Chapter 127 Mystery



Sheng Yunrong gently pushed open Tu Subo's door, and a faint candlelight shone through the room, illuminating the quiet air. She looked around nervously, and after confirming that no one was there, she walked in lightly.

Tu Subo was sitting at the table, frowning, as if he was thinking deeply about something. When he heard the door open, he raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he saw Sheng Yunrong, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong walked up to Tu Subo eagerly and whispered, "Tu Subo, I just heard an important piece of news that you must know."

Tu Subo nodded slightly, motioning her to continue. His eyes were still deep, as if he could see through everything.

Sheng Yunrong bit her lower lip, organized her words, and said, "I heard from the housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion that the eldest son of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Xuan, seems to be colluding with external forces, and they plan to take action in the next few days."

Tu Subo's expression changed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure the news is accurate?"

Sheng Yunrong nodded and said nervously, "I heard it with my own ears, so it can't be wrong. Tu Subo, you have to be careful. If they succeed, it will be detrimental to our Tu Su Mansion."

Tu Subo smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. He said, "Sheng Yunrong, I am very grateful for your concern for me. But this matter is not something you and I can easily interfere with."

Sheng Yunrong asked anxiously, "What should we do? Are we just going to sit back and watch them succeed in their conspiracy?"

Tu Subo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Of course I won't sit idly by. However, before that, we need to know more about the situation. Can you tell me what the situation is like inside the Sheng Mansion?"

Sheng Yunrong thought for a moment and said, "The Sheng Mansion seems calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Although Sheng Xuan, the eldest son of the Sheng Mansion, has a close relationship with my father on the surface, he often disagrees with my father in private."

Tu Subo's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said: "So, there are people in the Sheng Mansion who are dissatisfied with Sheng Xuan's actions?"

Sheng Yunrong nodded: "That's right. I heard that Sheng Yun, the second son of the Sheng family, doesn't get along with Sheng Xuan. The two of them are like fire and water."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Tu Subo's eyes. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the Sheng Mansion in the night, pondered for a moment, then turned to Sheng Yunrong and said, "Okay, we have a way. Sheng Yun may be able to help us."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly, with a determined light in his eyes, and said, "I plan to go to the Sheng Mansion in person to meet this Master Sheng Yun."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo worriedly: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"

Tu Subo patted Sheng Yunrong's shoulder gently and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be fine. I will act carefully, for the Tu Su Mansion and for you."

Sheng Yunrong pushed the door open and eagerly told Tu Subo the news. Tu Subo was a calm man, and after hearing Sheng Yunrong's narration, his brows slightly frowned, obviously surprised by the incident.

"You said that the Sheng family's convoy was attacked by unknown forces?" Tu Subo's voice was calm, but there was a sharp light in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong nodded, her face was a little pale, obviously frightened by what happened just now. "Yes, they seem to be very interested in something of ours. I'm worried that this may be related to our family's secret."

Tu Subo pondered for a while, then stood up and began to pace around the room. He knew that the Sheng family had many unknown secrets, and these secrets might be what some people wanted to get.

"What we need to confirm first is who is behind this attack." Tu Subo stopped and looked determined. "We need to find evidence to see if it is related to some hostile forces of the Sheng family."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo with worry in her eyes. "What should we do? The safety of the team is the most important thing now."

Tu Subo turned around and faced Sheng Yunrong, his eyes revealing a firm determination. "I will send someone to investigate immediately and strengthen the escort of the convoy. We can't let anyone harm the Sheng family."

Sheng Yunrong nodded. She knew that Tu Subo was a reliable person. With his support, she felt much more at ease.

Tu Subo then arranged a series of action plans. He sent people to notify other members of the Sheng family and sent messengers to various branches of the family to inform them to be vigilant. He also specially assigned several reliable guards to strengthen the protection of Sheng Yunrong and the convoy.

Under Tu Subo's arrangement, the Sheng family's response measures were quickly implemented. Sheng Yunrong gradually regained her composure and began to think about how to deal with the consequences of this incident.

Sheng Yunrong's voice pierced through the crack of the door, like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, and instantly melted Tu Subo's heart. He stood up, his heartbeat quickened, and a slight blush appeared on his face. He quickly straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the door.

The room was decorated in a simple and elegant style. The bookshelves were filled with various ancient books, the desk was filled with the four treasures of the study, and a faint scent of ink filled the air. Sheng Yunrong was standing by the window, the moonlight shining on her body, like a beautiful painting.

Tu Subo walked into the room, his eyes showing some nervousness and anticipation. He asked softly, "Miss Sheng, why are you here?"

Sheng Yunrong turned her head, a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Tu Subo, I heard that there is a mysterious ancient book hidden in your room, so I came here to find out."

Tu Subo smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Miss Sheng is indeed well-informed. However, this book is not an ordinary thing, we need to discuss it together."

The two walked to the table, and Tu Subo carefully took out a yellowed ancient book and handed it to Sheng Yunrong. Sheng Yunrong took the book, flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but sigh: "This book is indeed extraordinary. The content involves many lost secret techniques. It can be called a treasure."

Tu Subo looked at Sheng Yunrong's serious expression, and asked, "Miss Sheng, are you interested in this book?"

Sheng Yunrong raised her head, her eyes firm: "Of course. But I'm more curious about why you own this book?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes: "This book was passed down to me by my father. He said that this book records a mysterious formation that can keep the family safe. Unfortunately, I have never been able to comprehend the secret."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "Then have you ever thought about why your father passed this book to you?"

Tu Subo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Perhaps, he thinks that I have the ability to interpret this book. Or, he hopes that I can pass this book on."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo with concern: "Tu Subo, do you think we can solve the mystery of this book?"

Tu Subo's eyes flashed with determination: "As long as we work together, we will definitely find the answer."
