Because of Yan Ling's interference, the two of them did not start a 'quarrel' in the end. Yan Ling felt that they should still go to Red Leaf's room to see if there were any other clues, so he bid farewell to Mu Qingqiu.

In the end, one could not blame Liang He's underlings for being useless. Liang He and Yan Ling had actually long since expected that the reason why Hong Ye was able to escape was definitely because there was a secret passage in the house. But even so, after the two of them had gone around in a circle, they still hadn't found anything.

"Could it be that such a big living person can really fly with wings?" Yan Ling mumbled to himself.

When Liang He saw this scene, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. What Yan Ling said just now was obviously a joke, but after looking around, he didn't find anything. It was also the truth.

Liang He remembered that he had observed the furnishings in the room. Liang He had touched the porcelain vase that was placed in the room, but he couldn't find where the passageway was located.

After a while, Liang He stopped searching blindly. Instead, he began to ponder whether he had missed something. He was right, but he couldn't think of where he had been forgotten.

Yan Ling was weak. He had just recovered from the typhoid fever a few days ago. He had been exhausted mentally and physically during yesterday's banquet. Plus, he had been tormenting himself for a long time today.

Yan Ling rested his hand on the bed railing, gasping for breath as he watched Liang He tossing and turning in the room. After a while, seeing that there were still no discoveries, he helplessly sighed and sat down on Red Leaf's bed.

He wasn't sure if it was because he was using too much strength, but there was actually a "dong" sound. When Yan Ling saw Liang He looking over at him, he suddenly felt a bit awkward. He was about to say something when he noticed Liang He looking at him with a serious expression.

Liang He was unable to understand what was going on. He could only feel a chill run down his spine. He slowly walked over, but didn't say a single word.

"What's going on?" Yan Ling asked with a strange look on his face.

Liang He finally realized that he had scared Yan Ling a bit.

"Nothing, just stand up and let me see." Liang He couldn't help but smile when he saw Yan Ling's clearly nervous face, yet he was still forcing himself to remain calm.

"Oh …" Yan Ling stood up obediently. Liang He's reaction made it difficult for her to understand the situation.

After Yan Ling stood up, Liang He didn't say anything. Instead, he leaned close to the bed in Red Leaf's room and knocked on the bed a few times. It was still the same soft "dong dong" sound.

Yan Ling suddenly realized that there seemed to be a tunnel here. Following that, Yan Ling seemed to recall that he had also seen this tunnel in his previous life.

After a flash of inspiration, Yan Ling raised his head again and carefully observed the furnishings inside the room, as well as the location of the room at the Bai Yue Shi's house. After thinking about it, Yan Ling finally confirmed that this tunnel was where he had been to before.

In his previous life, because he wanted to give Liang Yi information about Liang He, and because of his identity, it was not convenient for Yan Ling to directly go find Liang Yi. In addition, the Bai Clan was also part of the Third Prince's faction, so he became the middleman.

However, even when he arrived at the Bai Clan, Yan Ling still dressed up as an ordinary maid and carefully snuck in. As a result, the number of people who knew about this matter was not many. Even Yan Ling was not clear about the identity of the person who had contacted him.

Every time they came, someone would bring Yan Ling into a room. The person in the room was wearing a black hat and it was impossible to see his face. Usually, Yan Ling would write the information down on a piece of paper and hand it over to the person at the destination. Even though there were usually a few words of conversation, the other party intentionally lowered his voice, making it hard for people to tell the difference between man and woman.

However, Yan Ling had taken note of the furnishings in that room. It seemed to be where the woman lived.

The reason why Yan Ling was able to enter the tunnel was because of an accident. When the report was being relayed, there was a sudden knock on the door. In a moment of desperation, the man opened up the tunnel on the bed and told Yan Ling to leave.

Could it be that the person he exchanged information with in his previous life was Red Leaf? Just as this thought appeared in Yan Ling's mind, he was immediately dispelled. This was because his body shape was not the same as Yan Ling's.

Since Yan Ling had left the tunnel, he knew that the final exit of the tunnel was at a residential area. It was ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

The reason why Yan Ling could still remember such a passageway after such a long time was because he was curious. There were many things about this secret passageway that Yan Ling did not understand.

For example, Yan Ling didn't really know that the Bai Clan had secretly built such a secret tunnel. What was it for? As the tunnel was very narrow, only one person could pass through most of the way, so there was no need to transport anything.

However, if it was just to get out of the residence, he didn't need to go through so much trouble. And who exactly was this secret passage, and when was it built, and how many people knew the inside story?

In his previous life, he did not understand this problem. Even now, Yan Ling still could not understand it. This was indeed an uncomfortable matter. Yan Ling could not help but frown.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? " Liang He noticed that Yan Ling seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously with furrowed brows.

"No, nothing …" Yan Ling suddenly realized something. His mind had been wandering for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. Even though their relationship with Liang He had already reached this stage, there were some things that he still felt that they should be kept a secret from him.

"This voice doesn't sound right, could it be …" Yan Ling quickly pretended to be surprised.

No wonder after searching for so long, they still couldn't find the passageway. Feelings of affection were hidden here. As a man, it was naturally impossible for Liang He to turn over the bed that the girl had slept in from the beginning. It was precisely because of this that he had missed the possibility of discovering the truth.

If not for this coincidental discovery by Yan Ling, who knows when Liang He would have found him. He had to admit that this time, Yan Ling was indeed wrong.

"So it's here!" As he spoke, he moved to lift up the bedding on the bed, but Liang He stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ling looked at Liang He with a strange expression. He could not help but start to suspect that he had been mistaken.

Liang He helplessly sighed and dotingly said, "The situation is still unclear. That Hong Ye is also good at using medicine. Why are you standing in front of him? Retreat."

Liang He placed Yan Ling in front of him and planned to do the same thing that Yan Ling had done before. Coincidentally, Yan Ling also stopped Liang He.

With the same considerations, Liang He was afraid that he would fall into the trap. How could he let Liang He take the risk when he knew there might be a problem with his words?

"Don't worry, I'm fine. She doesn't know martial arts so she must have already run away. It won't be difficult for me to play such a small trick." Liang He looked at Yan Ling's worried face and knew what she was thinking. He hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Then be careful …" Although Yan Ling was a bit hesitant, she still chose to believe Liang He.

Yan Ling knew that he wouldn't be able to help much if he stayed here. Moreover, if something were to happen to him and Liang He was worried, that would truly be creating more trouble.

Understanding the cause and effect of this matter, Yan Ling obediently took a few steps back. Indeed, he didn't even blink as he stared at Liang He's direction. In any case, it was impossible not to worry.

Seeing that Yan Ling had retreated, Liang He no longer had any worries. He pulled open the bedding on the bed, revealing a small hidden door.

Liang He's action seemed very casual, but he had also taken care of himself. From the moment he opened the tunnel till the end, nothing strange had happened. Yan Ling also slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

Yan Ling stepped forward to take a look. It was a bit dark inside, so he couldn't tell what was going on. But this room had been searched thoroughly, and there was only one tunnel.

A living person naturally wouldn't just disappear for no reason. From the looks of it, this place was the only exit.

"Ling'er, you stand here and wait. I'll go down and turn on the light to check out the situation." Liang He looked at it as a decision.

Since Yan Ling saw that nothing had happened, he did not refute him. Instead, he obediently nodded his head and worriedly warned, "You must be careful not to touch anything else. You know, red leaves are good at drugs. "

Just as they arrived at the Censor Manor, Yan Ling found time to ask someone. It was just as they had thought before — Red Leaf knew some medical skills, but they weren't too clear on what level they understood.

"I know, don't worry." Liang He nodded, then turned around and descended the tunnel.

He didn't know if this tunnel was specially designed for women, but the entrance was very narrow. If it weren't for Liang He's well-proportioned body, which was considered slender, he really would have been stuck at the entrance of the cave.

"There's nothing in there, right?" For some reason, Yan Ling felt uneasy and asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing, it's just a little dark. There's firestone here, wait for me to light the lamp. " Liang He's voice came out from the passageway. It was a bit muffled, so he could not hear it clearly.

If it was a normal situation, then if Liang He said that everything was fine, Yan Ling would feel his heart settle down. However, this time, Yan Ling did not have such a feeling. He only felt that his heart was in a mess and had a complicated feeling that he could not describe.

Liang He had been carefully observing the passage ever since he had entered. Although he had already confirmed that Hong Ye did not know martial arts, he still had to be careful when sailing on a ten thousand year boat.
