Since Lou Wanxiang was busy refining magic weapons, the two of them could not be disturbed, so at Liu Xiaolu's suggestion, they went to Qushui Lane together.

Granny Qu's sweet shop had no customers as usual. Granny Qu, who was stooped and leaning on a cane, was busy going back and forth for the two tables of diners in the shop.

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Yizhi bowed to Granny Qu and said, "Thank you, senior, for rescuing my little girl. I have never visited the door in person to express my gratitude. I hope you can forgive me, senior."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qu just waved her hands slightly and didn't say much. However, the few diners in the store began to chatter when they saw the two enter the door.

A woman in blue whispered to another woman in yellow at the same table, "The gentleman in white looks so handsome."

In contrast, the beautiful woman in yellow was much more reserved. She secretly turned her head and glanced at the door, her cheeks were stained with a hint of red, and she nodded slightly.

A middle-aged woman at the other table glanced at the woman in blue with disgust when she heard this, and said to the woman in yellow next to her, "Xuemei, if you ask me, I'd better not have sex with you."

The sister on the table is coming and going, bringing shame to your city lord's mansion."

The woman in yellow clothes named Xuemei was startled when she heard this, and soon she lowered her head in embarrassment and pursed her lips in silence.

But the woman in blue beside her stood up and said furiously, "Mo Sanniang, what do you mean by this? Don't think that I won't dare to marry your daughter to the Pengzexu family.

Take action on you!

My Xuemei is now a member of the City Lord's Mansion. You said these words in front of her, but you don't take the City Lord's Mansion seriously?"

"Hey, what a great official authority." Mo Sanniang curled her lips and said, "How can our incompetent stinky girl be compared to your Xuemei? She can still serve as a servant of the city lord's palace with her children.

Concubine, I think this charming skill must be very good."

"Miss Mo, don't go too far!" As soon as these words came out, even the pitiful woman in yellow couldn't hold back anymore and shouted coldly.

"Why, you two still want to go to the city lord's mansion to call out the worshiper named Lu to deal with me?

Don't forget, my girl was married to the Xu family in a majestic manner, and you are just a concubine who can't stand up to the public." Mo Sanniang sneered, without any intention of giving in.

"You!" The woman in blue had blazing eyes, waving her hands and taking a few steps forward, as if she was going to fight with Mo Sanniang.

"That's enough, you guys have to go out and make a noise. Our store is closed today!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Granny Qu couldn't bear it, and she paused the crutch in her hand on the ground and issued an eviction order.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolu took a few steps forward and pulled the two tables of tense women away from each other. After trying to persuade them for a while, the women glanced at each other and walked out of the door with angry expressions on their faces.

Then he helped Granny Qu close the shop door, and then reached out to pull Hu Yizhi, who was looking embarrassed, and said helplessly, "Father, it seems that I can no longer drag you to Granny Qu's place. There are customers every time.

Fighting for you."

When Hu Yizhi heard this, his face became even more embarrassed, and he frowned and glared at Liu Xiaolu.

On the other hand, Granny Qu spoke up to help Hu Yizhi, "This matter has nothing to do with him. Yinggu and Meng Sanniang have been so noisy for many years.

But ever since Meng Sanniang’s daughter married into the Xu family, Yinggu has always been very tolerant towards her, and I don’t know why she dared to fight her today.”

Liu Xiaolu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Maybe her sister is here to support her today."

Hu Yizhi was obviously not interested in the competition and quarrels between these women, so they did not discuss the matter further.

Granny Qu invited the two of them to sit down at the table, and served them two bowls of sweet soup. Then she spoke to Hu Yizhi, "I heard before that you are from the Kongwu Sect of Muyue Mountain. Do you think you are like this?"

thing?"

Hearing this, Hu Yizhi put down the soup bowl in his hand, nodded and said, "Exactly, this junior was helped by the former head of the Kongwu Sect in his early years, and later became the peak leader in the Kongwu Sect. I wonder why the senior mentioned this?"

Granny Qu smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there was an old friend in the Kongwu Sect in the early years."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked again, "Is there a bloodline with the Wu surname in the Kongwu Sect? It should have a high status in the sect."

"Wu's bloodline?" Hu Yizhi was stunned, turned to look at Liu Xiaolu beside him, and then said hesitantly,

"There is indeed an elder named Wu Tiancheng, but he passed away not long ago, and I heard that he was never married and left no descendants."

Grandma Qu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

When Hu Yizhi saw this, he didn't feel like asking further questions, so he had to drink the sweet soup from the bowl in silence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Liu Xiaolu hurriedly said, "Grandma Qu, you have been in Zongyuan City, do you know the strength of the foundation-building monk in the Hundred Refining Sect?"

"The man from Bailian Sect has not been out much since he entered the city, but judging from the aura he exudes, he should be in the middle stage of foundation building." Granny Qu frowned.

"Has that foundation-building monk ever had contact with the City Lord's Mansion?" Liu Xiaolu asked hurriedly.

Granny Qu shook her head and said, "City Lord Jin has been staying at the City Lord's Mansion in recent years, so the two of them probably have no chance to meet, but I don't know if City Lord Jin has sent any of his casual cultivators to contact him.

."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yizhi hurriedly saluted and said, "The Bailian Sect may have a close relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. I hope that the seniors can help pay more attention to the movements of these two people. I would like to thank you."

"It's just a piece of cake, it doesn't have to be like this. Besides, this Bailian Sect's arrival is indeed strange. Even if you didn't mention it, I would have noticed it." Granny Qu waved her hand indifferently.

Liu Xiaolu stood up, hugged Granny Qu's arm, shook it, and said with a smile, "I knew Granny Qu was the best. With her here, she must not be able to make waves."

Granny Qu had a look of helplessness on her face, stretched out her finger and tapped Liu Xiaolu's forehead, saying, "You kid, your little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey."

"Hehe." Liu Xiaolu smiled slyly when he heard this and stuck out his tongue playfully.

…

Hujiadongyuan.

A young man in white stood guard in front of the Hu family leader's study for an hour or two before he was told by other disciples from the east courtyard who were passing by that the patriarch had gone to the Spirit Vein Cave for retreat.
