Chapter 282 Secret Passage

Xue Ren hid under the stone table, covering the wound on his abdomen, and was secretly planning when to leave. Suddenly, there was a light sound above his head, followed by a bright light.

Xue Ren was startled, realizing he had been discovered. He quickly held his sword horizontally in front of him and looked up. He was stunned and said hesitantly, "It's you two?"

Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu did not conceal their faces today, so Xue Ren did not recognize them at first glance, but he guessed it by looking at their figures.

"Why are you hiding here?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.

As soon as Yuan Ziyu spoke, Xue Ren confirmed that Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu were the two people he had seen the day before. He struggled to stand up, and Huo Xifei hurried forward to help him.

After returning the stone table to its original position, Huo Xifei handed a packet of medicine to Xue Ren: "Stop the bleeding first!"

"Thank you!" Xue Ren took the medicine and applied it to his wound before leaning against the stone table and sitting down. "You two are wondering why I'm hiding here, right?"

"What happened?" Huo Xifei asked calmly.

"I was careless!" Xue Ren sighed and said, "I wanted to avenge Gui Mian myself, but I didn't expect the host's martial arts to be so advanced. Even after being poisoned by the drug, he was still so powerful. After all, I took a blow from him, but I didn't get to avenge Gui Mian myself!"

As he spoke, Xue Ren angrily punched the stone table with his fist, but it agitated the wound on his abdomen, causing him to frown in pain.

"Are you going to kill the owner of Youye Tower with your own hands?" Yuan Ziyu asked.

"Right!" Xue Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "If he hadn't injured Ghost Face so badly, if he hadn't wanted to kill Ghost Face, with Ghost Face's kung fu, how could he have lost his life? Ghost Face's death is caused by him!"

Blood Ren's voice was filled with deep hatred: "What a pity, I still couldn't kill him!"

Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyou exchanged a glance, and Huo Xifei asked, "So, where's the owner of that building? We searched the entire Youye Building but couldn't find him!"

"Of course you can't find him!" Xue Ren pointed at a rockery not far away and said, "He hid in that rockery. He stabbed me. I wanted to chase him, but your people came in. I had no choice but to hide here for now!"

Huo Xifei looked at the rockery and asked, "Is there a secret passage underneath it?"

"That's right!" Xue Ren nodded: "Come on, I'll take you in!"

As he spoke, Xue Ren was about to stand up, but when he stood up, his body swayed and the wound on his abdomen began to bleed again.

Huo Xifei quickly held down the blood blade and said, "You're too badly injured. It's better not to go. We'll go!"

"No!" Xue Ren insisted, "I must avenge Ghost Face with my own hands!"

"When we catch him, we will bring him to you and you can do whatever you want with him then!" Yuan Ziyu was also unwilling to let Xue Ren go with him, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Xue Ren knew how serious his injuries were. Seeing Yuan Ziyu say this, he hurriedly asked, "Are you serious?"

"Don't worry! We will never go back on our word!" Huo Xifei said.

"Alright!" Xue Ren thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll leave it to you. When you enter the secret passage later, you must be extra careful. As far as I know, the secret passage under the rockery is connected to many caves. The terrain is very complex, making it a good place to hide. The owner of the building has always been meticulous. Since he knows the situation is hopeless, he will definitely take precautions. Moreover, I don't know how many traps he has set up in the secret passage, so be careful!"

"Okay!" Huo Xifei nodded. "You stay hidden. I've thought about it and think it's best not to let those soldiers know of your presence. After all, there are many people and they talk a lot. So, it's not appropriate for you to show up now!"

"Okay!" Xue Ren naturally understood this logic, so he nodded in agreement.

Yuan Ziyou thought for a moment, then handed Xue Ren a medicine bottle and said, "You're seriously injured. Take these medicines; they'll be good for your wound!"

"Thank you!" Xue Ren took the medicine bottle and nodded to Yuan Ziyu. He then explained to Huo Xifei how to enter the secret passage through the rockery. Finally, he warned, "I've never been in that secret passage before, so be very careful when you go in!"

"Well, don't worry!" Huo Xifei nodded in response. Seeing that the bloody blade was hidden under the stone table again, he went to the rockery with Yuan Ziyu.

Following the method Xue Ren said, Huo Xifei quickly opened the entrance to the secret passage. As soon as the entrance was opened, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out and shot straight towards Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu.

Huo Xifei's eyes became fierce, and he blocked with the dagger in his hand. The sharp arrow deviated from its direction and pierced deeply into the rockery beside him.

"The owner of Youye Tower is really insidious!" Yuan Ziyu frowned. Before even entering the secret passage, he gave us a big gift!

Huo Xifei smiled and nodded: "It is indeed cautious enough, but I am afraid there are many traps inside!"

As he said this, he was about to step forward and pull out the arrow.

Yuan Ziyou took one look and hurriedly stopped Huo Xifei: "Brother Xi, don't move, I'll pull it out!"

Yuan Ziyou was worried that the arrow was poisonous, but Huo Xifei was not immune to all poisons.

Huo Xifei smiled and said, "Well, it feels good to be protected by my wife!"

Yuan Ziyu smiled and gave Huo Xifei a glare, then stepped forward and pulled out the arrow. After a closer look, he couldn't help but frown and said, "This Youye Tower owner is truly vicious. The poison on this arrow is ineffective against the throat upon contact with blood!"

"If you're not vicious, you can't be the owner of Youye Tower!" Huo Xifei said, "You'er, put away the arrows, let's go in and take a look!"

"good!"

The two entered the secret passage, and as soon as they entered, the door of the secret passage closed automatically!

Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu looked at each other. Huo Xifei listened carefully to the movements around him and nodded to Yuan Ziyu. Yuan Ziyu understood and with a thought, the two of them entered the Qiongjiang Pavilion.

The first half of the secret passage is a staircase extending downwards.

Yuan Ziyu drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion all the way down, looking around along the way.

"This OP is truly insidious!" Yuan Ziyu gasped. "There are so many traps hidden in this short section. If we force our way through, there's almost no chance of escaping unscathed!"

"So, it's my luck to have you by my side!" Huo Xifei said with a smile.

Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Then you must cherish it!"

"Of course!" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows and said, "If you're willing to marry me sooner, I'd be more than happy to do that!"

"You wish!" Yuan Ziyu made a face at Huo Xifei: "If you have the guts, go tell my parents!"

Huo Xifei touched his nose after hearing this and said, "Well... forget it, I'll wait patiently!"

Just kidding, Uncle Yuan and Aunt Liu wish they could marry You'er two years later. If he goes to talk to them about this, they will definitely not treat him well!

Yuan Ziyu smiled complacently, looked outside the Qiongjiang Pavilion, and suddenly exclaimed, "What a huge lake!"
