The two waited for a long time before Manager Zhao showed up and told them that the guests had left and the city lord wanted to see them.
Before going to see the city lord, Yu Wanqing asked Manager Zhao: "Manager Zhao, can I ask who are the people who came to see the city lord this time?"
Manager Zhao said indifferently: "What can't be said? They are all from the Gushan City Chamber of Commerce, from the Yi family, the Qi family and the Wang family, and they are all here to discuss the spiritual herb trade."
"Yi family?" Yu Wanqing vaguely felt that this surname sounded familiar.
Manager Zhao: "Master, do you know the Yi family?"
Yu Wanqing remembered that this seemed to be the surname of the man who was beaten up for teasing Mu Yunxi a few years ago.
"Some old friends."
"The Yi family has been in its heyday recently. Not only did the young master of the Yi family successfully give birth to a baby, but he also got the owner of the Jinyu Building as his son-in-law. The rise of the Yi family is just around the corner. Now many old families in Gushan City have to avoid it?" Manager Zhao sighed in his tone. The prestigious Su family was destroyed overnight, and the originally inconspicuous small family gradually rose.
Family inheritance in the world of immortal cultivation is really not easy, and the difficulties are sighing.
"The young master of the Yi family gave birth to a baby?" Yu Wanqing asked uncertainly: "How many young masters does the Yi family have?"
Manager Zhao was stunned, not understanding why Yu Wanqing had such a question: "If nothing unexpected happens, the head of the Yi family should have only one son, named Yi Feng."
Is it really him?
Yu Wanqing couldn't figure it out.
This is impossible?
It's only been a few years?
The dandy young master who couldn't even beat Mu Yunxi back then actually entered the Nascent Soul stage earlier than Mu Yunxi.
Although Mu Yunxi didn't appear in the original novel, his talent and ability are well known in Lingxu Sect.
Yu Wanqing just looked down on Yi Feng. She didn't think he had the ability to surpass Mu Yunxi.
Did he use some crooked ways?
Otherwise, why!
Although it's not good to speculate on others, Yu Wanqing still thinks that Yi Feng's Nascent Soul must be fake.
Okay, after meeting with the city lord, the first thing to do is to check Yi Feng.
Before meeting the city lord, Yu Wanqing has already made plans for her future actions.
The city lord of Gushan City doesn't look like a cultivator. He is rich, with a round face and thick ears. He looks like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles. He wears gold and silver like a nouveau riche.
"You two immortal masters must have had a hard time coming from afar. Come and try our Gushan City's unique spiritual tea."
Yu Wanqing discovered that no matter who came to Gushan City, the first thing they would be recommended to was the Gushan City's spiritual tea.
Is it really that delicious?
Yu Wanqing wondered if he should bring some back to Mu Yunxi.
"Lord City Lord, we came here this time to ask about the details of the disappearance in Gushan City."
"Of course there is no problem. But..." The smile on the face of the city lord faded: "Did Lingxu Sect only send you two?"
"Of course not. After all, there is no time to lose. Others have already spread out in the city to get information." In order to avoid the city lord's anger, Yu Wanqing slightly embellished the wording.
"I was scared to death. I thought there were only two of you. This time the thieves were very hateful. If there were only two of you, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on. I almost persuaded you to go home." The city lord of Gushan City patted his chest and felt relieved.
The Lord of Gushan City began to tell them the whole story of the disappearance in Gushan City.
Two years ago, a pale and haggard woman suddenly came to the Lord's Mansion and cried, saying that her husband had not returned for a month.
It was common for cultivators to disappear for a year or two. At first, the Lord did not take it seriously, but the woman said with tears in her eyes: "Although my husband is just a casual cultivator, he cares about his family and it is impossible for him not to go home for such a long time. He must have met with an accident. I beg the people in the Lord's Mansion to help me."
In the world of cultivating immortals, countless people meet with accidents every day and die in unknown places. The Lord's Mansion naturally cannot care about these trivial matters, so it sent the woman back.
However, what is unexpected is that the number of missing people is increasing, and the cultivation level of the missing people has gradually improved from the initial Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even some disciples of the sects in Gushan City have disappeared inexplicably.
Things have developed to such a point that the Lord of the City can no longer sit still.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not the level of damage that could be caused by ordinary cultivators. There must be a demon cultivator behind this.
At first, the city lord sent people to investigate, and the investigation was simply incredible.
It turned out that Lululu had already done this five years ago.
There were scattered cultivators disappearing one after another, but those scattered cultivators were all outsiders, and they had no relatives or friends in Gushan City, so no one paid attention to their disappearance.
But scattered cultivators were not fools, and the news of the large-scale disappearance of scattered cultivators in Gushan City was still spread through the channels unique to scattered cultivators.
Gradually, no scattered cultivators came to Gushan City.
The people behind the scenes could not find scattered cultivators to attack, so they turned their attention to the cultivators in Gushan City. Gushan City is a trading city and one of the most prosperous towns in the surrounding area. There are many cultivators settled here.
So it was not until two years ago that they realized that something was wrong and began to investigate.
At first, Gushan City assigned the task to the sects in Gushan City. After all, they founded a sect in Gushan City and did things for Gushan City.
But the cultivation of these small sects was not good enough, which directly led to heavy losses for the sects in Gushan City.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Lord of Gushan City made up his mind and sent the task to Lingxu Sect, one of the largest sects.
But what the Lord did not expect was that the person behind the scenes was not even afraid of Lingxu Sect, and directly captured all the disciples from Lingxu Sect, leaving no one behind.
However, it may also be because these people disguised themselves as casual cultivators and secretly entered the city. Except for the Lord of the City, no one knew that they were from Lingxu Sect.
So the person behind the scenes dared to take them all away, otherwise the reputation of Lingxu Sect alone would be enough to deter them from acting rashly.
"But I suspect they are also afraid. After the Lingxu Sect's people were abducted, there have been no more missing monks in Gushan City." The Lord of Gushan City said with a serious expression: "They are probably busy cleaning up now."
"In that case, we won't stay any longer. It's more important to get down to business." Yu Wanqing said so, but in fact, she couldn't wait any longer. The conversation just now had consumed her few social factors. Now she just wanted to retreat quickly.
Qin Siyu looked at Yu Wanqing curiously. He thought this fellow disciple was very strange. His personality was sometimes positive and sometimes negative. He was the kind of person he had never seen before.
The Lord of Gushan City said in astonishment: "Leave now? I was thinking of inviting you two to dinner before leaving."
Qin Siyu and Yu Wanqing both declined the Lord's kindness. The Lord of Gushan City had no choice but to let them go.
Qin Siyu and Yu Wanqing left the Lord's Mansion and prepared to find other people to meet up first.
