Chapter 380: Everything is the conspiracy of the Desire Realm Demon King

After Wen Rui's hard work over the years, the Jinling Immortal Sect has been transformed.

From a destroyed sect with only one mortal leader who was a remnant of the Jiejiao and was hated by everyone, it leapt into one of the most powerful sects in the mortal world.

In fact, it is so huge that it cannot be defined as a sect.

The Chamber of Commerce, the Wen clan's fiefdom, the land base, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Monster Production Alliance...

In addition, in recent years, there have been countless disciples who have received systematic Jiejiao education and have spread to the Southern Continent. These people have already made their mark in the various vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and some of them have already entered the court.

As the Free City in the core ruling area of the Jinling Immortal Sect, Wen Rui believed that he had run it like an iron barrel and it would be difficult for anyone to cause trouble under his nose.

Thinking about it now, I was a little too arrogant and underestimated the endless stream of senior masters emerging in the prehistoric world.

Suppressing the numerous questions in his mind, Wen Rui asked bluntly: "I'll give you a hint. Did those female guests mention any special men? Especially the purple-dressed female guest, did she show the state of a woman in love?"

"No way, my sisters will never be attracted to despicable men in the mortal world."

Before the hotel staff could say anything, Princess Longji could no longer hold back and scolded, "Don't you dare to slander others and mislead them!"

Wen Rui looked at him coldly and said, "If you know how to investigate, then please take over immediately. I will only listen to your orders and will not say another word. Is that ok?"

"This..." Princess Longji was choked and her voice stagnated: "My mother ordered me to assist her, you can't shirk your responsibility."

"Since you know I'm the one in charge, just shut up!"

Wen Rui said sternly, "Nothing is impossible in this world. Haven't you always looked down on men in the world? But the matchmaker just made a red thread and married me, the most worthless apostate disciple of Jiejiao? Could it be that the matchmaker secretly interfered and secretly gave Fairy Yuqiao a love poison like he did to you?"

Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them. Princess Longji's eyes turned red on the spot. It was not because she was so angry that she was about to cry and drop her little pearl, but because she was so angry that she wanted to tear Wen Rui apart on the spot.

Her marriage with Hong Jin was one of the ill-fated relationships created by Yue Lao, who said that marriage was destined by heaven. In order to win over Hong Jin, Princess Longji had to sacrifice herself and marry him.

At that time, Princess Longji was also bewitched by a ghost. She was bewitched by the magic red rope of marriage and lost her mind. She agreed in a daze and married this defeated general who was far inferior to her.

This is exactly what it means to be in love. You still have a filter when looking at the other person. When things return to normal after marriage, your married life is a mess. Now when you look at Longde Star Lord Hong Jin again, you feel more and more disgusted with him.

I hate everyone in my family so much that I'm almost becoming misogynistic.

Some time ago, Wen Rui denounced Yue Lao in Lingxiao Palace, framing the old immortal and having him thrown into prison. Long Ji was watching from the Doubu Immortal Class, and secretly felt infinite joy and relief in his heart.

She even began to believe the doubts raised by Wen Rui in the court. Maybe there really was a devil in the desire realm who was causing trouble, instigating the old matchmaker to randomly match couples and harm good people in the name of heaven.

Even though she was extremely angry, Princess Longji knew she was in the wrong and had no way to refute Wen Rui's scolding, so she could only swallow her anger, bite her lip and said nothing more.

After sending Princess Longji away, Wen Rui said to the three hotel employees, "Don't worry about her. Keep thinking and say it out when you think of it." The Lishui merman manager of the guest room department said, "Director, I remember that the purple-robed guest did mutter to herself about a man when she was alone in the room. When she talked about that man, she spoke in a hesitant tone, but now I think she must have been feeling a little excited."

"Very good, is there anything else?" Wen Rui's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"I was just doing room service, and I stopped at the door and overheard it. I realized there was another guest in the room, so I immediately left quietly according to hotel regulations. I didn't hear anything else clearly."

The fat manager of the catering department interjected, "When I was patrolling the restaurant, I overheard the guests chatting while dining. One of the female guests jokingly said to the purple-dressed female guest that she always insisted on going to the bars, dance halls, and concert halls near Jinling University, and asked if she wanted to meet someone again. I think the someone they were talking about must be the man that the purple-dressed female guest mentioned to herself."

Wen Rui immediately controlled the chip in his brain to retrieve the academic records of Jinling University. He also performed intelligent screening, scored them according to their appearance, and listed a list of male students in the past seven years.

There are thousands of people on the list, so although it narrows the scope, it is still limited.

What's more, the men you meet near Jinling University may not necessarily be students of Jinling University.

There was still too little information to further narrow the scope of the investigation, so Wen Rui asked several managers to gather a group of employees and conduct another round of questioning in the hotel conference room.

But after all, three years have passed, and many people's memories have become vague. Many employees can't even remember receiving the Seven Fairies.

Those who can become managers are obviously more capable and intelligent than ordinary employees. The information provided by all the employees combined is not as good as that of the three managers.

The only gain was that a waiter from the catering department confirmed that Fairy Yuqiao liked to go to the commercial street near Jinling University. She also sneaked into Jinling University and sat in on classes in the classroom.

The waiter accidentally heard Yuqiao talking with six other guests about the Jiejiao knowledge taught at Jinling University. They spoke highly of it and said that if they had the chance, they would like to study at Jinling University.

It sounds like the same clichéd plot where the handsome scholar who studied hard meets the top fairy girl.

However, the student did not read the Confucian classics or the books of sages, but the new knowledge series of textbooks of the Jiejiao compiled by Wen Rui.

But there is no male student named Dong Yong in the academic records of Jinling University.

If it really is the old-fashioned plot of a talented man and a beautiful woman falling in love but being separated, then it would be fine. The worst result would be buy one get one free.

But the time-travel camera was interfered with, which made Wen Rui think that things might not be that simple.

Besides, it wasn't just Yuqiao who was missing, but all seven sisters disappeared. No matter how charming Dong Yong was, he couldn't possibly kill all seven sisters, right?
Since further questioning yielded no results, Wen Rui had no choice but to give up.

He gave a salary increase to the several hotel employees who provided useful information today, and rewarded them with an opportunity to study in the Jinling Immortal Sect to improve their cultivation level. Only then did he leave the hotel with Long Ji and others.

This time, the destination of the investigation is to go to Jinling University to find out who Fairy Yuqiao has fallen in love with.

After walking out of the hotel, Princess Longji approached Wen Rui and whispered, "Emperor Wen, what you said in Lingxiao Palace to denounce Yue Lao, is it true? I was just suspicious before, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. How can fairies in heaven like us get a good marriage? It's all just a bad fate... Or maybe it's just a conspiracy of the Desire Realm Demon King..."
