Chapter 211: Chapter 210: To Tell the Truth, No One Loves to Listen Anymore

Xie Si Niang’s disappearance was no small matter.

All the disciples of the Xie Family in the Sect received the message; Xie Xu had not yet returned to the Sect, hence his absence.

Everyone had already gone out to search once and, having failed to find her, gathered to discuss the matter. Xie Jiu Niang was cultivating at the time and did not see the Sound Transmission Talisman immediately.

Xie Jiu Niang asked, "Who discovered that Fourth Sister was missing?"

"It was two female cultivators from Fu Feng."

Xie Haoran said it was people from Fu Feng who came looking for him.

As for why they did not approach Xie Jiu Niang but instead went to Xie Haoran, it couldn’t be blamed on the female cultivators from Fu Feng. The sisters were close, but she visited Fu Feng far less often than Xie Haoran did.

Having searched the Fangshi and found no one, and having not visited the shops,

they were unable to send out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Xie Haoran had gone to the Sect Affairs Hall to check the Soul Lamps.

The Soul Lamp was intact, which meant the person was still alive.

Someone asked, "Should we ask the Law Enforcement team to investigate?"

Xie Haoran helplessly said, "I’ve already asked. The Sect had a record of Xiaosi leaving yesterday; it was a normal procedure for leaving the Sect. The Soul Lamp showed no anomalies. Under these circumstances, without concrete evidence of Xiaosi’s disappearance, with only one-sided claims, the Law Enforcement Hall won’t get involved."

The Law Enforcement Hall had many matters to deal with, and if everyone started bringing up cases based on speculations, wouldn’t they be overwhelmed?

Xie Jiu Niang suddenly asked, "Does Second Uncle know?"

"Second Uncle is aware," Xie Haoran replied.

Xie Haoran said he intended to leave the Sect to search for clues and asked who else wanted to go.

All agreed, all except for Xie Jiu Niang, who remained silent.

Therefore, everyone turned their gaze towards her.

"You go ahead; I won’t be joining," Xie Jiu Niang said as she stood up and left.

Xie Haoran and the others were stunned.

Apparently, none had expected Xie Jiu Niang to be so indifferent.

Xie Ying said scornfully, "After all the kindness Fourth Sister showed her in the past, now that Fourth Sister is in trouble, she shows this attitude?"

"Sister, Xiaojiu is not that kind of person." Xie Haoran felt there might be something they didn’t know.

The other disciples of the Xie Family were silent.

With their understanding of Xie Jiu Niang, she was not an indifferent person.

Xie Ying said angrily, "She’s not this kind of person? Look at what she has done! Everyone is making an effort, and she’s doing nothing. We notified her a while ago, yet look at her."

"We’ve been searching for so long, and she has just now finally arrived."

"And what has she done after arriving?"

Xie Ying was filled with dissatisfaction towards Xie Jiu Niang.

The Water Kirin, which had been lying beside Xie Ying’s feet, heard her berating its master and silently increased the distance between them.

No wonder the master was planning to pit this woman; it was indeed deserved.

Finding an opportunity to smear the master—wasn’t that courting death?

Xie Jiu Niang had not gone far when she received the Water Kirin’s contract-bound transmission, which sold Xie Ying out thoroughly.

Upon learning that Xie Ying was smearing her reputation, Xie Jiu Niang offered no explanation.

Xie Jiu Niang had a vague feeling that the person behind this may well have been targeting her, and fundamentally, it was this time that Xie Si Niang got dragged into the mess because of her.

This over and over again was truly endless.

Xie Jiu Niang hopped onto the Little Immortal Crane, "Little Crane, to Fu Feng."

"Li!"

The Little Immortal Crane responded with a clear cry and then flew towards Fu Feng.

On the way there,

"Little Profiteer!"

A person flying on a sword nearly collided with Xie Jiu Niang.

The Little Immortal Crane was so frightened it cried out, flying up to dodge.

Xie Jiu Niang looked closely and saw it was Xuanyuan You, that pitfall, she transmitted angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Got too excited seeing you,"

Xuanyuan You shouted out like a fool.

Now, Xie Jiuniang was in no mood to dally with him, she comforted the Little Immortal Crane with a pat and let it continue flying towards Fu Feng.

The two of them descended onto Fu Feng, one after the other.

Thanks to Chaoyan’s arrangement before leaving the Sect, Xie Jiuniang now had the freedom to come and go between the three peaks.

The disciples guarding Fu Feng allowed both of them to pass after seeing them.

Xuanyuan You followed her closely like a little tail, "Little Profiteer, I heard your eldest sister has gone missing, is that true?"

"Where did you hear that from?" Xie Jiuniang asked with surprising calmness.

Xuanyuan You boasted, "What’s so strange about that? There’s not much that can be hidden from me when it comes to matters of the Sect."

"Is that so? Then tell me, who captured my eldest sister?"

At the blunt question from Xie Jiuniang, Xuanyuan You was immediately embarrassed.

What did it feel like to have one’s bluffs called out on the spot?

Xuanyuan You confessed truthfully, "Some disciples ran into Xie Haoran and others searching for someone; I just happened to pass by and overheard."

"Why can’t you just be honest? You always have to blow your own trumpet."

"Can’t you let it go without stepping on me? Keep this up and I won’t consider you a friend anymore."

"The world’s not so kind."

With one cryptic statement from Xie Jiuniang, Xuanyuan You was left frozen.

Then, with an indifferent expression, she added, "The truth is, nobody likes to hear the truth."

Xuanyuan You, "..."

Why do perfectly fine people have to have such a mouth?

Without any hindrance, the two made their way to Xie Siniang’s residence.

Xie Siniang’s abode was a quiet and elegant courtyard.

There was only a simple Formation set up for protection in the yard.

Xie Jiuniang asked Xuanyuan You to keep watch outside the courtyard, barring anyone from approaching, then she forcefully broke through the Formation and entered the yard.

With her Golden Core Divine Sense, she quickly detected someone with Foundation Establishment Divine Sense approaching; first, she blocked it as a warning with her Divine Sense.

One person immediately backed off.

Another retreated at first but then continued to approach afterward.

Xie Jiuniang unceremoniously gave that one a lesson.

"Ah—"

In a courtyard not far away, a female cultivator clutched her head and screamed in pain, then fainted.

Xie Jiuniang looked in that direction.

Even though that person was inside a building, separated by several walls, it seemed as though she could see the trespassing individual with a single glance.

Jian Lingyan clicked its tongue, "Dog owner, you’ve grown soft-hearted."

"Before Master left the Sect, he told me not to cause trouble," Xie Jiuniang replied, doing her best impression of an obedient and sensible disciple.

Jian Lingyan did not believe her one bit.

Whoever believed that was a fool!

Xie Jiuniang indeed had not gone all out.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have settled for a mere punishment; she would have directly sent the other party a Soul Needle.

The minor punishment was just to cause the intruder’s Divine Sense to hurt for a while; with ten days to half a month of rest, it would recover. Jian Lingyan calling her soft-hearted was far from the truth.

Indiscriminately harming another person’s Spiritual Soul could lead to troublesome aftermath.

It was better to be sly when dealing with someone; even if the other party knew she was responsible, they should find no evidence to prove it.

Just like the case with Wu Shuangshuang and Wu Tong.

Their deaths were by her hand, yet no one could do anything to her about it.

Xie Jiuniang then thought of Mo Chuan’s Face-changing Technique.

The advantages of learning his technique were genuinely plentiful, yet despite her repeated attempts, she had not found the secret to it.

She couldn’t just give up. Should she ask her master for advice next time?

Xie Jiuniang waited a while longer but did not detect any more Divine Sense surveillance. Even so, she remained cautious and had Jian Lingyan check again thoroughly.

After receiving confirmation from Jian Lingyan that no one was observing them.

Only then did Xie Jiuniang take out the Array Plate that Lord Guangcheng had given her and inserted a Spirit Stone to activate it.
