Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1740 In the Deadly Game 27

Many houses in the village were locked and could not be entered, but Jiang Xinxin did not force it, and finally she successfully found the tutor's residence.

The tutor's residence was elegantly decorated, and there was a lotus pot under the steps in front of the study door. However, the lotus inside had begun to wither, seemingly due to lack of water.

The private tutor sat behind the desk, his head replaced by a lantern-like object with a crying face painted on it.

Wang Di had some experience with doors, so when he saw the door behind the tutor, he speculated, "Could that be the door to go out?"

Jiang Xinxin saw much more than Wang Di. She nodded and said, "You're right. The door behind the tutor is the exit."

Jiang Xinxin originally thought that the tutor would have some resentment, but she didn't expect that he was a real teacher who would sacrifice himself for his students, and would even take the initiative to help those who were later turned into Sweeping Lady and died to calm their resentment.

Jiang Xinxin was filled with awe and bowed to the teacher first. Seeing this, Wang Di also hurriedly bowed. She also sincerely admired this teacher who sacrificed himself for his students.

Unexpectedly, just by bowing, the teacher's crying face turned into a smiling one. He even took the initiative to walk out from behind the desk and made way for the door that was emitting dim light!

Wang Di covered his mouth and couldn't believe what he saw!

This was the first time she saw someone find the door with just one move!

Wang Di looked at Jiang Xinxin with eyes full of admiration, and before leaving, Jiang Xinxin deliberately looked at the lotus pot outside the study.

With the harvest, Jiang Xinxin stopped Wang Di from climbing over the eaves and walls directly. It was too dangerous to be outside for too long. As expected, when they just returned to the house, they saw Ruan Lanzhu fighting with the owner of the house. Saoqing Niang had been taken down, and the owner of the house was still singing nursery rhymes intermittently.

Seeing Jiang Xinxin and Wang Di return safely, Ruan Lanzhu stopped fighting. A downpour came in an instant. Everyone looked at a young man coming back in the rain. He was crying while being drenched in the rain. It was obvious that he had guessed his fate.

Back in the room, Jiang Xinxin pulled Wang Di over and told him about what they had found today. She also speculated that the key to the door might be related to the lotus pot. "I did a quick visual estimate, and it would take more than two hours, less than three hours, to fill the lotus pot with the current rain."

Wang Di turned into a compliment machine: "Oh my god, you've accomplished so much in such a short time! No wonder our boss always praises you!"

The few of them simply ignored the roof that was deliberately damaged, and after talking, they went to Wang Di's previous room to rest. They had no intention of settling the score with Cui Xueyi.

Ling Jiushi was very worried. "Recently, no matter what level of sect, the hostility of the people who have passed through seems to be getting worse and worse..."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but sigh. "All the authorities can do right now is wait for us to close the world as soon as possible. They also need to organize personnel to understand the situation of each guild. Anyone experiencing psychological problems should contact the authorities immediately. After all, most of the psychologists needed for psychological counseling have already gathered with the authorities."

Although Wang Di is not a naive person, she is more self-aware than the three people in front of her. After hearing such big news, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Such big news, everyone just said it directly in front of me, isn't it a bit bad..."

Ruan Lanzhu smiled and said, "Since we've said this to your face, it proves that you'll have to know about these things sooner or later. Go back and talk to the other members of your White Deer Guild. At the moment, the official is still very trustworthy."

Jiang Xinxin also smiled and said, "However, I must remind you that if anyone commits any illegal acts in the world of the Gate, the authorities are full of capable people who can discover the clues. If they confess voluntarily, they will only receive a verbal warning. If they resist stubbornly, they will definitely be severely punished."

"After all, you know that the authorities are trying to close the world of the gate, so no matter who breaks the law in the world of the gate, they will be punished according to the law."

Before entering the world of the Gate, Wang Di was an ordinary, law-abiding citizen. Hearing Jiang Xinxin's words, he felt more at ease, even a little excited. "Oh, everyone else is wondering why the Gate world is such a big deal, but the authorities haven't taken any action yet. It turns out the authorities have been doing so much behind the scenes!"

Early the next morning, Sao Qing Niang was indeed replaced by another person. The noise made by Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi in searching the owner's room yesterday had alarmed Cui Xueyi. When everyone went to get the umbrella today, Cui Xueyi, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, took action first and got the umbrella.

Jiang Xinxin grabbed the umbrella directly, but when she tried to open it, she found that it couldn't be opened at all, so she pulled out the key from the handshake.

Cui Xueyi got furious when he saw the key. He took advantage of everyone's inattention and held Wang Di hostage. "If you want this little girl alive, you have to exchange the umbrella for the key!"

"otherwise--"

Cui Xueyi exerted a little force and a bloody mark appeared on Wang Di's neck.

Wang Di realized she was holding back. Although she wanted to live, she didn't want to cause trouble for everyone if the situation didn't allow it. She especially didn't want to trouble Jiang Xinxin, so she couldn't help but shout with a trembling voice, "Don't worry about me, just get out of here quickly. Cui Xueyi will get his comeuppance sooner or later anyway!"

Cui Xueyi was furious at Wang Di, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Well, this little girl is really kind and loyal. People like her are becoming increasingly rare in the world of the sect. You claim to be different from us, but are you going to watch her die innocently?"

Jiang Xinxin simply waved her umbrella to distract Cui Xueyi's attention, and the next moment she used the umbrella to cut off Cui Xueyi's arm holding the dagger.

As soon as Wang Di escaped, he rushed to Jiang Xinxin. The four of them searched the master's room for a long time with the key, but couldn't find the place where the key was needed. Wang Di guessed: "Maybe this key is the key to open the door?"

The umbrella was broken, so someone had to look after Sao Qing Niang if they wanted to go out. Jiang Xinxin decided to stay and look after Sao Qing Niang, and asked Wang Di to take Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi to the academy to find a tutor.

At night, Cui Xueyi actually sent people to kill people directly. Gu Siyuan did not succeed because of everyone's precautions, but instead confessed all his secrets. However, when Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi dragged Gu Siyuan to confront Cui Xueyi, Gu Siyuan was contaminated by the rain water left on the roof that Cui Xueyi had smashed, and he walked straight to the middle of the yard and was turned into a sky-sweeping lady.

Ruan Lanzhu got angry and pushed Cui Xueyi out of the room to get him wet with rain, completely ignoring Cui Xueyi's so-called big plan of Yan Balang.

The next day, Jiang Xinxin, Ruan Lanzhu and the others agreed that they would take down the Sky-Sweeping Goddess in four hours and sing a nursery rhyme to make it start raining. After the lotus pot outside the study in the academy was filled with water, she would hang up the Sky-Sweeping Goddess again and go to meet up with everyone.

The operation went smoothly. After the lotus pot was filled with water, a beautiful pink flower bloomed. Ling Jiushi took out a kaleidoscope from the lotus and opened the door smoothly. However, Ruan Lanzhu saw that the clue for the next door was "two people go and one person returns", and he immediately had a very bad premonition.
