Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 229 The Lost Kids

Being very angry, Qin Yuming glares at Gao Ge and then comforts the little girl by patting her back.

The other two persons who come with them are rather speechless, who find it hard to understand Gao Ge’s jokes.

“Chen Long, go on.” Qin Yuming looks at Gao Ge and sighs, “Just ignore him.”

Chen Long nods his head and sits down to ponder for a while. He is probably thinking about how to express himself. Then he says, “What I said before has been recorded in the report and the report was submitted. I’ll start from what happened after I submitted the report...”

Hearing that, Gao Ge is disgruntled and hastens to say, “Please brief what you said before, for I don’t know that.”

Chen Long is slightly surprised and then looks at Qin Yuming. She nods her head to allow him to talk about what he said before.

Not only Gao Ge but also the other two persons don’t know that.

“Actually, over the past several days, plenty of kids are missing, all of whom live in the two residential areas nearby.” Chen Long says calmly.

“Is it done by traffickers?” Gao Ge asks.

“No.” Chen Long looks at him and says, “If it is a normal case, the Dragon Court won’t be needed.”

On second thought, Gao Ge agrees.

He seems to have asked a stupid question.

“Since it is a supernatural case, is it done by a ghost?” Qin Yuming asks.

“It is hard to say.” Chen Long shakes his head, saying, “If it is really about a common ghost, I should be able to sense it. However, by now, I haven’t sensed anything.”

Qin Yuming frowns.

She seems to think that this matter is tough to tackle.

It is beyond Gao Ge’s understanding.

Qin Yuming explains, “Endowed with Yin Yang Eyes, Chen Long is sensitive to ghosts. Generally, any ghost appears within 10 li away from him, he will immediately sense that.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

He also understands why Qin Yuming frowns after their conversation ends.

If this problem is caused by a common ghost, it is easy to solve.

However, if Chen Long cannot even sense who has captured the kids, it is a serious problem then.

“What do you think?” Qin Yuming asks.

Gao Ge shakes his head, “I don’t know anything. What can I think of?”

Qin Yuming doesn’t count on Gao Ge.

Then Chen Long passes some materials to Qin Yuming.

They start to read together.

The materials are about the missing kids’ profiles and family background.

They try to find something in common among the missing kids.

Gao Ge is sitting outside the store to watch the heavy traffic on the street.

The pedestrian street is not narrow but there are cars on both sides of the street, making the street seem rather crowded. In the front of the pedestrian street is a school. Gao Ge has noticed it when he came here. Now it should be time that school is over.

Many people come and go in the county. Gao Ge is sitting at the door to feel everything in this place. He thinks that it must be more comfortable to live in such a place than living in the metropolis. At least the life pace here is much slower and you don’t need to try so hard to earn a living every day. The biggest difference is that you will feel that time passes by slowly when you live here for ten years while you will sense time flies swiftly if you live in the metropolis for ten years.

That is a kind of place where you don’t even get a second to stop and think about life.

“Here you are!”

A timid voice comes from behind him.

Gao Ge turns around to look at the little girl who is passing him a candy. He grins, takes the candy, tears off the candy paper and eats it. A sour flavor starts to stimulate his taste bud. He can’t help frowning with a grimace of pain. Then the little girl starts to clap her hands and bursts into laughter, feeling so happy for venting out her hatred.

“What do you think of that? How dare you scare me?”

Gao Ge is delighted and says, “But you gave me your candy. You are the one who paid.”

The little girl is dumbfounded instantly.

She thinks for a long while and then leaves with tears.

Gao Ge becomes even more amused.

Sitting on the chair to make fun of kids is an enjoyment for Gao Ge.

This time, Gao Ge is not worried about the task. After all he is brought by Qin Yuming here, which makes Qin Yuming take the dominant position. Gao Ge only needs to listen to his leader’s arrangement and execute it as a pawn step by step.

After a while, Qin Yuming carries a chair and sits beside Gao Ge.

“What do you think it is if it is not ghost?”

Gao Ge shakes his head.

It is not different from asking him what the name of the nearby shop’s owner’s daughter’s boyfriend’s uncle is.

“Based on the materials I have got, the missing kids are of the similar height and age. Besides, they are all boys.”

Gao Ge nods his head and then turns to wink at the little girl, who is peaking in the store.

“Did you hear that? You are safe!”

The little girl immediately withdraws her head.

Qin Yuming finds it both funny and annoying, “Are you listening to me or not?

Gao Ge coughs, “You are the leader and I am your member. If you have anything that needs me to do, just tell me.”

Qin Yuming snorts and stares at Gao Ge, saying, “You are still contradicting the Dragon Court mentally. Were you so dandiacal when you conducted the tasks of the Dragon Court?”

Gao Ge thinks it over and says nothing.

His mind has been seen through anyway.

If he still tries to defend for himself, Gao Ge will look down upon himself.

Right then, Gao Ge suddenly says, “Please stand aside.”

Qin Yuming raises her head only to find that a customer is coming.

She hurries to get up and stand aside.

The customer is an old man with his face full of age pigment, who is about 70 or 80 years old. He smiles politely at Gao Ge and Qin Yuming, probably as a gesture to appreciate their making way for him.

“Very few people who come here can laugh.” Qin Yuming says.

Gao Ge doesn’t comment and then asks, “Is this store Chen Long’s?”

“He is garrisoning here. The Dragon Court has its member guarding everywhere.” Qin Yuming says.

Gao Ge asks with his eyes full of anticipation, “Can I apply for an allocation to Jiangnan?”

“Have a guess.”

“I guess it is not likely.” Gao Ge lowers his head.

If possible, it will be nice.

He finds it great to stay in a familiar city and lead a normal life.

“Is that his daughter?”

“No.” Qin Yuming says, “Chen Long is 43 years old. How can his daughter be that young? Yet, he does have a daughter, who is a university student now and will enter the Cultivation Academy in future. Maybe she will join the Dragon Court too.”

Gao Ge says curiously, “That girl...”

“She is an abandoned child but she is a bit special...”

At that moment, a voice suddenly comes from inside the store.

“Boss!”

The voice sounds a bit anxious.

Qin Yuming and Gao Ge look at each other, hasten to stand up and walk into the store quickly.
