Chapter 55: The Bet

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince," Zong Yu said to Wu Tianjun, "you can't find any news from me. ”

"Miss Zong doesn't want to tell Wu?" Wu Tianxiao asked.

"No," Zong Yu smiled, "The little girl really doesn't know. ”

"Miss Zong, do you know that the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate are both powerful forces in the rivers and lakes, what if they join forces to deal with your Liantian Alliance?" Wu Tianxiao said.

"What can I do?" Zong Yu said coldly, "I'm just a little girl, Your Highness, don't embarrass me anymore." This kind of question should be asked to the Alliance Leader. ”

Zong Yu turned around and said that he didn't want to talk to Wu Tianxiao anymore.

"Big brother, I can't ask anything from her, let's go." Wu Tianjun said.

"I hope that Qiushui will gain more than us." Wu Tianxiao said.

The two came to the demon dojo in the Liantian Alliance and saw that Zong Pu was cultivating not far away.

"Miss Zong." Wu Tianjun took the initiative to say, "Are you free?" ”

"Ah, Lord Prince," Zong Xuan turned to face them.

"Miss Zong, if the Jingkong Gate and the Dragon Palace form an alliance, what impact will it have on your Liantian Alliance?" Wu Tianjun said straight to the point.

"Ah, this ......" Zong Pu pondered and meditated, but turned out to be a little embarrassed, "This kind of question, the prince should ask the alliance leader." ”

"However, I just want to know your opinion, Miss Zong." Wu Tianjun insisted.

Zong Pu lowered his head, and then raised his head again: "I think...... Lian Tianmeng's strength can't resist the Dragon Palace, if you add the Jingkong Gate, it will be a real crisis. ”

"So, can Miss Zong persuade the Youth Alliance Master not to use the Liantian Alliance to fight against the Dragon Palace and the Jingkong Gate alone?" Wu Tianxiao said, "In other words, can you ask him to accept new and other powers?" ”

"You mean...... Aligned with you? Zong Pu asked.

"It's not just us, there should be others." Wu Tianjun said.

Zong Pu's eyes showed trepidation, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Your Excellency, the prince......"

"Don't call me that." Wu Tianjun said.

"The Emperor...... Wu Gongzi, the leader of the Youth League is very stubborn, and the only one who can convince him is Lan Xianting. ”

"Miss Lan," Wu Tianxiao thought for a moment, "she has already given us purple pearls, isn't that enough to explain the problem?" ”

"But Miss Lan's whereabouts are unknown now, her life and death are uncertain, and Brother Song and the alliance leader are all in a hurry!" Zong Pu said anxiously.

"It seems that Miss Lan is very important to them." Wu Tianjun said.

Zong Pu said without hesitation: "Of course! Miss Lan is the lover of the alliance leader. ”

"In other words, things will only progress if you find Miss Lan?" Wu Tianxiao said.

"And Brother Song is Lan Xianting's childhood sweetheart," a trace of throbbing flashed in Zong Pu's eyes, "She is missing, he is very worried, it is natural." ”

"I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship...... Wu Tianjun said, his eyes looked into the distance, and then returned to Zong Pu, "Miss Zong, are you cultivating?" ”

"yes. My ability to communicate with demons has been upgraded. Zong Pu said, "In other words, you can bring the golden girl to me at any time, if you need to communicate with the demon in her body." ”

"It's amazing." Wu Tianjun smiled, and his gaze moved into the distance again.

"Qiushui, just use this purple pearl to explore," Jin Jiao followed behind Jing Qiushui, and the two came to a secret room.

Jing Qiushui put the purple pearl into the groove on the door, and the door opened automatically.

"This is the fourth secret room we've opened." Qiushui said this and walked into the door first.

"Yikes!" Jin Jiao shouted in fright.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a bat." Qiushui said.

A swarm of bats flew out the moment the door opened.

"Looks like no one has been to this place in a long time." Qiushui looked at the dust-covered furniture, and the cobwebs in the corners.

"Hmm......" Jin Jiao suddenly covered her heart tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiushui asked hurriedly.

"I ...... My heart hurts...... "Jin Jiao's face turned pale, "Ah, my blood is boiling...... This must be...... It feels like ......."

"Gillian?" Qiushui hugged her worriedly.

"It's a magic ...... It's surging in my body......" Jin Jiao barely finished speaking, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

"No, no, I can't walk......" Jin Jiao gasped with difficulty, and Qiushui helped her to the nearest chair and sat down.

"You go in...... I'm sitting right here. ”

"Then you can do it alone?"

"Yes...... In order to...... You're going to ......."

"You lean against the wall and rest for a while, sit still." After Qiushui finished speaking, he immediately walked into the room.

In this closed secret room, candles are lit, the candlelight is flickering, the shadows falling on the wall are strange, and the sound of the wind coming from the door is like a human wail, which makes people creepy.

Jing Qiushui saw mysterious characters carved on the wall, but he didn't know what it meant.

Deep in the room, there is a mahogany cabinet covered with a thick layer of dust.

Jing Qiushui tried to open the cabinet, but it was locked.

Jing Qiushui came to the bookshelf against the wall on the right-hand side, which was full of dusty and old books. She saw only one book that had no dust on it.

She reached out and picked up the book.

At this point, the second layer of the bookshelf automatically separates from the middle, revealing the wall. The wall automatically pulled open left and right, revealing a rectangular hole in which it was pitch black.

Jing Qiushui took a candle from the side, and with the help of the candle flame, looked into the hole.

In the mouth of the cave lay a delicate little book, the size of the palm of a hand.

Jing Qiushui carefully took out the small book.

She flipped through the little book and read it by candlelight.

When she had finished reading it, she seemed to understand something, and went back to the cupboard.

"So...... This cabinet is not locked with a key at all. Qiushui stared at the cabinet as if something would pop out of it.

Then, she returned to the door and found Jin Jiao sitting there.

"Gillian, I need you."

"Autumn water?" Gillian still looked like she was still breaking out in a cold sweat.

"How are you feeling?"

"Very weak...... Something seems to have swelled up in my body......"

"Can you move around?"

"It should ...... Can ......"

Qiushui carried Jin Jiao to the cabinet.

"This cabinet is not locked by ordinary locks." Qiushui said to Jin Jiao, "It's locked by magic." Do you think you can cast a spell? ”

"Let him open this cabinet?" Jin Jiao almost didn't stand still, "Uh...... You can try. You stand farther away. ”

Qiushui stood at the door, and Jin Jiao opened her arms. After a short while, there was a noise in the cabinet.

"That should be fine...... Jin Jiao said, "yes...... No wonder I don't feel good, it turns out that this place itself is full of demonic energy. ”

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Well, it's much better than just now, it turns out that the power of the demon is released, and it will have a buffering effect......"

Jing Qiushui opened the first drawer of the cabinet, and it was empty.

When she opened the second drawer, inside was a short jade sword.

Jing Qiushui picked up the jade sword and said to Jin Jiao: "Let's go, this sword should be able to help us." ”

"Is that okay?"

"Miss Lan gave us the purple pearl, which means that she intended for us to find the treasures in these secret rooms."

After coming out of the fourth secret room that was opened, Jin Jiao immediately felt better again.

"Now, I'm going to take these four treasures found from the secret roomβ€”jade bracelets, agate necklaces, wood carved gold toads, and jade swordsβ€”and go to Miss Lan."

"That is, where are Long Yuan and Yu Sheng?"

Jing Qiushui nodded.

Jin Jiao said: "These treasures are actually sealed with magical power. ”

"Miss Lan wants us to find them, they should be useful to her."

Jing Qiushui and Jin Jiao walked out of the Liantian Alliance.

"Gillian, are you sure you're okay?"

"Well, I'm fine now."

"I know Yu Sheng, that guy...... Leave it to me. Qiushui said.

"Then I, as the spokesperson of the Qilin Palace, will go to Long Yuan." Jin Jiao said.

"Let's go together, if they're still together, we'll be able to find Miss Lan."

Jin Jiao and Qiushui came to the Bamboo Forest Road again, and happened to meet Yusheng.

"Ah, isn't this Miss Jing?" Yu Sheng said in surprise.

"Exactly the person I'm looking for." Qiushui said lightly.

"Do you know where Long Yuan is?" Jin Jiao asked.

The joy in Yu Sheng's eyes was fleeting in an instant, but he still said very politely: "Dragon Palace Master, you are now walking towards Liantian Alliance." ”

Jin Jiao rushed back to Lian Tianmeng.

When only Qiushui and Yusheng were left, Yusheng said: "Miss Jing, I've been thinking about you teaching me to play the piano these days, can you ...... again?"

"Yes," Qiushui interrupted him, "but you have to tell me where Lan Xianting is." ”

Long Yuan had been waiting outside the Liantian Alliance for a while.

"Isn't this the Dragon Palace Master?" Song Wei walked out, "What do you have to do?" ”

"I'm here to find the Ying girl who came out of the Manchun Building."

Song Wei sighed and said, "Ying Lingyan said that she doesn't want to see you. ”

Long Yuan's smile was kept perfectly: "She will come out." Tell her that as long as she is willing to go with me, I will hand Miss Lan back unscathed. ”

Song Wei's eyes widened, and he walked into the Liantian Alliance again.

At this time, Jin Jiao arrived.

"Dragon Palace Master!" Jin Jiao shouted.

"Golden Girl?" Long Yuan frowned slightly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ...... I'd like to know what you and Yu Sheng talked about. ”

Long Yuan smiled meaninglessly: "Oh? But since you're here......"

Ying Lingyan walked out of the Liantian Alliance.

"Miss Ying, please come with me." Long Yuan said to her.

"Dragon Palace Master, I have rejected you many times in Manchun Tower, why are you still here?"

"Miss Ying, don't say anything superfluous." Long Yuan said with a smile in his eyes.

Ying Lingyan felt helpless: "...... I can go with you, but on the condition that Lan Xianting be returned to Lian Tianmeng safe and sound. ”

"I promise." Long Yuan said to her.

Song Wei also walked out: "Miss Ying......"

Ying Lingyan turned back to him and smiled bitterly, "I will let Miss Lan come back." ”

"Miss Jin, if you want to come, come here," Long Yuan turned and left, "The Dragon Palace is very lively. ”

So Ying Lingyan went to the Dragon Palace with this Long Yuan, and Jin Jiao followed behind Long Yuan, intending to find out.
