"The little princess is missing!"
Chu Mu stared at the reward, and didn't come to his senses for a long time!
The disappearance of Princess Jinrou is a big event. In fact, the reward was posted two months ago, and it has already caused a lot of trouble in the city.
It's just that Chu Mu always lived a half-isolated life, so he didn't know about the disappearance of the little princess at all.
The princess disappeared mysteriously, and because of the huge reward, many tracking masters all over the world are looking for her.
However, this stunningly beautiful princess seemed to have evaporated from the world, without even the slightest clue.
Some top tracking experts searched for the scent through some items used by the princess, but there was no trace. This made the veterans, elders and palace masters of the Nightmare Palace very anxious, fearing that something might happen to the little princess.
After learning that Princess Jinrou was missing, Chu Mu's first reaction was that it had something to do with the defected girl.
The defecting girl had intended to control Princess Jinrou long ago, and had attacked her many times, but none of them really succeeded, and this time Princess Jinrou disappeared suddenly, Chu Mu felt that it was very likely that the defecting girl was responsible.
Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou also had some friendship, and it was impossible for Chu Mu to ignore it. He had also found the resting place of the Nightmare Palace in the Da Chu family.
Chu Mu originally wanted to ask some insiders of the Nightmare Palace through his identity as Young Master Nightmare, but it happened that Qianqin had also arrived in Wogu City.
Chu Mu could also guess that Qianqin should also be a well-known woman in the Nightmare Demon Palace. She must also know Princess Jinrou, and she should know more about Princess Jinrou's disappearance.
…
When it was almost dusk, Chu Mu waited in the tea house.
Qianqin also came as promised, and she was accompanied by a man in his thirties. To Chu Mu's surprise, the person who accompanied Qianqin was actually a soul emperor-level master.
"The level is higher, why do you meet the Soul Emperor everywhere, why haven't you seen these guys appear before..." Chu Mu muttered.
However, Chu Mu also knew that the field he stepped into was different now, mainly because before, when a strong person came face to face, even the Soul Emperor himself would not be able to detect it.
When Qianqin walked into the teahouse, she asked the man to wait by the side, and the young soul emperor didn't say much, just took a special look at Chu Mu, then sat alone, and asked someone to give him a cup of tea come over.
"Take a soul emperor with you when you go out, then I really made things difficult for you when I brought you to Mangu." Chu Mu also spoke first.
Qianqin shook her head slightly: "I'm not born as an emperor. It's just that a teacher took a fancy to my talent as a spiritual master and accepted me as an apprentice. In fact, I'm not usually so cautious..."
At this time, Qianqin stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice: "At the same time as the princess disappeared, I ran to Mangu without any notice. My teacher thought I was also missing. Fortunately, he found out too late. Come back, otherwise I will be offered a reward... "
"Uh..." Chu Mu also smiled dryly. Speaking of which, Chu Mu didn't care too much at the time, and abducted a girl to Mangu. Thinking about it, it was really inappropriate.
"Well, you said the same time just now? That didn't happen five months ago. Didn't the little princess disappear about two months ago?" Chu Mu suddenly realized and asked hastily.
"It was rumored that it was two months, but in fact the princess's guards, followers, and maids hadn't seen her five months ago." Qianqin said to Chu Mu.
The princess has been missing for so long, yet the Nightmare Palace didn't notice it. This is the negligence of the high-level officials of the Nightmare Palace. They didn't dare to announce that the princess hadn't been seen for five months, so they confirmed that the princess was missing and issued a reward. It was two months, but in fact, no one has seen Princess Jinrou in the past five months.
"For such a long time..." Chu Mu immediately frowned.
If it was five months ago, then it was only four or five months since I left Tianxia City. The power of the defecting girl should have been disintegrated by Master Yu after Chu Mu killed the defecting girl's puppet.
It should be impossible for the defecting girl to reorganize the plan in such a short period of time and snatch Princess Jinrou away, unless there is someone hidden by the defecting girl in Tianxia City...
Anyway, if it was five months ago, when Master Yu was suppressing the power established by the puppet, the possibility of the princess being taken away by the defecting girl would have been much lower.
However, excluding the possibility of the defecting girl's attack, where did the little princess go
"Why did your Nightmare Demon Palace only find out after three months that she is a princess after all, and they haven't been around on any occasion for such a long time, wouldn't they realize that something is wrong?" Chu Mu asked.
"This..." Qianqin hesitated for a while, then secretly glanced at her senior who was drinking tea alone, and said in a low voice.
"Perhaps people of our generation treat Jinrou as the kind of princess who is aloof and aloof, with expert guards who protect her heavily, masters who serve loyally, and among the younger generation, there are countless people who admire and admire her. But in fact, all this is just appearance.”
"It's all appearances? What does this sentence mean? Could it be that she is far less outstanding than people know?" Chu Mu raised his eyebrows.
Qianqin's words made Chu Mu very puzzled. Princess Jinrou's reputation is unquestionable. She is the focus on any occasion. Her mysterious face under the veil and her gentle and generous demeanor can always impress many people. For so many years, her influence on the status of young women has hardly been shaken.
It is also this kind of ethereal gorgeousness and nobility that seems to stand on the altar, so that Chu Mu, who has not liked women with perfect appearance since childhood, became wary of her, and confused her with a defected girl. Of course Chu Mu now knows very well that they are not the same person.
"Princess Jinrou is the image goddess of our Nightmare Demon Palace. Of course, this is a nice way of saying it." At this time, Senior Brother Qianqin who was drinking tea at the side spoke slowly.
He took a special look at Qianqin, smiled apologetically, and indicated that he didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
However, he came over by himself, sat beside Qianqin, with a standard smile on his face, and continued, "Plainly speaking, she is a rather beautiful decoration. Like some churches that erect The image of a saint is used to make more believers feel that the church is pure and noble. In fact, the high-level church members know that the saint is a vase. Without her, it is easy to change to a more beautiful vase. Only so fooled Only people who believe that the saint is the most sacred and inviolable... "
Qianqin's senior brother obviously saw Chu Mu's badge with the seventh-level title of Nightmare Demon Palace, and seeing that Qianqin didn't stop him, he continued to explain.
"You are also a member of our Nightmare Palace, you should also know that there are many dark places in our Nightmare Palace, and our reputation in the past is not very good. This is not good for the development of Nightmare Palace, so we really need someone who can win people's hearts , to eliminate the misunderstanding of the world about our Nightmare Palace, Princess Jinrou is training for this position."
Chu Mu stared at Qianqin's senior brother. Although the man was explaining the facts with a narrating attitude, if he listened carefully, he could feel a little bit of disdain for the little princess from his words, and there was still a bit of disdain in his words. More complex emotions are inside.
"After all, Jinrou is the daughter of the previous generation of devil emperor. Jiangdi succeeded to the throne. Her princess status is indeed in name only..." Qianqin actually didn't want to expose the tragedy of Princess Jinrou's identity in this way, but since the senior brother had already said it, he had no choice but to show.
The words of Qianqin and Senior Brother Qianqin caused quite a stir in Chu Mu's heart. He really did not expect that under the countless dazzling halos of Princess Jinrou, she turned out to be a princess in name only.
"So, the higher ups of the Nightmare Palace don't really care about seeing her for three months..." Chu Mu said slowly.
Qianqin could only nod her head cautiously, she also knew that Chu Mu had some friendship with Princess Jinrou, otherwise she wouldn't be in the seventh and ninth realms.
"Then who announced the reward?" Chu Mu continued to ask.
"Elder Ye Tao, Elder Ye Tao is the little princess' uncle and her only reliance. About her identity, I thought Jin Rou had already told you..." Qianqin said.
Chu Mu shook his head. It was true that Princess Jinrou hadn't mentioned this to Chu Mu. For a while, Chu Mu felt a little helpless. It seemed that he had misunderstood her before.
Perhaps, the melancholy girl looking at the surface of the water elegantly and peacefully is indeed her original appearance.
"Do you know where she is?" Qianqin asked in a low voice.
Chu Mu shook his head, now he can no longer be sure that this is what the defected girl did.
"Maybe, she can't bear this kind of pressure, so she should leave." Qianqin's senior brother said lightly.
Chu Mu also ignored the senior brother's cynicism towards Princess Jinrou, and immediately asked Qianqin about the specific circumstances of Princess Jinrou's disappearance.
It's a pity that even Princess Jin Rou's personal servant could hardly have any definite information about such an early event.
…
Chu Mu himself has no way of looking for it. If no one finds Princess Jinrou, then this woman may really disappear from the world after a while. When people talk about her, they will probably only regret that they did not see her after all. The truth behind her veil.
There was nothing Chu Mu could do about the disappearance of the princess. After all, there was no clue at all. He could only confirm from the defected girl when he arrived in Vientiane City whether the princess was in her hands.
If the princess was not in the hands of the defecting girl, then this kind of weird disappearance, I am afraid that this disappearance that lasted for more than 5 months would really have no subsequent story...
