Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1575 Transportation

Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "If it's not news from Zixiu herself, could it be news from someone close to her?"

Huo Chuner nodded and continued, "Yes, about half a year ago, the Huo family of Daomen, Xiaojinghu, Diancangshan...ah, anyway, all the sects that can be named organized a siege together. The person who was sieged was the Wheel King of Guimen. I heard that he has a close relationship with Zixiu."

Fang Zilan felt her heartbeat quicken, and couldn't help asking, "Later, did the Wheel King die in the encirclement?"

"So Qianjinfang really didn't know about this?" Mr. Liu couldn't help but interject. Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that, Mr. Liu?"

"Mr. Liu, my father spent a lot of money to buy information from Qianjinfang, but the money was returned intact, which means Qianjinfang definitely didn't know about this. Do you still think it's fake?" Huo Chun'er replied impatiently. Mr. Liu stammered, "That's not what I meant..."

"Ms. Huo, what exactly do you want to say?" Fang Zilan interrupted Mr. Liu. Since it was about the Wheel-Turning King Chu Bin, it was difficult for her to remain completely calm and composed.

"Many people disappeared during the encirclement and suppression, including the eldest disciple of the Huo family of Daomen, the eldest senior brother who was about to inherit my father's legacy, and he disappeared." Huo Chun'er lowered her voice and said, "So my father paid a lot of money to ask Qianjinfang, but unexpectedly, Qianjinfang was unable to give an answer."

Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy. Ever since Chu Bin disappeared, Qianjinfang had been investigating, but there was no news, so they had never reported the disappearance to her in detail.

Now, after listening to what Huo Chun'er said, she realized that it was not only Chu Bin who disappeared at that time, but also many disciples of the sect. In this case, it is possible that there may be some forces that she is not aware of that are secretly causing trouble.

However, what kind of dark quagmire must a force be that even Qianjinfang couldn't find? Even if she found it, it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed.

But... Mo Han is dead. If Chu Bin...

Fang Zilan didn't dare to think further. She accepted the fact that she couldn't protect everyone around her, but if she didn't even know whether they were alive or dead, what was the point of being so unclear?

"Miss Zhen, are you listening?" Huo Chun'er waved her hand in front of Fang Zilan's eyes. She came back to her senses and asked, "What?"

"I said." Huo Chun'er deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and her voice rose a little, "A few days ago, my father finally found out where they were last seen."

"Where is it?" Fang Zilan held Huo Chun'er's wrist. She stammered somewhat at a loss, "On the way to Suzhou Prefecture, not far from Zuiyue Tower."

"What did you say?" Fang Zilan couldn't believe it. She used more force in her hands, causing Huo Chun'er to grimace. "Miss Zhen, you are so strong that you hurt me."

“How could this be…” Fang Zilan let go of her hand, staggered two steps as if she had lost all her strength, and murmured, “This is impossible…”

"Why is it impossible?" Huo Chun'er asked in confusion. Fang Zilan stood still. "Suzhou Prefecture is prosperous and wealthy. Several people have been missing for several months without any news. The prefecture has not responded at all. Do you think it is possible, Miss Huo?"

"I..." Huo Chun'er licked her lips hesitantly. Mr. Liu's expression became more serious. "Of course it's impossible."

Hearing this, Huo Chun'er became anxious, "I didn't lie, my father did find out..." "Miss Huo, if what you said is true." Fang Zilan interrupted Huo Chun'er, her expression a little sharper, "Either this is a misunderstanding, or Suzhou Prefecture cannot escape responsibility."

Her last words were so heavy that Huo Chun'er and Mr. Liu could hardly breathe. "This is impossible..."

Several people have been missing for several months. This is a real thing. It is impossible to be a misunderstanding. But who can make so many people disappear under the nose of the state government? Especially in a big prefecture like Suzhou.

"If you have thought it through, then don't pursue it any further." Fang Zilan restrained her expression, "This is not something that ordinary people in the martial arts world can figure out."

"Ms. Zhen, aren't you just an ordinary person from the martial arts world..." Huo Chun'er stopped talking right after she opened her mouth. Qianjinfang wanders between the martial arts world and the imperial court, and it's hard to say what secrets they can uncover.

Fang Zilan ignored Huo Chun'er's reaction. She just yawned and said, "I'm a little tired after talking to you two for so long."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly and left without looking back. Huo Chun'er and Mr. Liu looked at her from behind and exchanged glances, both seeing danger in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Liu, for some reason, the soldiers from the Jiangnan camp suddenly raided Zuiyue Tower today..." Huo Chun'er said hesitantly, "Do you think the Fang family can still hold the Spring Festival Party this year?"

"Whether the Fang family's Spring Festival Party can be held or not, we have to stay in Zuiyue Tower." Mr. Liu let out a long sigh. "The person who agreed to sell the Huo family's information proposed this place as the transaction location, but the time just happened to coincide with the Spring Festival Party..."

"Is it really a coincidence?" Huo Chun'er's expression was gloomy. "Before I left, I heard my father say that the Fang family's spring fair this year is different from the past. Among the trading items, there is more information. Maybe the Fang family already knew that Qianjinfang's people would come, or maybe someone was planning to fish in troubled waters..."

"Chun'er." Mr. Liu stopped Huo Chun'er's words lightly, "Don't you want to find the senior brother?"

"Of course I thought so, but..." Huo Chun'er pursed her lips and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "If it is really as Miss Zhen from Qianjinfang said just now, we may have to deal with the state government. You also know that people from the martial arts world don't get involved in court affairs. Once they are dragged in, it will be difficult to get out."

"Do you believe what Miss Zhen from Qianjinfang said?" Mr. Liu frowned. "Geng Nan once said that she was holding Zixiu's plum sword. If that's the case, I'm afraid her identity may not be true."

"Her identity is guaranteed by Zuiyue Tower, and how can Geng Nan's words be taken seriously?" Huo Chun'er sneered, "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Zixiu wields a plum sword and stirs up bloody storms, but has anyone actually seen it?"

She said with a grim smile, "Aren't all the people I've seen dead?"

"Chun'er!" Mr. Liu quickly grabbed Huo Chun'er's wrist and felt her pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief and found nothing unusual. "You can't stand being provoked. Don't use such words to provoke yourself."

"I'm fine." Huo Chun'er shook her head and covered her heart with her hands, as if muttering to herself: "I will always remember that my grandparents and my mother all died under Zixiu's plum sword. And my eldest brother also disappeared while chasing the Wheel King who was related to Zixiu."
