Wicked Thoughts

"Isn't he scared coming down the mountain so late?"

Seeing Fang Zelin turn and leave without looking back, the maids beside him were somewhat astonished.

"Perhaps they have something to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Wu Biling frowned slightly and said something.

She simply shook her head; this matter had little to do with her, as she already had the Wondrous Blossom in her hands.

With her father saved, she had no time to care about anything else.

It was still too dark, and the city gates were already closed.

Even if we went down the mountain now, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Miss, you said he's in such a hurry to leave, could it be that he secretly hired someone to ambush us down the mountain?"

The maid was somewhat worried.

She had already obtained the Wondrous Blossom, but it still felt like a dream.

Therefore, I felt somewhat worried and wary.

"Looking at that young master, he doesn't seem like that kind of person; he didn't even have the thought of asking for the Wondrous Blossom."

Hearing the maid's words, Wu Biling subconsciously shook her head and said.

Since Fang Zelin didn't even intend to ask for Wondrous Blossom Wondrous Blossom, why would he be interested in it?

"That's not necessarily true, Miss. You can know a person's face but not their heart."

The maid was still somewhat worried.

Everyone is here now, except for Fang Zelin, who took advantage of the night to leave first, which makes it hard not to have some doubts.

Hearing her maid say this, Wu Biling became more worried.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go down the mountain too? We can find a place to rest at the foot of the mountain and then go into the city at dawn."

"Yes, there's a dilapidated little house upstairs; we can go there to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately responded.

As the two were talking, the tree spirit beside them grew impatient with Yan Hong'an.

Having cultivated himself to this point, he believed he had a clear conscience and could not accept such an aggressive attitude from a junior.

He immediately turned and prepared to leave.

"It's already unsafe for me to stay here by myself. If you want to find an immortal, go find one yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, the tree spirit let out a muffled groan.

Then he disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the tree spirit disappeared, a rustling sound came from all around.

The sound was like trees swaying.

Hearing this sound, everyone immediately knew that the tree spirit had truly left.

Seeing the tree demon leave, Yan Hong'an was still somewhat incredulous.

He had always thought those immortals were utterly despicable.

But after hearing what the tree spirit said today, he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

The immortals did not turn a blind eye to human suffering as he had imagined.

"Miss, let's go."

Seeing Yan Hong'an obsessive nature, the maid was also a little worried that he might implicate her later.

He gently tugged at his mistress's sleeve and whispered something.

Wu Biling nodded slightly, then gave her servant some instructions before turning and hurrying down the mountain.

As we descended the mountain, guided by the moon, we were able to see the path clearly.

Several servants led the way to prevent anyone from missing a step on the stone steps.

Several servants followed behind, protecting the young lady and her maid.

The two women were completely unaware that the servants behind them were now glaring menacingly.

If the tree spirit were still around, they would be worried that if they took action, the tree spirit would find out and stop them.

But now only these two women remain, and the Wondrous Blossom is in their hands. If a fight breaks out...

The Wondrous Blossom will surely be obtained.

By then, they will be able to break away from the Wu Household!

I've heard that the Great Qian doesn't have travel permits. After making this deal, I can use the large sum of money to live in the Great Qian.

Having thought this through, the group immediately calmed down.

"Miss, it's just ahead. There's a small, dilapidated house there; let's rest there for a bit!"

The group walked down the mountain for several hours, and it was already late at night.

I feel a little tired at this moment.

At this moment, the houses finally came into view.

Upon seeing this, the maid's face lit up with joy, and she immediately said something to her mistress.

Upon hearing this, Wu Biling breathed a slight sigh of relief. Seeing that nothing had happened along the way, she felt much more at ease.

"You let me have it."

Upon arriving at their resting place, Wu Biling instructed someone to prepare firewood so they could start a fire for warmth.

As night deepened, it began to feel rather cold.

She had barely opened her mouth to speak when she was suddenly interrupted.

"Miss, please hand over Wondrous Blossom. I've served you for so long, I don't want to be too harsh."

The servant in front suddenly turned around, a fierce look on his face, and glared at Wu Biling.

The servants behind them silently surrounded the two women.

Wu Biling noticed the situation in an instant, and her expression changed drastically.

What are you going to do?

"Miss, I've made myself clear enough. If you're sensible, hand over this Wondrous Blossom. If you're unwilling, then we'll have to take it from your corpse."

The servants behind her stared at their young mistress's body, a surge of lust rising within them, and with a clang, they drew their long swords.

The maid standing nearby felt a sudden chill run through her body.

Just now, I was on guard against this person and that person, but I never expected this.

Outsiders are fine, but it's our own family that has a thief.

"You think you can rest easy now that you've taken Wondrous Blossom? After staying with the Wu Household for so long, do you really think you can just run away after taking the money?"

The maid took a deep breath and shielded her mistress behind her.

He looked at these people with a panicked expression.

Right now, the only option is to try and deter these traitors within our own ranks.

"Hmph, you just hand over the Wondrous Blossom to us, and don't worry about whether we can escape to distant lands!"

The head servant gave a somewhat impatient snort and then slowly approached the two.

At this moment, however, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the two of them.

"This is medicine to save my father. If you give up, I will have my father reward you with a thousand acres of fertile land and a house. What do you say?"

Seeing that these people were still unwilling to give up, Wu Biling took a deep breath and prepared to use bribes.

"Miss, if you had brought this up when we were descending the mountain, we would have certainly abandoned the idea. But now that you're saying this, it's probably too late."

They were already preparing to take action, so how could they possibly believe what the other side said?

But how can the other party guarantee they won't change their mind after they go back?
