Mu Xiaoqiao was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't understand what Old Jing meant. But he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said very cooperatively: "But Old Jing, I just don't want to tell the surname Chen. They are bullying too much."
Chen Taihua looked at Old Jing suspiciously and asked, "Do you know the secret of the Dragon Chart?"
Old Jing laughed, "Of course they know. This is not a secret to me at all. I was the one who told these two people. Otherwise, they wouldn't know what the iron lump can be used for, right?"
Chen Taihua remembered that Chen Heng had reported to him before that Mu Xiaoqiao did not know the secret of the Dragon Soaring Map before, but later on, somehow, she suddenly knew it. In their inherent thinking, they thought that the Dragon Soaring Map originally belonged to the Mu family, and Mu Xiaoqiao must have found something left by her ancestors. They never thought that she would hear about it from someone else.
"Who are you?" Chen Taihua asked gloomily.
Old Jing casually pushed the gun pointed at him away and said with a smile: "My identity is not important. What is important is that you should have the attitude to ask for help. If you do this," he pointed at the people in the room, "we can't have a good talk."
Seeing that Chen Taihua was still thinking, Old Jing smiled again, "Or do you want me to tell you the secret you've been wanting to know in front of these people?"
After saying this, Chen Taihua no longer hesitated and waved his hand, "All of you get out."
The men were all very obedient and quickly walked out, with the last one even closing the door.
Chen Taihua took out a pistol from his waist and played with it, saying nonchalantly: "Everyone is out, can we talk now?"
"Let me tell you, what's in my favor?" Old Jing took another sip of tea, insisting that he was not in a hurry.
Chen Taihua smiled grimly upon hearing this, and turned the pistol in his hand again, "Is it a benefit to be able to save your life?"
"Well, forget it." Old Jing smiled bitterly, looked at Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao, and said, "The situation is stronger than people. You have seen it, and I have to say it. You should also think more positively. Secrets are dead, and people are alive. It's better than being dead, right?"
Mu Xiaoqiao turned her head away and said nothing. She knew that Mr. Jing must have a plan, but she didn't know what it was, so she could only keep silent to avoid saying the wrong thing.
Ruan Haoyu just nodded slightly and said nothing.
Chen Taihua looked at the attitudes of the three people and nodded with satisfaction. "He who knows the current situation is a hero. In this case, who of you has an opinion?"
He looked at Mu Xiaoqiao, and was quite looking forward to hearing the secret from Mu Xiaoqiao. After all, this was a secret passed down by the Mu family, and he did not quite believe that an outsider could know so much.
But seeing how confident Old Jing was, he couldn't help but believe it. He knew that Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao often came to see Old Jing. If this old man was not their relative, and they came and went so frequently, there must be something wrong.
Besides, what did Master Jing say just now? Are there other secrets? It doesn't matter, he will explore it slowly.
But Mu Xiaoqiao didn't even look at him, and turned his head to the side, obviously not intending to speak.
Old Jing sighed, stood up and said, "In that case, come with me. You two, keep watch on the door and don't run around, okay?"
In an instant, Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao both understood what Master Jing meant, and they felt relieved. It turned out that this was Master Jing's plan.
But Chen Taihua was obviously a cunning old man, and he was not so easily deceived. He asked cautiously: "Where are they going? Why don't you let them go?"
Old Jing pointed to another door in the room curiously and said, "I'll tell you inside. It's a secret, a secret. How can it be left here openly? Of course it has to be hidden. Besides, they've already been there, so why would they go again?"
Mu Xiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "Mr. Jing, if he doesn't want to go, don't let him go. Some people are just suspicious. If you don't tell him, he will force you to know with a gun. If you really want to tell him, he will doubt this and that. Just forget it if he doesn't want to go."
Chen Taihua's face was gloomy. He was not provoked by Mu Xiaoqiao's provocation. After thinking for a while, he suddenly pointed the gun at Mu Xiaoqiao again and said, "You, come with us."
Elder Jing and Ruan Haoyu said in unison: "No."
Ruan Haoyu did not forget what Old Jing said, that on the other side of the door was another time and space. Except for Old Jing who could travel through it freely, everyone else would never be able to get out once they entered.
But their reactions made Chen Taihua even more suspicious, and it also made him more determined. He put the gun to Mu Xiaoqiao's temple and said in a deep voice, "She must go. Don't test my patience. Otherwise, if any of you lose an arm or a leg, don't blame me."
After that, he shouted, "Come in."
The few people who had just gone out immediately pushed the door open, and several black gun muzzles were pointed at them again.
The three of them were at a loss. Ruan Haoyu was secretly anxious. Why hadn't Qi Nanfeng arrived yet?
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Chen Taihua pressed forward step by step and pointed another gun at Old Jing's head, forcing him to take a step to the side.
Mu Xiaoqiao looked at Ruan Haoyu and shook her head at him. They were outnumbered at the moment and could not win by force, but if they stepped through that door, they might never see each other again in this life. This decision was really difficult to make.
"Let the two of them stay, as well as your men, stay here. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that an old man like me will be a threat to you?"
Old Jing said this with disdain, but Chen Taihua was also an old fox. The more this happened, the more cautious he became. He would definitely not give up the secret, but he would not go in alone.
Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Taihua's patience had reached its limit. He suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot at the door, and a hole suddenly appeared on the wooden door.
Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden loud noise. Chen Taihua pointed the gun back at Mu Xiaoqiao's head and said solemnly, "I'll count to three. If you don't leave, the next shot will be at him."
He was referring to Ruan Haoyu. Right now on the field, the first person he could target would be Ruan Haoyu.
"three two…"
"I'll go with you." Mu Xiaoqiao made up her mind. This step might take her to another time and space. She would not die immediately, but she would never be able to come back. Fortunately, there was Old Jing. When she got there, she would deal with Chen Taihua and then work with Old Jing to find a solution.
Chen Taihua was satisfied. "If you make the decision sooner, you can come back and reunite sooner, right? It's not a life-and-death separation, don't act like you can't see each other anymore."
Mu Xiaoqiao smiled bitterly, but couldn't say anything, so she could only say, "Yes, I'm just going in for a while, and I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
She held Ruan Haoyu's hand soothingly, but her eyes were full of reluctance. Ruan Haoyu's heart was full of despair, but he could do nothing. He was also very clear about the current situation. Either die or live in another time and space. No matter what, there is always hope in life.
Finally, Ruan Haoyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you."
"No, I'll go." Mu Xiaoqiao immediately objected.
Ruan Haoyu just looked at Chen Taihua, "Let me go, aren't you afraid of fraud? If the two people who know the secret follow you in, once something goes wrong, you will never know the thing you have been thinking about in your life. Leaving her outside is also a way out for you."
"Ayu, what are you talking about?" Mu Xiaoqiao said anxiously, "You stay, I'll go. No one knows this better than me."
"Old Master Jing knows this very well. We can go together. You don't have to be afraid," Ruan Haoyu comforted Mu Xiaoqiao. "Before, you faced too much alone, and I couldn't be with you. This time, let me face it for you. Besides, we'll be out soon, right?"
Chen Taihua looked at the two of them suspiciously. Mu Xiaoqiao didn't dare to say anything more. If she said anything more, Chen Taihua might really become suspicious and refuse to go in, and then all her efforts would be in vain.
Old Jing coughed and said slowly: "I say, you two, why are you arguing about this? Old Master Chen is the patriarch of a clan after all. He won't break his promise and hurt people, right, Old Master Chen?"
What Old Jing said was very clever. Originally Chen Taihua was still wondering if there was some mechanism inside and was considering whether to go in. But after hearing what Old Jing said, he suddenly realized that the two of them were arguing because they were afraid that they would turn against him after he got the secret.
