Three corpses covered with white cloth were laid out in the empty space of the backyard.

  After Jia Ding lifted up the white cloth in front of him, Xichuan Military Commissioner Meng Zhixiang approached to take a closer look with his mouth and nose covered by a handkerchief.

  These three corpses, tall and short, fat and thin, although their outer clothes were different, but they all wore the same Qilin pattern palace brocade underwear inside, and upon careful comparison, it would be noticed that the faces of these three people looked somewhat alike.

  Meng Zhi-xiang stared for a moment, then turned and left. His aide Song Zhi followed behind him, waving his hand. The servants quickly covered the body with white cloth and carried it out of the courtyard.

  Meng Zhi-xiang dropped his handkerchief and spat out the ginger slice in his mouth. After clearing his throat, he said in a low voice: "The cunning rabbit has three burrows; it seems that he had made preparations long ago."

  Song Zhi pinched his goat-like beard: "Qiwang is indeed cunning, but our people are not vegetarians either. Master, please rest assured that we will have good news soon."

  Meng Zhi Xiang heard this and glanced at Song Zhi: "If this child is not eliminated, I will be uneasy!"

  Song Zhi's throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Understood."

  ……

  Hua Rou was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

  The gate was not closed, and after lightly knocking on the door, Mu Jun walked in with three or five scrolls under his arm.

  Hua'er turned around and saw that it was Mu Jun, but she didn't greet him with the same excitement as before. Instead, she quickly lowered her head, swept a few times in a hurry, and then walked away with the broom.

  Admiring you, I watched her fleeing back and blinked, then took the scroll directly to the main hall.

  He put the scroll in his hand on the table and quietly waited for Tang Jiuniang's judgment.

  Tang Jiuer carefully unrolled each scroll and examined it closely, spending more time on each one than the last.

  I don't rush or get anxious, I just stand there quietly watching and waiting for you.

  After the morning light had shifted slightly, Tang Jiuer finally finished looking at it. She threw down the blueprint and rubbed her eyebrows.

  "Although I don't understand the profundity of the formation, I can still see some superficial aspects. Your design of the five-element formation is unique in every way, especially the last one, which might even make your master sweat secretly."

  "You're overpraising me, it's all thanks to my master's good teaching." Mu Junwu's words were polite, but his expression was not at all polite, his eyebrows and raised chin showing absolute arrogance.

  Tang Jiuer stared at him for a few seconds before continuing to ask: "Do you want to play the trapped array or the dead array?"

  "It depends on the type and amount of poison."

  Tang Jiuer didn't say a word and pulled open the drawer beside her, taking out a book and throwing it directly at Mu Junwu.

  I grasp you with one hand.

  "The books in the poisonous house can only be read in the poisonous house. Which ones do you think are possible? Copy them down, and I'll take you to experience their nature."

  "Understood. I wonder where the poison master thinks is suitable for me to read?"

  Tang Jiuer was about to speak when she saw Hua Rou sweeping the floor from the doorway, and her heart skipped a beat as she called out: "Hua Rou!"

  Hua Rou heard the noise and put down her broom to come in. As soon as she saw Mu Junwu, she immediately lowered her head.

  "Master, what instructions do you have?"

  "Take Mu Junwu to the ear house next to your west wing to borrow books!"

  "Yes."

  Hua Rou nodded in response and turned her head to walk out. Mu Junwu bowed slightly towards Tang Jiu'er as a form of farewell, then followed Hua Rou out of the main hall.

  The two of them went out, and Tang Jiuer picked up the last scroll to look at the formation map on it. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she thought to herself: What kind of clever mind could come up with such a terrifying maze? However... if this formation is successful, the master will be very pleased, right?

  Hua Rou came out of the main hall, picked up a broom and silently led Mu Junwu on the way.

  She walked silently, always with her head down, her hands tightly grasping the broom handle.

  Admiring you from behind, I kept staring at you, but in my heart, I sighed: after being punished only once, it's over, adversity is hard to come by, and it's not a good omen.

  Just then, Hua Rou suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at him, asking in a low voice: "Mu Gege, why can't I gather my energy every time?"

  I was taken aback by your words.

  Huā Róu looked at Mù Jūn Wú, and found that he didn't respond to himself. He knocked his head in distress: "Sorry, I forgot, you can't teach me..."

  She finished speaking and turned around, took a few steps forward, pointed to the ear house: "It's here! You go ahead! I'm going to sweep the yard."

  Hua Rou began sweeping with the broom, and Mu Jun looked at her dejected appearance, feeling a pang in his heart. He took two steps forward to respond to her, but just then heard footsteps coming from the courtyard gate. After a brief pause, he turned around and entered the ear room, closing the door behind him.

  At this time, Ziqi, Zihua and Linlin entered the courtyard. Zihua saw Hua Rou sweeping the floor and shouted: "Hua Rou, go get me some water, I want to wipe myself clean, all this practicing has made me sweat..."

  "No time." Hua Rou didn't lift her head and continued sweeping the floor seriously.

  "What's this 'no time' nonsense? Bring water and sweep..."

  "I am not your servant." Hua Rou stood up straight and glared at Zi Hua without any politeness.

  "Hey, you still dare..."

  "I'm coming!" Linlin stepped forward two steps and stood between the two, and Chuzi Hua smiled: "Sister Subei, let's not bother with her, I'll get you water."

  Lingling said, stretching out her hand to grab Zihua's arm and pulling him towards the east wing. Zihua was unhappy in his heart and naturally wanted to scold Huajou again. However, Ziqi arrived at Zihua's side, frowning in distaste: "Dealing with a useless person like you, aren't you tired?"

  Zi Qi finished speaking and walked into the east wing with a wooden sword, Zi Hua glared at Hua Rou with a scowl before being pulled in by Lin Lin.

  Hua Rong tightly grasped the broom and watched as they all entered the house before turning around to continue sweeping the floor with her head down.

  The courtyard was quiet for a moment, as if there had been no dispute, but Mu Junwu standing in front of the ear house window had his eyes on Hua Rou.

  A moment later, he went to the desk and started flipping through books. At this moment, everything outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

  The red sun moved from east to west, and in the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

  I put down the book and stood up to stretch my limbs, but unexpectedly, Hua Rou was practicing under the corridor outside the window. He happened to see her movements and immediately furrowed his brow.

  How did it become such a mess?

  I am baffled by your skills, as Hua Rou's moves are not only scattered and disordered without any rules to speak of, but also don't even have a hint of internal energy.

  What is she practicing?!

  Admiring you, I was confused, but at this time Hua Rou suddenly seemed to have given up and sighed, took out the scroll from her bosom and looked at it, then glanced towards the east wing of the house, and afterwards quietly slipped out of the courtyard.

  I blinked at you and opened the door to follow you out.

  Huā Róu stepped quickly into the bamboo forest, Mù Jūn Wú followed closely behind her, cautiously approaching, and soon heard the sound of Huā Róu's conversation with someone inside.

  "Aren't you punished? You actually came back, I thought it would take three to five days..."

  "You also know what I got punished for?"

  "Of course, any wind blowing or grass moving in the Tang Sect can't escape the ears of Tang Six!"

  "Alright, alright, you know everything! Sixth Master Brother, can you tell me again what that one sentence means?"

  "Which one?"

  "What's going on? I'm trying to gather Qi in my Dan Tian, rush it up to the Gate of Life, and guide it through the Du Meridian past the Tailbone... but no matter what I do, I just can't seem to gather any Qi..."

  "How stupid are you! I've been teaching you for half a month, how can you still not know? I really don't know how you managed to get into the Tangmen with Mu Qunwu. Come on, come on, I'll teach you again, follow me!"

  I was shocked and speechless: She's actually hiding here with Tang Liu to study? And it's still half a month away? Can't she really...
