The city lord's mansion is too big, the palace is clustered, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the corridors and corridors are criss-crossed.

What made Qiu Shuiming strange was that not only did the city lord's mansion of Nuoda not have guards guarding the gate, but after entering the gate, there were no maids in the courtyard on the first floor, which seemed very deserted.

"The City Lord's Mansion is like this, you pass the front hall, and the back is full of people. The flower immediately stepped forward and put his hand on Qiu Shuiming's shoulder, looking like he was ripe.

Qiu Shuiming was silent for a moment, and said directly, "You should know the Fire Spirit Shirt, can you take me to meet her." ”

Originally, Qiu Shuiming only needed to take out the token given by the fire spirit shirt, as long as he asked a random maid, he should be able to find the fire spirit shirt, but now the city lord's mansion is as big as the palace, I am afraid that some people will not be able to see the true face of the fire spirit shirt at all, and they have to report it layer by layer, and finally they can see the fire spirit shirt.

But Hua Wujian has obviously been in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, and he must be very familiar with this place, and with his identity as a member of the Hua family, he must know the high-level figures of the Huo family, and let him lead the way, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

"Fairy in the spirit shirt, it seems that you have just returned from outside this evening, and I will take you to meet her. Although Hua Youqian said that the gods and goddesses of the performance were chattering, but they were not stupid, the brothers and sisters of the Leng family said that the fire spirit shirt had invited Qiu Shuiming to join the fire family, which was enough to show that the fire spirit shirt attached great importance to Qiu Shuiming, so he would agree so readily.

Qiu Shuiming immediately hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't be polite to me, as long as you marry my sister, you let me pick the stars in the sky!" Hua Youqian grinned, and led the way forward, bypassing the main entrance hall, advancing from the back corridor, and half an hour later, he brought Qiu Shuiming to a quiet small courtyard.

Along the way, Qiu Shuiming looked around, and found that the situation was really the same as Hua Youqian said, there were indeed many guards in the main hall and courtyard and corridor behind, and the maid was standing straight.

When he arrived at the small courtyard, Qiu Shuiming didn't twist, and said directly to the two maids guarding the door, "The two girls took the trouble to inform the fairy in the spirit shirt, and said that Qiu Shuiming had something to ask to see." ”

"Crunch ......"

As soon as Qiu Shuiming said this, the wooden door of the room was pushed open, and the fire spirit shirt walked out wearing a purple long skirt, looking a little tired.

The beautiful eyes glanced at Qiu Shuiming, she sighed, and then looked at the flowers behind Qiu Shuiming in surprise, and then said, "The spirit shirt is really ashamed!"

Qiu Shuiming's heart suddenly froze, and he couldn't find out Ning Cai'er's whereabouts as a fire spirit shirt, which was really a bit strange.

"I wonder what news you can find?" Qiu Shuiming immediately asked.

Huo Lingshan sighed and said, "Originally, I asked someone else to inquire, but that person said that Ning Cai'er had been bought by a mysterious person, I thought it was very strange at the time, a disfigured female cultivator would be bought, so I asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of this mysterious person, but in the end, I found out that the mysterious person disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace, as if the world had evaporated, so I could only go out in person, but in the end it was still in vain!"

Speaking of which, the fire spirit shirt looked at Qiu Shuiming with some embarrassment.

Qiu Shuiming frowned and said, "If you really don't leave any traces, even if you are killed, it is impossible not to leave traces." ”

"It's true that there are some traces, but to tell you, it's not good for you, and there's no evidence." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Shuiming immediately asked, "Please also ask the fairy to tell me that Ning Cai'er is very important to me, no matter what, I have to find her." ”

Looking at Qiu Shuiming's rock-solid gaze, Huo Lingyi was silent for a long time before he said, "I found out that Ning Cai'er's disappearance is somewhat involved with the Lin family, and it may even be Ning Cai'er that the Lin family's people asked them to buy from the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Lin family?" Qiu Shui frowned, "But Lin Wuran's Lin family?"

The Fire Spirit Shirt nodded immediately, and then fell silent.

Qiu Shuiming had a little guess, Lin Wuran had some interest in Ning Cai'er, and he had a good relationship with Zong Qingling, so it was really possible that he made it.

I just don't know if Zong Qingling knows about this, and with Lin Wuran's virtue, if he really gets Ning Cai'er quietly, it is really a question whether he will be treated well, after all, Ning Cai'er has been disfigured!

"Spirit Shirt Fairy, do you know the Hundred Flowers City Sect family, what is the strength of that family?" Qiu Shui Meng immediately asked.

Although Huo Lingshan was puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, and said directly, "The Zong family is a big clan in Hundred Flowers City, and its strength is even stronger than that of the Lin family. ”

"That's it!" Qiu Shuiming felt a lot more relieved, the Zong family was so powerful, it would not be too much to think that Lin Wuran would be jealous, and it was even possible that the people of the Zong family asked the people of the Lin family to take Ning Cai'er away.

After all, Ning Cai'er is a relative of the Zong family, and her cultivation talent is also considered to be a first-class talent, if it is really the Zong family's action, then even if she is disfigured, she should not live too badly.

"I don't know if Zong Qingling is in Huoyun City, so I must ask if I encounter it. Qiu Shui thought about it for a long time, didn't bother the fire spirit shirt anymore, and left directly, preparing to go to the Keqing Courtyard.

Hua Youqian immediately followed, seeing that Qiu Shuiming's expression was a little solemn, he didn't say anything more, and after taking Qiu Shuiming to the Keqing Courtyard, he left directly.

The Keqing Courtyard is very large, like a separate mansion, and when Qiu Shui Ming came in, there were still many cultivators in the main courtyard who sat on stone benches or stood on the bluestone path to rest.

And at the door of the rooms around the courtyard, there were also many people standing, each of them with a very strong cultivation aura, and they were definitely genius monks who could challenge beyond the ranks.

Most of the people in this courtyard were foreign cultivators, not from the city lord's mansion, so no one cared about Qiu Shuiming's arrival.

Qiu Shuiming had two tokens on his body, one was the elder token of the Fire Family, and the other was the cultivation quota voucher of Hongya Cave, so when he found the steward of the Keqing Courtyard with the two signs, he was quickly politely arranged to a separate small courtyard, which was very quiet and quiet.

"Elder Qiu, tomorrow morning, all those who have the qualifications of Hongya Cave will be arranged by the City Lord's Mansion, so you can rest in peace. After the middle-aged man in charge said this respectfully, he left directly.

Qiu Shuiming entered the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and thought about it, if Ning Cai'er was really taken away by the Zong family, then now she must be in Hundred Flowers City, the only flaw is disfigurement, as long as she can refine the Fuyan Pill, she can restore her appearance.

The Fuyan Pill is a Dao-level primary elixir, and as long as the Dao-level Dan Master thinks of a way, he can still find it, but the Fuyan Pill is very rare in the world, and it can be encountered but not sought.

"Hey, don't think about it, it's the Hongya Cave, let's go to Baihua City!" Qiu Shui Ming muttered in a deep voice, and then took out the perfect spirit snatching pill from the storage ring and began to cultivate, after breaking through to the peak of the spiritual sea, if you want to continue to improve, you need to absorb the remaining spiritual source in the spiritual sea.

Fortunately, the Perfect Spirit Pill was refined because of this, and right now, there were still twenty Perfect Spirit Pill left in Qiu Shuiming, and after refining these, it was enough to absorb a lot of spiritual sources in the Spirit Sea.

In a small courtyard to the east of the City Lord's Mansion, two old men were sitting on both sides of the stone table playing against each other, one was dressed in black and had a strong body, and the other was dressed in white, it was a hunchbacked old man.

Hua Youqian stood aside and whispered something.

The old man in black, who was originally playing the game, seemed to hear something incredible, and immediately shook his hand, and the sunspot between his index and middle fingers fell directly on the chessboard.

"Haha, Hua Lao'er, you lost!" the hunchbacked old man immediately stroked his beard and laughed.

The sturdy old man in black glared at the flower next to him, and said hatefully, "This kind of thing, why did you come to me if you didn't look for your father?"

Hua Youqian smiled bitterly, "Dad said, that person's origin is unknown, we must find out the details, and then consider the next thing!"

"Hmph, you go and tell Xiaohuahua now, how can the ancestor's last words be violated, my Hua family's phaseless god body is ugly in the eyes of the world, hum, the phaseless god body is born from the heart, and everyone sees the flying flowers are different faces...... In this way, you can directly take your sister to meet that kid again, if the flying flowers he sees are still beautiful and the appearance has not changed, then he is the person I am looking for in the ancestral training of the Hua family!"

Speaking of this, the old man in black waved his hand and said domineeringly, "How can this kind of person with a pure heart be a bad person, since she sees my granddaughter beautiful, then she will directly take me to marry my granddaughter in the cave room!"

Hearing this, Hua Youqian suddenly turned bitter, and said softly, "It would be nice if it was really so easy, the key is that this kid is too good, I'm afraid he won't give in." ”

"Hmph......" The old man in black suddenly snorted coldly, "Just a little baby, no matter how good you are, how powerful you can be, you can tell me!"
