Gu Qingluan paid no attention to his subtle movements, looking at Bai Mengning’s pale little face, her lips curled up, slowly counting, “One.”

“Two.”

Bai Mengning’s lips turned pale, but she didn’t make a sound.

“Three.”

Gu Qingluan sighed and raised the dagger.

A cold light pierced her eyes.

Yu Jingting couldn’t bear to watch and closed his eyes.

Bai Mengning stared wide-eyed at the dagger swiftly descending towards her wrist, her breath quickening, her mouth moving as if she were saying something.

Crack!

Blood burst from her slender and fair wrist.

The excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave.

Bai Mengning’s pupils contracted to their limit, and her body tensed like a bowstring pulled taut.

Gu Qingluan hesitated for a moment, looking at her face drained of color, and asked with a meaningful smile, “Are you willing to open the mechanism now?”

Bai Mengning was jolted awake by her voice. At that moment, her mind went blank, and all she saw was a white light in front of her, unable to see anything.

Now, gradually regaining her senses, she saw her own hand in her field of vision.

Bright red blood flowed from the wound, following the curve of her wrist and dropping to the ground.

In the silent garden, it was clearly audible.

Bai Mengning breathed rapidly, her eyes fixed on her own hand.

Her hand wasn’t severed!

The intense pain reminded her that she had indeed been injured.

Fortunately, it didn’t reach her bones, and her hand was still attached to her body.

“I’m running out of patience. If you agree, hurry and open the door to the secret chamber.”

The cold, impatient voice reached her ears.

Bai Mengning’s eyes showed signs of struggle.

She should have sdignity.

But she was genuinely scared; she didn’t want to becdisabled.

The underground area was the forbidden territory of the Bai family, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

However, even if they entered, there was no guarantee they could cout alive.

Perhaps the mechanisms inside could take their lives.

Seemingly having made a decision, Bai Mengning lifted her face to face Gu Qingluan, opened her mouth, and silently said, “My arcane power has been sealed.”

Gu Qingluan understood the lip-reading and could guess whose handiwork it was even with her toes.

She looked up at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan withdrew the pressure he had applied to Bai Mengning and stared at her with a sharp gaze.

If she dared to make any small movements, she would be immediately suppressed.

Bai Mengning knew she was no match for the other side and had no intention of resisting further.

She silently recited her cultivation method and injected her arcane power into the groove with a special pattern.

Click.

A crisp sound.

The artificial mountain slowly moved, revealing a stone staircase leading underground in front of them.

Gu Qingluan tapped Bai Mengning twice.

Bai Mengning’s eyes darkened.

She found that her arcane power had been sealed and was unusable.

Gu Qingluan pushed her forward, and she followed.

Feng Tianlan followed behind them.

Yu Jingting wanted to follow, and Gu Qingluan turned to him and said, “You stay outside and watch. If we haven’t cout in half an hour, go outside and call for help.”

Yu Jingting thought of the experts guarding outside the Bai family mansion and nodded.

There were about twenty steps in the stone staircase, and below was an open space. The walls on both sides were embedded with glowing stones, and in front was a seemingly endless passage.

A faint, elusive fragrance wafted in the air.

As soon as they descended, Gu Qingluan took a detoxifying pill and gave one to Feng Tianlan as well.

Although her body had been conditioned for many years and was almost immune to all poisons, it was always good to have an extra layer of protection just in case.

Feng Tianlan took the detoxifying pill she handed over, and a fleeting smile crossed his eyes.

Bai Mengning walked ahead without looking at them. She felt much calmer than before, especially when she smelled the lingering fragrance in the air, which gave her a sense of tranquility.

This secret passage was longer than she had imagined, and it sloped downward.

Gu Qingluan estimated that their current location was several floors below the ground.

The further they went, the stronger the fragrance became.

Bai Mengning’s pace gradually quickened.

Feng Tianlan and Gu Qingluan maintained the sdistance from her.

Bai Mengning listened to the footsteps that were neither too close nor too far and couldn’t help but wonder.

After all this time, why hadn’t they shown any signs of poisoning?

Could it be that the poison had becineffective?

She blinked her eyes.

After a while, the group walked out of the secret passage and entered a stone chamber.

In the stone chamber, there were three doors.

Each door had a single character carved on it.

They were respectively marked as (Life), “£E” (Death), and (Nothingness).

Without hesitation, Bai Mengning chose the door labeled (Life).

Swish!

The Golden Silkworm Thread flew out and wrapped around her.

Bai Mengning couldn’t take another step forward, so she turned back to look at Gu Qingluan, puzzled.

Gu Qingluan smiled. “This way, we can feel more at ease. Keep going.”

Bai Mengning’s face turned as dark as ink.

This woman was incredibly cunning!

“Let’s go. Is there something wrong with this door?” Gu Qingluan, noticing Bai Mengning’s hesitation, asked with suspicion.

Bai Mengning pursed her lips.

She couldn’t speak, so what was the point of asking her?

If she has the guts, let her talk!

“Oh, I forgot you can’t speak. It doesn’t matter. If there’s any reason for death to cknocking, you’ll be the first to be sacrificed.” Gu Qingluan showed no intention of facilitating communication.

Bai Mengning’s lips twitched.

What a malicious woman!
