After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

When Song Ci'an came in, he didn't see anyone.

This is strange.

Xie Xing turned his head and stared at the passageway ahead.

The passageways here are interconnected; they may seem like just two paths, but they are actually quite winding and complex.

Moreover, since Song Ci'an was the last to enter, yet he managed to run into Xie Xing, who was the first to enter, without encountering anyone else in between, Xie Xing felt that something was amiss.

"Could this be a formation?" the system asked.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xing asked, "Really?"

The system said: [Otherwise, something as important as the Tianshan Snow Lotus would only have a few guards outside, yet there wouldn't be a single guard or mechanism inside. Either it's an array, or the Tianshan Snow Lotus isn't inside at all.]

Song Ci'an and Xie Xing listened to the system's words and looked at the passageway again.

The more I think about it, the more this is true.

However, since Xie Xing and his group were present in the passageway, as were Luo Hanfeng and his group, Xie Xing dared not speak loudly, lest he attract the attention of Luo Hanfeng and his companions.

Xie Xing turned to Song Ci'an and said, "Second Brother, I suspect there might be a formation here. Let's explore it and see if we encounter any other people."

Song Ci'an had already heard about it.

He asked, "What is the Tian Shan snow lotus you're looking for?"

Xie Xing said, "The Heavenly Snow Lotus is a precious medicinal herb that can cure all poisons and prolong life. The Fifth Prince of the Southern Kingdom wants it to cure his mother's illness, and the Ghost King wants it to heal his own wounds. I want it..."

Xie Xing paused for a moment after saying this.

"Hmm?" Song Ci'an waited for him to continue.

Xie Xing, however, did not wish to say anything more.

Regardless, she must obtain the Tianshan Snow Lotus now.

The two continued walking forward along this road.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the stones outside the passageway were slowly shifting, making the path increasingly unpredictable and treacherous.

the other side.

Jun Lanjin clutched his chest and staggered through the passageway.

He fought with Luo Hanfeng for a while, and after seeing Xie Xing enter through the tunnel, he didn't want to get entangled with Luo Hanfeng any longer, so he ran into the tunnel. However, even though he was clearly going down the same path as Xie Xing, he couldn't catch up with Xie Xing no matter what.

It's so weird.

Jun Lanjin continued walking forward and bumped into Luo Hanfeng's subordinates at the fork in the passageway.

The two looked at each other.

Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes, and finally chuckled softly, "Oh? You've come at the perfect time."

After a moment, Jun Lanjin put on the clothes of a Yama Palace assassin, disguised himself as a Yama Palace assassin, and slowly walked forward.

Another fork in the road.

This time, Jun Lanjin encountered a familiar figure.

This person is Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng walked out of the passageway with a cold face. The moment he saw Jun Lanjin, he raised his hand and launched a hidden weapon at Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin narrowly avoided the attack and said to Luo Hanfeng in a low voice, "Palace Master! It's me!"

Luo Hanfeng paused, glanced at Jun Lanjin from head to toe, and finally withdrew his hand, asking in a cold voice, "Did you encounter anyone when you came here?"

Luo Hanfeng found it strange. He had clearly entered the same passageway that Jun Lanjin and Xie Xing had gone through. Logically, he should have caught up with them quickly. However, he did not expect that the passageway was complex and had multiple forks in the road. Sometimes, he would take the wrong path and end up back in the same passageway.

Luo Hanfeng was so angry he laughed.

Jun Lanjin looked up at him and said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, no."

Luo Hanfeng turned to look at the two forks in the road behind him and said, "We must have entered some kind of formation."

"Let's keep walking and see if we can get out."

Otherwise, we would truly be trapped and die within this formation.

"Yes." Jun Lanjin smiled and followed Luo Hanfeng leisurely.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

Luo Hanfeng was not one to talk to his subordinates, and Jun Lanjin was, after all, just pretending. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply kept quiet.

After walking for a while, we came to another fork in the road.

Luo Hanfeng stared at the fork in the road, about to speak, when he heard footsteps coming from inside.

Luo Hanfeng's lips curled slightly. He turned to look at Jun Lanjin and said, "Go hide at the other fork in the road."

Jun Lanjin glanced at the fork in the road where the sound came from, thought for a moment, listened to Luo Hanfeng's words, and went to another fork in the road to hide.

After a while, sounds finally came from inside.

"Why is there another fork in the road here? It seems like we've been here before?" It was Xie Yuze's voice.

"Which way?" That was Xie Xing's voice.

Song Ci'an said, "It doesn't matter which way we go, the problem now is that these passageways are narrow. If we encounter the Ghost King, that would be fine, but I'm afraid we'll run into Luo Hanfeng."

"Why would he suddenly appear here?" Xie Yuze wondered.

Song Ci'an said, "It's probably because if this drags on, the Southern Kingdom will eventually collapse. Luo Hanfeng probably wants to come in first to check the situation."

“If he were just that useless seventh prince, this battle would be really difficult, but if he were the Lord of the Underworld, this battle wouldn’t be difficult.”

"Hmph!" Xie Yuze sneered, "You're giving him far too much credit."

In her past life, if it weren't for this good-for-nothing misjudging the enemy's situation, Xie Tongchen wouldn't have been surrounded while trying to save him. In the end, Xie Mingzhu chose to save Luo Hanfeng and abandoned Xie Tongchen.

Xie Tongchen died a completely unjust death.

"That good-for-nothing is too confident. He thinks that with some power he can control the world. In reality, he's just lucky!"

Xie Xing glanced at him.

She felt that Xie Yuze really seemed different.

Song Ci'an had no friendly attitude towards the Xie family. Upon hearing this, he sneered, "What, you Xie family think you're so smart?"

"They don't dote on their biological daughter, but they spoil their adopted daughter. What happened in the end? They raised an ungrateful child."

Song Ci'an practically pressed his face against Xie Yuze's to mock him.

Xie Yuze: "..."

His face turned pale and then red.

That's right.

It's as if your Song family is very good at raising daughters.

The daughter they raised caused a huge mess, and anyone who dared to provoke her was either cleaning up her mess or on their way to do so.

The words were on the tip of Xie Yuze's tongue, but he paused after glancing at Xie Xing, who had a pair of clear, round eyes that looked at him and then at Song Ci'an.

Forget it.

That younger sister was, after all, her sister from a previous life.

This younger sister in this life...

They're so well-behaved, and so pitiful.

Even though they did nothing wrong, they were targeted by the Xie family.

He was a little embarrassed.

Compared to her ancestors in her previous life, this one is practically an obedient girl.

Forget it.

Xie Yuze sighed inwardly and was about to speak when Xie Xing suddenly exclaimed, almost scaring Xie Yuze to death.

"what!"
