Each world be

"I'm sorry, A Qing, I... I didn't mean to be mean to you." Every time I saw her, she smiled brightly.

Gu Xiao had never seen her cry, but now he made her cry.

He wiped away his tears at a loss, but found that the tears seemed to be free and kept flowing.

"Ah Qing, I'm just angry that you're so cold to me and don't tell me anything, as if I'm nothing in your eyes."

Gu Xiao held her in his arms and sighed softly: "I'm just too afraid that you will leave me."

The girl sobbed softly, hot tears slid down her cheeks and dripped into Gu Xiao's heart.

"A Qing, you are also fond of me, right?" Gu Xiao asked her carefully and softly, his eyes deep and fragile.

"Yeah." The girl lowered her head and was still crying, but she responded sullenly to Gu Xiao's passionate and careful love.

"Say it again." He looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

"I like you too, Gu Xiao." She raised her moist eyes and said seriously.

Gu Xiao's pupils dilated, and he picked up the girl with joy and spun her around, the goose yellow skirt blooming in the air.

"What are you doing? Put me down." Shi Qing was startled by his feet suddenly being lifted off the air and slapped him hard.

"A Qing, I'm just so happy!" Putting Shi Qing down, Gu Xiao smiled foolishly.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Qing laughed softly.

"By the way, don't you want to check the guard situation? You'd better go earlier and don't waste time." Fearing that he would delay things, Shi Qing had to remind him.

"I had already observed it when I came here." Gu Xiao looked at her without blinking, his eyebrows always raised, showing the master's pleasure.

"Time is running out, take Miss Yin away quickly."

"A Qing, can you also leave late with us?" Gu Xiao looked at her seriously.

She shook her head gently: "Gu Xiao, I can't leave yet."

"Why!" Gu Xiao's face suddenly darkened, "Are you threatened by Lin Yan?"

"That's not the case, Gu Xiao. I still have one thing to do, and I must finish it before I can leave with peace of mind."

"What is it? I'll wait for you to finish, and then we'll leave together." He suggested seriously, frowning.

Seeing his serious expression, Shi Qing immediately refuted his suggestion: "No! Gu Xiao, listen to me, Shen Yan is not here now, Miss Yin can't protect herself, you have to seize the opportunity to take her away first. I am a member of the Demon Cult, Shen Yan will not do anything to me."

"Shen Yan? Is he the leader of the Demon Cult?" Gu Xiao pondered the name carefully and suddenly realized.

"Yeah." Shi Qing nodded, "So, you guys should leave now. If Shen Yan comes back, none of us will be able to leave."

"Ah Qing, I can promise you. But after sending Yin Xinyue away, I will wait for you at the post station in the suburbs. No matter whether you have done what you want to do or not, you must come. If you don't come after three days, I will come to find you."

"I see."

Three days should be enough. After hesitating for a moment, Shi Qing agreed to him.

"A Qing, I'll wait for you." After looking at her deeply, Gu Xiao turned around and returned the same way.

Watching the bright yellow corner of the clothes disappear around the corner of the corridor, Shi Qing immediately turned around and left.

She had to find the secret book quickly.

After some twists and turns, Shi Qing finally found a courtyard with a plaque engraved with "Xiangzhuyuan" in the southwest direction.

It was indeed Xiangzhu Garden. As we walked along, we saw small blue bridges and thin bamboos dotting the water, which was extremely elegant.

She walked quickly into the yard, chose the room in the middle, and pushed open the door with her bare hands.

I don’t know if the governor has been busy all this time and hasn’t sent any servants over, but the room was filled with a smell of dust.

Looking around, the screen is used to cover the inner room, and some very common furniture is placed in the outer room.

A square table, a huge pottery vase, some chairs, two cabinets, and a writing desk with the four treasures of the study on it.

A thin layer of dust had already formed.

After trying to turn and move some objects around, there was no sign of any secret passage.

Shi Qing walked into the inner room again and repeated the action.

When Shi Qing tried to move an animal-shaped ornament, he suddenly felt it was extremely heavy and difficult.

I suddenly thought that this was it.

Using all his strength, he slowly turned it clockwise. The wardrobe behind him slowly opened, and a downward passage appeared.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shi Qing walked down step by step cautiously, fearing that he would trigger some mechanism.

This secret passage leads to an empty underground tunnel. Along the way, we didn't encounter any traps or mechanisms.

After turning a corner, there was a fork in the road ahead, one to the left and one to the right.

Shi Qing, who had no idea what to do, randomly chose a stone path to the right.

The passage remains smooth and waveless.

After a long time, I saw a stone gate blocking the way not far ahead.

Shi Qing's nervous expression relaxed.

Obstacles are always better than none, which proves that there is a high probability that her path is correct.

I came to the stone gate and tried to push it, but it was of no use.

"The mechanisms of this type of doors are usually on the wall." Shi Qing muttered to himself, groping on the wall inch by inch.

Sure enough, the wall under his hand had a noticeable protrusion compared to the surrounding area. With an idea in mind, he pressed down lightly.

"Boom——"

The stone door made a heavy sound and slowly opened from the middle. Behind the stone door was a relatively spacious stone chamber.

He walked in, and the stone door behind him slowly closed again.

There was a conspicuous box placed at the end of the spacious stone chamber in front. Shi Qing's eyes lit up, and just after he took four or five steps forward, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and two arrows flew over from the upper left and right.

Shi Qing quickly stepped back, and there were two more arrows where she had just stood.

He looked around warily and continued forward.

Suddenly, a sky full of arrows flew towards her.

"Meow!"

Shi Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide and ran to the side quickly.

While running, he took off his goose yellow coat, twisted it into a strand, and mobilized his internal strength to use the clothes to block the arrows one by one.

After a while, the stone chamber was littered with arrow feathers and became quiet again.

"I was scared to death!" Shi Qing panted, with a thin layer of sweat on his white forehead.

[Host, you haven't exercised for too long. The original owner's good skills are wasted. You see, Shen Yi was originally on par with Lin Qing, but now I guess you can't beat him.] The system complained to her.

Shi Qing was not convinced and groaned: [System, don’t talk without any hesitation. I am lucky that I can still use one third of her power.]

After remaining silent for a while, Shi Qing looked at the clothes in his hands.

Very good, it is too wrinkled and tattered to be worn anymore.

It’s better to keep it in hand just in case, in case it may be useful later.

Thinking of this, she walked forward and suddenly stepped on a loose slab.

Suddenly, a cloud of white powder poured down on his head.

Although he jumped to the side quickly, he still got some of it on him.

It's white, has a strange smell, and doesn't look poisonous.

Shi Qing casually brushed off the powder on his body, walked forward, and finally got the box.

The box was made of simple wood, with an iron lock on the outside, but it was not locked.

He thought it was strange, but it took him a long time to get here just now, so Shi Qing just opened his hands.

"what!"
