Sheng Yunrong sat on the stone bench, gently brushed away the petals on her skirt, and said, "Qin Wenyuan, it has been a while since you left the Sheng Mansion. What are you doing here today?"

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath, looked into Sheng Yunrong's eyes, and said seriously: "Miss, I know that when I left Sheng Mansion, I brought shame to you and your family. But I came here today not to save anything, but to tell you and Tu Subo something important."

Qin Wenyuan gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He said, "In recent years, I have been investigating the frame-up of the Sheng Mansion. Now, I have found evidence to prove that the murderer who framed the Sheng Mansion was Mr. Tu Subo's family."

Tu Subo's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon regained his composure. He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said calmly, "Qin Wenyuan, are you slandering my family?"

Qin Wenyuan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, Mr. Tu Subo, I didn't mean that. I just want you to know that what happened back then was not accidental, but someone did it on purpose. I hope to get your help to uncover the truth and clear the Sheng family of their grievances."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind. Sure enough, Tu Subo was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Qin Wenyuan, I am willing to help you, but you must know that the process of uncovering the truth is not smooth sailing. You need to have enough courage and perseverance to face it." He turned to Sheng Yunrong and said sincerely: "Miss, I left the Sheng Mansion because of my incompetence and could not share the worries for you and the family. Today, I am willing to give everything for the Sheng Mansion, and I only ask that you can forgive me."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan, with a complex emotion in her eyes. Obviously, this past has become a scar in their hearts, but today, they all need to face it bravely. She smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Qin Wenyuan, let the past be the past. As long as you can clear the injustice for the Sheng family, I am willing to accept you again."

Qin Wenyuan felt warm in his heart, he finally got Sheng Yunrong's forgiveness. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo, his eyes flashing with determination.

…

"Tu Subo! Run! Run out of this temple!" Sheng Yunrong shouted.

Sheng Yunrong's shout echoed in the empty hall of Kurong Temple, startling the dust on the beams and slowly drifting down. Tu Subo stood there in a daze, his eyes intertwined with fear and disbelief, but Sheng Yunrong's eyes full of determination and worry instantly sobered him up.

"Hurry! This temple has been eroded by a strange power. It will be too late if we don't leave now!" Sheng Yunrong's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. She grabbed Tu Subo's arm and dragged him towards the door.

Tu Subo staggered to keep up with Sheng Yunrong, but his heart was in turmoil. He had heard of the intelligence and courage of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, but he did not expect that at this critical moment of life and death, her calmness and courage were even more amazing.

"Miss Sheng, what on earth is going on? She was fine just now, why suddenly..." Tu Subo asked in confusion as he walked.

Sheng Yunrong frowned, her expression serious: "Brother Tu Su, do you remember the legend about Kurong Temple that we discussed before? It is said that this temple will awaken the sealed evil power on the night of the full moon. I didn't believe in these superstitions, but now it seems that we seem to have triggered something inadvertently."

As they were talking, Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo had already rushed out of the main hall and came to the temple courtyard. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the bluestone road, reflecting the hurried figures of the two.

"Then what should we do now? Where are the other people in the temple?" Tu Subo looked around anxiously, but could not see any sign of other people.

Sheng Yunrong gritted her teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "Others may have met with an accident. We must find the exit as soon as possible and leave here. There must be a trap in this temple. I will look for clues carefully."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a cold light flashing through the darkness and heading straight for Tu Subo. Sheng Yunrong was quick-witted and pulled Tu Subo aside. The cold light brushed their cheeks and sank deeply into the wall.

"Be careful! There is a trap here!" Sheng Yunrong warned nervously.

Tu Subo's face was pale, but he didn't care about being afraid at this time. He clenched his fists and fought side by side with Sheng Yunrong. The two of them carefully avoided the attacks from the darkness and looked for opportunities to escape.

At this moment, Sheng Yunrong suddenly found an inconspicuous mechanism on the wall. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately pressed the mechanism. With a sound of mechanism, a wall of the temple slowly opened, revealing a secret passage.

"This way! Let's go!" Sheng Yunrong pulled Tu Subo and rushed into the secret passage without hesitation.

The dark passage was completely dark, and Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo could only rely on the weak fire stick to illuminate the way ahead. They walked cautiously, fearing that they would trigger the trap again.

"Miss Sheng, you are so smart. You can find a way out in this situation." Tu Subo couldn't help but admire.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile: "What's the use of being smart? If I can't protect myself and my friends, these so-called wisdom are just decoration."

Tu Subo was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "Miss Sheng, you are already amazing. At least at this time, you are our backbone."

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly and said nothing more. She knew in her heart that this crisis was far from over and they had to find a way out as soon as possible to escape from this strange Kurong Temple.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the front of the secret passage, and Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo's hearts instantly rose to their throats. They held the fire sticks tightly in their hands and carefully moved forward. Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo's heartbeats accelerated, and their eyes were fixed on the dim firelight in front of them. The roar was getting closer and closer, and a creepy sense of oppression permeated the narrow secret passage with the echo of the sound.

"Prepare for battle!" Sheng Yunrong whispered to Tu Subo, and at the same time drew a short sword from her waist. Although she was not a skilled warrior, the daughters of the Sheng family had received certain martial arts training since childhood, which was enough to deal with emergencies.

Tu Subo clenched his fists, looked at Sheng Yunrong nervously, and nodded. They all knew that what was coming next might be a life-and-death struggle.

At the end of the dark passage, a pair of eyes flashing green light suddenly appeared. Sheng Yunrong and Tu Subo immediately held their breath and tried not to make any sound. The eyes slowly approached, and with the light of the fire stick, they saw a huge figure.

It was a huge monster, its skin was an unnatural green color, covered with hard shells like rocks. Its claws were as sharp as swords, and every time it swung its claws, there was a whistling sound.

Sheng Yunrong gritted her teeth and winked at Tu Subo, signaling him to attack together. They rushed towards the monster at the same time, daggers and fists hitting the monster's vital points.
