After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

After two days of flying on swords, the group finally arrived at the capital of Beiling Kingdom.

Except for Si Mufeng and Lin Xingfan, the other three also decided to go to the family with Xia Ling.

After arriving in the city, although they all changed into low-key ordinary clothes and put their swords into the storage rings, many people still cast their hot eyes on them. Most of them were discussing their appearance and family background.

Lin Xingfan had just arrived in the human world, and everything he saw was new to him. "Junior sister, how long will it take to get to your house?"

"Almost there." Xia Ling walked in the direction he remembered.

The reason why Yue Chenzhi chose to come to Beiling Kingdom to investigate was because more people disappeared in the capital than anywhere else.

In addition to a large number of ordinary people, a princess of the royal family and a large number of young men and women from aristocratic families were also involved in the disappearance.

Therefore, in addition to the visit, Xia Ling's other reason was to try to learn about the unusual movements in the capital.

After all, the nobles who had been living here must be more aware of the recent chaos than they were.

About ten minutes passed.

Lin Xingfan looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him and felt a little confused.

Didn’t Junior Sister just say that her family has fallen into decline?

Is this a decline?

Not to mention Lin Xingfan, even Xia Ling was stunned.

From what I remember, the Bai family was indeed a declining noble family, and their main house did not look like this.

But she was sure she had not gone to the wrong place, after all, she could recognize the big words on the plaque.

The guard at the gate saw several people standing at the door and took the initiative to step forward and asked: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Xia Ling was a little confused and took out a token to identify himself: "...I am Xia Ling."

This token was given to the original owner by his sister before he passed away.

After she traveled through time and was kicked out of the sect, Awan kept it and returned it to her when they met again.

Fortunately, it has been kept in space, otherwise it would take a lot of effort to get in now.

When the guard saw the identity token that symbolized the direct line of the family, his expression changed significantly, and he was shocked. "You are the Second Miss?!"

These people all have extraordinary temperament and appearance. Although I thought they were noble sons, I didn’t expect that the girl among them was the sister of the current head of the family.

When another guard heard this, he stepped forward and asked, "Isn't the Second Miss in the cultivation world? Is it true that the Second Miss has returned?"

The guard nodded, looking at Xia Ling with a hint of excitement and an increasingly respectful attitude, "Please come in, I'll go and inform the head of the family first."

Just like that, several people were surrounded by a group of guards and maids and entered the reception room.

Si Mufeng leaned back on the soft chair with his legs crossed, "Xiao Liu, this place doesn't look like a declining noble home."

"Maybe it's because I haven't been back for too long, and some things have changed." Xia Ling looked around.

Indeed, the entire mansion had obviously been renovated, and the decorations everywhere were extremely exquisite, which must have cost a lot of money.

"This is my first time in the human world, Junior Sister, shall we go out for a walk later?" Lin Xingfan was born in the northern region of the cultivation world and had never been to the human world before, so he was naturally extremely curious.

Xia Ling knew this and could understand, "Okay."

Although he was curious about the human world, Lin Xingfan did not forget the main business: "Speaking of which, although Master asked us to investigate, we have no clues now. Where should we start the investigation?"

Simu Feng half-closed his eyes. "There are quite a few people who disappeared in the capital this time. The people behind them will definitely not be perfect enough to completely erase all traces. It's not too late to learn the specific information first and then make further plans."

"Mu Feng is right." Yue Chenzhi obviously thought so too. "Let's take a short break today. After tomorrow, we will split into three groups to check various places. If there is any problem, report it immediately."

Qi Huai and Jiang Ci did not express their opinions, just said "OK" and left it at that.

At this moment, Xia Ling was trying to think about whether there was anything worth noting in the original world line. She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it at the moment.

While several people were talking, there was a noise outside the door.

Several people immediately stopped talking about the matter and turned their eyes to the gate.

Soon, a woman in a red dress and a ponytail walked in from outside the door.

She was very pretty, with three-dimensional and delicate features, but she looked nothing like Xia Ling.

In his memory, this woman, who was ten years older than the original owner, seemed gentle, but in fact she had a hot temper. She was upright and fearless of power. She had been managing the family alone since her parents died. She was a real strong woman.

Xia Ling watched her push the door open in a hurry. He wanted to salute her according to the etiquette of folk nobles, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was hugged by the woman.

Xia Ling resisted the urge to push her away due to this sudden intimacy. After hesitating for a moment, he hugged her back, "...Sister, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Bai Huan realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly let go of her. She took two steps back to distance herself from her, and said a little unnaturally: "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Xia Ling noticed her discomfort, so he omitted all unnecessary prefixes and said directly: "To investigate the disappearance of personnel."

"I see..." Bai Huan wanted to ask her how she was doing recently, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to find a topic dryly: "By the way, who are these young men behind you?"

Xia Ling: "My fellow brothers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Chenzhi and his companions stepped forward and introduced themselves politely and briefly.

Xia Ling also took this opportunity to briefly explain what had happened in the past year.

This also includes leaving the Yinmiao Sect and joining the Wangyue Sect.

Surprisingly, Bai Huan seemed to know something. When Xia Ling was confused, she explained, "Last month, the cultivators in the cultivation world spread the news about you and Wen Wan to the capital. I wanted to go to the cultivation world to find you after I finished my business, but before I was ready to leave, you came back first. I am sorry for you. I should have... gone to find you earlier."

Although I sent countless letters, for some reason, I never received a reply.

However, she also guessed that it was probably because A Ling was unable to receive it, otherwise it would not have been possible.

Thinking of those tragic experiences, Bai Huan gritted her teeth, with a look of regret and guilt, "If I had known that there were so many demons in Yinmiao Sect, I should not have sent you there... It was my fault, I am sorry."

"Those things have passed, and it's not Sister's fault. You don't need to blame yourself." Seeing her guilty face, Xia Ling changed the subject, "Sister, although we are here to investigate, we currently have no clues. Can you tell us about the recent changes in the capital?"

"Of course." When Bai Huan heard the identities of those young men, she guessed that they must have other purposes besides visiting, but...

Bai Huan hesitated a little: "Ah Ling, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?"
