"Wuxi, you're here."
"Yes."
"Do you know what happened yesterday?”
"I know, I had a spar with Ling Yue yesterday.”
She said it indifferently, and everyone present frowned.
Second Aunt said: " You broke two of Ling Yue's ribs just by sparring? Don't you think this is a little too much?"
"I don't think so."
These four words caused everyone to fall silent again.
I'm not afraid of you shouting and killing like thunder, nor am I afraid of you cowering and crying.
She was afraid that a person would be as indifferent as water to everything. No matter what, she would not be able to feel the waves in her heart.
Right now, Wu Xi was even calmer than water.
Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped up and scolded,"She's your sister, the child of your third uncle's first wife. How dare you do this!”
Looking at the woman, Wu Xi said innocently,""I have to ask you."
"Ask me?"
"Yeah, who asked you to not teach her how to write the four words 'overestimating her self'.”
The third aunt's face turned pale instantly. She pointed at Wu Xi's face while trembling." How dare you talk to me like that?"”
"Why wouldn't I dare? Although I'm the daughter of the Mu Rong family, I'm also the son of heaven's daughter-in-law, King Yong's concubine. If I'm in a good mood, I'll call you third aunt. If I'm in a bad mood, you'll be a slave. I don't expect you to train your daughter like your son, but at least you have to learn what it means to overestimate yourself and act within your means.”
She was about to throw a cup of tea at Wu Xi when she was stopped by a hand. It was Murong Jianhua's hand.
He smiled and said: " Mother, I told you to let it go but you just wouldn't listen. It's Ling Yue's fault. She shouldn't have gone.”
" You're my son and she's my sister. How could you…"
Murong Jianhua smiled and glanced at her, but she didn't say anything.
That gaze was a warning and a dignified one.
"It's not easy for Seventh Sister to return home for only three days. I want to bring Seventh Sister around, what does Grandfather think?”
"It's a good thing that siblings often interact with each other. Let's just forget about Ling Yue's matter and you should spend some time with your Seventh Sister.”
Accompany her, hmph, although he said it nicely, he probably had ulterior motives.
Wu Xi would play with her however she wanted!
"Where does Third Brother want to take Wuxi?”
"There's a place that you can't be considered a member of the Murong family if you don't know about it.”
He took the lead with his lightness skill, and Wu Xi followed closely behind. It was obvious that he was just trying to test where Wu Xi's martial arts came from and what level it was.
She wasn't stupid. Yesterday, she had already revealed her true strength. Lightness Skill seemed to be a low-level martial art, but it was indeed the best way to see a person's foundation. An expert would die from one look.
She deliberately slowed down, sometimes close to him and sometimes far away from him.
The Hengguo Manor was huge, and she knew that Murong Jianhua was leading her in circles.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Wu Xi pretended to be tired and stopped."I can't take it anymore. I'm not going to your place anymore.”
"It's just ahead. It's not good to give up halfway.”
"If you want me to go, I can go.”
She smiled at Murong Jianhua.
Wu Xi was certain that there was no one within a three-mile radius.
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He knew that Wu Xi wanted him to carry her over.
If Murong Jianhua's cultivation hadn't reached a new level, he would definitely have gone crazy.
Murong Jianhua carried Wu Xi and headed straight for their destination.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said,"If we weren't blood relatives, and I wasn't married, I might have pestered you to death."”
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a disappointment to have a woman like you pestering me.”
"How?"
"You're smart and have tricks, but you're too smart and too skilled.”
Wu Xi stroked his hair and said,""There's no reason to be tired of being carried. We've arrived at the place you want to take me to, right? I smell blood.”
The smell of blood had already seeped into Wu Xi's bones. Wherever there was blood, her killer instincts would be awakened.
Cold, meticulous, cruel, and endless darkness.
"Are you very cold?" Murong Jianhua asked. He could feel a cold aura, but it didn't come from his destination.
Wu Xi shook her head. It wasn't cold, but bloodthirsty desire.
"This is it."
He put down Wu Xi and knocked a few stones on the fake mountain. Then, the door opened, revealing a cave that was half the height of a person.
She wasn't particularly proficient in traps, but she had done some research on ancient traps.
As they walked down, a gust of wind blew past, and a cold chill came from the soles of their feet.
Wu Xi took a deep breath. The smell of blood that made her both afraid and excited was getting stronger.
"You like this? This was not a place that ordinary people were willing to go to.”
"Thank you for the compliment. I didn't expect there to be such a dark place in the Hengguo estate. As expected, everyone has their own secrets.”
"Yeah, then what's your secret, Wuxi?”
She smiled at him." I have a lot of secrets that I can't let others see, but it depends on whether you have the ability to dig out the most valuable parts.”
After saying that, Wu Xi shut her mouth and followed Murong Jianhua without saying a word. Like a gentleman, she helped Murong Jianhua down the stairs step by step.
It was like a bottomless pit. The light source inside was a luminous pearl, but the walls could also glow. He did not know what material it was made of.
The tunnel was dark but not damp. It should be said that there was no humidity at all.
Wu Xi wiped her finger on the wall and licked it. She frowned and said,""It's phosphorous powder and a poison that will make one's body turn weak.”
"You're really bold. Take it."
Murong Jianhua tossed over a bottle of medicine, and Wu Xi immediately swallowed it.
Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you to death?"
"If you didn't give me the antidote and let me stay here, I would have died too. The tunnel is so dry, and a flammable substance like phosphorous powder can easily burn me to death in this tunnel. Tendon Softening Powder can make people unable to escape and burn them into dried corpses.”
"Hehe, it's not as scary as you say. Usually, people who suffocate to death are carried out. However, as far as I know, no one has been burned to death here.”
Was he hinting that no one had the guts to spy on this place? Then she was really honored to be invited to spy on this place openly.
They finally arrived at their destination after a series of twists and turns. They were probably more than a hundred meters underground, but the air was not oppressive at all.
He knocked on the stone and the door opened.
The light inside looked very natural. When Murong Jianhua entered, everyone stood on both sides and said in unison,""Hello, Third Young Master."
He nodded and said to Wu Xi,"These people are the men of sacrifice of the Hengguo Manor. This is Seventh Miss, Consort Yong."?”
"Hello, Miss."
They were uniformed. They were soldiers but not soldiers. They were killers but were more united than ordinary killers. Such people were often more difficult to deal with than simple killers or soldiers.
"Do you want to take a look?"
"Of course."
Murong Jianhua clapped his hands and brought Wu Xi to sit at the side. Immediately, two people walked out of the line and knelt on the ground.
"Suicide," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them broke their necks at the same time.
Wu Xi clenched her fists.
What kind of loyalty was this? She couldn't do it. Perhaps, facing Dong Fang Yi, she couldn't do it so straightforwardly, just to give up her life for some meaningless words.
