Chapter 84 The Landlord with Black Qi
Recently, Yu Xiaoluo has had no time to pay attention to these things, and she hasn't been looking at her phone much. She's been resting and cultivating to recover her strength as soon as possible.
Yu Xiaoluo was a little surprised. She frowned slightly and continued walking forward while calling Nanshan, "Brother Nanshan, Shangguan's husband is dead?"
"right."
"Was it really suicide?"
"That's the situation right now. Although we all feel that Zhao Hengshi's death is very suspicious, we can't find any evidence to prove that he was murdered. Xiao Luo, what are your thoughts?"
Yu Xiaolu was silent for a moment, then said, "Not at the moment. However, Shangguan Peiyu definitely has a problem. Keep an eye on her and her subordinates when you have time."
"good."
She remembered the cultivators who helped Ming Jiuyou that day. She hadn't seen Xiao Haha and Xuanwu fight them. At the time, Xiao Haha had anesthetized them, but they hadn't taken their lives. Later, Xiao Wawa and the others came out and forgot about it. By the time Nanshan and the others arrived, those cultivators had already escaped.
After returning to the hospital, she heard Little Frog and the others mention it.
It is said that there was also a male fox demon who escaped after being injured by Xuanwu.
The male fox demon's origins are unclear, but those cultivators are likely from the three great schools of metaphysics, and the most likely candidate is Shangguan Peiyu, who has a grudge against her and hates her to the bone.
Chi Shangxing is a worldly-wise and opportunistic person. He is very clear about his own strength and knows the status of the Yu family and his many older brothers. They have no grudges against him, so there is no need for him to join forces with Ming Jiuyou to oppose him.
Although Yao Qingfeng had a better relationship with Shangguan Peiyu than with Chi Shangxing, he wasn't bold enough to collude with Ming Jiuyou.
Although Shangguan Peiyu was not present, she would likely send one of her disciples there.
And that male demon?
Doesn't she have a male demon lover? Perhaps that male demon is her secret lover.
Thinking about it this way, Shangguan Peiyu is indeed the most likely candidate.
This means that she most likely colluded with Ming Jiuyou and helped him that day.
After hailing a taxi and getting in, Bao Shuoyu noticed that Yu Xiaoluo still looked preoccupied, and couldn't help but gently...
He asked, "What's wrong, Luo Luo? What are you thinking about?"
"I suspect that what happened that day might also be related to Shangguan Peiyu."
Bao Shuoyu shrugged. "Actually, I sent Xiao Hei to follow her for a few days. He could smell Ming Jiuyou's presence near her villa, but he never saw Ming Jiuyou come out. Later, something came up and he gave up."
Yu Xiaolu snorted coldly, "Just as I thought."
If this matter is related to Shangguan Peiyu, she will never let her go. Her own family almost died a violent death. If it weren't for the help of the demon pet, Xiao Hei, and Bao Shuoyu, this would have been a really close call.
It seems that the power of numbers is real, especially when you have people and demons with certain abilities around you.
Although Bao Shuoyu is not very useful, he has a lot of spiritual power that can replenish his energy at any time.
Every time she was with him, she felt like she was with an air conditioner, with a comfortable feeling of warmth in winter and coolness in summer. The scent of him was especially pleasant, as if she had returned to the spiritually rich Xuyue Mountain.
She unconsciously rested her head on Bao Shuoyu's shoulder, "Brother Shuoyu, I feel so comfortable being next to you, I really want to sleep—"
Bao Shuoyu coughed. In all his lifetimes, he had never seen a girl so attached to him.
He felt his heart had never softened like this before. "Don't talk nonsense. There's a difference between men and women. Even though we're not related by blood, we still can't sleep together like that—"
Yu Xiaoluo blushed and quickly turned her head away, "That's not what I meant."
Bao Shuoyu wanted to slap himself, but coughed and said, "I mean, leaning on my shoulder is fine, but sleeping together is not an option right now, but it might be possible in the future—"
Yu Xiaoluo felt even more ashamed. Fortunately, they arrived at their destination and got off the bus.
This is a wide street lined with shops on both sides, but it appears rather empty, with not many pedestrians or vehicles, as it is not a main road.
Yu Xiaoluo was following behind Bao Shuoyu when something suddenly reached for her. She reacted quickly and instinctively tried to swat it away, but then a familiar "Awoo" sound rang out.
She saw Xiao Hei, panting heavily, so tired he was almost rolling his eyes back.
Damn it, she had completely forgotten about Xiao Hei and left it at the Lu family's doorstep.
"Hey—Xiao Hei—are you alright?"
"Mistress, I feel like I'm dying—my legs are going to break." Xiao Hei looked aggrieved, like an abandoned baby.
Making a cat chase after a car is indeed a bit of a waste. Luckily, it's in the city; on the highway, it might not be able to keep up even if it ran its legs off, unless it transforms into its tiger form. However, it won't reveal its true form unless absolutely necessary.
Yu Xiaoluo quickly picked it up. "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a few packs of fish slices tonight as compensation, okay?"
Xiao Hei could only nod; he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Yu Xiaoluo stood in front of the store and looked around. The store was in a very good location and parking was easy.
She suddenly realized that coming to this first place was the right decision; there was no need to look at the others.
Continuing into the shop, there was a very heavy wooden door in front of us, charcoal brown, with the texture of time, half-closed.
A slightly faded red paper was pasted on the door: This shop is for sale. Phone: 138*******.
As they went in, they bumped into something on their head. The brass wind chimes above made a clear and melodious sound, and Xiao Hei stared at them curiously.
The interior decoration is refreshing and very antique. The wood-textured walls and tables and chairs blend together seamlessly, as if you have entered a pure wood world with the unique freshness and simplicity of nature. Moreover, there are some exotic totem ornaments and portraits on the table, and some wine bottles on the shelf.
Judging from the appearance, this place used to be a bar, and Yu Xiaoluo felt an instant liking for it.
However, there is a strong sense of malevolent energy here.
A man sat there looking somewhat forlorn. When he saw them approaching, he raised his hand and greeted them with a smile.
He was the landlord here, and Bao Shuyu had arranged to meet him.
The man stood up and extended his hand to Bao Shuoyu, who looked at Yu Xiaoluo and said, "She's the sugar daddy."
The man looked slightly surprised and turned to Yu Xiaoluo. Yu Xiaoluo politely shook hands with him, but she felt a black aura swirling around the man's fingers.
As she got closer, Yu Xiaoluo could see the man's face clearly. He should not be very old, in his thirties, but he looked old and tired, with deep dark circles under his eyes, making him look over forty.
