The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Maybe he had his own reasons, or maybe he felt that he was not worthy of her, but since she had rejected him, there was no reason for her to keep pestering him.

It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, after all, he was really moved at that time.

"So maybe I encountered the same thing as the eldest young master?" Sun Youlin acted very distraught.

Whenever he thought about the fact that there was still no news about his senior sister, he acted very realistically, acting like himself.

Seeing Sun Youlin's attitude, the Jin family's master consoled him, "Nine out of ten, you cultivators should have the means to find people. When you find her, you can ask her about it."

Sun Youlin nodded in agreement.

Sheng Ze said at this time: "Since the Jin family has no young lady, then I am sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave. They had already gotten the result they wanted to know, so there was no need to stay here.

The master of the Jin family said quickly, "Please stay, Immortal. This longevity pill..."

The Jin family's master wanted to say he would buy them himself, but before he could open his mouth, Ling Yan'er said, "These longevity pills are our apology for our hasty visit."

She didn't really care about these pills, so she didn't think it was a big deal to use them as a favor. Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin didn't feel bad about giving them things that weren't theirs. Sheng Ze then said, "I originally thought my junior brother would be able to find a happy ending, but I didn't expect it to be a waste of time. These things won't be of much use to us, they can only extend our lifespan by ten years. I'll give them to you as a gift since they are destined for you."

After all, they were all very young, and it was not yet time for them to use the longevity elixir. Of course, considering their age, they had to first exclude Dongfang Zichu, who had been lying in Ling Yan'er's arms without saying a word.

He alone can raise the average age of several people by dozens of times.

"Thank you very much for the medicine, Immortal." The master of the Jin family was overjoyed.

Ling Yan'er and the others left the Jin family. She used her mobile phone to check the layout of the Jin family. Judging from the decorations of each room, there was indeed no room that looked like the young lady's residence.

"It seems that the Jin family really has no young lady, nor is there a lost young lady." Ling Yan'er said as she walked on the road.

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin also nodded and said, "Faced with the temptation of the longevity elixir, I think the people of the Jin family will not lie and tell the truth. If there is a way, it is impossible not to get married."

After all, they knew how tempting the longevity elixir was to mortals. Not only mortals, but also cultivators whose time was approaching could not resist the temptation of the longevity elixir.

It’s just that people generally look down on a mere ten-year life-extending pill, after all, there are also hundred-year life-extending pills.

The longevity pill cannot be taken unlimitedly. A person can only take three pills at most, and the effectiveness of the next pill will be halved with each pill taken.

Dongfang Zichu, however, had a different opinion: "Do you really believe what they say?"

"Hmm?" Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin both looked at Dongfang Zichu in Ling Yan'er's arms.

Dongfang Zichu said, "Don't you realize you're all being led astray by Master Jin? He first said he didn't have a daughter, then asked if you spent money on that girl. If you had a sweetheart, unless you were stingy, you would definitely spend money to make her happy. Then he used his son's similar experience as evidence, and you'll believe his words without a doubt."

Ling Yan'er, Shengze and Sun Youlin were all shocked by Dongfang Zichu, because after recalling the past, they realized that ever since they entered the Jin family, they had indeed been led by the words of the master of the Jin family.

No wonder he can become the richest man. With his eloquence, you can tell at a glance that he is a very successful businessman.

"If what the eldest son of the Jin family said is fake, we can find out immediately after investigating. He wouldn't use this to deceive us, right?" Ling Yan'er said unconvinced.

"This may be true." Sheng Ze said: "The expression of the eldest young master of the Jin family does not seem to be fake, but it is really too early to draw a conclusion whether the Jin family has a young lady."

After all, it is the truth and the falsehood that make it more difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

After Dongfang Zichu's reminder, Sheng Ze also recalled many doubts in the Jin family.

"Why?" Sun Youlin asked.

"Because the Jin family's attitude is too calm." Sheng Ze said: "A normal family, without a daughter, shouldn't be so calm when someone comes to propose marriage."

Although the master of the Jin family looked embarrassed, he did not show any surprise. Even his sons were calm when they heard the news.

If they really don't have a daughter, they shouldn't be so calm. At least they would think they have recognized the wrong person or are joking.

"I'll go back and find them." Sun Youlin stopped and said.

"Even if you go back now, will they tell the truth?" Sheng Ze asked.

The rumor that they only have five sons is that you won't be able to find out even if you ask, and they will definitely not tell the truth that they have daughters.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that his family has only had sons.

Sun Youlin scratched his head: "Oh, right, what should we do then?"

Ling Yan'er said, "Master Jin seems to really want you to find that woman."

Whether the purpose of guiding Sun Youlin's woman was to defraud money, or using the example of the woman who cheated the eldest son of the Jin family and reporting her to the police and having her put in jail, the purpose was to make them do the same thing.

He wanted Sun Youlin to find that woman.

Sun Youlin and Sheng Ze recalled the words of the master of the Jin family and agreed with Ling Yan'er.

Sun Youlin wondered, "Why would he do that?"

Ling Yan'er frowned and thought for a long time before she said, "Do you think there is another possibility?"

"What's possible?" Dongfang Zichu asked flatteringly.

Ling Yan'er had just thought of this, thanks to the many novels and TV dramas she had read. She said, "The Jin family did have a third daughter, but the day she disappeared, all traces of her existence were erased. Although the Jin family still remembers her, they can't find her."

That doesn't make sense. If they remembered, why didn't they ask for help when they came to their door?

Ling Yan'er stopped talking when she thought of this.

Sheng Ze, however, somewhat agreed with Ling Yan'er's thoughts: "It is indeed possible. Perhaps the Jin family has actually forgotten her, but still wants to find her."

"And that's why some people say there's no Third Miss in the Jin family," Sun Youlin said. "But who has the ability to erase all traces of a person's existence? Even if they capture her, there will always be items she used, clothes and jewelry she wore. You can't erase all of that, right?"

"Perhaps there really is someone this capable in Furong City," Ling Yan'er said. "The third daughter of the Jin family is the richest family in Furong City. Anyone who has come into contact with the third daughter of the Jin family is likely no ordinary person, so they have all forgotten her existence. However, the peddlers and hawkers who have never come into contact with her remember this person."

"Since everyone has forgotten, how did those three people you heard discussing her disappearance that day know about it?" This is what Sheng Ze is puzzled about.

Since those who had gotten along with her had forgotten about it, how could the people who did odd jobs in the courtyard of the Third Miss of the Jin family still remember what Ling Yan'er heard at that time?

But Ling Yan'er had a different opinion: "Is there another possibility? Those three people are actually missing. They were clearly there, but the waiter couldn't see them. I clearly saw him paying them, but the waiter forgot about it after a while."

This is also what Ling Yan'er can't understand. You say they are missing, they do exist, and it has no impact on your life. When they are there, it is very natural to call the waiter to check out. But after they left, the waiter quickly forgot the existence of those three people.

"Are they missing too?" Sheng Ze pondered. "We found out that the missing ones were all girls, weren't they? Aren't those three men?"

"Perhaps 'disappearing' isn't the right word to describe it," Ling Yan'er said. "They'll be quickly forgotten after they're gone, which is even scarier than disappearing."

If this is true, then this matter is a bit weird.

Shengze and his friends thought about it.

"What is going on?" Sun Youlin scratched his head in distress. He hated using his brain the most.

Ling Yan'er couldn't explain exactly what was going on. Before, whether it was the secret realm or the matter of the magic cultivators in Lingyun City, there would be a side quest in the game, and the quest description at least gave her a direction to look for.

However, no mission has been issued regarding the Furong City matter.

Is it because she took the initiative to get involved in this matter that the task was not issued?

Ling Yan'er suddenly looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Is it true that one of your senior sisters is missing?"

Although he didn't know why Ling Yan'er suddenly asked this, Sun Youlin still said, "Of course it's true! If it weren't for the fact that Senior Sister disappeared, we wouldn't bother with such a thing. We still have invitations to send, and we have invitations to send to two other sects."

It’s not that they are indifferent, but if no one asks for help, they cannot easily interfere in the affairs of mortals, so as not to be affected by cause and effect.

Ling Yan'er said curiously, "Since you remember, then if the Jin family really had a young lady, they wouldn't have forgotten."

With Ling Yan'er's words, Dongfang Zichu's previous speculation would be overturned.

In other words, the Jin family does not have a young lady. After inquiring about the Jin family that I heard about before, this is indeed the only one who can be called a member of the Jin family.

Others with the surname Jin were also from ordinary families and could not afford maids.

Things have once again reached a deadlock, and no one knows what the problem is.

It's neither this nor that.

Everyone fell silent, and when they returned to the sect's headquarters, no one came up with any new ideas.

At night, Ling Yan'er had another dream.

This time she was not in the wedding hall. As soon as she fell into the dream, she was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was still dressed in red and covered with a red veil. This veil was the same as the one she had dreamed of before. It was a very solid piece of cloth that blocked her vision. Only a small area with a gap could be seen.

Ling Yan'er wanted to take off her veil, but found that she couldn't move at all, just like before, and could only sit stiffly.

Ling Yan'er thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why she had this dream. Moreover, she was being sent to the bridal chamber, but she didn't hate getting married, right?

Isn't it said that you don't know you are dreaming when you are dreaming? But now she knows clearly that she is dreaming.

Why did she dream about her wedding scene? Even if she was getting married, she liked Chinese-style weddings, but that didn’t include sitting on the wedding bed and waiting.

Although she couldn't see, Ling Yan'er somehow knew that she was in the bridal chamber and was sitting on the edge of the bridal bed.

After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard a creaking sound and the sound of the door being pushed open, but Ling Yan'er did not hear any footsteps.

Only a hoarse voice was heard saying, "Please, groom, lift the bride's veil and drink from the wedding wine together."

Although there were no footsteps, Ling Yan'er felt that someone was standing in front of her. A golden scale rod came into view, lifting her veil.

Ling Yan'er's vision suddenly widened. When she raised her head, she saw a creepy face. No wonder she didn't hear the footsteps just now. The groom who lifted her veil was a paper man!

The face was painted with exaggerated red and the corners of the mouth were weirdly upturned. Ling Yan'er woke up with a start.

Ling Yan'er suddenly opened her eyes and felt her heart beating loudly.

Getting married is exciting enough, but I didn’t expect to marry a paper man. It’s even more exciting!

Ling Yan'er took a few deep breaths, and her heart stopped beating so violently.

She let out a long breath and heard Dongfang Zichu's question: "Having a nightmare again?"

"Yes," Ling Yan'er said, "That day I dreamed of getting married, and today I dreamed of being in the bridal chamber. I waited for a long time before the groom came and lifted the veil. You can't imagine who the groom is."

"Is it someone we know?" Dongfang Zichu guessed.

"That's not the case." Ling Yan'er didn't expect Dongfang Zichu to guess that, so she said directly, "It was a paper doll, a paper doll with blush painted on it. I was almost scared to death when I saw it."

"paper man?"

"That's right." Ling Yan'er said speechlessly, "Forget about the paper figurine. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit more handsome, but it has to be the kind that's not even as good-looking as a child's drawing. It's ok that one eye is bigger than the other, and the blush on the face is uneven, like it was spilt blood."

Dongfang Zichu was speechless. How could you be so picky about the appearance of a paper figurine? "That's all?"

"That's not enough! What can a paper man do? I even heard they were supposed to drink a cup of wine together. How can a paper man drink it?" Ling Yan'er rolled her eyes silently: "I was sobered when I saw that face."

Dongfang Zichu had no idea how frightened Ling Yan'er was: "How scary can a paper figurine be?"

Isn't it just a little weird in the drawing? That just means the person who made it is not good enough.

The next morning, Ling Yan'er woke up and saw Dongfang Zichu standing next to her pillow as if he were facing a great enemy.

Ling Yan'er sat up and looked, and sure enough, there was a peach blossom beside her pillow.

The peach blossom branch was only as long as a palm, with an unopened bud at the top and five gorgeous flowers behind it.

Dongfang Zichu said to Ling Yan'er, "I saw it appear suddenly with my own eyes. Just as you were about to wake up, this branch of peach blossoms appeared beside your pillow."

Ling Yan'er picked up the branch. No matter how she looked at it, it was a fresh branch that had just been picked from the peach tree.
