Lin Qi turned around when he heard this, and the person who spoke was Feng Lie.

"It turned out to be Brother Feng, why did my affairs have eyebrows. ”

Feng Lie shook his head lightly and said, "Let's find a place to talk about this matter slowly." ”

Listening to Feng Lie's tone, Lin Qi felt a little bad.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Come with me, let's talk slowly. After that, Feng Lie left with Lin Qi.

After following Feng Lie for a while, he came to the restaurant again.

The two were still in that private room, Feng Lie ordered a little wine and food, and after the wine and food were served, the two of them ate a little, and then Lin Qi asked again.

"Tell me now. ”

Feng Lie raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then he said with a look of guilt: "I'm ashamed, you asked me to find the soul cultivator, I may not be able to do anything." ”

Hearing Feng Lie say this, Lin Qi was also surprised.

"What do you say? Isn't there any news of a soul cultivator in the Imperial City?"

Feng Lie drank a few more glasses of wine in this regard, and with a bitter face, he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know if I don't ask about the matter of tracking down soul cultivation, I went to ask a friend of mine who is a patrol officer in the imperial city a few days ago, but he asked me not to ask these questions, otherwise there will be a disaster of death!"

As soon as he heard Feng Lie say this, Lin Qi understood that it must be an order from the old man, so it seemed that the soul cultivator should not have been in contact with the old man.

As he spoke, Feng Lie lowered his voice a little, and he looked around for a moment before speaking.

"But my friend still told me a little bit about this under my questioning, and you must not reveal what I said next!"

"I, Lin Qifei, am the kind of unrighteous villain. ”

Hearing Lin Qi say this, Feng Lie poured Lin Qi full of wine, and he raised the wine bowl and said.

"I know brother, you're not that kind of person, come and do it. ”

Lin Qi raised his head and drank the spirits, and then Feng Lie muttered.

"My friend told me that recently, they received an order to investigate all the soul cultivators in the city, as well as all the traces of soul cultivators, and this order did not come from the Holy Emperor's Palace, nor from the Three Venerable Palace, and his prefect did not mention to him who gave this order. ”

Hearing this, Lin Qi's heart grew angry, and he knew that the person who gave the order must be an old man.

"And although this order is investigation and tracking, these are all instructions on the surface, and secretly their commander clearly told them that if they meet a soul cultivator, they will be killed, and those who become will be rewarded with 100,000 spirit stones. ”

As soon as he heard this reward, Lin Qi was also shocked.

"One hundred thousand?"

Feng Lie nodded and replied, "One hundred thousand, but this one hundred thousand is not so easy to take." ”

Lin Qi replied with a thoughtful look: "What's so boring in this." ”

"According to my friend, this 100,000 is just bait, and the chief above just wants to find traces of soul cultivation, so I'm afraid no one will be able to take this 100,000 alive. ”

Feng Lie said as his face slowly became solemn, and then he asked in a lower voice.

"Ling Feng, why are you looking for soul cultivation? Do you know the secret inside?"

Hearing this, Feng Lie asked Lin Qi for a reason, and prevaricated.

"To tell you the truth, I was also entrusted by someone to ask him for him, but I didn't expect to be involved in this kind of thing. ”

After listening to Lin Qi's answer, Feng Lie also took a big sip of wine and whispered to Lin Qi.

"Brother Ling, listen to me, no matter who asks you to check this matter, don't continue, the water in this is too deep. ”

Lin Qi also raised his glass and toasted Feng Lie and said: "Thank you Brother Feng for being vigilant, otherwise I will suffer an inexplicable crime, but before my brother said that no one can take the 100,000, it can't be that something happened." ”

Feng Lie spoke more openly after a few drinks at this time.

"I heard my senior brother mention that just a few days ago, an inspector of the Western Imperial City accidentally caught a soul cultivator while inspecting, and he was still very angry at that time that he was going to be developed, and he wanted to use this spirit stone to live happily for a few years. ”

"But after he captured the soul cultivator, this person never appeared again, and it was rumored that he had died somewhere in the imperial city. ”

Feng Lie shook his head as he spoke, he tilted his head and poured a few glasses in a row, and his eyes slowly began to redden.

"Alas, if you want me to say, it's all greed, if that person is not greedy for the 100,000 spirit stones, how can he still be a monk in the outside world, how can he live a nourishing life in the outside world, alas, it's good anywhere in the imperial city, it's just that he will lose his head if he's not careful, Brother Ling, don't you go to inquire about soul cultivation. ”

Listening to what Feng Lie said, he also had a clue in his heart, that is, he said.

"Thank you Brother Feng for waking up, otherwise I will be in a crisis, come and drink with us, and have a good drink today. ”

The two of them drank as they spoke.

In this way, Lin Qi and Feng Lie drank again, and as expected, Feng Lie was drunk under the table again.

Lin Qi called the store to settle down, and then returned to his courtyard alone.

It was already sunset when he returned to the garden, and he sat by the pond in the courtyard, looking at the twilight pond in front of him, but his eyes were full of thought.

"The whole city is searching for soul cultivation, it must be done by the old man, it seems that the soul cultivator is not a pawn that the old man can control, but in this case, how can I find that soul cultivator. ”

This situation makes Lin Qi very passive, does he have to wait until the sorrow comes back to think about the next step?

Just when Lin Qi was distressed, there seemed to be an extremely distant, but extremely clear sword sound in his ears!

The sound came into Lin Qi's ears, which made Lin Qi's whole person shock, he turned around, and Yun Feiqing was dancing with a sword in the courtyard.

He followed the sword path of the water knowledge swordsmanship, although the blade of the green sleeve sword was sharp, but it could not reach the level of making a sword sound, Lin Qi released his divine sense again, and his divine sense detected the location of Hong Lian, and at this time Hong Lian was also practicing in the boudoir.

There was no one around him who made Jian Lin Qi puzzled, he stood up, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He knew that the sound of the sword would not appear for no reason.

At this moment, Hong Lian came out of the boudoir, and she slowly walked up to Lin Qi and asked.

"How can you suddenly exude your divine sense, is there something wrong?"

Lin Qi raised his eyes and looked at it from afar, as if he wanted to see something clearly.

"I heard a sword sound but I don't know where it came from, I wonder if you heard it, Miss Honglian?"

Hong Lian shook her head lightly and said, "I didn't hear the sound of the sword, but Ling Feng, did you hear it, it seems that there is the sound of gongs and drums not far away." ”

Hearing Hong Lian say this, Lin Qi tightened his hearing a little, and only then did he hear that it seemed that there were bursts of joyful gongs and drums outside the Boiling Spirit Villa.

"There is indeed the sound of gongs and drums. ”

Hong Lian smiled and said, "Did you hallucinate the sound of gongs and drums outside as the sound of swords?"

Lin Qi categorically denied this.

"No way, I couldn't have misheard the sound of the sword, and the one I heard seemed far away, and the sound of the gongs and drums was too close. ”

"I think you're thinking too much, I feel like you're holding a string at any time, whether it's when you're cooking the Spirit Pavilion or in the Cooking Spirit Villa, you're in an extremely nervous state, could it be that you're too tired. ”

Red said faintly, with a hint of softness under her eyes.

Lin Qi smiled dumbly and said jokingly: "It's endless fun to fight with people, and it's endless fun to fight with the sky, how can I feel tired." ”

Honglian Zhu's lips sighed slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "Don't think about these things that are fighting back and forth, you listen to the sound of gongs and drums outside is so lively, why don't we go and see the excitement and relax." ”

Lin Qi thought that he might indeed be a little nervous, after all, after hearing about the matter of chasing the Soul Twist in the city, his heart had been uneven.

"That's fine, let's go out and have a look, Feiqing let's go out and see the excitement. ”

Yun Feiqing wiped the sweat from his little face when he heard this, he put away his sword and went out with Lin Qi.

The three of them walked to the gate of Boiling Spirit Villa, and at this time, dozens of people were surrounded by dozens of people at the gate.

Lin Qi walked over, raised his eyes, and saw a group of people outside the door lined up in a few elders, and the lanterns at the head were playing and singing, and in the middle, a young man and a middle-aged man rode slowly on a tall horse.

Behind them were rows of carriages, laden with jewels and valuables.

"Who are these people? Honglian also sighed lightly when she saw it.

At this time, a female disciple beside her said, "This is one of the descendants of the old man, and the two who rode the tall horses are." ”

Hong Lian also showed indignation after hearing that this group of people was actually old with Yan Ya, and she didn't have much good opinion of these descendants of Yan Lao.

Lin Qi looked at this group of people with murderous anger.

"But where are these people going with so much stuff?"

The female disciple replied, "You don't know, these people are all here to participate in the ceremony of the granddaughter of the old lady, and these things they have prepared are gifts for the granddaughter. ”

At this time, Hong Lian said: "That granddaughter is the white frost fate." ”

"Yes, I heard that important people from all over the palace were invited to come this time, and even some city lords on the border came to congratulate them in person. ”

This news is not good news for Lin Qi.

The more people who came during the White Frost Rim and the Rite of the Ring, the more unfavorable it was to Lin Qi, and those people didn't need to think about it to know that they were the henchmen of the old man.

The mighty procession passed in front of Lin Qi's eyes like a long dragon, he looked at these people, and the intent of killing flashed in his eyes, the old man with his teeth was generally a rotten and moth-like existence.

The procession in front of the door also slowly walked through the door, and they were followed by many people who were watching the excitement, these people followed behind the team, looking at these rare treasures, and the tall horse showed great envy.

"This is the treatment of the noble family, I think when I was in the year of Xuan, there was no such a grand ceremony, and there was no gongs and drums to make a banquet. ”

Hong Lian sighed softly in Lin Qi's ear, her tone seemed to have a little disdain and understanding, but it seemed to have a hint of regret.

"Handlebars, it's not interesting. ”

Saying that, Lin Qi turned around and left, and Hong Lian trotted up to follow, and said to Lin Qi as if she suddenly remembered: "By the way, didn't you also get the invitation letter of the White Frost Fate and the Gift of the Silk?

"Of course, I want to go, it's actually me who invited me, how can I not go. Lin Qi said as if he didn't care.

Hearing this, Hong Lian said with a little worry: "But the ceremony will be full of the forces of the six elders of the Ghost Fang, since you are the Ghost Face Guard, you are their rival, plus you killed Danyu, it is hard to guarantee that they will not make a move against you!"

Lin Qi smiled and clenched his fists with one hand, and a sense of battle gradually rose in his words.

"Then, let me make a big fuss, I want to see what he can do to me in the imperial city, in broad daylight!"
