The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 166 - Brother Successfully Escaped

"What about the thieves?"

"We found the corpses of the thieves in the mountains, five in total, with cultivation levels ranging from Qi Refining perfection to mid-Foundation Building. Usually, they gather in gangs for this kind of crime. Based on the traces at the scene, we deduced that it must be an internal struggle caused by the uneven distribution of the stolen goods. A small portion of the stolen money was recovered, but most of it was taken by the person who ultimately survived."

"Do we know this person's name?"

"He should be the one called 'Wang Hushan'. He belonged to a group of five bandits who used to raid the Jade Pot Mountain in the West Island. They engaged in robberies, and many rogue cultivators and disciples from various sects fell victim to them. They must have heard about the demonic cultivation incident in the Dragon House and specifically came from the neighboring West Island to find work."

Hearing this, Li Longling felt like laughing.

Young Master Ye's way of doing things was just like those street-smart guys who have been in the black market for years.

She couldn't imagine that Master Ye, who looked refined and upright, could actually think of such a "dirty" method.

But then again.

Not only did Master Ye use this trick to make his exit, but he also left her one last gift.

---The West Island.

West Island was right next to the Dragon House, and they were actually in a competitive relationship where neither would yield to the other.

But after this incident, she could take advantage of the West Island without mercy. freeweɓnovel.cøm

It just so happened that West Island sent a letter a few days ago congratulating her as the new leader in a weird way. Although the letter ostensibly expressed regret and sympathy for the invasion of demonic cultivators, blindness was alluded to at least thirty times, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Hmph...

After thinking for a while, Li Longling said, "Send Chief Zhou Wei with the guards to the West Island to demand an explanation. The bandits in the Jade Pot Mountain are entangled with the West Island inner circle. Young Master Jiang and his Dragon Slayers Society were the heroes who resolved this chaos caused by demonic cultivators. This matter cannot be left like this!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The guard saluted and left.

After she left, Xiao Yunluo frowned, still looking worried.

"Sister Li, it can't be Ye Anping, right? How could that be..."

Li Longling hid a smile and asked in return, "Sister Xiao, don't you have confidence in Master Ye?"

"It's not that I lack confidence, but..." Xiao Yunluo pouted, complaining, "He could have come and told us first! How could people who care about him not worry when they suddenly hear such news? Believe it or not, I wanted to tell Sister Feng to rush directly to the coroner... They always go on their own and don't tell anyone anything."

"Huh--"

Li Longling shrugged. Seeing Sister Xiao's tantrum, she felt that she was quite childish. In the past, just by listening to her voice, she thought Sister Xiao was like a reliable big sister. But now, seeing how she was half a head shorter than her, she felt that the reliable sister was actually her.

At this time, a maid walked in. "Miss, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect's Young Lady and her companion are requesting an audience."

"Eh?" Li Longling paused, then simply got up from her seat and walked out carrying her pet baby phoenix, saying, "I'll go out to meet them."

"Yes, Miss..."

Li Longling was no longer as timid as the last time and didn't need Xiao Yunluo's support anymore. She raised her head and strode out of the main hall, but deliberately closed her eyes as if she couldn't see.

When Yun Xi, who was waiting outside, saw her coming out, she cupped her hands according to the etiquette, then greeted her with a smile. "Miss Li, it's inconvenient with your eyes. Why did you come out? Wouldn't it be better for us to come inside?"

Li Longling was quite surprised when she saw Yun Xi's salute. She didn't seem to treat her as a blind person and didn't do it perfunctorily. Her manners were strictly by the book.

The same thing could not be said about her companion. Although he bowed, it was a bit perfunctory.

Li Longling hesitated before asking, "Miss Yun, what kind of accent is this..."

"Mandarin... I use it on formal occasions... What's wrong? Don't you understand?"

"I do, but it feels strange."

"In that case, I'll switch back." Yun Xi smiled and said, "This time, we came to ask if you've considered our proposal. Also, about my younger brother and sister, have you found out anything?"

Li Longling smiled and shook her head. "I appreciate Miss Yun's kindness, but forgive me for not being able to agree to your request. After all, Dragon House is the only thing my father left to me."

"I see." Yun Xi shrugged without surprise and took out a jewelry box from her storage bag. She said, "It seems that you already have a solution in mind. Maybe it's redundant, but if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to send me a letter anytime. This pair of jade bracelets from the Empty Mountain can be considered a token of friendship."

Li Longling hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.

Then, Yun Xi asked again, "What about my younger brother and sister? Have they been found?"

Li Longling paused before replying, "I found the two people you mentioned, but they have already left the Dragon House, and I don't know where they went."
