Elder Tong Xuan furrowed his brows tightly and said after a while, "Alright then, but there’s a more secluded courtyard on the west side. You must not go there; otherwise, I won’t be able to save you..."
"The west side?" Mu Ruyue pondered for a mont, her eyes lightly flashing, "Okay, I understand."
Since the West Garden prohibits any entry, Mu Ruyue believes there must be sothing hidden there.
Therefore, no matter what, she must go there to investigate...
...
The trees are lush and green.
Although the West Garden is secluded, it is surrounded by a forest, and doesn’t remotely look like an uninhabited place...
"Is this the West Garden?"
Mu Ruyue frowned slightly, a gleam flashing in her eyes: "Wuchen, have you noticed there are two powerful forces here..."
"Indeed."
Ye Wuchen tightly embraced her waist, a peculiar glow flickering in his purple eyes.
"There’s definitely sothing different here. Since no one cos here, why send guards?"
Mu Ruyue’s eyes gradually darkened.
"I heard from Aunt Yu that Father was wounded by the Dan Family because a spy from the Divine Sect plotted against him. Now Zhu Ziyu wants to kill him; could that spy be related to her?"
Emotions can easily lead to loss of reason. On the surface, Zhu Ziyu seems respectful toward Wu Wang, but who knows what she actually thinks in private.
Thus, after hearing Lin Ruoyu’s words, the first person Mu Ruyue suspected was Zhu Ziyu...
"Wuchen, it’s enough that we know there are issues here. Let’s leave first without alerting them; otherwise, it won’t be beneficial for our actions."
Mu Ruyue slowly retreated.
Before leaving, she glanced back at the West Garden, a cold gleam in her eyes...
What exactly is hidden here? No matter what, she needs to figure this out...
Just as she stepped into the room, Mu Ruyue saw Elder Tong Xuan coming to et her, visibly relieved upon seeing her.
"Girl, you’re back. Get ready; the Alchemy Master conference will start soon."
Mu Ruyue nodded. Suddenly, she seed to rember sothing and asked, "Elder Tong Xuan, have you ever been to the West Garden?"
Tong Xuan looked at Mu Ruyue with confusion, "Why are you asking this? The West Garden used to be accessible, but ever since Miss Zi Yu took over the Divine Sect a thousand years ago, it’s been forbidden."
A thousand years ago?
Mu Ruyue stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Is it really such a coincidence? That it started a thousand years ago...
"Elder Tong Xuan, do you know what’s inside the West Garden?"
"Well..."
Tong Xuan furrowed his brows, shaking his head, and said, "I don’t know; I’ve never been there and have no idea what’s inside..."
Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed through Mu Ruyue’s eyes, as she carefully scrutinized Tong Xuan.
"Aren’t you curious? If there’s supposedly nothing inside the West Garden, why are you forbidden from going there, and the timing matches exactly a thousand years ago..."
Tong Xuan’s heart trembled, his brows tightly furrowed, he asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"No, I’m just curious."
Mu Ruyue softly curled her lips and said lightly.
She rely hinted, trusting that Tong Xuan, being smart, would understand her implications.
Sure enough, Tong Xuan pondered deeply, and after a while, he finally looked at Mu Ruyue.
