As everyone searched, a rumbling sound came from inside the room.
The crowd looked back in surprise.
As a result, the secret chamber door closed directly, leaving no gap.
Because this place had not been entered for a long time.
When the door closed, dust instantly fell, and the bookshelf beside it shook.
They had searched for a long time and clearly could not find an exit. If they were trapped here again, the subsequent matters would be difficult to handle.
Gu Qianying immediately stepped forward and pushed the stone door with her palm.
But the door was as solid as gold. Even though Gu Qianying exerted her energy, she could only move it slightly.
After Gu Qianying retreated.
The stone door closed again, standing majestically before everyone.
Duan Xifeng leaned against the stone door, his expression very annoyed. "What kind of broken place is this? It's incredibly strange, and we're trapped here! Are we going crazy!"
Gu Qianying sighed beside him, her brows furrowed tightly, feeling extremely vexed.
Fortunately, Meng Qinghua on the side made a suggestion.
"This place shouldn't be like this. Perhaps there will be answers in these books. Let's not be discouraged, search them properly, and maybe something unexpected will happen!"
Gu Qianying's sharp eyes narrowed, and she crossed her arms. "This is the only way now!"
Soon, everyone reached a consensus, stood before the bookshelves, and began to study the origins of these books.
The books had been placed for a long time, covered in a layer of dust, but the text above had not faded and was still clearly visible.
"These seem like cultivation techniques, and quite orthodox ones? I don't understand how practicing these calligraphy techniques could lead to those ghostly things outside!"
Du Chun threw the book onto the ground.
The contents inside were merely the five elements, mostly ordinary books, with nothing unusual.
In short, there was no answer to be found here.
Gu Qianying picked up the item and patted it. "Don't worry, there are still so many books here. We'll find them eventually. Let's hurry up and search!"
Du Chun withdrew his gaze and sighed beside Gu Qianying. "So many books! How long will it take to find them?"
Bai Yulan suddenly raised her hand, exclaiming with surprise.
"I found something useful! Come and see."
She beckoned to everyone.
This was the only solution that had appeared so far.
Everyone quickly put down what they were holding and hurried towards Bai Yulan.
As a result, they saw her holding a book on mechanisms, looking very excited and animated.
"With this, we can study the mechanism of this stone door, and we'll be able to get out soon!"
Facing her enthusiasm, the crowd responded with indifference.
They were speechless for a moment, and the birds scattered.
This mechanism was not created in a moment. Although three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, how long would it take to study a broken book?
Gu Qianying and the others quickly reached a consensus and simply turned away.
Bai Yulan truly believed that she had found a solution.
She was overjoyed, but the expressions of the crowd poured cold water on her.
She lowered her head for a moment.
She tightly grasped the book on mechanisms. "I just wanted to find a solution, I didn't expect it to be useless!"
Just then, a scoff came from the side.
Tears welled up in Nangong Li's eyes. He had never met such a foolish person in his life.
"I said, you're usually clueless, and that's that. We don't bother to argue with you. We're all trapped here, and you're still wasting time here. Are you ashamed?"
Bai Yulan's face turned red with anger.
She might have felt useless to others.
But facing Nangong Li, she had no thoughts, only added resentment.
Ever since she met this person.
Bai Yulan's sky had no longer been clear, only dark clouds and rumbling thunder remained.
She threw the item away and flung it directly at Nangong Li.
"You're good at talking big! I see you leisurely here, doing nothing, and you still have the nerve to mock me!"
Nangong Li raised his eyebrows slightly, his entire demeanor righteous.
"I am a prince of Dong Sheng Kingdom. What does this trivial matter have to do with me?"
Du Chun's gaze swept over. Hearing this person's arrogant boasts, he immediately cursed.
"What do you mean, you brat! Are you looking down on us openly and secretly!"
"Hurry up and come find books!"
Several books as heavy as bricks were quickly picked up by Du Chun and then hit Nangong Li on the head.
This blow made Nangong Li dizzy and disoriented.
He patted his head and immediately jumped up and cursed, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm doing important business here?"
Du Chun's voice rose leisurely, particularly sarcastic. "Bullying a young girl, and you call this important business? Do you still have any face?"
With Du Chun's support, Bai Yulan's expression finally improved, and her voice became crisp.
"Exactly! Everyone is trapped here now. Whether you're a prince or not, hurry up and do something!"
Nangong Li's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched stiffly.
"You little brat, you dare to order me around. You have great courage."
Bai Yulan suddenly smiled, her eyes appearing particularly beautiful.
"Ridiculous, I also have the bloodline of the Sheng Yu family. Do you know that my ancestors were immortals? And you, a mere sixth prince of Dong Sheng Kingdom!"
Her expression suddenly changed to one of arrogance.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Talking to someone like you makes me feel cheap."
"Say that again!"
Nangong Li jumped up again, pointing at Bai Yulan and shouting.
Bai Yulan placed her hands on her cheeks and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"I said it! I said it, what can you do to me?"
The two argued incessantly, and it looked like they were about to fight.
Gu Qianying simply threw a broken book, which cut through the air and landed between the two of them. With a white light, a barrier quickly rose.
Gu Qianying's cold voice came, "You two, stay away from me. If anyone dares to make noise again, I will not let them off easily!"
The two retracted their expressions, glaring at each other, neither willing to back down.
Bai Yulan raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong? Scared?"
Nangong Li snorted. "Ridiculous, you little brat, you dare to provoke the Tai Sui. I will tear you apart today."
As their words fell, their eyes showed ferocity again.
They both rolled up their sleeves and attempted to move forward.
Gu Qianying sighed, and her speed shattered the barrier, directly blocking their actions.
Little Yi Hao lay in front of Bai Yu Feng. Seeing the two bickering, his eyes were full of disdain.
He blinked. "Daddy, why are these two like three-year-olds? So childish."
Bai Yu Feng casually glanced to the right and said calmly, "It's fine. Don't learn from them. Don't be like this."
He shook his head and continued reading.
Little Yi Hao was very well-behaved, still sitting in front of Bai Yu Feng.
