Si Yufan rolled his eyes at it and told it the story he heard downstairs.

Xiaobai didn't say a word after listening, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, it flapped its wings a few times, looked up at Si Yufan and said:

"It's unlikely that spiritual beasts did it. If they really wanted to eat people, why bother?

As for abducting beautiful women for fun, some spiritual beasts do do this, but they can't do it without leaving traces."

Si Yufan pondered for a moment: "It seems that the murderer is more likely to be an evil alliance or a mysterious organization. Xiaobai, you have to remember, no matter what happens these days, try not to show up in front of strangers."

"I know, I know. Having said that, the top priority now is not for you to act like a hero and catch bad guys, but to find a way to get the voucher to enter the auction!"

Xiaobai didn't even look at him and added: "If you have nothing else to do, get out of here and don't affect my alchemy!"

Si Yufan smiled helplessly, turned around and came to Lin Xuefei's room.

He fed the elixir to Lin Xuefei and saw that her face gradually turned a little rosy, then he asked:

"Miss Lin, I have something to ask you. Do you know of any kind of evil cultivator that likes to prey on beautiful women?"

When Lin Xuefei heard this, her pretty face suddenly tensed up, she quietly took half a step back, and uttered a sentence with trembling lips: "You...what are you going to do?"

Si Yufan slapped his forehead.

Yes, this is a misunderstanding.

He quickly recounted what he saw downstairs.

"So that's it." Lin Xuefei's face flushed a little, and she tilted her body toward Si Yufan, with a hint of sadness evident in her brows:

"I do know that some evil cultivators will use dual cultivation to absorb nutrients from other people's bodies. But they will always choose women with a certain level of cultivation, and they will rarely abduct girls from ordinary families so blatantly."

Si Yufan nodded: "So, this matter has nothing to do with the evil alliance?"

Lin Xuefei shook her head: "That's not necessarily true. I don't know much about evil cultivators."

"It seems like it would be better for Miss Lin to be more careful in the near future."

Si Yufan turned around and was about to leave. There were very few clues about this matter, and it was very detrimental to him. If he didn't figure it out as soon as possible, it would develop into a trouble sooner or later.

"Sir."

"What's wrong?"

Si Yufan looked back and happened to meet Lin Xuefei's bright eyes.

She lowered her head slightly shyly and said softly: "I want to go shopping on the street and buy some changes of clothes."

Si Yufan glanced at the wrinkled clothes on her body and sighed: "Try to hurry up."

The two were walking on the street, and Lin Xuefei deliberately stayed two feet away from him. The busy stalls on both sides firmly caught Lin Xuefei's eyes.

She was like a merry rabbit, shuttling between the stalls, and from time to time she would burst into laughter like silver bells, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Miss Lin, have you never gone shopping?" Si Yufan was curious.

Lin Xuefei shook her head: "I have been practicing in the sect since I was a child. This is the first time I have gone down the mountain since I grew up."

"What is that?" Lin Xuefei pointed at the vendor on the street and asked crisply.

"That's a candy man, sold to children."

Si Yufan turned his head away, only to find Lin Xuefei looking at the candy man, her fingers on her lips, her teeth biting her fingertips, and a drop of crystal liquid flowed out of the corner of her mouth.

He rubbed his brows, sighed and said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, he walked to the seller and ordered two candy figures. One was handed to Lin Xuefei, and the other was wrapped in butter paper and put in his arms, ready to take it back to Xiaobai to eat.

Lin Xuefei took it reservedly and said "thank you" softly.

She took a bite, and the sweetness flowed down her mouth and into her heart, her eyes turned into crescent moons.

Pedestrians on the street, looking at the scene in front of them, stopped unconsciously and looked at her without blinking.

…

After buying clothes, Si Yufan could clearly feel that Lin Xuefei was familiar with him, and they always walked side by side when walking on the street.

Even when she saw some novel things, Lin Xuefei would take the initiative to drag him to join in the fun.

However, the inexplicable disappearance of the girl has always weighed on Si Yufan's heart like a mountain, so naturally he would not be as happy as she was.

Passing by a very majestic-looking building, Si Yufan paused and looked up. There was a row of large gilt characters on the plaque, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"Juxian Tower." Si Yufan stared at the row of big characters and muttered softly.

"What's wrong, Mr. Si?" Lin Xuefei looked back at Si Yufan who had stopped, and asked quickly.

Si Yufan touched the pocket on his waist, lowered his head and considered for a moment. He felt that he had plenty of money, so he smiled slightly at her and said:

“When I first came to the city, people said that Juxianlou’s food was famous for its deliciousness.

I think Xiaobai has been refining the elixir for a day, and he must be very tired now. Why don't you wait for me here for a while, and I'll buy some dishes to take back, so we can have something good tonight."

The corners of Lin Xuefei's mouth curled up unconsciously, and she nodded obediently while swallowing.

Si Yufan stepped into the store and looked up to see a familiar figure walking towards him.

The man showed a flattering smile when meeting everyone, and he was clearly a drugstore clerk.

When he saw Si Yufan, he was slightly startled, then put on his flattering smile again, nodded slightly to Si Yufan, and left the restaurant.

Si Yufan watched him go away gradually, his eyes tightly narrowed to a slit.

Why is he here? Doesn't he need to sell goods at this time?

Si Yufan glanced at Lin Xuefei, who was still waiting at the door, and looked into the store from time to time, shaking his head.

Forget it, let's buy food first and then go out to check it out in the evening.

Soon, Si Yufan had two exquisite suitcases in his hands.

When he walked to the door, he saw Lin Xuefei surrounded by several big men in the middle of the street.

The men's faces were drooling with saliva, and they were teasing them wantonly.

The girl who was surrounded in the center had a stern look on her face and clenched her teeth. She held a jade rose in her hand and tried to break out of the encirclement, but they always forced her back.

"Girl, don't think about running away. Come and have fun with me! I am a spiritual practitioner. Follow me and I will ensure that you enjoy the good life and drink spicy food."

A big man stretched out his hand to grab Lin Xuefei's wrist.

Lin Xuefei shook off his palm and subconsciously shook the rose at him, but the rose showed no reaction.

She took half a step back, took a deep breath to calm down, and then asked: "You dare to rob a woman on the street in broad daylight, aren't you a little too arrogant?"

Several men heard this and laughed loudly.

When they had laughed enough, the man who reached out before took a step forward, reached out and pinched her chin, and said with a wicked smile on his face:

"Arrogant? I am a cultivator. What can you ordinary people do to me? Let me tell you today, even if the officials of the city lord's palace come, I can still take you away!"

After speaking, he waved to the other people around him.
