I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 186 Curiosity killed the cat

Xin Youran stayed alone in the cave.

She felt that waiting like this wasn't the right path. When she tried to leave the cave, she discovered it wouldn't open at all...

This damn gale!

Where is the door switch?

Xin Youran had been groping in the cave, trying to figure out what mechanism it was, knocking here and listening there, but ultimately, she found nothing...

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly discovered that the bottom of a small flowerpot containing jasmine seemed to be empty!

She quickly took the pot of jasmine away, and the moment the pot was moved, a stone wall suddenly began to move.

Then the stone wall turned into a stone door. After slowly opening, Xin Youran walked inside holding a candlestick.

This place looks like a study. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstone on a large desk, and the ink on the inkstone has dried up.

It should have been used by Blood Shadow before he left.

This means that she is the only one who knows about this secret room.

There was a book on it, oh no, it was a book without a name, lying right in the middle of the table.

Xin Youran couldn't help but pick it up and look through it. Does this look like Xueying's diary?

On the first day of April, the twenty-fourth year of the New Year, Brother Liefeng showed me the waist badge given to me by the master, saying that from now on I wouldn't have to be afraid of anyone in [Falling Rain]. He looked like he had achieved something great, and I didn't recognize him anymore...

How could he know that I just wanted to get out of this cage as soon as possible and live a free life.

It's the fifth day of the fourth month of the twenty-fourth year of the New Year. I've been feeling like someone is following me and spying on my every move lately, so it's better not to go back to Crescent Valley for a while to avoid causing them unnecessary trouble.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of the twenty-fourth year of the New Year, I finally realized that even the Qingyun Cottage, which I had always thought was different from other places, was actually so filthy. The entire [Falling Rain] has become completely corrupted, and it is no longer the [Falling Rain] that the old monster mentioned.

Brother Yuan Zhiqing was implicated and seriously injured. I dare not imagine who will be the next one from Crescent Valley.

You can only accept the tasks they assign you like a puppet. Prince Mu Yuan, don't worry, I have a way to keep you alive.

……

It turns out that Xueying had no intention of actually assassinating Mu Yuan?

Then she and Mu Yuan almost died. Who was behind this?

I always feel like there is a bigger conspiracy.

Xin Youran put the diary away and planned to leave and look for the mechanism of the cave exit.

Just as she turned around, she accidentally bumped into something, and then her feet sank and her body fell down.

damned!

What kind of a weird mechanism is this!

Her body kept sinking, and without time to think, she quickly calmed her mind, used her internal force to steady her body, and slowly fell down.

Thank God, I finally landed on my feet.

It's pitch black here, and it feels eerie and scary!

Fortunately, she had the foresight to carry a tinder with her.

It was only when the light came on that I could see clearly where she was.

Isn’t this the legendary underground passage!

She held a tinder in her hand and groped forward bit by bit. It would be great if there was a sign.

At least she knew where the road ahead was heading...

There was no choice but to move forward. Fortunately, this underground passage only had one direction, and Blood Shadow's secret room should be the starting point or the end point.

Xin Youran walked like this for about half an hour and finally saw hope because a staircase appeared in front of her!

Who dug this secret passage?

She was a little impatient to get to the bottom of this matter. Perhaps it had something to do with the mention in Blood Shadow's diary of someone following her and spying on her...

It was as if there was some kind of magic that attracted her and she climbed up the stairs step by step.

As she went up little by little, Xin Youran gradually felt a faint light. Until there was no staircase, she saw a large cover. She used the tinder to get closer and saw that it was a very thick wooden board. She tried hard but couldn't open it at once.

Sorry, she has to use all her strength!

He skillfully mobilized his internal energy and pushed upwards again, finally opening it!

The light came in, Xin Youran extinguished the fire, and climbed out by grabbing the floor above with all her strength.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she didn't have time to tidy up her clothes and just stood there in a daze.

Holy shit, this is the most luxurious study she has ever seen. It’s so big, it should be a study, right?

Who has the luxury of owning such a large study?

Only then did Xin Youran realize that she had suddenly appeared in someone else's territory. She hurriedly closed the floor, and it looked no different from other floors.

Only then did he feel a little relieved. Now was not the time for sightseeing. He had to find a way to get out quickly. He didn't know how Liefeng and Chu Yuming were doing.

She first crept to the door of the study and gently opened it a crack, just enough for her to pass through.

Then he walked out sideways and was about to close the door gently. At this moment, an evil wind came from nowhere and closed the door with a "bang".

Xin Youran's heart trembled, and she quickly turned around to see if there was any noise.

This turn scared her to death. Everyone in the room...

The person sitting in the upper seat was listening to what the people below were saying. At this moment, because of the sound of the door closing, everyone looked at her.

Holy shit! What kind of massive social death scene is this? This could actually kill people!

"Blood Shadow?!"

At this moment, someone reacted first and screamed.

Do these people know her?

That's right, it was raining so heavily, and judging from the underground passage she was walking through, this should be the bedroom of some steward.

At this moment, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"Haha, busy."

"Well, you guys keep going, keep going, hehe."

As Xin Youran spoke, she opened the door of the study she had just come out of, and closed it again with a "click" as quickly as possible.

She was so regretful!

It really proves the saying that curiosity kills the cat. She shouldn't have gone down to that underground passage at all!

She rushed to the floor where she had just come from, wanting to lift it up and return the same way.

But she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open the floor. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Xin Youran frantically knocked on the floor around it to try. No, it was right here...

"What are you looking for?"

"Do you need help?"

A soft and magnetic voice came from above Xin Youran's head.
