Chapter 18 Sister’s Clues

After dressing up simply, Bai Zhiqian and Xiao Yueya sat at the stone table in the courtyard. On the table were two bowls of spiritual rice porridge and a few steamed buns.

They simply enjoyed breakfast in the early morning sunshine, which was quite comfortable.

"Little Crescent Moon, how did you sleep last night?"

"Sister Bai, I slept very well." Little Crescent Moon bit the steamed bun, took a big sip of the white porridge, and squinted her eyes, just like a happy kitten.

Seeing that she was so happy, Bai Zhiqian smiled softly, "Little Yueya, I promise you, everything will be fine."

"Well, I believe it too."

Seeing that Little Crescent Moon's mood gradually stabilized, she decided to get down to business. After some thought, she still wanted to start with the other party's sister, which was currently her only clue to finding the shadow.

"Little Yueya, did your sister do anything strange or say anything before she disappeared?"

Little Yueya frowned and thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "It seems not. My sister was the same as usual at that time, but she felt more haggard."

"That's right." She suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "My sister mentioned to me that she found a new job and will soon be able to lead me to a good life."

Bai Zhiqian immediately asked, "Did she talk about the specific content of her work? Maybe this is the key to her disappearance."

"No, I asked my sister at that time, but she didn't tell me anything." Xiao Yueyue looked disappointed, "I remember her face looked ugly at that time, so I didn't dare to ask. I should really care more about my sister.

"

Does the clue stop here?

Bai Zhiqian was a little disappointed, but at least she had a clue. As long as she found the place where Sister Xiaoyueya worked, she might be able to get clues about the shadow.

"Little Yueya, does your sister have any close friends?"

"It doesn't seem like that. My sister was working at the dock moving goods at first, and she didn't come back until night every day, but she always walked alone."

"Let's go, then let's go to the dock and have a look." Bai Zhiqian immediately had an idea. "Since your sister has been there before, we may be able to find clues."

Without further ado, after she said hello to Yi Yao, the two of them set off immediately.

Looking at the huge dock and the floating spirit boat that was still unloading, Bai Zhiqian sighed slightly. There was indeed a big gap between what she imagined and what she saw with her own eyes.

The Qingxuan Continent is extremely huge, with four major human empires located in four directions. Ye Qiucheng is only a small city in the Xinghui Empire located in the far west. The distance between the various cities is far, and the transportation of goods completely relies on this unique floating spirit boat.

But despite having such a convenient spiritual weapon, we still have to rely on manpower to carry the goods, because mortals are like ants to practitioners, they are the cheapest labor force.

The arrival of Bai Zhiqian and Xiao Yueya did not attract anyone's attention. The eyes of the porters outside were dim. The mechanized handling day after day was enough to make too many people numb.

"It seems we can't find any clues on the outside. We have to go deeper." Without hesitation, she took Little Crescent Moon and walked straight forward.

Although there are people patrolling everywhere here, Bai Ningshuang is at its peak now, and no one is willing to have a head-on conflict with the Bai family. Even though many people are staring at Bai Zhiqian, no one comes to stop her, not even asking basic questions.

It seemed even more chaotic inside, even the air was turbid, and there were even fights in several places. There were countless people watching around, and some even looked very excited, but the noisy environment made Little Yueya's face look ugly.

"So sister...did she work in a place like this before? I didn't even know that. She worked so hard every day, and I didn't care at all."

"For a heartless sister like me, she really should leave me behind. I am the one who dragged her down..."

Bai Zhiqian sighed softly, and comforted her with a complicated expression, "Little Yueya, it's not your fault, it's the world that's wrong."

This is a cruel world. If you don't have spiritual roots, you won't be able to practice. You will always be a mortal at the lowest level, and you can only be forced to do these things in order to survive.

However, the workers here are obviously much more flexible. They do not work hard to the point of exhausting themselves to death and gradually overdraw their bodies. In their spare time, they will gather together and gamble on spiritual stones through a common card game.

But those who are more clever will surround some immortal cultivators, try to please them and even take the initiative to do some errands in order to get rewards.

No, not long after Bai Zhiqian stepped here, a man approached her.

With a cold look on her face, she held the scabbard and asked, "What do you want to do? Get out of my way."

"Sir, I have been observing you for a long time. This must be your first time here. My name is Wang Wu. I am very familiar with this place. No matter what your needs are, I can satisfy them."

Bai Zhiqian sneered, "If I say I want to find someone here, do you have any idea?"

"Then you have asked the right person." Wang Wu said proudly, "Although there are many people here, I always like to make friends, and there are not many people I don't know."

"Do you know Ling Yue?"

This is the name of Little Crescent Moon Sister.

Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he didn't answer for a long time.

"Didn't you say you know everyone?" Bai Zhiqian looked at him coldly, "Are you trying to deceive me?"

"The villain would never dare." Wang Wu said quickly, "I do know Ling Yue, but I don't know if it's worth telling me."

Bai Zhiqian finally understood, it turned out that she wanted money.

She readily took out a spiritual stone and threw it over, "Take it, can you talk now?"

Wang Wu put away the spirit stone, his face extremely excited, and he continued, "Ling Yue has been working at Lei's wharf before, because she is quite pretty, and she works harder than some men in lifting things. She usually works harder than some men.

It still attracts the attention of many people.”

"But she has always been alone. She comes very early every day and goes back late at night. It is said that she also has a younger sister. She does this to support her younger sister."

Little Crescent Moon suddenly lowered her head in loneliness, her eyes were slightly red, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Zhiqian held her hand to express comfort, and then continued to ask, "What about recently? Is Ling Yue still moving things here?"

"She hasn't been here for a long time." Wang Wu replied, "She obviously made an agreement with the supervisor the day before, but she disappeared the next day, but most of us thought something happened to her."

"After all, the lives of mortals are too fragile. Any disaster can kill us. Although we don't know who she is yet, since you are here to find her, does it mean that she is really missing?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know." Bai Zhiqian frowned and said coldly, "Now take me to the dock where she works."

Wang Wu refused, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do this. That's the Lei family's wharf, and not just anyone can enter it. Although you are from the Bai family, I'm afraid they won't give you this face."

."

The Lei family? Why was the Lei family involved again? But no matter what, she had to go and see.

"Take me there first, you don't have to worry about anything else." Bai Zhiqian didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and directly threw him a spiritual stone.

"Okay!"

He was just leading the way. Wang Wu naturally did not refuse again after receiving the spirit stone.
