NCCnovel Chapter 348 Secret Room
Chapter 348 Secret Room
The secret room was filled with an old atmosphere. In the center stood a perpetual lamp. The bean-sized flame swayed in the darkness, emitting a faint light and reflecting the mottled shadows on the surrounding walls.
The mysterious person slowly walked to the eternal lamp, her hands trembling slightly. She picked up the incense on the table beside her and lit it close to the candle.
"Li'er, mother is here to see you again..." The mysterious man murmured to himself, his voice choked with sobs.
She slowly bent her knees, clasped her hands together, and held the incense stick tightly, her eyes always fixed on the longevity lamp, as if she could see her daughter's vivid face through the faint flame.
"After you left, my world collapsed. During those days, I had no appetite. Whenever I closed my eyes, all I could think of was your voice and smile." Tears burst out of the mysterious man's eyes, slid down his cheeks, and dripped onto the cold ground.
"Do you know? In order to avenge you, I have suffered so much and endured so much pain. I have endured humiliation and mingled with those hypocritical people, just to make those who hurt you pay with blood one day." The mysterious man gritted his teeth, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Now, the time is almost here! Mother has arranged everything. None of those people will be able to escape. Once I have avenged you, I will come to accompany you. We, mother and daughter, will never be separated again..."
As the mysterious man spoke, he leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to pour out all his thoughts to the Longevity Lamp.
On the other side, Murong Ling'er devoted herself to cultivation, as if isolated from the world. She was immersed in the world of cultivation, forgetting the passage of time and even forgetting dinner.
The long night passed quietly, the sky turned pale, the morning sun slowly rose, and golden light sprinkled on the earth. Murong Ling'er slowly opened her eyes, stretched her muscles, stood up and climbed to the highest point of the villa.
The mountain breeze rustled, blowing her clothes. Murong Ling'er faced the rising sun, slowly closed her eyes, and began to absorb the vigorous vitality between heaven and earth into her body. Over the past few months, she has always maintained this habit, chasing the rising sun to practice.
In this strange world with extremely thin spiritual energy, every practice is a difficult challenge, and continuing to improve strength after building the foundation is even more difficult.
Before this, Murong Ling'er had been busy with trivial matters, either troubled by various troublesome interpersonal relationships or running around to solve difficult problems. She rarely had time to calm down and concentrate on practicing like she had in the past few months.
Now, seeing that her cultivation had improved a bit, Murong Linger couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Thinking of this, Murong Ling'er slowly opened her eyes, her gaze lingering on the mountain scenery for a moment, admiring the rolling hills and lush woods, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Then, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, she jumped up, and walked towards the room in the backyard with a nimble posture.
The golden eagle king is circling high in the sky, his sharp eagle eyes always watching every move of the villa.
Seeing Murong Ling'er walking back, it swooped down and shouted, "Woman, I just heard them gathered together to discuss and plan to find an opportunity to kill you."
It turned out that the men sent by the mysterious man had just sneaked up to the wing room and were spying secretly, and the Golden Eagle King discovered them at the first time with his keen perception.
However, it did not take action immediately. Instead, like an observer hidden in the dark, it secretly watched those people with ill intentions, wanting to see what they were up to.
Hearing this, Murong Ling'er looked calm, without the slightest panic. Her calm face made it difficult to guess her inner joy or anger.
After the Golden Eagle King informed the news, he dived into the mountains and continued to roam freely. He had full confidence in Murong Ling'er's strength and knew that this small threat did not require his help at all.
In stark contrast to Murong Ling'er's calmness and composure, Liu Yuyan is sensitive and suspicious by nature.
When she accidentally discovered someone sneaking around nearby, she turned pale with fright.
Her first reaction was that the other party had discovered the whereabouts of her and her son. She was scared and nervous, her heart in her throat. In a panic, she could only hide in the room like a frightened rabbit and dared not step out.
She was very conflicted, afraid of encountering danger, but she didn't dare tell Murong Ling'er about this, for fear that it would expose her long-hidden identity. After all, she had a secret that she couldn't tell, so she took every step carefully.
When Murong Ling'er came back, she saw that Liu Yuyan's door was closed and not a trace of light came through the gaps between the doors and windows. She knew in her heart that Liu Yuyan might have noticed something was wrong.
But she didn't go up and knock on the door to ask, she just went straight back to her room as if nothing had happened, pretending that she didn't notice anything.
As soon as she entered the room, Murong Ling'er immediately noticed that something was wrong.
The tables and chairs that were neatly arranged when she left were now slightly moved. Although the window beside the bed was closed, the dust on the windowsill clearly showed signs of being touched.
Murong Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and thought to herself: It seems that this group of people are quite bold, they actually dared to sneak into my room to investigate.
Then, she slowly closed her eyes, and her powerful spiritual sense spread out like a tide, conducting a meticulous search of the entire room.
Every corner and every object was covered by her spiritual sense, without any omission.
After confirming that there were no hidden traps, mechanisms or other dangerous items in the room, Murong Ling'er's tense nerves relaxed a little.
She walked slowly to the couch with steady steps and sat down gracefully on the futon.
Murong Ling'er knew clearly that if anyone tried to find out her identity or purpose through the objects in the room, they would be doomed to be disappointed.
She traveled light along the way, without any valuables, not even the baggage that an ordinary traveler would have.
The entire room was empty, and apart from the simple furnishings, there was nothing that belonged to her.
Even if those with bad intentions turned the room upside down, they would not be able to find even a single valuable clue.
As for Liu Yuyan's room, she and her son have been staying in it ever since they moved into the wing room and have never gone out.
Murong Ling'er guessed that those who were secretly spying on them would not be able to obtain any useful information from them.
After all, Liu Yuyan is also very cautious and keeps her secrets secret and will not let others know easily.
The facts were just as Murong Ling'er expected.
When she went out to practice at dawn, several men in black sneaked into her room like ghosts.
These people were originally full of expectations, thinking that they could find some clues in the room.
They rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the room, carefully examining every item, but were greatly disappointed by the result.
The room was clean and tidy, as if no one had ever lived there, and there was nothing of value in it.
