Soon after.
Linglong Holy Land.
“You fellow Taoists have come from afar, it’s really hard.”
As soon as the Taixuan Treasure Ship sailed to the end of the Rainbow Bridge, a middle-aged female cultivator in a palace skirt came up to greet them, bowed slightly to the people of the Taixuan Holy Land on the deck, and then raised her hand to invite them, “The accommodation has been arranged, please follow me, distinguished guests.”
“Thank you, senior.”
Qi Yuan nodded slightly to the middle-aged female cultivator, and then the group followed her lead to the courtyard that had been planned in advance.
“This place is called Qixia Courtyard, which is a resting place specially prepared for your sect by my Linglong Holy Land. You will rest here for the time being and wait for the opening of the grand ceremony tomorrow.”
While speaking, the middle-aged female cultivator took Qi Yuan and others to an independent manor covering a vast area.
The environment in the garden is exquisite and elegant, with terraces and pavilions, and even a green lotus pond. The lotus leaves in the pond are pleasant and the scenery is obviously well maintained.
After entering the door, the middle-aged female cultivator nodded to Qi Yuan and said with a warm expression:
“If you need anything, please tell the maid inside. We are all women in Linglong Holy Land. There are many inconveniences between men and women. I hope you don’t walk around casually.”
“If you want to go out for sightseeing, it’s best to have a disciple of the Holy Land accompany you throughout the trip to avoid misunderstandings.”
Although these words are euphemistic, the implication is very clear, that is, don’t wander around for no reason, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
“Thank you for your reminder, senior, I will remember it.”
Qi Yuan smiled and bowed, as if I had heard it.
“Then I’ll take my leave first.”
The middle-aged female cultivator in charge of reception smiled with satisfaction, and then told the servants of Qixia Court to entertain them well before she left.
Then, Qi Yuan asked Song Cheng, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, to arrange the accommodation for the accompanying disciples, and he occupied the main building in the courtyard without any hesitation.
“You all go down, I don’t need to serve here.”
After entering the house, Qi Yuan waved his hand to dismiss the servants present, and after carefully confirming that there was no surveillance in the building, he breathed a sigh of relief and set up a shielding ban around it.
After doing this, he quickly took out a communication talisman from his personal space and activated it.
After a few breaths, Ji Chaner’s slightly dissatisfied voice came from inside:
“What are you doing? Why did you reply only now?”
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice:
“I don’t have time to chat with you now. If you have anything to say, just say it. I’m still busy.”
He was still on the Taixuan Treasure Ship just now. There were so many people watching him. If he dared to answer the message sent by Ji Chaner, he would be immediately convicted of colluding with the Demon Sect’s witch. Wouldn’t that be just looking for trouble?
Ji Chan’er snorted in annoyance and complained, “I worked so hard to help you investigate the case, but you, such a heartless person, didn’t even say thank you. All my hard work was in vain.”
“Have you figured out the murder of the Qi family?!”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan was invigorated and asked quickly, “Who is the murderer?”
Ji Chan’er on the other side of the talisman sighed first, and then said in a complicated tone:
“Although the murderer’s method is clean, ”
“I can be sure that the extermination of the Qi family was not done by the demon cultivators, but more like the hands of the pseudo-Taoists!”
“What? !”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan was shocked. He originally thought that the Qi family had offended a passing demon cultivator and was exterminated. Unexpectedly, there seemed to be another hidden story.
Although he could not say that he believed in Ji Chan’er’s judgment, he was subconsciously inclined to believe it.
After all, this demon woman was a professional and her vision was sharp enough.
The last time the two fell into the illusion, Ji Chan’er discovered the flaw of the illusion first and broke free in advance, which showed that she was not an ordinary person.
What kind of hatred could make a righteous cultivator brutally massacre an ordinary Xuanmen family?
Just when Qi Yuan was frowning in thought, Ji Chan’er spoke again:
“Do you know a woman named Qin Lingxue?”
For some reason, although Ji Chan’er’s voice was very calm, Qi Yuan could vaguely sense an irrepressible sourness.
What’s the matter?
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and replied: “I have never heard of this name. Could she be related to this matter?”
“Stop pretending!”
Unexpectedly, Ji Chan’er’s tone suddenly turned cold, and she said in a cold voice, “If you are really the illegitimate son Qi Yuan who was expelled from the Qi family, how could you not know your childhood sweetheart fiancee?”
“Qin Lingxue was born in a small family. She has known you since childhood. The Qi and Qin families have also made a marriage contract, and the wedding will be held when you two come of age.”
“Later, Qin Lingxue Xue grew up to be a graceful and beautiful lady with outstanding spiritual talent. At the age of fourteen, she was accepted by a female sword fairy of the Hedao realm in the Liyuan Holy Land and became a proud girl of heaven that everyone admired. ” “But because of your poor talent, your status in the family plummeted, and you were finally kicked out of the house and wandered outside.” “What do you mean…” Qi Yuan was a little confused. He really didn’t know that the original owner of the useless material had a childhood sweetheart, and she looked very powerful. “Now the engagement between you and Qin Lingxue has not been cancelled. Strictly speaking, you are still the fiancé of that woman.” Ji Chan’er’s tone became colder and colder, as if she believed that Qi Yuan was pretending to be confused.
“As the saying goes, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Qin Lingxue is currently in the limelight in the Liyuan Holy Land and is known as the Jade Sword Fairy.”
“The most important thing is that Qin Lingxue has never had the intention to ask the Qi family to cancel the engagement, but instead announced to the public that she already has a fiancé and rejected the pursuit of many young talents.”
“The Jade Sword Fairy with a heavenly appearance has a useless fiancé in the Qi family in Wangchu City, and this matter has been known by her group of fanatical pursuers. What do you think will happen?”
“????”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan’s expression became more and more strange.
Ji Chan’er’s investigation is very clear. The Qi family’s massacre is likely to target the original owner of the useless material, with the purpose of eliminating Qin Lingxue’s fiancé so that she has a chance to win the beauty.
Of course, this is not the point. With this clue, it is easy to find out who did it.
The point is, the original owner of this good-for-nothing even has a fiancée. Now that I have the original owner’s counterattack script, I will almost certainly refresh the task about Qin Lingxue in the future…
At this moment, Qi Yuan only felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
No way!
Could it be that I will never return to the path of a scumbag? !
