The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Chapter 55: Killing a Mortal Woman (14)

The days in Xuanhuang Mansion were not as difficult as she had expected.

She was no longer as fearful of being discovered as before, nor did she feel the increased reluctance she had originally thought.

On the contrary, Muji has been very busy lately.

He rarely stayed in the mansion, and most of the time he had to visit various sects to discuss matters.

On this day, Shi Yue came back from her free medical consultation as usual. However, due to the strict management in the mansion, it was not as convenient as before, so the time for her free medical consultation was limited.

When she entered the mansion, she happened to see a man coming out of a carriage. But she glanced at him casually and made eye contact with him for a short while.

Shi Yue turned around quickly and walked quickly into the yard.

He was the owner of the key that was stolen from the brothel that day.

What should I do? This person must be Mu Zhen's guest. I don't know if he recognized her in that brief moment just now. He must have been drunk that night, so he wouldn't remember it very clearly.

At this moment, the bell that she always carried with her rang. She picked it up for the first time and spoke to the person on the other end.

"Muji, the man from the brothel that night is here. I glanced at him when I returned home just now. I wonder if he recognized me."

Muji was a little flattered at first that she actually responded to him. But after hearing her words, he straightened his face and made a prompt decision, "Go to my study now. My people are guarding there. Even if they want to arrest you, they can't get in easily."

"Okay." She quickly ran to the study. When she reached the door, the person guarding it saw that it was her and did not stop her.

"Miss Shi."

She nodded, went in, and heard the communication bell ringing again.

"Shi Yue, have you reached the study?" The person on the other end spoke quickly and urgently, as if he was afraid of affecting her speed.

She held it to her ear, "They've already come in. What should I do now? Should I just sit here? They haven't come yet."

"You stay in the study first. Don't come out until I come back." He also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not caught halfway, which would have been difficult.

"Who are you? No one is allowed to enter the clan leader's study."

Just when I felt relieved, I heard noise outside.

"We are following the order of the Sect Master to invite Miss Shi to have a talk. Miss Shi, did you hear me? Come out, we have to go into the Sect Master's study."

Shi Yue didn't dare to say anything, and the guards at the door obviously wouldn't let anyone in.

"In that case, we won't be polite."

The two sides started fighting without saying a word.

"Shi Yue, Shi Yue? How are you now?"

She thought he was busy with his own things, but she didn't expect that he was still paying attention to her all the time.

"There's a fight outside." She had been very calm, but now she had something to think about.

"How many have come?"

"I can't see clearly, maybe a dozen or so. What should I do? Will they rush in?"

There were only two people at the door, so it was inevitable that they would rush in.

"Shi Yue, don't be afraid. The door of the study is special and cannot be opened easily. Sit further away and don't get close to the door frame." His tone was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning. "I'm already rushing back. Don't be afraid. I will definitely come back."

The two guards outside should have been dealt with, as the door was being banged against violently.

"They're banging on the door. It's shaky. I, I'm still so scared."

Her voice was trembling. He had never seen her so flustered.

After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said, "Shi Yue, don't be afraid. Go to the desk and look under it. There is a button. See? It's black."

"Yeah, I saw it."

She didn't even realize there was such a mechanism here.

"Press it."

After pressing it, the wall on the left suddenly split in the middle, and a square hole appeared in front of him.

"I came out, and it was a cave. It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything."

"It's okay. Just keep walking along the wall and you'll see the light soon."

"Okay, I'll listen to you and come in. Ah, the door closed automatically." After taking a few steps, the door behind him closed heavily.

Muji comforted her, "It's okay, that's how it is. Take a few steps forward and see if you see any light."

"Yeah, I saw it."

"Okay, Shi Yue, follow the light. It's a secret room. Stay there and I'll be back soon. Don't worry. No one knows where you are except me now."

"Well, I'll wait for you, Muji."

At this time, Shi Yue began to carefully observe everything here.

It was very empty, and at first glance, there seemed to be nothing. But she knocked on the wall and found that it was a little empty, so there must be a compartment inside. She looked around to see if there was a button to open it.

Finally, I saw it in a corner. It was something that looked like rubble. I couldn't move it, so I pressed it down.

"昘——"

How to describe what she saw? A whole wall was shining with gold. She took a quick look at everything she could reach and saw gold, silver, jewelry, as well as exquisite weapons and jade.

All in all, it's like a treasure trove.

Why did Muji build such a place? Would he also be confused about the threat to his life? And these things, he hid here, just like a bandit who was ready to run away at any time.

After restoring these things to their original state, he found an open space, spread the towel on the ground, and sat down with his knees hugged.

After Mu Ji dealt with the miscellaneous people at the door, he left Liu Feng and the others to guard the door and went into the secret room himself.

As soon as I came in, I saw Shi Yue leaning against the corner, huddled up in a pitiful state.

"Shi Yue," he walked over and squatted down.

"Isn't the ground cold? Why don't you sit on a stool?"

As he said this, he was about to reach out and help her up.

"I dare not. It looks like the mechanism here could be triggered accidentally. I thought that if I sit on the ground, nothing will happen." His voice was muffled, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

After hearing her explanation, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Oh, Shi Yue, you are always so aggressive in front of me, why are you so timid now?"

The more I looked at it, the more curious it became. I touched its head and poked its face. Eh? Its little face was cold. It must have been scared.

He picked her up, wiped the stool with his clothes, and let her sit on it.

I sat beside her, facing her, and put my hands on her face, rubbing it back and forth. After a while, her face finally became a little rosy.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

Seeing that she had finally come back to her senses, he thought about the situation and felt that she might have something to ask.

She shook her head. "If I ask, will you kill to silence me?"

"No," he scratched her nose with amusement, "You are so heartless. I let you in because I want you to live well. How could I come here to kill you?"

He looked into her eyes, speaking with great force.

"This is the last escape route I left for myself."
