Bai Tuantuan appeared directly in a small room, deliberately hiding under the bed and making noise.
"Over here!" The man in black rushed over and pulled Bai Tuantuan out from under the bed.
Bai Tuantuan feigned fear as she looked at the people in front of her: "What, what are you going to do?"
The men in black robes exchanged glances, and one of them whispered, "Where are your companions?"
Bai Tuantuan burst into tears: "They're gone! They don't want me anymore! They said I'm a burden! Waaah!"
Disappointment showed on the faces of the men in black robes, but one was better than none.
He picked up Bai Tuantuan and walked outside.
Bai Tuantuan was shoved directly into a carriage, where three men in black robes sat. An ordinary person would have no chance of escaping.
Bai Tuantuan stared wide-eyed, tears streaming down her face: "Uncle, where are you taking me?"
Her soft, sweet voice did not soften their hearts for even a moment. On the contrary, their eyes were filled with lewd light as they looked at Bai Tuantuan.
"Little girl, your good day is coming soon." The hoarse voice carried a hint of excitement. Bai Tuantuan shrank her neck and whispered, "But I'm hungry, can I get something to eat?"
The man in the black robe didn't treat her harshly; he simply took out some snacks and placed them in front of her.
After taking a bite, Bai Tuantuan raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
"These are desserts from the royal palace."
So, the master is in the palace.
Bai Tuantuan lowered her eyes, concealing the light in them.
After finishing her snacks, Bai Tuantuan peeked outside through the gap in the carriage curtain. The familiar streets made her even more certain that the master was in the palace.
Sure enough, when Bai Tuantuan got off the carriage, it was inside the back gate of the palace.
They bypassed the imperial study, the main hall, and the cold palace, and arrived at an ordinary-looking palace.
Bai Tuantuan observed the scenery while releasing her vital energy, leaving behind a series of marks.
Upon entering the palace, we went directly into a secret passage.
The secret passage was lined with luminous pearls, an extravagant display of wealth!
Walking straight down, you'll see an old man with white hair and a black robe sitting in the center of the bed, surrounded by a magic array, which is exactly the same as the one in the village before!
She found out.
The glory of those achievements will ultimately fall upon him!
But why?
Since you have collected the light of merit, why do you still need to practice the evil art of replenishing yang by absorbing yin?
Bai Tuantuan was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face.
"If I'm not mistaken, he's using the light of merit to conceal his evil arts, so they won't be detected by the rules of Heaven," the ladle slowly explained. "After all, the evil art of replenishing yang through yin-yang cultivation is much faster to master than legitimate cultivation."
At this point, Tangshao gritted his teeth in anger. "That's how it is! Just how many women have they ruined!"
The master has been brought.
The man in the black robe spoke, and the white-clad girl lowered her head, feigning fear.
The master turned around, looked at Bai Tuantuan, and narrowed his eyes: "Why is there only one?"
【How could it be him!】The ladle suddenly stood up from the space and quickly connected with the iron pot.
Bai Tuantuan was a little confused. She secretly glanced at the master and found that he was no different from the others, with a mouth and two eyes.
The master seemed to have noticed that Bai Tuantuan was spying on him, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "She's quite a bold girl, lock her up for now."
"yes!"
The man in black robes led Bai Tuantuan to the right. After opening the door, a pungent smell wafted out.
Upon entering, one could see many women being imprisoned there.
The man in black robes pushed Bai Tuantuan inside, locked the door, and left.
Bai Tuantuan stumbled and fell to the ground, but the women helped her up: "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
Bai Tuantuan shook her head, looked at the women of different ages in front of her, and whispered, "Sisters, are we going to be locked up forever?"
Several women shook their heads, their faces filled with despair: "Some of our sisters were taken away yesterday and haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they're in grave danger."
"You're not from Ni Yiguo's capital, are you?" Bai Tuantuan asked tentatively.
"No, some of us came to stay with relatives, some wanted to try our luck in the capital, and some came because our master came to the capital. We had heard that all the women in Ni Yiguo's capital had disappeared, but we didn't take it seriously. We didn't expect that they had been arrested."
"But you're so young, why don't they even spare you?" A girl dressed as a maid looked at Bai Tuantuan with heartache in her eyes. "What exactly do they want to do!"
Bai Tuantuan pursed her lips: "Have you ever heard that they are practicing a kind of cultivation technique?"
“I know,” the woman in the corner said softly. Judging by her attire, she was clearly from a wealthy family. “My father also obtained the cultivation manual. She personally brought my mother and me here. My mother was taken away yesterday while protecting me, I’m afraid…”
At this point, the woman choked up and tears fell from her eyes.
Bai Tuantuan glanced around and saw that there were about fifteen women here. Ten of them had been taken away yesterday, and the one who had been here the longest was one who had arrived three days ago.
That means that 25 women were killed in three days.
Bai Tuantuan's fist hardened.
The crowd fell into silence, filled with helplessness, fear, and dread.
After all, they didn't know what awaited them.
Bai Tuantuan glanced around; all she saw were walls, and these women hadn't eaten in a long time.
Bai Tuantuan pretended to take out some food from her bosom, but actually took it out from her spatial storage: "These are snacks, you guys eat them quickly. When I came here, those people gave me some food, so I left it."
The girls' eyes lit up, but they immediately shook their heads in unison: "You're still young, you can't stand being hungry, you can save it for yourself to eat slowly."
For a moment, Bai Tuantuan didn't know what to say.
That's what girls are like; even in dire straits, they remain kind-hearted.
Bai Tuantuan whispered, "Sisters, eat quickly. After all, I might not be around tomorrow, so there's no point in keeping me."
The girls couldn't hold back their tears, but they didn't say anything more. They divided a pastry into three pieces and ate it slowly.
Many years later, these girls had married and had children. Whenever they talked about this, they would tell their children that it was the most delicious snack they had ever eaten...
They had just finished eating when they heard footsteps.
The group quickly huddled together, watching the outside world warily.
Bai Tuantuan was surrounded by these older sisters, only able to peek out with her little head peeking out.
The man in black robes walked over, opened the door, and said directly to the people behind him, "Take three away."
The girls gasped, their faces filled with despair.
Suddenly, Bai Tuantuan spoke up: "Uncle, take me away! It's dark and gloomy here, I'm scared!"
"round and round!"
The girls gasped and immediately covered Bai Tuantuan's mouth.
"I'm sorry, sir, she's still young and doesn't understand. I'll go with you," the little maid said, her voice filled with a sense of duty.
“I’ll go with you too.” The young lady, who had lost her mother, stepped forward.
“We can do it too!” the other girls exclaimed.
The man in black robes sneered, "What's the rush? None of them will escape!"
