Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone simultaneously gathered their heads to examine the few mysterious characters circled in red on the wall. They compared them to the ones in Qiaoqiao’s master’s handwritten letter.
As expected, her Master had written in the same language and encircled it in red. Beneath were small words marked: Stop.
“Look, my master wrote it too!” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao exclaimed joyfully, pointing at the bird runes on the right passageway and displaying the words in the small notebook.
Her Master had added two unmistakable words below the birds: Treasure! She had even drawn an arrow to signify progress.
Shock overcame everyone, and bewildered glances were exchanged.
“Qiaoqiao, could the master of this secret realm…’
“It has to be your Master!”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao scratched her petite head and shook it. “Impossible! My master has never been to this place.”
“How do you know?”
“I just deduced it,” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao stated earnestly. “My master wouldn’t bother with such distant trouble. She can’t even take care of her child promptly…”
“Besides, the Master of this secret realm probably couldn’t leave initially, just like Little Monkey. How could my master have been imprisoned by others for so many years? It’s impossible!”
‘Isn’t that right, kid?’
The little fellow’s expression wavered, her twinkling eyes reflecting uncertainty.
What was her Master’s son’s name again? Why was her memory so faulty? Did the sapling mention her memory was still sealed?
“Qiaoqiao.” MO Lian reached out, grasping her little paw. “It’s okay if you can’t remember. You’ll recall more slowly.”
Qiao Mu nodded, urging him toward the right passageway. “Let’s go!” They traversed the right passageway without encountering any hindrances and reached the entrance of the nine stone chambers mentioned by Ma Ta.
“Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, I entered the fifth stone room earlier. There was a stone inside. I picked it up and got ejected.”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao strolled around the nine small stone rooms and suddenly noticed a line of small words clearly engraved on the door of the first stone room.
The correct path to enter the next level: Please choose the fifth gate.
Almost bursting into laughter, everyone engaged in lively discussion, bombarding Dao Seeking with questions. “Hey, Ma Ta, did you see this line of words and then push open the fifth door?” This level of intelligence…
Could the secret realm be so easily cleared?
The deceptive nature of the fifth gate had confounded generations…
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao suppressed a smirking smile in her heart, maintaining a composed expression.
Quickly scanning through the notes left behind by her Master, she eagerly searched for information on treasure hunting in the secret realm.
“Here, here!” She exclaimed with excitement, rushing up with the letter. She examined the bird notes drawn beside the gate one by one, pointing at the first door. “This! This, this, the fifth gate.”
MO Lian, Duan Yue, and the little monk curiously gathered around.
True to expectations, the bird notes on the first door corresponded to the row of numbers on the little fellow’s Master’s letter.
The little fellow said with enthusiasm, “See, my master is truly a genius! Her 0123456789 can correspond to more than ten different bird word talismans.”
Everyone nodded in unison. The bird notes engraved on this door were among the dozen or so numerical methods marked by her Master. One of them.. “Qiaoqiao, did Murong Xun leave this behind?” Duan Yue asked with a bewildered expression..
