......

Behind a shop in Jianwu City, there is an exquisite courtyard.

In the courtyard, the layout is simple, except for a few old trees, there are only a few fruitful pomegranate trees.

In one corner of the courtyard, under a pomegranate tree, there is a round stone table, on which a jade tea cup is steaming.

Wu Dexuan, dressed as a Confucian student, sat on a stone bench, his face was expressionless at this time, and he tapped his fingers on the stone table with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

An autumn wind blew, and a few fallen leaves drifted away.

Wu Dexuan sighed lightly, took the teacup on the side, blew the tea foam, and took a sip.

As early as a few days ago, Wu Dexuan rushed from Huoshan to Jianwu City to investigate Wu Hongfei's matter.

The shop in front of this small courtyard is a shop that the Wu family has been operating since ancient times, and it is run by Wu Chao, the elder twelfth of the Wu family, this Linglan Realm monk.

At the beginning, Wu Hongfei found Wu Chao and offered to take away the spirit stone and reserve magic weapons. Originally, these tasks would be completed by the Linglan Realm cultivators arranged by the clan. But Wu Hongfei has a special identity, and he is holding the patriarch's handbook, so Wu Chao handed over to Wu Hongfei the dozens of high-grade spirit stones that had been prepared long ago, as well as all kinds of storage magic weapons.

This Wu Hongfei only said that he planned to live in the Jianwu City Inn, and for a while, Wu Chao naturally didn't care too much about the whereabouts of the juniors, how do you know, after so many months, something happened?

When Wu Dexuan heard this, his face was gloomy like dripping water, and he didn't expect that not only did something happen to people, but he also lost such a large amount of materials and so many spiritual things, even a big family like the Wu family was very unbearable.

Together with Wu Chaoyi, it was decided to investigate first, whether Wu Hongfei had an accident on the way back to the family, or an accident somewhere.

went to the inn where Wu Hongfei stayed, and after several investigations, he finally got a clue from the shopkeeper who had contacted Wu Hongfei.

It is said that Wu Hongfei has come into contact with several local snakes, one of whom often comes to the inn to look for Wu Hongfei.

After a few tosses, they finally found the obscene-looking monk, and when they asked, they learned that Wu Hongfei had entrusted them to help find out where a female cultivator named Zhou Shimin was staying. Later, the monk heard clearly, and asked Wu Hongfei to receive a reward a few times, but he never contacted it since.

Now, I finally have a clue.

Before Wu Dexuan set off from Huoshan, the patriarch Wu Dehong found him and told him that the last message that Wu Hongfei sent back was to give a big gift to the ancestors, and let Wu Dexuan see if this information was useless.

The ancestors are stuck in a bottleneck and it is difficult to break through, what kind of etiquette can be seen? Unless......

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Wu Dexuan put down the teacup and saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking into the courtyard.

This person is Wu Xingrong, one of the two entourages that Wu Dexuan brought when he set off from Huoshan.

Because Wu Xingrong was the first to discover that Wu Hongfei's soul jade was shattered, the patriarch Wu Dehong was a little unkind to see him, but Wu Hongfei's accident had nothing to do with Wu Xingrong.

So when he went out, Wu Dexuan took him out, so as not to be used as a punching bag by the patriarch's brother in the clan, and it would be bad for anyone at that time.

Wu Xingrong stepped forward, and Shi Li reported: "Deputy Patriarch, I did find out that Zhou Shimin had checked in at several inns four or five months ago, and basically after this one retreated, he went to live in another one. However, in the past few months, in the entire Jianwu City, there has been no news of Zhou Shimin's check-in. ”

Wu Dexuan nodded slightly, Wu Xingrong arranged for him to go out to find the inn where Zhou Shimin was staying, and wanted to see if he could find any clues.

Now it seems that the guess in Wu Dexuan's heart is almost confirmed.

"The subordinates were incompetent and couldn't find any useful clues. Wu Xingrong was worried and confessed.

"It's okay, if you want to come to Zhou Shimin, you live in an inn registered by someone else, you go back to rest first, and wait for your ninth uncle to come back." ”
