After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life
Chapter 457 Ye Zhao
Qing Ning carefully groped around the room, trying to find the mysterious switch. Her fingers gently touched every inch of the wall and floor, silently expecting to find something.
Finally, Huangtian paid off! When her hand accidentally touched a hidden corner, the wall behind her slowly started to rotate. Then, a hidden door quietly appeared behind her.
"It looks like this is it!" Qing Ning whispered secretly, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. She took a deep breath and walked quietly through the door. However, the moment she stepped in, the wall behind her quickly flipped back to its original position as if by magic, closing the door tightly as if it had never existed.
The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness. Qing Ning couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down. She guessed that there must be some secret hidden in this secret room.
It was so dark that even time and space seemed to have frozen. Qing Ning took a deep breath and took out a crystal clear night pearl from the space. This luminous pearl was as big as a fist, emitting soft and bright light, instantly illuminating the entire secret room.
Although the luminous pearl is not a rare thing in the world of immortal cultivators, for mortals, it is a priceless treasure. However, for the well-informed Qing Ning, such treasures are not really unusual.
Qing Ning held the luminous pearl and walked forward slowly. The radiance of the night pearl was barely able to illuminate the road not far ahead of her, making the surrounding darkness seem even deeper and more mysterious.
The secret room was not large, and it didn't take long for Qing Ning to reach the end. The sight in front of her made her gasp - a figure was tightly tied to the wall with thick chains, his face was haggard and embarrassed, his whole body was covered with large and small wounds, the blood had long dried, and the knots into patches of dark red blood scabs.
The man on the wall seemed to have been here for a long time. The sudden stimulation by such strong light made him narrow his eyes involuntarily.
After a short and difficult adaptation period, he could barely see the face of the person in front of him - she turned out to be a breathtakingly beautiful woman who could be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world!
I heard a low and hoarse cough: "Cough cough cough...who are you? How did you come to this place?"
It can be inferred from the unusually hoarse voice that this person must have been imprisoned here for a long time.
Faced with the questioning, Qing Ning remained calm and composed. She lightly opened her lips and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but I really want to know why you are being held here."
There was a slight change in the other party's expression, and he seemed to be a little hesitant. There was a strong impulse in his heart, and he wanted to tell the person in front of him why he was trapped here, and ask her to lead him out of this predicament.
However, when his eyes fell on the other party, he couldn't help but have doubts. I saw that the woman was petite and exquisite, and her standing posture seemed quite casual and comfortable. She could not feel the slightest fluctuation of internal energy in her whole body. Maybe she just broke into this place accidentally.
For an instant, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes that could not be concealed, but it was so fast that if Qing Ning hadn't been staring at him closely, it would have been difficult to detect this subtle change.
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I won't be able to help you escape?" Qing Ning keenly caught the disappointment in his eyes and asked softly.
"Little girl, if you broke in here by mistake, leave quickly before anyone notices it. The person who imprisoned me is an extremely skilled person. With your ability, you are definitely no match for him, let alone rescue me. ." The man looked at the girl in front of him calmly, his tone was firm and sincere, and he seemed not to want to implicate this innocent person because of himself.
However, Qing Ning ignored the man's advice. She walked straight to the trapped man, her eyes tightly locked on the thick chain that bound him. He stretched out his slender hand, carefully touched the chain, and then tried to pull it with a little more force, but the chain did not move at all.
"Don't waste any more effort. This chain is made of thousands of years of cold iron. It is extremely strong and can only be opened with the corresponding key. Even the sharpest sword or the strongest internal force in the world can't be used. Break it or tear it off." The man shook his head helplessly and continued to persuade Qing Ning to give up the useless attempt.
Qing Ning slowly raised her head, with a faint smile on her lips, and looked at the man in front of her calmly. Just when the man thought this seemingly weak little girl was about to give up, something unexpected happened.
The girl gently stretched out her hands, as delicate and smooth as white jade, and tightly held both ends of the chain. Her expression became extremely focused and serious, as if all the strength in her body was concentrated on these small hands. Then, she exerted a little force, and heard a crisp "click" sound, and the originally indestructible chain broke like paper!
The man opened his mouth in shock, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He stared at the girl's hand with wide eyes, thinking to himself: How is this possible? How could such a pair of slender and frail hands have such amazing power to break that extremely strong chain with such ease!
"This, this, this..." The man was stunned, too shocked to even utter a complete sentence.
Qing Ning turned a blind eye to the man's surprise. Her slender hands effortlessly grabbed another chain, followed the same pattern, and pulled it sharply. There was a crisp "click" sound, and the extremely strong chain shattered!
"Pah!" The crisp cracking sound echoed in the air, as if it was a mockery and break of restraint.
"Now you can take your hands out, you are free." Qing Ning said softly with a smile.
The man slowly stretched out his hand as if waking up from a dream, but his eyes remained on the broken chain on the ground. Unbelievable emotions filled his heart, so he squatted down, picked up half of the chain, held it tightly, and pulled with all his strength, but the chain was as stable as a mountain and did not move at all. Unwilling to be reconciled, he tried again, but no matter how hard he tried, the chain remained indestructible.
At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the slim girl in front of him, his eyes full of surprise and confusion. He never imagined that such a delicate and beautiful woman could have such amazing power.
Qing Ning watched the changing expression on his face with great interest. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, but she quickly restrained herself because she knew that there were more important things to deal with at the moment.
"Okay, now you should tell me the truth, right? Why are you imprisoned here? Could it be the fault of the city lord of Panlong City? And why did he do this?" Qing Ning threw out all the questions A series of questions, eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
After hearing this, the man came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. When he looked at the girl with contempt at first, his eyes were completely different. He knew very well that since the woman in front of him had the ability to free himself from this prison, she also had the means to make his life worse than death. So, he answered without hesitation:
"My surname is Ye Mingzhao, and I am the eldest young master of the Ye family. I have been imprisoned for more than half a year. All because the city lord sent his men to kill all my Ye family members and imprison me here. His real purpose is to find To a mysterious treasure map."
Hearing this, Qing Ning suddenly became curious. She stared at the man with her beautiful eyes and asked, "So, has the treasure map been found?"
"Well... they have indeed found it. Now he is going to explore the whereabouts of the other treasure maps." The man answered truthfully.
"Late the night before yesterday, a tragic massacre befell the Zhuo family. The entire Zhuo family was wiped out with blood, and only the eldest son and second daughter of the Zhuo family managed to escape. However, the eldest son was seriously injured, and his life or death was uncertain; while the second daughter seemed to have disappeared from the world. To this day, There is no news. The goal of these murderers is obvious-to pursue the legendary treasure map."
With a heavy heart, Qing Ning told the man in front of her what had happened to the Zhuo family, fully expecting to get some valuable clues from him. However, when the man lowered his head slightly, Qing Ning noticed that his expression was not at all surprised by the tragedy of the Zhuo family.
"As long-standing aristocratic families in Panlong City, the Ye family and the Zhuo family have always guarded a secret. Rumor has it that an extremely precious treasure map was divided into three parts and carefully kept by these three families. Now that the Ye family has been destroyed, it must be expected that the Zhuo family and the Liu family will face such a fate," the man said calmly.
Qing Ning's eyes flashed with realization, which was similar to her guess. "Do you know anything else about the treasure map?"
After a moment of silence, the man replied: "I only know a little bit about the wealth contained in the treasure map and the reasons behind it. Some people say that it points to an endless treasure house filled with rare treasures; others firmly believe that it reveals He has discovered a source of power that can change the structure of the world... But what the truth is, I am afraid that the answer can only be revealed by finding the complete treasure map. "
Qing Ning nodded, agreeing with his idea.
"By the way, the city lord's wife seems to be named Liu. A few days ago, the city lord imprisoned his wife for some reasons. Presumably his purpose was also to find out the whereabouts of the thugs."
