It's okay, it's easy to overthrow the heroine's system
Chapter 89 Exploring the news
In the lobby of the inn, Jiang Jiting frowned slightly after hearing what happened, and he also felt that this matter was not simple.
Especially after hearing Jiang Jingmo's message about the evil cultivator, he thought about it for a while and decided to intervene in this matter.
Digging out spiritual roots is an extremely sinister thing, especially since it will later involve the issue of the sect's own disciples. It will definitely be a loss to the world of cultivation, so everyone in the Jiuxiao Sect hit it off and after resting for a while, they went out to look for clues.
They decisively divided into two groups and acted separately in order to achieve faster efficiency.
Jiang Jingmo brought An Yang, Xu Fengzui and the others together. They decided to let Mu Yuanqian and An Yang do the task of asking for directions with the portrait, while Xu Fengzui and Jiang Jingmo started to gather information everywhere.
Jiang Jiting was not idle either, he went directly to the City Lord's Mansion to learn about the recent disappearances.
The City Lord's Mansion had already compiled the information of those who had recently disappeared, so it was easy to search and they quickly found clues.
Since the first time someone in the city disappeared, someone would go missing every seven days.
Jiang Jiting looked through the information about the missing people, frowned slightly, and looked more carefully.
This clue was quickly passed on by Nan Xun to Jiang Jingmo and others.
I got some fragmentary information, the most complete of which was about a cloth shop clerk who had recently disappeared.
This fellow has not been here long. His spiritual roots are mixed, with only four spiritual roots, so his cultivation level is not high either. I guess he wandered here.
Not long after he arrived here, a cloth shop took him in as a clerk. He was diligent and sweet-spoken, and all the ladies who came to the shop to buy fabrics liked him very much. However, seven days ago, this clerk disappeared inexplicably.
The owner of the cloth shop sent people to look for it for two days, but they came back empty-handed and finally gave up.
When the neighbors talked about this, they all thought that this guy might have found a good job and ran away, or he might have continued to wander around.
Just as the neighbors were talking about this, Jiang Jingmo suddenly felt someone's eyes were on them from behind. When they turned around, there was no one there.
Jiang Jingmo began to think.
At this time, Xu Fengzui felt something strange after hearing about the story of the cloth shop clerk. Seven days ago was exactly the time when Qi Shu disappeared. In this case, it seemed that the clerk of the cloth shop was probably in the same group of people who disappeared as Qi Shu.
Xu Fengzui couldn't help but ask a few more questions, but the neighbors around him didn't know much and couldn't give any useful information about this guy.
Seeing this, Xu Fengzui could only nod somewhat disappointedly and thank them, but Jiang Jingmo spoke again.
"Are there many rootless people like this cloth shop clerk in Xunjiang City?"
"Hey? That's quite a lot. Our Xunjiang City is backed by Changqing Sect. Usually, there are casual cultivators coming here to become disciples. But the immortals don't have so many people to accept, so some who can't become disciples settle down here. As time goes by, there are more and more people coming from nowhere in this city."
The neighbor aunt was well-informed and quickly gave a general account of the situation. However, when she said this, she thought of something and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"But there seem to be fewer and fewer independent practitioners recently. I guess they have gone to other places to learn from masters."
Jiang Jingmo smiled and nodded, agreed with a few words, and then asked where those missing cultivators were. The neighbor aunt thought for a while and said a few places. She wrote them down one by one, then thanked the aunt and handed her a few spirit stones. The aunt smiled instantly.
After asking, the two quickly found the cloth shop that the aunt had just mentioned nearby, which was called Xinglong Cloth Shop.
The two men stood in front of the cloth shop and looked at each other. Xu Fengzui was about to step in but was stopped by Jiang Jingmo.
Xu Fengzui looked at her in confusion, but she turned around and dragged him into an alley nearby.
"what happened?"
"Just getting information is not a solution. We have to find a way to join."
As he spoke, Jiang Jingmo took out two strange pills, the patterns on them looked like two human faces.
"What is this?" Xu Fengzui picked one up and looked at it in his palm.
"Brother Nan made the Hidden Appearance Pill. He always likes to make some weird things, but they are all quite effective."
Jiang Jingmo explained and stuffed the pill directly into his mouth. After a while, the pill took effect. Jiang Jingmo became somewhat ordinary, his appearance became ordinary, and the aura emanating from his body turned into that of the White Spirit Realm.
Seeing this, Xu Fengzui understood what Jiang Jingmo meant. He swallowed the pill without hesitation, and soon his whole body became dim.
After changing into two low-key outer robes, they took a long detour and arrived at Xinglong Cloth Shop from the opposite direction.
Both of them were dressed in casual clothes, and their appearance and behavior seemed a little timid, just like casual cultivators who came here to make a living.
Soon, the boss came out from the inner room.
"What kind of material do you two girls want?"
The boss was a kind man with a big belly. When he saw Jiang Jingmo and the other person come in, he introduced each piece of cloth carefully. His enthusiastic attitude made them very popular.
"Sorry...we don't want the material..."
Jiang Jingmo's voice was a little low, and he looked timid when he said this, which made him seem a little inferior.
Xu Fengzui was also shocked by Jiang Jingmo's sudden acting skills. After a while of reaction, she just nodded blankly, which made her look stupid with her round face at the moment.
The cloth shop owner paused when he heard this, but seeing how dejected the two men looked, he seemed to understand something.
"The two girls came here..."
"We want to ask if there is any work to be done here..." Jiang Jingmo opened his mouth, and his neck couldn't help but shrink again.
"We asked around and heard that there seemed to be a shortage of people here."
Xinglong Cloth Shop had a booming business in Xunjiang City, so it was no secret that the shop was short of staff after the clerk disappeared. So the owner of the shop did not doubt anything and just smiled and nodded.
"Yes, there was a clerk before, he was quite smart, but he disappeared a few days ago and never came back. This store is really a bit overwhelmed."
"Boss, do you think my sister and I can do this? We are from Qingzhou. Due to misfortune in our family, we are the only two left. We originally wanted to become disciples of Changqing Sect, but they refused to accept us. We are penniless, so we wanted to come here to make a living."
Xu Fengzui also quickly got into the mood. She reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her tragic life story was enough to move everyone.
Jiang Jingmo stood aside, glancing at Xu Fengzui's explosive acting skills. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and then a line of tears flowed down her cheek.
"Please boss, take us in!"
Looking at the two people crying miserably in front of him, the boss couldn't help but be moved. After thinking for a while, he sighed and agreed.
"Don't cry, girls. If that's the case, you can stay in the store and help. The store doesn't make much, but it can at least give you something to eat..."
The two of them nodded quickly. In a corner where the boss couldn't see, Jiang Jingmo's eyes changed. She looked at the boss's back with a curious look in her eyes.
