49 Rong Chengyi

Rong Xuan’s expression changed instantly.

He shook off his sleepy expression and looked at Hua Lang with a clear face. A sneer even slowly appeared on his face. "You've been lying in the tomb for so many years, and you haven't damaged your brain. I thought you wouldn't find out about this until you arrived in Zhongzhou."

"Unfortunately, I never need smart people. Only idiots can be used by me... Wait, stop, what are you doing!!"

Hua Lang was filled with anger.

Since she came to this world, Mo Jinghong first took her as the target of his possession, then she was thrown into the pond by the dragon as Murong Jun, and finally, even after changing her identity, she was still teased by an eight-year-old child!

She is just a book-crosser who protects the main storyline!

Looking at the naughty kid who looked like he wanted a beating and kept chattering, Hua Lang couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed the bath towel next to her and wrapped herself around it, then grabbed Rong Xuan who looked arrogant.

Accompanied by a crisp sound: "Snap!"

Hua Lang asked with a sullen face, "What exactly is your purpose? Where exactly is this place?"

The mockery on Rong Xuan's face completely disappeared. His ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear what Hua Lang was saying at all. There was only one sentence in his mind -

He must kill her!

No one has ever dared to humiliate him like this in his life!

Seeing Rong Xuan didn't answer, Hua Lang decisively slapped him on the butt again, "Tell me, who are you working for?"

Rong Xuan's rationality was completely severed with the sound behind him, "snap"...

Hua Lang watched him for a long time without moving. He didn't seem to be refusing to yield, but rather like he had been knocked unconscious. But a child from the cultivation world shouldn't be so delicate. She had only spanked him a few times.

Hua Lang bent down and leaned over to look at Rong Xuan's face.

Rong Xuan's eyes were clearly open, but his face was expressionless, and his eyes had completely lost their light. Tears were dripping onto the ground. Hua Lang looked at the floor and saw two small puddles.

"Why are you crying? Does it hurt so much?" Hua Lang quietly hid the culprit "hand" behind his back.

Realizing that he was discovered in such an embarrassing situation, Rong Xuan froze all over, as if he was afraid that Hua Lang would take the opportunity to laugh at him. He suddenly broke free from her and ran away in panic.

"Yong Xuan!"

Hua Lang hurriedly changed his clothes and chased after him.

Before leaving, she looked back at the strange wall, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see any clues. Even when she touched it with her hand, she couldn't find any mystery.

The "Cloud Shuttle" has completely shed its disguise, and the winding corridor that it came from now has one exquisitely carved jade door after another.

Hua Lang finally understood why the bathroom in the room was so far away - it turned out that there were many other rooms in between, such as the study, piano room, and painting studio. Each room was spotlessly clean, and the dazzling array of jade carvings were placed in a very symmetrical manner.

Finally returning to the bedroom, she didn't see Rong Xuan. Hua Lang's eyes fell on the bedroom door, which had become more spacious and exquisite. The door was ajar with a small crack, which must have been opened by Rong Xuan.

She was the only one left in the empty house. Before Hua Lang could decide whether to stay or go out, there was a sudden movement in the corridor.

There was a gentle chanting sound, accompanied by the faint sound of footsteps, approaching the house...

Hua Lang soon made up her mind that the bathroom was the last room. If, as she expected, the walls here contained secrets and could rotate, then the answers to these puzzles must be outside the house!

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated. After taking down the horizontal bar from the clothes hanger to use as a weapon, Hua Lang pushed open the door.

A shadow had already quietly stopped in front of the door...

As the bedroom door was gently pushed open, a blank face instantly appeared on Hua Lang's face, and dense, inaudible whispers also penetrated into Hua Lang's mind!

Hua Lang's pupils trembled, and without any hesitation, he immediately used his demonic power to poke out the clothes that were almost heated by his grip.

The chanting sound disappeared instantly.

The faceless maid vanished into nothingness, and not far away, in the pure white corridor, faint footsteps were heard again, but the disturbing whispers finally disappeared.

This is obviously not a human.

Hua Lang looked up and scanned the corridor that was so white that there was not a speck of dust. Now, there was only one possibility.

This is a space similar to a sand city, and it is most likely owned by someone.

But there is still one unsolved question. Such a treasure is not mentioned at all in the original book, which is really strange.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Hua Lang hid back in the door and decided to observe the illusion again.

It was still a faceless waiter. She did not hesitate and stopped in front of Hualang's door.

Hua Lang held her breath and quietly adjusted her posture to ensure that if there was any unusual movement, she could instantly shatter the illusion.

But the waiter just knocked on the door politely, and then a voice came from her blank face.

"Dear guest, the bathroom seems dirty. Please allow me to go in and clean it."

Isn't the water in the bathroom automatically replaced?

But soon, Hua Lang remembered the thin dust on the ground again.

So, the bathroom was indeed dirty, but how did the waiter know that? Did Rong Xuan tell her?

"Do you know where Rong Xuan is?"

The waiter did not answer. Just when Hua Lang thought the phantom did not understand, a crack appeared on its blank face, and a voice rang out again:

"Guest, there is no one named Rong Xuan on the Wugui boat."

Hua Lang held on to the door frame. In this sentence, is there something wrong with the name Rong Xuan, or is there something wrong with the word "person"?

Inexplicably, she thought of the corpse inside the wall.

Although similar to her, he also looks very similar to Rong Xuan...

"Guest?" Hua Lang asked slowly, "Who is the owner of the Wugui Boat?"

The cracks on the waiter's face opened again, but no sound came out. Hua Lang asked again, but still got no answer.

It seems that it cannot say the name.

The faceless waiter repeated, "Sir, the bathroom seems dirty. Please allow me..."

Hua Lang still blocked the door and continued to ask, "Where is the owner of the Wugui Boat? As a guest, I should go and pay my respects to the owner."

Seeing Hua Lang blocking the door, the waiter remained silent for a while before pointing to the side of the long corridor, "Master, you are in the main hall now."

When Hua Lang's figure disappeared around the corner, the waiter who finally walked into the bedroom seemed to remember something and said to the air:

"The master is currently meeting another distinguished guest. He doesn't like to be disturbed at this time..."

There were several rooms symmetrically distributed on both sides of the corridor. Hua Lang pushed the doors one by one, but found that none of them moved.

I don’t know how long I walked. Just when Hua Lang was hesitating whether to turn back, he looked up and found that he had reached the end of the corridor.

At the end is a wide carved gate, plain white with intricate and exquisite carvings.

Unlike other symmetrical ornaments, one side of the gate is empty, and on the other side, there is a broken jade sculpture.

This jade carving is extremely large, and its outline does not look like a human figure. Unfortunately, it is too completely broken to make out its specific shape.

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Lang put her hand on the door, but a slight tremor suddenly came from the palm of her hand, making her almost want to retract her hand.

The vibration spread like ripples, becoming more and more intense, as if something was approaching her...

Is it outside the door?

Or inside the door?

The vibration suddenly stopped, and before Hua Lang had time to think, the extremely heavy door slowly opened.

A familiar face suddenly appeared before her.

"Junior Sister Hua, nice to meet you."

Hua Lang stared at that gentle and compassionate face, and after a while he withdrew his hand from the air, "Mr. Wu."

Is Wu Tingque the owner of the Wugui Boat?

Why did he target her? Did he want to use her to deal with the male protagonist?

Hua Lang couldn't guess his purpose, but she was sure that she couldn't offend Wu Tingque now.

Hua Lang remained calm and made an excuse, "I came here to look for a boy about eight years old. I wonder if Master Wu has seen him?"

Wu Tingque seemed to see through Hua Lang's thoughts and explained, "I have never met this person, but Master Wugui may know about this matter. Since Junior Sister Hua is here, why not come in and discuss it in detail?"

Is there anyone else in the house?

Hua Lang followed instructions and entered the room. Before he could clearly see the layout of the huge main hall, a cold snort was heard in the distance. Hua Lang looked towards the huge screen in the inner hall.

The voice behind the painting screen rang out again: "Junior Sister Hua? Her last name isn't Hua anymore."

Hua Lang felt that the voice sounded quite familiar, but she couldn't place it right away. However, the content of the words made her even more confused. "What does it mean that the surname is not Hua?"

The wheelchair rolled gently across the floor. Wu Tingque stroked the ring and explained, "From today on, you are Rong Cheng Yunwen."

Rong Cheng?

Although she had only seen Hua Lang once, she would never forget it!

This is because this is the only family in the book, except for the male protagonist, that has successfully achieved enlightenment and gave birth to an "immortal". However, the Rongcheng family acts extremely mysteriously. Hua Lang thought they would be the ultimate boss. As a result, due to the bad ending, until the end, the people of the Rongcheng family did not even appear!

Although she knew this, Hua Lang still didn't understand what they were trying to do. She said, "I'm not familiar with you two, yet you went to the trouble of tricking me here. If you have something to say, why not say it more clearly?"

The man in the room seemed to be full of resentment towards Hua Lang. Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly again.

Wu Tingque was the first to speak. He glanced at Hua Lang's expression and didn't change his words as the man inside the room had requested. "Junior Sister Hua, for some reason, we need you to help us pretend to be someone else. Of course, your life won't be in danger during this period. You just need to come forward and help us deal with some of the elders in the clan."

"After the matter is accomplished, whether it is status, wealth, or secret scrolls, the Wu family and the Rong Cheng family will offer them with both hands."

Hua Lang stared at Wu Tingque. His face was extremely deceptive, and coupled with his soft voice, it seemed that this matter was indeed full of temptation.

The only family that has become an "immortal" and the Wu family that controls Zhongzhou, the things that these two families can give are naturally unimaginable to ordinary people.

The whole thing is like pie in the sky.

But, wasn't Mo Jinghong just like a big pie falling from the sky and hitting Hua Lang?

Hua Lang has suffered a lot from this kind of rhetoric, not to mention that her most important task now is to go to Guiyuan to find Xie Hanjing.

"Since you need my help, then just tie me off the cloud shuttle and take me back to Zhongzhou. Is that the way the Wu and Rong families treat their guests?"

Wu Tingque shook his head gently: "Junior Sister Hua, you have misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."

Regardless of what Wu Tingque was thinking, he was currently expressing an attitude of openness to communication. Hua Lang tentatively asked, "But I have to go to Guiyuan now, and I'm too busy to work with him."

Wu Tingque: "It's okay. When Junior Sister Hua is done, Master Rongcheng and I will be waiting for you in Zhongzhou. This Wugui Boat is only a small Xumi space, so Junior Sister Hua, don't worry. We are all on the cloud shuttle heading to Guiyuan now."

Wu Tingque turned his head and looked at the screen.

Rong Chengyunxuan snorted twice in extreme dissatisfaction, and then the main hall, like the disappeared waiter, gradually became transparent until it disappeared.

When Hua Lang came to her senses again, she was already sitting in a small and even somewhat old house.

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.

But as soon as she raised her head, she immediately woke up.

In front of her, the man in white, who was sitting at the lame wooden table and looked out of place in the whole room, was none other than Wu Tingque, with whom she had just chatted.

As for Rong Xuan, whom she had been looking for for a long time but couldn't see, he was sitting on the other side of the wooden table, staring at her with red eyes. Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door, and through the thin wooden door, one could even make out the vague outline of someone outside.

It's the Jingyun hairpin.

"Sister, open the door quickly. I brought a friend from the medicine cabinet. She can help take a look at your child."

As if afraid that Hua Lang didn't hear it, "Dong Dong Dong."

The knock on the door sounded again.

With this strength, if they knock again, the two of them will be able to break into the door directly.

Hua Lang didn't want to sleep facing the busy corridor, so she quickly got up and opened the door.

His hand was already on the doorknob. Hua Lang remembered something and quickly turned around to look at the motionless Wu Tingque.

Wu Tingque seemed not to understand her expression and focused on playing with the ring on his hand.

Hua Lang: ...

Outside the house, Jing Yunzan raised her hand again, and was about to knock on the door—

Hua Lang opened the door with a fearless attitude.
