Chapter 269: Stranger
Wang Qinglai is essentially an ordinary scholar and has no bad character. On weekdays, he is not only with his wife at home, but also goes out to drink and talk about poetry with his friends, and his life is enviable.
Life would have been so dull, but on the way home from drinking, Wang Qing met a lost woman. Finally, he saw that the woman was pitiful, so he took her home directly.
Of course, the reason why Wang Qinglai brought back the woman was his beautiful appearance was not uncommon.
This is actually nothing. In this era, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. It is extremely rare for Wang Qing to come to his family to be so rich but only one wife.
Even after Wang Qinglai's wife learned about it, she didn't say anything. She had a secret herself. She had never been pregnant for many years after marrying Wang Qinglai, and she had already made this preparation in her heart.
"Girl, do you still remember where your family is? I can send someone to convey your message."
Wang Qinglai said softly, naturally he did not doubt the woman's identity, but just subconsciously wanted to learn more about the woman's situation.
"Young Master, I..."
While the woman was telling the situation at home, the housekeeper came not far away, stood quietly on one side, and looked at the woman calmly.
Wang Qinglai frowned slightly, but did not blame him. The butler was an old man in the family. It was obvious that something was wrong when he could come here at this time. Then he gestured to the butler to speak with his eyes.
"Master, someone is visiting outside the courtyard, so they live in the courtyard next to us. They say that there is something urgent to do and I want to see you, Master."
After the butler finished speaking, he quietly waited for Wang Qing's orders. Although he had some suggestions, he also understood that the master did not need him to speak.
Wang Qinglai frowned slightly. Since the butler had never said the name of the visitor, he obviously had not paid the money or had no fame, so he wanted to say no to refuse immediately.
But when he saw the butler beside him, for some reason, Wang Qinglai took back his words, apologized slightly to the woman, and then followed the butler to the outside of the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Su Cheng and others were waiting quietly. Taoist Tian looked at the guard in front of the courtyard and said:
"If this person doesn't want to see us, what should we do?"
Su Cheng looked into the courtyard, shook his head and said:
"He has come out... In addition, if this person really doesn't want to see us, we will wait until the monster takes action. Judging from the monster's methods, we will never stop there."
In fact, although Su Cheng was sure that women were monsters, he was an ordinary woman in the sense of ordinary people. Even if he was a cultivator, few people could see the problem.
If Su Cheng and his group did their own thing and forced themselves to kill this woman, but could not provide evidence, they would inevitably be called evil people afterwards. This is the kind of situation where they were scolded after doing good deeds.
It may even happen that things here spread to other places, and may even cause others to misunderstand the character of Su Cheng and others.
Step on!
At this time, under the leadership of the butler, Wang Qinglai met Su Cheng and others and let go of the doubts in his heart.
Wang Qinglai also understood why the butler asked him to come out to meet Su Cheng and others.
At first glance, Su Cheng and others were all very dignified. Judging from Wang Qinglai's perspective, these people were absolutely extraordinary. They bowed their hands and said:
"When Wang Qing comes, I wonder why you are here to see me?"
Su Cheng stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"In Xiasu City, these people around me are my friends. This is Taoist Tian... a master of Taoism. When I passed by here, after knowing the chaos of the monster, I searched the whereabouts of the monster everywhere, but finally found that
The aura of the monster appeared in your courtyard and came here to visit."
Su Cheng was not worried that Wang Qinglai would be angry or furious. Whether the other party believed it or not, the matter was all here. Even if Wang Qinglai drove them away, it would be no big deal.
At most, wait for two more days, and when the monster takes action, it will not be too late for them to appear again.
Wang Qinglai's expression changed. If Su Cheng and others had not had a very outstanding attitude and Su Cheng was saying it was quite convincingly, he would have asked the guard to drive the people away immediately.
In addition, there is another point that there are really monsters in this world, especially the things that happened in the city these days. Wang Qinglai was also aware of it. Therefore, although he was angry, he did not lose his mind. He looked at Su Cheng and others deeply.
, Su Cheng and others were invited in.
When facing monsters, Wang Qinglai would rather believe that they are, otherwise relying solely on the guards in his family would not be enough to deal with monsters.
When he arrived in the lobby of the front yard, Wang Qing came to greet Su Cheng and others to sit down, served tea and asked about the situation.
"According to my previous investigation, this monster is extremely good at disguising and can even hide from the cultivators invited by the government. It is definitely not to be underestimated."
Taoist Tian said solemnly that such monsters would not talk about their strength, but just relying on their ability to hide their movements, it would be too great a threat.
"You mean?"
Wang Qinglai was also a smart person. He just brought back a strange woman, and Su Cheng and others came up.
If you can't think of the connection, that's abnormal.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. She is clearly an ordinary poor woman, how could it be..."
Wang Qinglai murmured, in fact, his heart was already shaken at this time, but he was just unwilling to admit it.
"Yes or no, the young master should understand... But we won't do it now. You can think about it for a while and tell us your plans after you think it through."
Taoist Tian didn't say much. They had no plans to take action today, just to remind Wang Qing.
Afterwards, Su Cheng and others ignored the lost Wang Qinglai, left the courtyard and returned to the courtyard beside them.
"Will our movement arouse the vigilance of the monster? If it escapes again, it will be troublesome to catch up with it."
Zhao Min said, "It is necessary that the monster can hide for so long that it must be very cautious. After realizing the danger, it will even escape from here."
At that time, even if Su Cheng had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul, it would be very difficult to calculate his whereabouts.
"No... it will not leave easily. It should understand that if Wang Qing comes to the mansion, we will not take action easily. Once we leave this mansion, it is inevitable to take action."
Su Cheng shook his head and said, In addition, since the traces of the monster have been found, he will naturally lock the other party at all times. Once the other party has any abnormal movement, he will learn about it immediately.
Just as Su Cheng stepped into the courtyard, his heart moved slightly, and then his figure flashed and he led Tian Daoren and others to the main hall.
But in the hall, an old beggar was eating delicious food on the round table. The surroundings were as if he had been robbed.
Su Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Judging from his current cultivation level, this old beggar is an ordinary person. His qi and blood are declining, he has rotten sores, and emits a foul smell. He seems to die soon, but how is this possible?
"I've met senior, I don't know you..."
