Chapter 3015
3015 Heinous Place
When she saw the child looking at the two of them curiously, Feng Jiu smiled, with a turn of her palm, a red fruit appeared in her palm. She stepped forward and handed him the fruit in her palm: “For you to eat!”
As she looked at the child, she couldn’t help but think of her Hao’er back at home. In a few more years, Hao’er would be the same age as this child. When he was a little more sensible, she would teach him how to practise.
When the child saw the red fruit, he couldn’t help but bit his lips. He looked at his mother, then at Feng Jiu, and finally, he reached out and took the fruit and held it tightly in his hand.
“Thank you, Big Brother.” The child thanked her with a joyous tone in his voice.
!!“Thank you, thank you, both of you.” The couple came out of their daze at that moment and thanked them quickly.
The Mayor looked at Feng Jiu and Wanyan Shisan, then after he hesitated for a while, he said: “Please come outside, I would like to speak to both of you.”
Upon seeing this, the two of them followed him outside. Once they were outside, the Mayor asked them: “May I ask who the two of you are?” He had initially thought that they were members of an evil sect, but now it seemed that they weren’t the same as them.
Wanyan Shisan was about to speak when Feng Jiu’s voice drifted out.
“We are members of the Immortal Sect. We have been ordered to carry out a mission this time, but we didn’t expect to be ambushed in a small town, let alone cause misunderstandings.” As she spoke, Feng Jiu took out a token from her waist and handed it over.
The Mayor was relieved when he saw this: “So you are from the Immortal Sect, then we have misunderstood you.” He breathed a sigh of relief and the weight in his heart was finally released.
He handed the token back and said: “The people in the town saw you killing people in the restaurant, and they also saw ghosts and spirits floating around, that’s why they thought you were from an evil sect. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Chen here will apologise to both Immortals.”
As he spoke, he bowed and clasped his hands together in front of him as a sign of apology. After all, they had misunderstood them earlier and tried to drive them away. When he thought about it now, he realised that it was really rude.
Feng Jiu smiled and said: “Mayor, we are here on a mission. It is said that there is a small village nearby that often encounters problems?”
The Mayor was taken aback upon hearing this: “Are you talking about the little village near Shadow Mountain? That place is prohibited, there are prohibitions in place in town, we are not allowed to talk about that place or discuss it.”
“Our Senior Sister had been ordered to clean up the dirty things there, but she disappeared, that’s why the Immortal Sect has ordered us to find her. If the Mayor knows something, please tell us.” Feng Jiu said slowly.
The Mayor hesitated for a moment, then he said: “Tell you what! Come back with me to my manor! Have a rest at my manor tonight, and I will find an appropriate time to talk to the both of you.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.” Feng Jiu said with a smile, then glanced at Wanyan Shisan who was beside her.
Wanyan Shisan glanced at her, but didn’t say anything, he just followed the Mayor to his manor to stay the night.
Because of the Mayor’s reassurance, and the recovery of the child from that family, the people in the town gradually realised that the two of them weren’t evil people, so they relaxed and dispersed.
That night, in the Mayor’s manor, under the pavilion, a few small dishes of food and a jug of wine were placed on the table. The Mayor looked at the two people in front of him, then said: “Shadow Mountain is a very dangerous place.”
