With that thought, the young master suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the study room. With Xiao Chen's vengeful personality, could it be … that Elder Nangong had already been killed?
Just as the young master's thoughts were running wild, someone suddenly knocked on the door and walked in without permission.
The young master turned around and saw that it was Elder Shen who was in a hurry. He did not wait for the young master to speak and immediately cupped his hands. With an uneasy expression, he reported, "Young master, according to our spies in the prefecture, Elder Nangong is on his way here. There is also a young man following him not too far away. According to our informant, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary!"
"He really came?" The young master stopped and muttered hatefully, "This old fart is really unreliable. He just has to emphasize how powerful he is. I knew that Xiao Chen would not be so easy to deal with!"
"Young master, then what should we do now?" Seeing the young master's expression change continuously, Elder Shen could not hold it in and asked.
After a moment of silence, the young master raised his head and ordered, "Immediately inform everyone in our residence to destroy all relevant evidence. Do not leave any traces, then retreat from the secret passage!"
"Understood, I will do it now!" Although Elder Shen did not know the young master's reason for doing this, he still nodded decisively and accepted the order.
Just as he took a few steps towards the door, Elder Shen suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "Young master, that little girl with the surname Cheng is currently in the prison cell in the garden of the residence. How do you think we should deal with her? Should I just kill her or bring her here? "
His fingers rhythmically tapped on the table a few times. As if he had made a decision, the young master solemnly ordered, "You don't have to worry about that little girl. I will personally arrange her whereabouts. Now, you should go and deal with other matters first! Once everyone in the residence has safely evacuated, find me at the entrance of the secret passage. Then, we will make the next plan. "
Although he did not know what the young master wanted to do with that little girl, Elder Shen did not dare to ask too much. He immediately responded and left to start arranging the evacuation of everyone in the residence.
The house that was originally peaceful suddenly began to boil. Everyone began to move. Some were busy destroying things, some were hurriedly packing up, and some were running around like headless flies. For a moment, the whole yard was in chaos, and people were in a complete mess.
Meanwhile, the young master stood at the door of the study and calmly glanced at it. Then, he silently left the study and walked towards a secluded path.
In the gloomy and gloomy cell, Cheng Mengying lowered her head and sat there gloomily. Her body was tightly bound by a rope that was filled with strange symbols and looked like a dumpling.
When Cheng Mengying had just been tied up by Elder Shen, she had tried to break free, but every time she tried to use her essence energy to break the ropes, the symbols on the ropes would emit a faint golden light, directly dispersing the essence energy that she had gathered in her body, and then it would return to silence.
After trying a few times, Cheng Mengying finally understood that the rope that was tied up on her body was not ordinary. It could use the strange symbols on it to suppress the essence energy of the person being tied up. Furthermore, with her Fiery Eyes, she had never failed before!
Needless to say, Cheng Mengying could guess that this was definitely the young master's bad idea. However, there was nothing she could do about this rope. She could only helplessly give up on the idea of escaping. Fortunately, other than being tied up and unable to move, there was a specialized servant girl to take care of everything else, so there was no inconvenience.
"Creak!"
The sound of rusty metal scraping against each other could be heard. The metal door of the cell was opened by someone.
Cheng Mengying, who was in a daze, looked up when she heard the sound. When she realized that the person who came was the young master, she couldn't help but glare at him hatefully. Then, she angrily turned her head away and put on an indifferent expression.
"Miss Cheng, you're living comfortably here. Every day, there are servants to serve you. Your days must be pretty good, right?" The young master stood in front of Cheng Mengying and smiled sinisterly.
"Whether it's comfortable or not, won't you know after a few days? Why are you asking me? "Cheng Mengying snorted coldly and retorted mercilessly.
The young master's expression turned ugly after being rebutted by Cheng Mengying. He simply bent over and picked up the rope that was tied around Cheng Mengying's body. He pulled her up and was about to drag her out of the door. He didn't forget to say viciously, "I thought that you were probably tired of this place, so I specially found a new place for you out of goodwill. Come with me!"
"I … don't want to! You … Where are you taking me? " Cheng Mengying was shocked. She couldn't help but be dragged out by the young master. She stumbled a few steps before she remembered to struggle with all her might.
"Let's go to a place first. I'll let you see some good things. Then, I'll bring you to a new cell to settle you down! Don't worry, the new place won't be worse than this fake mountain! "The young master turned around and bared his teeth at Cheng Mengying. He looked extremely terrifying.
"I'm not going! You … Let go of me! " Cheng Mengying struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail. She was still dragged out step by step by the young master.
Cheng Mengying was anxious and angry. She originally thought that when she was imprisoned, Xiao Chen would coincidentally find this place and rescue her. She didn't expect that after waiting for a few days, there would still be no trace of him. She couldn't help but curse the young master in her heart.
"Alright, this matter isn't up to you. You'd better follow me obediently!" The young master increased his strength and dragged Cheng Mengying out of the cell without any explanation. They passed through the corridor and out of the fake mountain.
Cheng Mengying originally thought that the young master would take her outside the house. She didn't expect that they would just circle around the fake mountain and arrive at the side of another secret door.
The young master looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one around, he pushed open the secret door and entered the dimly lit secret passage. Then, he closed the secret door casually. From the outside, not a single trace could be seen.
The two of them walked deeper into the secret passage. Cheng Mengying looked left and right at the secret passage. She realized that the surroundings were rather rough, but there were many signs of use. Moreover, the entire secret passage was very deep. Even after walking for a long time, they still couldn't reach the end.
The young master silently led Cheng Mengying forward until she felt that they had long left the house. When she didn't know where she was, the young master stopped at a fork in the road.
