Outside the window, the top student was leaning against the wall, his eyes quietly watching everything inside the house through the slightly opened window.

Her heart was beating like a drum, and her face was flushed with shame because of the private scene she had peeped at. It seemed that even her breathing had become cautious, for fear of making the slightest sound and disturbing the unknown and subtle atmosphere in the house.

As the night deepens, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling all the nervous and curious faces.

She didn't know why she lost her composure like that, and she couldn't look away.

Inside the house, the flickering candlelight illuminated the guardian's disheveled hair and clothes. Her appearance was so different from her usual calm and composed image; she seemed so helpless and fragile.

The collar of her shirt was half open, revealing her delicate skin. Her beautiful hair was scattered on her shoulders as if it had been ravaged by a strong wind, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks, showing a bit of undisguised embarrassment and misery.

As time passed, the candlelight in the house finally went out and everything returned to calm.

It was not until the morning light of the next day penetrated the clouds and spread across the entire Taoist temple that Zhang Fan walked out of the house refreshed, his face filled with satisfaction and joy, as if he had experienced a wonderful dream.

Inside the house, the guardian was still lying on the mat, his eyes closed, as if he didn't even have the strength to open them.

Her figure looked particularly lonely and helpless in the morning light, in stark contrast to the image of the cold-blooded guardian last night.

Outside the mountain top.

The top student turned and looked at Zhang Fan.

"She said she was just a maid and there was not much benefit in taking her."

Zhang Fan said.

maid?

That's really possible. Who would directly use the trump card?

It's obvious that there is a guardian organization inside that won't let anyone in.

Anyone who dares to see him will be killed.

Their strength is above that of ordinary people, or rather, above that of the people outside.

But they happened to meet this man, who was their natural nemesis.

"Do you feel any changes?"

Regardless, the person has been captured.

It's pretty normal, nothing fancy.

He was satisfied, but the other one was miserable.

"I feel like I can sense the scent of something inside."

Zhang Fan didn't know how to describe it.

Sensing the atmosphere inside?

That's right.

"It seems that the benefits are not much, but it is not bad. If you can take down the guardian core inside, you can get more benefits."

The top student said again.

core?

Now that I have touched her people, she wishes she could kill me.

A maid is so powerful. If the core comes, won’t I be dead?

"You made her pay the price this time. She won't act so easily. She's also afraid of being taken advantage of."

The top student rolled his eyes and looked over, as if he knew what Zhang Fan was thinking.

"So, I can focus on other things?"

Zhang Fan asked.

"Well, this guardian organization, they dare not act rashly."

The top student said with certainty.

Since they are guardians, there must be few of them, and now the price of one has been paid.

Zhang Fan nodded. He had been busy with the Guardian's affairs recently and had neglected many things in the outside world. He had to get back to the main point.

The guardian left the towering mountain in a panic. Every step she took seemed extremely heavy, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She knew that this escape was not accidental, but was done deliberately by Zhang Fan in order to get her to go back and inform him.

This "gift" was undoubtedly an irony for her, because she knew very well that she had failed to protect that sacred land and had let down her master's expectations.

A few days later, she overcame numerous obstacles and finally arrived at this secret place forgotten by the world.

This place is shrouded in thick miasma all year round, as if it is a barrier deliberately set up by nature to separate the hustle and bustle of the outside world from the tranquility here.

Amidst the miasma, there was a faint ancient and mysterious aura that made people feel a palpitation involuntarily.

The guardian maid walked carefully in the fog. Her steps were light and cautious, for fear of disturbing the tranquility here.

Finally, she came to a mysterious ruin hidden deep in the miasma.

This relic looks very old, and the stone walls are engraved with intricate runes and patterns, as if it is the remains of some ancient civilization.

The entrance to the ruins was blocked by a huge stone door, but the stone door opened silently at this moment, as if waiting for her arrival.

She lowered her head and walked in with heavy steps. The interior of the ruins was dark and deep, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the cracks in the stone wall, barely illuminating her way forward.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, because she knew that an unknown trial was waiting for her.

As she walked deeper into the ruins, a man in black slowly walked out of the shadows.

She was wearing a tight nightgown, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

She wore a half-covered black mask on her face, revealing only a pair of deep and sharp eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making people dare not look directly at them.

The maid lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "I failed." Her voice echoed in the ruins, sounding particularly desolate.

When the man in black heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that this maid could at least bring some good news, but he didn't expect her to come back in such a mess, and the first thing she said was "I failed." This made him re-evaluate Zhang Fan's strength and wisdom.

She slowly walked up to the maid and asked in a low voice, "What happened? How did you fail so miserably?"

The maid trembled as she told the man in black everything that happened on the mountain top.

She recounted how cunning and powerful Zhang Fan was, and how she was repeatedly frustrated by him and eventually forced to flee.

Her voice was full of despair and helplessness, as if she was telling of an irreversible fate.

After listening to the maid's narration, the man in black was silent for a moment.

He had to make a new plan because Zhang Fan's strength was obviously beyond his expectations.

I began to think about how to turn the situation around and take the initiative back into my own hands.

I went out, failed, and got bullied.

If you go out and cause trouble and fail, death is not that scary, but you will be bullied by others.

That's unacceptable.

If you are bullied, all the secrets here will be revealed.

The so-called guardian has no value anymore.

Therefore, we cannot go out and cause trouble for the time being. We still need to improve our strength first.

I still underestimated that leader.

He is not as simple as he seems.

After looking at the maid, he sighed and said, "Go take a bath first."
