Chapter 622: Chance Encounter
Hearing this, Xia Wushuang showed a helpless look on his face and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it's embarrassing to say that the head of my generation actually doesn't care about things. The family affairs, big or small, are handled by other people."
He was originally just a nominal head of the family. In addition, he was also obsessed with cultivation, so where would he have time to take care of the trivial matters of the family.
Duan Qing didn't actually expect to know Sheng'er's whereabouts directly from Xia Wushuang. After all, even if he was the head of the family, it was impossible for him to know everything that happened in the family in detail.
He said so, just to ask Xia Wushuang to help him investigate.
"Can you ask Senior Xia to help find out about this matter!" Duan Qing said seriously.
"Why not, it's a small matter!" Xia Wushuang agreed very happily.
Duan Qing helped him untie his knot in the past and allowed him to continue his path. How could he refuse this small favor?
And Duan Qing is now a member of the Shinto sect. How could he miss this opportunity to make friends?
Especially, Duan Qing's cultivation level has actually improved by a whole realm in more than two years. With such talent and being a disciple of the Shinto sect, his future achievements will be limitless.
"Thank you, Senior Xia!" Duan Qing thanked sincerely.
Xia Wushuang's quick agreement made him feel relieved.
"What are you talking about, little friend Duan!" After saying this, Xia Wushuang immediately summoned a servant and told him about the matter.
After a full stick of incense, the servant came back.
"Report to the master, no one from the Xia clan in Manyue City has been to Liuyue City in the past month!" The servant said respectfully.
Hearing the servant say this, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Are you sure that no one has been there?" Xia Wushuang confirmed to the servant.
"Indeed, no one has been there!" The servant said with certainty.
Xia Wushuang's face was also a little disappointed when he heard this.
Duan Qing came to him for help on purpose. To be honest, he really wanted to help Duan Qing find the girl and accept this favor.
But he also knew that the servants' words were mostly true.
When his father left two months ago, he had specifically instructed that the Xia family should try not to cause trouble during his absence.
Moreover, the Xia family had been operating in Manyue City for many years and was self-sufficient in all aspects. They even built a market for cultivators to trade. Usually, few people went to Liuyue City.
After sending the servants away, Xia Wushuang pondered for a while and said to Duan Qing: "Are you sure that the girl was rescued by my Xia family?"
Duan Qing was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
After all, this was only Wu Li's one-sided statement, and at that time he was afraid of complications and was anxious to come to the Xia family to verify, so he did not go to Wu Li's subordinate Yue Cha to confirm this matter.
However, based on his experience and the secret technique of physiognomy obtained from Shi Yaogan, Wu Li should not have lied.
Seeing that Duan Qing could not be sure that the person was rescued by the Xia clan, Xia Wushuang was somewhat helpless, but he still patiently said: "Don't worry, little friend Duan, if this matter is really done by my Xia clan, I will give you an explanation."
"Thank you, Senior Xia, I will remember this favor!" Duan Qing said absent-mindedly.
"Haha, little friend Duan is polite, how about this, you two stay in my Xia family for a few days, I will order people to investigate this matter with all their strength." Xia Wushuang laughed and suggested.
"Then I'll bother you, Senior Xia!" Duan Qing nodded and accepted Xia Wushuang's proposal.
At present, there is no other clue about Sheng'er except the Xia family, and he doesn't want to give up the Xia family line like this.
So he can only stay in the Xia family for the time being.
If Sheng'er can't be found in the Xia family, then he may have to go back to Liuyue City and start from the beginning!
So, under Xia Wushuang's arrangement, Duan Qing and Xuan Jing temporarily lived in the Xia family.
On the first night at the Xia family, Duan Qing did not sleep all night, nor did he have the heart to practice, all he could think about was Sheng'er.
Thinking of the scene when he met Sheng'er in the third heaven, Duan Qing could not help but feel a little distressed.
At the same time, he was more determined to find Sheng'er.
Early the next morning, Duan Qing left Xuan Jing, left the room, and wandered around the Xia clan.
Although Xia Wushuang promised him that he would do his best to supervise the matter, he was still a little worried and wanted to see it in person at the Xia family.
The Xia clan was not small in scale, with a range of several miles, and there were thousands of houses of all sizes. It could almost be called a small city, similar to Xiao'an City.
It was just dawn at this time, and there were not many people walking on the streets of the clan, and most of them were some relatively active young faces.
Almost everyone he met on the road cast a curious look at him, a stranger.
Fortunately, no one came forward to question him, or arrested him as an intruder.
From this point of view, the Xia clan members gave Duan Qing a good impression.
"Sister, can you hurry up and take the things back!"
"Why are you rushing me? I finally came out once, why are you in such a hurry to go back!"
"I'm about to break through! It's all your fault. The old man clearly asked you to come to Manyue City, but you insisted on dragging me along!"
"You little girl, it doesn't matter if you don't play for a few days this time, how can you have fun!"
"Sister!!!"
...
At this time, a conversation faintly coming from the direction of the gate of the Xia clan made Duan Qing shudder for no reason.
This voice reminded him of two people, two people he avoided!
Could it be these two people!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing turned his head and looked towards the gate.
He saw two young Taoist nuns walking towards him.
One of them was excited, and the other looked a little depressed.
Sure enough, it was these two!
They were the chatterbox sisters Si Wen'an and Si Wenjing whom Duan Qing had met in Xiahe City, Dingzhou.
Back then, he and the two girls, as well as the old man Xia Jili, went to Jiuding City together to attend the Qingjiang Boat Festival. On the way, he was annoyed by these two chatterboxes.
Seeing the two sisters Si Wen'an and Si Wenjing, Duan Qing subconsciously wanted to slip away.
After experiencing the annoying verbal harassment of the two, he would rather get along with a villain like Mo Jian than deal with the two girls again.
He had just taken two steps out, but suddenly thought of something, unconsciously stopped and thought on the spot.
At this time, the two sisters Si Wen'an came closer and saw Duan Qing standing in front of them.
"Huh!" Sister Si Wen'an exclaimed in surprise, as if she felt that Duan Qing looked familiar.
Then, she suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face, and said happily: "Isn't this fellow Daoist Duan!"
Hearing her sister Si Wen'an say this, the depressed sister Si Wenjing also looked at Duan Qing.
"It's really Fellow Daoist Duan!" Sister Si Wenjing's depressed mood was immediately swept away when she found her old friend Duan Qing.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, you are really not nice. You said you would come to find me, but after two years, there is no news!" After the surprise, Si Wen'an immediately started to complain.
"That's right, my sister and I treated you as a friend and treated you so well!"
