——
"Do you recognize Chu Wenting? Eight years old...Who are her parents? How do I know? I don't look for her parents..."
Lin Qingqing walked on the street and asked whenever she saw people. Most of the people asked were confused.
Situ Xiazhen followed silently, without any intention of dissuasion, and allowed Lin Qingqing to play.
They are outsiders. When they investigate someone on the island, no matter what method they take, they will attract attention and may not be able to find it. Since they are destined to be discovered, they might as well just take it openly and take the initiative to alert the enemy.
When Lin Qingqing asked questions, Situ Xiazhen didn't just look at it. She kept paying attention to the questioned expression and carefully observed the reactions of other passers-by.
A girl is a congenital martial arts body, and this kind of thing is either secret or well-known. After asking all the way, Situ Xiazhen felt that it was the former.
When he heard Chu Wenting's name, he looked confused no matter who he asked. Although Xuefeng Island is not small, it is impossible to go anywhere. Even if the people on the island don't know all, it's okay to be familiar with it. But after asking, there was no valuable news. Situ Xiazhen vaguely felt that maybe it was not only the innate martial arts, but also Chu Wenting himself might have some secrets.
Lin Qingqing was also very discouraged. After inquiring for a long time, no one knew. When she was disappointed, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Oh, Xiaobai!" Lin Qingqing shouted excitedly.
The man had already seen Lin Qingqing and Situ Xiazhen and was about to run away, but Lin Qingqing was staring at him. He had no choice but to say hello with a smile on his face.
"What a coincidence, two girls."
Huangfu Xuan's disciple, Bai Xueji who worked with when he entered the secret realm of Wuhai.
It was said that it was cooperation, but basically no fighting friendship was left, and only fear was left. Chen Wanfeng's ravaged disciples have not recovered until now. Now the battle for the head is settled. In order to avoid too many gaps between his fellow disciples, Bai Xuejia Fang was ordered by his master to come back to condolences. However, he did not expect to meet Lin Qingqing and Situ Xiazhen, whom he didn't want to see the least.
"Xiaobai." Lin Qingqing walked closer: "I haven't seen you for several days, so I won't come to see us."
"Busy, busy..." Bai Xuejia looked entangled.
When he was in the secret realm, in order to show his modesty, the scholar Bai cumed when Lin Qingqing called him Senior Brother Bai and said he could just call me "Xiaobai". Then Lin Qingqing called him, which was quite easy.
"It just happened to meet you." Lin Qingqing asked: "Do you know Chu Wenting? An eight-year-old little sister."
"I don't know." Bai Xuejia answered quickly.
Even if you know each other, you have to say you don’t know each other, not to mention that he really doesn’t know.
"That's it..." Lin Qingqing was a little disappointed, but soon came up with a good idea: "You can help us find it together, you are more familiar with us."
Xueji Bai was even more confused and thought to himself that we were very familiar with each other, why should we help you find someone?
Situ Xiazhen glanced at the embarrassing scholar Bai and said, "Brother Bai, if it is inconvenient, you can give us some information. We have asked many people, but we have no clue at all."
"Two." Bai Xuejia said helplessly: "There are too many people on this Xuefeng Island. If you ask about the disciples of the sect, I can still help you, but you can find a child..."
"That child is very important." Lin Qingqing said seriously: "But I can't tell you why."
Bai Xuejia was speechless. He didn't care at all about why Lin Qingqing and Situ Xiazhen were looking for someone, and just wanted to stay away from these two terrible women. However, judging from the situation in front of him, if he didn't bring out some useful things, he would probably be difficult to get out.
"What's that child like? Who have you asked?" asked Bai Xuejia.
"Chu Wenting, eight years old, female." Lin Qingqing turned around and pointed: "This street and the street behind, I have asked about it all."
Bai Xuejia thought for a while and said, "There are only a few thousand people on the island. Although it is impossible for everyone to recognize each other, you can at least ask something after asking so many people. If you have no news at all, either you are too lucky or the child is from Jinyu Village."
"Where is Jinyu Village?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"What is Jinyu Village?" Situ Xiazhen asked.
For Lin Qingqing, it is easy to deal with when you know the place, just look for it. However, for Situ Xiazhen, who is used to thinking about everything in complexity, there are many things that are implicit in Bai Xuejia's words.
"The place in Jinyu Village is easy to find, but no one, including the disciples of Xuefeng Island, cannot enter without permission." Bai Xuejia continued: "There are all women living in the village..."
"All women?" Lin Qingqing was very curious: "Why? Are you raising your wife to give birth to children?"
Bai Xuejia was just halfway through his words, and almost choked to death by saliva. After coughing several times, he said resentfully: "Miss Qingqing, can you listen to me and finish your words? Strictly speaking, those women cannot be regarded as people from Xuefeng Island, because they are all hostages, hostages from secular dynasties..."
There are many strong people in the sects, and a sect with thousands of people can compete with a country. However, the sect only practices martial arts and does not engage in production. Most of them have to purchase food, clothing, housing and transportation from outside. In addition, the various resources for cultivation, it is difficult to be self-sufficient. Smaller sects are better, but the larger the sect, the stronger the dependence on the outside world. Therefore, most sects will establish cooperation with external forces, and the cooperation between the two sides will complement each other.
In order to make this cooperation closer, it is common for each other to marry and exchange protons. Jinyu Village is such a residence where protons are placed.
Unlike the traditional protons, all the protons on Xuefeng Island are women, and they are women who marry outside dynasties. Some marry in, some marry out and come back.
But Xuefeng Island did not intend to rely on these women to restrain anyone, but was just a symbolic existence. If a dynasty or aristocratic family betrayed, Xuefeng Island would attack the woman in the name of that woman. Through this form, it is to declare to the outside world that this is his own family matter and should not be interfered with by outsiders.
Those women are noble in the outside world, but there is nothing special in the Xuefeng Island. If they treat each other with noble people, it is contrary to the hierarchical and status principles of Xuefeng Island. But if they treat them like ordinary disciples, they will not understand the principles of reason. Therefore, they built that luxurious village and raised those golden and jade leaves. They enjoy the most luxurious objects, but they do not show their nobility in the Xuefeng Island.
The sects believe in their own power and follow traditional principles. These methods seem a bit strange, but they are not original to Xuefeng Island. Many sects will adopt similar methods.
After talking about Jinyu Village, Bai Xuejia suddenly realized: "You are entrusted by someone and want to send a letter to someone. This is nothing. Jinyu Village prohibits outsiders from entering, but they just don't want the villagers to be harassed. If you send any information, you can get in by registering."
Lin Qingqing was confused when she heard this and wanted to ask again, but Situ Xiazhen stopped her.
"Thank you, Brother Bai, we are entrusted by someone." Situ Xiazhen said: "I dare to ask where Jinyu Village is? I can just go there by myself."
The Bai Xuejia didn't want to accompany him, so he happily told the address. He was even afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly and was taken to be a tour guide. He asked the shop next to him for a piece of paper and drew a very detailed road map. After getting Situ Xiazhen's approval, he walked away as if he was running away, with a very fast speed.
Situ Xiazhen and Lin Qingqing followed the map instructions to Jinyu Village. At the same time, Chen Wanfeng also received a report from his disciples.
The disciples below may not know Chu Wenting, but two outsiders were asking around the island to report it. Now Huangfu Xuan has established his successor as the leader, either going to Tianchi to see Song Zhiqing or being called by the eight Supreme Elders to speak. All the big and small matters on the island fell on Chen Wanfeng.
After listening to the reward in Xuefeng Hall, Chen Wanfeng said nothing, but said that he knew, so he waved his hand to ask the disciple to retreat.
First, the leader of the competition felt the frustration, and then he understood the leader's greatest responsibilities and obligations. Chen Wanfeng's spirit was ups and downs and suffered a huge impact. Until now, his mind was in chaos, so how could he care about a little girl?
I just sent the disciple who reported the message away, and another disciple came to deliver the message.
The letter was sent from Chu Yun Kingdom, and the sender was Xu Zhengming, the eldest disciple of Chen Wanfeng.
Chen Wanfeng opened the letter and looked at it, his pupils immediately shrank.
Something happened in Chu Yun Kingdom.
