Volume 1 Qingyun Chapter 91 There will be no ghosts, right?
Seeing that Qin Xuanxin didn't mean to speak, Qiu Sinan took a step forward and said, "Commander Xiao doesn't have to be polite, we are all friends of Senior Sister Qiu, so there is no need to be polite." β
"Okay, I'll lead you to the City Lord's Mansion. Xiao Yong said and glanced at Qiu Jie, "Your father has been waiting for you for a long time." β
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion with Xiao Yong, Xia Ze and the others clearly felt the strictness of Fengyun City's current inspection, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth on every street, and strange merchants and warriors were all investigated one by one.
"Commander Xiao, was there anyone missing last night?" Xia Ze asked casually.
Hearing this, Xiao Yong made a silent gesture to Xia Ze, and the pace on his feet sped up a few points.
It wasn't until he was far away from the street and entered the main city area that Xiao Yong slowed down and looked at Xia Ze and explained: "Don't be surprised, Childe, the people of Fengyun City are panicking now, and the City Lord's Mansion did not report that there were people missing in the city last night in order to appease the people in the city, but in fact, there were several people missing last night, and we will talk about the details when we see the city lord." β
Xia Ze nodded, indicating understanding.
In a mansion in the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man was waiting here early, with a worried look on his face mixed with anticipation.
When he heard footsteps coming from outside, a hint of surprise was evident on his face.
"Father!"
Qiu Jie shouted from afar and trotted into the arms of the middle-aged man.
"Girl, long time no see. The middle-aged man patted Qiu Jie's back with a smile.
"Come, let the father see if he has grown taller. As he spoke, he pulled Qiu Jie in front of him and looked at him.
"Well, it's getting more and more beautiful. The middle-aged man laughed.
"It's only been a little over a year since I left, how can there be such a big change. Qiu Jie said coquettishly, at this time, she didn't look like the senior sister of Qingyun Academy, but more like an ordinary little girl.
"Another daughter slave. Xia Ze whispered.
My sister reached out and twisted his waist, she naturally knew who the "again" in Xia Ze's mouth meant.
Looking at the picture of Qiu Jie and his father meeting, a different look flashed in Xia Keke's eyes, and she also wanted to be scarred in summer.
Xia Ze noticed the change in his sister's expression, and quietly took her hand, but her sister not only did not resist, but also gently held his hand.
When she went out, the sister and brother depended on each other, but fortunately, the little red guy has always taken care of her and protected her, and the more Xia Keke thought about it, the more sour her heart became.
"These should all be the top apprentices of Qingyun Academy, in Xia Qiu Ding, I have seen a few young ladies of the son. Qiu Ding saluted to Xia Ze and them.
The status of Qingyun Academy in the Qingling Realm is beyond doubt, even if Qiu Dinggui is the lord of a city, they must be very polite when they see Xia Ze.
Xia Keke was a little unaccustomed, she wanted to salute when she saw Qiu Jie, and now Qiu Jie's father also wanted to salute when he saw her, which was a bit chaotic.
"City Lord Qiu doesn't need to be polite, although we came to investigate the situation in Fengyun City on the order of the Academy, but this time we are all friends of Senior Sister Qiu, and they are all our own people, speaking of which, we still have to call you Uncle Qiu, we are not used to you being so polite. Qiu Sinan stepped forward and returned the salute with a smile.
Originally, these faΓ§ade skills should have been done by Qin Xuanxin, after all, she had the most seniority, but looking at her appearance, she knew that she didn't like to socialize, so she could only fall on Qiu Sinan.
Qiu Sinan said, and introduced Xia Ze and them to the side, he had been in Qingyun Academy for a long time, and when he heard that someone else was a young lady, his heart was awkward.
"Sure enough, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, Qingyun Academy is really a magical place. After listening to Qiu Sinan's introduction, Qiu Ding exclaimed, he found that there were several young people in front of him who couldn't even see through the realm, and it was very likely that they were still above him.
"I'm being clubbed, let's get in. Qiu Jie urged.
"Yes, yes, yes, you see I'm all confused, let you stand at the door for so long, please come into the house. Qiu Ding owed.
Qiu Ding was in front, Qiu Jie was leading Qiu Sinan in the back, after all, compared with Qiu Ding, Qiu Sinan and they were more accustomed to communicating with people of the same generation as Qiu Jie.
On the top of the hall, Qiu Jie arranged for Xia Ze and them to sit down, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Qiu Jie actually let Xia Ze sit in the front seat on the left, and Qin Xuanxin sat in the front seat on the right.
The right one is the most, symbolizing the highest status, Qin Xuanxin naturally has no problem sitting there, the left one is the second, in terms of identity symbol, it is the only position on the right, it stands to reason that Qiu Sinan should be sitting, but Qiu Sinan seems to have a tacit understanding and pulled Xia Keke to sit down behind him.
However, Xia Ze is not very affectionate, the guest is as he pleases, Qiu Jie can arrange how he sits.
Besides, in the entire Ziwei Continent, except for the Amethyst Phoenix Chair of the Ziwei Emperor, there is no place where he can't sit.
"Everyone has come from afar, take a drink and rest for a while, it is full of high-grade spirit grass, which will help you recover your strength. Qiu Ding sat on the main seat and said.
When the fat man heard that it was a high-grade spirit grass, he took it all in one bite without saying a word, and his face looked endlessly aftertasted.
"Dead fatty, can you stop being so unproductive, the face of Qingyun Academy has made you lose everything. Wan Yudie looked at the fat man and whispered.
"It's really useful, I feel energetic now, and all the tiredness I felt from my previous journey has been swept away. The fat man replied with a serious face.
"City Lord Qiu, time is urgent, let's tell us about the situation in Fengyun City. Xia Ze was the first to speak, and when Qin Xuanxin spoke, he didn't know when he would go.
Hearing this, Qiu Ding put down the tea in his hand that he hadn't drunk yet, and said: "I don't know what day it started, Fengyun City began to receive news of the disappearance of martial artists one after another, originally I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an isolated incident, but more and more people reported missing later, even including some people from some families in the city." β
"The City Lord's Mansion had to start investigating this matter, and I immediately sent people to search for the traces of the missing person in the deep mountains and wilderness near Fengyun City. β
"But the strange thing is that these people seem to have evaporated from the world, no matter how they look for them, no one has found them, it can be said that they can't see anyone alive or dead. Qiu Ding frowned and said.
Xia Keke and Wan Yudie looked suspicious, can they still disappear out of thin air?
"With so many people disappearing, hasn't anyone seen them disappear?" Xia Ze asked.
Qiu Ding shook his head and said, "No, these people who disappeared were either resting alone in their rooms or walking alone on the streets at night, and no one saw what they encountered. β
Xia Ze frowned, he seemed to hear something.
"You're saying that those people disappeared at night?" asked Natsuzawa.
Qiu Ding nodded, and said: "After realizing the seriousness of the matter, I strengthened the night patrol in the city, almost every street was patrolled by soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion, and most of their realms were in the Xuanji Realm, but even so, there were still warriors missing, and the soldiers patrolling the city did not notice anything. β
"In the night, disappear into thin air, there won't be ghosts, right?" muttered the fat man quietly.
