Taking this opportunity, the old lady led the group to the cherry tree. After she pressed a stone with her hand, they saw an additional hole in the ground. Surprised, the group quickly entered the tunnel and closed the entrance.
Then, the group walked along the tunnel at the back.
“Hey, don’t you guys think we’ve been in tunnels quite often recently?! We escaped from that inn through the tunnel just a few days ago, and then we escaped through the tunnel a few days later!” Shu Ruyue muttered as she walked.
The old lady was puzzled when she heard Shu Ruyue’s words.
“What do you mean? You’ve met those people before?”
“That’s right. We met at Yuelai Inn previously. At that time, those people also wanted to kill us. Fortunately, we were good at martial arts and escaped. It was all thanks to him for leading us through the tunnel that we escaped from the besieged inn! These people actually found us so quickly!” Shu Ruyue said curiously.
When the woman heard Shu Ruyue’s words, her expression changed.
However, everyone was focused on looking around and didn’t notice the change in the woman’s expression.
The only person who noticed the change in the woman’s emotions was Li Xiaoran.
There were only seven people in the tunnel.
Li Xiaoran could sense everyone’s emotions clearly.
At this moment, when the woman’s emotions changed, Li Xiaoran noticed it immediately.
On second thought, there seemed to be many extraordinary things about this woman!
At least an ordinary person wouldn’t lure her into a dream, let alone see her in it.
One had to know that when Li Xiaoran entered dreams previously, only Luo Cheng could see her.
However, that only happened because Luo Cheng was very familiar with her.
One had to know that when Li Xiaoran entered Luo Cheng’s dream, Luo Cheng couldn’t see her at first.
All kinds of signs indicated that this woman might have an extraordinary identity!
Out of curiosity, Li Xiaoran glanced at the old lady.
The woman was also very sharp. Sensing that Li Xiaoran was sizing her up, she asked, “Little girl, why are you looking at me?”
“No, I just find you familiar!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile. When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she laughed.
“Actually, I think you look very familiar too!”
Li Xiaoran smiled and didn’t say anything else.
After that, the group continued walking in silence.
After what seemed like an eternity, the group finally emerged from the secret passage.
At this moment, the group was in a canyon. They were surrounded by cliffs and couldn’t see any way out.
“Go to the left. We’ll be there soon!” the woman instructed.
Before long, the group realized that a house had appeared not far away.
“Go in! This house is my home!” The woman said when she saw that everyone had stopped.
“Your home?” Everyone looked at the woman in surprise.
Even the old man carrying the woman was confused because this was the first time he had heard that his wife had such a home after being married for so many years.
Without explaining, the woman took out a key and handed it to her son to open the door.
When she walked in, she saw that the home was filled with weeds and looked very desolate.
“Let’s go to the hall! We’ll rest there for the time being!” The woman said.
Luo Cheng looked around and thought for a moment before holding Li Xiaoran’s hand.
Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was worried about her, so she smiled at him and the couple followed the old man’s family in.
Because no one had lived in it for a long time, the furniture and the ground in the hall were piled with dust.
After Li Xiaoran took a look around, she said, “There’s a lot of wormwood outside and it’s very lush. Let’s go cut some and tie them together to make a broom! Then, let’s clean up the dust here first!”
The others also felt that this was the only way. After all, there was too much dust here.
The old man carried the woman out of the hall and went to the stone stairs. Then, he let the old lady sit on the weed-covered steps.
“Sit here and rest. I’ll help too!” the old man advised her.
The woman nodded and pointed in a direction.
“The well is over there. There’s a lid made of stone on it. Move the lid and let the well open. Then, get some water later and wipe the tables and chairs inside with a cloth.’
With that, the woman thought of something and said, “By the way, there’s a
rag in the wooden cabinet in the hall. Although it’s been eight years, it should still be usable!”
The old man nodded and followed the direction the woman pointed to in order to find the well.
Luo Cheng also brought Li Xiaoran, Wu Qinghe, and Shu Ruyue to the courtyard to cut wormwood.
Martial artists carried daggers with them, so it wasn’t difficult for them to cut some wormwood.
Soon, a few brooms were made. Then, everyone quickly brought them to the hall to clean up.
Luo Cheng didn’t want Li Xiaoran to be tired, so he let her sit on the steps outside and wait.
After the woman stared at Li Xiaoran for a while, she suddenly said, “I feel like
I’ve seen you somewhere before!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she thought to herself, “We’ve seen each other in your dreams! Fortunately, most people forget about their dreams after they wake up.”
Therefore, Li Xiaoran wasn’t worried about the woman remembering it.
“Maybe I’ve really seen you in a dream before!”
The old lady thought about it again, but she couldn’t think of anything. In the end, she gave up.
“Girl, can you tell me in detail how you met those men in black previously?!” The old lady thought of something else and asked.
Li Xiaoran didn’t hide anything and told her about how they had been trapped in the inn.
After Li Xiaoran finished speaking, the old lady sighed.
“So that’s what happened! I really didn’t expect Longevity Hall to appear again after so many years!”
“Longevity Hall? What’s that?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
The old lady thought of something and spoke.
“There are many martial artists in the martial world, and there are also many sects. The Longevity Hall suddenly appeared in the martial world. No one knows the origin of the Longevity Hall, but when the Longevity Hall appeared, everyone in the martial world knew about it. Whenever the Longevity Hall appears, something big will definitely happen!”
“Then is the Longevity Hall good or bad?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion..
