"I don't believe a word you say."
Seeing that Jiang Yourning didn't believe it, the system sent its CPU into overdrive.
A dozen seconds later, it spoke again: [But host, I found the exit of the secret passage connecting the Taoist Temple to the Imperial Palace.]
"Where?"
Jiang Yourning's eyes lit up, and she was instantly hooked.
Her thousand taels of gold, her red coral...
She had almost forgotten something so important.
[Now do you believe I really came here to serve you, host?]
"Yeah! Quick, quick, quick! Where is it?"
Jiang Yourning nodded furiously.
Beside her, Jiang Wanrong and the others were baffled to see her suddenly grinning so slyly.
"Ningning, what's gotten into you?"
"Ahem!" Jiang Yourning coughed hard twice, then looked at her three companions. "You all heard about how I accidentally destroyed the mechanism for the secret passage at Azure Cloud Temple, right?"
"Of course! Jiang Yourning, your dumb luck is incredible. You actually stumbled onto the mechanism just by getting hit by a sundial.
Speaking of which, the National Preceptor really lives up to his reputation. His prediction was far too accurate."
Chu Lange laughed, admiration for Qing Qianxue rising in her eyes again.
"So... Ningning, are you planning to keep looking for that secret passage?"
Jiang Wanrong quickly figured out Jiang Yourning's intentions.
Her little sister never rose early unless there was profit in it.
Even with its entrance destroyed, that secret passage remained a threat to the imperial family. If her sister really found it, another imperial reward would hardly be excessive.
"You're so clever, Sis!" Jiang Yourning nodded at once. "So, shall we all look for it together?"
"I like that idea!"
Little Wukong's eyes instantly lit up.
Chu Lange quickly nodded beside him, too.
And so.
