Even when the maid came to call the little girl to bed, she secretly hid the book in her clothes and sneaked back to her room to read it.
The crowd was incredulous; how could that scam-like tactic actually work?!
Long Aotian gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, Junior Sister!"
The next morning, the little girl came out with dark circles under her eyes; she had clearly been watching all night and was somewhat dazed...
It must be said that the charm of storybooks is truly powerful, and no one, young or old, can resist it. After all, after learning the tedious and boring art of drawing talismans for so long, how can one resist the temptation when encountering such a refreshing and unconventional storybook?
Last night, everyone compiled the information they had gathered.
Although Lord Wang Lang was a son-in-law of the Yun family, he was deeply loved by the residents of Snow City.
It is said that the main reason is that Snow City is located in a remote area, and the residents here originally lived in extreme poverty. However, since Wang Lang discovered the ice crystals on the snow mountain, the residents of Snow City have lived a prosperous life by collecting the ice crystals and selling them. Therefore, everyone is very grateful to Wang Lang, which is also the reason why the old city lord valued him.
Wang Lang lived up to expectations; he was fair and just, and during his tenure he was conscientious and dutiful, fulfilling the responsibilities of a city lord.
Duanmuqiao said, "According to Leng Hong's observation, the so-called fake city lord mentioned by Madam Yun is currently doing his best to fight against the beast tide. Both local residents and cultivators who have come to take refuge still praise the city lord highly."
“What Madam Yun said might not be true,” Qin Ling offered another perspective: “Why is she so certain that her Daoist partner has been replaced? Sometimes the weaker party isn’t necessarily right… Maybe the couple has been at odds for a long time, and Wang Lang is secretly favoring the Wang family. She’s resentful and wants to take a gamble…”
After all, they had encountered various different situations when they went down the mountain to train.
A seemingly pitiful weakling may be a venomous snake skilled in disguise, and sometimes the final outcome can be unbelievable!
Therefore, Qin Ling informed everyone of another possibility in advance, since the most important thing is that the oath of Heaven cannot be faked!
“But according to today’s investigation, what Madam Yun said is true. Since a year ago, Wang Shengan, who had been doing nothing, suddenly began to increase his cultivation. By the time he and Wang Lang disappeared, their cultivation levels were already quite similar. If they had no intention of switching places, the Wang family would not have gone to such great lengths.” Long Aotian continued, “Besides, if Wang Lang really sided with the Wang family, they would not have needed to take such a risk.”
Jiang Xi, standing next to Long Aotian, nodded. Although he hadn't participated in the investigation, he also felt that this matter was not simple.
Jiang Xi: "Don't forget that the elders and disciples leading the Body Tempering Sect have gone missing. Madam Yun sought help from the Six Sects because she hoped they could help her. Unless the elders and the others discover an even more unspeakable secret, nothing will happen to them."
Long Aotian looked at Tianning: "Junior Sister, what are your thoughts?"
Tian Ning shook his head.
There is still too little information available, and we won't be able to figure it out by just guessing.
She planned to start with the little girl named Xin'er, which led to this scene early in the morning.
As Xin'er stepped out of the courtyard, her mind was still replaying the story she had read the night before. Those immortals were truly amazing; they bravely stood up to fight against the bad guys, and even when they were injured, they didn't back down! Instead, they helped the little girl in the story—Xin'er!
Thinking about this, Xin'er's little head couldn't help but start to wander.
The story also takes place in the same place as Snow City, and the little girl in it not only has a similar name to hers, but also shares similar experiences. Does that mean that the people who came to Snow City to see their mother yesterday were actually...?
As she was thinking this, a strange older sister appeared in front of her.
The other person held a broken iron sword high in their right hand, uttering nonsensical words: "I am the chosen one of Heaven, an immortal sent down to the mortal world by the mandate of Heaven to punish all evil in the world, suppress demons and monsters, and bring peace and prosperity to wherever I go!"
The people hiding in the shadows: "..."
