  “Stay calm, let’s go and see.” Qiao Tian Chang knew what Ning Meng Yao meant. If Nangong Yan’s disappearance had nothing to do with Bai Mo, then Bai Mo was likely to be kidnapped like Nangong Yan. In that case, Nangong Yan also must not be far from them.

  Ning Meng Yao suppressed her excitement. She followed Qiao Tian Chang. The deeper they went, the faster her heart beat, as if something was attracting her.

  “Tian Chang, we……”


  “Shh, keep quiet, someone’s here.” Qiao Tian Chang suddenly covered Ning Meng Yao’s mouth, and grabbed her as they ducked aside to hide.

  They waited for a while, but there was no one. Ning Meng Yao could not hold her breath any longer.

  “Tian Chang, are you mistaken?” Ning Meng Yao frowned and asked.

  Qiao Tian Chang shook his head: “No.”


  “But……”


  “This place is likely to have other secret passages, let’s go quickly.” Qiao Tian Chang pulled her and continued to walk inside, his speed was much faster now.

  Ning Meng Yao watched Qiao Tian Chang, she wanted to say something, but she kept quiet after seeing his solemn look.

  The two of them walked in the secret passage for a long time, but they did not encounter anything. Regardless of whether it was an intuition or what, everything seemed calm after they came out from the stone chamber. They also did not know how long the secret passage was.

  “How deep is this place?” Ning Meng Yao muttered quietly.

  “We should almost reach the end soon, don’t worry.” Qiao Tian Chang was also a little worried, but the thought that Ning Meng Yao was still around with him, made his concerns go away.

  Ning Meng Yao waited for Qiao Tian Chang with dissatisfaction. Displeased, she uttered: “Tian Chang……”


  “There, there. We have to leave this place as soon as possible.” Although the air in this place was a little humid, it did not make them feel stuffy. This could only mean one thing: There was a place that kept the air ventilation flow in here, they just had to look for it.

  Ning Meng Yao felt the tightness in her hands, she could not help but frown. What made his whole body’s muscles tense like this?

  “We don’t know where this passage leads. Yao Yao, you must be careful. If anything happens, you must leave this place first, do you understand?” Qiao Tian Chang stopped suddenly. He turned to Ning Meng Yao and said seriously.

  “Why?”


  “This place is obviously an underground palace made by someone. Getting out of here may lead us to an unexpected place, or it may go direct us to someone’s territory.” Qiao Tian Chang had made his point quite clear, if Ning Meng Yao still did not know what he was worried about, then she was pretty dense.

  “You can’t leave me alone.”


  “OK.” Qiao Tian Chang was silent for a moment then he nodded hard.

  With Qiao Tian Chang’s reminder, Ning Meng Yao was obviously more careful walking along the passage.

  When the two came to the end of the secret passage, the voice that disappeared earlier suddenly appeared once again. In fact, it was very similar to Bai Mo’s voice.

  Glancing at Qiao Tian Chang, Ning Meng Yao followed his gesture and listened without a word.

  After listening for some time, Ning Meng Yao wondered: “It seems that there is only Bai Mo, Tian Chang.”


  “There are others.” Qiao Tian Chang shook his head.

  The words that Bai Mo was saying were obviously him talking to others, but why was the person he was talking to ignoring him? From his words, Tian Chang was able to understand that the other person was either unable to speak or was unconscious.

  Qiao Tian Chang’s hand suddenly shook, and his eyes flashed slightly.

  This situation made him think of another person, only that person would be in this state.

  Ning Meng Yao, who was listening to Bai Mo seriously, did not notice Qiao Tian Chang’s strangeness at all. The more she listened, the more confused she became: “Tian Chang, do you think grandfather was harmed by Bai Mo?”


  After listening from the corner of the wall for so long, Ning Meng Yao understood that Bai Mo was not locked up at all. This could only mean one thing: The disappearance of Nangong Yan really had a lot to do with him.
