Having said this, Fourteen suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth.
How come you accidentally said all your thoughts out loud?
He looked at Sheng cautiously. Ever since he figured out the ghost village incident, he had been a little afraid of her, although... even he himself didn't know what he was afraid of.
"That incident in the ghost village was pure luck. Don't make blind guesses."
Xiang Sheng looked calm and spoke slowly.
Fourteen felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I just slipped up for a moment, don't mind it. But this time, even though I haven't read much, I understand the principle of a tree standing out from the crowd. What are you going to do next?"
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "You can go."
Fourteen was slightly startled, "Let's go?"
"This is the Blazing Flame Sect, not the Xiang family."
Xiang Sheng sighed softly: "Your little ability can't help me."
After hearing these straightforward words, Fourteen felt very upset, "But..."
"No buts."
Xiang Sheng interrupted Fourteen, his voice turning cold. "Leave now before you're discovered! I'll figure it out myself. You staying here will only make things worse, understand?"
When Fourteen heard this, anger surged in his heart and he clenched his fists again and again. In the end, he said nothing and turned and left.
Bang!
The window opened and then closed again with a loud noise.
"Miss Sheng, what's wrong?" The maid's voice came from outside.
Xiang Sheng withdrew his gaze from the window and said calmly, "Nothing, a wild cat bumped into the window. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to bed now. Let's turn off the lights in the outer room."
"yes."
Soon, all the lights in the outer room went out and it was plunged into darkness.
Xiang Sheng blew out the candle, stuffed the pillow into the quilt in the dark, and then took out a set of black clothes that he had prepared earlier from under the bed and put them on.
In order to collect enough black dye, she almost didn't get back before dawn several times, but it wasn't in vain.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Sheng tapped the ground with his feet, climbed up along the wall, gently lifted a tile, and quietly climbed onto the roof.
There is no moon tonight, the night is pitch black and you can't see your hand in front of you.
Xiang Sheng lay on the edge of the eaves and waited for a long time. Finally, he vaguely saw several figures floating outside the house, and his heart sank suddenly.
Fourteen was right. Someone was really targeting her. Fortunately, these people were not very skilled and had not yet developed spiritual awareness. Otherwise, she would not be able to hide her little trick from them, and she would not even have time to lie down here and think.
However, this is not good news.
Not to mention that she is only at the first level of Qi training. Even if her cultivation level is higher, she has no martial arts skills. If she really faces these people, she may not have even a 10% chance of winning.
Xiang Hongyu hadn't been seen for two months, and it was unknown how long he would be back. Qin Ji's cultivation was average, and two fists couldn't stand up to four hands. She probably couldn't stop them. If they really came to her door, she would definitely die!
We can't just sit there and wait for death.
But...how to escape?
Xiang Sheng frowned, his thoughts racing.
This is a sect of cultivation, and the sect's formation is tightly closed. Not to mention the inner sect attendants, even the inner sect disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain at will.
In the past two months, in addition to becoming familiar with the mountain roads, she had also approached the sect's formation more than once, but she was either scolded and sent away by the elders who were secretly guarding the formation, or she could only stare at the light wall of the formation. Not to mention breaking a hole in it, it was difficult to even make the light wall of the formation fluctuate.
The only way is to accept the sect's mission and pass through the formation using the down-the-mountain token.
But she is just an attendant, who would give her a sect mission?
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up and a plan came to his mind.
But... this is a risky move. If it fails, the consequences will probably be even worse.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly realized that something was wrong around him.
It's suddenly so quiet.
It was clearly a midsummer night, so how could there not be a single insect chirping?
She held her breath, moved her body carefully, and grabbed the eaves to reveal her eyes.
What came into view was a phantom moving at an extremely fast speed. He climbed over the wall silently and rushed straight towards his residence.
The murderous intent spread unbridled in the night, making people feel cold all over, and even the insects around them stopped chirping.
Xiang Sheng took only one look and then looked away, fearing that the man would notice his gaze. He huddled in a corner of the eaves, motionless.
Not long after, Xiang Sheng heard the sound of the man leaving. Without saying a word, she immediately jumped off the roof, dived into the jungle behind the house, and ran up along the secluded path.
When she reached the Hall of Merit, she tried her best to calm her breathing, took off her black clothes and threw them into the bushes, revealing the attendant's robes underneath. Then she straightened her messy hair and walked into the gate with steady steps.
