Chapter 1443 The Old Man Died
Xiao Liuzi looked at Shuanzi resentfully. If he hadn't waited there for so long, how could he not have gotten a seat at Liuxiangju? He suspected that Shuanzi had done it on purpose.
"If you want to know whether the food in Liuxiangju is delicious, why don't you go in and have a meal now and you will know." Xiao Liuzi said and left without giving Shuanzi a chance to speak.
Shuanzi stood there in a daze for a long time. How could he become so arrogant after eating a meal at Liuxiangju? What was his attitude?
If he had the money to eat at Liuxiangju, would he still need to ask?
Xiao Yanbao heard the conversation between Shuanzi and Xiao Liuzi. Of course, she didn't listen on purpose, it was just that her hearing was really good.
It turns out that it is just as Tan Tai Xiao said.
Is the food at Liuxiangju really that delicious?
Should she take the two little ones to Liuxiangju for a meal?
Xiao Yanbao thought to himself, stopped moving, and looked towards Liuxiangju.
Tan Tai Xiao immediately understood and said, "Little Princess, are you hungry? Why don't you go to Liuxiangju and have dinner before returning?"
Just as Xiao Yanbao was about to agree, two Chixiao Guards came running over and said, "City Lord, we have discovered the whereabouts of Cao's mother and son."
When little Yan Bao heard the whereabouts of Cao's mother and son, he didn't even bother to eat.
You can eat at any time, but catching Cao's mother and son is more important.
"Little Princess, why don't you go to Liuxiangju for dinner first, and I'll take someone to take a look."
"I'd better go with you. We can eat anytime."
"That's fine. I'll have them deliver the food to the City Lord's Mansion later."
Tan Tai Xiao was also afraid that he would encounter people from the demon world that he would not be able to deal with, so it would be best if the little princess could go with him.
Xiao Yanbao brought the two people who came to report the news with him using the teleportation talisman.
But when he arrived there, he did not see Cao's mother and son.
"Why is there no one here? Is the information you received accurate? Why didn't you arrange for anyone to guard here?" Tan Tai Xiao said in a bad tone.
"City Lord, the brother who reported the incident said the person is here. They saw the person and left two brothers here."
"What about those two people?"
The people brought by Tan Tai Xiao searched the surrounding area thoroughly but found no one.
No marks were left.
Xiao Yanbao took out a tracking talisman from his Ruyi bag and tried to pinch a wisp of life energy in the air, but he didn't know whose life energy it belonged to.
Following the tracking talisman, I actually found myself in Qiguai Lane.
Although the tracking talisman didn't require many twists and turns, Xiao Yanbao recognized it as Qiguai Lane as soon as he arrived there.
Little Yanbao frowned, "Why did you follow me here?"
Tan Tai Xiao also said, "Little Princess, who are we chasing?"
"I don't know either. This is the only life force I can grasp."
What was even more unexpected was that the tracking symbol stopped in front of the door of the small papermaking workshop.
Xiao Yanbao stood at the door and did not go in, but let Chi Xiaowei go in and take a look first.
The Chi Xiao Guard came out quickly and said, "My Lord, little princess, four bodies were found inside. Two of them were the brothers that the Chi Xiao Guard left there to guard. The other two should be people from the workshop. The mother and son of the Cao family were not found."
As soon as Chi Xiaowei finished speaking, Xiao Yanbao rushed in.
There were two bodies lying in the yard. They were from the Chixiao Guard. Walking further in, he saw the guy lying at the threshold. Xiao Yanbao then ran further in and found an old man lying on the ground in the bakery, covered in blood.
Although Xiao Yanbao did not agree to be the old man's apprentice, the old man was the one who taught him how to make paper and had the merit of passing on the skills.
If she could save the old man, she would do so.
But after taking the old man's pulse, he was already dead and could not be saved.
Unless you go to the King of Hell and ask for the old man's soul back.
Soul...
Little Yan Bao immediately opened his Yin-Yang eyes and saw three souls floating in the yard, but he did not see the old man's soul.
If a ghost came to take the souls away, he shouldn't have only taken the old man's soul away, leaving the other three souls here.
Xiao Yanbao pulled down the soul of the man floating in the air and asked, "Who killed you? Where is your boss's soul?"
Since Xiao Yanbao only opened the Yin-Yang Eyes for himself, Dan Tai Xiao and the other Chi Xiao Guards could not see ghosts. All they could see was Xiao Yanbao talking to the air.
But Tan Tai Xiao knew that Xiao Yan Bao was definitely not talking to the air.
"It was a woman and her son who killed us," said the ghost of the man.
"Why did they kill you? Did they have a grudge against you?"
"They found out that it was the owner who made the paper for you, so they killed him to stop him from making paper for you."
"Then why isn't your boss's soul here?"
"After our boss was killed, the woman poured some kind of water on his soul, and it dispersed."
Little Yanbao never imagined that the old man died because he learned papermaking from him.
If he had known that Cao's mother and son would come to kill them, he would have put the old man and the workshop into the Ruyi Bag.
"Then how were you two killed?"
The ghosts of the two Chixiao Guards saw Xiao Yanbao talking to the ghost of his servant and floated over.
"We two came here with Cao's mother and son. We didn't expect that Cao has become so powerful now. The two of us can't even beat Cao with our hands." said the ghost of Chixiaowei.
"Cao? Are you sure it's Cao you're following? Aren't Cao's hands and feet chopped off? Besides, isn't she blind?"
"We are certain that we are tracking the Cao family and their son. We don't know what method Cao used, but her hands, feet, and eyes have all grown back. Moreover, Cao's martial arts skills are now extremely powerful."
Xiao Yanbao always felt that it was not Cao who did it.
It doesn't make sense.
"Then do you know where the Cao mother and son ran off to?"
The ghosts of the two Chixiao Guards shook their heads.
"We two wanted to follow, but we are new ghosts, and ghosts cannot move freely in the world of the living."
Xiao Yanbao: If you ghosts are allowed to move freely in the world of the living, then the world of the living will become the underworld. Each world has its own rules. If it gets into chaos, it will be disastrous.
"The woman's son has taken the gold ingot you left for your employer," said the clerk's ghost.
Xiao Yanbao: You dare to take away the things I gave away.
Then you can't run away.
I was just wondering how to find Cao and her son.
Xiao Yanbao threw out a ghost-binding talisman, and the Black and White Impermanence came up in a flash.
"Old Black, Old White, how did you get up here so quickly?"
Black and White Impermanence: I told you, why are you in a hurry and suddenly speed up? It turns out that it was Yan Bao calling them.
