The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C366

Chapter 366: Aunt, indeed

Thousands of miles of cirrus clouds moved with the wind over the Tianfeng Immortal City. It was located on the side of Nanke Snow Mountain in the Northern Domain, ushered in on a rare sunny day.

In the high tower in the center of the city, a tall woman wearing a snow-white man’s python robe was sitting at a desk, reading the file in her hand.

The woman’s eyes were burning and heroic. At first glance, she looked like a more feminine man, but the embroidery on the chest of the python robe that was squeezed out of shape by her figure truly showed that she was a girl.

After Xu Mulan read the file in her hand, she frowned and turned her head to look at the woman dressed as a book boy next to her, “Four girls aged 12 or 13 disappeared in Wujia Town overnight. The Royal Guards searched for three days and couldn’t find even a trace?”

“There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the footprints were covered. The person who committed the crime may have used some magic weapon to hide the breath… This…”

Hearing this, Xu Mulan couldn’t help but frown severely. Starting a few months ago, teenage girls had disappeared one after another in several villages and towns around Tianfeng Immortal City.

The Royal Guards had been investigating for several months. Except for a few people who were taken away by monsters in the mountains, there was no clue about the others.

If this case remained unsolved, she was afraid it would cause panic.

Xu Mulan pinched her nose, a little confused. The book boy next to him was silent for a while and asked,

“Commander Xu, do you want to bring your sister to live in Tianfeng Immortal City temporarily? This thief is specifically targeting girls of twelve or thirteen years old, and the subordinates are worried…”

When Xu Mulan heard this, she glared,

“It’s impossible for me to bring all the girls aged 12 or 13 within a hundred miles to the Commander’s Mansion.”

“After all, she is your sister, the commander of the Royal Guards…”

“Stop talking, I will punish you if you say anything else!”

“Ah… Yes.” Xu Mulan let out a heavy breath and continued to read the file. At this time, there were suddenly two knocks on the door,

Bang bang——

“Come in.”

A snow-clad guard pushed open the door and delivered a jade slip to Xu Mulan’s table with both hands, saying, “Tianfeng Immortal City, the head of the Liu family wants to see the leader.”

“Mr. Liu!” Xu Mulan was slightly confused, took the jade slip, and scanned it away with her spiritual consciousness.

When the royal guard who came in saw Xu Mulan reading the jade slip, he took a step back with obvious timidity and lowered his head.

At the beginning of the letter, there were a lot of greetings, and then she saw the following, “Quanzi is seventeen this year. I heard that Commander Xu has a sister who is in her golden years, so I want to find a good match for Quanzi, and I hope Commander Xu will make it happen.”

“…”

The next moment, with a bang sound, Xu Mulan dropped the jade slip in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces and dissipating it into spiritual light.

“Tell him! Missing!”

“…Yes.”

The snow-clad guard bowed his hands in salute, shook his head helplessly, closed the door, and left.

After he left, Xu Mulan pinched her nose and sighed helplessly, “Hey… How many times this month?”

The book boy next to him recalled it and replied, “Reporting to the commander, this is the fifth time.”

“Well…” Xu Mulan shook his head.

Half a year ago, after her sister Xu Xiyue turned twelve years old, one after another the cultivating families from around Tianfeng Immortal City came to the Commander’s Mansion to send letters of approval and propose marriage to Xu Xiyue.

Some people were attracted by her sister’s appearance, while others were attracted by the identity of the “Sister of the commander of the Royal Guards” and wanted to gain favor with her.

Although there were some good men without any stains among them, Xu Xiyue would live a good life if she married them.

As her parents died after giving birth to her sister, she raised her sister alone. Therefore, for her, Xu Xiyue was everything to her.

Xu Mulan didn’t want to see her precious sister being fucked by a guy who only had a little money!!

Xu Mulan suddenly frowned and turned her head to look at the book boy beside her. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head with a pale face,

“What happened? Commander Xu…”

“Help me draft a notice and put it on the notice board in the city.”

“What announcement?”

“If you want to marry my sister, you have to beat me first!”

“Ah!” The book boy looked surprised. Most of those aristocratic families proposed marriage to their young masters, and those young masters were only in the Qi-refining period, and at most they were only in the foundation-building period.

In other words, if he wanted to marry Xu Xiyue, he would have to rely on his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage to defeat Xu Mulan, a cultivator in the late Core Formation Stage.

Unless Xu Mulan let go, how could anyone beat her?

There was no way a cultivator in the core formation stage would fall in love with a girl with dual spiritual roots.

“Yes, I will write it in a moment.” The book boy bowed, then turned around and went to the table next to him to prepare an announcement.

Xu Mulan let out a sigh of relief and continued to read the files on the missing children in Wujia Town.

After a while, two knocks on the door came from outside the house.

Bang bang——

“Come in.” Another cultivator wearing white armor pushed open the door and walked in. He came to Xu Mulan’s long table and saluted with his hands raised, “Commander, there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you.”

“What distinguished guest?”

“Master of the Chilong Mansion.”

“Western Domain’s Chilong Mansion!”

Xu Mulan frowned as she listened. After thinking for a while, she stood up, went to the side, and took out the map of the Western Domain from the bookshelf, spread it out, and looked at it.

She searched for a long time on the map before finally finding the location of the Chilong Mansion. She twisted her eyebrows and asked, “Could it be that you are proposing marriage to my Xu family again?”

?

The snow-clothed guard was stunned for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally stopped talking altogether and continued, “Commander, I remember hearing a few years ago that the old master of Chilong Mansion passed away a few years ago. Today, Chilong Mansion is left to his only daughter who is only in her twenties to take care of it.”

“Twenty years old… Then her son is only five or six years old at most. She wants to propose marriage to her son so early?”

Xueyi Wei paused, couldn’t help it, and explained straightforwardly, “Commander…

What this subordinate means is that Lord Li doesn’t have a son yet, and there is no need for her to come so far away…”

Hiss—that’s right.” Xu Mulan nodded, and then realized that she had been driven a little crazy by the marriage proposals in recent days, “Then what is she here for?”

“Master Li just said that she wants to see you. She has something extremely important to tell you.”

“It’s extremely important… What important thing can you tell me about the Chilong Mansion in the Western Domain? Why doesn’t she go to Han Yue City and why does she come to my place?”

“I don’t know…” Xu Mulan twisted her eyebrows, thought for a while, then stood up, raised her sword with her hand, took a pair of snow-white feathered armor from the hanger nearby, put it on her body, and then hung up her sword.

“She has come all the way here, so I can’t lose my courtesy. Where is she?”

“The subordinates have already invited her to wait in the guest hall.”

In the Guest Hall of the Commander’s Mansion.

Li Longling, wearing an animal fur robe, sat quietly on the guest seat, twirling the lid of the tea cup with her jade hands, gently stroking the steaming tea in the cup, Ah Feng stood on her shoulder, looking at the guest hall with burning eyes, as if saying– Humph! Not as luxurious as my master’s mansion!

Ye Anping was dressed as a guard in white, carrying the Snow Spirit Sword wrapped in bandages, standing beside Li Longling, waiting for Xu Mulan’s arrival.

However, although he was dressed as a guard, the white clothes he had specially ordered from a clothing store a few days ago. When he was wearing it, he looked like a sunny and righteous young man from the immortal family.

Li Longling looked at him through Ah Feng’s eyes and said, “Mr. Ye, shouldn’t you reveal your identity as the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect? Isn’t the leader of the Royal Guard the sister of Miss Xi Yue?”

“The Hundred Lotus Sect is small and unknown in the Western Domain. Its reputation in the Northern Domain is not even as good as that of a small aristocratic family. This is better.”

“Then you should prepare some gifts! Don’t you want to please Commander Xu?”

“We are not here to propose marriage, we are here for demonic cultivation.”

“Then don’t you have to propose marriage sooner or later?”

“…”

Ye Anping felt helpless and raised his hand to knock her on the head.

Then, Ah Feng glared at him, “Looking for death!” Boy!! Would you like to try another one?

Li Longling covered the back of her head and smiled helplessly,

“Just kidding, I’m not that stingy. I’m more curious now, what does that Xi Yue girl look like? She makes you so attracted to her.”

“Didn’t I say it before? She’s just an ordinary girl.”

“Thousands of words are worth less than one meeting.”

“I’ll see you later, and I have a feeling you’ll be disappointed.”

“If Mr. Ye thinks that I will be disappointed, then I will not be disappointed.” Li Longling smiled playfully and said, “Speaking of which, the last time Mr. Ye checked my meridians, he suddenly stopped.”

Ye Anping paused. He had already asked Xiao Tian to deliver the letter again and then said,

“Let’s continue tonight.”

“Then I will remember it.”

The two chatted casually for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of armor rubbing against each other outside the door of the guest hall.

Ah, Feng immediately turned her head and looked up, raising her chest and head to show off her grace.

Xu Mulan walked into the threshold with three snow-clad guards in the late stage of foundation-building. She glanced at Ye Anping and Li Longling with her heroic light red eyes, walked to the main seat, and sat down, spreading her hands and saying, “I am the commander of the Royal Guards of Tianfeng Immortal City, Xu Mulan.”

Li Longling stood up quickly, turned to face her, and bowed with her hands in hand, “Master of the Chilong Mansion, Li Longling, I would like to thank Commander Xu for taking time out of her busy schedule to meet with this junior.”

During the process of arriving, Xu Mulan listened to a brief introduction to Chilong Mansion by several royal guards who knew the situation in the Western Domain, and knew in advance that Li Longling was a woman who was born blind. After seeing it, she couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. She had seen a lot of blind people, and those people were more or less timid to talk to others, but Li Longling looked no different from ordinary people.

After a pause, Xu Mulan spread her hands and said, “I don’t like small talk. If you have anything to do with Master Li, please just tell me.”

“I want to inform Commander Xu. On the way here, we met many demon cultivators traveling in groups. I wonder if Commander Xu knows about this?”

“Have you met a demon cultivator?” Xu Mulan’s eyes suddenly widened, and she asked, “Where is it?”

Li Longling was silent for a while, then turned to Ye Anping and nodded.

Ye Anping took a step forward, raised his sword with his hand, took out a few storage bags that he had snatched from the hands of the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator before, and said, “Commander Xu, I got these storage bags from the demonic cultivators. There is also a map in them, recording the location where we encountered the demonic cultivators. We believe that the demonic cultivators may have infiltrated into the Northern Domain, and the number is not small.”

Xu Mulan paused, then took a storage bag, took a look at it, then looked up at Ye Anping, and her eyes fell on the sword on his back.

“Who are you?”

“I am Ye Anping, the bodyguard of Lord Li.”

“I know the matter and will send someone to investigate. As for the demonic cultivator infiltrating into the Northern Territory, I will not answer it for the time being until there is concrete evidence. There is a defense line built by the Royal Guards on the eastern border of the Northern Domain. If The demon cultivator has come in, it’s impossible that I haven’t received the news now.”

The fact was that some of the Royal Guards in the Eastern Border of the Northern Domain had been bribed by the magic cultivator.

Of course, Ye Anping couldn’t say this, otherwise it would only arouse Xu Mulan’s suspicion of them.

As the saying goes, the frog should be cooked slowly.

The main purpose of him and Li Longling coming there today was to leave a good first impression on Xu Mulan. After a few more meetings and a few small favors, they could gain Xu Mulan’s trust.

Ye Anping smiled, “Anyway, we came here to inform Commander Xu about this matter. Now that the matter is over, let’s leave first.”

“Commander Xu, we’ll take our leave.”

Li Longling also stood up and bowed her hands, then held up the fire phoenix and left with Ye Anping without looking back.

Xu Mulan, who was sitting in the main seat, watched the two people leave, frowning slightly, then turned to look at the other three snow-clad guards who followed her into the house, “What do you think?”

“Palace Master Li looks young and promising, and she acts very calmly. She is blind but does not look like he is blind. As for the guard, he is so handsome.”

Another royal guard also nodded in agreement, “Yes, what a handsome young man. Men in the Western Domain are all moist, unlike our group of grown-up men, whose skin is as dry as the Gobi Desert.”

“Yes, yes, I think it looks good too.”

Xu Mulan looked at these three people and became infatuated. She frowned and scolded, “What I’m asking is what do you think about demon cultivators?”

The three of them immediately lowered their chins and said, “Ah… I’m sorry, Commander… this… I think it should be true.”

“No news has come from Eastern Domain.” Xu Mulan picked up the map sent by Ye Anping and took a look at it. “But the two of them encountered demon cultivators in the west and south of the Northern Domain…”

“Could it be that a demonic cultivator sneaked into the Northern Domain? Do you want to report it directly to the Empress using the Royal Note?”

“Are the Royal Guards just pawns?”

Xu Mulan frowned and shouted, “There is no way I can send a message to the Empress without evidence to prove this matter. Let me follow the places marked on the map and check them one by one!”

“…Yes!”

After receiving the order, the three of them bowed their hands and walked out of the hall one by one.

After they also left, Xu Mulan looked down at the map in her hand again. She felt as if something big was going to happen. She felt hung up in her heart and couldn’t help but murmur, “Well… he is indeed quite handsome, but he is just a little more handsome.”
