A night of silence.
The morning light slowly tears apart the night and shines on the earth.
"Brother!"
Footsteps sounded outside the guest room, and a plump figure hurriedly walked past the window.
The next second, the figure opened the door and walked in.
"Ouch, you fat man didn't knock on the door. This is the Su family, what if there is a beautiful woman in this room." Lin Beichen said helplessly.
"Hey, wouldn't that be a feast for the eyes?" Yuan Kai said with a lustful smile on his face.
"If you fart, hurry up, what do you want from me?" Lin Beichen said bitterly.
If he had known that he would not have saved this damn fat man in Demon Cloud Marsh, if word got out that he had such a wretched friend, his reputation would have been ruined.
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen wanted to beat up the fat man in front of him.
Yuan Kai ignored Lin Beichen's murderous gaze, reached out and took out a cloth bag from his arms.
"We sold off the Yan family's property, which translates into a total of 150 low-grade spiritual crystals. This is 75. Count them." With that, Yuan Kai handed the cloth bag in his hand to Lin Beichen.
"No need to count."
Lin Beichen took the bag without opening it and stuffed it into his arms. With a thought, he put it into the system.
As for why he put it into his arms first and then stored it in the system, it was because Lin Beichen didn't want to expose the system.
Although he has not been able to figure out what this system is until now, the system alone can give him a Sky-Building Pill out of thin air, and it can also give him skills.
From this point of view, he could conclude that this system must not be a mortal thing.
Although he also trusted Yuan Kai, after all, the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.
"By the way, there is something that my father asked me to tell you." Yuan Kai seemed to have remembered something and frowned.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Lin Beichen looked at Yuan Kai's solemn expression and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"Yesterday, after my father left the Yan family with some strong men, I was left with a few people to guard the Yan family."
"As a result, if we were not careful, the corpses of the Yan family became strangely shriveled up at some point."
"And the entire Yan family heard a shrill howl from nowhere."
"My father suspects that there is a monster at work. Now they are guarding the Yan family and asked me to come and tell you."
Yuan Kai recounted what happened at Yan's house yesterday with lingering fear.
"Again the Soul Seizing Array?" Lin Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
But that person's realm is already at the eighth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm. These low-level souls shouldn't have much effect on improving his strength. What is he going to do?
Originally, he thought that the man just wanted to use the Soul Seizing Array to improve his strength, but now it seems...
It doesn't seem to be that simple.
"What formation?" Yuan Kai asked with confusion.
"Nothing, let's go and visit Yan's house together." Lin Beichen responded casually.
...........
The Yan family's residence.
At this time, there were two people, looking solemnly at the corpses on the ground in the courtyard.
It was Yuan Hai and the eldest elder of the Yuan family.
"Master, is this really a monster causing trouble?" the eldest elder of the Yan family said with a serious expression.
"Most likely."
"As far as I know, there is a kind of monster in the Cloud Shadow Continent called the Soul-Eating Beast."
"This kind of monster has a minimum level of cultivation in the spiritual vein realm and specializes in feeding on human souls."
"The shriveled corpses in front of me are all caused by the devouring of souls."
Yuan Hai replied with serious eyes.
If a soul-devouring beast appears in Demon Cloud City, the entire Demon Cloud City will most likely suffer disaster.
The lowest level is a monster beast in the spirit vein realm, and no one in Moyun City can stop it!
"Uncle Yuan is overly worried. This is not the work of the soul-devouring beast."
At this time, Lin Beichen and Yuan Kai finally arrived at the Yan family.
"This is man-made." Lin Beichen said.
As soon as he entered Yan's house, he sensed the residual aura of the Soul Seizing Array, and was even more certain that it was the owner of Fengqi Tower who did it.
"Huh? Who could be so sinister? Is it the work of practitioners who practice evil arts?" Yuan Hai asked.
"You don't need to know this. Knowing too much is not good for you. You just need to know that this person will not take action against you." Lin Beichen shook his head.
It may not be a good thing to tell Yuan Hai and the others about what happened last night.
"Also, try not to provoke Feng Qilou in the future." Lin Beichen said again.
"why..."
"There's no reason. If you don't want to die, just listen to me. Don't ask. It's not good for you to know too much. I'm here for your own good."
Just as Yuan Kai was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lin Beichen waving his hand.
While everyone was talking, there were hurried footsteps outside the hospital.
The next second, Su Mu's anxious figure appeared.
"Little friend Lin, Qing'er... Qing'er is missing." Su Mu panted.
"What did you say? Why is Wanqing missing? Wasn't she still at Su's house yesterday?" Before anyone could wonder, Yuan Kai was the first to ask.
"Yesterday, Qing'er was gone." Su Mu answered truthfully.
"I didn't see you yesterday, why did you just say it today!" Yuan Kai shouted with slightly red eyes. He didn't worry at all that the Su Mu in front of him might be his future father-in-law.
It's not his fault. There is very likely a powerful evil sect member hiding in Demon Cloud City right now. It's understandable that he is worried and loses his temper.
"I thought she was still sulking and avoiding me. Plus there were a lot of things to deal with yesterday, so I..." Su Mu paused and didn't say any more.
He also blamed himself very much at the moment and didn't care about Yuan Kai's attitude.
"It's my fault for this. I was caught up in these things yesterday and didn't delve into Miss Su's whereabouts." Lin Beichen stepped forward and patted Yuan Kai's shoulder to comfort him.
Everyone was silent and turned their attention to Lin Beichen. Obviously, after the events of the past few days, everyone has regarded Lin Beichen as their backbone.
"The most important thing right now is to find Miss Su first." Lin Beichen paused and continued: "Uncle Yuan, head of the Su family, please gather your family members and search carefully in Moyun City."
"Yuan Kai, come with me to Su's house and see if there are any clues." Lin Beichen said again.
He was wondering if the owner of Fengqi Tower secretly abducted Su Wanqing while they were fighting Yan Sheng.
...........
In the Su family.
"How could it be? How could there be no trace at all?" Yuan Kai muttered absentmindedly.
Lin Beichen's brows furrowed. At this moment, he had also ruled out the suspicion of the owner of Fengqi Tower. Because he didn't feel a trace of Fengqi Tower's spiritual energy fluctuations in the courtyard yesterday.
"Could it be that she left on her own?" Lin Beichen thought for a long time, and this idea suddenly popped into his head.
"Let's go and take a look at Miss Su's room." Lin Beichen patted Yuan Kai, who had no eyes at all, and said softly.
As soon as she entered Su Wanqing's boudoir, a girlish fragrance hit her face.
"Wanqing, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left yesterday." Yuan Kai was still murmuring.
Lin Beichen turned his head and looked at the lost Yuan Kai, sighing slightly in his heart.
Yuan Kai is putting all the blame on himself. If he can't find Su Wanqing, he may be immersed in self-blame in the future.
