Cultivating immortals is a hard job

Mo Xun threw out a transmission talisman.

"Tell your father that the hostages will be exchanged in a year. During this period, he'd better be nicer to my companion, otherwise it won't be certain what I will exchange for you!"

Gu Qingyue frowned.

"Why a year later?"

"You just need to do as I'm told, and you will do whatever I say!"

Mo Xun thought to himself that if he hadn't needed at least half a year to adjust his breathing and internal injuries, he wouldn't have wanted to delay even a day.

Just like that, Mo Xun sealed a formation in the secret room, trapping Gu Qingyue in it.

This period of time can also be regarded as a buffer period. If possible, he hopes to get something out of this woman's mouth.

Of course, searching for souls is the most direct method, but it is also the last resort.

After all, Gu Qingyue's cultivation level is not low, and one careless move will cause the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness to collapse.

As soon as he finished his work, Bai Ze's message came from outside.

Zuo Jin is here!

After leaving the secret room, it was already dusk outside the house, and the red sunset in the sky shone in the courtyard, making everything seem to be covered in a golden glow.

The wine shop will close in half an hour at most.

It was obviously not normal for Zuo Jin to come to the door at this time.

"I've met Senior Zuo!"

Mo Xun regained his former peace, and there was no trace of anything strange on his face.

"I don't know, senior, you're here so late, but what's the important matter?"

The two looked at each other, Zuo Jin kept looking at Mo Xun's face, as if he was looking for something.

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Mo, you are too polite. I heard that the Master is back. I am here today. In addition to sending me my share of the wine sales last month, I just want to talk to the Master. By the way, I have a few words. Bring it to fellow Taoist Purple Sage.”

Mo Xun felt a chill in his heart, as he expected.

He had just returned from Cangwu Mountain, and people came to him from the back.

It seems that the Demon Lord Hall is still very distrustful of him. As soon as the incident came out, they immediately thought of him.

Mo Xun nodded.

"My master did come back a few days ago, but my junior sister is about to make a breakthrough and has gone out to help my junior sister find advanced items."

Zuo Jin pondered and stroked the long beard under his chin, his eyes still fixed on Mo Xun.

His spiritual consciousness searched the wine shop unscrupulously.

Fortunately, he was still restrained and did not forcefully invade the restricted room.

"That's it. It seems like I'm here by some bad luck!"

Speaking of Lan Xin, Zuo Jin seemed to be interested.

"I believe that my junior sister's cultivation level is higher than yours. I wonder why?"

Mo Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"I made the seniors laugh. Although the juniors got started early, they are not as fast as the junior sisters because of their dull qualifications. Speaking of which, it is really embarrassing. Perhaps it is for this reason that the master asked the juniors to take care of the wine shop, while Shi Chang will be the junior sister. Take it with you.”

Seeing Mo Xun's lonely expression, Zuo Jin couldn't continue this topic.

"By the way, why haven't I seen the girl drinking in your shop these few times I've been here?"

Zuo Jin is obviously not suitable for intelligence work.

When I came here in the past, most of the things were explained in just a few words.

But today, many irrelevant questions were asked one after another.

Even a fool can tell that something is not right.

Mo Xun smiled.

"Senior is talking about Si Niang. Some time ago, her family wrote a letter saying that a relative at home was seriously ill and needed to be taken care of temporarily. Who knew she would be away for several months? If she didn't come back, I would have to recruit other people to deal with the emergency. , otherwise that little girl would really be too busy.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Bai Ze behind the counter.

Seeing the two pairs of eyes looking at each other at the same time, the little guy pursed his lips and smiled in cooperation.

But no matter how you look at it, the smile is a bit forced.

Xiaobai is not pretending, but he is really unhappy.

When the wine shop first opened, she happily worked as the boss for a while, receiving and delivering food every day, which was quite interesting.

After all, I have never experienced this kind of life before, and the little girl is working hard!

No matter what, it is definitely much better than staying in that stuffy gourd.

But as time passed, she felt bored.

In the past, with Qian Siniang by my side, I could have someone to relieve my boredom when nothing happened.

It was better now. All Mo Xun did was go out for a walk all day long, leaving her alone to look after the store boringly. All the hard work fell on her, a cute little girl, who was really bullying others.

During this time, she had protested to her uncle more than once.

But he speaks softly, and every time he gets an answer, he gets a slap on the forehead.

Zuo Jin rolled his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.

In fact, there are too many strangeness and mysteries in this wine shop.

First there was an elusive fake infant strongman, and then a junior sister of unknown origin appeared. Even the drunk servant in the shop seemed mysterious.

It seems that after returning, we need to investigate the details of the person named "Qian Siniang" again.

As for Mo Xun, he is not afraid of any investigation at all.

After Qian Siniang left, he greeted Qian Weiniang from Zuisheng Building. Presumably that woman would arrange everything.

"Since fellow Taoist Purple Saint is not here, I will stay here soon. If the master comes back, be sure to let me know that someone wants to see him."

While talking, Zuo Jin took off a storage bag from his waist and threw it directly to Mo Xun.

"The sales were good last month. Here are the specific accounts and profit sharing. Check it out!"

Mo Xun chuckled.

"The senior's character is trustworthy to the junior. As for what the senior has told me, I will inform him as soon as possible after my master comes back."

Watching Zuo Jin go away, the smile on Mo Xun's lips slowly faded.

Just in case, he still communicated with Qian Weiniang and told her not to reveal her secret to him.

A few days later, while Mo Xun was recuperating in the secret room, he suddenly received an urgent message.

Without any hesitation, he left Qiutian City directly.

Qian Siniang is back!

This transmission note was sent by the other party.

But this is not just a message, but a cry for help!

In mid-air, Mo Xun took out a red mask and put it on his face.

This was something he snatched from a red-faced Rakshasa from Wuchang Tower when he was in Xihezhou.

Rainbow light flashed across the air quickly, and Mo Xun used his magic power to slightly change his body shape.

In a place thousands of miles away from Qiutian City, Qian Siniang was hiding in a cave with a male cultivator.

Outside the formation in front of the cave, deafening rumbling sounds continued to be heard.

The ground beneath his feet trembled violently in the roar, and the rocks above his head also fell down piece by piece.

Qian Siniang's mouth was bleeding and her face was extremely pale.

The most terrible thing was the deep knife marks on her arm. The entire left arm was almost cut off from the shoulder, and half of her body was dyed red with blood.
