Chapter 73: The Man Who Didn't Exist

The drop-off place is outside the city of Luminate. After Du Ziyuan got out of the car, he saw Mu Chengan talking to a young woman.

This woman looks about the same age as Du Ziyuan, wearing a goose-yellow dress, tying a ball head, inserting a golden hosta, and no extra jewelry, dignified and elegant, and her appearance is very outstanding.

However, Du Ziyuan found that while she was talking to Mu Chengan, she also glanced at Xia Wuyi from time to time, and seemed to care about him very much.

Seeing Du Ziyuan come out, Mu Chengan immediately introduced: "Brother Du, this is my junior sister 'Lu Chunxin', she is the person in charge of my sect in Changling Kingdom, junior sister, this is Mr. Du, and the golden girl of the Dragon Clan is in his arms." ”

Lu Chunxin glanced at Du Ziyuan and Xiao Jin, and his gaze stayed on Xiao Jin's maid outfit for a while. She smiled and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Du." ”

Du Ziyuan glanced at her suspiciously, her expression seemed to be a little wrong when Mu Chengan introduced her just now. However, Du Ziyuan didn't think too much about it, nodded to her and said, "Hello." ”

He then looked at Mu Cheng'an again: "Shall we send Wuyi home now?"

Mu Chengan hesitated for a while when he heard this, looked at Xia Wuyi again, and finally nodded: "It's okay, then I will trouble you to lead the way, junior sister." ”

Lu Chunxin nodded: "Then everyone, please come with me." ”

Du Ziyuan followed behind with Xiaojin in his arms, always feeling that something was wrong. There is a main road for horse-drawn carriages in the city, and other places are not allowed to pass through the carriages, so everyone needs to walk into the depths of the residential area.

After entering the city gate, Xia Wuyi vaguely recognized the way home and began to lead everyone forward. At the same time, Du Ziyuan also received a prompt from the system.

"Complete the side quest: Accompany Xia Wuyi back to Luminous City. ”

"Get mission rewards: Divine Soul Enhancement +1, Body Enhancement +1, and Elementary Ability or Item Draw +1. ”

Without anyone noticing, Du Ziyuan's body was strengthened again, reaching the 3rd level of the Forging Body Realm, and his divine soul was also improved, and the "Great Dream Star Magic Method" automatically completed the operation of the second level and began to enter the third level.

He only felt that Xiao Jin in his arms was suddenly a lot lighter, his brain became clearer than before, and he thought about things much faster than before. In this way, he felt more and more that this Lu Chunxin was wrong, she was really Mu Cheng'an's junior sister? How did she feel a little estranged between the two of them? She looked at Xia Wuyi more often than Mu Cheng'an, she really just came to receive Mu Cheng'an?

Du Ziyuan couldn't help but keep a heart's eye.

Xia Wuyi walked faster and faster, and the surrounding scene became more and more consistent with his memory: "This is it, my house is right in front of here!" He even started running.

When he turned a corner and came to the front of a huge mansion, Xia Wuyi suddenly stopped, motionless as if a sculpture. Seeing that he didn't speak, Du Ziyuan walked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it that he was too excited when he got home?

He glanced at Xia Wuyi, but found that the latter's face had lost its initial joy at this time, and all he could see was surprise and doubt. Du Ziyuan followed his line of sight, and it was the plaque of this mansion, with two huge gold characters carved on it: Zhang Mansion.

"Huh?" Du Ziyuan was also stunned, isn't it Xia Mansion? Could it be that Xia Wuyi is just the child of someone in this mansion? Or is this his mother's maiden home?

"No......" At this time, Xia Wuyi spoke, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

"It's not like that...... How could this be...... It shouldn't be like this......"

"Wuyi, what's wrong?" Du Ziyuan hurriedly asked.

Xia Wuyi looked at him with a confused expression: "Brother, this is not my home, my family is not like this, but I clearly remember that it is here, how can it be gone?"

"Are you mistaken?" Lu Chunxin said suddenly.

"No," Xia Wuyi suddenly pointed to a big tree at the intersection, "I used to play under that tree when I was a child, and I even carved words on it!"

Several people walked under the tree suspiciously, but they did not find the "word" in Xia Wuyi's mouth.

"How could this be?" Xia Wuyi's whole person was like a lightning strike, "I remember it clearly." ”

Du Ziyuan looked at Mu Chengan and Lu Chunxin at this time and said, "Do you know something?"

On the way, he actually noticed that Mu Cheng'an's attitude towards Xia Wuyi was not quite right. From the words of that god stick and demon girl, it can be known that Mu Cheng'an's status in the Penglai Sword Sect is definitely not low, how could an existence of his level personally escort an ordinary child home? And because Xia Wuyi was afraid of heights, he specially rented a carriage for him, which was too much.

The same is true for Lu Chunxin after that, Du Ziyuan can clearly see that her attitude towards Xia Wuyi is very strange, and he can be sure that she is definitely not Mu Chengan's junior sister! Who is she? What do she and Mu Chengan want to do?

Hearing Du Ziyuan's questioning, Lu Chunxin looked at him in surprise.

Mu Chengan sighed: "Brother Du, Brother Xia, with my Penglai Sword Sect's ability, it is not difficult to investigate a wrecked ship, as early as half a month ago, I have already found out the information of all the victims on the ship destroyed by the Demon King." ”

Du Ziyuan subconsciously glanced at Xia Wuyi, and he had a guess in his heart. Xia Wuyi lied to them when he was just rescued, he thought it wasn't a big deal, but now it seems to have something to do with him not being able to find a home.

Xia Wuyi's face really changed, and Du Ziyuan saw a flash of fear.

I only heard Mu Cheng'an say: "This is a cargo ship from Changling Country to Aolan Country, we have investigated the information of all the boarding personnel from the port of Changling Country, there are a total of 124 people on board, and after that, we have found a total of 124 corpses in the sea, and the identities of these corpses have all been checked, and they are the 124 people who boarded the ship at the beginning." ”

He had already made it very clear that these 124 people did not include Xia Wuyi, and Xia Wuyi did not belong to that ship at all. But there was a vast sea all around, only the wreckage of that ship, and if he wasn't the one on the ship, then where did he come from?

Xia Wuyi was silent, he obviously knew the answer, but he didn't seem to be willing to say it.

Du Ziyuan suddenly said: "Is it possible that he was smuggled out, or was he abducted and trafficked?"

Mu Cheng'an denied this speculation: "If he is a smuggler, why did he have to return to Changling Country from the Auran Kingdom? As for the abduction, I have already checked, and no one in Yeming City has lost any children recently. ”
