The sniffing rat came back before the concierge, crawled into Qianqiu's ear and screamed "zhizhizhi" for a long time.
"High-level incarnation of the thunder demon in the demon stage? What is that?" Qianqiu looked confused after hearing this.
Yang Xian asked quickly: "It said it smelled the thunder demon's evil spirit?"
Qianqiu nodded and said to himself: "What's going on? Is the eldest lady of the Sun family a monster?"
At this time, Qianqiu suddenly thought of it and turned around to ask Farewell: "Didn't you get injured by the lightning demon? Could it be the one inside?"
Bieliang didn't say anything, just looked ahead silently.
"Are you sure you want to go in?" Qianqiu asked again.
Bieliang glanced at Qianqiu impatiently: "What are you afraid of? You are not a wooden person. Can't you help me block it?" She regretted it after saying it, but she always felt that there was something wrong with the words she said coldly.
Qianqiu fell silent, and he sounded a little uncomfortable.
Yang Xian said seriously: "But Brother Qian is still only an intermediate magician. He can't beat the lightning demon in the advanced incarnation demon stage."
No one answered him now. After a long while, Qianqiu nodded, and Bieling also nodded.
A confused Yang Xian looked at the two of them, feeling a little baffled.
At this time, the concierge ran out and said respectfully: "Master Qian, the eldest lady invites you."
As soon as the three of them heard this, they followed the concierge through the door.
After turning a few courtyards, the housekeeper stood in the courtyard. He had been waiting for a long time. He sent the concierge away and said to Qianqiu: "Master Qian, the lady is in the main hall. You have been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
The three of them followed the housekeeper into the main hall.
The main hall of the Sun Mansion is similar to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, but there are no calligraphy and paintings, and there are some additional weapon decorations that are not found elsewhere.
"Master Qian, please sit down. Come and have some tea." Sun Ruoqi said hurriedly when he saw the three people coming in.
Qianqiu thanked Sun Ruoqi and sat down. Yang Xian and Bieling also stood behind him.
"Master Qian, I have read the letter. It has been a hard journey. It's just that my father and mother went to the Holy Capital to do business together and have not returned yet. But it doesn't matter, I will treat you the same." Sun Ruoqi said enthusiastically, "If you need anything, just ask me people."
Qianqiu cupped his fists and saluted: "I've heard for a long time that the eldest lady of the Sun family is generous, decent, dignified and beautiful. When I see her today, it's better to hear than to see. The eldest lady is really good at running the house."
"Thank you." Sun Ruoqi said with a smile, and then ordered his servants to bring some snacks.
"I came here this time to investigate the case of a missing girl in Qingshui County." Qianqiu stared at Sun Ruoqi closely, not letting go of any change in her expression.
Sun Ruoqi asked doubtfully: "I received a letter from cousin Dong's flying pigeon. I heard that the girl's disappearance was caused by monsters."
"The monster is so cruel that all the missing girls lost their lives," Qianqiu said.
"In troubled times, you still need to have skills at your side." Sun Ruoqi sighed, "I heard that Mr. Qian has helped the Qingshui County magistrate solve the case, why are you pursuing the murderer here again?"
Qianqiu took a sip of the tea that was served and looked at Sun Ruoqi with squinted eyes: "No, no, no, a thunder demon ran away."
Sun Ruoqi's expression changed slightly and he became a little confused: "Thunder Demon? What kind of monster is that? I have always lived in a simple way and know very little about monsters."
Qianqiu looked at Sun Ruoqi's every answer and couldn't help but admire the eldest lady of the Sun family.
"The monster derived from thunder and lightning killed the pig monster when I wanted to find out the real culprit. Later I found out that it had come to Huanghu City," Qianqiu explained.
"Master Qian, you will do your duty and eliminate harm for the people. If you need my help, please feel free to ask." Sun Ruoqi said politely.
"Then Qianqiu would like to thank Miss Sun here first." Qianqiu stood up and saluted again to express his thanks.
Sun Ruoqi also stood up: "Since my father has not returned from the Holy City, I am in charge of this family now. If Master Qian needs anything, please just give me your instructions."
The two chatted for a while, and Qianqiu made an excuse to go back to the room first.
Sun Ruoqi was still sitting in the hall, holding a bowl of tea and taking a sip. Behind him, a servant in black came out: "Master, the three of them are weak in cultivation. The girl is the tallest, but she is only a high-level magician, and she is still injured. I can't sense their spirit beast aura. , there must be no powerful spiritual beasts, so the three of them are nothing to be afraid of."
Sun Ruoqi shook his head and said: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Let them check it. After they leave, we can deal with it on the way. It's not convenient to do anything now."
"Yes." The servant in black left.
The three returned to the room and sat to discuss.
"This Miss Sun is more powerful than I thought." Qianqiu sighed, "She does bad things and is the same as someone who has done nothing."
Bieling said: "She is not a cultivator, but I think there is someone else in the main hall."
Qianqiu looked at Bieling and praised him, "He is a high-level magician after all. Why didn't we feel it?"
Bi Ling ignored Qian Qiu.
"I don't know when Senior Ye will come back." Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu nodded: "Senior Ye said it was two days, but I think with her nosy temperament, she might be delayed for a few days on the road."
"Right now, it seems that regardless of whether Miss Sun is a monster or not, since it is confirmed that there is a high-level monster that has transformed into a monster, it is difficult for the three of us to win." Yang Xian analyzed.
Bie Ling said: "Now it's actually obvious. If she is the real murderer behind the scenes as you said, she must also know our identity."
Qianqiu nodded: "Everyone knows that since she is so calm and doesn't mind us staying here, it's just because she has enough strength or she has no evil intentions."
"The sniffing rat has helped us rule out the second possibility. The only thing we have to do now is to determine who she is and then look for evidence." Yang Xian said.
"There is another possibility that there are monsters around you but you don't know it." Bie Ling reminded.
Qianqiu took out the sniffing mouse and put it on the table: "Do you think this little mouse is really that smart?"
The sniffing rat understood Qianqiu's words, climbed up to him, kicked Qianqiu's fingers with his short legs, and kept squeaking.
At this scene, Bie Ling, who was originally cold-faced, burst into laughter.
When Qianqiu looked at her, she held it back.
Yang Xian stroked the Sniffing Rat's back and said, "Brother Qian, you see it's protesting with you. According to the classics, the Sniffing Rat's ability to find and recognize monsters is unparalleled in the world, but it is really fragile. Once it is It may be dangerous to discover.”
"Isn't there still a way to escape?" Qianqiu looked at the Sniffing Rat.
Bie Ling said disdainfully: "You are really ignorant, many monsters can also escape."
"Even if I am ignorant, I am still smarter than you!" Qianqiu retorted.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing and discuss the next plan first." Yang Xian dissuaded.
Qianqiu said: "Of course, let's look for the pig farm that Miss Sun entrusted with raising. There must be some clues there."
"Stupid! Shouldn't we first check if there are really monsters around Miss Sun?" Bie Ling scolded.
"Okay, crazy lady, go ahead and do this." Qianqiu looked at Bieling and said, "Don't forget that you are here to recuperate! You are still giving us guidance."
"If you call me a crazy bitch again, I will tear your mouth apart." Bie Ling said.
Qianqiu made a face and hid aside.
Yang Xian said at this time: "Brother Qian, I think what the other girl said is reasonable. Let's not talk about whether the pig demon you mentioned was sneaked into the pig farm. If you are not sure whether Miss Sun has a problem, why not rush forward? If you go there, you will definitely return in vain.”
He thought for a while: "The only advantage we have now is that we already know that there is a monster next to her, and the other party doesn't know that we already know it. Other than that, we are all at a disadvantage."
Qianqiu nodded and thought over and over: "Let's do this. Mr. Yang, you can go out and wander around during the day to hide from others. I will stay in the house and observe Miss Sun secretly. As for you, just stay in your room and recuperate." He pointed at Bieling.
After the three of them were determined, they went to rest and practice.
When he was about to get ready, Qianqiu practiced for a while and then sat down to rest. He suddenly thought of the inner demon beads in his arms and took them out. The colorful inner demons were soaked in sweat and became more dazzling.
Qianqiu looked at it carefully: "Master, this magic weapon is good, but what else can it do besides fortifying the body?" He thought for a while and took out a few more contract talismans and talked to the inner magic bead: "You and the contract talisman does it matter?"
At this time, the inner magic bead suddenly dimmed.
Qianqiu's eyes shone, you must not really be related to the contract talisman.
He tried to put the two things together.
At this moment, someone suddenly coughed outside the house. Qianqiu grabbed the inner magic beads and the contract talisman and put them in his arms, then rushed out immediately.
As soon as he opened the door, Qianqiu saw Sun Ruoming in silk pajamas, stunned on the spot. When he saw it was a child, he knelt down and asked with a smile, "Who are you? What are you doing here in the backyard?"
Sun Ruoming looked at the kind Qianqiu and said in a sweet voice, "Are you my sister's guest?"
Qianqiu nodded.
Sun Ruoming took a look and put his finger on his mouth: "Shh, I'm playing hide and seek."
Qianqiu looked at the boy's dress and had some guesses about his identity: "Are you Miss Sun's brother?"
Sun Ruoming looked at Qianqiu and asked in surprise: "How do you know? My name is Sun Ruoming!"
"Your sister told me, she said Ruoming is very well-behaved." Qianqiu coaxed the child and said.
"You lied. My sister would never say that I am a good child." Sun Ruoming was a little dissatisfied at this time.
Qianqiu continued: "How could it be? Miss Sun should love you very much."
"Sister doesn't love me at all. She beat my maids and sisters, so I don't like her anymore." Sun Ruoming said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu continued to ask: "I beat your maid, what happened?"
The child was not defensive and explained the cause and effect of the incident.
When Qianqiu heard this, she thought to herself: "Then this Miss Sun is not as generous, decent and kind-hearted as what is said outside."
He continued to ask: "Is your sister usually cruel? Is she good to others?"
"I don't think it's good at all. She is always cold. I always feel that she is not the same sister as before." Sun Ruoming muttered.
When Qianqiu heard this, he had an idea in his mind and thought: "Thankfully I met this guy tonight, otherwise I almost forgot that there is another possibility!"
