Chapter 397: Chapter 384: Completely Hopeless

However, compared to the dazzling flower described in the rumors, the bloom before her seemed quite plain, hardly resembling something of any great significance.

Especially…

Zhuang Qjngning eyed the slightly crooked stem of the flower and walked over with surprise. She crouched down to examine closely the blossoms supposedly formed by a propitious aura.

Grown in a rock crevice and nameless, its appearance unremarkable, it even appeared somewhat wilted now. Its roots were largely concealed by moss in the crevice.

And this moss…

Zhuang Qjngning touched it and studied it carefully.

The moss lacked the sliminess of natural growth, it was somewhat dry. Her fingertips were coated with tiny fragments. The earth with the attached moss was also dry; it seemed like it was dug up and then refilled, so some moss was damaged and had died.

Could it be?

Zhuang Qjngning furrowed her brows, plucked up her courage and reached out to the flower.

With no effort at all, she pulled it out by its roots. Moss from the soil clung to the roots, and fell away easily.

It was now abundantly clear that this flower did not grow naturally here, but was deliberately transplanted.

Someone went to great lengths to transplant a flower here. The rumors of the auspicious transformation of flowers were well known. And then there was the great noise today, followed by the collapse of the cave in the hilk

Zhuang Qjngning was now convinced that it was a human act.

The intention was to bait the targeted person here, and then capture or kill him outright.

What she couldn’t determine now was whether they actually intended to trap her, or if she was just collateral damage.

To her, Zhuang Qjngning felt that even if she had enemies, they should be the kind to directly confront and pick a fight with her, sometimes even trying to sack her – they wouldn’t bother with such an elaborate plan, which carried a high risk of failure.

Then, who…

Who would do this, and for what reason?

Zhuang Qjngning knitted her brows, and then smiled faintly.

This matter, was quite interesting indeed.

However, right now, the most urgent task was figuring out how to get out of this mountain cave.

Zhuang Qjngning looked around, and observed carefully.

Whether it was the crack at the top or the original entrance, the landslide caused by the loud noise blocked all exits. It was impossible for her to shift it with her strength alone.

Moreover, even if Fan Wenxuan and others from outside came to help, they would not be able to shift it either. The only solution would be to slowly chisel through it.

Furthermore, she had yet to hear any call for help from outside, indicating that the narrow exit was sealed tight, and her plea for help probably could not get out.

If that was the case, even if the exit could be blasted open, it would still be a monumental task.

She feared she would not be able to get out for a few months.

The thought of this left Zhuang Qjngning dejected, and she sat down on the ground.

She was doomed to starve to death.

A young woman losing her life in a cave is a tragedy indeed.
