Chapter 1929: New Master of Tiancang Pavilion
Wan Shufang's concern and comfort made Minghe cry even more. Thinking of her father's worried words in the letter, everything in the past gradually emerged in her mind.
They were a family that had been living a happy and stable life, why did it end up like this?
She cried harder and harder. Wan Shufang and the others didn't dare to disturb her. They could only stand by silently. She cried for an unknown amount of time until Minghe stopped crying. She seemed to have figured something out. There was a strong hatred in her eyes.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, I will make those who harmed our family pay the price."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded gently: "In this case, let's set off. We must go to this Bhikkhu City."
After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked in front. Minghe put away the letter and the wooden sign. The lock had been unlocked, and now the box could be picked up, so she took the box away with her.
They had not taken a few steps when the cave suddenly began to shake. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's faces changed and they felt something was wrong.
Realizing that this place was likely to collapse, Chen Changli didn't care too much and grabbed Wan Shufang and Minghe on the left and right: "Shufang, Miss Minghe, hold on to me and don't let go, otherwise we will be separated."
"Everyone, the cave is about to collapse, let's rush out."
"Yes!" the secret guard responded, leaving two people to cover the rear, while the rest led the way and quickly escaped from the cave.
The cave collapsed very quickly. Wan Shufang could even feel the flying sand behind her. The second after they stepped out of the cave, there was a loud 'boom' and the entire cave behind them collapsed, sealing it tightly without any cracks left.
Seeing this scene, Wan Shufang couldn't help but pat her chest and said, "Luckily, we got out. If we were a step later, we would all be turned into meat patties and buried alive in there."
"Shufang, are you okay?"
Chen Changli let go of Minghe's hand and looked at Wan Shufang carefully. After making sure that she was not injured, he finally felt relieved.
"I'm fine, where's Minghe?"
Minghe shook his head. At least they had escaped death, and smiles appeared on their faces. After resting for a while, they continued their journey overnight, crossed the desert, and saw the real Bhikkhu City.
As soon as she entered the city, Wan Shufang could feel that this place was different from all the towns and villages she had seen before. The towns and villages she had seen before were almost all very prosperous and bustling.
But this place is extremely deserted. Everyone seems to be only concerned with their own affairs. They are completely indifferent even to outsiders and don't even give them a glance.
This puzzled Wan Shufang: "Changli, why does this place feel a bit weird?"
Normally, when seeing outsiders, people will inevitably be curious and look at them, but the people in Bhikkhu City just ignore everything.
Chen Changli looked around and saw that those people were breathing steadily. He said, "At least they are all alive. It's okay. Let's go in and take a look first."
"Hey, the way you talk makes it sound like the people you meet are not living people. Only living people are scary." Wan Shufang glared at him, walked quickly forward, and walked side by side with Minghe.
The group arrived at the teahouse. The waiter was wiping the table and asked directly without even looking up, "What would you like to drink?"
He was quick and efficient, and the questioning did not delay his work. In just a short while, he had wiped several tables clean. Wan Shufang couldn't help smacking her lips and winked at Minghe.
Minghe nodded and recited the code in a calm tone.
"The sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter stopped bending over. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at the few people with a respectful look on his face.
"Dear guests, please follow me."
The waiter saluted towards them, keeping a very humble attitude. Seeing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other and became silently alert. Then they followed the waiter into the inner room.
The room was empty. Minghe looked at the waiter and said directly without beating around the bush: "I want to see the manager here. Call him out."
"I will report this right away. Please wait for a moment, gentlemen."
The waiter was still respectful. After all, Minghe had just read out the secret code, indicating that the guest was a distinguished guest. He did not dare to offend the guest, so after Minghe nodded, he retreated obediently.
Not long after, a fat man appeared, squinted at the few people, and said loudly: "I am the manager here, who is looking for me?"
Looking at the fat man's arrogant look, Minghe frowned subconsciously, but thinking of her father's words, she endured it, said nothing, and just took out the token.
"I'm looking for you. Do you recognize this?"
Seeing the token, the fat man was shocked and his expression became complicated, but it was only a moment, he pointed at Wan Shufang and his group and shouted: "How dare you, ignorant kid, to forge a token!"
"Come here, tie them up for me."
At the fat man's command, dozens of people in cloth rushed in. Looking at those people, Chen Changli subconsciously protected Wan Shufang behind him and his face turned ugly.
"These people are highly skilled in martial arts. If we fight them head-on, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to resist them."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang's heart sank and she stared at the fat man. The group was getting closer and closer. They were surrounded. They were outnumbered and could not win, so they could only endure their patience for the time being.
Soon, Chen Changli and his group were tied up and forced to kneel on the ground.
The fat man snatched the token and looked at it carefully again. The shock in his eyes increased instead of decreasing. "Well, you are such a bold thief. You forged the token and made it so realistic."
"You are bullying us. Do you really think that there is no one in our Tiancang Pavilion?"
It seemed that he was very angry. The fat on his face kept trembling while he was talking, which made him look very scary. He clenched the token in his hand and narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to deal with Chen Changli and his group.
Minghe was already furious when the token was taken away from her. Now that he accused her like this, her eyes were slightly red. She immediately explained: "The token is real. It was given to me by my father. Let me go."
"Hey, you still dare to quibble. I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Just wait and see how I deal with you."
The fat man looked around, as if looking for a handy tool. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not say anything, but just looked around quietly, looking for a breakthrough.
If Minghe cannot prove his identity, then they will have no choice but to break through the encirclement and must not fall into the hands of Tiancang Pavilion.
"We really didn't forge the token. This token is real." Minghe struggled, but was pinned down again. A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly remembered what was written in her father's letter.
"I know the secret of the token, which is enough to prove my identity!"
"This token is unique to the Luo family. When you put it in water, you can see the word Luo. You are the manager of the secret stake left by Tiancang Pavilion, so you should be very clear about this."
Minghe stared at the fat man with sharp eyes. Her aura intimidated the fat man for a moment and made him silent.
