Su Xi dismissed the irrelevant people and then looked at Mama Luo not far away.
To catch the thief, first catch the king. This Mama Luo was a good person to interrogate.
She knew that in these places where all sorts of people gathered, information flowed most easily. Therefore, since she had encountered Mama Luo, she naturally could not let the opportunity pass.
It wasn't everyone who had the chance to gather the information they desired. Moreover, Yi Hong Lou seemed to have a considerable number of people at the moment, so the information would surely be even more abundant.
Mama Luo, seeing Su Xi walking towards her, was so frightened that she plopped onto the ground. Her legs kicked frantically, trying to get away from Su Xi.
But she despaired to find that Su Xi's face was always before her, impossible to shake off.
She regretted it deeply now, why had she agreed to Chen Ruixin and entangled herself with such a huge problem as Su Xi? Now, she had no way to escape even if she wanted to.
"You're very afraid of me?" Su Xi looked at Mama Luo with a half-smile, waiting for her response.
"How could I be." Mama Luo forced a smile that was more unsightly than crying onto her face, remaining stiff and not knowing what to do.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you for now. I just want to get some information from you," Su Xi patted Mama Luo's head, offering simple reassurance.
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Mama Luo nodded incessantly like a chick pecking at rice, "Ask whatever you want to ask, I promise to tell you everything. Can you please stop touching me? I'm scared."
She had long understood that she couldn't escape from Su Xi's grasp, so she chose to obey obediently, hoping to suffer less.
Seeing Mama Luo cooperating so well, Su Xi smiled and asked the question she wanted to know, "Has anything strange happened in the city recently?"
Since this city was so rich in fire spiritual energy, it was definitely related to the Fire Spirit Pearl. Although the Fire Spirit Pearl could conceal one's appearance and true form, its inherent spiritual energy was difficult to hide.
Fire spiritual energy was the most prone to accidents.
Mama Luo had originally thought Su Xi was looking for one of her fallen sisters, but unexpectedly, she was looking for gossip. She was momentarily stunned.
Was it worth such a grand display just to inquire about gossip?
It almost scared her to death.
"Hmm?" Seeing Mama Luo remain silent, Su Xi showed an impatient expression.
The Heavenly Scar only had a month. Therefore, she absolutely could not exceed the time limit. Otherwise, the seal would break, and the human world would suffer.
She didn't care about her own death, but she didn't want to cause the death of others because of herself.
Sensing Su Xi's impatience, Mama Luo quickly said, "Yes, you know Miss Wu in the west of the city, although she appears pure and chaste on the surface, she actually receives more guests in private than our girls."
"Although Master Wang has eighteen concubines, he has never had a son, so he has recently become fond of men."
"And although I claim not to take clients, as long as the money is enough, I can also..."
Hearing Mama Luo babbling on about nonsense, Su Xi's forehead developed many dark lines.
While this gossip was intoxicating and captivating, was this what she wanted to hear?
She could agree, but the readers certainly couldn't. If the readers agreed, the editor definitely wouldn't.
"Stop, get to the point." Su Xi felt that if she continued listening, she would be led astray, so she decided to correct the course and let her experience the righteous life under the red flag.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Mama Luo swallowed and looked at Su Xi with a hint of admiration, then cleared her throat and said, "I really didn't expect you to be such a passionate person."
After saying that, Mama Luo began to speak again.
Hearing Mama Luo's inexplicable words, Su Xi didn't react at first. Later, after hearing what Mama Luo was muttering, she finally understood.
So that's what Mama Luo meant by her previous sentence.
Although she had seen a lot of romantic and sexual matters in her past life in the interstellar era, hearing Mama Luo describe it in such detail now, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
Not because of excitement, but because she clearly knew.
If the "censorship department" heard what Mama Luo said, not only would she suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, but she would also implicate the author, leading to the book being banned, and even inadvertently get summoned for questioning.
Therefore, for the sake of her future revenge, she had to stop it.
Su Xi immediately slapped Mama Luo on the head and reprimanded, "Shut up."
Hearing Su Xi's scolding, Mama Luo blinked and asked pitifully, "Miss, am I not telling it well?"
At this moment, Mama Luo thought of a bolder idea, which was that Su Xi didn't want to hear it, but rather wanted to see it for herself.
"No, you're telling it very well." Just hearing Mama Luo's words immediately brought images to Su Xi's mind, indicating that Mama Luo was very vivid. But that wasn't the point at all, was it?
"I want to ask if there have been any supernatural events in the city recently, not to listen to your gossip about men and women, women and women, men and men, and humans and beasts."
"Supernatural events?" Hearing Su Xi's hint, Mama Luo immediately pondered in her mind.
After a moment of thought, Mama Luo said hesitantly, "I don't know what you mean by supernatural events, but I do recall something."
"What?"
Hearing Mama Luo's words, Su Xi's interest was immediately piqued.
Mama Luo organized her thoughts and said, "Recently, the foolish son of Landlord Lin in the city center has suddenly recovered. Not only can he eat, sleep, run, and jump, but he can also recite the Four Books and Five Classics..."
Upon hearing Mama Luo's words, Su Xi's spirits immediately lifted.
She knew very well that a fool would not recover without a miraculous encounter.
Now that he had recovered so coincidentally, there must be something strange. It was likely the Fire Spirit Pearl's credit, which had caused the mutation.
"Where is Landlord Lin's place? Take me there." Since she had a clue, Su Xi naturally didn't want to miss it.
Hearing that Su Xi wanted to go find Landlord Lin, Mama Luo's face instantly turned pale, and she pushed back, "I'm not feeling well, and I'm also not familiar with the roads in the city. Chen Ruixin would definitely know."
Since Su Xi was brought by Chen Ruixin, she had to be taken away by him.
Chen Ruixin, who was pretending to be dead, immediately felt a series of dark lines appear on his forehead.
Why couldn't he even pretend to be dead? He had to be dragged into this.
Su Xi looked at Chen Ruixin and said, "I'll give you one chance to get up, otherwise, you'll lie on the ground forever."
"Hmm, Miss, what is it?" Chen Ruixin immediately got up from the ground, rubbing his sleepy eyes, pretending to know nothing.
Su Xi pointed to the door and said coldly, "Lead the way."
"Alright!"
Chen Ruixin readily agreed, turned, and walked out, looking like a hospitable old friend.
Landlord Lin was difficult to deal with, but Su Xi was even more so.
If he couldn't satisfy Su Xi, his life would be forfeit.
