Did she think too much?

Shen Qin began to suspect him in her heart.

But if the Grand Preceptor Pang didn't get off the palanquin, why would his palanquin come out from that alley?

Shen Qin did not give up, she searched around the room again, but still could not find the location of the mechanism.

"Where did the Grand Preceptor Pang leave from?"

Shen Qin's brows furrowed even harder. After searching for so long and still being unable to find anything, she decided to leave for the time being.

There must be a problem with this courtyard, Grand Preceptor Pang wouldn't come only once.

Thinking of this, she walked out of the wooden house. After taking a few steps, she realized something and stopped.

Her gaze turned towards the pile of hay at the side. It was a mess, but Shen Qin felt that something was amiss.

Although she couldn't tell what was wrong with it, Shen Qin still followed her instincts and walked over to the pile of hay.

His elbow touched a bundle of hay standing beside him, and he saw that it was still.

Shen Qin's eyes lit up. She placed her hand on the licorice plant and turned it to the left, and a low and soft opening sound came from the door under her feet.

She lowered her head and saw a small opening on the ground filled with dried grass that was big enough for one person to enter through. Shen Qin did not hesitate either and quietly walked down.

Just as he reached the end, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man resounding from the depths of the tunnel, "Why have you come to find me today?"

Shen Qin's ears were pressed against the wall, carefully listening for the voices in front of him.

"I want you to do something for me."

Shen Qin was very familiar with this voice. It was the current Grand Tutor, Pang Jing.

As expected, the Grand Preceptor Pang was here.

Shen Qin's eyes narrowed, but she didn't have time to think too much into it. She heard the voice of the middle-aged man that she didn't recognize continue, "What does the Grand Preceptor want me to do?"

Shen Qin did not hear Grand Preceptor Pang's voice, she only saw him whisper to the man, then she heard the man ask: "Why?"

Grand Preceptor Pang's face revealed a trace of impatience. It was just that at this moment, he had a request from someone, so he could only patiently explain in the man's ear.

Shen Qin could not understand what the Grand Preceptor Pang wanted the middle aged man to do, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Otherwise, there was no need for him to come here sneakily.

"Hahaha, the Grand Preceptor is truly resourceful. With your help, we can definitely achieve great things. When the time comes, we'll definitely remember your contributions, Grand Preceptor Pang."

When the middle-aged man finished listening to what the Grand Preceptor Pang had to say, he started laughing loudly.

The man's words, caused Shen Qin's brows to slightly furrow, and she still wanted to continue listening to what they had to say. In the secret room, a weak light reflected off a figure behind her.

The instant she turned around, she took a palm in her chest. The person who struck out had an extremely quick speed that was far above hers, and with this palm, Shen Qin could tell that he had retracted some of his strength, but he was still able to shock her back a few steps, and a fishy stench came out of her mouth.

"Who is it?"

Hearing the commotion, the middle aged man and the Grand Preceptor Pang walked over quickly. Shen Qin saw that the man who injured her was looking at the two of them, and so they looked over to Shen Qin.

The moment Grand Preceptor Pang saw Shen Qin, he was startled. It was clear that he had not come to this harmless looking young lady from the Shen Clan, who was usually just a group with Liu Ruo Qing.

Normally, he would only think of her as a daughter from a prestigious clan.

Grand Preceptor Pang was someone who had gone through a lot and after staring at Shen Qin blankly for a few seconds, she laughed, "I never thought that Miss Shen would be able to find me here."

Shen Qin knew that it would be very difficult for her to escape from this place now, so she decided to give up on this idea.

She suppressed her aching heart and looked at Grand Preceptor Pang's fake smile: "Grand Preceptor Pang, I didn't think that you would actually dare to do such a thing."

Actually, Shen Qin did not know what Grand Preceptor Pang was planning to do at the moment, and was only trying to trick him.

Even someone like the Grand Preceptor Pang, who had such deep thoughts, was unexpectedly thinking that Shen Qin was trying to trick him. Hearing her say that, a trace of undetectable panic flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down.

"Since you know what this old man wants to do, then don't blame me for letting you down, Miss Shen."

What the Grand Preceptor Pang said caused Shen Qin to be even more certain of her previous guess, and especially what the middle-aged man said about "Master Accomplishment" to the Grand Preceptor Pang, made Shen Qin's expression change a little.

She had heard from her subordinates that the Pavilion Master had sent them to secretly investigate the situation regarding xieqing and Nanling. Could it be that the Grand Preceptor Pang was also involved in this matter?

If that was the case, then this old thing, the Grand Preceptor Pang, would be colluding with the enemy and selling out the country.

This damned old thing!

Shen Qin cursed in her heart as she heard Grand Preceptor Pang say to the man who had injured her before: "Capture this girl and take good care of his."

The middle-aged man looked at Grand Preceptor Pang, his face filled with puzzlement, "She already knows about us, why didn't we just kill her to avoid trouble, why should we keep her?"

"Keep her. Perhaps she might have some use in the future. Don't be in a hurry to kill her."

Grand Preceptor Pang said as he walked out. He said to the man that appeared behind him: "Watch her closely, don't let her escape."

"Yes."

Just as Grand Preceptor Pang was about to go out, he heard Shen Qin sneer, she stopped in her tracks, turned, and looked at her.

"The Grand Preceptor's been through three dynasties already. You're the traitor who colluded with the enemy to sell off the country. Even if these people succeeded, do you think they'll leave a heartless and disloyal person like you behind?"

Grand Preceptor Pang's face twitched when he heard what Shen Qin said, he subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man, then looked at Shen Qin, hiding the thoughts in his heart. He snorted coldly at Shen Qin, "Think about it carefully, will you still be alive in the future?"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and walked out of the dark room.

The middle-aged man did not leave, but looked at Shen Qin, taunting him in disdain, "Did you think that your words just now could change Grand Preceptor Pang's mind? Since he has boarded this ship, there is no possibility of him getting down. "

Shen Qin's eyes did not speak, and after the middle-aged man also left, her brows slightly knitted.

Originally, she had only guessed that the Grand Preceptor Pang was a traitor, but when she said that, no one denied it.

In other words, the Grand Preceptor Pang was indeed a traitor, and that middle-aged man was either the xieqing or someone from the Nanling.
