Brave the world of self-cultivation with the aura of Jack Su

Chapter 58

Liu Piaopiao looked at Mu Yunsheng suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to cover up.

Qingling snorted: "Coward, you have to cover up even a little shit."

In terms of feelings, it's better for the demon cultivators to be more straightforward.

If you like it, you like it, just say it.

Liu Piaopiao asked the young man with a funny face: "What is it? Why are you keeping it a secret from me?"

They have been together for more than ten years, and she always thought that she knew everything about young people. Isn't that the case?
Well, it's actually quite normal, isn't it?

Everyone has their own living space and their own secrets.

Mu Yunsheng lowered his head, his hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists.

He wanted to speak out, but felt that the time had not come.

His elder sister has never shown him any friendship beyond that of the same family, and once in a while she blushed, but she quickly calmed down.

She was as indifferent and calm as always, like a soft and white cloud in the sky, which made him feel completely uncertain and uncertain.

He was afraid of being rejected, worried that he would be rejected even if he went out with his elder sister in the future.

"Nothing special."

Mu Yunsheng finally chose to conceal it.

Liu Piaopiao's eyes lingered between the young man and the enchanting girl for a while, and then quickly retracted them.

"I understand. If you don't want to tell, I won't ask you. It's normal to have your own little secret."

She smiled slightly, and let it go.

Qingling despised Mu Yunsheng for being so hesitant and cowardly, but she wasn't in the mood to expose him either.

Then I put the topic on the city lord and the demon cultivator again.

"You said let me cooperate with you in action, how do you think I will cooperate with you? Don't let people run away first."

The enchanting girl put her legs on the corner of the table and lay down on the bed, exuding a lazy aura.

Liu Piaopiao thought about it seriously, and said: "This matter needs to be well planned. I have to understand the relationship between the captain and the city lord first, and more importantly, the city lord, so that I can know what kind of plan is effective."

"At the moment, the matter is known quite suddenly, and I don't know much about the city lord, so I can't make plans casually."

Qingling stretched, then sat up straight, sighed, and said: "Okay, I understand, you don't have a plan yet, so I'll give you a few days, you'd better hurry up." Come on, I will pay attention to the City Lord's Mansion in the next few days, and will not let the other party arrest people randomly."

"sure……"

Although Liu Piaopiao assured Qingling that he would understand as soon as possible, but in fact, during the day, he was always very busy.

Mei Yi sold many children back and forth, and the parents of those children went crazy after being released from the city lord's mansion.

Some of those people are profiteers, some are fugitives from other places, and some are just casual cultivators participating in the Xianmen Grand Competition, but they all cherish and love their children extremely.

Liu Piaopiao and the people in the law enforcement team have been tracking down the betrayed children following the clues given by Mei Yi.

Many buyers left without leaving any information because they wanted to sever the connection between their children and their biological parents. Members of the law enforcement team had to go to the door to inquire about those buyers who left with their children.

The child Liu Piaopiao is in charge of investigating is called Xiaotong. His father is a cultivator with a criminal record, and his mother is an ordinary person.

Xiao Tong's father was arrested by the law enforcement team for robbing the elixir shop and disrupting the elixir auction.

It was his wife who sold the property and apologized to the elixir shop, finally begged for forgiveness and fished him out.

Unexpectedly, after this incident, his wife failed to survive the illness and left on the day he was released, leaving him and the child to depend on each other.

Within a few years, the father and son encountered such a disaster again. The father was taken away and the son was sold.

Liu Piaopiao was in charge of the investigation, and it was inevitable that he had to contact this father, and also witnessed how he was getting haggard day by day.

A good immortal cultivator has gradually become insubstantial, with neither human nor ghost, and looks extremely miserable.

Liu Piaopiao and Mu Yunsheng wanted to find clues about the boy's buyer, so they first went to the buyer's original activity range.

After inquiring with people who are often active around, I found out that the other party was a person who didn't talk much, and disappeared suddenly one day, only listening to the accent, as if he came from the Northwest.

Liu Piaopiao inquired with the city defense army that was guarding the city that day, and learned the general direction of the other party's departure, so she set off with the young man.

The Central Continent is huge, with countries row upon row, not to mention cities, which are even densely packed.

And time has passed for a while, and the other party doesn't know where he is.

Liu Piaopiao is actually not very confident that he can find the child.

But thinking of the father who was full of hope for her, she could only bite the bullet and try her best to find it.

Before they set off, they planned a map and drew two routes on the map. Liu Piaopiao and Mu Yunsheng would look for one, and Xiaotong's father would look for one, so the chances of finding them would be higher.

Liu Piaopiao met a lot of passers-by on the road, many of them came here for the Xianmen Grand Competition.

She inquired with those people along the way, and got some clues.

It is said that not long ago, someone found the child at the junction of the Central Continent and the Beizhou Continent, in the border area of ​​Lulan Country, and the people who traveled with him also matched the buyer's characteristics given by Mei Yi.

Liu Piaopiao was worried that notifying Xiaotong's father too early would make him happy in vain, so he didn't say anything, but passed with Mu Yunsheng.

The two flew in the sky for two days and one night, and arrived at the border of Lulan Kingdom without rest.

The Beizhou continent has short summers and long winters, and is covered with ice and snow all year round. Even Lulan Kingdom is extremely cold.

The cold there is not just a simple low temperature, but a dense chill even with spiritual power.

After Liu Piaopiao arrived at the border of Lulan Kingdom, he sneezed uncomfortably, while Mu Yunsheng had already caught a cold.

The two of them had to find an inn to stay temporarily, to relax their bodies stiffened by the cold wind.

Lu Lan's inn is not the same as other places. In the center of the room is a large stove, which emits a steady stream of heat.

By this time the sky outside had gradually turned black.

A steady stream of people began to stay in the inn, and the lobby on the first floor gradually became noisy and lively. Many people were drinking spiritual wine to warm up.

The cold wind outside the inn was howling louder and louder.

The nights will only get colder and colder. Most people have no way to spend the night outside. Even cultivators may freeze to death.

Liu Piaopiao took the portrait of the little boy and began to inquire with all the practitioners in the lobby.

Everyone had nothing to do, so they simply asked her about the child.

"Fairy, you chased here from Chaoyang City just to find such a child? Did he steal some magic weapon from you?" A man with sideburns asked.

The person at the same table said: "Such a child, how old is he, how can he steal things, don't make wild guesses."

A rough-dressed, heroic-looking woman said, "Maybe it's the younger brother of this fairy who has been living abroad."

"Or an illegitimate child living outside?" A very young boy smiled.

"Everyone guessed wrong." Liu Piaopiao said with a heavy face: "He is my nephew, who was stolen and sold by human traffickers not long ago. I, as an aunt, came out to find someone."

When the people around heard that the child had been stolen from the family, they all fell silent, and even those who were laughing could no longer laugh.

When Mu Yunsheng heard the woman say nephew, his eyelids jumped, and he stood silently behind her.

The people around him took his silence as grief and worry.

Liu Piaopiao also came up with this idea temporarily.

She thought that the power of one person is not as good as the power of the masses, so she wanted to embellish and enrich the tragedy between the children's parents, arouse the sympathy of the public, and mobilize everyone to find it together. How can this tragedy touch people's hearts? She needs to describe it as a close bystander.

So she put herself in the position of her aunt.

Liu Piaopiao opened her mouth slowly, with a nostalgic look on her face.

"My sister-in-law is an ordinary person. On a certain day, she met my brother, who is Xiaotong's father, because of a hero who rescued the beauty. The two fell in love and chose to be together.

My sister-in-law is gentle and beautiful, a gentle person who often makes clothes for my brother, sometimes even me.

The relationship between the two of them was very harmonious, and the child was born not long after, and I would also help take care of the child, and then stopped by my brother's house for dinner.

But it's a pity that ordinary people have their own destiny after all, and they have to experience life and death. "

Liu Piaopiao showed a regretful look.

The people around seemed to have foreseen the ending of that gentle and poor woman, and felt a burst of regret in their hearts.

"Sister-in-law is seriously ill, her body is gradually weakening, and she can't get out of bed. My brother can only take care of her daily life." Liu Piaopiao continued to elaborate: "The little boy was only two years old at that time, and he often cried loudly at night. I can only hold him in the yard to look at the stars and sing songs to him."

"It's just that I didn't expect that because my brother couldn't accept that his sister-in-law would leave him, he ran to the auction on impulse to snatch the life-extending panacea."

Liu Piaopiao gritted his teeth: "How many catties and taels he is, if others don't know, how can I not know? He was arrested on the spot and locked up."

Hearing the man snatching the elixir, the people around were in an uproar. Some lamented that he was affectionate and righteous, some scolded him for being reckless and ignorant, ignoring the law. Many people were talking about his behavior, but none of them showed disgust, more Contradictory expressions.

Liu Piaopiao imagined what she had inquired about, and her eyes couldn't help getting a little moist. This was her regret and sadness from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister-in-law, she was sick in bed. She didn't see my brother, so she started to inquire about his whereabouts. I didn't dare to tell her, so I could only run around outside, hoping that the other party would let my brother go, and at the same time, I wanted to hide it from my family. The sister-in-law inside."

In the real story, it was the gentle woman who ran around dragging her sick body, hoping that the other party would forgive her.

"Because of her anxiety, my sister-in-law dragged her sick body to inquire with the people around her. When she knew that my brother was angry and anxious because of her arrest, his condition worsened and he became weaker and weaker. She sold the house at home without telling me. I handed it over to the elixir auction at that time, knelt at the door and begged, and finally got forgiveness, and my stupid brother was finally released."

"Sometimes, the world is really cruel...Because I neglected to take care of my sister-in-law, I didn't find her leaving home in time. When I took my brother home, I found out that she was gone. When I found her, she Already collapsed on the way back, his body was warm but he didn't make a sound, brother at that time... It was my fault, I let him miss the last time of my sister-in-law."

"This is my regret all the time. Later, I swore that I must take good care of the little boy. This is my compensation to my sister-in-law. I am atonement, and I am making up for my mistakes."

Seeing that Liu Piaopiao had tears in her eyes, the people around her already began to comfort her with sad expressions.

"Fairy, it's really not your fault, it can only be said that it was a trick of good fortune."

Liu Piaopiao sighed, and said sadly: "Yes, good fortune tricks people, who can say otherwise."

"Isn't there a fairy gate competition going to be held recently? My brother thought that Xiaotong had never seen such a scene, so he wanted to bring him over to play, so I came along with him. There were many people on the street, so I just turned around and went to buy it." A bunch of candied haws, who knows that both father and son have disappeared."

Liu Piaopiao covered her face, as if she was helpless: "At that time, I thought it was just a simple wandering away. Who knows, after investigating, I found that many people have disappeared recently. I started to look for their father and son everywhere. But I can't find it anywhere."

"After a while, my brother came back out of nowhere. He said that someone hijacked him and that Xiao Tong was also sold by those people. Now my brother is depressed because Xiao Tong disappeared, and I... I can only come out to find Xiaotong."

"I'm sorry for my sister-in-law, I didn't take good care of the little boy, and I'm sorry for my brother."

Liu Piaopiao lowered her head, calming down the sorrow in her heart, sympathizing with and worrying about the child.

Around her, some empathetic people have already cried out.

"Fairy, it's not your fault at all, don't worry, if I see your nephew, I will help you bring him back!"

Liu Piaopiao cupped her hands to the people around her and said, "Thank you everyone. If you have any news, you can pass it on to the Chaoyangzong Law Enforcement Team. I'll ask the people there to help, and I will get the news in time."

"If I see it, I will help you send my nephew to the Chaoyang City Law Enforcement Team."

Liu Piaopiao thanked everyone present.

"Having said that, I do have some impressions of the child Fairy described."

A poorly dressed old man sitting in a corner said, "A few days ago, I passed Chuhan Mountain in Beizhou, and I seemed to have seen that child, but I don't know if that child is the little nephew of the fairy."

Chuhan Mountain is just opposite the Lulan border, and there is snow all year round on the mountain.
