Xiahou Zongxing came to the bookshelf where the vase was placed, twisted the vase, and heard a "boom".

A secret door in the wing slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

Xiahou Zongxing made a gesture of invitation, "It's very safe inside, and no one will find out if we talk."

Ni Taowan stared at him for a few seconds, "You witches should avoid unnecessary movements."

"Don't worry, we in the Wu Clan are still very disciplined and will not attack our allies." Xiahou Zongxing almost patted his chest to assure her.

Ni Taowan looked at the other party's confident expression, then she stepped into the tunnel wearing her embroidered shoes.

Xiahou Zongxing then entered the tunnel.

Nangong Wan'er hid behind the curtain and watched them until their figures disappeared.

"Sure enough, the master is really a member of the Wu Sect."

She murmured to herself, her brows tightly furrowed as if locked together.

She couldn't help but recall that when Xu Qiu first moved into the Qingluan Valley courtyard, she hid under the osmanthus tree, but was still easily discovered by Xu Qiu.

Now, she sneaked into her master's room, and the two of them didn't even notice her.

"Is that guy's strength stronger than that of Master and Third Uncle?"

Nangong Wan'er talked to herself.

I thought so in my heart.

But his footsteps followed briskly.

Xiahou Zongxing seemed to be worried that Ni Taowan would be wary of him, so the door of the secret room was not closed, allowing Nangong Wan'er to enter easily.

When she got down the tunnel, she could see a huge basement filled with huge medicine cabinets and bookcases, which surrounded the secret room. She could also see rusty weapon racks with various long-forgotten hidden weapons on them.

What shocked Nangong Wan'er the most was that the books from the library were neatly arranged on a bookshelf.

She could now conclude that her master was the culprit behind the fire in the library.

The books in the library were stolen by Xiahou Zongxing.

At this time, Xiahou Zongxing's voice came from the secret room, "I think the old master can't hold on for much longer. Now the foot of the mountain is full of our Wumen people, just waiting for the signal to go up the mountain."

After a moment, Ni Taowan's voice also sounded, "What's in it for you to help me?"

"Benefits? Of course, Qingluan Valley must obey the orders of the Wumen in the future, and your library must be shared with our Wumen."

Then there was silence in the secret room for a while.

"I can promise you." Ni Taowan's voice sounded again, but she smacked her lips and said, "If Wan'er knew that you were from the Wu Sect, she would probably be very sad."

"Hehe, if she knew that I was the one who killed her whole family, she would be even more sad, but she won't know that."

Xiahou Zongxing's malicious laughter came from the secret room.

Ni Taowan frowned slightly when she heard this and asked in confusion, "Are you going to kill her?"

"Haha, I love her so much, how could I bear to kill her?"

"You still love her?"

"What are you looking at? I originally kept her by my side just for the sake of the secret of the Divine Jade. However, now that I realize she is really good, I want to keep her by my side forever, even if it means she becomes a canary."

Xiahou Zongxing's voice was a bit arrogant.

When Ni Taowan heard this, she spat quietly and cursed, "What a pervert!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, we are working together, and I am really hurt by what you said... You take your position as the leader, and I take mine, so let's not bother each other."

The secret room was not big, and Nangong Wan'er could hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

She widened her exquisite eyes in disbelief, her pink lips slightly parted, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her hands subconsciously clenched into fists.

Master’s words completely terrified her.

She just wanted to escape now.

When Nangong Wan'er just raised her foot, she accidentally stepped on the dried herbs scattered on the ground around her, making a 'crackling' sound.

"who!"

Xiahou Zongxing's ears moved slightly, and he reacted immediately, yelled, and rushed out.

She also rushed towards the door at a very fast speed, but unfortunately, as soon as she left the secret room, a black shadow appeared in front of her.

Xiahou Zongxing kicked hard, and Nangong Wan'er blocked it with her arms, but she was still inferior to her master in strength and was pushed back four or five steps.

"I didn't expect it to be you, my disciple." Xiahou Zongxing's face darkened. "You shouldn't eavesdrop. Perhaps this is better for you."

Nangong Wan'er sneered, "So you kept it a secret from me and killed my entire family, but now you are pretending to accept me as your apprentice, Xiahou Zongxing, you are so cunning!"

At this time, Ni Taowan, who was standing at the entrance of the secret passage, clicked her tongue twice, "Your apprentice already knows everything. How are you going to deal with it? Do you need my help?"

What she meant was to kill Nangong Wan'er.

After all, Nangong Wan'er knew too much.

But Xiahou Zongxing said, "I can handle it, you don't need to intervene."

As he spoke, he had already leaped forward and threw a black fist towards Nangong Wan'er's shoulder.

Wan'er dodged immediately upon seeing this and kicked Xiahou Zongxing sideways with her leg.

But the other party just chuckled, "I taught you, and I am familiar with every move and form. Do you think you can resist?"

After saying that, he raised his hand to break Wan'er's leg kick, but the black fist hit Wan'er's shoulder instead.

Suddenly, a trace of poison flowed down her shoulder and entered Nangong Wan'er's body.

Soon, Wan'er felt dizzy, and the meridians in her body seemed to be blocked by pebbles and could not flow at all. Her strength declined rapidly.

He covered his shoulder with his other hand, and his breathing gradually became disordered.

Soon, she knelt weakly on the floor.

"This is the poison I made especially for you, but don't worry, this poison will only temporarily seal your strength." Xiahou Zongxing held her chin with one hand while speaking, looking at her delicate face. His other hand couldn't help but want to destroy it, but he still stroked the face slowly, "You are really a beautiful beauty!"

Xiahou Zongxing's eyes were full of greed.

Then he grabbed Nangong Wan'er's arm, dragged her into the secret room, and locked her in a carefully prepared cage.

"You bastard, you will never get me!" Nangong Wan'er gritted her teeth and stared at Xiahou Zongxing with hatred in her eyes.

Xiahou Zongxing said, "You will give in sooner or later. After all, only I can keep you alive."

He gave a joking smile, not looking like a teacher.

Ni Taowan looked at the cage Xiahou Zongxing had built specifically for his female apprentice and clicked her tongue again, "What a pervert."

When Xiahou Zongxing came over, Ni Taowan took two steps back in disgust.

The latter smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, we are just partners. I have no improper thoughts about you. After all, you are not cute at all. It is the matchmaker who can satisfy my desires. She is more beautiful and cute than you. If I destroy her with my hands, I can get more pleasure!"

"You...!" Ni Taowan gritted her teeth and finally blurted out two words, "Pervert!"

…

at the same time.

Xu Qiu was invited to Honghua Palace again.

At this time, Yin Hongniang was already sitting in meditation on the bed.

Seeing Xu Qiu standing there in a daze, she was furious: "What are you still doing there? Lock the door and come here quickly~!"

Xu Qiu had no choice but to nod, reached out to bolt the door, and walked briskly to the bed.

It was still the same soft mattress, the scent of incense, and the pleasant fragrance of Yin Hongniang's body. When the two of them touched slightly, they felt the soft touch of her body.

Hongniang stared at him warily, but moved closer to him sincerely.

Of course, her soft lips were still firm as she said, "I'm telling you, you are not allowed to mess around this time. Just concentrate on your training."

"Well... that's not a problem, but the question is how did your hand get into my clothes?"

Xu Qiu looked at her with contempt.

Hongniang blushed for a moment, then said angrily: "Undressing is for cultivation!"
