Chapter 1166: Backdoor (5)
In a hidden spot on the roof of Huichun Hall, Gu Qingheng kept his gaze fixed on the area below him—unfortunately, there was no movement to be seen.
"How’s it looking?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t traverse walls and rooftops, so she had to rely on Du Man and Du Juan to get her up there.
Gu Qingheng took Yang Ruxin’s hand and then shook his head, "Strange, why is there not a single sound?"
Yang Ruxin also glanced down at the pitch-black expanse below and couldn’t help but frown, "Could there be... a secret passage?"
Gu Qingheng frowned as he looked at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin was about to say something, but she suddenly heard a noise and hurriedly looked over to see Xiaolun zipping towards her, flicking its tongue at her.
"There is really a secret passage." Yang Ruxin’s expression darkened, "Let’s go."
Gu Qingheng nodded and carried her as they flew down.
Actually, the location of Huichun Hall was a bit towards the southeast, nearest to the south gate of Baihua County, and not far from the south gate was the Hucheng River, which was in fact connected with the Xiaocang River.
The exit of the secret tunnel was not far from the river, in a dilapidated Land Temple.
Although they were too late and the people were already gone, there were traces left on the ground. Moreover, Xiaolun’s partner, Xiaoyin, had continued to follow while Xiaolun returned to deliver the message. Xiaoyin left behind a scent that only Xiaolun could identify, which led them all the way to the outside of a manor on the outskirts.
