Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tong Yujie stared at Xu Yongshan like a poisonous snake. “Where is Godfather now?”

At this moment, Tong Yujie was too ruthless. Xu Yongshan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, “He went to see the Lord of the Northern Border.”

A cold light flashed, and a red line appeared on his neck. Xu Yongshan’s expression was forever fixed at this moment.

Tong Yujie threw Xu Yongshan away like he was throwing trash. Then, he turned around and walked towards Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. “Let’s go to Wan Zhilin’s residence immediately.”

Tang Jinghong glanced at Xu Yongshan and nodded. “Let’s go.”

Under Tong Yujie’s lead, the three of them came to the wall on the right of Wan Zhilin’s residence.

On the way here, Tong Yujie told the two of them about the traps and guards in Wan Zhilin’s residence. “We have to pay attention to the traps.”

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong nodded and flew into the residence. They avoided the guards and went straight to the study.

Usually, if there was a secret room with mechanisms, everyone liked to set up the entrance in the study.

After the three of them entered the study, they split up and searched.

Chu Qingzhi released her divine sense to envelop the entire study, not letting go of any space. Soon, she discovered a mechanism.

There was a bulge at the bottom of the pen box on the desk. She walked over and reached out to press the bulge down.

In the next second, the bookshelf split in the middle and moved sideways, revealing a door.

When Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie heard the sound, they immediately stopped searching and turned around. A trace of surprise flashed across their eyes. This was too fast. How did she find it?

Without hesitation, the two of them immediately walked towards the secret room.

Chu Qingzhi walked in first and her eyes immediately lit up.

This stone room was not a water prison, but a secret vault. The gold bricks were neatly placed in the room, emitting a golden light. It was impossible to tell how many there were, but this stone room, which was about 50 square meters, was almost filled.

Tong Yujie sneered. “Wan Zhilin has only worked for the Lord of the Northern Border for about ten years, but he actually saved so much gold.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the room full of gold and thought to himself, No wonder the Lord of the Northern Border can recruit so many people to work for him.

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze swept across the gold. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen money before, but this was the first time she had seen so much gold. She was a little shocked. “Wan Zhilin probably won’t spend the gold here. Let’s come back in the future.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes reflected the golden light and looked especially deep. “Let’s go. Saving life is more important.”

Chu Qingzhi pressed another bulge and restored the bookshelf. Then, the three of them left the study and went to Wan Zhilin’s room.

There was also a secret room in the room, but this secret room was more like a study. There were many confidential documents and information related to the assassins. In short, this was a secret room used to deal with things that couldn’t be exposed.

Tang Jinghong rummaged through the things on the table. After taking a rough look, he put them back. It wasn’t something useful to them.

The three left the room.

They had searched all the key places, but there were no signs of the water prison. The three of them had no choice but to expand their search area.

However, this was not to say that they would search every nook and corner. Places like the garden where there wouldn’t have a secret room would be skipped.

The three of them split up. One of them searched the other rooms, one searched in the rockery, and the other searched other places.

Chu Qingzhi was feeling around the rockery when she suddenly heard footsteps. She stood on the spot and did not move while sending out her divine sense.

A man in black on the other side of the rockery was looking in her direction with a sword in his hand.

From the way he dressed, he was definitely not a guard in the residence. He should be like them, an outsider.

Chu Qingzhi flashed and arrived behind the man in black. She knocked him out with her hand and dragged him to the lush bamboo forest at the side.

She threw him to the ground and condensed a small ball of light on her index finger. When she touched the man in black’s forehead, he woke up.

The man in black reacted very quickly. When he opened his eyes, he understood his situation. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He stared at Chu Qingzhi, his eyes filled with scrutiny and hostility.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi was not in her original appearance. She looked like an ordinary young man in white. “Who are you? Why are you here?”

The man in black struggled to keep his mouth shut but failed. “I’m a secret guard of An Huai Kingdom. I’m here to look for our princess’s personal maid.” “Your princess’s personal maid was captured by Wan Zhilin?” Chu Qingzhi was really surprised.

“I’m not sure, but it’s very likely.” The man in black dug his fingers into the soil. Why couldn’t he control himself from speaking?

Chu Qingzhi asked again, “Why did Wan Zhilin capture your princess’s maid?”

The man in black dug his fingers into his palm as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. “The palace maid has a secret letter in her hand. We want to take it back.”

“Secret letter?” Chu Qingzhi’s interest was piqued. “To who and from who?”

“From our king to the Lord of the Northern Border.”

“How did this secret letter end up in the hands of a maid?”

“I don’t know.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment before knocking the man in black out again. This matter did not sound simple. She would ask him later. It was more important to find the water prison first.

She stood up and cast an illusion on the bamboo forest. Under the illusion, everyone could only see ordinary bamboo and could not see the man in black.

“Water prison, water prison…” After wandering around the rockery, Chu Qingzhi still couldn’t find it. He was a little impressed that Wan Zhilin could hide it so well.

There was nothing unusual about the rockery. Chu Qingzhi walked to the lake.

“The water prison should be related to water, right?” With this thought in mind, Chu Qingzhi flew to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Standing there, she released her divine sense again and enveloped the entire lake.

Large patches of green lotus leaves floated on the lake. As the breeze blew, the dew on the lotus leaves kept rolling around. The scene was very vivid.

Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi looked at the ground she was stepping on. Then, her gaze moved back and landed on a stone stool. “A mechanism?”

She walked over, hugged the stone stool, and spun it to the left. It really could spin. She stopped and sent a voice transmission to Tang Jinghong and Tong Yujie, asking them to rush over at once.

The two of them flew over like two eagles in the night.

“Qingzhi!”

Chu Qingzhi pointed at the stone stool. “This is the switch to the water prison.”

Tang Jinghong tried to move the stone stool and spun it to the left. At the same time, the stone table moved back a distance, revealing a black rectangular entrance on the ground. The entrance could allow one person to pass at a time.

They could see the steps in the entrance through the moonlight, but they couldn’t see anything below.

“Let’s go.” Tong Yujie was overjoyed and was the first to enter.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong followed him in..
