believe it so easily.
"If you lie to me, I'll come back and cause trouble for you."
"It's not easy to get in and out of the misty forest." Uncle Lin smiled.
"Don't worry about it." Mu Lingjiu left the house.
Uncle Lin looked at Mu Lingjiu's back, thoughtfully.
"I heard that she went to see Chen Yu before. When did Chen Yu get to know someone from the Xuanxian Sect? Let's check this girl's background."
Mu Lingjiu went directly to the Misty Forest, picked the fog grass at the place marked by the elder of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and then entered the Misty Forest through the gap.
The visibility in the foggy forest is even lower. You can see one thousand meters outside, but you can only see a hundred meters in the foggy forest, which greatly increases the difficulty of combat.
Mu Lingjiu walked cautiously in the forest, relying on his ears to listen to the sounds around him to determine whether there were any monsters.
Most of the monsters in the Misty Forest are accustomed to living in the fog, so it is very advantageous for them to fight here.
Mu Lingjiu remembered that she had given Yujiao and the others a map before. They might be walking according to the instructions on her map, so Mu Lingjiu also followed that route.
Xuntian Zhang followed behind Mu Lingjiu cautiously, "It's so scary here, I can't see clearly either."
"Just follow us." Lolo flapped his wings to blow away some of the mist.
Xuntian Zhang hurriedly followed behind Mu Lingjiu, not daring to relax at all.
"It smells like blood." Lolo squatted beside a branch and sniffed.
"I smelled it too." Xuntian Zhang agreed.
Mu Lingjiu squatted down and gently touched the bloodstain. No matter whose it was, an accident must have happened here.
"It's foggy here, so it's hard to tell how old the blood is, but it shouldn't be more than a day old."
The blood is still moist, so the fog cannot be ruled out, but the blood is very dark in color and has not changed its taste, so it may have only been there for a day.
Mu Lingjiu suspected that the blood belonged to her two senior sisters.
Mu Lingjiu quickened his pace and ran forward.
She was very familiar with the road, so she moved very quickly.
I saw some traces of fighting on the road. I guess someone was chasing the senior sisters.
Until night, the visibility was terribly low. Mu Lingjiu could only see clearly within a distance of twenty meters. It was pitch black and it was inconvenient to move forward, but it was not convenient to rest here either.
The man and the two beasts found a stone to meditate and practice.
Lolo shook her dripping clothes.
"It's so wet here and I don't have a change of clothes."
"I'll buy you some clothes when I get out." Mu Lingjiu touched Luo Luo's head.
Lolo was very happy and jumped around with his head shaking.
"I meditated for a while and then continued on my way."
Mu Lingjiu sat cross-legged in meditation, expelling the coldness from his body, and continued walking along the road.
Not only is the night darker and the dew heavier, but there is also a lot of cold air. The cold in the misty forest can damage the foundation of spiritual practice. It is not just ordinary cold, and you must clear your tendons and meridians after a while.
Their movements were much slower at night, and by the next morning, Mu Lingjiu discovered torn clothes and blood.
"This looks like it belongs to Feng Yuexian." Luo Luo picked up the clothes and looked at them again and again.
Mu Lingjiu nodded, confirming that it was Feng Yuexian's clothes. The senior sisters were indeed in the misty forest and were indeed taking the route she gave.
She quickened her pace and after walking for about an hour, she heard the sounds of fighting and hidden weapons being fired. She stopped and summoned a few golden-haired rats to go out and investigate the situation.
In the misty forest, the golden-haired rats move very slowly and cannot be seen clearly, but it is even more difficult for other people and monsters to find them, so they can bring back news safely.
Soon the golden-haired rat figured out the situation around it.
"Four people are chasing two people."
