Chapter 103: Mysterious Secret Room (1/2)

Ying Lan and Cai Ling exchanged looks. They were suspicious but they still chose to believe her as they followed behind Bai Luochu.

After entering the inner room, Bai Luochu felt around the wall and found a piece of brick close to the bottom. A smile appeared on her face.

Bai Luochu exerted some strength and pulled out the brick. There was actually a concealed mechanism behind it. She then called out to Ying Lan, “Ying Lan, come and take a look, see if you can deal with this mechanism. Cai Ling, come along too, see if you can learn anything.”

They heard Bai Luochu and headed over to study the mechanism.

Ying Lan observed for some time and said to Bai Luochu, “Mistress, aren’t you just taking the chance to make this subordinate look bad? If it is purely a mechanism, this subordinate will definitely know how to deal with it. This is a mechanism combined to some kind of mystical formation array. Currently, only Mistress will be able to deal with this kind of mechanism. Please don’t tease this subordinate.”

“But this mechanism isn’t designed by me. It’s the only reason we need to conduct an in-depth investigation.” Bai Luochu had a rather dignified expression on her face as she declared.

Ying Lan didn’t know how he should respond as he was afraid he might make Bai Luochu even more worried. He had no choice but to stand at the side quietly, let alone Cai Ling who didn’t know a thing. She was extremely quiet as she stood beside Ying Lan and Bai Luochu.

Bai Luochu wasn’t overly insistent on this matter as she dealt with the mechanism with brute force. After hearing a ‘snapping’ sound, the originally intact wall started to change. Two cracks became visible and there was a piece of wall in the middle that looked just like a door. Bai Luochu didn’t waste any time and immediately entered by pushing it in. In response, Ying Lan and Cai Ling quickly followed their mistress as they were afraid some accident might occur.

The interior of the door caused all three of them to drop their jaws in amazement.

The entrance was huge and only a single person could pass through it at any point in time. After entering the door, one would have to walk down a narrow and dark passageway. They would have to descend several flights of stairs before laying eyes on the true appearance of the secret room.

“Mistress, is anyone using this secret room? Doesn’t the existence of this secret room indicate that someone has their eyes on the general’s residence? It’s too dangerous for Mistress to continue living here.” Ying Lan observed this perfectly planned out secret room and couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Bai Luochu simply waved her hand as she indicated for Ying Lan to put down his worries. She strolled towards a nearby desk and swiped the surface. Raising her hand, she showed it to Ying Lan. “Take a look. What is this?”
