Three days later.
Qinghe City.
This is the third city among the three cities and twelve towns under the jurisdiction of Zhenyang Sect.
Qinghe City is not as big as Zhenyang City and Qinglian City, but it ranks first in terms of prosperity.
Because Qinghe City is located at the junction of Zhenyang Sect and the Western Dynasty, there are many monks and merchants coming and going, and the flow of people is constant, and commerce is developed.
This created the prosperous scene of Qinghe City.
The management of Qinghe City is different from that of Zhenlian City, which is dominated by the Xu family. There is no such thing as a city lord in Qinghe City, but it is jointly governed by two major families.
The first generation head of the Cheng family was a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect. Three hundred years ago, he was sent to Qinghe City, which was still a small town at that time. He led the monks through hardships, which led to the Qinghe City of today.
Li family, when Qinghe City was just being built, a beast tide hit and the head of Cheng family died. The Li family stepped forward and sacrificed most of their members to save Qinghe City.
From then on, the Cheng and Li families jointly governed Qinghe City.
But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Over the past two hundred years, there have been many conflicts between the two families and it has not been peaceful.
Until twenty years ago, when another beast tide occurred, Li Qinghe, the eldest daughter of the Li family, was rescued by the head of the Cheng family. She fell in love with him and the two families became married, which led to a slight easing of the relationship between the two families.
After getting married, Li Qinghe and her husband Cheng Yu loved each other. The couple secluded themselves for a year. When they came out, Li Qinghe had a baby girl in her hands.
This is the common descendant of two major families. In order to show the harmony between the two families and the love between husband and wife, this girl was named Qingyu after her parents.
Cheng Qingyu showed superhuman talent for cultivation since he was a child. He achieved golden elixir at the age of thirteen and was sent to the Zhenyang Sect at the age of seventeen.
"That's all I found out."
In an inn, Minghu was carrying a kettle and filling it with water while talking to Suxin and Wei Wan. He accidentally choked and started coughing.
Su Xin frowned slightly: "No one is trying to snatch the water from you, go slowly."
Three days ago, Minghu, this shameless guy, kept following her closely. She couldn't drive him away or beat him, so Suxin had no choice but to let him follow her.
The three of them came to Qinghe City. Su Xin and Wei Wan did not go directly to find the Li family and the Cheng family. They planned to first find out some news about the two families among the people.
However, the two of them were too stunningly beautiful, and it would be inconvenient for them to go out to gather information. Minghu patted his chest and said that he would be able to handle this matter for Junior Sister Su.
He went out to inquire for most of the day, then came back in a hurry to find Su Xin.
Hearing Su Xin's scolding, Ming Hu was overjoyed: "Junior Sister Su, are you concerned about me? I used to like Junior Sister and pursued her so much, but Junior Sister has never been so attentive to me!"
“…”
Su Xin was speechless for a moment, and Wei Wan couldn't help laughing: "Brother Ming, how can you pursue the person you like while talking about your ex?"
"Junior Sister Wei!" Su Xin slapped the back of Wei Wan's hand in embarrassment, while Wei Wan chuckled.
After solving the mystery of her parents and breaking up with Chen Qingmo, Wei Wan completely let go of the knot in her heart that had been bothering her for many years, and her temperament became much more cheerful.
Having been with Su Xin day and night these past few days, the two women have become more and more like a pair of sisters, and are closer and more real than the polite and hypocritical senior and junior sisters in Zhenyang Sect.
"Oh, that's right!"
Minghu put down the empty kettle and slapped his forehead:
"There is another strange thing. Since Cheng Qingyu was born, Cheng Yu, the head of the Cheng family, seems to have never shown up again. Li Qinghe also lives in seclusion and few people have seen her."
Su Xin and Wei Wan looked at each other. This "Cheng Yu" was actually Chen Qingmo in disguise. He still had to be the head of the Zhenyang Sect and was too busy to be in two places at once. It was not surprising that he did not show up.
But the whereabouts of the head of the Li family is also a mystery, which is a bit strange.
Wei Wan asked, "What about the beast tide a few months ago? Didn't Li Qinghe show up either?"
Minghu was stunned and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect this. I forgot to ask about it. Hahaha!"
Su Xin said helplessly: "Brother Ming, please go out and find out more. Thank you."
"Haha, it's no trouble to do things for Junior Sister Su. I'll go!"
Minghu laughed and flew out of the window in a flash.
This guy came and went like the wind, recklessly and aggressively, which gave Su Xin a headache.
Wei Wan said to Su Xin in a mischievous tone, "Sister, this Senior Brother Ming is a very honest person, and he is very suitable for you."
"Sister, you come and make fun of me too!"
Su Xin said angrily: "I just want to find out my identity now, Chen Qingmo, and I don't want to think about anything else!"
Wei Wan nodded: "That's right, Senior Brother Ming was in love with Su Hongling before, and now he is so entangled with you, he is indecisive and not worth it."
"Sister, drink some water."
Su Xin quickly poured a glass of water for Wei Wan. After a moment, she suddenly said:
"If Chen Qingmo is really a villain, he will definitely kill us to silence us. Shouldn't we let Senior Brother Ming get involved?"
Wei Wan also became more serious after hearing this, "In this case, let's get rid of him tonight after Senior Brother Ming gets the news."
Su Xin bit her thin lips and nodded: "Okay."
Minghu came back soon, looking dry-mouthed. Just as he was about to pick up the kettle, Suxin had already placed a cup of tea in front of him.
"Drink slowly."
"Hehe, Junior Sister Su is so nice to me!"
Minghu was overjoyed, picked up the cup and drank it all, then said to the two:
"This is really strange. During the beast tide, Qinghe City was breached, and a sixth-rank monster led a large army of monsters into the city. When Li Qinghe showed up, the sixth-rank monster retreated before he could make a move."
Su Xin was surprised: "Just by showing up, he scared off the sixth-rank monster? Doesn't anyone find it strange?"
Ming Hu slammed the table and said, "Su Xin really has the same thoughts as me. I thought so too. I asked many people, but they said that it was Li Qinghe's good fortune that blessed Qinghe City. Several generations of heroes from the Cheng and Li families have blessed Qinghe City."
Wei Wan asked, "Do the people of Qinghe City all think so?"
Ming Hu nodded: "Everyone I asked said the same thing, as if their brains were controlled, their statements were all the same, this is too weird!"
Su Xin stared at him and said, "So, not only is there something strange about Cheng Yu, but even his wife Li Qinghe is weird as well."
Minghu chuckled and said, "How about we go to the Li family tonight?"
Su Xin stood up and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Ming has worked so hard to get information for us. I'll go cook you a few dishes to show my gratitude."
After saying that, he went out and came back a few dishes in a few minutes.
These dishes are delicious and tasty, making people salivate with joy. Minghu was amazed:
"I didn't expect that Junior Sister Su is not only beautiful, but also has a high level of cultivation and excellent cooking skills. She is truly a good wife and mother!"
Su Xin glared at him and said, "Brother Ming, if you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
"Okay, I'll eat it right away!"
Minghu quickly finished several dishes and then fell on the table with a thud.
"Brother Ming, I'm sorry, tonight's events are extremely dangerous and we can't let you get involved. Please... take care."
Su Xin bowed to Minghu, turned around and walked out of the room.
Wei Wan was already waiting outside, dressed in black. The two women looked at each other, and then disappeared into the night in a flash.
