Yoo I am back with another chapter.

Finally they arrived at Shuang hu city .

The city isn't large but bustling.
After entering they visit the city's richest man,Old master chen. Old master Chen's two beloved little concubines had both died tragically under the skinner's hand. With Shen qingqiu's arrival,he was filled with hope.

He touched the white jade hands of his third concubine who was sitting on his lap.With mournful sighs and groans,the old man's tears dripped down.

"You cultivators make the decision for us! I don't dare let butterfly leave my side .I fear that if she loses her way by one step ,she will be killed by the unnatural creature!"

Luo bingge did not like to see a old man in his sixties and a teenage girl flirting with each other. He looked towards Shen qingqiu and saw his face twitching. Ofcourse if even he didn't like What was happening in front of his eyes , then how can a person like Shen jiu, like to see this.

Shen jiu could not handle the sweet callings they both called each other and spat out the tea he was drinking. "Ahem..Ahem"
The disciples were holding their laughter in.

Shen jiu left Ming fan with old master chen.and left with a cold face. So that he wouldn't need to suffer witnessing them again.

Ning yingying knocked on the door and entered then sweetly said "Shizun, ying-er is going to go out for a turn in the market. Does shizun want to come with me?"

Shen jiu was back facing her. He was indifferent and replied "If Ying-er wants to go out for a turn in the market. You should find some apprentice brother with you .I still have some things to do before we face the skinner"

Shen jiu knew that she was surely to bring her apprentice brother luo to accompany her. But he didn't mind it. Shen jiu just seriously thought about the information he got about the skinner.

Luo bingge was hearing their conversation from the outside.He actually wished shen jiu would come with them so that he can get more close with him.

After sunset,Ming fan entered the room to report what he learned.

Time skip the conversation .

In the middle of their conversation.Suddenly Luo binghe burst through the door.  he cried out "Shizun!".Even though he knew what exactly was happening he was concerned about his past life wife. (🙄)

"What matter is there to shout so loudly!"Shen jiu asked with a cold and stern expression but inside he was concerned.

Luo bingge explained ."During the day, Apprentice sister Ning yingying and I had went outside to go to the city market. I urged her to come back but she refused. (Typicall Ning yingying) .Dont know how, but after turning around she disappeared. I searched the entire street but couldn't find her. This disciple has come to ask for shizun's help."

This was not a joke and thus Ming fan urged to Leap over at Luo bingge. "Luo binghe... You-"

Shen jiu had no time to fault luo binghe. It wasn't really his fault anyway, it was just ning yingying being arrogant. She could have came back with luo binghe when he called but she didn't and as the result she went missing.

He put on a angry yet cold appearance and said " Luo binghe ,you come with me. Ming fan, you bring along some fellow apprentice brothers to  ask the the Chen family for their assistance to go look for your apprentice sister."

Luo bingge thought it was to punish him because thats what he always does to him.He now didn't care anymore.He inky wanted to find ning yingying Ying. "This disciple was at fault. If shizun wants to punish,this disciple will have no regrets. This disciple only wishes to find apprentice sister ."

Shen jiu wasn't planning to punish him.But he felt pity because he thought that he called him for that. Only if he knew what luo binghe was exactly thinking .But he didn't show the pitiness he put on his cold expression and said "Come with me and show me where you last were with apprentice sister"

Luo bingge was shocked at nowadays Shen jiu's doings. He didn't punish him like he always does.He didn't yell at him or beat him.He also didn't order Ming fan to bully him.
What was happening to shen jiu? 'Don't tell me he finally decided to feel a bit of pity for him and stopped bullying him'.

He lead shen jiu to where he was last with Ning yingying.
Ning yingying and Luo bingge were near the bustling market before Ning yingying disappeared.

Shen jiu followed the evil energy and came to the front of a rougue shop. But when they entered inside ,the thread of evil energy broke and completely dissipated.

"Could it be that the murder isn't hidden in the rogue shop But had only came here before... Could the murder be a women" he murmured.

Suddenly the system popped up on Luo bingge's head and said [Would you like to pay 100 points and activate the easy mode on shen qingqiu]

'There is an easy mode?'

He want willing at first but decided to say yes anyway.

Suddenly sometging caused goosebumps to rise all over shen jiu's body. Then he  started following something

'This easy mode isn't bullying me'

After walking and running for some time they arrived at a abandoned and deserted house.

'Is there ghosts living here? Perfect place for the skinner'
Luo bingge thought.

Shen jiu turned around towards luo binghe and said "Return to the chen estate and  contact Ming fan and tell him to bring all the apprentice brothers together."

Lup bingge was about to open his mouth to reply but his pupils shrank. Shen jiu saw luo binghe staring straight behind him. And he knew it wasn't anything good but it was too late to act.

A gust of Yin wind blew and the front gates slammed open.

So Yeah that's it.You will have to wait for the next chapter a long time. The reason is in the next chapter (A/N).

Bye 👋
