After meeting Brother Lin, the two-person trip turned into a three-person trip.
They searched the remaining few houses but didn't get any clues.
Brother Lin couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Cheng, could it be that you remembered it wrongly? The girl you are looking for is not in the brothel, or is she not in the brothel in Xuanyang City?"
Cheng Shuyan shook her head to deny it. She had a deep memory of the day when Cheng Xiaomei was sold, and was sure that what Cheng Dani heard was about the brothel in Xuanyang City.
"Could it be the brothel we visited earlier? The madams were afraid we'd get into trouble, so they didn't tell us the truth."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Lin and the others thought it was possible, and the three of them immediately returned to the brothel that Cheng Shuyan and the others had visited before to continue inquiring.
Until we reached the third one, Ruyi Pavilion.
Wen Yu, the top lady of Ruyi Pavilion, has been in Ruyi Pavilion for five years.
When the three of them went there, they happened to meet Wen Yu who was free, so they asked her to play the piano to accompany them.
There was a lot of gold and silver in the old Taoist's storage bag. I think they were all obtained by bandits when they intercepted merchant caravans in the past. Now they have become the property of Cheng Shuyan.
She was not stingy and threw a silver ingot of about twenty taels to the madam. The madam immediately smiled happily and called the servant to lead the three people into the interrogation room.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but laugh at himself. Cheng Dani was once sold by her biological parents for ten taels of silver.
Now, only a month has passed, and Cheng Shuyan can already throw out twenty taels of silver to "visit a brothel" without a care. Cheng Dani's life is really "worthless".
Inside the room, just as the three of them sat down, a graceful lady walked out from behind the screen holding a zither.
"What kind of music would you three like to hear?"
Wen Yu's eyes were full of affection as he glanced at the three people one by one. When he looked at Cheng Shuyan, the surprise in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"Miss Wen Yu, let's be frank. We are not here to listen to music today. We want to ask you about someone."
Cheng Shuyan took out the silver ingot again and placed it on the table in front of him.
Seeing this, Wen Yu put down the zither, sat in front of the three people, picked up the silver ingot on the table, and smiled coquettishly.
"Miss, are you here to look for Shuang'er? Are you her sister?"
Cheng Shuyan was not surprised that Wen Yu could tell that she was a girl, but Brother Lin next to him was a little bit unbelievable.
Shuang'er?"
"Oh, you probably don't know her name here. It's the name my mother gave her. However, you and Shuang'er look eight points similar, so I dare to guess that you and Shuang'er should be sisters."
"That's right, Miss Wenyu. Since you said that, you must know the whereabouts of my sister. Please tell me. If you can find my sister, I will reward you handsomely."
Hearing this, Wen Yu suddenly laughed mockingly, "If Shuang'er knew her sister was looking for her, she would definitely be delighted. What a pity! If only the girl had come a month earlier, it would have been much better."
Such a sensible little girl has been waiting here for so many years, hoping that her sister would come to find her, but she didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on her!
It was only a month away for her to see her long-cherished sister."
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Shuyan immediately had a bad feeling: "What do you mean by this, young lady?"
"A month ago, when she was practicing piano here, a man in black appeared out of nowhere and took Shuang'er away."
Brother Lin looked at Cheng Shuyan and the others with a strange expression. He knew that they were "immortals", so he naturally inferred from Wen Yu's words that those who could appear out of thin air might be "immortals" like them?
Cheng Shuyan and Shen Yunjian naturally thought of this as well. They looked at each other and felt worried.
If he is really a cultivator, Cheng Shuyan’s chance of finding him is too small, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I wonder if you still remember what that person looks like?" Cheng Shuyan promised Cheng Dani that he would help her rescue her sister. Although the person has not been found yet, it would be great if there were some clues.
"Of course I remember. After all, I have never seen such a handsome man."
Wen Yu's eyes were filled with affection, and then he stood up, took out one of the scrolls beside him and handed it to Cheng Shuyan.
"That's it. In order to remember his appearance, I specially asked an artist to draw this portrait."
"Thank you."
After expressing his gratitude, Cheng Shuyan unfolded the scroll. The man in the painting looked to be no more than thirty years old. He was dressed in black, with sharp eyes and a kind of majesty between his brows that only belonged to a superior.
Shen Yunjian, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the portrait: "Impossible! How could it be him?"
The incredulous tone made Cheng Shuyan more expectant: "Do you know him?"
Shen Yunjian opened his mouth but said nothing.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan did not ask any more questions. After leaving some silver as a thank you gift, the three of them left the brothel.
"Brother Lin, thank you so much for helping me these past two days. This money..."
"No need, no need!" Seeing Cheng Shuyan take out the silver, Brother Lin waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm helping you just because I feel I have a good relationship with you. Miss Cheng... Miss Cheng, there's no need to be so polite."
He looked at the silver that appeared out of thin air in Cheng Shuyan's hand, and Cheng Shuyan did not miss the envy and yearning in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, she put away the silver and a booklet appeared in her hand: "To be honest, Brother Lin, I have only been practicing for a short time and know very little about the cultivation of immortals. I cannot guide you into the Tao.
This technique was taught to me by the old Taoist the other day. I am now giving it to you. How you use it is entirely up to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Brother Lin's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to kneel down to her. Fortunately, Shen Yunjian was quick to support him.
"Thank you so much, Miss Cheng. I understand your thoughts. It is my good fortune to be able to obtain this technique. Regardless of whether I can practice it or not, I will never forget your kindness in giving me this technique today!"
……
Cheng Shuyan and Shen Yunjian returned to the inn where they were staying, and Shen Yunjian couldn't wait to follow her back to the room.
After closing the door, he carefully confirmed the safety of the room before sitting down next to Cheng Shuyan and whispering, "Wenyu, the person in the portrait looks at least 80% similar to a senior from the Demon Clan!"
His solemn look, coupled with the fact that the "Demon Clan Senior" sounded like someone not to be trifled with, made Cheng Shuyan nervous.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure. Logically, that senior should be in seclusion right now. How could he inexplicably appear in the mortal world and take your sister away?"
"If it's really the person you mentioned... Senior, my sister's safety..."
“I don’t know about that. After all, most demons are moody, not to mention that he is a famous boss of the demon clan.
But you don't have to worry too much. I heard that the world of immortal cultivation might be changing. Recently, many secluded seniors have appeared in search of successors. Perhaps your sister is so talented that one of them has chosen her to inherit their legacy."
"I hope so!"
Cheng Shuyan sighed worriedly.
Now she has got the clue, but with her current ability, can she continue to investigate it?
