Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

The next morning, Shen Yuning got up early. When she opened the door, she saw that the yard was already very clean. She couldn't help but sigh at how efficient Cheng Jinchu's people were!

Cheng Jinchu has to go to the secret room today, so she can't take Shen Yuning with her. She found an excuse, saying that she has to deal with the remaining people who came to assassinate them, and asked Shen Yuning and Xiaochan to walk around in the temple and not to go out, otherwise there would be danger.

Of course, her people will protect them in secret.

Shen Yuning was afraid that she and Xiaochan were too weak and would cause trouble for Cheng Jinchu and the others, so she agreed immediately.

After watching Shen Yuning and the others leave, he took Yunzhi to the small courtyard closest to this one.

The monk who brought them here said that the courtyard was currently being renovated and was previously used as a residence.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but there is a house with a secret room leading to the underground.

Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi easily climbed over the wall and got in. The rooms inside were not locked, so Cheng Jinchu took Yunzhi into one of the rooms.

The room was very simple, with just a table, a bed and nothing else.

[Orange, scan the whole room! ]

The orange appeared in front of Cheng Jinchu, then it flew into the air and quickly scanned the entire room.

[At first glance, this room is very simple, and the mechanism is not difficult. I guess no one would have thought that there is an underground secret room in such a place. The mechanism is on the wall at the head of the bed, three fingers away from the bed. Try to find the wall brick that can be pressed.]

After hearing what Cheng Jinchu said, he pretended to look for the mechanism in the room. He looked to the east and the west. When he was about to press the mechanism at the bedside, he heard a sound and Yunzhi, who was lying on the bed, fell down.

Cheng Jinchu hurried down to check. When she jumped in, she found that it was not deep. Yunzhi had already climbed up and patted the dirt off her body.

"Master, I didn't expect that I would find it so quickly."

Cheng Jinchu smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect this either!

To be honest, Yunzhi has always been lucky.

Cheng Jinchu was envious. She thought of taking her with her when she went out in the future. She was lucky, so her luck would not be bad either!

"Master, look, there is a staircase over there that leads down."

Yunzhi took a tinder, blew it up, and it lit up.

There is a flashlight among Orange's tools recently, and Cheng Jinchu really wants to use it, but...

Forget it! I still need to spend time explaining...

They walked up about thirty stairs and then reached the end. The rest of the way was lit by torches, which extended all the way to a room.

Cheng Jinchu took Yunzhi and walked carefully to the outside of the room. The door was slightly ajar, leaving a gap through which one could see inside.

Through the crack, Cheng Jinchu saw the scene in the room. The room was bright and a man was standing with his back to her. Then, when he turned around, Cheng Jinchu saw a person she could never forget, the man wearing a red devil mask.

The man walked to the table, on which was laid a row of knives, big and small, of various sizes. He looked at the knives and took several of them in his hands to try out the feel of the knives.

Pick up, put down, pick up, put down...

"I am really satisfied with the knives I made this time. Take a look. Do you like them?"

When the man turned around and spoke, the bed behind him appeared in front of Cheng Jinchu. There was a woman tied to the bed.

Cheng Jinchu couldn't see what the woman looked like, but he could see from a distance that she was wearing a yellow dress.

"I'll ask you to heal my face."

The man picked up a knife, tried it on his hand, then walked to the woman with the knife and gently touched her face with the knife.

"Do you trust me so much? What if I accidentally ruin it and become uglier than it is now?"

The woman chuckled.

"You are Master Yi's disciple, how could you not be able to cure it? Everyone knows that Master Yi is actually the best doctor in the Medical Saint Palace. Even the previous Palace Master, his brother, was able to sit in that position because Master Yi didn't like being constrained.

As for Master Yi, everyone in the outside world knows that he only accepted one disciple. If you can't, I'm afraid I can only hope that I'll be lucky enough to meet your master and ask him to show mercy."

"Heh~"

The man turned around, walked to the table and put the knife down.

"Maybe he was better than me before, but I can't say for sure about the future. Who says the apprentice won't be better than the master?"

"Of course, you are young, and Master Yi has studied medicine longer than you. But for someone as talented as you, it is only a matter of time before you surpass your master."

The man hummed in satisfaction.

"Hey... you're like this now, I really can't do it. When I heal you, you have to repay me well~"

The man looked carefully at the other side of the woman's face that was not damaged. That face was definitely top-notch. He was willing to treat it because the other half of the face was too attractive and he could not find a reason to refuse.

Cheng Jinchu gestured to Yunzhi, meaning that they should leave here quietly.

Although Yunzhi was puzzled, according to her observation, the people in the house were not very skilled in martial arts and she could handle them by herself.

But since Cheng Jinchu wanted to leave, she just had to do as he said.

So, Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi left quietly. After they left, the man in the room breathed a sigh of relief. He did not notice the visitor at the beginning. It was after he finished talking to the woman that he inadvertently glanced at the corner of someone's clothes outside the crack.

He didn't dare to act rashly. After all, his martial arts skills were not very good. After the people outside left, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the stone door. If those people came again, the stone door could hold them off for a while, and he still had other exits.

When Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi returned to the courtyard where they lived, Shen Yuning and the others had not returned yet.

Cheng Jinchu returned to the room and lay down. She asked Yunzhi to leave her alone for a while.

After Yunzhi went out, Chengzi came out.

[Is Chuchu angry that Chengzi didn't let you in? ]

Cheng Jinchu shook his head.

[The mask was worn by the man, but not the person. He must have arranged for someone to be his stand-in. I just don’t know how many stand-ins he has.]

Orange nodded. The man with the red devil mask who appeared that day was very skilled in martial arts.

[The man saw me from behind and was so scared that he didn’t dare to move. I noticed it, so I told Yunzhi to leave.]

Chengzi was sitting on Cheng Jinchu's head at the time, looking inside, so he naturally noticed it.

[At the beginning, the target person appeared. She was the woman in the secret room. Her name was Zhang Huanuo and she was from the south.]

Cheng Jinchu sighed.

[It seems like I still have to go to the South? ]

Orange nodded!

[But don't worry. If Ning Jiao'er marries Xie Yu now that you're gone, all your previous efforts will be in vain.]

Cheng Jinchu was just about to discuss with Chengzi what he had just heard about Master Yi's disciples when Shen Yuning came back. She rushed in and when she saw Cheng Jinchu, her eyes lit up and she wanted to speak without even catching her breath.

"At first, I, you, you guess, guess, what did I see?"
