4368 Winking

“Many thanks, senior Yin, but we still have a junior martial brother coming. We’ve agreed to meet him at the city gate at dusk. When he comes, we’ll go visit senior and the city Lord.” Ling Chuxi guessed that the shopkeeper had something to tell her and found an excuse to beat around the bush.

“That’s good. I’ll go back to the city Lord’s mansion and wait for you. ” Advisor Yin didn’t force him and left after saying that.

Only after he had gone far away did the shopkeeper carefully stick his head out.

“Thank you for saving my life, this old man is extremely grateful.” The shopkeeper said gratefully as he bowed to the two of them.

He had wanted to fight to the death with steward Wang on impulse just now, and when he thought about it later, he was also filled with fear.

“You’re welcome, shopkeeper Lin. ” Ling Chuxi helped the innkeeper up and asked,”old man, do you have something you want to tell us?”

“This young lady, is advisor Yin really acquainted with your sect residence’s elder?” The innkeeper did not rush to answer her question, but rather asked hesitantly.

“I’m not sure. Ethereal sect is quite famous. Many people in the heaven domain have heard of you.” Ling Chuxi’s words clearly showed that she didn’t really believe what advisor Yin had said.

Although the ethereal sect residence was only a third-grade sect residence now, it had been a first-grade sect residence in the past. It was not surprising for people who were a few years old to know about the people of the ethereal sect residence. However, the younger generation did not know much about it. The words of advisor Yin could not prove anything, but the possibility of him testing Ling Chuxi was greater.

“It’s good that you can think this way. ” Although the shopkeeper did not have much cultivation, he had been guarding this Tavern all his life and had seen many people from all walks of life. His eyesight was not that good, and he could see Ling Chuxi’s suspicion, so he continued,”over the years, there have been many disciples from the aristocratic families and sect residences passing by apricot city. They were all pulled to the city Lord’s mansion by advisor Yin with similar reasons and never appeared again. Just a few days ago, there were also a few disciples from the blue Wind sword sect who followed advisor Yin to the city Lord’s mansion and never appeared again.”

“Oh?” Ling Chuxi looked at the shopkeeper in confusion. From the looks of steward Wang and advisor Yin, the strength of the city Lord’s mansion was no weaker than an ordinary ancient family. Why would they want to rope in disciples from other families ‘sect residences? and from the shopkeeper’s words, it was very likely that those people had already met with mishaps.

“I shouldn’t have said too much, but I see that you two are chivalrous. I’m not young anymore, and I don’t have many years left to live. My son and daughter-in-law met with mishaps in their early years, and my only grandson is seriously ill. I don’t know if he can survive, so I want to remind you. It’s also a good karma.

“This advisor Yin is a sinister and vicious person. His words must not be trusted. Those world sect’s sect residence disciples who were roped in by him in the past did not have a good ending. You must not fall for his tricks.

Also, I’ve heard of the Haojia village you asked about before. It’s at the foot of the misty cloud Peak. 60 years ago, a sudden disease broke out in the village, and the Hao clan members died one after another. Even a few spirit alchemists they invited back died. After that, some of the Hao clan members ran away, and the village should have been empty by now.

When this incident first came out, apricot Sun City was also in chaos for a while. Later, the city Lord issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from mentioning Haojia village, or they would be killed without mercy. As time went by, most of the older generation had died, and there were only a few people in apricot Sun City who knew about Haojia village. It’s a good thing you met me. If you mention it in front of outsiders, I’m afraid you’ll attract an undeserved disaster. ” The shopkeeper said slowly.
