I'm a passerby, I'm the daughter of God

Shen Linxi walked forward cautiously and knocked gently on the slightly rustic wooden door. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.

He was an elderly man, wearing a wrinkled, washed-out cloth. He held a cane in his hand, and walked with a trembling, unsteady gait. It seemed as if the burden of time had bent his once upright spine, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of life.

With a slight "creaking" sound, the old man slowly pushed open the door and looked at Shen Linxi with a bit of doubt and scrutiny. Shen Linxi met the old man's gaze and said with a smile: "Hello, old man! We are disciples of Lingtian Sect and are sorry to come to visit..."

The old man held the cane with trembling hands, and gently supported Shen Linxi with one hand. He wanted to grab him but was afraid of being rude: "Are you the immortal master of Lingtian Sect?"

"That's right." Then Shen Linxi took out the Lingtian Sect's direct disciple card and handed it to the old man.

The old man was just an ordinary citizen, he had never seen such a scene before, so he believed it immediately: "The room is simple... Please come in first."

Two strong men came up to him and asked, "Dad, what is this?"

"Come here quickly, this is Lingtian Sect's Immortal Master."

Shen Linxi didn't like dealing with this kind of situation, so he went straight to the point: "We are here today to investigate the missing baby case. Is there a baby missing in your family?"

At this time, a woman rushed out with tears streaming down her face and immediately knelt down: "Please, two immortal masters, save my son..."

Chi Yue waved her hand and pulled the kneeling lady up with a force: "Speak slowly."

The woman's eyes were filled with sadness, but she pretended to be calm: "My child was born only a few days ago. I had just finished feeding him and was coaxing him to sleep. I fell asleep too, but when I woke up, he was gone and I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked."

Chi Yue looked around but found nothing. Is the mastermind behind this so cautious?

I checked a few more houses, and they were all similar, all of them had lost newborn babies. I checked inside and out, but there were no clues.

The two returned to the Qiu Mansion with nothing.

Passing by the rockery, I heard a soft voice: "Cousin, take the medicine, you haven't recovered yet."

The man shook his head: "Leave it alone."

The woman wept softly: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me...cousin, please hit me."

The woman put the man's hand on her face, and the man sighed softly: "It's all over..."

"But, cousin, your legs..."

"It's all my own fault, Qinlan, please go now."

"You want to chase me away? Cousin, it's my fault. It's my fault that I like you. I just want to be with you. I don't want anything else..."

"I can't marry you. Li Luo is my only wife."

"I...I know...I never dared to have any delusions..."

Chi Yue and her senior brother walked back to the courtyard.

"Junior Sister, it seems that the head of the Qiu family is not a simple person."

"No matter if it's simple or not, I just don't know if it has anything to do with the missing baby case, and what case he's trying to hide."

I walked on the stone table in front of the door with doubts, looked up and saw the moon was really round, and the wind was rustling in the bamboo forest.

Chi Yue frowned and looked towards the bamboo forest, sensing a tiny ghost aura: "Come out, or I'll go in and arrest you, you're no match for me."

A white shadow floated out from the bamboo forest. Chi Yue looked at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a white shirt and looked ghostly, with a cold look in her eyes.

The second brother also sensed the ghostly aura, went out of the house, and saw Xiaowu standing face to face with a female ghost.

Chi Yue asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the Qiu Mansion?"

The female ghost said indifferently: "My name is Li Luo."

Why does this name sound so familiar? Oh, the head of the Qiu family mentioned this name when I was eavesdropping just now.

"What is your relationship with this Qiu family master?"

"I am his Taoist partner."

"You cried in the middle of the night?"

"Never."

Second Senior Brother Shen Linxi crossed his arms and said, "You are the one who did the missing baby case in the city? Why did you capture so many babies?"

The female ghost was at a loss for a moment, then shook her head: "It's not me. After I became a ghost, I have been in the Qiu Mansion and have never left."

Chi Yue closed her eyes and silently recited the formula. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a golden light in her eyes and saw that there was no murderous aura on this woman except for the ghost aura.

Chi Yue shook her head at the second senior brother, and the second senior brother understood what she meant, it seemed that it was not her.

"How did you die? And how did you become a ghost cultivator?"

Li Luo still had a cold look on her face, as if she didn't want to say more, so they didn't want to force her.

The next day.

Chi Yue was strolling around the Qiu residence when she saw a woman in goose yellow clothes, carrying a plate of cakes, walking towards her.

He bowed slightly: "Are you going out, fellow Daoist?"

Chi Yue looked at the woman, who was only about 20 years old and had practiced Qigong. She looked very weak and delicate, like a beautiful girl from a small family. Any man would feel pity for her. Chi Yue suddenly thought of Jiang Ranran. In this comparison, Jiang Ranran was still more beautiful. After all, if she was the heroine, the author would definitely give her a high appearance. Looking at the girl in front of him, she also had some good looks.

"Oh, I was just walking around. I didn't want to get lost. The Qiu Mansion is quite big."

"Excuse me, our Qiu Mansion is the largest mansion besides the City Lord's Mansion. Daoist friend, you want to go back to the courtyard. I will take you there."

Chi Yue nodded: "Thank you for your help, I don't even know your name."

"My name is Su Qinlan. To be honest, I am not very talented and I am only in the middle stage of Qi training now."

"You are too modest. You look beautiful, but you are almost 30 years old, and you are already in the Qi training stage..."

Su Qinlan's face changed. No one would not care about age and cultivation. Even the immortal female cultivator was stunned after hearing this. But she still forced a smile.

As Chi Yue walked, she said, "Miss Qinlan, your last name is Su. I wonder how you and Patriarch Qiu got along?"

Su Qinlan said shyly: "I am An Lang's cousin. We grew up together. My family...my family was unfortunately in trouble, so I came to stay at my cousin's house temporarily..."

Oh no, looking at the hostess's demeanor, I'm afraid she has long wanted to become the lady of the Qiu family.

"I see. Miss Qinlan has managed the Qiu Mansion in perfect order. When I first entered the mansion, I thought you were the wife of the head of the Qiu family."

Su Qinlan looked even more shy, with a smile on her face, as if to say you are so bad, and then she ran away.

This... is hard to judge. The thoughts are written on the face. Anyone with eyes can see it. And what's the point of leading me half the way? I'm a woman. What's the point of being a spoiled child to me? I don't feel anything at all. I don't even understand it. Chi Yue was about to turn around and continue walking. No, why is there a demonic aura? It's so faint, almost imperceptible, where did it come from?

I walked around a few times, but nothing. I sent out my spiritual sense to explore the entire Qiu Mansion, but still nothing. Strange, was it an illusion? This shouldn't be the case.
