4369 Return of kindness
Only then did Ling Chuxi realize that this was the reason why the shopkeeper was so frightened at the mention of Haojia village.
Ling Chuxi had originally thought that what old Vulture had entrusted to her was just a small matter and that an ordinary gold spiritual Pearl was not a big deal. She had not expected that the matter would be so complicated.
“Since you already know about this, there’s no need to go to Haojia village. I think it’s better for you to leave apricot Sun City sooner or later. It won’t be a good thing if advisor Yin keeps pestering you.” The shopkeeper advised earnestly.
“Don’t worry, shopkeeper. We’ll leave the city in a moment. We’ll definitely not let outsiders know what you said just now. ” Of course, Ling Chuxi would not leave apricot Sun City so easily. However, she could tell that the shopkeeper had good intentions, so she responded with a few words.
“Then I’m relieved.” The shopkeeper was also worried that they would drag him down if they stayed in apricot Sun City, so he was relieved after hearing Ling Chuxi’s words.
“By the way, shopkeeper Lin, was the city Lord’s ban placed after the Haojia village incident?” Ling Chuxi thought of something and asked again.
“That’s right. Not long after the Haojia village incident, the city Lord ordered that no one was allowed to set foot within a hundred kilometers of the misty cloud mountains. I’m afraid the city Lord is worried that the plague will spread to apricot Sun City. ” Knowing that the two of them would be leaving soon, the shopkeeper did not mind saying a few more words. In any case, he had already said what he should not say, so there was no harm in saying a few more words.
Such a guess was reasonable, but Ling Chuxi still felt that it was a little strange. If it was just to prevent the so-called plague from spreading to apricot Sun City, it was reasonable to issue a ban. However, what was the reason why advisor Yin was trying to rope in these disciples from the aristocratic families?
Ling Chuxi thought of another possibility. The city Lord had issued this order to rope in the disciples of the aristocratic families and sects in order to find the gold spiritual Pearl. Perhaps even the disaster in the Hao Family Village was also the city Lord’s doing. In order to prevent others from knowing about this matter, he had also issued a gag order after forcing the Hao family members away.
However, these were all just Ling Chuxi’s conjectures. She did not dare to jump to conclusions. If she wanted to find the answer, she would probably have to personally make a trip to the city Lord’s mansion. Even though that private advisor Yin was most likely a God-level master and the guards of the city Lord’s residence were not weak, Ling Chuxi had comprehended the heavenly way single sword of the nine provinces. She was not afraid of a God-level master at all. In addition, Huangfu qingjue was a genuine God-level master, so she did not have to worry at all.
“Shopkeeper Lin, thank you for telling us so many things. I heard you say that your grandson is seriously ill. I happen to have learned a Little Alchemy before, so why don’t I take a look at him before I leave?” Ling Chuxi stood up and said to the shopkeeper. The innkeeper took the risk to tell them so many things, so he naturally had to give the other party something in return.
Ling Chuxi did not expect that this act of kindness on a whim would give her an unexpected discovery.
“You’re a spirit Alchemist?” The shopkeeper looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise. Like any other ordinary person, the shopkeeper was inevitably surprised to see such a young Alchemist and forgot to urge Ling Chuxi to leave quickly.
“Our ethereal sect used to be a first-grade sect residence. Some secret alchemy books were passed down. I’ve learned a little, so I can be considered a spirit Alchemist.” Ling Chuxi said humbly.
“Thank you, but I’ve spent all my money to treat my grandson all these years, so I really can’t take out much money for the consultation.” The shopkeeper had also heard people mention the ethereal sect residence before and knew that this sect residence had a deep foundation. He did not doubt Ling Chuxi’s words, but when he thought about his own family background, he rubbed his hands and said this with difficulty.
