Qing Ning stepped into the courtyard lightly and carefully looked around, not missing any corner. However, after a careful search, nothing unusual was found. She thought to herself: Maybe the clues are hidden in the house?

With full of suspicion, Qing Ning stepped into a slightly dilapidated room. This room had obviously not been repaired for a long time. The walls were peeling off, the floor was uneven, and there was even a huge hole in the window, letting the cold wind howl in.

The moment Qing Ning stepped into the room, Mingshu, who had always been on high alert, immediately felt something. She clenched the sharp dagger in her hand, her eyes closed tightly, and her whole body tensed, like a cheetah ready to attack. As long as the visitor makes the slightest move, she will swing the knife at him without hesitation to protect her own safety.

Qing Ning, who was concentrating on searching for clues, was suddenly drawn to the bed - there was a young and beautiful girl lying there. However, Qing Ning was keenly aware that the girl's expression seemed a little strange. This subtle change instantly aroused her alert: It turned out that this woman who seemed to be sleeping peacefully was actually pretending to sleep!

So Qing Ning stepped forward without hesitation and walked straight to the bed. Her eyes were firm and sharp, as if she could see through all falsehood and deception. He stretched out his right hand and aimed directly at the corner of the bed, trying to uncover the secrets hidden by this woman and see what she wanted.

As Qing Ning gradually approached, Ming Shu's heartbeat became more intense while lying on the bed, and tension surged into his heart like a tide. She could clearly feel the other person's breath approaching step by step, and her breathing began to become rapid. When that hand was about to touch him, Mingshu finally couldn't bear it any longer and decided not to pretend to be asleep.

In an instant, Mingshu quickly raised the sharp dagger in his hand and stabbed Qing Ning with lightning speed! This sudden attack was full of killing intent and determination, but Qing Ning, who had been prepared for it, did not panic.

She reacted quickly, turned her arm slightly, and easily avoided the fatal blow. At the same time, the other hand tightly grasped Mingshu's knife-holding wrist like an iron vice, preventing him from moving.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here! My father is the lord of this city. If you know the truth, let me go immediately!" Mingshu's hands were tightly controlled. Although she struggled desperately, everything was in vain. . The opponent's power was too strong, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

"Then who are you? Why do you live here? And why do you want to assassinate me?" Qing Ning's eyes were as sharp as a sword, looking straight at the strange little girl in front of him. Faced with such questioning, the little girl was obviously at a loss.

"I...I am the second young lady here...my father will come over to see me later. When he sees you doing this to me, he will never forgive you!" the little girl stammered. , with a hint of fear and helplessness in his voice. She tried to use her father's majesty to scare Qing Ning, hoping to make him afraid.

However, Qing Ning was not intimidated by her words. Instead, she sneered: "Humph, if your father really cared about you, he wouldn't let you live in such a dilapidated yard. I have seen the eldest lady." The yard is many times better than here."

After saying that, she used a little force on her hands to pull Mingshu tighter, making it impossible for her to break free.

When the other party said such words, the girl's eyes dimmed slightly, but this dimness was fleeting, as if it had never appeared before. However, none of this escaped Qing Ning's keen eyes, and she thought to herself: It really is so!

At this moment, Mingshu beside him suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart. She couldn't help but think to herself: Even an outsider could notice that her father's attitude towards her and her eldest sister was different. Is it really just because that woman was good at pleasing her father? Thinking of this, Ming Shu couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his heart.

"What is your purpose here?" Ming Shu cheered up and said coldly, "Now that the matter is done, leave quickly! This place is not a place where people like you should stay for a long time!" In his words, Full of unabashed disgust and revulsion.

"I know there are several secret rooms in the City Lord's Mansion. As long as you tell me the secret rooms you know, I will leave immediately." Qing Ning stared closely at the girl in front of her, with a firm light shining in her eyes. She secretly thought to herself: This girl is the second young lady of the city lord's palace. She must know the secret rooms hidden in the dark, right?

As expected, when she heard that the other party only wanted to ask about the location of the secret room, and was not trying to harm her father, the girl's tense expression instantly relaxed. She said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll tell you, but I only know two secret rooms." There was a kind of frankness and sincerity in her words.

Qing Ning listened quietly to every word the girl said and remembered it firmly. However, when she heard the girl tell the specific locations of the two secret rooms, she couldn't help but be slightly startled. I secretly marveled: Is this the so-called coincidence? My previous guess was so accurate!

"Okay, I understand, I'm leaving. Although you are the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion, it can be seen from your current cost of food and clothing that your father obviously does not take you to heart. He is a ruthless person. People, so you’d better plan a way out for yourself as soon as possible.”

Before Qing Ning left, she left these words with sincerity, hoping that the inexperienced little girl in front of her would listen.

Following the two directions mentioned by the second lady just now, Qing Ning successfully found Mrs. Liu who was imprisoned here. When she saw the other party's miserable condition, even though she was as knowledgeable as she was, she couldn't help but gasp - Mrs. Liu was covered in scars, not only her hand tendons and hamstrings were severed, but also her face. The word "bitch" was also carved with a sharp knife! Its miserable appearance is really unbearable to look at.

After making sure that she still had a breath left, he turned and left without hesitation. After all, this woman had done many evil things and killed many innocent people. Qing Ning has always been kind-hearted, but it is naturally impossible to save such a sinful person. From this point of view, the end she ended up with today may be the retribution sent to her by God!

After leaving this place, Qing Ning came to another more secret room. As soon as he stepped into it, he saw a girl closing her eyes tightly and lying quietly on the ground, apparently in a deep coma.

She slowly walked to the unconscious girl and knelt down, gently arranging her slightly messy hair. As the girl's face gradually appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized that the unconscious woman was actually Zhuo Yi's sister!

Next, he put his fingers on the girl's wrist and carefully checked her pulse. The result was surprising: the girl actually fainted from hunger! For a moment, Qing Ning couldn't help feeling speechless.

Since the person in front of him is Zhuo Yi's sister, no matter why she fell into a coma, he must find a way to rescue her from the predicament! Only in this way can the two brothers and sisters be reunited!

Qing Ning never hesitated at all, and immediately made a decision and hugged the girl tightly into her arms. You know, as a powerful and powerful immortal cultivator, it is easy to pick up such a weak and light girl.

During this late-night visit to the city lord's mansion, all the goals she hoped to achieve had been achieved. The next step is to find Ye Zhao as soon as possible and escape safely with him.

Qing Ning searched around and finally found Ye Zhao, only to see him standing motionless waiting for his return. Only after seeing Qing Ning did he emerge from the darkness.

"You're back, how's the situation?" Ye Zhao asked anxiously.

However, Qing Ning did not answer directly, but said in a hurry: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's get away quickly and talk in detail when we get back!"

"Okay!" Ye Zhao responded without hesitation.

As a result, Qing Ning led Ye Zhao and quickly escaped from the place through the small door on the side of the city lord's mansion, and rushed straight towards the small woods by the lake.

Along the way, Ye Zhao followed closely, but the pace seemed quite strenuous. It wasn't until he saw a quiet courtyard not far ahead that the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground - after all, being here meant that he was temporarily safe.

At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard, and Fang Yuanyuan, Ouyang Jingjing and Zhuo Yi stepped out of the room to see what was going on. When Zhuo Yi saw that Qing Ning was holding the sister he had been worried about for a long time, his emotions were instantly aroused and uncontrollable; you must know that this sister is his only remaining close relative in the world!

"How could my sister be like this?" Zhuo Yi looked worried, fearing that something bad might happen to her sister.

"Don't worry, she's fine. It's just that she fainted due to excessive hunger. Those guys must have been so careless that they didn't even prepare enough food after they took her away. As a result, she was so hungry that she fainted." Qing Ning comforted her. road.
