Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

Chapter 987: Monster Hunt (25)

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Although Gu Jin couldn't move his legs, he could still move his hands. He held the fan with both hands and bowed to Xuan Yi. "I'm Gu Jin. I heard that Master Xuan Yi is here, so I came to pay him a visit."

Xuan Yi returned the greeting, "Why do you want to see me?"

Gu Jin said respectfully, "I have a good friend who was fortunate enough to hear Master Xuan Yi preach and benefited a lot from it. I have been fascinated by him for a long time. I just happened to meet Magistrate Li. Magistrate Li told me that Master Xuan Yi was investigating a case here, so I couldn't help but come to see him."

Xuan Yi turned the Bodhi Buddha beads in his hand and said, "Mr. Gu is sincere in his pursuit of the Way. When I finish what I am doing, I will definitely preach the Way and answer your questions."

Gu Jin said gratefully: "Thank you Master Xuanyi, it's been a great service to you Master Xuanyi."

Just as Xuan Yi was about to reply, Yun Shen interrupted Xuan Yi's polite words and said, "Master Gu is from Ningyuan County?"

Gu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, my ancestors for eighteen generations have all been from Ningyuan County."

Yun Shen raised his lips slightly and asked, "Then Mr. Gu must know that there have been many missing persons cases in Ningyuan County recently, right?"

Gu Jin looked a little worried when he heard this. "I heard that a fox demon was causing trouble. I wonder what happened to those who were captured?"

"Mr. Gu, since you have a compassionate heart, why don't you join us in investigating these missing cases?"

Gu Jin hesitated, "This..."

"Master Xuanyi and I are new here and know very little about Ningyuan County. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate. It would be great if Master Gu, a local, could help us."

Gu Jin no longer refused, "In this case, I will definitely do my best. If I can help Master Xuan Yi, it will be a merit for me."

Yun Shen said perfunctorily: "Mr. Gu is kind and righteous."

Gu Jin bowed and said, "Sir, we hit it off right away. May I know your name?"

Yun Shen said succinctly: "Yun Shen."

Gu Jin waved his folding fan. "Is Master Yun also a demon catcher? I heard that Master Xuan Yi always keeps to himself. Why did he come with Master Yun this time?"

Yun Shen lied without hesitation, "We weren't traveling together, we just happened to meet."

"This fox demon has profound Taoism skills. Many demon hunters have failed here. I came here after hearing the news and happened to meet Master Xuan Yi here."

Gu Jin nodded and said, "I see."

Every word Yun Shen and Gu Jin spoke was full of wisdom and wit, but in Xuan Yi's eyes, the scene just turned into Yun Shen and Gu Jin having a pleasant conversation.

Looking at Yun Shen and Gu Jin "having a great conversation", Xuan Yi felt inexplicably sour in his heart, but he didn't know where this sour feeling came from.

Yun Shen looked at Xuan Yi's slightly ugly expression and raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that his little wolf cub would be jealous of even this?

He just felt that Gu Jin was related to the missing case and spoke out to test him.

Gu Jin's appearance here at this time must have other purposes. Only by keeping Gu Jin by his side can Gu Jin's true colors be exposed sooner.

Due to Gu Jin's presence, Yun Shen was not in a position to explain these words on the spot, and could only let Xuan Yi be jealous for a while.

In order to expose Gu Jin's true colors as soon as possible, Yun Shen deliberately walked back to the white porcelain vase and pretended to pick up the vase to check.

Just as Yun Shen's hand was about to touch the vase, Gu Jin casually mentioned, "Mr. Yun, I suddenly remembered something that may help solve the case."

Yun Shen cooperated and took his hand back, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Gu Jin replied: "Before the first missing case occurred, a strange incident occurred in Wanhua Tower. This incident was related to Master Zhang who disappeared in Wanhua Tower."

Without waiting for Yun Shen to ask, Xuan Yi took the lead and said, "Mr. Gu, please speak."

Xuan Yi said this as he unnoticeably moved Yun Shen behind him.

Yun Shen just felt helpless and amused. His little wolf cub's possessiveness was really everywhere.

When Gu Jin saw Xuan Yi's actions, he was slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.

"A month ago, Master Zhang spent a fortune to hire Rongyue, a prostitute from Wanhua Tower. However, not long after Master Zhang left Wanhua Tower, Rongyue was found hanging in her room in a red dress."

"After the madam of Wanhua Tower reported the case, Magistrate Li asked the government to investigate, but there was no evidence to prove that Master Zhang killed Rongyue. In the end, the case could only be closed as Rongyue committed suicide."

"Not long after that, disappearances started happening more and more frequently."

"There are rumors that Rongyue's ghost possessed the fox demon and specifically seeks revenge on unfaithful men."

Yun Shen smiled and said, "Master Gu, what you mean is that the fox demon is innocent, and the disappearance case was caused by Rong Yue's ghost?"

Gu Jin was very careful and said, "I just heard about it. It is not for me to judge whether it is true or not."

Xuan Yi nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Master Gu, for the clues."

Gu Jin clapped his hands and closed his fan: "Master, you are too kind. I just said what I know. It is really not worth mentioning."

Xuan Yi began to drive people away in a serious tone, "It's getting late, and the road is hard to travel at night. Mr. Gu, please go back home early."

Gu Jin invited, "Master Yun and Master Xuan Yi have come from afar, and I guess they haven't found a place to stay yet. How about staying at my house?"

Xuan Yi was about to refuse, but Yun Shen accepted it directly, "Thank you, Master Gu. I'm worried about where to live."

Xuan Yi's expression changed slightly, and a crack appeared on his usually calm and composed face.

Gu Jin looked at Xuan Yi, "Where is Master Xuan Yi?"

Xuan Yi took a long while to reply, "Thank you, benefactor."

Gu Jin's peach blossom eyes smiled slightly, "It is my honor that Master Yun and Master Xuan Yi are willing to stay at my humble residence."

Yun Shen said bluntly: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Gu to lead the way."

Gu Jin turned around and walked down the stairs.

After Gu Jin turned around, Yun Shen deliberately fell behind by a few steps, quietly pulled Xuan Yi's hand, and whispered softly: "There is something wrong with Gu Jin, let's go to his house to check."

Xuan Yi's bad mood disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "You just said so much to him, were you trying to trick him?"

Yun Shen said as a matter of course: "Of course it's to trick people. Does A Yi think I'm a talkative person?"

Without waiting for Xuan Yi to answer, Yun Shen added: "I only talk a lot to A Yi."

Xuan Yi still felt a little jealous, and said unknowingly in a sarcastic tone, "You looked exactly the same as when you first met me."

Yun Shen deliberately prolonged his tone, "It turns out that A Yi still remembers the scene of our first meeting, and he still cares about me?"

Xuan Yi said stubbornly: "I just have never seen someone who is so self-centered and familiar with others."

Yun Shen joked to himself: "Maybe it's because I'm not a human."

Xuan Yi said helplessly: "Even among the monsters, there are few who are as bold as you."

Yun Shen stretched out a finger, hooked Xuan Yi's finger, exhaled a breath of hot air in Xuan Yi's ear, and whispered softly: "I have something even more daring, do you want to know, A Yi?"

Xuan Yi's ears blushed with embarrassment.
