Why did you provoke me?

The long-haired man hadn't heard Yu Meng speak for a long time. He couldn't help but look up in the direction she was standing.

"But is something wrong?"

Yu Meng smiled bitterly. What could she say? That you shouldn't have mentioned her in front of the Jing family head?

Or ask him why he mentioned her in front of outsiders?

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts.

"Although you haven't met that beautiful woman, she has already laid a trap and is just waiting for me to come." Yu Meng's tone was self-deprecating.

"How could that be? She has no idea about our relationship."

"You've forgotten who brought you here."

Yu Meng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the long-haired man's head.

After a long pause, he answered softly, "I've dragged you into this."

Yu Meng had calmed down. "There's no point in saying all this. With the Jing family's power, if they wanted to take action against me, it would only be a matter of minutes."

"I know. I won't stand idly by," the long-haired man promised.

"I hope you can do it," was all Yu Meng could say.

She didn't want to stay in this place anymore; without realizing it, she seemed to have been drawn into their vortex.

Yu Meng's body slowly floated up. The long-haired man saw that she was about to leave and hurriedly called out.

"Yu Meng, can the cripple ever recover?"

Yu Meng didn't linger, but she still replied with a sentence.

"Take it out and find another spirit medium to take a look. This is all the medicine I can do."

After leaving the small house, Yu Meng felt very stifled. Therefore, she did not leave immediately, but returned to the beautiful woman's room.

After surveying the room and confirming that the beautiful woman had left, Yu Meng floated back into the room for the second time.

She remained suspended in mid-air, her right eye darting around, revealing every secret of the room to her.

The doors and windows of the room were all protected by arrays. Every seating area, whether a small couch or a chair, contained ingenious mechanisms. Once you sat down, if the owner so desired, you would have no chance of escape.

Even the floor beneath the white carpet has a series of hidden mechanisms.

Yu Meng was not familiar with mechanical arts, nor had she studied them.

But as the saying goes, it may take you months or even a year to make something, but it may only take you an instant to destroy it.

The energy of the formation was the Overlord's favorite, so Yu Meng didn't hesitate and directly absorbed 99% of the energy from the formation at the window and door.

The formation is still there, but its power has been reduced to the point where it would shatter at the slightest touch.

Yu Meng glanced at the small couch where the beautiful woman was lying, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

Imagine a beautiful woman resting on a couch when she suddenly embarks on a wondrous journey. I wonder how she would feel.

Yu Meng is incredibly skilled with her hands. Having come up with something fun, she modified the underground mechanisms according to her ideas.

After working for a good half hour, she finally clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction.

I hope you like this gift.

With a joyful heart, Yu Meng rose into the night sky and then departed gracefully.

After Yu Meng left, the long-haired man squatted down in front of the cripple.

"You heard what Yu Meng said just now. What do you think we should do?"

The lame man's eyes suddenly opened, and his voice was hoarse: "She passed our test."

"Yes, she passed. But her trust in us has probably dropped to zero."

The cripple's smile was somewhat sinister. "What does it matter?"

"What are you planning to do?" The long-haired man simply sat down on the ground. "And stop laughing."

"Give her my token, give her all my power." An excited glint shone in the cripple's eyes. It was a resolute determination, and also an expectation.

After a long pause, the long-haired man finally spoke. "Can she subdue your people?"

After a long silence, the light in the cripple's eyes dimmed.

"I don't know. She has the ability, but she doesn't seem to have the ambition. Sigh, what about you?"

"Me? I've already given her two of my things, and I don't know what the situation is with the rest. It's hard to say right now."

"Hey, you with long hair, what have we been fighting over our whole lives for?"

"I don't know, but at least we're still alive. If we hadn't come here, we might have already vanished into thin air."

"You long-haired one, you can leave now. Don't worry about me anymore. If a second person saw me like this, I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

The long-haired man scoffed, "You might as well stay alive. At least three people have already seen you. Your conditions from those two people no longer apply. Besides, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to act anymore."

The cripple opened his mouth, "It's not that I don't want to live, but can you take me out like this?"

"I knew you weren't really looking to die." The long-haired man's tone relaxed. "Don't forget, I know every single place here. Even if she added some things, the overall layout won't change."

The cripple sneered, "If you're so capable, how come you still got outsmarted? If it weren't for Yu Meng, we'd both be fish on a chopping board."

"Isn't this real? Otherwise, do you think someone as shrewd as Yu Meng wouldn't be able to tell we're putting on an act?"

"If you have long hair and admit you're not good enough, I won't laugh at you."

"Don't talk about me, what about you? Did you foresee this kind of ending?"

The cripple sighed. "I saw our ending. But I didn't see Yu Meng's. Now, even our ending has been ruined by Yu Meng."

The long-haired man frowned. "Didn't you see Yu Meng's ending, or can't you see it clearly?"

"Does it make a difference? It's all the same, no result."

"Of course there's a difference. If you don't see them, it means they're not even in your field of vision. If you can't see them clearly, it means you're not skilled enough."

The two people were discussing something in the dark, dilapidated shack. If Yu Meng were here, she would be absolutely stunned.

The cripple finally relented, "Fine, you're right, my skills are lacking. So what are you going to do?"

"What for?" The long-haired man stood up. "Of course, to shut that woman up. We can't let her really go after Yu Meng."

"You're insane! Killing her will throw the Jing family into chaos!" the cripple practically shouted.

The long-haired man coughed lightly. "What are you thinking? After all, we're from the same place. No matter what, I wouldn't kill him."

"That's fine, at least she didn't kill us. Even though we've fallen to this point, which is practically the same as death, she really didn't lay a hand on us."

Both of them fell silent. They came from the same sect and were exiled to this lower plane together. They should have supported each other and stood together through thick and thin. How did things turn out like this?

After a long silence, the lame man's voice rang out again, "Go ahead. If she finds me in two days, I should be able to walk for an hour."

As for where he will be or how far he will go an hour from now, who knows?
