Chapter 860 Missed (Two Chapters in One)

Eyes facing each other.

Butler Qin and Xiang Honglue were a little confused, because they felt that this slim and ordinary-looking woman gave them a familiar feeling.

Lin Li looked at Butler Qin and Xiang Hong, and he felt a sharp aura from these two people.

Xiang Hong, in particular, had a powerful appearance, and the aura he exuded was not only sharp, but also felt thick. Lin Li judged that this man must be a seasoned master.

"Stop standing around and go home." Lin Li thought Qin Muqing was frightened by the auras emanating from these two strangers, so he stepped forward and shouted.

"Yeah." Qin Muqing came back to her senses, lowered her head and responded softly.

The panic on her face disappeared, and she followed Lin Li obediently, passing by Butler Qin and Xiang Hong.

A faint fragrance floated in the air, and both Butler Qin and Xiang Hong smelled it.

"This scent...?"

"This way, please, two guests." The waiter shouted to Butler Qin and Xiang Hong, who were frowning in thought, interrupting their thoughts.

The two people followed the waiter and came to an empty private room.

"Are you two satisfied here? If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me and I will help you change to a private room." The waiter said with a smile.

At this time, he noticed that the two guests were frowning and thinking, their minds elsewhere.

"Two guests..." The waiter said in confusion, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"The woman we met just now is most likely the eldest lady." Xiang Hong relaxed his frown and said slowly.

"Her figure looks quite similar, and her fragrance..." Butler Qin felt that the second half of the sentence was not suitable to be spoken in public, so he swallowed it back.

He also felt in his heart that the woman just now was probably the eldest lady they were looking for.

Although the identity of the other party cannot be confirmed yet, the two people have been looking for it for several days, with no results at all.

Now that I finally have a clue, I naturally have to seize it and quickly confirm it.

Xiang Hong turned around and ran out of the private room, chasing Lin Li and Qin Muqing as they left.

Upon seeing this, Butler Qin quickly followed. The waiter stood there blankly, then ran out of the private room and shouted to the two people who ran away quickly.

"Two guests, do you want a private room?"

Butler Qin and Xiang Hong had no intention of eating at this time. They didn't respond to the waiter's call and quickly went downstairs.

"What is this?" the confused waiter said to himself depressedly.

…………

There were many people on the street, carriages came and went, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on both sides of the street.

The sun shines on the road, and some trees planted on both sides of the street open up, blocking the hot sunlight and forming a large shady area under the trees.

In order to avoid being exposed to direct sunlight, pedestrians choose to walk under the trees on the street.

Butler Qin and Xiang Hong came out of the restaurant. They looked around, searching the crowds on the street.

"Damn it." Xiang Hong couldn't find the target and was so angry that he stamped his feet.

"Bang." The bluestone bricks laid on the ground were crushed by Xiang Hong's foot. When he lifted his feet, the broken bluestone bricks were trampled into powder.

The passers-by around heard the noise and looked over. They were all frightened when they saw what happened to the bluestone bricks on the ground, and then they stayed away from Xiang Hong for fear of suffering disaster.

"Calm down." Butler Qin noticed that many people around him were looking towards them, so he quickly comforted the irritable Xiang Hong.

"I almost found the eldest lady, how can you tell me to calm down?" Xiang Hong said, his face full of regret.

The distance between each other was less than half a meter before, so why didn't they stop each other to confirm their identity?

"We just speculated that the woman was the eldest lady. Maybe we were mistaken." Butler Qin said calmly, hoping to calm Xiang Hong's impatience.

"The more I think about it now, the more I feel that that woman is the eldest lady... She looks so ordinary, but has such a good figure. She must have used the strange-looking orb to change her appearance." Xiang Hong said firmly.

"..." Butler Qin thought about it and thought so, but it was not easy to continue discussing this matter on the street at this moment.

"The guards are coming, please calm down. If the matter gets too big, it won't end well if it spreads."

Xiang Hong glanced at the guards in the distance, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled to calm his irritable mood.

"Follow me." Butler Qin greeted Xiang Hong, and then the two of them crossed the road and headed to where the carriage was parked.

…………

The coachman was resting at a roadside tea stall. He had simply eaten a bowl of shredded pork noodles just now, and now he was not hungry at all. He was just waiting for the two distinguished adults to come back from lunch.

"Huh?"

Two familiar figures came from a distance, and the coachman who was drinking tea at the tea stall was very surprised, "Why are these two adults back so soon? They ate lunch so fast!"

Steward Qin and Xiang Hong came to the coachman with expressionless faces...Seeing the serious expressions of these two people, the coachman did not dare to say anything and quickly led them to the place where the carriage was parked.

After getting on the carriage, the carriage did not start. Butler Qin and Xiang Hong discussed what had just happened.

"Now we can confirm that the eldest lady is still in Dongwu City. How should we find her next?" Xiang Hong asked.

"Now the tracking of the spiritual weapon cannot determine the location of the eldest lady." Butler Qin glanced at the spiritual weapon in his hand, raised his head and said to Xiang Hong, "Next, we have to use the help of other people to find the eldest lady."

"You mean... we go to Li Dingtian for help?" Xiang Hong said.

"Don't look to Li Dingtian for this matter for now. Now let's go visit some families in Dongwu City. The effect of their actions should be no worse than Li Dingtian's..." Butler Qin said.

Xiang Hong thought for more than ten seconds, then nodded, and then added, "First ask those families to help us find the eldest lady. If they have no results, we will go to Li Dingtian for help..."

Both parties reached an agreement, and the coachman received the order and immediately drove the horse to set off.

The luxurious carriage left the parking place and quickly headed to a nearby family with considerable power in Dongwu City.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Hong asked suspiciously when he saw Butler Qin taking out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"We can't let others search for the eldest lady based only on our dictation! I want to draw a picture of the eldest lady's changed appearance." Butler Qin said.

…………

"Da da da……"

The horses' hooves trampled on the road paved with bluestone piles, making a loud sound.

The old horse pulled the carriage and drove in an orderly manner on the road. Qin Muqing sat on the carriage, replaying what had just happened in his mind.

"My luck is so bad! I went out to go shopping and have a meal, and in this crowded Dongwu City, I unexpectedly met Butler Qin and Guard Xiang."

"How did they know that I was in Dongwu City? It's not safe here now. I have to leave Dongwu City as soon as possible..."

Lin Li saw Qin Muqing staring at the street outside the window in a daze, and felt a little confused, "Why is she so dazed today?"

The carriage soon arrived at the door of the house, and the two people got off and returned home.

"It's the home that makes people feel at ease!" Qin Muqing returned to the villa and looked at the big iron door closing. The panic in her heart disappeared instantly.

He came back after lunch. It was still early and Lin Li had nothing else to do at home and wanted to go out.

So he told Qin Muqing and turned to leave.

Qin Muqing asked, "Mr. Lin, will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"I won't be back at night." Lin Li planned to go out for a walk and go back to Blue Star when it was almost dark.

"Oh." Qin Muqing nodded, then watched Lin Li leave.

"Clang."

The big iron door opened and closed with a loud sound.

The sound of chirping birds could be heard in the distance. Qin Muqing turned around and found that several birds that had been missing before were back on the trees in the courtyard, looking at her curiously.

"When Lin Li finishes his work, I can follow him and leave Dongwu City. By then, Butler Qin and the others will not be able to find me again."

Qin Muqing looked at the birds making crisp calls on the branches and murmured to herself.

Then she walked forward, came to the big tree, looked up at a few birds on the tree, and whispered softly.

"In a while, I will leave Dongwu City, and I probably won't have the chance to come back in the future."

"Chirping..." The petite bird did not understand what Qin Muqing said, and just jumped back and forth on the branches, continuously making cheerful calls.

"Alas..." Qin Muqing sighed, "I've been here for so long, I can't bear to leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, her ordinary face changed instantly, and a beautiful and delicate face appeared in front of several birds.

"..." The changes that took place in Qin Muqing stunned several birds. They no longer made crisp calls and stared directly at the beautiful Qin Muqing.

"Why are you staring at me?" Qin Muqing said a little strangely, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the smile he showed was more beautiful than the blooming flowers.

Soon, Qin Muqing thought of something, and she quickly left the courtyard and returned to the villa.

"Yeah~"

"Why did you change back so quickly this time?"

An exclamation sounded in the villa, followed by rapid footsteps.

…………

I haven’t been back for a while and the surroundings have changed a lot.

Lin Li walked slowly on the street and found that many houses had been built at construction sites around his home.

People who had moved in before had planted many flowers in the courtyards of their homes, and some vines crossed the fence and stretched toward the street.

As more and more people move in here, there are more and more vendors on the streets.

Lin Li came out of his home and walked less than a hundred meters in a few minutes. He encountered at least seven vendors selling small items.

"Horn comb, polished by hand, one can be used for at least ten years."

"Citrus, come and buy citrus! I grow them all at home. They were just picked from the garden this morning. They are very fresh."

"My beef jerky is real. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If it's fake, you can knock down my stall."

His family used to live in this street, which was very deserted. Lin Li felt very good looking at the street in front of him that was filled with the sounds of hawkers.

The old man, whose face was full of grooves, looked at the young man who came to his stall. When he saw the young man's gentle manner, he knew that he was an educated person.

So, he asked with a smile, "Sir, do you want to buy beef jerky?"

Lin Li glanced at the beef jerky on the stall, and before he even asked the price, the old man handed over a small piece of beef jerky.

"This is beef jerky made by myself. It tastes very good. You can try it."

Lin Li smiled and nodded, then took the small piece of beef jerky handed over by the other party and stuffed it into his mouth.

“The beef is very flavorful, chewy, and quite delicious...”

"How is it? It's delicious, isn't it?" The old man saw the surprise in Lin Li's eyes and said with a proud smile.

"It's really delicious." Lin Li praised, and then placed an order, "Bring me fifteen pounds."

After saying that, he added, "Help me separate the bags and pack them into three portions."

"Okay." The old man's face lit up with joy when he heard that Lin Li said he wanted to buy fifteen kilograms of beef jerky.

After Lin Li paid the money, he left with three packages of beef jerky. After taking a few steps forward, the three packages of beef jerky in his hand suddenly disappeared.

"Get out of here."

A loud shout sounded after him, and Lin Li, who was about to leave, stopped and looked back.

I saw a motorcade approaching from a distance. The strong man leading the way was on horseback, shouting at the vendors hawking on the street.

The vendor who had just been standing in a row to buy beef jerky was the first to bear the brunt. After being scolded, his face was full of panic and he hurriedly cleaned up his stall.

Other vendors on the street also couldn't afford to offend this group of men who looked very fierce, so they also cleaned up their stalls.

A small and simple shopping street that was originally lively but orderly has now become very chaotic.

"These people are really arrogant." Lin Li looked at the arrogant motorcade and muttered to himself.

The road is very wide, so there is no need to drive away the vendors selling things on the street, and the motorcade can pass normally.

There is no need to do this, but it is really disgusting to do it because of selfishness.

"You can pass." The strong man on horseback smiled contentedly, then he turned back and shouted to his companions behind him.

"drive."

The driver shook the reins and started the stopped carriage again.

The strong man on the horse continued to clear the way and soon passed by Lin Li.

"Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling..."

A pale golden light flashed at Lin Li's fingertips, followed by a subtle electric sound.

A small, imperceptible thunderbolt shot out from Lin Li's fingertips and hit the horse's butt at the front of the convoy, underneath the strong man on horseback who was clearing the way.

“咴咴……”

The tall horse screamed and jumped up on the spot.

The strong man on horseback was unprepared and fell off the horse.

"oops."

Hearing the screams, you can tell that the fall was not light, and he will need to rest for a while.

"Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling..."

Lin Li had just seen that the other people in the convoy were also mad at the vendors, so he followed suit and continued to hit these people's mounts, one after another with subtle thunder and lightning.

“咴咴……”

"Ouch..."

For a moment, the convoy was in chaos. The vendors who had been bullied before saw this scene and all looked shocked.

Then, everyone subconsciously clapped their hands and applauded.
