The city lord's mansion is built on the hillside of Gushan Mountain, and the surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful. For Yu Wanqing and Qin Siyu, two immortal cultivators, climbing such a dangerous peak is also a piece of cake.

Compared with Lingxu Sect, the architectural style of the city lord's mansion is obviously more gorgeous and luxurious.

The entire building complex is magnificent and scattered in the mountains. Every detail shows the status and wealth of its owner.

In front of the mansion stands a pair of huge stone lions, lifelike, as if they will come alive at any time.

The vermilion gate is closed, and the steps in front of the door are made of white marble, with exquisite patterns carved on them, giving people a sense of solemnity.

This mansion was obviously newly built. It seems that the spiritual tea trade has brought huge benefits to the city lord.

Yu Wanqing looked at the building in front of him and thought in his heart.

The doormen stood on both sides of the gate with serious expressions.

The doormen of the city lord's mansion were very respectful when they saw someone coming to the door, and they didn't look like ordinary doormen bullying others.

"What are the two immortal masters doing in the city lord's mansion?"

Seeing that Qin Siyu had no sign of speaking, Yu Wanqing could only tell the doorman himself.

"We are disciples of Lingxu Sect. We have accepted the task of the missing monks in Gushan City. We want to understand what happened with your city lord. Please report to the doorman."

Yu Wanqing also felt that it was rare. He didn't expect that one day he would be responsible for the task of socializing with outsiders.

The doorman nodded repeatedly: "Wait a moment."

Not long after, the doorman who went in to report came back, and he came with the steward of the city lord's mansion.

The steward had a friendly smile on his face and was very humble and polite: "I am sorry that I was not able to come out to greet you in time. I am the steward Zhao of the city lord's mansion. It is a great honor to see the true appearance of the two immortal masters today! Please come in quickly, two immortal masters."

"Thank you, steward Zhao, for leading the way."

Steward Zhao led the two to a side hall and explained: "I am so sorry, our city lord is meeting guests at the moment, and I need to trouble you two immortal masters to wait here for a while."

Yu Wanqing nodded slightly to show her understanding: "No problem." Her tone was very calm and she was smiling.

There was no dissatisfaction or anxiety, and she put on a perfect social mask.

Steward Zhao asked the maid to serve some good wine and food to Yu Wanqing and Qin Siyu. Yu Wanqing wanted to refuse, but she could not resist Steward Zhao's enthusiasm and had to accept it.

Although the good wine and food were served, neither of them touched anything. Sect cultivators were different from family cultivators and independent cultivators.

Family cultivators and independent cultivators were not restrained in their appetite and worldly desires. In the eyes of family cultivators, if they worked hard to build such a large family and still lived like the hard-working cultivators in the sect, they would just join the sect directly.

Independent cultivators were even more unrestrained in this regard, and there were even many who practiced both the overall cultivation of immortality and the cultivation of magic together.

At the same time, they were not as strict as sect cultivators in cultivation, and many family cultivators relied on pills to pile up their cultivation.

In a sect like Lingxu Sect, this kind of thing was absolutely not allowed.

In fact, the sect rarely provided sect disciples with other kinds of pills except for wound medicine, and even pills to help break through the ranks were rare.

In the cultivation world outside the sect, the pills of different levels that broke through the ranks were absolutely rare good things. Some people would kill their relatives and cheat their friends to make their own promotion smoother.

Although Yu Wanqing didn't eat, she still used her pure gold spiritual power to condense a pair of iron chopsticks to pick through the food.

Qin Siyu looked at Yu Wanqing strangely and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The first lesson of cultivating immortals in the sect is to draw qi into the body, and the second lesson is to fast, so she was very puzzled by the way Yu Wanqing picked up the food.

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "Just in case."

"What in case?"

How come this Qin Siyu is not the same as she remembered? Well, she didn't have much impression of Qin Siyu in the first place, at most she had some imagination based on the plot.

"In case someone poisons us."

Qin Siyu suddenly realized: "So that's it, you think someone will do everything to stop us from investigating this disappearance."

Yu Wanqing nodded and said: "Yes, there are only two situations that can be so brazen in Gushan City to kidnap a large number of independent cultivators and disciples of Lingxu Sect. First, this person has just arrived in Gushan City and has the mentality of making a quick buck and running away, and doesn't care whether the matter is exposed at all."

"Once the truth is revealed, he can take

He just walked away and ran away."

"Secondly, he has a deep foundation in Gushan City and a huge influence. He thinks he is infallible. Even if the matter is exposed, there are scapegoats to take the place, and he will never be found out."

"So if it is the former, we must be careful that he will slip away while we are investigating; if it is the latter, we must be wary of him operating behind the scenes and obstructing our investigation."

"In short, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so it is always right to be cautious."

Qin Siyu felt that what Yu Wanqing said was very reasonable: "Do you always carry out such tasks?"

"That's not the case. "Yu Wanqing's eyes were a little erratic, mainly because she had read a lot of novels in her previous life.

Yu Wanqing had checked the whole table of dishes, but did not find anything unusual.

How strange.

Yu Wanqing supported her chin with her hand and thought, they walked from the city gate to the City Lord's Mansion in a swagger, and the people lurking in the dark could not have not received the news.

Could it be that these people were not kidnapped by the permanent residents of Gushan City?

But if they were not permanent residents, how could they have so much energy to capture all the first batch of sect disciples who came?

Perhaps it was because the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were too strict, which made it impossible for them to play tricks in secret.

"If we are fine here, is Junior Brother in danger? "Qin Siyu reacted and was about to go out with his sword.

When he left the sect, his master specifically told him not to let Xie An get into danger.

Yu Wanqing felt a headache and hurriedly stopped Qin Siyu. Did he want to leave her alone to deal with the lord of the city?

"There are more than a dozen of them, all of whom are cultivators in the late foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage. As long as they don't provoke those old-fashioned families, it will be enough to plow Gushan City several times."

"They dare not take action because of their large numbers. "

After trying to persuade Qin Siyu, Yu Wanqing felt her temples throbbing. She had never taken the initiative to communicate in the past.

Now that they were alone, Qin Siyu was obviously not talkative. She could only stand out among the short people, and Qin Siyu was causing trouble for her.

After just a few hours of getting along, Yu Wanqing felt that she would not like Qin Siyu, nor would she become friends with him.

She hated those who forced her to socialize, even if Qin Siyu was passive.

However, Qin Siyu was one of the male protagonists, and even if the two of them could get along well, Yu Wanqing would still choose to stay away from him.
