Chapter 18 Sister's Clue

After dressing up briefly, Bai Zhiqian and Xiao Yueya sat together at the stone table in the courtyard. On the table were simply two bowls of Lingmi porridge and a few steamed buns.

They simply enjoyed breakfast in the morning sunshine, which was a bit comfortable.

"Little Yueya, how did you sleep last night?"

"Sister Bai, I slept well." Little Yueya bit the steamed bun, took another big mouthful of porridge, squinted her eyes, just like a happy kitten.

Seeing her like this, Bai Zhiqian was also very happy, so she smiled softly, "Little Yueya, I assure you, everything will be fine."

"Well, I believe it too."

Seeing that Xiao Yueya's mood gradually stabilized, she also planned to get down to business. After thinking about it for a while, she still wanted to start with the other party's sister, which was currently her only clue to find Shadow.

"Little Yueya, did your sister do anything strange before she disappeared, or did she say anything?"

Little Yueya frowned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so. At that time, my sister was the same as usual, but she felt a little more haggard."

"That's right." She suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "My sister mentioned to me that she has found a new job and will soon lead me to a good life."

Bai Zhiqian immediately asked, "Did she mention the specific content of her work? Perhaps this is the key to her disappearance."

"No, I asked my sister, but she didn't tell me anything." Little Crescent Moon looked disappointed, "I remember her face was ugly at that time, so I didn't dare to ask, I should really care about my sister. "

Does the clue stop here?

Bai Zhiqian was a little disappointed, but at least she had a clue, as long as she found the place where sister Xiao Yueya worked, there might be clues to the shadow.

"Little Yueya, does your sister have any close friends?"

"It doesn't seem to be. At first, my sister was moving goods at the dock, and she worked hard every day until the evening, but she has always been alone."

"Let's go, then let's go to the dock." Bai Zhiqian immediately had an idea. "Since your sister has been there, maybe you can find a clue."

Without further ado, after she greeted Yi Yao, the two left immediately.

……

Looking at the huge wharf and the floating spirit boat that was still unloading, Bai Zhiqian sighed slightly. There was indeed a big gap between what she imagined and what she saw with her own eyes.

The Qingxuan Continent is extremely huge, with four human empires located in four directions. Ye Qiucheng is just a small city located in the westernmost Xinghui Empire, and the distance between each city is far away. The transportation of goods depends entirely on this unique floating spirit boat.

But obviously there is such a convenient spiritual weapon, but it still depends on manpower to carry the goods, because mortals are like ants to practitioners, and they are the cheapest labor.

The arrival of Bai Zhiqian and Little Crescent Moon did not attract attention, and the eyes of the porters outside were gloomy. The mechanized transport day after day was enough to make too many people numb.

"It seems that there are no clues on the outside, we have to go deeper." Without hesitation, she took Xiao Yueya and walked straight forward.

Although there are people patrolling here and there, Bai Ningshuang is now in full swing, no one wants to confront the Bai family head-on, even though there are many people staring at Bai Zhiqian, no one comes to stop her, not even basic inquiries.

It seemed to be more chaotic inside, even the air was muddy, there were even fights in several places, and there were countless people watching around, some of them even looked very excited, but the noisy environment made Little Crescent Moon's expression ugly.

"So sister... Did she work in this kind of place before? I didn't even know it. She worked so hard every day, and I didn't care at all."

"For a heartless sister like me, she should really leave me behind. I dragged her down..."

Bai Zhiqian sighed softly, and comforted her with a complicated expression, "Little Yueya, it's not your fault, it's the world that's wrong."

This is a cruel world. If you don't have spiritual roots, you can't practice. You will always be just a low-level mortal, and you can only be forced to do these things in order to survive.

However, the workers here are obviously much more flexible. They don't exhaust themselves to the point of exhaustion by doing hard work blindly. In their spare time, they gather together to gamble on spirit stones through a common card game.

But the more clever ones will surround some immortal cultivators in various ways to curry favor and even take the initiative to do some errand tasks in order to get rewards.

No, not long after Bai Zhiqian stepped here, a man approached her.

With a cold expression on her face, she held the scabbard and asked, "What do you want to do, get out of the way."

"My lord, I've been observing you for a long time. It should be your first time here. The villain's name is Wang Wu, and he is very familiar with this place. I can meet any needs."

Bai Zhiqian sneered, "If I say I want to find someone here, can you do it?"

"Then you are asking the right person." Wang Wu said triumphantly, "Although there are many people here, I always like to make friends. There are not many people I don't know."

"Do you know Ling Yue?"

This is the name of Little Crescent Sister.

Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, a look of panic flashed across his face, and he didn't answer for a long time.

"Didn't you say you know everyone?" Bai Zhiqian looked at him coldly, "Are you trying to deceive me?"

"A villain would never dare." Wang Wu said hastily, "I do know Ling Yue, but I don't know if it's worth mentioning."

Bai Zhiqian figured it out, so she wanted money.

She readily took out a spirit stone and threw it over, "Take it, can we talk now?"

Wang Wu put away the Lingshi, his face was extremely excited, and he continued, "Ling Yue has been working at the dock of Lei's house before, because she is quite pretty, and she works harder than some men when she lifts things. It’s still getting a lot of attention.”

"However, she has always been alone. She comes here very early every day and only goes back at night. It is said that she also has a younger sister. She does this to raise her younger sister."

Little Crescent suddenly lowered her head in a lonely way, her eyes were slightly red, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Zhiqian held her hand to comfort her, and continued to ask, "Then how about it recently, is Ling Yue still moving things here?"

"She hasn't been here for a long time." Wang Wu replied, "Obviously she made an agreement with the supervisor above, but the person disappeared the next day, but most of us think something happened to her."

"After all, the life of a mortal is too fragile. Any disaster can kill us. Although I don't know who you are, but since you are looking for her, it means that she is really missing, right?"

"Don't ask more about things you shouldn't know." Bai Zhiqian frowned and said coldly, "Now take me to the dock where she works."

But Wang Wu refused, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do this. It's Lei's wharf, and not everyone can get in casually. Although you are from the Bai family, I'm afraid they won't give you this face." .”

Ray family?How could the Lei family be involved again?But she had to see it anyway.

"Take me there first, and you don't have to worry about other things." Bai Zhiqian didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and threw him a spirit stone directly.

"Got it!"

It was just leading the way, Wang Wu naturally did not refuse when he got the Lingshi.
