Chapter 151 Night visit to Zhan Mansion (1)
At midnight that night, Xie Jinglan asked Beitang Yuan and Zhu Yichen to stay in the space, then changed into night clothes, quietly left the Xiao family and headed towards the Zhan Mansion.
Because of what happened last night and during the day, the Zhan family was on high alert, as if all their private soldiers had been mobilized. There were people patrolling back and forth on every street, and the torches they held were like dragons flying through the night.
But these people are nothing to Xie Jinglan.
When another patrol passed by, she came out from the shadows. Suddenly, the little squirrel came out of the space and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, he ran in the opposite direction.
Xie Jinglan didn't know what the little guy was going to do. But since he wanted her to go, there must be a reason, so she followed him.
After walking through several streets, we found ourselves in the South District, the Cao family's territory.
Xie Jinglan frowned and grabbed the little squirrel with her hand, "What are you doing here at the Cao family?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words. You'll understand when you get there!" The little squirrel struggled a bit, broke free from her restraints, and leaped forward. "Just follow me."
Xie Jinglan looked around and quickly followed.
There were not many people patrolling the streets in the south district, and after walking through several more streets, the little squirrel finally stopped.
Xie Jinglan looked up and found herself in front of a big house.
"Let's go in." The little squirrel jumped over the wall and entered the house.
"..." Xie Jinglan listened to the noise and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she flew in.
This is a large house with three courtyards. It looks very ordinary from the outside. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it seems to have nothing special about it. It doesn't even have a plaque to show its status.
But once we entered, we realized that this was a very wealthy family.
The first thing that catches your eye is the spacious and majestic front courtyard. The ground is paved with exquisite jade and is surrounded by various exotic flowers and herbs, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Xie Jinglan stood in the dark for a while and found that there was not a single guard inside. There were only two servants on night watch, who were leaning on the chairs in the corridor and dozing off.
He jumped and caught up with the little squirrel, and came to the second courtyard. He saw that it was even more spacious, and every place was decorated with ingenuity. Pavilions, towers, rockery and waterside pavilions were scattered in an orderly manner, exuding luxury everywhere.
It seems that the owner of this seemingly ordinary three-story house must be a person with amazing wealth and extraordinary taste.
The little squirrel continued to run forward and stopped in front of a rockery in the garden. Looking back, he saw that she had caught up with him, so he slipped into a cave.
Xie Jinglan took a look and became even more confused, because compared with other places, this area seemed very desolate, and the weeds grew taller than people. How did this little guy get here?
"Come in quickly, it will be dawn if you delay any longer!" The little squirrel's urging voice came from inside.
Xie Jinglan pushed aside the weeds taller than a person and walked to the foot of the rockery. She saw a narrow crevice in the mountain that was barely wide enough for a person to walk through. If it weren't for the little squirrel leading the way, it would have been difficult to discover such a place.
It was pitch black inside, so I took a flashlight to light the way and saw that it was much wider inside.
The little squirrel ran quite fast, and she didn't bother to see what was happening in the cave, so she quickly caught up.
About half a minute later, she finally caught up with the little squirrel and saw that there was a wall blocking her way.
"This secret passage leads to the Zhan Mansion. You should tear down this wall." said the little squirrel.
"Let me do it." Xiao Jinzi came out of the space and slapped out a palm force.
"Bang!" The wall collapsed.
"Let's go!" The little squirrel flew in first.
"I'll go in and take a look first." Little Jinzi followed the little squirrel closely.
They walked for more than two quarters of an hour before another wall blocked their way.
"We have arrived at the Zhan Mansion, please keep your voice down." The little squirrel told the monkey.
"What's so difficult about this?" Xiao Jinzi grabbed a large stone with his hand, and then moved several large stones to make a hole that people could pass through.
After walking for about half a minute, they finally came out of the secret passage.
Xie Jinglan looked around and saw that the entrance to the secret passage was also under a rockery.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The Zhan family is so cunning and treacherous. Are they afraid of encountering some danger so that they can escape from here?
Take the three-story house, for example, which is so magnificently decorated. It turns out it belongs to the Zhan family.
But why does this secret passage lead to the Cao family’s territory?
"There are a few old monsters in the Zhan family. Their strength may have reached the Nascent Soul stage. You have to be careful." The little squirrel's voice was a little solemn.
[Nascent Soul Realm?] Xie Jinglan was secretly shocked.
Is this Zhan family really so powerful?
Master Zhongli Xiao is known as the best master in the world, but I’m afraid he hasn’t even entered the Nascent Soul stage!
[Take me to where the person is being held first.] She wanted to find the person first.
[There are formations everywhere in this Zhan Mansion. Follow me closely.] The little squirrel didn't walk so fast this time, and led her forward carefully.
Seeing that the little squirrel had become so cautious, Xie Jinglan thought that the Zhan family was really a den of dragons and tigers.
"Who's there?" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a figure flashed out from a big tree and pounced over.
Early stage of Golden Elixir!
Xie Jinglan was shocked to find that there was someone guarding outside the cave.
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen talismans flashed out.
The man reacted quickly and dodged the talismans one by one.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinzi also came to help. Hundreds of talismans flew all over the sky and finally fixed the man. He fell from the sky.
Just when the man was about to land, Xie Jinglan took him into the space with her mind.
Fortunately, he was the only one guarding this area, otherwise, she would have been discovered.
The little squirrel led her through a woods and across rows of houses, which seemed to be where the servants lived.
They also met many patrolmen on the way. In order to avoid being discovered, Xie Jinglan went directly into the space and waited until these people passed by before coming out.
After groping for a while, the little squirrel in front finally stopped and pointed its paw at the large house ahead, transmitting its thoughts: "It's in here, but it's been several months, so that person might still be imprisoned here."
Xie Jinglan squatted down and observed the surrounding situation with her surgical eyes.
This house looks like a large warehouse. There are more than twenty early Jindan masters guarding it, and three middle Jindan masters lurking in the dark. It seems that there are extremely important things stored in this house.
[Even the people guarding the warehouse are at or above the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Are all the Zhan family members so naturally gifted?] Xie Jinglan was secretly shocked.
No wonder the Zhan family is so arrogant that even the second largest sect, the Tianlong Sect, comes to curry favor with them.
"You don't know, but the Zhan family is wealthy. Most of the spirit stones sold by the Cao family went into the hands of the Zhan family. They use the spirit stones to cultivate, so their skills naturally improve quickly," the little squirrel told her.
