Chapter 277 You underestimate yourself, Xiao Nishang
"boom!"
Shi Qingyi slammed the moon-white wine gourd on the table, and then she leaned over the table. Her pink lips, moistened by the wine, opened weakly a few times:
"If only I knew why he left me, I could punch him to death."
“Is that so?” Yun Nishang was a little disappointed. She was obviously close to the correct answer, but she was told to explore the area ahead later.
However, Yun Nishang also knew that Shi Qingyi did not lie to her this time, because she could see that "unhappiness" was written all over Shi Qingyi's little face.
They were master and apprentice who had been together day and night for three years, but one day the apprentice wanted to run away from home secretly. Anyone would be very sad. One will develop feelings for a puppy after raising it for three years.
"If you really want to know why, you can wait for your senior brother to come back in a month and ask him in person. Maybe he will tell you the answer."
When saying this, Shi Qingyi did not look at Yun Nishang, but slowly shook the moon-white wine gourd in her hand.
Yun Nishang smiled softly and said, "Master, you are joking. My eldest brother didn't even tell you why he left home, so how could he possibly tell me, my little junior sister who just came to the mountain a few days ago."
Yun Nishang put down the wine gourd in her hand, finally raised her head, and then looked at Yun Nishang meaningfully: "You underestimate yourself, little Nishang."
Ok?
I underestimated myself. What did Shi Qingyi mean by this? Could it be that she discovered the secret of her rebirth?
wrong! wrong!
She probably didn't notice that there was no wariness in the look in her eyes when she looked at me. On the contrary, there was a hint of resentment and disgust, as if she was jealous of me.
It's inexplicable, what vinegar can I eat?
Yun Nishang felt surprised at this moment. She looked at Shi Qingyi in confusion and was about to ask her what she meant.
But Shi Qingyi picked up the wine gourd on the table, then jumped to the ground. A barely perceptible white light flashed in the room, and she disappeared out of thin air.
Then I heard the sound of drinking: "It's getting late, Xiao Nishang, take a rest, and continue training tomorrow."
"Oh, okay, good night, Master." Yun Nishang said softly into the air. She felt that Master Qingyi would definitely be able to hear it with her level of cultivation.
Yun Nishang sat at the table, holding her cheek with one hand, looking at the sunset outside the window. The orange-yellow sunset was beautiful, but she had no intention of appreciating it because of the penultimate sentence Shi Qingyi said before she left.
"Don't underestimate yourself, don't underestimate yourself... What does that mean? And why did Shi Qingyi look at me like that?"
......
East Desert, Rainbow Town.
Otherwise, it is said that the disciples of Qingyun Xianmen are not ordinary. Before Bai Xianer left for a while, Han Feiyu came to Ning Changge with the information he had collected.
Han Feiyu reported: "Brother Ning, the people gathered here have asked clearly, they only ask us to help them find their missing daughter."
"But from what I have learned and my many years of travel experience, these missing women may have met with accidents long ago."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Ning Changge nodded slightly, then turned to look at the mayor and asked:
"Mr. Mayor, do you know the specific names, ages, places of disappearance, and times of disappearance of those missing women?"
Wang Baoguo said respectfully, "Ning Shangxian, my name is Wang Baoguo. I dare not accept the title of town mayor anymore. If you don't suggest it, just call me Mayor Wang."
Ning Changge said "hmm" softly, motioning him to continue.
Mayor Wang continued, his wrinkled face full of regret:
"At first, only a few villagers nearby lost their daughters, but they didn't go looking for them, nor did they tell me. When villagers in the town behind started losing their daughters, it was too late. More than a hundred girls were missing."
Ning Changge frowned slightly and said, "So, you mean there is only a list of the missing women now?"
Mayor Wang nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's my fault, it's all my fault, ah!"
Bai Xian'er had come closer to Ning Changge again without him noticing. She blinked her bright eyes and looked at Mayor Wang with a puzzled look on her face:
"Why didn't you look for them in the beginning? Shouldn't you be anxious if you lost your daughter? Aren't they their daughters?"
"This……"
Looking at the lively and beautiful girl in front of him, Mayor Wang suddenly thought of his missing granddaughter. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
At this time, Ning Changge spoke slowly: "Because for ordinary people, whether it is doing physical labor or making money to support the family, women are far inferior to men, and they are even inferior to the livestock in the family."
"Besides, they will have to get married when they grow up, which means they will lose a labor force for nothing. Instead of this, let them disappear. This way, we can save food rations and not worry about their marriages."
This kind of thing was very common in ancient history before the time travel, and Ning Changge had long been accustomed to it. After all, it was common for people to eat their own children during famines.
However, it is different for Bai Xianer, who has lived in Qingyun Immortal Sect since childhood.
Bai Xian'er couldn't believe her ears. She stared at Wang Baoguo in a daze:
"Mayor Wang, is that really the case? In your eyes, women are worse than livestock."
Mayor Wang lowered his head in shame. He didn't dare to look at Bai Xian'er, nor did he have the heart to lie to this lovely girl. Although she was a disciple of the Immortal Sect, Wang Baoguo could feel that she had a kind and innocent heart.
"How could you do this?! Aren't women human beings?!"
Seeing this scene, Bai Xian'er didn't need to ask any more questions, she already knew the answer. Her eyes instantly turned red and she yelled at Mayor Wang.
Mayor Wang sighed, "Girl, you are very lucky to be born in an immortal sect. You don't know how difficult it is for us ordinary people to survive."
"And we didn't treat our daughters differently. We still took good care of them. As powerless mortals like us, we can only watch them disappear."
Han Feiyu, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this and asked:
"Isn't there a cultivation sect called Medicine King Valley next door to you? Can you ask them for help?"
Mayor Wang glanced at Han Feiyu and said calmly, "We looked for him, but it was useless. Apart from sending a few disciples to take a look, they said he was eaten by a monster and then went back."
"But I have lived here for decades since I was a child. I know whether the monsters in the Myriad Beasts Mountains eat humans or not."
"And I don't know what happened these days. They haven't sent anyone over."
Han Feiyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but what came out of his mouth was:
"Ok."
Han Feiyu could understand what Yaowang Valley did. After all, there was a world of difference between cultivators and mortals. It was your great luck that I could come and see it.
But to be honest, if Ning Changge hadn't emphasized to them on the road that they should live in peace with the people, he wouldn't have wanted to pay any attention to this group of mortals. After all, they were not on the same level.
"Excuse me!" Bai Xian'er didn't believe the old man. "If you were really just standing there watching, why are you asking us to help you now?!"
Before Wang Baoguo could reply, Ning Changge smiled and stretched out his hand to Bai Xianer's silky hair, gently rubbing her little head:
"Well, just curse and vent your anger. Mayor Wang has said that it's not easy for them, the common people."
Bai Xian'er grabbed the warm hand on her head, her big watery eyes flashing with anger: "Brother Ning, we shouldn't help them, they are all bad guys who only know how to bully weak women!"
