Chapter 206 - Sorry
Qing Mo kept her face tilted to the right, her beautiful almond eyes wide open. She must have been dreaming just now, otherwise why would Xiao hit her? Yes, she must be dreaming!
"Xiao...Xiao..." Qing Mo's lips trembled, not knowing what to say. She could only keep calling this name that made her feel at ease.
Mu Zhixiao slowly buried her head in Qingmo's arms, and her shoulders began to tremble constantly. Qingmo knew that her Zhixiao was crying and she made him sad.
"Mo'er, you think you are great for doing this, right? If I had come a little later, I would have died with my eyes open!" Mu Zhixiao murmured.
"Xiao, I'm sorry!" Qing Mo hugged his head and began to cry, venting all the fear he had just felt.
After half an incense stick of time, Qing Mo's emotions gradually stabilized. When she saw the Third Elder lying on the ground, she patted Mu Zhixiao's shoulder and said, "Xiao, I found a way to save you. That is to find the Spirit Tiger Blood Jade in the Dark Ancestral Hall!"
"That is the forbidden area of the Mu family. Except for the successive heads of the family, no one is qualified to enter. Mo'er, we cannot violate the ancestral rules." Mu Zhixiao said weakly, holding Qingmo's hand.
"Xiao, don't you want to grow old with me, and let me bear children for you, so that we can live happily together for the rest of our lives? Even if we can't return to Dongchu in this lifetime, we will have no regrets."
Finally, unable to resist Qing Mo's tearful attack, Mu Zhixiao agreed and decided to accompany her to the Dark Ancestral Hall to find the Spirit Tiger Blood Jade.
"Xiao, let's go, I'll help you!" Qingmo, who found hope, was as happy as a child.
"Wait, Mo'er, since the Third Elder can tell you about this, he must have investigated the Mu family's affairs thoroughly and should know where the secret ancestral hall is. Search this room and you should be able to find some clues."
Qing Mo searched for a long time but didn't find anything related to the records of the Dark Ancestral Hall. He returned to the bed in disappointment and shook his head at Mu Zhixiao.
"Mo'er, there seem to be two wooden boxes under the bed!"
Qing Mo took great pains to drag the wooden box out from under the bed, then searched the third elder's body and indeed found the key to the box, then happily opened the lid.
"Ah... ugh..." Qingmo screamed, then turned around and squatted at the door and began to vomit continuously.
"Mo'er, why are you..." Mu Zhixiao sat up slowly, and when he saw the things in the box, he also vomited like Qingmo, lying on the edge of the bed.
After Qing Mo finished speaking, a corner of the notebook kept flashing in her mind. Where on earth did she see it? That thing must be what she was looking for! Where on earth did she see it! Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and Qing Mo stood up with a tingling scalp and walked towards the box.
"Mo'er, don't go over there!"
Qing Mo covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from vomiting, and his eyes fell on the box. Inside was none other than a young girl who had died tragically. The girl's naked body was covered with scars. Who else could it be but Xuer, the maid who had disappeared a few days ago!
She actually died in the Third Elder's room. One can easily guess what happened to her.
Under the curled up body of the girl was a corner of the notebook that Qingmo had seen.
Qing Mo covered his mouth with one hand and reached out for the notebook with the other hand tremblingly. When his hand touched the notebook, he suddenly pulled it out, without even looking at the corpse, and quickly closed the lid of the box.
"I didn't expect that a dignified elder would do such a thing! He is truly a scum of the Mu family!" Mu Zhixiao said with indignation and contempt.
"Xiao, we don't care who he is anymore. Can you see if there are any clues in this notebook that can help us find the dark ancestral hall?" Qing Mo tore off the blood-stained cover and handed the notebook to Mu Zhixiao.
Mu Zhixiao flipped through the notebook quietly, the sarcastic curve on the corner of his mouth getting deeper and deeper. The ambition of this third elder was really huge. He was really greedy and didn't even consider whether he had the talent and vision.
"Xiao, what's going on?" Qingmo asked anxiously.
"Here is a map to the Dark Ancestral Hall. It even records the layout of the mechanisms in the Dark Ancestral Hall in great detail. With this notebook, it shouldn't be difficult for us to find the Spirit Tiger Blood Jade."
