It was still early when Ning Jiasheng and Yun Shu arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, so they had to wait a while for the ceremony to begin. After all, ordinary people could not compare with cultivators in terms of speed.

The two of them did not hand the gift box to the attendant at the door for registration, but directly activated the breath-concealing technique and went in.

He placed the gift box among the various gifts that were already piled high inside.

Then the two of them waited on the beams in the lobby to observe the newcomers.

At exactly 5 p.m., the two newlyweds arrived at the hall and began to worship following the host's chanting.

Ning Jiasheng looked carefully at the city lord's family and the bride, and found nothing unusual.

She frowned, then used her spiritual sense to look around one by one, but got the same result.

She withdrew her consciousness and looked at Yun Shu, who also shook his head at her.

Ning Jiasheng looked at the sky outside the window and said thoughtfully:

"Let's explore the mansion first and gather outside the newlyweds' courtyard at 12:00."

After a pause, he continued calmly:

"If you still don't find anything, then we'll knock Lin unconscious and see what secrets Miss Jin has."

Yun Shu nodded. Since they were trapped here, it was their own fault for disturbing the bridal chamber.

The two men went out quietly, facing each other, and each of them explored half of the City Lord's Mansion.

Unfortunately, Ning Jiasheng had checked the warehouse and account books of the City Lord's Mansion, and even knew how many rat holes there were, but still found nothing.

Moreover, based on the account books and various government reports she had seen, City Lord Lin and County Magistrate Jin were indeed rare and good officials.

Ning Jiasheng raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the murderer who destroyed the city was someone else and had not appeared yet?

She shook her head and ran out of the newlyweds' yard.

In any case, there must be clues on Miss Jin.

The key is her resurrection from the dead and the fragrant scent of red plum blossoms on her body.

Perhaps she also had a treasure that concealed her identity, just like herself, so they didn't notice anything was wrong.

Ning Jiasheng met Yun Shu, who also had nothing. Without any further ado, they walked straight out of the new house.

Miss Jin was now writing in her pajamas under the candlelight. Mr. Lin was probably drinking too much and was washing up in the bathroom.

The two of them were just as the rumors said, practicing medicine independently outside, and there was no one to serve them in the house.

This made things more convenient for Ning Jiasheng and the others.

They immediately slipped in quietly. Ning Jiasheng kept the water in the bathtub warm and cast an illusion on Master Lin, letting him take a bath first.

Then he cast a barrier outside to cover the three of them, and Yun Shu directly used charm magic on Miss Jin.

"Second Mother, who saved you in August three years ago?"

Miss Jin looked at the two of them tenderly, smiled, and said slowly:

"I was walking on a vast white land, and a voice in the sky told me..."

It was exactly the same as what the boss lady told them.

Ning Jiasheng watched calmly from the side. She had taken off all her jewelry, and apart from the bright red nightgown, there was not a single piece of extra clothing on her.

After Miss Jin finished speaking, Ning Jiasheng gestured to Yun Shu to pause.

Then she used her spiritual power to tentatively search Miss Jin's body, but still did not find any treasure with spiritual energy or other aura. She really did not have any treasure on her body.

Even if it was a magical weapon, she could feel some reaction if she touched it with her spiritual power from such a close distance.

"excuse me."

After Ning Jiasheng finished speaking, he decided to go all out and knocked Miss Jin unconscious and put her on the bed. Then he used the secret method of Xuanling Sect to examine Miss Jin's body.

The inner demon saw it in his sea of consciousness, and rolled his eyes with the corners of his lips.

Ning Jiasheng felt the fluctuations in his sea of consciousness and cursed her, "You're sick!"

Then he concentrated on observing Miss Jin.

She noticed that there was a lifelike red plum blossom on Miss Jin's left breast, and there was also a bit of spiritual energy in her body.

But this little bit of spiritual energy only made her body stronger, and was not enough to start practicing.

There are many ordinary people living in the world of cultivation who have more spiritual energy in their bodies than her.

Other than that, he's just a completely ordinary person.

Ning Jiasheng removed the inner vision spell and lifted Miss Jin's collar a little bit so that Yun Shu could observe.

Yun Shu frowned slightly.

"This isn't a birthmark. It's a mark left by a demon possessing a mortal."

The first thing she and Ning Jiasheng guessed was the demon race, because if they could control plants, the first thing that came to mind was the plant-based demon race.

"But why can't she sense the aura of this flower demon? I couldn't detect it even through my spiritual sense and inner vision."

Yun Shu said in confusion. This mark confirmed their initial guess, but more questions arose.

This mark indicated that Miss Jin had been possessed by the plum blossom demon, but no matter how they examined her, the conclusion they came to was still that she was just an ordinary mortal.

It was already very late, and the two had no idea what to do. They had to restore everything, then go out and find an inn to stay in while thinking of a solution.
