"The fourth challenge is the various traps and mechanisms in the study, as well as special secret passages. If you don't know how to use them properly, not only will you face a near-death experience, but you may also find yourself unable to move an inch." Zhang Zitong said solemnly.
Zuan said, "Shouldn't this be something the Embroidered-Robed Envoys excel at? Can't you find a suitable person?"
“The Seventh Master used to be the best at this,” Zhang Zitong said with a slightly embarrassed expression. “But I have followed him on some missions and received his guidance. I will give it a try then.”
Zu An nodded slightly. Since she was a silver medalist, she was definitely reliable in this regard, after all, she was someone who dared to break into the Prince's mansion alone back then.
"The fifth difficulty is that after entering the secret passage, there is a special dark place with four Dark Assassins inside. They were trained by the Prince of Yan with great effort. In such a place where you can't see your hand in front of your face, ordinary experts are restrained at every turn and are no match for those Dark Assassins," Zhang Zitong explained.
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "How do you know so much about the situation inside the secret room?"
“The construction of these secret chambers must have required a large number of skilled craftsmen. Although the Prince of Yan’s mansion has deliberately concealed this, as long as there are clues, our Embroidered Robe Envoys can find out anything.” Xiao Jianren finally found an opportunity to show off, and he spoke with some pride.
After all, this was the angle he came up with.
Zu An nodded and offered a few words of encouragement, and with Zhang Zitong's appreciative gaze, Xiao Jianren straightened his back even more.
Zaun fell into deep thought. The Dark Lands, he thought, were not unfamiliar to him.
He suddenly thought of Peng Wuyan from the Taoist Grand Competition. If he had her skills, these Dark Assassins would be a joke.
However, he immediately became worried. It seemed that Peng Wuyan, who was of the Light element, was somewhat restraining Fu Hao Xiaozun, who was of the Great Manman.
"Lord Zu, Lord Zu?" Zhang Zitong called out in confusion from the side, as he seemed to be somewhat lost in thought.
“I’ll handle that. What’s the sixth problem?” Zuan then asked.
The room fell silent instantly, leaving Zu An puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Zitong looked at him with a complicated expression: "The main thing is that we discussed it for a long time beforehand. We all thought these problems were as difficult as climbing to the sky, but it seems like they are nothing to Eleventh Master?"
Zuan chuckled: "You can start flattering me after the mission is complete. Tell me what the sixth challenge is first."
Zhang Zitong replied, "The sixth problem is that the box containing the ledger has a mechanism lock that is very difficult to open; moreover, once the ledger is taken out, it will trigger the mechanism inside, causing the entire room to start self-destructing and destroying the ledger and the intruder together."
"Huh, why does your tone sound a bit more relaxed than before?" Zu'an keenly noticed her change and thought to himself, "Is this woman planning to rely on me again? I'm not omnipotent."
“I do have a solution to this problem. I have a lot of experience with lock picking,” Zhang Zitong said shyly.
Zuan was taken aback: "What did you do before?"
“I used to wander the streets, doing petty theft. Later, I met Master Qi, who saw that I had good aptitude and took me into the Embroidered Robe Envoys,” Zhang Zitong said shyly.
"So it turns out that Miss Zhang had such a miserable childhood. It's truly heartbreaking," Xiao Jianren couldn't help but express his concern.
Zhang Zitong politely nodded slightly to him, but her eyes remained expressionless.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "No wonder you are so eager to avenge Master Qi."
Zhang Zitong's eyes immediately welled up with tears, thinking to herself that it was only Lord Zu who truly understood her.
