She turned her wrist and the axe came down hard, hitting a round piece of wood in front of her.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the tree cracked, and the broken end was as smooth as a mirror.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and the laughter they had been laughing at stopped abruptly.
Meng Wan ignored everyone's reactions. She raised the axe again and chopped the wood again and again. Her movements became faster and more powerful, as if she was tireless.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The dull sound of impact echoed in the backyard, beating on everyone's heartbeat again and again, making people feel creepy.
The older servant snorted coldly, forced himself to say a few polite words, and then left with everyone.
The crisp sound of the axe breaking through wood echoed in the yard for a long time, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sawdust.
Meng Wan put away the axe and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. She adapted well to her new identity.
On the other hand, Li Yuanyuan's face became paler and paler, and she looked uneasy.
"Senior Sister Meng, we're all about to be expelled from the upper realm, and you...how come you're still so calm?"
Li Yuanyuan paused, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"There's been such a big mess in the Weapon Pavilion. Several of the young lady's beloved weapons have been damaged. Once the investigation results come out, I'm afraid we'll be thrown into the cave, never to be able to rise again!"
Seeing Li Yuanyuan so uneasy, Meng Wan comforted her, "Senior Sister Li, you worry too much."
Meng Wan spoke calmly, as if she didn't take the matter to heart.
“We are Sequence, even if there is trouble in the Weapon Pavilion, we will not be punished to be sent to the Cave Heaven.
Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us, so just wait patiently."
Li Yuanyuan heard this, but she was not relieved.
What sequence? That’s just people from the Canglan Realm flattering themselves.
They are slaves!
So many weapons were lost in the weapons pavilion. Miss Six will definitely find someone to take the blame this time.
She silently stepped aside, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
That night, after finishing a day's work, Li Yuanyuan clenched the jade slip in her sleeve and hurried towards Consul Tang's residence.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and went forward to knock on the door.
"Consul Tang, my disciple Li Yuanyuan wishes to see you."
A moment later, the courtyard door creaked open and Consul Tang's rather plump figure appeared at the door.
"What is it?"
Li Yuanyuan told the whole story in detail, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
"After much thought, I think only the Consul can help me with this matter."
After hearing this, Consul Tang frowned.
After a moment's silence, she slowly said, "This matter is of great importance and beyond my control. You should just wait for the Sixth Young Lady's decision."
"But……"
Li Yuanyuan wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Consul Tang.
"I have something important to attend to, please leave."
Li Yuanyuan's heart sank. Consul Tang's attitude made her realize that it was impossible to expect him to help.
She asked unwillingly, "Then...will I be implicated in this matter? Will I be sent back to the cave?"
If she had never opened her eyes and seen the real world, she would not have been afraid of the darkness.
Consul Tang's eyes flickered as he spoke vaguely, "This matter has not yet been determined. Anything is possible."
Li Yuanyuan's heart sank completely, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She staggered out of the yard and saw darkness before her eyes.
In despair, she suddenly thought of Zhou Tong.
I heard that Zhou Tong is now doing very well in the Fifth Young Master's guard team.
Maybe he could help himself.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanyuan immediately cheered up and walked towards Zhou Tong's residence.
When Zhou Tong saw Li Yuanyuan, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"Junior Sister Li, why are you here?"
Li Yuanyuan told Zhou Tong about her predicament with a hint of tears in her tone.
"Brother, we are all from the Xuanyin Sect, you have to help me. As long as you help me this time, I will never frown if I need your help in the future!"
After listening to this, Zhou Tong also felt that Li Yuanyuan was really in trouble this time.
"This matter is very difficult, and I cannot guarantee that I can help you. However, I can help you to speak to the Fifth Young Master."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanyuan tightly grasped Zhou Tong's hand and said, "Brother, please help me!"
Zhou Tong patted Li Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
On the second day, Zhou Tong found an opportunity and told the Fifth Young Master everything about Li Yuanyuan.
After listening to this, the Fifth Young Master touched his chin.
"I have some impression of this Li Yuanyuan. Since you said she was a capable person, it would be a shame to send her away like this."
Zhou Tong immediately understood what the Fifth Young Master meant, "The Fifth Young Master is wise."
The fifth young master scolded Zhou Tong with a smile, then called his trusted guard A Da and gave him instructions.
"Go to Sixth Sister's courtyard and tell her that I've taken a fancy to a maid in her courtyard. And give her this box."
Ah Da took the order and left. Soon he arrived at the courtyard of the Sixth Miss Wu Chujun and presented her with the Fifth Young Master's words and the brocade box.
Wu Chujun opened the brocade box, smelled the fragrance of the elixir, and chuckled.
"Fifth brother is quite generous."
Wu Chujun played with the pill in his hand, "Which maid did he take a fancy to?"
Ah Da replied respectfully, "Sixth Miss, it's Li Yuanyuan."
"Li Yuanyuan?"
Wu Chujun sneered and immediately realized that Li Yuanyuan was afraid of being punished and was looking for a way out for herself.
