Master's Chief Disciple

"Master, don't be anxious. The immortal has just started the investigation. We have to give them some time." Seeing that his master was so restless, the housekeeper of the Shangguan family in Qingmeng County spoke to comfort him.

Shangguan Mozhu cried, "My daughter, how can I not be anxious? It's been ten days since she disappeared."

"It's unclear whether this person is dead or alive now."

After saying this, Shangguan Mozhu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

A place in Qingmeng County specially for rich businessmen and nobles to listen to music - at the entrance of Huxiang Pavilion.

Bai Yu stared at the inner room for a moment, then cleared his throat and said, "How about I go in and investigate? You two stay here?"

Wu Xiwen nodded and Nan Xi shook her head, "Not appropriate, let's pretend to go in together!"

After that, he snapped his fingers, and the three men did not change at all, but to outsiders they were just ordinary wealthy businessmen.

"Three distinguished guests, please come in!"

As soon as you enter the door, a mysterious floral scent hits you in the face.

The three of them looked around and found that in addition to the wealthy businessmen, there were also several independent cultivators.

At this time, a performance had begun on the stage. A woman in red was playing the guqin, and the remaining two women in white were dancing beside her.

Fortunately, the wandering cultivators around were all high-level cultivators and could not detect their face-changing skills.

Wu Xiwen used her spiritual sense to investigate the music hall and found nothing unusual.

He thought to himself, "This is where the daughter of the Shangguan family ended up. Why can't I sense any aura there?"

"Wait, this is..."

A talisman behind the stage caught her attention.

So he started a secret voice transmission to talk to the two of them, "There is something backstage. I will use the calming spell later. You can take the opportunity to go in and investigate."

His fingers mobilized spiritual power and rotated twice, and then everything around him seemed to be still.

The two looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and went backstage.

"This talisman is! A sealing talisman!"

"It's actually a talisman made by a semi-immortal cultivator! What is sealed behind it?"

"Don't move for now. Ask the independent cultivators here if there are any unusual situations recently." Wu Xiwen transmitted the message.

The two nodded in tacit understanding and returned to their original places. After listening to the music, they left.

I asked a few casual cultivators about the situation in the county. "Nothing unusual, except that the daughter of the Shangguan family has been missing for a while."

"Don't tell me, that daughter doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."

"Don't talk nonsense, or you might lose your life."

"Anyway, we are pretty peaceful here, haha."

A casual cultivator pushed the others to leave as quickly as possible, his movements being a bit rude.

After a simple thank you, the three decided to follow this group of wandering cultivators. They did not tell the truth!

Follow them to an inn called Youfu.

As they went up to the private room on the second floor, they were hidden by a faint barrier and no one else noticed their presence.

I sat in the private room next to them and could just hear their conversation.

"You two are courting death. Those three are not simple at first glance, and they are telling everything!"

"We didn't think about it at the time. Fortunately, you reminded us. Otherwise, we would be in danger."

"Ah, but it seems that the daughter of the Shangguan family eloped with some man without telling her family."

"You are just talking nonsense. She disappeared. How could she have eloped?"

"What you heard is wrong. This daughter is really not an ordinary person. She seems to be a cultivator!" The person who spoke lowered his voice, but the three people next door still heard it clearly.

"What's so strange about this? Aren't we monks too?"

"Do you remember the immortal cultivator who came here before? Although she killed the fox demon, it didn't take long for another one to come and cause trouble."

"Of course, shhh!"

"There are also rumors that the daughter of the Shangguan family is with that fox demon..."

One of the monks had not yet finished speaking when he was hit by a monk next to him, signaling him to stop talking.

Just then the waiter came to serve the dishes. "Please enjoy your meal!"

Nan Xi lay on the table, eyes dull, "It seems that this matter is very tricky. I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Wu Xiwen stroked her hair gently and said, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come out here, try the delicious food here!"

After saying this, they activated their spiritual power, transformed into several different appearances, and flashed to the innermost private room at the same time.

I rang the bell and the waiter came over. "What would you like to order?"

Before Wu Xiwen could speak, Nan Xi answered, "Give me one of all the dishes, soups and desserts you have here."

The waiter was immediately excited when he saw such a generous guest coming. "Okay, please wait a moment."

An hour later, the three people, who had eaten and drunk their fill, reviewed all the information they had collected.

Wu Xiwen and the other two returned to Huxiang Pavilion and found several key figures, and questioned them one by one using magic.

Wu Xiwen said, "It seems that Shangguan Mengrou often comes in and out of here, but why is there no trace left here?"

Nan Xi continued to mutter, "And could this be Shangguan Mengrou's doing? Besides, there are no high-level cultivators in this county."

Bai Yu said calmly, "I am very curious now, what is sealed in that talisman in the backstage!"

"Well, let's come back to check the situation at night. Maybe we can find something special."

The two nodded and agreed to Wu Xiwen's proposal.

As the sun sets, night falls.

The three men were wearing black cloaks and red masks, and were lying in ambush at three different locations.

Sure enough, a red shadow was captured.

Three people: "It's the breath of a semi-immortal cultivator!"

Wu Xiwen signaled the two of them to continue ambush outside, and she followed alone to check the situation.

Following the red shadow to the backstage, I saw her cast a spell and a red circular passage opened.

Wu Xiwen seized the opportunity and entered the passage.

After concealing his own breath, he hid behind a pillar.

"Pei Lang!"

The woman in red took off her red attire, revealing her original blue and white dress. She had her back to Wu Xiwen and her face could not be seen clearly.

He turned sideways to take a closer look and was shocked, "It's actually a demon!"

A handsome man in red clothes was trapped in a huge red chain, with six red fox tails behind him.

"The woman just called him Pei Lang, could their relationship be..."

The woman held his face with both hands, her eyes full of sadness.

"Pei Lang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you."

The voice was full of affection and a little tearful.

At this moment, there was a sound of chains, followed by a heavy gasp.

The man seemed to sense the woman's presence and slowly opened his eyes.

The pale lips moved slightly, "Meng Rou, don't cry."

"Pei Lang, you're awake, I..." Seeing this, the woman hugged him and sobbed softly.

After a moment, she let him go and asked nervously, "Why are you getting weaker and weaker? This shouldn't be the case."

After coughing a few times, he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

The woman was at a loss, and kept shouting, "No, why, why is it like this."

Close to his forehead, his eyeballs fell in strings.

"You can't save me. Humans and demons are born on different paths. Turn back, Meng Rou. If there is a next life, I must reincarnate as a human and stay with you forever."

"No, I don't want it. I don't want any next life. There will definitely be a way to save you."

After saying that, she hugged him and cried bitterly.

"Silly Mengrou, my demon core has been taken away, and there is nothing I can do to save the situation."

"No, I will find a way to get it back. I won't let you die."

"Don't do anything stupid. You can't beat him. Let go, Meng Rou."

"Wait for me. I must have you in this life. Don't forget that you still owe me a wish."

After saying that, she gently placed a kiss on his lips.

"Shangguan Mengrou, it's not worth it for me!" The man was exhausted and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"worth!"

After leaving two words, he turned and left, and remained unmoved no matter how he struggled and shouted.

After returning to the original place, he simply told Bai Yu and the others about the situation inside, and followed Shangguan Mengrou all the way.

Wu Xiwen and the others never imagined that Shangguan Mengrou, a human cultivator, would actually fall in love with a demon. This was simply unprecedented and unbelievable.
