Chapter 1093: Rising to the Surface 4

as getting smarter and smarter, already possessing the intelligence of a four-year-old. So whatever she said, he would respond.Then the whirlwind came up to Sun Zhou, creeping like a cat. Seeing this..."As far as I know, the people at the World's No. 1 Building rarely fail because they always have both overt and covert operatives working on their missions. Now it seems Qing Lan is the front while Hong Ling'er is the back-up, but they want to use me as a scapegoat, and I refuse to let them."

Ripple said softly.

"Humph! Number Six, you're right, the First Floor of Heaven does indeed operate on two lines: light and dark. But this time I'm the light line, and you're the dark line. Now I finally know my mission, but...it's a pity!"

Hong Ling'er said coldly.

"What a pity"

Ripple asked.

"My mission failed, do you think you can succeed"

"How dare you try to smear me again!"

Ripple shook her head in resignation.

"Do you think they brought you here to interrogate me They're interrogating you."

Hong Ling'er let out a satisfied smile.

"Young Master Wen, is that so"

The ripples turned her head to ask the man beside her.

"Miss Hua, I called you here only to clear your name."

Wen Shige beside her said softly.

"I understand, the clear will clarify themselves!"

Ripples said unconcernedly.

"Miss Hua, you come from the Hua family of Liuxian City. Have you ever left Liuxian City since your birth"

"I've been to nearby towns a few times, but the farthest one was this visit to Wenjiabao."

Miss Hua also practiced martial arts.

"Yes, when I was at home, my father told me that girls should learn to protect themselves. So he asked a master to teach me some martial arts, but I can only defend myself with difficulty."

Liàn'yī humbly said.

Miss Hua is too modest. You can see that Hong Ling'er and Qing Lan, who secretly met, are naturally stronger than her.

Wen Shi-ge said.

"Well, my light work is quite good. I practiced it specifically for escaping. Is Young Master Wen so aggressive because of Miss Hong Ling'er, that innocent little flower"

"Miss Hua, watch your words!"

"Okay, I'm done talking. What else do you want to ask"

Ripple smiled and asked.

"Miss Hua, what do you think the First Tower in the World is so determined to enter the Wen Family Fort for"

Wen Shigao asked.

"Isn't it for the inheritance of treasures in your back mountain forbidden land"

Ripple asked in return.

Miss Hua, do you know about the heirloom treasures passed down in my Wen family

"I didn't know this before, but I found out today. Before coming here, Brother Wen told me that after Hong Ling'er was exposed, she didn't run away but went to the forbidden area in the back mountain. This must be her mission objective this time."

"Actually, it's laughable. There are rumors circulating throughout the martial world that our Wen Family Fort possesses a secret treasure. In reality, those are just fabrications. The forbidden zone in the back mountains only contains the ancestral tablets and family tree of the Wen family ancestors. These are the things that carry on the legacy of Wen Family Fort."

Wen Shirui spoke softly.

"I see."

Ripples wore an expression of sudden understanding, but she didn't press further.

Miss Hua, I'll send you back first. You better not leave Cuizhu Courtyard these two days.

Wen Shirui got up and said.

"Okay."

After sending Lian'yi back to Cui Zhu Yuan, the three Wen brothers gathered again. This time, they were discussing Lian'yi.

"Brother, do you think she could be the number one person in the world"

Wendy Shih asked the first question.

"Whether she is or isn't, she is still a very formidable opponent."

Wen Shiru coughed before answering his third brother's question.

“Our people have already checked Liuxian City, and Hua Lianyi's identity is true. Whether it's her appearance or personality, she is exactly the same as the one in Cuizhu Lin. She is arrogant and domineering but also extremely intelligent.”

Wen Shige played with the folding fan in his hand and said.

"Big brother, are you really going to marry her"

If you think Miss Hua is problematic, why keep her around

"There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days without getting caught. Since she's taken the initiative to enter Wenjia Fort, we must figure out what she's after."

Wen Shiru coughed violently after finishing his words.

Wen Shige and Wen Xi Xuan looked at each other, both seeing worry in each other's eyes.

"Big brother, your cold poison can't be delayed any longer. Why not make a deal directly with Miss Hua"

"It's not appropriate. Let's not even talk about whether she has a second Purple Mist Flower. Hu Lianri will definitely seize this opportunity and ask for a huge sum."

After hearing his older brother's words, Wen Shixuan spoke with some agitation:

"Just for a broken..."

"Third brother!"

Wen Shige directly interrupted his third brother's words.

For a moment, the three of them were silent.

Back at Cuizhu Courtyard, Lianyi said to Xiazhi with a gentle voice:

"You have nothing to fear, as long as you haven't done anything wrong, I won't send you back to the outer courtyard."

Thank you, Miss Hua.

"Make me a pot of jasmine tea."

Yes, Miss!

As Liàn Yī sipped her steaming cup of flower tea, her mind drifted back to the events that had transpired in the dungeon earlier.

She is now increasingly curious about the Wen family estate, because it has cultivators, and their cultivation level is not low. According to her previous perception, it should be at least in the Golden Core stage. Most importantly, the entire Wen family estate is located on a massive array formation.

And she was certain that the formations within the fortress were a combination of natural formations and formation plates, just like the defensive formations in the place she lived in during her time in the outer courtyard.

On the night that Mistress Wen was assassinated, her residence, Ziyun Garden, was sealed off by an array formation. The purpose was to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the chaos. Since Mistress Wen had sensed something amiss, she abandoned her plan to sneak into the back mountains during the confusion. This actually indirectly proved her innocence.

The third time was when Hong Linger, after being exposed, went directly to the back mountain of Wen's Fort. She probably triggered the forbidden formation, so she was trapped in the back mountain and then captured.

This Hong Ling'er is really asking for trouble. She failed her mission and now wants to drag others down with her.

However, she was also very clear that since entering the Wen family fortress, Hong Ling'er had become a pawn. Her existence was to charge ahead and pave the way for her, while diverting the attention of the people in the Wen family fortress.

She was just puzzled, this person who had passed the test with her to obtain the cultivation method, how could they have such a heavy killing intent

That evening, Ripples appeared in the dungeon once more, clad in black.

"You're finally here!"

Hong Ling'er slowly raised her head and looked at Lian Yi who was standing in front of her.

"What did you find in the forbidden area on the back mountain"

Ripple didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Why should I tell you"

"Because I brought you medicine."

"Hmph! As expected, Elder Yue values you more! Why We both passed the test and became disciples under Elder Yue. I am no worse than you, so why should I be your stepping stone"

Hong Ling'er said in a low voice.

“Just because I left the Hidden Pavilion, I removed the poison from my body and am no longer subject to the control of the First Floor in the World.”

The ripples smiled and explained the solution to the other party.

Hong Ling'er was obviously stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I see! Since you are no longer bound by humans, why would you enter Wengjia Fort"

"I originally planned to just make a quick appearance and leave, but I find Wenjia Fort quite interesting, especially the back mountain forbidden area you broke into. I'm also very curious about the treasure that is passed down there."

Since you're going to marry Young Master Wen, why not just ask him directly.

I asked him, but he didn't tell the truth!

The ripples said helplessly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the ripples:

"Why doesn't Miss Hua ask me again Perhaps I would have told you." the wrong, and even if they made up, she wouldn't gain anything. But she was unwilling to accept it, her eyes flickering uncertainly, as if plotting something.After a good night's sleep, ripples wok...
