There are more than 600 stone steps, which Xia Yanru counted boringly all the way down, and when the stone steps ended, she then walked more than ten minutes on the spacious stone path.

Xia Yanru can also be regarded as having seen a lot of underground palaces, but she feels that the underground building of the 'elixir' is not simple, she no longer thinks that this underground building was built in modern times, to be honest, the more magnificent the building that ordinary people can't understand, the more it comes from ancient dynasties.

Obviously, the underground building they are currently in is very likely to be made by ancient craftsmen who don't know how many years ago, and Xia Yanru can't help but guess what reason this underground building was originally built.

After leaving the passage, the surrounding environment gradually began to be lively, to be precise, compared to the previous dead silence, Xia Yanru obviously felt a lot of popularity in the current environment.

It wasn't until she was locked in a cell that Xia Yanru's blindfold was allowed to be taken off, she was not nervous, she looked at the cell environment with a cold face, there were faint dark red marks on the ground, and she didn't know when the blood stains were left, and it became this situation over the years.

The environment of the cell was like that, Xia Yanru had no choice if she wanted to, so she found a relatively clean place at random and sat cross-legged directly, she held her head with one hand and gestured on the ground with the other.

From the outside of the cell, Xia Yanru looked bored at this time, but in fact this was just a cover for her, and no one knew that she was extending her ability to detect this underground structure.

In this stone prison, I can't tell the difference between day and night, and thanks to Xia Yanru's own watch, I also know the time change, so I stayed in the stone prison for nearly a day, and there were people in the middle who came to deliver food, but I wore a mask and did things like a deaf and dumb person.

What Xia Yanru didn't know was that in fact, these masked people guarding the stone prison were indeed deaf and mute people who couldn't hear or speak, but they weren't born like this, but were later drugged.

But these are all later words, here Xia Yanru was taken out of the stone prison by two deaf and dumb masked people, and she didn't know where she was going to go, and no one would answer her if she asked more clearly, so she just followed silently and pretended not to care.

The scale of this underground building is huge, and there are some places where Xia Yanru has not been able to detect and understand, and she doesn't know what it is for, and she has a lot of speculation in her heart, thinking that if she has the opportunity, she must explore it well.

While thinking about how to find an opportunity to explore the underground building, while paying attention to the surrounding environment, it didn't take long to reach the destination, and I couldn't see anything from the outside, but after entering the room, Xia Yanru couldn't help but be speechless, The decoration in this room is resplendent and splendid, It is not difficult to see from here that the 'elixir' is really not short of money.

Not to mention how luxuriously the room was decorated, the layout here looked like a study or an office for handling affairs, Xia Yanru entered the room at the signal of the masked man, and then the masked man closed the door from the outside.

In the direction of Xia Yanru, there was an old man, since Xia Yanru came in, this person had not raised his head from the book in his hand, as if he didn't know that someone had come in.

Xia Yanru knew very well that the other party must have known that she was coming, and this kind of behavior was just to give her a dismount, or to put pressure on her psychologically.

But as long as she hasn't experienced something, maybe Xia Yanru will be a little apprehensive, but unfortunately she is not used to this kind of scene, once every time she went to the master's house, the head of the Xia family at that time liked to act like this.

Although she is now considered a prisoner, Xia Yanru herself has no consciousness, seeing that the old man is so focused on the book in her hand, she simply picked a chair and sat down directly, still up to what the other party wants to do, she doesn't want to stand and wait honestly.

As Xia Yanru calmly sat down, the old man behind the main table finally pulled his gaze from the book, he slowly raised his head, and looked straight at Xia Yanru with a pair of slightly vicissitudes but shrewd eyes, with a cold face and a slight smile.

The smile on the old man's face had nothing to do with kindness, but a kind of pride that he had everything under control, I saw him put down the book in his hand, looked at Xia Yanru and said, "You are Xia Yanru?" ”

"Yes." Xia Yanru responded lightly.

"I guess you know what the reason is for inviting you this time, right?" The old man continued.

"I don't know." Xia Yanru looked at the other party with a smile in her eyes, wondering how long the other party could pretend.

However, in the end, it is an old thing that has lived for I don't know how many years, although the old man was very unhappy with Xia Yanru's answer, but his face did not show it at all, but his tone was a little calmer than before.

"Speaking of which, the Xia clan originally had something to do with us, and you may not know it when you are young."

Xia Yanru immediately interrupted the other party's words, "I have nothing to do with the Xia clan. ”

"Hehe, isn't it a little late for the little girl to say this now, if you have nothing to do with the Xia clan, why do you think we brought you back?" The old man's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't seem to expect that the other party had become a prisoner, and he dared to talk nonsense with him like this.

"Maybe you've caught the wrong person." Xia Yanru replied unhurriedly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with an ugly expression, "Do you think the people I sent out are all stupid cowards?" Xia Yanru, I advise you not to be ignorant, this place is not your home now, if you are willing to cooperate, we will naturally treat you well, if you are still so oily and salty, then don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Obviously, the old man was really angry, and he no longer maintained his previous posture, and now he wanted to directly let Xia Yanru be dragged out to be tortured, and when the other party had suffered enough, he would know what attitude to use when talking to him.

It's a pity that although the old man wanted to do this in his heart, he had to hide this impulse because of some things, but when he faced Xia Yanru again, his attitude was already much worse.

Xia Yanru is not worried about what will happen to her after provoking the other party, she has already figured out all the worst possibilities when she comes, in addition, she has also analyzed, now that the 'elixir' has been suppressed by Ji Wenlin, she can almost only shrink, maybe this underground building is the last hiding place for the other party.

In addition, Xia Yanru also deliberately provoked the other party, she still had a lot of things in her heart, these plans can't be done by herself, someone must cooperate, and now this old man is a person who can be used in her opinion.

The anger was almost over, Xia Yanru didn't continue to pull out her beard, she lowered her head slightly, giving the other party a feeling of resignation.

Obviously, the old man really thought that his threat had scared Xia Yanru, after all, he was just an adult girl, he felt that he had experienced so much, even if he relied on the old and sold the old, he could conquer a girl.
