When Qin Kou'er came out, she saw the winding corridor that wasn't long, but was full of turns.

Qin Kou'er gave a slight, cold laugh. The plan was indeed ingenious. However, it was rather difficult to expect something like this to stop her.

These corridors are clearly visible from here, but once you go inside, they twist and turn, with every corner blocking your view. And in that instant, the layout in front of you changes, and then no matter which way you go, you won't be able to get out.

The most important prop among them is the mirror.

This was Qin Meiying's invention.

The Qin family had a fondness for these mechanical and mathematical arts. These skills had developed over the generations, but Qin Meiying's generation saw a remarkable leap forward.

Qin Meiying is exceptionally intelligent and has added many original elements to the previous mechanical designs, one of which is the use of mirrors.

Other people rarely use these kinds of things in their mechanisms, but Qin Meiying likes them very much. And her mirror is not an ordinary thing either, but is made of a kind of transparent crystal that has been polished so that it looks transparent.

Finally, Qin Meiying would brush a layer of something on top to make the mirror look crystal clear and seemingly transparent, yet it could conceal any landscape within without being visible.

This design allows people to walk through the maze anytime, anywhere. There will be countless paths in front of you, but you have no idea which one is the real one.

In short, the design was extremely ingenious. Even the Qu sisters fell into the trap.

However, Qin Kou'er was the one who was different from everyone else.

From a very young age, Qin Kou'er learned martial arts while diligently memorizing these mechanisms and secret passages, especially this unique invention of the Qin family.

So when Qin Kou'er saw the winding corridor in front of her, she immediately smiled.

Sure enough, the Qin family immortals were testing me!

"Qin Kou'er, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Qin family, pays respects to the ancestors of the Qin family!"

Qin Kou'er said loudly, then properly straightened her clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Standing up, Qin Kou'er continued in a loud voice, "Our ancestors set up this test for me. I will certainly obey! However, I beg that after I pass the test, I may meet the Qin family!"

With that, Qin Kou'er let out a long whistle and leaped into the air, like a crane spreading its wings. Her feet didn't touch the ground, and she quickly danced through the winding corridor, her hands gripping the railing beside her.

Lan Linxue couldn't see Qin Kou'er, but he could hear her howling, which made him even more anxious. He paced back and forth on the ground like an ant, restless.

Lan Shanyang acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and simply sat on the prayer mat, quietly turning the prayer beads.

Qin Kou'er quickly traversed the four corridors, but when she reached the fifth one, a sudden mechanism activated, and countless daggers shot out, causing a dramatic change in the corridor on the ground.

Qin Kou'er remained calm and composed. She turned in mid-air, her movements as swift as a compass, her clothes fluttering as she swept away all the flying daggers.

By the time she landed on the ground, the projectiles had all been launched.

Seeing the winding corridor that had suddenly appeared in front of her, Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, took out a silk handkerchief, covered her eyes completely, and then silently recited the incantation before carefully walking forward.

What you see is not necessarily the truth, but when you open your mind, you can often see the truth.

Qin Kou'er is blind, but her other senses have become more acute than ever before.

She silently counted the number of steps she had taken while carefully listening to the sounds around her.

When she had taken 90 steps, she heard the slight turning of the mechanism again.

Qin Kou'er smiled, immediately leaped up, and landed directly on the railing next to her.

Sure enough, the fence turned unexpectedly, and when the mechanism stopped, Qin Kou'er immediately took off her blindfold.

There's only one last straight stretch of road ahead; walk past it, and you'll reach the main entrance to the side room.

Qin Kou'er didn't act impulsively. Instead, she took off her hat, letting her long hair, as black as ink, cascade down. Hidden within was a huge luminous pearl.

Qin Kou'er picked up the bead, looked gently at an inconspicuous groove on the road ahead, and carefully threw the pearl into the groove.

Immediately, the corridor rotated again.

The side walls on both sides of the road collapsed instantly, leaving only a narrow path in the middle.

This is the ingenuity of the Qin family's traps; just when you think you've overcome all the dangers, the final trap can instantly take your life.

Qin Kou'er carefully walked over and stood at the door of the room, suddenly feeling her breathing become tense.

She hadn't felt anything when she overcame the difficulties just now. But now, she felt so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat, and her outstretched hands hesitated, unsure whether to push open the door in front of her.

The person who could design such an ingenious mechanism must have been an elder of the Qin family, but she had investigated and found that all the elders of the Qin family had disappeared that night. Even if there were some distant relatives, they were all executed along with their entire families! There really wasn't a single survivor.

Moreover, someone who could design such a mechanism could not possibly be a distant relative of the Qin family; they must be a member of the Qin family clan!

But who could it be? Who could it be?

Qin Kou'er was so nervous that her hands started to tremble.

But she was determined to go inside and find the widow of the Qin family.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Kou'er tried to calm herself and slowly pushed open the door in front of her.

A white figure stood silently behind the gauze curtain, watching the doorway.
