Chapter 876 Extra Story: The Past 28
"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen him? He should have stayed at your store a few days ago."

A woman took out a portrait and stood in front of the counter and asked anxiously.

The man behind the counter squinted his small eyes and leaned over to take a closer look. After a while, he spoke with slight hesitation:
"I think I've seen him before, but it must have been several days. Anyway, I haven't seen him in the past few days."

Hearing this, the woman looked at her companions excitedly and said in an urgent tone:

"Then do you know exactly when he left?"

The shopkeeper looked at them, "What are you looking for him for?"

The person who was traveling with the woman immediately explained, "Well, he is our friend. We made an appointment to meet in the city. A few days ago, he sent us a message saying that he had arrived in advance and was waiting for us here. But now we Can’t reach him.”

To be precise, I haven't been able to contact him for several days.

At first they thought it was because of something delayed, but later they realized something was wrong and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Seeing that those people's worries didn't seem to be fake, the shopkeeper pulled out an account book:
"Then let me check it for you."

A check of the ledger confirmed that the man they were looking for had indeed been in the store a few days ago, but no one had seen him in the store since five days ago.

The missing person paid for three days' room, and the people in the store didn't know exactly when he disappeared. They just went to look for him when the three-day room payment was due, but found that he had disappeared.

There was no luggage left in the room, so the store thought the guest had left on his own and didn't think much about it.

Now that people have lost contact, it sounds a little strange, but the store will not take the blame.

Being willing to provide them with information definitely makes the store feel like they are being kind-hearted.

"Could it be that he had something urgent to do and left? Whether he entered or left the city, there are records. Why don't you go over there and ask?"

After checking, they really found it.

The man left the city four days ago.

"How is this possible! He will definitely send us a message when he leaves."

"How is it? Did he send us a message?"

"not yet"

"Tell me, will something happen to him?"

These words made several people's faces look a little ugly. What could happen to them? Not even a letter could be sent, and no trace could be found.

Is this man dead?

"Can you guess what's going on?" Li Huan looked at the group of people who were distressed by the disappearance of their companions and asked Long Ying.

Earlier, when the group of people came to the store to ask, they noticed it. Now that they met again, Li Huan was also curious about what was going on.

"Probably." Taki Ying said confidently.

Li Li didn't believe it. They were watching the fun together, but he was still confused. How could he know it?

He turned to Mo Qin and asked, "Sister, do you know what's going on?"

Mo Qin shook his head and said he didn't know.

The person probably didn't leave on his own, otherwise he wouldn't have had time to send a message to his companions.

If something happened, where did it happen?Outside the city?
There is a record of leaving the city, so the city lord's palace will definitely not care about this matter.

It’s really hard to see people alive and dead.

Li Fu asked Long Ying: "Then do you think he is still alive now?"

"There is a high probability that he is still alive." The tribute to the Heavenly Palace was yesterday. Those tributes that were offered would not die so soon. Most of them were imprisoned with other people who were treated as tributes.

Wait until you need it, then use it.

After all, only what is alive can stay fresh, right?
"Alive? Then where is he now? Why didn't he send the message to his friends?" Li Fu felt that Long should be talking nonsense, but he had no evidence.

Without waiting for Taki Ying to answer, those people rushed over and stared at Taki Ying with burning eyes.

"Fellow Taoist, is what you said true? You said he is still alive?"

Takiying smiled awkwardly at the overly excited people, "I'm just guessing. I'm just saying this to coax children. As you know, children can be easily frightened."

Those people looked at Yuxue's lovely Li Li and fell silent.

"I'm sorry, we're just too worried." Even so, they still didn't want to give up, "Are you also living here? I don't know if you have met any of my friends."

With that said, they took out the portrait again.

"Sorry, we only came here two days ago, so we may not have had the chance to meet your friend."

These words disappointed them.

"Okay. Excuse me. If, if you know anything, please tell us. We will be deeply grateful! Even if it is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter!"

"of course."

Unable to get any useful information, those few people stopped staying and searched as much as possible.

After those people left, Li Fu immediately turned around and asked Long Ying:
"If you don't know, just say you don't know. I won't laugh at you and coax a child? Shameless!"

I usually intimidate him in various ways, but now I have the nerve to say that a child cannot accept such terrible things, ugh!
Mo Qin looked at Li Yan's eyebrows dancing with joy and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed helplessly.

It's probably not just his cultivation that Li Fu needs to improve.

Takiying smiled generously and did not refute.

Li Huan realized something. Maybe he couldn't figure out the key, but he still understood the reactions of Mo Qin and Long Ying.

He immediately rushed to Mo Qin's side, seeking some answers.

Mo Qin used a more euphemistic expression, "I think Taki Ying just said that on purpose. Not to mention whether his guess is correct, even if it is correct, it will be difficult to help, right?"

Taki Ying nodded: "It's almost the same, but the more I say this, I still don't want to help."

Don't want to get in trouble.

Li Li: "Don't want to?"

"What? You want me to give you an answer? How about this? How about you call me master and I will teach you step by step?" Taki Ying smiled proudly. He didn't really want to accept a disciple, but was deliberately teasing her.

I heard that this child suffered a major trauma before transforming, which left behind sequelae. His cultivation speed is slow and maybe he is a bit lacking in mental abilities?
Li Li immediately refused, "I don't want it!"

Although this proposal was rejected by Li Huan without hesitation, Long Ying still revealed what was hidden behind the incident.

Of course not in public, but in a more private place.

After hearing the explanation, even Mo Qin couldn't understand it, let alone Li Li.

"Since the Tiangong is so violent and harsh, forcing the city lords to use this method to make up for the missing tribute, then why don't they unite to resist?"

If one city cannot resist, why not resist together?Why settle for perfection in such a cowardly way?

Taki should be sarcastic, "Maybe they prefer to kneel."
