"What's happening in Yezhou?"
"Yezhou? The City of Binglan?"
Yong Huai nodded, "That's right. Does Miss Sang know about Yezhou?"
"The City of Binglan is quite famous; how could I not know? But if you ask me how well I understand it, it's only a superficial knowledge."
"If Miss Sang is willing to listen, I can elaborate a bit more."
"I would like to hear the details."
Yong Huai began to speak, "Yezhou wasn't always called that. It was renamed after the renowned blacksmith Ouyang Ye from Binglan rose to fame.
Since then, more and more master blacksmiths from the Ouyang Family have emerged, making the Ouyang Family the pinnacle of the blacksmithing world in Binglan, without a doubt.
In the martial world, the Ouyang Family forged the Top Ten Famous Swords, which are highly sought after by Jianghu people.
In the court, the Ouyang Family has also taken on part of the development and modification of battlefield weapons, earning praise and respect from the court officials.
Recently, the Court commissioned a batch of elite weapons from them, but when delivery day came, there was no sign of the Ouyang Family. The Court sent someone to inquire, but upon arriving in Yezhou, that person also went missing.
However, merchant caravans traveling north and south brought some news: they said that Yezhou City was marked by signs of a Great Fire burning everywhere. Passersby dared not enter the city to investigate and avoided it from afar.
Rumors of evil spirits seeking lives and massacres have spread to surrounding cities.
The Court then sent us Demon Catchers to take a look. Qiu Zizai took on this mission, and it has been half a month since he left. Yet we have received no news; I worry that something has happened to him."
"That's strange," Sang Qingxiao remarked. "The rumors say Old Vine is looking into this matter. Qiu Zizai is quite capable; perhaps something has delayed him from contacting you."
"It was agreed that he would contact us every three days. In all his years on missions, he has only exceeded that timeframe four times, with the longest being just seven days. But now it has been half a month. I tried reaching out to him several times over the past few days without any response; I'm genuinely worried."
"His combat abilities are stronger than mine, and his reconnaissance skills surpass my own. If he has run into trouble, I truly wouldn't know where else to find help and could only turn to Miss Sang here, hoping you would remember our past and lend a hand."
Sang Qingxiao tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, seemingly deep in thought while actually waiting for Old Vine's reply.
Old Vine sensed the seriousness of the situation and acted quickly; he first replied to Sang Qingxiao with two words: "It's true."
"Is what Yong Huai said accurate? Are Evil Spirits really causing trouble?" Sang Qingxiao asked.
Old Vine seemed to be inquiring further. After a while, he replied, "It’s like the Great Fire in Yezhou, which burns fiercely from time to time. Even after several heavy rains, the flames couldn’t be extinguished. It’s as if the fire has a mind of its own; it doesn’t burn randomly. There’s a pattern to it that still needs to be observed."
"You know that most demons fear fire, so I haven’t been able to gather much news from within the city. I’ve only learned about this situation from the demons outside the city."
"However, you might want to ask Qi Xiaomian. My demon friend saw him, and his current area of activity is indeed Yezhou."
