Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Outside the wall are pine trees that no one has taken care of. Although they are wild, they basically grow straight and beautiful.

But there is still some difference between having someone take care of it and having no one take care of it.

However, on their way here, apart from the desolation along the way, there were no other dangers.

Seeing that some disciples in Maple Leaf Valley had revealed a relaxed expression, Lian Li frowned instead.

Along the way, the vegetation was so lush, but no animal movement was heard. Isn't this unusual enough to make them alert?

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Huizhou, Qu Tingquan, Captain Zheng, Zhou Yu and the two reliable seniors still looked serious, Lian Li would have suspected that he was being too sensitive.

Even if you can't hear any movement of larger animals, you should at least be able to hear some squirrels or something like that.

There are quite a few pine trees along the way.

"We came here without any problems." A disciple from Maple Leaf Valley said, "It's not as scary as we imagined."

Another disciple continued, "The last time people entered but could not leave was more than 20 years ago. Perhaps the people who were originally here have already left?"

Hearing this, Lian Li rolled his eyes quietly, not knowing what to say.

Hou Yuanpeng spoke up at this time: "The last time I came here, I only reached the halfway point of the mountain and didn't come up. I don't know what the situation is inside, but it was indeed a dangerous place decades ago. I hope everyone will not let down their guard."

Lian Li glanced at him and thought that Hou Yuanpeng had said something sensible, but it was probably just for show.

After all, people have already arrived at the door, and generally speaking they will not go back.

Of course, this is just what Hou Yuanpeng thinks, but Yun Huizhou and Lian Li really have no intention of going back.

A group of people stood at the entrance of the villa for a long time. Lian Li said, "We have been standing here for a quarter of an hour, aren't we going in?"

A disciple from Maple Leaf Valley replied, "It seems we didn't knock on the door. They probably don't know we're here."

Lian Li looked at him.

Although that disciple had little contact with Lian Li, he understood the meaning of Lian Li's eyes at this moment.

He paused, then walked forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Lian Li suddenly called out to him: "Why don't you wrap your hands with something and knock?"

The disciple was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you saying that the door is poisonous?"

Lian Li shrugged, "I don't know. I just think it's not a bad thing to be cautious. After all, when their extraordinary master was not around, they were able to prevent so many top-notch people from coming back and almost caused the extraordinary master to capsize. God knows if they used some shady means."

The disciple who was about to knock on the door heard this and realized that this was the case, but he always felt that Lian Li's words seemed strange.

But she didn't think much about it. She cut a piece of cloth from the hem of her clothes, held her hands with it, and then gently knocked on the door.

Zhou Yu subconsciously replied: "It should be an unfair method."

Lian Li waved his hand and said indifferently: "Oh, don't worry about these details. They are not serious people anyway."

Zhou Yu touched his neck and said nothing. He felt that Lian Li was doing it on purpose and was cursing him.

He glanced at Hou Yuanpeng secretly and found that Hou Yuanpeng's smile was a little fake, which made him more certain that Lian Li was cursing.

Those who cursed Fengling Villa were not serious people, and they were also cursing Hou Yuanpeng, who was involved with Fengling Villa, for not being a serious person.

The disciples of Maple Leaf Valley knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it, and there was no movement from inside.

Everyone present looked at Hou Yuanpeng. After all, he was the only one among all people who had been to this area. Although he himself said that he had never been here, Lian Li and the others certainly did not believe it. Zhou Yu and Senior Sister He and Senior Brother Ke from Maple Leaf Valley did not believe it either.

They were almost certain that Hou Yuanpeng was in collusion with Fengling Villa.

Hou Yuanpeng was fanning himself gently, seemingly in deep thought.

After a long while, he spoke: "I have been setting up business here for some years. I have never heard of anyone coming out of here, nor have I heard of anything happening. If it weren't for the servant telling me that Lady Zhang seemed to be heading this way, I would have almost forgotten about this place."

He stopped talking here.

Lian Li knew that he was waiting for someone to respond.

However, he didn't really want to support Hou Yuanpeng, so he just looked at Hou Yuanpeng without saying anything.

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, then took over the task of showing support.

"Is there no one inside? Will Senior Sister still be in there?"

Hou Yuanpeng shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I've heard from the residents of Wulian City that there are strange roars every full moon night. The roars sound like those of wild animals, but the voices sound like those of humans."

When Lian Li heard this, he realized something was wrong.

He and Yun Huizhou had previously asked the residents of Wulian City about this matter, but no resident had ever mentioned it.

This made him unsure for a moment whether this was true or not. Perhaps Hou Yuanpeng was afraid that they would think that no one was leaving, so he made it up.

He didn't think the residents were deliberately concealing the information because they had asked more than one person.

They asked more than ten people, but no one had mentioned this.

If one or two of them didn't mention it, it could be understood as forgetting, but if more than ten people didn't mention it, then it's definitely not forgetting.

Of course, it is possible that this really happened, but the residents never come here, let alone at night, so they don’t know about it.

This makes it seem that Hou Yuanpeng, who knew about this, is even more problematic.

Forget it. Anyway, he has already confirmed that Hou Yuanpeng has a problem, so adding a few more problems to him is not a big deal.

"Since no one opens the door, let's just go in directly." Yun Huizhou said.

The female disciple standing in front of the door of Maple Leaf Valley nodded, then raised her hand to push the door, but found that the door could not be opened and was locked from the inside.

Yun Huizhou walked over and motioned for her to move aside.

The female disciple didn't understand why, but she still walked away a little.

Then there was a flash of a knife, and through the door, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard, and the door trembled.

Yun Huizhou retracted the knife and raised his hand to push the door open.

This time, the door was finally opened.

Hou Yuanpeng looked at the damaged door and suddenly said, "In fact, with our abilities, wouldn't it be the same if we just climbed over the wall and went in?"

Yun Huizhou looked back at him and said, "Then Brother Hou, go climb over the wall and we'll go through the door."

Hou Yuanpeng stopped talking.

Yun Huizhou did not go in directly, but took a step back and then made a gesture of invitation to Hou Yuanpeng.

The meaning is very clear, let Hou Yuanpeng go first.
