At dusk, Chen Huan and his party dragged their exhausted bodies back to the city lord's mansion.

Xiao Tasha, in particular, looked pale and could hardly stand. She leaned half of her body on Chen Huan and was almost lifted back.

"What immortal masters are...?" The steward of the guest house who came out to greet him was greatly surprised when he saw this, "Do you want me to report it to the housekeeper?"

"No need." Chen Huan didn't look too good. He took a breath and then said, "I just walked a long way today, nothing serious. Please bring some water for us to freshen up... By the way, Junior Brother Pei

Woolen cloth?"

The noise of their group's return was quite big. Even the steward of the guest house was alarmed. As a monk, there was no reason why Pei Ling couldn't hear it.

But he hasn't shown up yet, so it can't be that he's still sleeping?

Seeing the confused look on the steward's face, Chen Huan immediately said to Chen Mei: "Go and have a look. Junior Brother Pei is not feeling well!"

Chen Mei didn't dare to be lazy, didn't care about being tired, and went in a hurry. When she arrived at the small building and asked, her expression suddenly changed: "What?! Pei Ling isn't here? Where did he go? When did he go out?"

The maid responsible for serving Pei Ling knelt on the ground and trembled: "I don't know what I said to the fairy."

"What does she, a mortal, know?" After receiving the news, Chen Huan rushed over in person, glanced at the maid, and thinking of Lord Duanmu, he finally suppressed the urge to express his anger, took a deep breath, and scolded in a deep voice, "

Instead of asking her, why don't you ask yourself, if you can't even coax a boy who is on the fourth level of Qi training, why do you eat him?"

"Didn't you put Thousand Miles on him? Why don't you let the tracer bees look for him? Where did he go?!"

Chen Mei did not dare to refute, so she quickly took out the tracer bee, closed her eyes to communicate with him for a moment, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Brother, the others are still in the city."

"In the city? Is he hiding?" Chen Huan sneered slightly, "Where is he roughly now?"

"It seems..." Chen Mei concentrated for a moment, showing doubts, "It seems like... the market?"

"Market?" Chen Huan suddenly turned to the maid just now and shouted, "How brave! How dare you lie in front of me! Junior Brother Pei is new here. Since he wants to go to the market, why don't he ask you for the route?! How dare you?

I don’t know what to say!”

The maidservant was very bitter. She was just a mortal slave. How could she offend any monk?

Originally he was thinking of tricking him into passing the test, but now he could only confess honestly: "When I went back to the Immortal Master, it was the Immortal Master Pei who specifically told me not to disclose his whereabouts..."

Hearing these words, both brothers and sisters changed their expressions and said in unison: "How could he know?!"

At this moment, in Luoshan City Market, in the teahouse.

Pei Ling was drinking a pot of tea gloomily.

The customs and customs here are very different from those in Luquan City. There are more practitioners. He has gained a lot of knowledge while wandering around.

The problem is that he is not here to expand his horizons, he is here to find a way to earn spiritual stones.

What's the result?

Nothing was found.

There were even a few bold brokers who saw his identity as a monk and came to sell so-called "ancestral skills" and "secret magic weapon fragments" in an attempt to get some spiritual stones from him. Pei Ling was very annoyed and showed his

He was sent away only because he was a disciple of Chongming Sect.

When it was time to hold the lamp, Pei Ling drank the last sip of tea, stood up, threw some broken silver on the table, and turned downstairs with some dejection.

Just as I was going out, I suddenly heard a loud shout from behind me: "Pei Ling!"

Pei Ling recognized Chen Mei's voice and felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and turned around.

They saw Chen Mei running over first, followed by Zhang Zhongqin. The two of them walked quickly to Pei Ling and immediately pinched him from left to right. Chen Mei shouted sternly: "Didn't you say you were going to be in the guest house today?"

Rest, why did you run out?!"

"Senior Sister Chen, I originally wanted to rest, but I couldn't fall asleep after lying on the couch for a while, so I went out for a walk." Pei Ling knew that he was in the wrong and quickly explained, "I thought that my senior brothers and sisters might also be resting, so I didn't say anything.

."

Zhang Zhongqin said with a calm face: "Since we are a team, you should tell us when you come in and out. Otherwise, why don't we worry if you disappear inexplicably?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Seeing Pei Ling apologizing repeatedly and looking sincere, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. After exchanging glances, Chen Mei softened her tone and hummed: "Forget it this time.

Next time, see if I still pay attention to you."

Pei Ling laughed dryly: "It's all my fault. Please give me a lot, Senior Sister."

After all this apology, the situation finally relaxed. Zhang Zhongqin looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the city lord's palace."

Pei Ling didn't respond, so the three of them walked back together. However, when they met a shop on the road, Chen Mei hesitated: "Senior Sister Xiao said that cinnabar and talisman paper are not enough. This shop seems to sell them?"

Zhang Zhongqin frowned and said, "Send Junior Brother Pei back first."

Chen Mei stopped hesitating after hearing this, but Pei Ling was slightly startled by this scene: Since Senior Sister Xiao has already passed by the door of the shop if she needs something, why don't we go in and buy something and then go back together?

He was about to ask his doubts when he suddenly noticed that from just now until now, Chen Mei and Zhang Zhongqin had sandwiched him in between, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were afraid that he would run away.

"What's going on?" Pei Ling was secretly frightened and thought about it. She pretended not to notice and just asked Chen Mei: "Senior Sister Chen, what did you do today? You look very tired."

Chen Mei said calmly: "Of course we have something to do, you will know when the time comes."

She seemed to be dissatisfied with Pei Ling going out to go shopping in private. Her attitude changed from the enthusiasm of the previous days and became much colder. She also urged, "Junior Brother Pei, hurry up. We have to go into the mountains to do a mission tomorrow, so we have to be early."

Just rest."

"Yes." Pei Ling became suspicious, but kept a calm expression on his face and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will rest when I get back."

While they were talking, they passed by a group of mortals. Because the road was narrow and it was difficult to walk side by side, Pei Ling walked behind Zhang Zhongqin, but Chen Mei came over and took the initiative to hold his arm.

Her hold was so tight that Pei Ling couldn't break free.

This made Pei Ling's heart sink.

I feel more and more that something is wrong.

After a while, the three of them returned to the city lord's mansion. When they passed a bamboo forest in the mansion, Pei Ling naturally turned his head and asked Chen Mei: "Senior Sister Chen, how much does Senior Sister know about the flower demon?"

Chen Mei's eyes flickered and she said: "Anyway, it's only the fourth level of Kaihui, which is similar to our cultivation level. Two against one, what are you afraid of?"

Pei Ling seemed to be listening attentively, but secretly he flicked the sachet he had just stolen from those mortals and threw it behind a clump of bamboo.

He moved covertly and asked first to distract the two of them, so that after leaving the bamboo forest, Zhang Zhongqin and Chen Mei did not notice the scene.
