Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 900: Secret Investigation

Feng Xing nodded, "Indeed, it’s inconvenient in the mountains. It’s better if you all move out."

The village chief smiled, "We’re just old bones now, waiting to return to our roots and rest in peace. We’ve lived most of our lives here and don’t want to move out."

Feng Xing sighed for him, took a sip of tea, and asked, "By the way, when I came here, I heard from the villagers that recently the village has been unsettled, with young people mysteriously dying frequently?"

The village chief’s face turned solemn, "How could that be? You must have heard wrong."

Feng Xing looked confused and pointed outside, "It’s those aunties at the village entrance who said it. We all heard it."

The people around him nodded in agreement.

Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, and the others also looked over momentarily.

Upon hearing this, the village chief’s face turned dark and somewhat displeased, "Those gossipy women are just talking nonsense. You can’t believe what they say. It’s all untrue!"

Seeing that further questions wouldn’t yield answers, Feng Xing smiled apologetically and said, "Maybe we heard wrong. I was just asking casually. Don’t take it to heart, Village Chief."

The village chief forced a smile, saying it was nothing.

But he turned and walked away with the teapot, clearly still upset inside.

Yet his attitude essentially confirmed that what Feng Xing said was the truth.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassingly angry.

Feng Xing and the others exchanged glances and remained cautious.

After finishing their meal, Feng Xing and the others went out, saying they were going to view the scenery and take some photos.

Upon leaving, he glanced at Qing Yue.

Qing Yue, however, paid no attention.

After they left, Xia Xin quietly asked, "Ancestor, should we go out and have a look?"

Jiangli sat in their original place, leisurely drinking tea, "No rush, I think the view from the village chief’s house is quite nice."

Fu Shiyan glanced at the flowers and plants outside, "Indeed, the scenery here is quite unique."

Upon saying that, Jiangli and Fu Shiyan exchanged a look, a tacit understanding between them that’s hard to describe.

Xia Xin, Qing Yue, Duan Jianchuan, and others, seeing this, refrained from saying anything further.

They didn’t know what Jiangli and Fu Shiyan were up to and chose to wait patiently.

Jiangli sat in the dining room for quite a while, seemingly feeling tired, got up, and returned to their room.

As her ’boyfriend,’ Fu Shiyan naturally followed her back.

Xia Xin, Qing Yue, and the others also claimed they were not feeling well and went to their rooms to rest.

However, once in the room, Jiangli wasn’t idle.

Listening to the quiet outside, Jiangli pushed open the door and walked directly to the door of the neighboring room.

Fu Shiyan followed her and asked, "Lili wants to go in?"

Jiangli nodded, her hand already on the doorknob.

The door was locked.

Jiangli squinted slightly, a quick shock from her palm, and with a click, the door opened.

Jiangli glanced at Fu Shiyan, and the two of them quickly and quietly entered the room.

They closed the door behind them.

Leaving the hallway in silence.

As soon as they entered, Jiangli felt a sinking Yin Energy, as if trying to hide itself.

But she still managed to catch a trace of it.

This room truly held utmost importance.

Jiangli stepped inside and surveyed the room.

This single room wasn’t large, with only a bed and a small cabinet, not even a bathroom, requiring the use of a separate bathroom across the hallway.

Judging by the appearance, it didn’t seem like a guest room, rather more like a storage room.

The room was indeed very dirty, dust covering everything.

Jiangli raised her hand, fanning it in front of her nose, and slowly approached the bed, examining her surroundings.
