Wanqi Siling
Chapter 552 Another One
Mingmei had mentioned the Enforcer once when she first entered the game, but after so much time had passed, she still hadn't encountered them.
[I don't think they didn't come in.]
Although Mingmei hadn't interacted with them much, and they often spoke informally, they were very reliable when it came to serious matters.
[Does the Host want to look for them?]
[How do you expect me to look like this?]
At Mingmei and Mei Jiu's age, they were always accompanied by their parents or trusted elders whenever they wanted to go out. How could they search?
[They're staying calm, haven't contacted us.]
Mingmei sat there watching Mei Jiu sulk because she couldn't go to the night market, not offering any comfort. After a while, there was another knock on the door. Mei Jiu immediately got up and saw Lu Xiaoyao leading in with a pile of fragrant street food.
"Wow!" Mei Jiu's eyes lit up instantly. Mingmei also stood up to let Lu Xiaoyao in. Lu Xiaoyao was naturally in a good mood after meeting Qi Hai Kui and the others earlier. Later, she received a message from the elder to bring some food back for Mingmei and the others.
She was happy to do these things when she was in a good mood and didn't resist at all.
"It's Fifth Elder, he sent me a message to bring you some food," Lu Xiaoyao said. Mei Jiu opened her mouth in surprise, while Mingmei smiled and looked at Mei Jiu with a playful expression.
Just now, Lu Xiaoyao had called Fifth Elder a bad old man, and now she probably regretted it.
"You've been at the night market for so long tonight?" Mingmei helped Lu Xiaoyao put the food on the table and started to pry.
"Yeah… I saw my brother and some friends." Lu Xiaoyao didn't think much about it, but she didn't want to talk about these things in detail, so she just said that.
"Oh? Did you see your future Dao companion?" Mei Jiu blurted out after swallowing a bite-sized fried bun, scaring Lu Xiaoyao so much that she didn't know what to say.
"It's that one… the inspector from the city, hehe~" Mei Jiu smiled, looking like a little adult gossiping. "You… aren't you a couple?"
Lu Xiaoyao was so embarrassed that she was blushing when Mei Jiu saw through her relationship with Julian!
What was it with being seen through and called out by a five or six-year-old child?
Mingmei also wanted to say, what's with you gossiping about these things when you're only five or six years old?
Although she was complaining in her heart, Mingmei herself also liked to eat melons (gossip). Was this the legendary family trait?
"Who… No! No! He didn't come today, he's busy!"
"Oh~~~" Mei Jiu deliberately drew out the sound, innocently eating snacks again. Mingmei took the opportunity to ask, "Then are you so happy tonight because you met long-lost friends?"
"Ah… well, yeah, kind of." Because she was too embarrassed to talk about her own affairs with the two little devils, Lu Xiaoyao could only go along with Mingmei's curiosity.
"I did meet two friends who I haven't seen in a long time. They came from Tiannan."
"Wow, Tiannan is so far away from here. Even advanced flying artifacts would take five or six days of continuous flight to reach."
After Mei Jiu finished speaking, Mingmei nodded in agreement, thinking that it was because the transmission location was too far away.
Doesn't that mean that many players could have been transported to the borders of the game map?
"But, what are people from Tiannan doing in Zhongzhou? Are they traveling?" Mingmei saw that Qi Hai Kui and Merui Ta looked disheveled and poorly dressed during the day, so she knew that something was wrong. So she said this and saw Lu Xiaoyao shake her head to deny it.
"No, sigh~ It's a pity." Lu Xiaoyao shook her head and said, "Something happened to their sect, so they came to Zhongzhou."
"What sect are they from? What happened?" Mei Jiu didn't say anything about helping. She felt that her sister seemed very curious about this matter, so she opened her mouth to help inquire.
"Wasn't it that evil cultivator? A few months ago, their sect and family were all wiped out." After Lu Xiaoyao finished speaking, she saw that the two little beans looked surprised, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh, these things are not your concern, little ones. Eat these while they're hot, they won't be good when they're cold."
"Which sect and family were destroyed?" Mingmei took the hot, crispy sesame ball that Lu Xiaoyao handed over, and couldn't help but ask before taking a bite.
"Um… their sect isn't considered famous in Tiannan, they are all ordinary small sects." Lu Xiaoyao thought about the sect and family that Qi Hai Kui and the others had mentioned earlier, and then said: "One is called Fengyu Ge (Wind and Rain Pavilion), and the family is the Jiu family of Yunluo City."
"Eh? Fengyu Ge (Wind and Rain Pavilion)?" Mei Jiu seemed to know something, and Mingmei looked at Mei Jiu with a puzzled expression.
"A few days ago, you and your mother went to Jibei City, and I followed my headmaster senior brother…" Mei Jiu frowned, thinking about what she had heard, "I seem to have heard my headmaster senior brother mention Fengyu Ge (Wind and Rain Pavilion)."
"Eh?" It was Lu Xiaoyao's turn to be surprised!
Even Qi Hai Kui, who came from Fengyu Ge (Wind and Rain Pavilion), didn't know much about his own sect. Of course, the main reason here was that the sect was destroyed as soon as he transmigrated, so there was really no way to explore anything, but how would the headmaster of Jingyun Mountain know about a small sect so far away in Tiannan?
"What did the headmaster say?"
"The headmaster senior brother said that he had also learned divination for a period of time when he was young, so he and Xie Zhen were good friends. He said that when they were young, they traveled around and went to Tiannan, where they rescued a cultivator with particularly good talent. Then Headmaster Xie Zhen divined for the other party, saying that the other party would definitely become famous in all directions in less than two hundred years."
"Senior brother said that at that time, he could only see that the other party would not be mediocre, but he didn't expect Headmaster Xie Zhen to even deduce the time."
"Uh? Then what happened later?"
"Later, after Jingyun Mountain closed its doors for a hundred years and reopened, Xie Zhen came to see the headmaster senior brother. When the two were chatting, they mentioned the matter they had said back then. As expected, that person, as Headmaster Xie Zhen had said, had transformed from a loose cultivator into the headmaster of a newly advanced sect in less than a hundred years."
"That person is the headmaster of Fengyu Ge (Wind and Rain Pavilion)?" Lu Xiaoyao interjected, and when she saw Mei Jiu nod in agreement, she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh… then that's too miserable, right? All the glory was destroyed in an instant, and the entire sect was wiped out…"
After Lu Xiaoyao sighed, Mingmei's heart sank again.
This is another one related to Xie Zhen's fortune-telling.
"What about the Jiu family? What do you know about the Jiu family of Yunluo City, Xiao Jiu?" Mingmei couldn't help but ask about another destroyed family, but Mei Jiu didn't know about this one.
