Chapter 240 The Perfumer

Sima Songjin noticed a hint of doubt flashing in Shi Xiaxia's eyes.

He slowly began to speak, "You were the first to notice something amiss. There might be other things to come. Remember to report to your department promptly; this matter is of great importance."

Shi Xiaxia didn't speak immediately, but nodded thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Master Qingchuan, standing to the side, looked completely disapproving.

He shouted, "Such an important matter, and you just told this little brat so easily?! How much does she even know? What if she leaks it out?!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Songjin couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Little brat? You old fool, you're really incorrigible! Aren't you afraid of getting a beating?!"

Upon hearing Sima Songjin's words, Master Qingchuan's expression immediately turned awkward.

"I was just telling the truth!"

Master Qingchuan snorted coldly, still stubbornly saying, "Anyway, I look down on these little brats. They whine and whine like they're about to die when they get a little hurt. What's the use of them?!"

"What, have you forgotten how I beat you so badly before?" A female voice came over as soon as Master Qingchuan finished speaking.

Shi Xiaxia looked up and saw an elderly woman who looked like a noblewoman walk in with steady steps.

"Yo!"

Sima Songjin stood up and said with a smile, "Daoist Baifeng, what brings you here today?!"

Master Bai Feng, along with Sima Songjin and Master Qingchuan, are all veteran figures in the department.

"I heard that Qingyun had been arrested, so I rushed over to see what was going on. Later, I heard that a benefactor had helped to capture Qingyun."

Bai Feng glanced at Qingchuan Shangren: "That person is really quite incompetent. He's been trying to catch Qingyun for so long and still hasn't succeeded. Instead, he has to rely on other people's help!"

Master Qingchuan's expression was quite interesting; he pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

It's just that Master Bai Feng has a very fiery temper; he might resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

"This is Shi Xiaxia?!"

Seeing that Master Qingchuan dared not speak, Master Baifeng shifted his gaze with satisfaction and looked at Shi Xiaxia standing to the side: "The one outside who's drawing talismans in mid-air, that's you, isn't it?!"

"What?!" Master Qingchuan immediately stood up, his eyes wide.

"Shi Xiaxia can draw talismans in mid-air?!"

Master Qingchuan shouted, "Bai Feng, you're not joking, are you?!"

Shi Xiaxia looked at Master Qingchuan and said with a half-smile, "Master Qingchuan captured Master Qingyun twice, and the second time, Daoist Yunlu even broke the Spirit-Severing Array I set up. I just didn't show up because I found it troublesome. Why doesn't Master Qingchuan believe me now?!"

"you......?!"

Master Qingchuan was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

"It's amazing!"

Master Bai Feng exclaimed with admiration, "May I ask who your master is? Could you please introduce us?"

"Master is no longer in this world."

Shi Xiaxia said something ambiguous again, adding, "Besides, my master also instructed me not to use his name in the world."

"Is that so..." Master Bai Feng felt a little regretful.

"It must be some reclusive master!"

Master Qingchuan guessed, his face filled with longing: "I've never heard anyone mention it before!"

While Master Bai Feng and Master Qing Chuan were lamenting the loss, Sima Songjin kept looking at Shi Xiaxia with a slight smile on his face.

Shi Xiaxia knew that Sima Songjin was a strange person, so it was not surprising that he knew her true identity.

After all, the Encountering Immortals Sect and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were both things he had told himself.

Then, Shi Xiaxia ignored the three people's strange behavior and asked directly, "Minister, I want to ask if you know any Gu Masters? I would like to ask a Gu Master for help."

After Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, the expressions of Daoist Baifeng and Venerable Qingchuan immediately changed. They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Shi Xiaxia was even more puzzled.

Feng Youdao had mentioned the Gu Master in his department before, his expression was indescribable, and he didn't say much more.

But she was just asking them if they knew any other Gu Masters, so why did she still have that expression?!

“Xiaxia,”

When Master Bai Feng spoke, Xia Xia explained, "There is only one powerful Gu Master left."

Shi Xiaxia waited for them to continue talking.

“You know this person too?” Sima Songjin said with a smile.

"I know him?!"

Shi Xiaxia was only puzzled for a moment before she quickly realized, "It's Zhu Chen?!"

"It seems you've also been affected by his Gu worms." Daoist Bai Feng shook his head.

Shi Xiaxia didn't speak, but her gaze darkened slightly.

If it's him, then this is indeed a difficult situation.

The reason I was able to successfully kill the thing on Su Wusi last time was because of the help of "Yellow Millet Dream".

Leaving aside whether Shi Xiaxia can make a few more "Dream of the Yellow Millet", even if she could, she probably wouldn't be able to capture the "single-mindedness" within Shen Yi and Shen Yu's bodies with 100% accuracy.

Without a suitable Gu Master to help, Shi Xiaxia was temporarily at a loss.

I prepared to say goodbye to the group and leave the department.

"Hold on!"

Just as she was about to leave the office, Sima Songjin said to her again, "Xiaxia, something big has happened recently. The department has discovered quite a few people who have died suddenly, with no apparent problems on the surface of their bodies."

As he spoke, he took out a file and handed it to Shi Xiaxia, then continued, "I just found out that it has some connection with the owner of this perfume shop. I thought it would be easier for you to go in since you're a celebrity."

However, this task is of a high level, and you won't be going alone. The department will assign other people. Go and investigate first, and contact the department if you encounter any problems.

Shi Xiaxia opened it and took a look. Inside were the identities of the deceased and some investigation results.

Before they died, they had all met a perfumer named Qi Lin.

Shi Xiaxia quickly finished reading the file, and it turned out to be the same one as the banquet she was going to attend.

She then put the documents away and replied, "Okay."

Sima Songjin smiled at Shi Xiaxia, and seeing that she had agreed, he said, "There's nothing else here for now. You've just gotten back, so go and rest."

"Okay." Shi Xiaxia agreed and left.
