For the next few days, the five of them stayed in their rooms to practice peacefully, which could be regarded as a small retreat.

Finally, four days later, someone came to tell Qi Jin to go to the elder's office.

"Uncle Mu, I'm here. ”

In the office, in addition to Elder Mu, there was actually another person, Hu Tong.

"Pray in, long time no see. ”

Hu Tong showed a sincere smile and said to Qi Jin.

However, in Qi Jin's opinion, that sincere smile has a kind of intention to kill himself.

"City Lord Hu, don't come unharmed. ”

Qi Jin did not call Hu Tong his father anymore, after all, now his wedding with Hu Xiyu has been canceled.

"Come, pray in, sit, I've already talked to Lord Hu, and Lord Hu is actually kept in the dark, thinking that it is a woman from a small place in the spirit world, and I don't see that the strange man is a person from the Gate of Bliss, so this matter is actually a victim of City Lord Hu. ”

Elder Mu said with a smile.

"Phew, hypocrisy. ”

Qi Jin said disdainfully in his heart.

If Hu Tong didn't know the identity of the strange man, he didn't believe it when he killed himself.

Nine times out of ten, it was Hu Tong who deliberately played himself as a victim in order to clear up the relationship, and it was really, good acting skills.

"Oh, so that's the case, then I really misunderstood, I thought that City Lord Hu and that strange man were in the same stream, but I didn't expect that I thought too much about myself, City Lord Hu, the kid apologized to you here. ”

Although Qi Jin was clear in his heart, on the surface, he had to make a surprised expression, and then apologized to Hu Tong.

"It's okay, young people don't have much experience, I can understand that the city lord has always been very disgusted with those dark organizations, so this time, I will take the initiative to find Elder Mu, and plan to work with Elder Mu to capture this strange man alive and wipe out the Gate of Bliss along the vine. ”

Hu Tong touched his goatee and said with a smile.

"Okay, since City Lord Hu has said so, then, can I ask City Lord Hu to tell me how that strange man appeared?"

Elder Mu nodded and asked.

"I don't know exactly how it appeared, I just remember that half a month ago, that person suddenly found me and asked me if I wanted a daughter, you all know, my wife and I have been partners for more than 20 years, but there is still no son and a daughter, so I agreed, I thought it was a woman from other continents, but who would have thought that the woman was actually in the mortal world, alas, if I knew that this was the case, I would not have made a deal with him. ”

Hu Tong said in a good way, showing a helpless expression from time to time.

If it weren't for Qi Jin, who already knew that Hu Tong was a hypocrite, I am afraid that he would have been impressed by this acting skills.

"By the way, City Lord Hu, I want to ask one thing, why does Hu Xiyu feel cold as soon as he leaves the City Lord's Mansion, is it because of the seal book that seals his memory?"

Qi Jin suddenly thought of Hu Xiyu's previous abnormality, so he asked.

"Yes, that strange man also told me that as soon as Hu Xiyu left the City Lord's Mansion, she would be cold, and if she didn't return to the City Lord's Mansion within an hour, the seal would be loosened, and if she didn't return to the City Lord's Mansion for half a day, the sealing technique would be invalid, so since Hu Xiyu entered the City Lord's Mansion, I haven't let her leave the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Hu Tong nodded and answered Qijin's question truthfully.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Jin and Elder Mu asked Hu Tong a few questions in a row, and Hu Tong answered them fluently, as if he was really just a cheated seller.

After Hu Tong left, the smile on Elder Qijin and Elder Mu gradually disappeared.

"This old fox is worthy of being the city lord, and the city is really deep enough. ”

Elder Mu is not a fool either, this Hu Tong obviously knows that the strange man is a person from the Paradise Gate, but as the city lord, once he admits this matter, he will be hunted down by the Yuan Zhiguo and the Spirit Alliance.

Therefore, in order to maintain his position as the city lord, Hu Tong had to stage a Dou E injustice with that strange man.

"Uncle Mu, what should we do next?"

Qi Jin nodded, Hu Tong can be the city lord of the seventy-fifth city, and he is naturally not an ordinary person.

"Alas, the main thing is that we don't know any clues and evidence now, the only place we can do is that strange man, but I have ordered to search the city for four days, but there is still no news, I'm afraid, Hu Tong has already secretly informed that person. ”

Elder Mu sighed and said.

Although the Spirit Alliance is powerful, if there is no evidence to directly detain Hu Tong, it is not easy to explain it to the Yuan Zhiguo.

So, the only breakthrough point now is the strange man, but the strange man has not been heard from since the last time he left the city.

"By the way, Uncle Mu, my companions heard the news before, saying that when that strange man used to live in the Shizun Restaurant, there would be a child's cry in the room, could it?"

Qi Jin's mind suddenly flashed, and he almost missed this important information.

"The cry of a child? It seems that the person should be using a child to cultivate evil skills, so let's do it, pray in, you go back to your room first, and in the next few days I will send someone to check on the villages inside the city and within twenty kilometers outside the city, to see if there have been any children lost, and I will inform you as soon as there is any news." ”

"Okay, Uncle Mu, I'll go first. ”

Qi Jin exited Elder Mu's office and returned to the room on the third floor.

"Golden Pig, how's it going?"

As soon as they returned to the room, the free dogs surrounded them and asked for news.

Qi Jin also briefly told them the whole thing, and after the four of them listened to Qi Jin's words, they all showed angry expressions, and they cursed Hu Tong for being a hypocrite.

"Golden Pig, we don't have much time, two weeks later, there is a secret realm open to the public on the side of the country of rocks, and we all plan to fight for luck. ”

Liberty Dog thought about it and finally decided to speak up.

"What secret realm?"

Qi Jin asked curiously.

"The ruins of the Lonely Cold Palace, it is said that it was once the palace of a fairy named Guanghan in the fairy world, but I don't know what the reason is, it fell to the spirit world, and every five years, the ruins of the Lonely Cold Palace will be opened, but the location of each opening is random, and the location of this opening, some strong people have calculated, it is probably near the thirty-third city of the country of rocks. ”

The free dog explained to Qijin.

When he heard the free dog say the words Guanghan Fairy, a figure suddenly appeared in Qi Jin's mind - Jade Rabbit.

Legend has it that the Jade Rabbit is not the pet of the Guanghan Fairy, is it possible that the last time I stayed was the site of the Lonely Han Palace?

"Okay, if the matter hasn't been resolved in a week, you four can go first, leave me alone, I must stay, and wait until this matter is completely over, otherwise I don't want to go anywhere." ”

Qi Jin is not in the mood to go to any secret realm now, after all, a girl he once liked very much, now her life and death are unknown, and she has become a walking corpse, and she is not in the mood to explore any secret realm.
