1676 She Could Always Find The Solution (2/2)

They did not forget to seal the entrance before they left, so the bloody plum tree returned to its normal appearance.

Gu Xijiu and the rest of them stayed floating in the air within the wizardry barrier that had been set up by Di Fuyi so that they could stay unnoticed.

Yan Chen turned to look at Gu Xijiu with eyes full of admiration, for she could always find the solution.

Both the men took a quick look around the plum garden. Soon, they found a wild boar and a wolf within the woods.

One of the men responded, ”Actually, there is nothing odd. Our master has once told said that the plum garden would release a unique scent to attract preys. The scent is probably stronger tonight.”

While they were chatting, they also performed a special technique to open the sealed entrance. The hole appeared again, and the staircases emerged to guide them in.

Also, they did not forget to seal the hole again to return the tree to its usual appearance.

Many staircases led them deep into the ground. On both sides of the walls, many candles were flickering in the dark. These unique candles would not be extinguished even after burning for a thousand years.

While they were walking, one of the men had a shiver running through his body. ”Strange. I have a feeling that someone is following us,” he confessed.

His companion took a quick look around and saw nothing. Relieved, he answered, ”There is nothing to be worried about. Who could have possibly entered this place? We have always been very careful when opening and closing the entrance. Forget about humans; I do not think that even a fly can make its way in. Don't you overthink!”

The man scratched his head in bewilderment. ”I also do not think that others could make their way in.” He sighed. ”Maybe it is because there have been too many deaths around, so I keep thinking that their spirits stay behind everywhere.”

He continued to walk while he talked. After a while, he realized that his companion was far behind. He turned around and waited for him. ”Why are you so slow all of a sudden?” He complained.
