When Yu Nian came out of the room, it was almost dusk, and someone from the Yun Mansion happened to come and deliver food.

What she didn't expect was that Yun Yan also came with them.

"Sister Yu Nian, I'm here to have dinner with you. We have big crabs today!" Yun Yan took two steps at a time and threw herself into Yu Nian's arms.

"Be good," Yu Nian picked up Yun Yan and walked towards the dining table, "Sister will peel the crab for you later."

Yu Nian gently placed Yun Yan on the stool and moved the dishes towards her.

Yun Yan supported her head with one hand and picked up the food with chopsticks in the other, picking up food at random. It was obvious that she was not in a very good mood.

The crabs sent from the Yun Mansion were very large and bright in color. Moreover, the steamed crabs had all five flavors without adding salt or vinegar, and were full of flavor. Just looking at them made people salivate.

Yu Nian picked up the largest and fattest crab, and with a slight vibration of spiritual power in his hand, he took out the crab meat and crab roe intact and handed it to Yun Yan.

"Thank you, Sister Yu Nian."

"You're welcome. Come to think of it, Xiaoyan, why did you think of having dinner with us today?" Yu Nian asked casually.

"Because my parents suddenly had something to do, there was no one to eat with me." When she said this, Yun Yan immediately put down her chopsticks and boasted, "Sister Yu Nian, you don't know, my second uncle came in a hurry, and my father didn't say a few words to him. He immediately took a large number of Yun family disciples out. It was like the sky was falling."

For Yun Zhan to attach so much importance to this matter, it must not be a simple one. It might be related to the evil cultivator who is causing trouble.

Yu Nian immediately made a plan: "Xiao Yan, the Flower God Festival is approaching, and it's understandable that Brother Yun is too busy. After dinner, we will take you back."

After being interrupted like this, none of the three of them had any appetite for the meal. After quickly finishing their meal, they took Yun Yan back to the Yun Mansion.

Yu Nian casually grabbed a Yun family disciple and asked, "Why isn't Island Master Yun here? What happened?"

"Miss Yu, you may not know that several young men and women have disappeared on the island in the past two days, including some cultivators from outside. After receiving the news, the island master immediately posted a safety notice on the island and sent disciples of the Yun family to patrol day and night. He is currently personally investigating the matter."

"I see, then we'll go help too."

After Yu Nian settled Yun Yan, he took Ling Cang out to look for her, and also called on the disciples of Yaoguang Sect, as they thought it would be a waste to use their free labor.

After such an investigation, we found that in the past few days, a surprising number of young boys and girls had gone missing.

What's even more terrible is that Flower God Island is very large and has a large population. It does not have a computer system like in later generations, so population screening is really difficult and no one knows how many people are left.

The population investigation work is proceeding with great difficulty. Every time a missing case is discovered, people become more worried.

The next morning, Yu Nian and his group, along with Yun Zhan, were discussing their findings from last night.

This morning, the thief took action again, sneaking into a private house. After being discovered by the patrolling monks, the thief ran away.

Everyone asked the only woman who was rescued whether she had seen the thief's appearance and any other clues. The woman could only sob and cry, and could not even speak. In the end, she locked herself in the room.

"This woman is just a mortal, and a lady from a wealthy family who never leaves the house. After this disaster, she is so scared that she can't ask anything." Yun Zhan sat on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, saying a little depressed.

"That woman is the only one who has seen the thief's appearance. She won't speak on her own initiative. How can we pry her mouth open?" A young disciple of the Yaoguang Sect asked in confusion.

Yu Nian pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

"It's better than..."

As soon as Yu Nian opened her mouth, everyone looked at her.

"How about I pretend to be a thief tonight and go to that woman's house to test the waters. See if I can get anything out of her." Yu Nian looked at everyone with an inquiring look.

"Master has become a lot smarter recently." Ling Cang sneered, and his tone was extremely cold, not sounding like a compliment at all.

Yu Nian: Actually, she has always been very smart, okay?

The atmosphere at the scene was strangely awkward until Yun Zhan spoke up, breaking the deadlock. "Actually, what Miss Yu said makes sense. At least you can tell the thief's gender..."

Before Yun Zhan finished speaking, two pairs of eyes turned to him.

One was a sparkling look from Yu Nian, and the other was an extremely cold look from Ling Cang.

Yu Nian: See, some people agree with her approach!

Yun Zhan swallowed his saliva and continued dryly, "However, we need to choose someone else to play the thief."

Sure enough, the next second Yun Zhan felt that the oppression and coldness on his body were much lighter, and Yun Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Who should I choose?

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Muyu, who had not spoken a word.

Because we don't know the thief's level of cultivation, it would be best if this person has a higher level of cultivation and is more agile. He should also be smart enough to be able to adapt to unexpected situations. Most importantly, this person must not have a vicious apprentice.

Among all the people, Xiao Muyu was the one chosen by heaven to play the thief.

Yun Zhan looked at Xiao Muyu, who had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm and had a very pleasing and handsome appearance, and felt that this person was the perfect fit.

Xiao Muyu had no expression on his face and nodded rather stiffly.

At night, Xiao Muyu put on his nightgown and went to the yard of the woman's house. He climbed onto the beam and waited for the opportunity.

Yu Nian and the others were waiting outside the yard.

"Buzz~Buzz...Ong~Buzz..."

"Clap!"

"Hiss..." Xiao Muyu touched his right cheek and couldn't help cursing God.

Damn, why are there so many mosquitoes at night? Xiao Muyu calculated that during the time he climbed onto the roof, he had pinched and slapped hundreds of mosquitoes to death.

Moreover, these mosquitoes are extremely poisonous and can even bite through the monks' skin, leaving small red, swollen and extremely itchy bumps.

The most important thing is that he can't swat a mosquito in a blatant, lively and open manner, for fear of making a big noise.

Xiao Muyu continued to lie on the beam, feeling frustrated and angry as he waited for the woman's maid to go down and rest.

Suddenly, Xiao Muyu discovered that a mosquito had actually broken through his spiritual power shield and was quietly staying on the back of his hand to feast on it. At that moment, a hand reached out to help him slap the mosquito to death.

Xiao Muyu immediately felt grateful: "Thank you."

Number three, who was also wearing night clothes and a black mask on his face, smiled and said, "No thanks, no thanks. I raised these mosquitoes."

Only then did Xiao Muyu realize that something was wrong and felt a chill down his spine.

In the middle of the night, how could there be someone else on the beam besides him?!
