Shi Mu's eyes swept around, and then he walked to the corpse of the first demon bird he had killed, and also put away his beast soul.

He patted the beast soul bag with satisfaction, on the way to Cangxu City, he also spent a lot of effort to collect the beast soul, and at this moment, the beast soul in the beast soul bag has also been hoarded a lot.

His biggest purpose in collecting beast souls was to curry favor with Yan Luo, and if she could instruct herself on how to use the mysterious power of the Meteorite Black Knife, her strength would be qualitatively improved.

Although he himself can trigger this rather strange power from time to time, after all, there is a lot of luck in it, and when he encounters some key battles, sometimes victory or defeat may be just a thought, but he can't tolerate such randomness.

It's just that in recent days, Yan Luo still hasn't responded to his call, which makes him quite depressed.

Shi Mu sighed, turned his hand and pulled out the meteorite black knife on his back, and at the same time turned his hand and took out a medium-grade fire attribute spirit stone, touching the black knife.

The light of the spirit stone flashed, and one after another spiritual power overflowed, merging into the black knife.

After devouring five medium-grade spirit stones in a row, the weight of the Meteorite Black Knife reached its limit and no longer increased.

Shi Mu inserted the black knife into his back, and with a wave of his hand, the blue light flashed, and the green wing speed car appeared.

Shi Mu jumped onto the flying car and waved his hand to play a trick.

The blue wing speed car flashed blue light and flew away into the distance.

This chase has been deep into the mountains for many miles.

At this time, it was less than two days before Zhong Xiu promised to deliver the goods, and now that the star stone was in hand, he had to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise the delivery date would be delayed, but it would be a little troublesome.

......

Cangxu City, Hanyuan Pavilion.

In an elegantly furnished living room, there are several people sitting as guests of honor.

On the main seat, Wang Ruikun sat opposite a middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes, the man was none other than the city lord of Cangxu, Ling Hukuan.

The two of them were chatting about something without a word.

At the hands of the two, Zhong Xiu and the bewitching woman sat on the left and right.

The bewitching woman's eyes swept over the three people present from time to time, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and from time to time in the chatter between Wang Ruikun and Ling Hukuan, she interjected one or two words that were also not painful.

Zhong Xiu sat without saying a word, his expression calm.

At this moment, a Tsing Yi attendant walked in, holding four white jade teacups with special shapes in his hands, serving a cup to each of the four people, and quickly retreated.

The water vapor wafted from the cup, but it did not disperse, exuding a quiet aroma.

"These are the spiritual teas that the Contempt Chamber of Commerce transported from remote places, and they taste pretty good, Lord of the City, please taste them. Wang Ruikun said with a smile.

Linghu Kuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of fragrant fragrance, the dantian was slightly hot, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised:

"It's really good tea, isn't this tea the world's famous 'white velvet dew'?"

"Hehe, Lord Cheng is really well-informed, this tea is the freshest white velvet dew this year. If the city lord likes it, the old man still has two boxes here, so you might as well take them back and taste them slowly. Wang Ruikun said, waved his hand and took out two cyan tea boxes and handed them over.

"I'm afraid that I can't buy a box of ten thousand spirit stones for such a spirit tea, how can I accept such a heavy gift. Ling Hukuan shook his hand and excused himself.

Wang Ruikun didn't insist, and put the tea box on the table.

"Actually, I didn't have any big deal to come here today, I just wanted to ask how the goods from Rikang City were doing now? Ling Hukuan changed his words and said.

"Regarding this matter, Elder Zhong has made a special trip to visit and assured the city lord. Now that the city lord has come to inquire about this matter again, could it be that he really believes those rumors and questions the strength of my Tianwu Chamber of Commerce?" Wang Ruikun said with an unchanged expression.

"The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is prestigious, how dare I question it, but there have been rumors in the city recently, and there is one thing in that batch of goods that is very important, and there can't be the slightest mistake, I believe Vice President Wang can understand the hardships below, right?" Ling Hukuan said unhurriedly.

"Rest assured that the fox city lord will come to pick up the goods on time tomorrow. Wang Ruikun turned his head to look at Zhong Xiu and said.

"Since Vice President Wang said so, then I will wait for another day, come to visit tomorrow, and leave today. Ling Hukuan said, stood up, saluted Wang Ruikun with a fist, then glanced at Zhong Xiu, and walked towards the door of the living room.

"By the way, the ugly words of this seat are in front, if your chamber of commerce is still unable to deliver the goods tomorrow, don't blame this seat for being unsympathetic, and report this matter to the top of the clan alliance. Linghu Kuan walked halfway, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said.

As soon as the words fell, he walked out of the hall without waiting for Wang Ruikun and the others to reply.

After Ling Hukuan left, Wang Ruikun's face immediately sank.

The bewitching woman glanced at Zhong Xiu, but a look of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.

"Elder Zhong, you also heard what the Fox City Lord said just now, how did you investigate the whereabouts of that batch of goods, can you give me a letter?" Wang Ruikun looked at Zhong Xiu and asked.

"Rest assured, Vice President, tomorrow will be delivered on time. Zhong Xiu's expression was extremely calm from the beginning, and he still said in a calm tone at the moment.

"Elder Zhong, are you sure you're not joking? As far as I know, you've been just hanging around in the city these days, dare to ask Elder Zhong, what kind of clues do you claim to have mastered the key clues?" In my opinion, you haven't worked hard to solve this matter at all!" said the bewitching woman.

"Alright, don't say it. Wang Ruikun raised his hand to stop the bewitching woman.

"Elder Zhong, since you have not accepted the solution proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, then you must be fully responsible for this matter. If you can deliver the goods on time tomorrow, then this has not happened, and the Chamber of Commerce will still credit you for a great credit. If I am unable to recover the goods, I will have to personally report the matter to the President and apply for your removal from your position as an elder. In addition, the three-fold fine incurred by this escort mission will also be deducted from your future work remuneration. Wang Ruikun said.

Zhong Xiu didn't say anything, just nodded.

Wang Ruikun glanced at Zhong Xiu, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the inner room.

In the living room, only Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman were soon left.

"Elder Zhong, do you still have time to sit here, or are you already mentally prepared to be demoted?" the bewitching woman stood up and looked at Zhong Xiu with a smile.

Zhong Xiu glanced up at the bewitching woman and slowly stood up.

Although the bewitching woman is also as beautiful as a flower, it is obviously a little worse than Zhong Xiu's stunning appearance.

In terms of temperament, how can this woman's enchantment be compared with Zhong Xiu's fairy-like charm, but it seems a little vulgar.

The enchanting woman looked at Zhong Xiu's snow-like face, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"I haven't seen Xiaowei since Cloud Wing City, but I haven't found her body either. Zhong Xiu said suddenly.

"Xiaowei, who is that?" the bewitching woman's expression stiffened slightly, and then she smiled.

Zhong Xiu glanced at the bewitching woman, turned around and walked out of the living room, her expression looked light and breezy from beginning to end, without the slightest hint of anxiety.

The enchanting woman watched Zhong Xiu's back walk away, her face sank, and she walked out of the living room, and soon came to a courtyard.

"Miss. A handsome-looking maid walked out of the courtyard and saluted the bewitching woman, it was Xiaowei.

However, she looked much thinner at the moment than when she was in Cloud Wing City, and a red mark could be faintly seen on her neck, which seemed to be a scar that had just recovered from a serious injury.

"Get up. The bewitching woman said lightly, and walked into the main hall of the courtyard and sat down.

Xiaowei followed behind, and when the bewitching woman sat down, she immediately poured a pot of tea for her.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. The bewitching woman said.

"These are the things that a little maid should do. Xiaowei lowered her head.

"You have made a lot of contributions this time, and the reward is indispensable for you. But in Cloud Wing City, the person who intended to remind Zhong Xiu, can you recall again, what are the characteristics of this person?" the bewitching woman asked.

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then tried her best to recall the figure and appearance of Shi Mu she saw at that time, and described it.

The bewitching woman listened to it, and after a moment, she waved her hand, letting Xiaowei retreat.

The enchanting woman pondered for a moment, and suddenly flipped her hand, and a white jade talisman appeared in her palm.

The light on the jade talisman flashed, condensing into a water mirror.

Two figures appeared in the water mirror, one was Zhong Xiu, and the other was a coarse linen guy with a headscarf on his head, covering half of his face.

The bewitching woman's gaze stayed on the gray-clothed little girl, her eyes flickering.

After a moment, she put away the jade talisman and clapped her hands suddenly.

The figure in front of her flashed, and there was an extra figure in black.

"Miss. The man in black bowed.

"I asked you to investigate the little guy next to Zhong Xiu, how are you investigating?" asked the bewitching woman.

"Miss Qiyu, my subordinates have been exploring the vicinity of Elder Zhong Xiu's residence these days, except for the first few days, and since then, I haven't seen the person you mentioned, it seems that ...... It seems to have just disappeared. The man in black hesitated for a moment and began to speak.

"Rubbish!" the bewitching woman scolded, and the man in black hurriedly lowered his head.

"Go down, continue to monitor the vicinity of Zhongxiu, and report to me immediately if you find this person. After a moment, the bewitching woman said coldly.

The man in black slowly retreated, as if he had been pardoned.

The bewitching woman's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was pondering some conspiracy, and after a moment she stood up, a sneer on her face.

"I don't care if you have someone secretly helping, I don't believe it, in just one day, you can still recover the lost goods one by one!" (To be continued.) )
