Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi: “…”
Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what happened next, so fortunately Hua Shi did not see what happened next.
Hua Shi endured it again and again but finally couldn't help but shouted out loudly: "What on earth is this!?"
Fang Wei pretended to be dead, but Hua Shi lowered his head and began to fiddle with the Huiguangzhu in his hand: "Why did it fail at the critical moment just now? How do I restart this thing? Can I predict the number of times it can be used? Can I use twice the CD to let it continue to work for me?"
Fang Wei watched him struggling for a long time in silence, feeling a little worried that the magic weapon he just received would be scrapped, so he finally spoke up to remind him: "Host, please use the magic weapon in the correct way. The CD for Huiguangzhu is 24 hours, and there will be no special circumstances."
Hua Shi felt a little discouraged after hearing Fang Wei's words. He couldn't help but hold his head and said, "But how come it just broke here? Wasn't this bead intentional?"
Fang Wei didn't say anything.
However, then he saw Hua Shi lower his head and began to wipe the stool in front of him with the silk handkerchief he carried with him, as if he was cleaning the room.
Fang Wei was used to seeing the lazy and carefree young master in the Hua family, and had never seen him move a finger for unnecessary things. Now seeing Hua Shi doing this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Host, what are you doing?"
Hua Shi did not do anything unnecessary. He only wiped the stool in front of him clean, and did not wipe anything else. He sat down on the stool he had just wiped, and then threw away the silk handkerchief. He then took out a folding fan from his bosom and fanned himself with it. Then he said seriously and firmly, "I will wait here."
"I don't have anything else urgent to do anyway, so I'll just wait here." Hua Shi showed his extraordinary patience at this time, "Once the 24-hour CD of Mengzhu is over, I can continue watching it, right?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He really underestimated Hua Shi's persistence and patience, but at the same time, he had to remind him: "The clips displayed by Huiguangzhu are random. Even if the host waits patiently, he may not necessarily see the scene just now."
This time it was Hua Shi's turn to be stunned.
He persisted for a long time, but he didn't expect that it was all in vain. He wanted to know what Liu Qishuang's spiritual state was like, but he didn't expect that Huimengzhu would spark his interest and run away without any after-sales service.
Hua Shi was ultimately unable to continue waiting here, because Fang Wei had already told him that the chance of seeing what was happening next if he waited here was slim, but the probability of being hunted down by the evildoers was as high as 50%.
A young master like Hua Shi would never joke with his own life. After all, only by staying alive can he continue to explore what happened to Liu Qishuang in the past. Hua Shi found another way to comfort himself: "Maybe I can see him in other places using Huimengzhu. I think he must have been to many places."
These words made Fang Wei, who had originally felt relieved, feel helpless again.
Although Hua Shi's words seemed to be spoken casually, if he really investigated seriously, he would probably discover more things, because he had indeed been to many places on the Xuanqing Continent.
However, now is not the time to think about such things. Although Fang Wei lied to Hua Shi that there were evil people coming in order to scare him and persuade him to leave, at this moment he did feel that someone was heading towards the headquarters of Ningshan. He just didn't know who the other party was and why he came.
In any case, we should not stay here any longer. Fang Wei urged again and told Hua Shi that someone was coming. Hua Shi did not dare to delay and quickly left the secret room with the treasures he had selected. Before leaving, he restored the secret room to its original state and hid the entrance to the secret room.
Hua Shi went back along the same route and fortunately he did not run into anyone who broke into Ningshan.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Hua Shi saw the Hua family servants who were originally guarding here. Remembering what the system told him not long ago, Hua Shi asked everyone who had gone up the mountain just now. However, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
There is only one way to go up Ningshan Mountain. The other roads are extremely steep and ordinary people would never take such roads.
Hua Shi couldn't help but feel puzzled. Did the person who went up the mountain before see someone guarding the mountain below, so he deliberately went up from the dangerous side road? This led to no one noticing his existence. Or was it that his strength had become so elusive that no one could detect his existence?
Speculating in this way, Hua Shi asked the system again: "Is there really someone up there now? Where is he now?"
Fang Wei replied: "Someone did go there, and now he is..."
Fang Wei released the power of his spiritual consciousness to sense the situation on the mountain. He was unable to find out the specific situation on the mountain, nor could he see the man's face clearly, but he could roughly sense the other person's location.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Hua Shi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him?"
Fang Wei took a moment to adjust his tone, and when he spoke, there was no more abnormality in his voice. He said, "The other party entered the secret room."
Hua Shi murmured, "How could it be? Aren't there only a few people who know about the secret room?"
Fang Wei had the same doubts as Hua Shi, but even if he wanted to figure it out, he probably didn't have the chance now. There were very few people in this world who knew about the secret room in the headquarters. Perhaps the person staying in the secret room now was one of the people he knew.
However, a thousand years have passed since then, and the people he knew have long since been buried in the earth or disappeared. So who could be the person in the secret room now?
At the same time, the people who were in the secret room were also looking at the scene in the secret room in silence and full of confusion.
The man was dressed in black and looked stern, with deep and strong features. He looked quite young, but the emotions revealed in his eyes made it difficult to judge his real age.
At this moment, he was looking down at the empty room, as if he saw what happened here not long ago.
"These are traces of the Huiguang Pearl being used." The man said as he cast his gaze towards the place inside the secret room where the Huiguang Pearl was originally placed. Sure enough, there was only an empty box left there, and there was no trace of the pearl that was originally on the velvet cloth inside.
He stared at the empty box with a strange look in his eyes. After a while, he slowly turned his gaze and fixed his eyes on the cabinet in the corner.
"Yunxiu Pen."
There was no one there at that moment. If Hua Shi was there, he would definitely remember that that was indeed where Yunxiu's pen was placed before.
After saying this, the man turned around again and finally fixed his eyes on the wall in front of him where various weapons were placed.
All the weapons on the wall were hung neatly, except for a noticeable gap in the center.
That was where the Lingsha Sword was once placed.
"Spiritual Sand Sword."
The man almost squeezed out these three words from his throat while suppressing his voice. His voice was hoarse as if filled with deep fatigue. He closed his eyes slightly facing the wall. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes again, but his vision had clearly become much darker.
"Liu Qishuang." The man raised his right hand, his fingertips touching the spot where the Lingsha Sword had been placed, and said in a low voice: "Are you back? Or did someone take away something that belonged to you?"
The man said this and after a long time he finally turned around and came to a cabinet.
Then he took out the black iron box from the deepest part of the cabinet and opened it.
The box was empty, with no trace of the token.
The man fell silent.
The room fell silent again. After an unknown amount of time, a sound was heard outside the secret room again, as if someone was looking for something outside.
The man in the room's eyes moved slightly. He quickly composed himself, wiped all expressions off his face, turned around and walked out of the secret room.
The person outside the secret room was trying to find the switch to open the secret room. Suddenly, he saw the door of the secret room suddenly opened. He was stunned and instinctively stretched his neck to see the situation in the secret room clearly. However, the man in black in the room moved quickly. Before the people outside could see clearly, he walked out and closed the door casually.
The secret room closed again, and everything fell silent again. The man in black looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and said in a calm voice, "Ji Yan, what are you doing here?"
The man called Ji Yan was tall and thin with a pale face. He was looking at the man in black with a raised eyebrow, and said with a half-smile: "Whatever your purpose is in coming here, so am I. The seal of the Ningshan headquarters has been disturbed, so I naturally want to come and see what's going on." At this point, Ji Yan smiled lazily, raised his eyes and said to the man in black: "I have heard that there is a secret room in the Lingdao headquarters with many treasures buried, but no one has found it for many years. It turns out it is in this place."
Ji Yan seemed very curious and asked with a smile, "It is said that there is a mysterious magic weapon in the secret room that is almost enough to compete with the entire Xuanqing Continent. Is it true?"
The man in black originally didn't want to pay attention to Ji Yan, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and looked up at him: "So you still believe this kind of nonsense?"
Ji Yan shrugged and didn't continue talking, but asked, "Did you find anything interesting in there?"
This time, the man in black did not respond to Ji Yan's words immediately. He lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Ji Yan couldn't help but raise her voice and asked again: "What's wrong?"
"I found something not very interesting." The man in black shook his head, his jaw tightly set and still expressionless. He turned and walked out, but his voice was clearly heard by Ji Yan, "Someone took away the evil black seal."
Hearing this, Ji Yan's smile froze instantly. He stared at the back of the man in black with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment.
It was not until a moment later that the man in black spoke again: "He's back."
