Faced with such a situation, Xiao Nu was naturally very anxious. How could Su Yun, a living person sitting here, let them in
"This... you can't come in for the time being..."
In desperation, Xiao Nuo said hurriedly.
After these words fell, there was a brief silence outside the room, and then the voice came out again.
"Master Xiao, is it inconvenient for you now? If it is inconvenient now, I can wait outside the house and go in whenever it is convenient. This matter is an order personally issued by the president of the Immortal Courtyard. We dare not neglect it. , please forgive me, Mr. Xiao."
Hearing these words, Xiao Nuo had a headache. The sentimental guys were not going to leave. If they didn't leave, it would be impossible for Su Yun to leave. Although she became the head of Xianting's Information Department, she could not leave. This cultivation place is not that big, but it is still very difficult to hide someone! !
"Then... just wait first, I have no clothes on now..."
Xiao Nu shouted.
After saying this, the people outside were a little speechless, but they all understood and just thought it was Master Xiao Nu who was practicing.
However, this cannot delay for too long. Xiao Nu also knows very well that if Su Yun is not hidden, the crisis will not be resolved. However, Su Yun has fallen into a state of trance at this moment and cannot touch it at all. He couldn't be touched, let alone hidden with the phantom canvas.
what to do? what to do
Xiao Nu's heart was full of anxiety.
She thought that no one would come after Xuan Hong came before, but she didn't expect that the situation would be so serious, and Xianting would check again and again.
Tuk-tuk-tuk…
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
"Master Xiao, it's been nearly half the time of the incense stick. Are you still okay??"
The voices outside seemed a little confused.
Xiao Nu knew that he could not delay it any longer, otherwise, they would definitely be suspicious.
But if we don't delay, should we let them in?
Xiao Nu thought about it, and suddenly, her expression turned cold.
I watched her quickly take out a few pills from the space bag, pour a pot of fairy tea, inject some fairy energy into the pills, rub them into powder with her fingers, and then sprinkle them into the fairy tea.
Immediately afterwards, she took out a shelf and surrounded Su Yun, then took out the phantom canvas and put it on the shelf. Su Yun in the center was blocked but not touched by the canvas. The canvas was activated and the place immediately changed. It turned into a huge alchemy furnace.
Seeing that everything was fine, Xiao Nu immediately walked over, removed the barrier, and opened the door.
There were four men standing outside the door wearing black armor and swords. One of them, wearing an eye patch and with short hair, was Gongsun Zhang. Seeing Xiao Nu open the door, everyone clasped their fists and saluted Xiao Nu: "See you." Pass Master Xiao Nu."
"You're welcome." Xiao Nu looked at the four people expressionlessly and said, "I wonder what you want to do when you come here?"
As she spoke, she tugged on her clothes to prove that she was indeed not wearing any clothes just now. But he had no intention of letting the four people in.
Gongsun Zhang looked around and whispered: "Master Xiao Nu, there are many people here, why don't you go in and talk?"
Xiao Nu heard the sound, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, you guys come in and talk."
Xiao Nuo said, turned around and walked in.
The four people entered the house one after another and the door was closed.
After entering the house, everyone looked around. Xiao Nu frowned slightly. Knowing that these guys were still a little suspicious, he said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me. Xiao Nu is listening."
Gongsun Zhang hurriedly clasped his fists: "Since Mr. Xiao has said so, we will not waste Mr. Xiao's time. To make a long story short, in fact, we are here because we have a very confidential matter to discuss with Mr. Xiao. . As for this matter, each department has dedicated people to discuss it with the adults of each department. This matter is related to whether our Immortal Court can survive this turmoil safely and whether it can continue to strengthen in the future development. Therefore, Very important.”
Hearing Gongsun Zhang's words, Xiao Nu felt that the matter seemed to be much more serious than imagined, and immediately asked: "What exactly is it?"
Then Gongsun Zhang took out a small silver book and opened it. On it were the names of the personnel of the Ministry of Finance. Some of them were crossed out, some were checked, and many of them had no trace.
"What is this?" Xiao Nuo asked in confusion.
"This is the list of personnel from the Ministry of Capital." Gongsun Zhang pointed to the top and said: "Those who have checked the box are those who have proved that they have no suspicion, are innocent, and are loyal to Immortal Court, and those who have made the cross... are those who have Those who may have betrayed the Immortal Court and acted as petty thieves have all been controlled and taken to the Criminal Department. The remaining people who have not been marked are those who have not yet been dealt with."
"Really?" Xiao Nu's heart skipped a beat. Although she knew that the people in Xianting were vigorously searching for Su Yun's whereabouts, she never expected that the superiors would take this matter so seriously that they would arrest people indiscriminately. The situation!
"Now various departments are conducting investigations, so many things have to be suspended. It can be seen that the superiors attach great importance to this chaos in the forbidden area. If they don't come up with a result and explain it, I'm afraid no one will have an easy time. ." Gongsun Zhang sighed.
"Then... what do you want from me?" Xiao Nu asked.
"I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to cooperate with us and provide us with clues to help us find Xiao Xiao who may be hiding in the capital department. In addition... the superiors have issued a secret order. There should also be demon spies in our fairy court. Mr. Xiao While you are looking for the thief, I also hope you will pay attention. If you have any clues... please inform us in time... "
Gongsun Zhang whispered, speaking very carefully.
Although Xiao Nu was expressionless on the surface, he was frightened in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Xianting has already noticed it. It seems that you need to be cautious when contacting Su Yun in the future...
Gongsun Zhang was about to say something to Xiao Nu, but at this moment... hiss...
A slight noise suddenly came from the side. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that the huge cauldron next to them suddenly twisted.
Everyone was shocked and immediately stood up, looking at the cauldron with vigilance.
"what happened?"
"This cauldron... is a disguise??"
Gongsun Zhang frowned and drank in a low voice.
"This is just one of my magic weapons. When the elixir in the alchemy furnace is almost finished, this phenomenon will occur. Don't be nervous." Xiao Nu stood up quickly, said with a smile, and then picked up the elixir placed next to him. Immortal tea was handed to everyone.
"Come on, everyone has been busy for so long. You must be tired, right? Come and drink tea. This is what I cooked specially for you."
Xiao Nu said.
"Hmph, Mr. Xiao, why do you need to deceive us? Although our strength is inferior to Mr. Xiao, we can still tell whether this cauldron is an illusion or not."
Gongsun Zhang said coldly, then walked over directly and stretched out his hand to grab it.
The phantom canvas was immediately torn off, and the cauldron disappeared, replaced by several crooked bookshelves and a muscular man with no upper body.
"Well?"
Everyone was stunned.
"you… "
The man inside was also quite surprised. He took two steps back and looked at these people carefully.
"You... who are you?" Gongsun Zhanghe asked.
"I... I... I am..." The man hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
But at this moment, Xiao Nu over there suddenly spoke up.
"He...he is...he is my dual cultivation partner!!!!"
She was a little shy and stuttered when she spoke, and one could tell that she was very nervous at the moment.
But what he said surprised Gongsun Zhang and others.
Since Xiao Nu entered the Immortal Court, she has always acted decisively and had a tough personality. She never got involved in matters between men and women, which discouraged many immortals who admired her. Naturally, her reputation grew.
It is said that several immortals with good strength and low official rank are interested in her and hope to form a dual cultivation partner with her, but they were all rejected by her. But now, everyone was shocked when they heard what Xiao Nu said! !
"Master Xiao, what you said... can't be true?" Gongsun Zhang said.
"Can... can we still have a lie? Just now... The reason why I didn't open the door just now was... because we were..." Xiao Nu's words became more and more stuttering, and his face was as red as fire.
Gongsun Zhang and others are not fools. If they still don't understand the meaning of Xiao Nu's words, then they are mentally retarded.
"It turns out...it turns out to be like this..." Gongsun Zhang coughed, his face looking quite embarrassed.
"Master Xiao Nu is practicing. We understand... understand..."
everyone said.
Although the words are polite on the surface, everyone has different thoughts. Why don't they secretly scold Xiao Nu for being different on the outside? She looks like a pure woman, but in fact she is so promiscuous...
Gongsun Zhang looked at Su Yun, looked around, and said, "But having said that, Master Xiao, is this Master... from our Immortal Court?"
"Ah...he...he...he is not from the Immortal Courtyard...he is...is..."
"I am a member of the Bahe Sect. I came here to exchange and study under the order of my master. I have known Master Xiao Nu before, so...hehe..."
"Oh? It turns out he's from Bahemen..."
"You do have some skills."
Gongsun Zhang and others laughed. They looked at the guy in front of them. His skin was a little pale, but his whole body looked unusually well-dressed. He was pretty handsome, but he didn't know how strong he was.
No wonder Xiao Nu rejected so many immortals. She already has a partner in love.
But at this moment, Gongsun Zhang suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly turned cold, he stared at the man with cold eyes, and asked Shen: "Since you are hiding aside, let me ask you about the conversation we had with Mr. Xiao Nu just now. , have you... heard everything??"
