Chapter 1003 What’s Wrong With Him
Taoist Master Liuming also sized Xiao Qiao up, but his eyes were not focused. He did not dare to look too much, so he cupped his hands and said, “My lords, I didn’t do anything wrong…”
“Have you seen any suspicious people pa.s.sing by recently?” The guard asked casually.
Liuming quickly shook his head. “No.”
“Then do you know Bao Yi?” Xie Qiao also tried to find a topic to talk to this person, so that she could look more carefully.
When Liuming heard that, he quickly nodded, “I know him. He’s a hooligan who lives outside the city. Earlier, when I was out of the city, I happened to meet him. I talked to him a few times and we became friends. Sir, did something happen?
“Ah, I told him long ago that he would be unlucky if his temples turned black, but he didn’t listen…” Liuming sighed. After saying that, he looked embarra.s.sed.
Xie Qiao frowned.
“Are the two of you the only ones living here?” Xie Qiao asked again.
“Yes, it’s just the two of us. I was lucky a few days ago. I made some money and bought this place. Finally, I don’t need to rent a house.” He was quite happy.
However, when he met the guard’s eyes, he was a little absent-minded and quickly looked away.
Xie Qiao felt that there was something wrong with this person, but she could not tell what was wrong with him.
“Did you set up a soul-gathering wealth-generating formation?” Xie Qiao raised her eyebrows and looked at every expression of this person carefully. “Formation? Yes, yes, yes, I set it up. The purpose is to gather wealth. I don’t want to be poor anymore…” Liuming smiled awkwardly. He did not look like an expert at all. The guards only think that he was a Taoist master, but the difference was too big. Master Mo seemed to be more powerful, but she was never so fl.u.s.tered and terrified when faced with trouble. Moreover, she always had a calm appearance, calm and unrestrained like an immortal.
Xie Qiao asked a few more questions.
It was nothing more than when he usually went out and who he met.
After listening to him, she did not find anything wrong with it. She could not stay here forever, so she led her people out of the place.
“Take care, officers.” Before closing the door, the young Taoist bowed respectfully to Xie Qiao and the others.
However, Xie Qiao stopped in her tracks.
Something was wrong.
She remembered what was wrong…
This place… was too clean.
“What’s wrong, Master?” The guard saw her serious expression and quickly asked.
“There’s a soul-gathering wealth-generating formation. Logically speaking, with this formation, there would definitely be some souls that died due to greed around here. However… there’s nothing here.” Xie Qiao looked around.
“When I came to this place, I walked through a few streets and alleys. After many twists and turns, I also met quite a number of people.
“At first, there were also ghouls on the side of the road. However, after entering this street and alleyway, it seemed that… there are no more ghouls.
“However, there are quite a number of residents in the surroundings. Logically speaking, there should be more or less some ghouls in the places where there are residents…
“Something is indeed wrong with Taoist Master Liuming!
“However…”
Xie Qiao knocked on her head. She felt a slight headache, so she decided not to leave. She sat at the door and thought carefully while sitting in the carriage.
After about two hours, the door opened again. The young Taoist walked out and bowed respectfully. Then, he went out to buy something “Do you think master will take in a disciple? Master Mo is so powerful that I want my son to learn from her!”
“You wish. Master is an expert and also Old Master Li’s disciple. No matter what kind of disciple he is, she won’t accept him easily, right? Your son… Don’t tell me you want him to be a young Taoist?”
“What’s wrong with being a young Taoist? Cultivate more and live a long life, that’s fine too!”
