Chapter 30: Visiting Old Friends
When Ji Nuan returned to the inn, Yu Man had already gotten up, and when he saw Ji Nuan entering the house, he immediately greeted him.
"Where have you been?" Yu Man's voice could not hide her concern, and even she herself did not notice it.
Ji Nuan walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of hot water and took a sip and said, "It's okay, I just went to the street and shook around."
"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Er came up with the dishes at the right time.
"Come in".
"Girl, this is the meal you ordered to make", Xiao Er put the dish on the table and said with a smile: "Does the girl have any other instructions?"
"No, thank you"!
Xiao Er heard Ji Nuan's answer, turned around and walked out, and brought the door again.
"Yu Man, you're hungry, come over and eat something!"
Ji Nuan looked at the two dishes and one soup on the table, felt very appetizing, and couldn't help but move the chopsticks first, and exclaimed: "Well, it tastes good."
Yu Man also sat down, and the two of them ate without saying a word, Ji Nuan would occasionally give food to Yu Man, Yu Man was obviously uncomfortable but did not refuse.
"Knock knock", another knock on the door sounded, and Cheng Xiaorou's gentle voice came, "Senior Sister Yu, Senior Sister Ji, are you there?"
"I'm here". When Ji Nuan heard her voice, she immediately got up excitedly and opened the door, and as soon as she saw her, she took her hand with concern and asked, "Senior sister, why haven't you rested?"
"I've rested, I heard you guys coming, so come and see."
In fact, she heard Ru Qin talk about the two of them, and she was worried that the two of them would have conflicts again. After hesitating, I decided to come and see, and when I saw that the two were eating harmoniously, I felt a lot more relieved.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry, we're almost done eating, why don't I go to the kitchen and cook a few more dishes?"
Ji Nuan said and was about to go downstairs, Cheng Xiaorou grabbed her and said, "No need, I'm just coming to see you."
Ji Nuan hurriedly pulled her into the house and sat down, remembering what happened on the street before, and told Cheng Xiaorou all about it.
"How can this be?" Cheng Xiaorou said in confusion, "It seems that there may be more than one missing person at night, and we may have been wrong from the beginning."
Seeing her confused appearance, Ji Nuan immediately comforted: "Senior sister, don't worry, maybe the matter is not as bad as you think, the people of Mofu are also investigating this matter, and this matter will be resolved smoothly."
"I hope so". Cheng Xiaorou's tone still couldn't hide her worry.
After discussing it, the three of them decided to take a look around. It was noon, the sun was out, the snow on the ground was melting, and the weather was getting a little warmer.
The three of them stepped on the wet street, their eyes constantly looking around. The surrounding hawkers shouted and shouted, but the three of them had no intention of remembering, and they all walked forward with their own hearts.
"Senior sister" and Zijian's voice came from a distance, he and Moyang and the other senior brothers also just arrived in Qinzhou last night, and they came out to check at this time and happened to meet Cheng Xiaorou and them.
"Senior brother, why are you here too?" Cheng Xiaorou and a few people walked up to Zijian and asked.
"We heard that many monks in Qinzhou have disappeared mysteriously, so we came to check them out."
"What clues can be found"?
"I haven't found any clues yet, what about you, junior sister"?
Cheng Xiaorou also shook her head, but Ji Nuan pondered. The disappearance of this Qinzhou monk will definitely not be easily spread, after all, the reputation of the Xianmen is particularly important. But now all the Dusk Creek disciples who came out to practice are gathered here, and it seems that someone did it deliberately.
Yu Man crutches Ji Nuan with his hand and asked, "What do you want?"
"It's nothing, senior sister, can I go and see Mo Yun?"
Ji Nuan vaguely felt that this matter was related to Mo Mansion, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Several people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and Cheng Xiaorou responded first: "Why did Senior Sister Ji go to see him, do you know him"?
"Well, I had a relationship with Mo Yun yesterday, and he helped me find a place to escape from the snow, I thought that since I arrived in Qinzhou, I might as well visit him."
Ji Nuan's original intention was to go to Mofu to check if there were any useful clues, but he was afraid that they would think too much, so he used this as an excuse.
Zijian immediately replied: "Senior sister, I know that he has nothing to do with my Duxi River, and it doesn't seem appropriate to go now."
"I've also heard about Mo Yun, but it's been five years, should you let it go?"
Several people were even more surprised when they heard this, the two of them had just met, and Mo Yun actually told her everything that happened five years ago, which was really incredible.
They had also befriended Mo Yun before, but they had no contact after that incident. Cheng Xiaorou thought for a while and said: "Senior sister is right, since you have arrived in Qinzhou, it is time to visit your old friends, let's go!"
"Moyang, you take the juniors and disciples back first! I'll go and have a look." After Zijian finished speaking, he also followed Cheng Xiaorou's footsteps.
In the Mo Mansion, Mo Yun was sitting directly above the lobby, and Mo Feng was standing in the middle of the lobby, which was the first time that Mo Yun took the initiative to ask about Qinzhou affairs.
"Cousin, how is the investigation of the monk's disappearance?"
Mo Feng was originally the son of Uncle Mo Yun, and after Mo Yun was taken to Duxi by Zhu Yuanzhi ten years ago, Mo Feng has been following the old sect master and is in charge of the affairs of the Mo Mansion.
Mo Feng was obviously a little surprised, this was also the first time in five years that he had called himself a cousin. Since Mo Yun came back from Dusk Creek, he had little contact with outsiders, and even most of the new disciples of Mo Mansion didn't know him, and they were all led by Mo Feng to practice.
He hesitated for a moment and replied: "Back to the sect master, there is no progress in this matter for the time being, please forgive the sect master."
After Mo Yun saw Ji Nuan, he knew that Duxi had sent someone to Qinzhou, and he was afraid that this matter would implicate Xiangling, so he suddenly cared about this matter.
"Cousin, I've worked hard for you in the past five years, and when I marry Xiangling, I will announce that I will pass on the position of sect master to you, and you need to settle this matter as soon as possible."
"Ahem...", Mo Yun coughed violently again after speaking. Mo Feng hurriedly handed over a Jinpa, Mo Yun took the Jinpa and covered his mouth, and then spread it out in his hand, and the Jinpa was immediately stained red with blood.
Mo Feng exclaimed, "Sect Master, you..."
Mo Yun waved his hand lightly to signal him to step back, he knew that his body was getting worse and worse, and he didn't know how long he could last. But at least, you must hold on until the day you marry Xiangling.
"Sect Master, there are a few people outside the door who claim to be disciples of Dusk Creek who have come to visit, Sect Master, look...". The person who came was a disciple of Mofu, and he was respectfully asking for instructions at this moment.
came so quickly, Mo Yun waved his hand and said: "If you don't see it, just say that the sect master is unwell and not suitable to see guests, cough cough..."
"Yes", the person who came respectfully stepped back, and not long after that, he walked in again and said: "Sect Master, there is a girl who calls herself Ji Nuan who said that the Sect Master may be willing to see her, I don't know..."?
Mo Yun leaned back on the seat a little weakly, and when he heard Ji Nuan's name, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Let her in, she's alone."
"Yes", this person came to the gate of Mofu after leaving, and Ji Nuan and the four of them were standing outside the door waiting.
"Miss Ji, please inside."
Ji Nuan saw that he was relieved, and immediately followed him to the house. Seeing this, Yu Man also followed, but was stopped by him and said, "Girl, the sect master only saw Miss Ji alone."
Yu Man was a little annoyed, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand and about to make a move. Cheng Xiaorou held her hand and shook her head to signal: "Forget it, let's go back first"!
"But...", Yu Man wanted to say something more, Ji Nuan also smiled at her and shook her head, and then followed the person into the Mo Mansion.
"Senior sister, this Mofu seems to have a demonic spirit, will Ji Nuan go in alone..."?
As soon as they came, they noticed that there seemed to be a demonic aura, but when they looked closely, it seemed that there was nothing, so Yu Man was not worried that Ji Nuan would go alone.
"It's okay, Mo Yun won't hurt her." Cheng Xiaorou has confidence in Mo Yun, although he can't let go of what happened five years ago, he will never hurt innocent people.
Zima also comforted: "Don't worry, it's going to be fine, why don't we go back first! ”
"It's okay too". Cheng Xiaorou also took a step after speaking, but Yu Man did not move.
"Let's go first, I'll wait for her outside", Yu stared straight at Mo Fu, and responded without looking back.
Cheng Xiaorou nodded and chuckled and left with Zijian, once upon a time, the arrogant and rude eldest lady would care about others, and even Cheng Xiaorou secretly admired Ji Nuan.
In fact, not only her, but even Zijian admired her, after all, Yu Man was famous for not recognizing his six relatives.
"Sect Master Mo, I'm really sorry that Ji Nuan came uninvited, I don't know if the sect master is in better health"? Ji Nuan smiled and apologized as soon as he entered the room, but there was worry in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Ahem... It's okay, Miss Ji is naturally welcome to come to Mo, Miss Ji, please take a seat."
Mo Yun sat up straight, saw Ji Nuan sit down and immediately ordered: "Come on, watch the tea."
Then two maids served them new tea.
Ji Nuan also took a sip and exclaimed, "This tea is so fragrant." She didn't know the tea ceremony, she just thought that the tea was fragrant and sweet, and the taste was excellent.
"Haha... Miss Ji deliberately came, I'm afraid it's not just to taste tea?" Mo Yun's words no longer had yesterday's kindness, and seemed to be a little more vigilant.
Ji Nuan looked around, Mo Yun waved his hand knowingly, and the two maids saluted and retreated.
"Miss Ji, what can you say now"?
"Ji Nuan really came here not only to visit you, I don't know what Sect Master Mo thinks about the disappearance of this monk?"
The two of them were not as comfortable talking as they were yesterday, and even the names were much more rusty.
"Miss Ji is here for Twilight, right?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Ji Nuan hurriedly denied it: "Ji Nuan is not only for Duxi, but also for Sect Master Mo."
"What do you mean by that?" A hint of coldness flashed in Mo Yun's eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"The disappearance of this Qinzhou monk, I believe that the Mo Mansion must be reluctant to spread the word. But now everyone knows that even all the people who came out to practice in Dusk Creek have gathered here, and it seems that someone did it deliberately."
After Ji Nuan finished talking about all his doubts in one breath, Mo Yun said clearly: "Miss Ji thinks this matter is related to Mo Mansion"?
"These are just my conjectures, I hope that Sect Master Mo will pay more attention to whether there are suspicious people in the Mo Mansion, and don't let others take advantage of it."
Ji Nuan saw Mo Yun's precaution, stood up and saluted: "Sect Master Mo, what Ji Nuan should have said has been finished, farewell!"
Mo Yun saw Ji Nuan turn around and wanted to leave, and he also understood Ji Nuan's kindness, and suddenly let down his guard and said: "Miss Ji, please stay, I don't know if the girl is willing to go down to see someone together"?
Ji Nuan turned around when she heard this, Mo Yun had already stood up and walked out of the door first, she didn't hesitate to follow directly.
