"A young man named Peach Blossom appeared in Fuxian Town, traveling the world alone with his sword, winning the hearts of several sisters. But who will truly capture his heart? A young man named Peach Blossom appeared in Fuxian Town..."

Su Ning sat to one side, listening to the children's songs not far away. Finding it amusing, she turned around and asked, "Brother You, do you know what those children are singing?"

"It's just something a child made up on the spot. I don't have the skills of the Taoist priests at Taihang Temple, so how could I possibly understand childlike fun?" You Xunchun replied casually.

lie.

He appeared to be reading a book, but Su Ning had actually been focusing her attention on him all along.

This person was clearly distracted just now.

She had always been curious about who You Xunchun was, and after reading the original novel over and over again, she still couldn't find any information about You Xunchun's other identities.

But how can words compare to a living person? When the person in front of her stood there, the mystery surrounding him seemed to be a thousand threads, seemingly chaotic, but there must be a clue to follow.

Unfortunately, the other party was too shrewd and cautious, and no matter how much she tried to probe, she could never find a flaw.

Just like with Pei Yunlian, not a single member of the main characters suspected anything. Not to mention Yue Zijin, Tang Xi didn't ask anything either.

What kind of bewitching potion did this person give them?

Su Ning was unusually intrigued.

Tangxi went to purchase the herbs Pei Yunlian needed, while Yuezi went to find an inn. The group had been drifting on the river for two days and urgently needed an inn to have a good meal and wash up.

The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and You Xunchun said that Pei Yunlian will wake up around these two days.

I heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fuxian Town is particularly lively, and a Moon Goddess Ceremony is held. Every year, countless people come to see the Moon Goddess.

However, Fuxian Town was unusually quiet today, with no trace of the festive atmosphere before the holiday.

The surrounding doors and windows were tightly shut, with only a few children playing in front of their homes.

Tangxi had not yet returned, but Yuezijin came over leading his little donkey.

But he looked around suspiciously, like a thief, before finally sitting down in front of the two of them.

"This is bad. Should we hurry up and leave? Let's not stay in Fuxian Town."

His expression was solemn, making one wonder if something terrible had happened.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The two looked at the boy in front of them.

Yue Zi now knows that Su Ning likes cleanliness, and even he wanted to take a nice hot bath, but something suddenly happened in Fuxian Town, and they all suffered as a result.

He could only sigh and relay what the innkeeper had told him to the two of them: "The innkeeper said that women have been going missing in Fuxian Town recently, but no one has been found yet."

"Every household is filled with anxiety, so no one is even in the mood to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

I don't know if it's just bad luck, but lately he keeps running into these kinds of things. After meeting that unlucky guy Yu Xinglai in Hundred Flowers Valley, the incident on Xiaguang Mountain happened.

If he hadn't obtained the cultivation technique, he would still be terrified, not to mention that the Ice Face still hasn't woken up.

Having finally escaped from Xiaguang Mountain, he was now convinced that this whole mess had happened in Fuxian Town, and that it was all the fault of that unlucky guy, Yu Xinglai.

As they were talking, Tangxi returned carrying her medicine bag.

She seemed to be in a good mood, watching the group of people talking together, and thought something good was going to happen, but after listening to a few words, she found out it was another unlucky thing.

She immediately pouted, "Why do you keep asking about such unlucky things?" Tangxi was very suspicious of the other person.

Yuezi retorted, "What do you mean, 'I should inquire'? The facts are right here, I don't care, I just don't want to stay here."

Seeing that neither of them would give in, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh and say, "Then let's vote and see whether we stay here or just hit the road."

Tangxi was the first to raise her hand, "I don't care, I'm going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here!"

Su Ning spoke second, saying to Yue Zijin's accusing gaze, "I'm also quite curious about the Moon Goddess Ritual, and I'd like to stay and watch."

As for You Xunchun, under Yue Zijin's earnest pleading, he shut the other up with just one sentence: "Young friend Pei's injuries are not suitable for long-distance travel."

With a score of three to one, Yue Zijin suffered a complete defeat and could only slump his shoulders, saying weakly, "Then I'll go book a room at that inn right now."

Su Ning, of course, loved watching the drama unfold, and she also knew who the mastermind behind this disappearance was.

The reason she stayed here was twofold: firstly, she was genuinely exhausted, and secondly, the mastermind behind it all had no connection to the Demonic Sect.

In short, it poses no threat to her. Of course, if it does pose a threat, she can try out the strange and unusual items in Xiaoqi Mall.

On their way to the inn, another group of people had already arrived and checked into the same inn that Yue Zijin had visited.

After asking the waiter to boil water and bring it up, Su Ning lightly loosened her silk robe and stepped barefoot into the basin. The warm water flowed over her ankles and calves, all the way to her heart.

Her fingertips brushed across the water's surface, creating ripples. She scooped up a handful of water and poured it over her collarbone. The water droplets trickled down her skin, making her feel completely comfortable.

Perhaps it was too comfortable, because she couldn't help but squint her eyes and fall into a light sleep leaning against the wooden tub.

"Clatter."

A soft rustling sound came from the window. The window, which had been tightly closed, had opened at some point, and a breeze was blowing in from outside.

The man moved nimbly towards the inner room, but stopped in his tracks when he saw the graceful figure behind the carved screen. There were also women's clothes on the shelf next to him.

The man seemed to pause for a moment, his breathing becoming heavier.

He quickly turned around, and then, as if fleeing in panic, he turned and quickly slipped out of the window again.

During this time, something was knocked over, causing a loud "bang" in the room. The sound wasn't loud, but it woke up Su Ning, who was already a light sleeper.

Has a thief broken into the house?

She asked Xiao Qi in her mind, who was tied to her body, so she could only see the surrounding situation through her body.

The bad news is that a thief did break in, but the good news is that the person somehow escaped without even showing their face.

So Xiaoqi didn't know who had come.

Su Ning thought to herself, "What do you mean?"

A name flashed through his mind. When he opened the system interface, he saw that Yu Xinglai's progress bar had suddenly increased by 10%.

It seems the thief who came was indeed a thief, and a very famous one at that.

Su Ning took an outer robe from the shelf and put it on. The warm steam made her face slightly flushed, like a peach blossom just sprouting a tender pink bud, adding to her allure.

Su Ning was surprised that Yu Xinglai was so bold, not only knowing her whereabouts so clearly, but also daring to come at this time.

She remembered that he was seriously injured in Qingyun. Su Ning leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her fingers intentionally or unintentionally stirring the water.

We could use the events in Fuxian Town as an opportunity to make some proper plans.

Although the other party just ran away, there's no rush. Su Ning believes he will show up. Even if he doesn't dare to show himself, Su Ning will force him to do so.

Since the other party had already come, Su Ning naturally wouldn't let him go.
