The matter was quickly settled, and Mo Qingcheng and Lin Feifei went to Bei Gonglan's Fengyuan Cloth Shop together. The servant looked troubled and hesitated.
"Miss Lin, Madam Mo, my young lady... she's really not here..."
"Not here? How could that be? Get up. We made an appointment with Lan'er, why would she suddenly disappear?" Lin Feifei narrowed her eyes and pushed the servant aside.
The servant stumbled and nearly fell, then stepped forward again to stop them: "Excuse me, gentlemen, my young lady..."
"Get out!" Mo Qingcheng and Lin Feifei exchanged a glance, and Mo Qingcheng kicked the servant away.
The servant cried out, "My young lady is really not here..."
Um?
Tipping off someone?
Mo Qingchen stopped and walked step by step toward the servant: "Where is Lan'er?"
"Madam Mo..."
"Do you know who I am? I've never seen you before!" Mo Qingcheng moved with lightning speed, grabbing the servant by the neck: "Tell...the truth...or else..."
The servant closed his eyes, remaining silent even in death. Lin Feifei, enraged, slapped him across the face: "Sister Mo, this scoundrel must have used underhanded methods to harm Lan'er..."
"Go!" Mo Qingcheng flung the servant aside, flicked her finger, and sent a pill flying into the servant's mouth.
The servant's face changed drastically, and he was terrified. The pill melted in his mouth, and he couldn't make a sound.
The young boy, unperturbed, reached out and pressed the servant's pressure points: "You're too tired, let me help you out..."
Before the servant lost consciousness, two words flashed through his mind: It's over...
The backyard of Fengyuan Cloth Shop is open to the owner, Bei Gonglan, who occasionally stays here. Lin Feifei has been here before and led the way directly.
Mo Qingcheng walked along, her gaze slightly cool. The weather was getting colder, yet the garden in the backyard was in full bloom. There were no hot springs, no geothermal heating; if you said there wasn't something fishy going on, I'd never believe it.
"Sister Mo, is something wrong?" Lin Feifei stopped and stepped back.
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Save the person first. These kinds of flowers and plants are mutually reinforcing and mutually antagonistic; if left for too long, they will inhale toxins..."
"Huh? Which heartless bastard is trying to harm Lan'er? Don't let me catch him!" Lin Feifei snorted angrily. This young lady has a temper that can't be tolerated any longer.
Mo Qingcheng gestured for Shangguan Yichen to stand guard at the door, then stepped into the inner room with Lin Feifei.
The room was a mess, the back window was open, and chairs and tables were broken all over the floor; anyone who didn't know better would think a thief had broken in.
"Sister Mo, where is she? Is it...?" Lin Feifei was startled.
"Wait, don't rush..." Mo Qingcheng carefully observed the messy footprints, walked to a bookshelf, looked it over, and twisted the vase on the bookshelf.
With a creak, the bookcase slowly rotated, revealing a hidden door that could only be passed through by one person at a time.
"Oh my god, there's a mechanism?" Lin Feifei reached out to push the door open, but Mo Qingcheng grabbed her arm.
"Feifei, there's a trap."
"ah?"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The mechanism was triggered, and poisoned arrows shot out one after another, startling Lin Feifei.
Mo Qingcheng pulled Lin Feifei aside, and a few pebbles appeared in her hand.
"Thud!" A pebble hit the door, silencing the noise in an instant.
"Let's go!" Mo Qingcheng took the lead and slipped into the hidden door. Lin Feifei gritted her teeth and followed her in. Sister Mo was truly a hidden master.
A winding staircase descended, with tattered corners of clothing caught on its edges, and Mo Qingcheng's heart sank.
"Feifei, slow down, are you sure you can manage?" Mo Qingcheng was worried about Beigong Lan; if she was even a step too late, she might be killed.
Lian Feifei nodded firmly: "Fine! Don't worry about me..."
"Alright!" Mo Qingcheng leaped into the air and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feifei took a deep breath, when suddenly a sinister laugh reached her ears: "Hehehe..."
"who?"
