After exchanging a few words with Senior Brothers Lu and Wu, my second brother brought a few of us to the courtyard.
Fragrant tea had already been prepared on the stone table, with wisps of hot steam rising up and the fragrance of tea filling the air.
The second brother raised his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and he sat in the main seat first.
Then he pointed to the empty seat next to him and said to us with a smile: "Everyone, don't be shy. Please take a seat."
After everyone was seated, the second brother picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said seriously, "Two junior brothers, please tell me the details of my disciple's disappearance."
Senior Brother Lu sighed slightly and spoke first, "The first batch of disciples disappeared in the bustling and noisy trading market in East City."
The second group of disciples disappeared in the west of the city.
However, Second Young Master, the disappearance of these disciples in the west of the city is the most strange.
We sent out many people to search for the missing disciples.
As a result, only the disciples who went to the west of the city have not returned yet, and there is no news of them.
I had planned to go to the west of the city to investigate carefully, but at this moment.
Master Wu Feng hurried over from Lingxu Holy Land and advised me to wait for the second young master to come together before making a long-term plan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Huai, a free cultivator who had been standing quietly by the side, said, "West City is where we free cultivators gather."
There are also many branches of sects and residences of cultivation families, and the situation is complex and changeable.
As he spoke, he looked at his second brother and said sincerely, "Benefactor, please give me the portrait of the missing disciple."
I will rush to West City right away to find out the news. One more person means more strength.
After hearing Jiang Huai's words, the second brother thought to himself: "This Beiyan City is an unfamiliar place for us."
It's really difficult to find someone here.
But seeing Jiang Huai so enthusiastic, he wanted to help, but he felt it was difficult to refuse at this time.
So, the second brother then said: "Thank you, Brother Jiang Huai. From now on, just call me Brother Bai."
Jiang Huai quickly stood up, waved his hands a little embarrassedly, and said, "How can this be allowed, benefactor?" The second brother walked up and patted him on the shoulder gently.
He said in a firm tone: "If I say yes, it's okay."
Seeing his second brother's resolute attitude, Jiang Huai stopped refusing and said shyly, "Then Brother Bai, I'll arrange someone right away."
Afterwards, Senior Brother Lu quickly called over a disciple who was good at painting.
The appearance of the missing disciple and all the related details were carefully drawn.
Jiang Huai took the portrait with a resolute expression, and hurriedly said goodbye and left with his brothers.
I stood aside and saw Jiang Huai and the others leave, so I called out to my second brother, "Second brother, let's go to the place where the East City disciples disappeared and take a closer look."
Maybe we can find some missed clues.
The second brother nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
After resting for a while, everyone got up and headed towards the east of the city.
At this time, the East City Market was extremely bustling with people coming and going, and the noise and hawking sounds were intertwined and could be heard continuously.
The stalls are filled with various rare herbs, emitting bursts of unique medicinal fragrance.
There are also some mysterious martial arts secrets that attract many practitioners to stop and read.
The spirit beast beside it paced restlessly in the cage, making bursts of roars.
I looked at the complicated scene in front of me and couldn't help feeling worried.
I thought to myself, "It's really difficult to find clues. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Senior Brother Lu stepped forward and said helplessly, "We've already thoroughly questioned all the vendors in this area."
They all shook their heads and said that they had never seen the missing disciple. It seemed that the clue was broken.
I was walking silently in the open space when suddenly an idea came to my mind.
I remember one thing: on the first day Senior Brother Lu and his companions arrived in Beiyan City, a disciple went missing."
At that time, not many people in Beiyancheng had ever seen a mobile phone.
So is it possible that people who have bought mobile phones may know the whereabouts of the missing disciples?
Thinking of this, I hurried to my second brother's side and said, "Second brother, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible."
My second brother looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "Little sister, what's the solution? Tell me about it."
I took a deep breath and said, "Let's rent a spacious and conspicuous open space here and send some gifts."
This way, those who have bought mobile phones will take the initiative to tell our disciples about their news.
After hearing this, the second brother looked bewildered and said in a daze, "Sending gifts? What's going on?"
I smiled and explained, "It's like this, second brother."
Then I turned to look at Senior Brother Lu and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, how many mobile phones have you sold in Beiyan City?"
Senior Brother Lu recalled for a moment and said, "I divided five groups of people into selling mobile phones in Beiyan City."
There are 200 mobile phones placed in the east, south, west, north and center of the city.
I nodded slightly and continued, "Then there are only 1,000 mobile phones in the entire Beiyan City right now."
Excluding the other four places, there are only 200 in the east of the city.
Elder Lu added, "There probably aren't 200 copies."
I guess they hadn’t sold out yet when they captured the disciples.
I nodded to Elder Lu and continued to say to my second brother, "Second brother, as long as we give the gift to the person who bought the phone, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the missing disciple."
After hearing what I said, everyone looked at each other and felt that this was a good idea and they might as well give it a try.
At this time, Baili Yanran came forward and asked softly, "Sister Ling, what gift are you planning to give me? You need to think carefully about it."
