Peerless Tang Sect's Shepherd Star Silver Dragon

Chapter 24 Seaside Town
  Kasimu Town, a beautiful seaside town, is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery.

However, such a beautiful small town is shrouded in the shadow of fear.

Si Muqing and Zhang Lexuan walked on the stone-paved street, with steeplehouses with closed doors and windows on both sides.

Both of them changed their clothes, and their original school uniforms were put away.

The streets were empty, except for the occasional pedestrians who hurried past with their heads lowered.

"Senior, what should we do next?" Si Muqing looked around at the empty scene.

"The next step is up to you to decide." Zhang Lexuan replied softly.

Si Muqing frowned, thinking carefully, and asked with a slightly tentative tone: "How about we go to a hotel or other places with a lot of people to ask?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded in agreement.

After nearly ten days of traveling, Si Muqing and Zhang Lexuan arrived at the small town of Kasbu.

Zhang Lexuan not only told him about the mission and local conditions on the way, but also played a guest role as a teacher from the outer courtyard to teach him various martial arts knowledge to prevent him from falling behind in the course.

When arriving at the hotel, Si Muqing showed a regretful look. The reason, of course, is that there is no one in the hotel, except for a charming woman who is drinking to drown her sorrows, with a sad look on her eyebrows.

A waiter saw a pair of siblings walking into the hotel. He quickly stood up from behind the counter and showed a standard smile.

"I want a room, a double room." Si Muqing threw out a gold soul coin and ordered a few times on the menu, "Make these few more dishes and bring them to the room."

The waiter took out the room key and handed it to Si Muqing: "Okay, sir. Your room is on the second floor, and the house number is Magnolia Pavilion."

Si Muqing took the key and walked towards the second floor with Zhang Lexuan.

Si Muqing opened the door of Magnolia Pavilion, and a rich fragrance hit his face.

The room is quite simple, with an outer room and an inner room.

Si Muqing sat on the sofa and looked at Zhang Lexuan.

"Senior, there's something wrong with the woman drinking downstairs!"

"What should I say?" Zhang Lexuan sat down gracefully, like a hot spring, flowing quietly without being impatient.

"According to the academy's information, the first ones to disappear are young people from outside, and then the locals."

"To be more precise, it was young and beautiful women at first, and then both men and women. There was a clear change."

"The vast majority of evil soul masters kill for a very simple purpose, which is power."

"In order to practice faster, evil soul masters often recruit ordinary people as minions to assist them in killing." Just like ghosts. Si Muqing quietly added in his heart.

"Using money and sex to lure, evil soul masters can easily find groups of minions and cannon fodder."

"I suspect that woman is a minion of the evil soul master. This hotel is one of the most suitable places in this small town to collect information about the foreign population."

"In a place like this where everyone is in danger, she, a woman who is not a soul master, dares to be alone."

"It's just a suspicion, maybe she has a hard time!" Zhang Lexuan retorted, "Junior, you can't convict someone just because of a suspicion. It's easy for someone to lead you away."

Si Muqing opened his mouth to say something.

A knock on the door interrupted Si Muqing's words.

"Sir, this is the meal you requested." The waiter said respectfully.

"Come in and help us set up." Si Muqing let the door open.

"Waiter, who is the woman drinking downstairs?" Si Muqing asked.

"Ah!" The waiter looked at Si Muqing in surprise.

"Why can't you answer this question?" Si Muqing frowned and looked at the waiter.

"No, sir." The waiter smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Lexuan with a troubled expression.

But Zhang Lexuan didn't express anything.

The waiter finally said: "Her name is Lucy, and she is also a miserable woman."

The waiter took a step forward, lowered his head and spoke softly in front of Si Muqing. As the waiter spoke, an embarrassed expression appeared on Si Muqing's face.

After Si Muqing listened, he paid the waiter a tip and pushed him out of the room.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Si Muqing funny. Si Muqing avoided Zhang Lexuan's eyes.

"Cough!" Si Muqing pretended to cough, "Senior, do you have any advice?"

"Junior, you might as well think about it from my perspective. If you were an evil soul master, who would you find as your minions?"

"Evil people, greedy people! Such as robbers, criminals. Or ruffians." After Si Muqing said this, he added another sentence.

"People who have a rough fate, are pitiful, and are dissatisfied with life."

"From this perspective, she does meet the requirements."

"So? What are you going to do?" Zhang Lexuan's words sounded like a test.

"The most direct method is to follow her directly at night. It will be easy to know if there is any problem."

"However, it is easy to alert others and waste energy, and the risk factor is unknown."

"The second method is to wait and wait. If she is really a minion, then the evil soul master will definitely know."

"But we are too passive. If we are not careful, it is easy for the evil soul master to discover our identity in advance. If we escape directly, it will be troublesome."

"Then which method do you plan to use?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"Of course it's the first one. You have to try even if it's useless. She just happens to be leaving soon!" Si Muqing has been mentally sensing the situation downstairs.

Si Muqing stood up, opened the window, and prepared to jump out.

"Junior, put on this." Zhang Lexuan threw a cloak and mask to Si Muqing.

Si Muqing put on a mask and cloak.

Like a nimble cat, Si Muqing jumped down from the second floor and disappeared into the darkness.

Lucy walked out of the hotel, the sorrow between her eyebrows becoming more and more obvious and intense.

Si Muqing quietly followed Lucy.

Lucy walked east and west, going in circles, faster and faster.

Found! Si Muqing murmured in his heart, his tracking skills weren't so bad that he was discovered by a woman who wasn't even a soul master!
  Or is it that he is really unlucky, and he will win just by suspecting someone!

Lucy finally walked around to a large spire house in a remote part of town, and stood hesitant in front of the door.

Si Muqing frowned, his sensitive nose smelling a stench.

Si Muqing covered his nose with his hands and roared in his heart, this family doesn't clean up the cesspit!

At this time, the door of the pointed house creaked. A handsome middle-aged man with blond hair and a gentle look came out.

"Lucy, why are you still standing there, come in quickly!"

Lucy saw fear in her eyes when she saw the blond man. After hearing the man's voice, she slowly walked in.

The man closed the door.

Si Muqing hid behind Lucy and did not see Lucy's fearful eyes.

Si Muqing covered her mouth and nose, jumped lightly, and sat on the roof, sensing the scene in the house. Counting Lucy, there were six people in the house, three men and three women.

Si Muqing's face suddenly became very ugly, and his mental perception was withdrawn by him.

After two lifetimes combined, he is still a young child! It was a multi-player sport at the beginning, which was so exciting that his mental perception was subconsciously withdrawn by him.

Si Muqing sighed and planned to go back to the hotel.

At this time, a white and delicate palm rested on Si Muqing's shoulder.

Si Muqing's body suddenly stiffened.
