"What kind of sorcery is this? How can it be so vicious!" The little dumpling was terrified. According to the great wizard, what difference was there between wearing this mask and having it grown on one's face?!

Su Ruiling glared at the Grand Wizard and commanded, "Since you know so much about this, you must also know the correct way to remove this mask. Remove it! Otherwise, I'll chop off your dog's head."

Su Ruiling's words left no room for rebuttal, and the great wizard felt a chill run down his spine. He unconsciously glanced at Yu Yiman, wanting to see how she would react.

Yu Yiman received his gaze and said, "Listen to Her Majesty the Empress, otherwise even if she spares you, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

The great wizard was startled, cold sweat pouring down his back. It is said that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, and he was practically serving three tigers at once: the king, the queen, and the empress. One wrong move and he would be torn apart by five horses.

The great wizard then looked at the sulking little bundle of fur. There wasn't just three tigers! There was another little tiger cub ready to pounce on him at any moment!

“This servant…this servant knows how to remove this mask,” the high priest uttered slowly.

"Okay, then let's take it off quickly." Upon hearing that she could remove the mask, the little girl happily ran to Hu Yanqing's side. However, this time she didn't dare touch her easily, but instead tugged at her skirt and swayed gently, saying:

"Let's take off our masks! We'll take off our masks in a bit!"

As Hu Yanqing listened to her voice, the corners of his mouth, hidden behind his mask, couldn't help but turn up.

"Then hurry up and take it off, don't waste time." Su Ruiling urged. She just wanted to see Hu Yanqing's face immediately. She just wanted to know if she was Qingxi.

The high wizard respectfully replied, "Yes, sir," and then went to the wardrobe.

He opened the carved wardrobe, which was as big as an entire wall, and after pressing the mechanism, a secret passage was revealed.

"This is...?" Su Ruiling stared at the secret passage in front of her, speechless with surprise.

"This mask was made and put on using a special method. To remove it, a special potion is needed. Everything is in here. Please follow me." After the high priestess finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the secret passage, with Hu Yanqing following closely behind her.

Su Ruiling had just lifted her foot when she was stopped by the little dumpling.

"Aunt, I'll go. You wait for us outside." The little dumpling looked at Su Ruiling's belly.

Su Ruiling felt a warmth in her heart, but she still shook her head and walked forward resolutely.

"Come on, little princess, I'm here. Your aunt will be fine." Yu Yiman smiled and gave the little dumpling a push.

The little dumpling waved her hand away and said irritably, "I can walk by myself."

Yu Yiman's arm felt hot from the slap. She covered her arm and frowned. Why had this little girl suddenly become so irritable? Her attitude towards her was also different from before.

Watching Xiao Tuanzi and Su Ruiling walk into the secret passage, Yu Yiman stopped thinking about Xiao Tuanzi's strangeness and was secretly delighted.

These people have indeed fallen into her trap!

Soon, all of this will be over.

Yu Yiman clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly with excitement. She tried to suppress her joy and stepped into the secret passage.

As Yu Yiman entered, the door to the secret passage slowly closed.

Through the secret passage, Xiao Tuanzi and the others arrived at a secret room the size of a house.

The little girl was familiar with this secret room, because it was the very secret room that Huyan Xiaozhe had brought her to.

The alchemy furnace was still there, but the items belonging to her mother on the shelf were gone; Yu Yiman must have put them away.

The little dumpling turned to look at Yu Yiman, "Auntie, it's time to make a move!"
