As the tiny cut opened, her body quickly withered like a wilting flower, leaving only skin and bones, completely unrecognizable from when she was alive.
The middle-aged man took a step back, stunned. His fists clenched tightly as his body trembled violently, struggling to contain himself.
His daughter had actually died from having her essence drained! At such a young, flower-like age, she died so tragically!
Who did it? Who had so cruelly killed his daughter?
He felt a fierce anger rising inside him, mixed with sadness and loss. The tough man squatted down and cried silently.
"Father..." The man at the door looked at his father, who was crying silently, also feeling distressed.
The middle-aged man got up, wiped his tears off, and went outside. Seeing Feng Jiu sitting outside drinking tea, he ran up and knelt down before her.
"Please, Madam, help find my daughter's murderer!" he asked for help with his fists cupped. He knew it would be difficult to find the murderer with their limited skills. However, the woman in red in front of him had a mysterious identity and was surrounded by powerful cultivators. She could also see the cause of his daughter's death at a glance. She might be the only one who could help him find the murderer.
Feng Jiu sipped her tea, her expression indifferent. She remained silent, letting the middle-aged man kneel in front of her and without asking him to stand. "I am not one to ddle in other people's affairs. I ca to take a look out of curiosity, but now that my curiosity has been satisfied, I have no interest in getting involved."
At first, she was curious to find out who could kill in silence in such a place. But after seeing the corpse of the girl, she ca to her own conclusions.
Once this curiosity was gone, she was naturally too lazy to ddle in other people's business.
"Madam, I, the surnad Xue, has limited skills. But, she was my only daughter. Her death has also led us to suspect you. Please help us; I will be eternally grateful," he continued to plead, still kneeling.
"Madam, I apologise for my rudeness earlier. I will kowtow as an apology and ask for your help in finding my daughter's murderer," he said, earnestly kowtowing three tis.
"Mother, please slow down..."
A worried voice rang out as another son helped a woman walk out. In her haste, she stumbled slightly, but her son caught her just in ti to keep her from falling.
She also knelt before Feng Jiu, her tears pouring silently as she said, "Madam, I beg you, my daughter died so tragically. Please help us find the murderer…"
The woman's cries were filled with pain and despair. When the son who brought his mother saw his parents bowing, he knelt as well.
The villagers watching at the doorway beca worried. A murder had occurred in their village, and the victim was the daughter of this family. If the murderer was not caught and they all left, would the murderer still be here?
As they thought about this, they started to whisper anxiously to each other. Eventually, one by one, they also entered and knelt before the immortal-like woman in red.
