Chapter 2057 There is a Girl in the Jianghu
Although Xuanjing Island is not as famous as Canglan Sect in the martial arts world, because there are many precious and rare herbs planted on the island, the disciples on the island have always been very proud.
Even when they were facing Xie Huanyan, they were always neither humble nor arrogant. They had never seen anyone being treated so humbly and courteously.
Xie Huanyan looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little dazed, thinking that he had really recognized the wrong person.
In his mind, Shi Li must have been living a life of hardship and hiding everywhere over the years, and it was absolutely impossible for him to obtain such a high status.
No one paid attention to his thoughts. The disciples of Xuanjing Island led the way respectfully in front and said to Shi Li and the others with a smile on their faces: "The island master received a letter from a carrier pigeon half an hour ago and immediately asked us to come over. In the end, we are still late. Please forgive us, two heroes."
"It's okay." Shi Li shook his head and signaled the disciples of Xuanjing Island to lead the way.
When the group walked past Xie Huanyan, one of the disciples from Xuanjing Island seemed to recognize him and said, "Senior Brother Xie is here too, please come in."
As if he was just incidental.
Xie Huanyan suppressed his discomfort and claimed that as a gentleman, he should not dwell on such trivial matters.
Shi Li was walking in front and could feel Xie Huanyan's gaze vaguely on her, but she ignored him.
The reason why she and Mo Yi received such courtesy from Xuanjing Island today was due to a coincidence a year ago.
The owner of Xuanjing Island has a younger sister who is much younger than him. She married the leader of Songheng Sect a few years ago. The couple is deeply in love, but they have no children for many years.
A year ago, she finally got pregnant, but the doctor told her that her body was too weak to keep the baby.
Naturally, the head couple was unwilling to give up, and they looked for famous doctors everywhere. In the end, they learned that it was not that the child could not be kept, but that a rare medicinal herb in the world was missing - Suxinghua.
Legend has it that this flower only blooms on dangerous peaks and ridges, and its blooming and withering only lasts for one hour, after which it loses all its medicinal effects.
For the sake of his wife and children, the leader of Songheng Sect issued an order to find Su Xinghua.
It happened that Shi Li and Mo Yi came out of Lan Valley at that time, bringing some medicinal herbs with them to sell for money to buy other things. Among the medicinal herbs they brought, there were a few fresh Su Xing flowers.
After all, the Suxing flowers that cannot be found outside can be found in large quantities in Lan Valley, but they will bloom faster than you pick them.
Because of a few Suxing flowers, the head and his wife of the Songheng Sect felt that they owed a huge favor.
When they decided to come to Xuanjing Island just now, Shi Li was worried that the island owner was wary of their ill intentions, so he sent a message to the wife of the leader of Songheng Sect, asking her to help mediate and that he was really here to help.
The headmaster's wife finally had a child, and when she heard that Shi Li was going to help her brother and niece this time, she naturally helped with all her strength and wrote a letter to tell the island owner that her benefactor was coming to help him.
The owner of Xuanjing Island didn't know the inside story, but when he saw that the leader of Songheng Sect and his own sister both called each other "benefactor", he immediately felt it was extraordinary and took it very seriously.
This is what happened just now.
Led by the disciples, the group met the owner of Xuanjing Island.
The middle-aged man did not show any strange expression when he saw Shi Li wearing a veil hat. It seemed that he had been told about it by his sister in the letter.
But he ignored Xie Huanyan who came later and walked up to bow to Shi Li and Mo Yi.
The other party was the head of the sect. Shi Li turned aside and did not accept the greeting. She just asked him to describe in detail how Qiu Wanxi was kidnapped and all the things he had found out.
While ordering people to serve tea, the island owner recounted in detail what happened on the day his daughter went missing.
Qiu Wanxi did not disappear on the island.
That day, she took her maid to Liucheng to buy things, and ended up meeting the hero Luohua. The hero was very skilled in Qinggong, and took advantage of Qiu Wanxi's unpreparedness to press her acupuncture points and kidnap her.
"Did Miss Qiu's maid tell the island owner these words?"
Unlike others who focused on the hero Luohua, Shi Li noticed the maid mentioned by the island owner.
The island owner was slightly stunned, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked at Shi Li fiercely, "You mean..."
"I just heard what the island owner said, and it suddenly came to my mind." Shi Li only listened to this little bit of the story, so naturally he wouldn't talk nonsense. But when encountering such a thing, it's natural for him to have some doubts.
These people in the martial arts world probably had a fixed mindset and never doubted whether a maid would lie.
In order not to alert the enemy, the island owner immediately and quietly called the others over one by one and asked them in detail about what happened in the days before and after Qiu Wanxi's disappearance.
Finally, he called Qiu Wanxi's master over.
A middle-aged woman with a bun walked in. She was someone Shi Li had seen before.
Qiu Wanxi's master, Lin Xiaoyun, was prejudiced against her just like Mu Ziqing, just like those people from the Canglan Sect.
