There was no nervousness in her eyes when she encountered danger, only excitement and anticipation. As long as she obtained the item, she could go back. Right now, it was obvious that what she was looking for was here.
Her clear eyes were filled with joy as she glanced at the small arrow openings in the wall that returned to their original state. The arrows that had shot out and failed to hit anyone returned to the arrow openings on the opposite wall. The small arrow openings that had opened up on the wall returned to their original state before the mechanism was triggered. However, she stood there without moving and stared at the ground and her surroundings with vigilance.
Since there was a trap when she entered the cave dwelling, there would most probably also be a trap on the inside waiting for her. She had to take a look around first so as not to leave any traces that would make the old man wary. After all, she didn’t know if she would be able to find what she was looking for today.
After she had looked around carefully, she couldn’t help but pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she turned around and walked forward, some steps were wider and some steps were smaller, some steps were to the left and she passed over lightly. After she had familiarised herself, she came to the inner chamber.
Once inside, she found that it was a different world to the outside chamber. There was another door on the inner chamber of the cave dwelling, and behind that door was a cliff. When she saw the cliff on the other side of the door, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.
What was that old man doing putting a door here? This place was located at a high place and when the door was opened it was a cliff outside. It wasn’t like one could go out for a walk. The only thing that would make sense was for it to be used to escape.
Hmmm. Maybe the old man usually left through the back door instead of using the front door?
She tilted her head slightly and looked down the cliff. She could faintly hear the sound of water underneath the cliff. She withdrew her gaze and turned her attention to the inside of the cave dwelling. After she glanced around, she began her search.
As she couldn’t let anyone find out that she had been inside, she kept her rummaging to the minimum and tried her best not to make a mess of the furnishings inside, leaving no trace of rummaging.
However, after searching twice, she was still unable to find what she was looking for.
“Where did the old man hide it?”
She muttered softly as she crossed her arms and looked at the surrounding walls. She had searched the walls inside, tapping and touching them but hadn’t found anything. It was not a very big place, so where could it be hidden? Surely he wouldn’t be carrying it on him, would he?
On the other side, in the courtyard where Feng Jiu was staying.
After the man whose surname was He came back, he lay down for a while. However, he tossed and turned but was unable to fall asleep. At that moment, he jumped up from the bed and sat on the bed cross-legged as he thought about who could have infiltrated the Sect.
As he was on his own and wanted to speak to someone, he put on his clothes and walked outside to the courtyard: “Junior Brother Ruan? Junior Brother
Ruan, are you asleep?”
There was no reply from Feng Jiu’s room, as if no one was there.
After the man whose surname was He called out for a while and there was no reply, he couldn’t help but walk over to the room and stretched out his hand to knock on the door: “Junior Brother Ruan? Junior Brother Ruan?”
“I’m here.”
A weak voice drifted out from inside the room.
The man whose surname was He was startled when he heard this. He pushed the door open and walked inside. When he came into the room, he saw a person lying on the bed behind the curtain with only his head exposed under the quilt.
“Junior Brother Ruan, what’s wrong with you?” The man whose surname was He asked, staring at the person on the bed.
“I felt unwell after I got back. Is there something you needed me for, Senior Brother He?” The person on the bed asked.
When the man whose surname was He heard this, he stretched out his hand and lifted the bed curtain and glanced at the person on the bed. Then, he retracted his hand, letting the bed curtain fall back down and sneered..
