Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

"When I returned to the room just now, I always felt that something was wrong with Nangong today. Later I went to look for her in her yard and found that the lights in her room were still on, but the person was missing." Guan Yixuan said anxiously.

"Gone?" Jiang Ning recalled Nangong Yao's abnormality outside Baixiangyuan and guessed, "Did Nangong go to Baixiangyuan alone?"

"Baixiangyuan? Yes! It's probably Baixiangyuan. I remember Nangong said before that she came to Chuwu Academy to find a kind of medicinal flower. Could it be that Doctor He had the medicine she was looking for? Flower?!" Guan Yixuan said in shock.

"No wonder she wants Senior Brother Mei to hand over the evidence to the dean tomorrow morning. Without further ado, let's go find her!" Jiang Ning said to Guan Yixuan.

Then he turned to Qin Xiao in the room and said, "Mr. Qin, I have something important to do, so I won't accompany you. Also, please don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."

"What?" Before Qin Xiao could ask clearly, he saw Jiang Ning and Guan Yixuan leaving quickly.

"It seems to be a very important matter, otherwise these two people wouldn't be so anxious. I'd better not join in the fun."

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows, sat down and opened the book, ready to see what secrets Jiang Ning gave him.

But as soon as he turned to the first page, Qin Xiao's brows were twisted like a knot.

After turning back a few pages, Qin Xiao became angry and slammed the book on the table.

"Well, Jiang Ning, I told you everything, and you actually used a fake book to deal with me!"

Looking at the direction Jiang Ning and the two left, Qin Xiao couldn't suppress his anger and said, "Baixiangyuan, right."

After that, Qin Xiao squeezed into the night and chased in the direction of Baixiangyuan.

Jiang Ning and Guan Yixuan climbed over the wall and entered Baixiangyuan. The disciples whose cultivation had been sealed by their formations were still waiting here.

The two of them did not rush to alert the enemy, but hid outside the courtyard.

"Look, that window is broken!" Guan Yixuan pointed to a side window and whispered.

This window is in the blind spot of the field of view, and you really can't find it if you don't look carefully.

The two came to the window. The window that originally blocked the wind had long been shattered, and there were still some whip marks on the wall next to the window.

"This is the mark left by Nangong's whip." Guan Yixuan recognized it at a glance.

The two looked at each other, climbed through the window and entered the house, "Let's go."

Entering the house, there was no one inside. Through the cracks in the window, you could still see the disciples waiting outside.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, and it looks like an ordinary reception room.

Facing the door, there were two rows of chairs on both sides, with a small table for tea and snacks between each chair.

The main seat directly above also has the same table and chairs.

There is a wall behind the main seat with three paintings hanging on the wall.

Jiang Ning checked the paintings one by one and found nothing special.

"There should be a secret passage in this room." Guan Yixuan looked for the switch everywhere he could think of.

'System, can you find the secret passage? 'Jiang Ning asked.

【Let me try. 】

[There is a secret passage under the carpet directly in front of the reception room.The switch is on the window coffin of the second window to the left of the door. 】

Jiang Ning followed the system's instructions and came to the second window, stretched out his hand to touch the window coffin, and finally touched a small protrusion at the bottom of the window coffin.

Pressing down hard, the carpet suddenly sank. Guan Yixuan, who was lying on the carpet looking for a mechanism, jumped up in fright.

"What's wrong?" Guan Yixuan looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning pointed to the exposed secret passage, "This should be it."

"Awesome Jiang Ning, how did you find it?" Guan Yixuan checked almost everything in the house, but couldn't find the entrance.

"We'll talk about it later, it's important to find Nangong," Jiang Ning said.

"You're right, let's go." Guan Yixuan stopped worrying about the switch and turned his attention to the secret passage.

Jiang Ning and Guan Yixuan walked into the secret passage, and the sinking carpet gradually returned to its original position. However, at the last moment when it was completely closed, a figure followed the secret passage.

The secret passage is very short, and Jiang Ning and Guan Yixuan can see the fire at the end from where they stand.

At the end of the secret passage is a basement.

The basement is filled with shelves of herbal medicines, and a strong smell of herbs hits your face.

The fire they saw was the torch embedded in the wall for lighting.

"These herbs..." Guan Yixuan frowned slightly, "Most of them are poisonous weeds, and they are very valuable. There are so many here!"

"There is a door here." Jiang Ning found the door to the basement.

Gently pushing open a crack, I found another basement filled with shelves of herbs outside the door.

After confirming that no one was there, the two entered the second basement.

The herbs here are also poisonous weeds.

"Is the person who is respectfully called Dr. He by Zhuang Hong a poison master?" Guan Yixuan frowned.

If a doctor is a being who saves people's lives and is respected by everyone, then a poison master is a being who does harm to people and is despised by everyone.

Most poison masters only study poisons. Rather than treating illnesses and saving people, they prefer to watch others tortured to death by the poisons they made, even if the other party has no grievances against him.

"If he can make the fifth-level Honglin Powder, why is he hiding in this small junior martial arts academy?" Guan Yixuan asked doubtfully.

For a poison master with such ability, after leaving Chuwu Academy, there are many forces willing to recruit him.

"Maybe it has other purposes."

Jiang Ning opened another door. It was also a basement. One thing that was different from the previous two rooms was that there were no shelves for herbs. Instead, there were countless cages of different sizes.

When you get closer to these cages, you can see that they are filled with venomous snakes and scorpions.

The two didn't stay long and continued to push open the next door.

The next basement seemed much emptyer than the other basements.

There is nothing in this basement, only eight doors, and a spiral staircase leading to the ground in the middle.

Jiang Ning took a look and saw that behind the eight doors was the same basement, filled with poisons and medicinal materials.

"Zhuang Hong and the so-called Doctor He should be up here." Guan Yixuan looked at the stairs and said.

"Let's go."

The two stepped onto the stairs, and there was a faint smell of herbs coming from the exit.

Different from the previous herbal smell, this time the herb is also mixed with a bit of earth and grass.

When they reached the end of the stairs, an isolated courtyard appeared in their sight.

In front of them was a large herb field.

The lights were on in the small courtyard, and someone could vaguely hear voices inside.

"It's Zhuang Hong's voice." Guan Yixuan lowered his voice.

"Nangong should be nearby, let's look carefully."

The two searched around the courtyard in the dark, and finally found a room that looked like a warehouse.

Jiang Ning and Guan Yixuan pushed open the door and entered. Unexpectedly, there was someone lurking inside the house.

"Don't move." With the dagger pressed against his waist, a familiar female voice sounded behind the two of them.

Guan Yixuan hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Nangong, it's us, Jiang Ning and I."

Jiang Ning didn't explain, just took out the candle from the storage bag and lit it.
