"Maybe what you said is true. Wu Xie simply likes that child..."
"but!"
"I'm suddenly not interested in you anymore. My Professor Hu Da, that kid... is very interesting! I'm suddenly very interested in him!"
The woman's sixth sense told Su Nan that she must have discovered some deeply hidden secret. She licked her dry lips slightly with the tip of her tongue and whispered with meaning.
"...That's great!"
Hu Ming's eyes flickered at the right time, and he spoke casually in a tone that seemed indifferent but mixed with a deeply hidden solemnity.
By chance, the indifferent solemnity was captured by Su Nan, who had been staring closely into Hu Ming's eyes.
Seeing this, Su Nan smiled.
Su Nan smiled confidently!
In the hands of an experienced hunter, no matter how cunning a fox is, it will eventually show its tail, right?
Even Hu Ming, a terrible enemy, still revealed his fatal weakness inadvertently!
That child, Li Cu, is very important!
Perhaps, that child will be an excellent breakthrough!
The smile on Su Nan's face became brighter and brighter.
But she noticed the playfulness deep in the eyes of Hu Ming, who seemed to have an ugly face, and... taunted him!
The bait has been successfully thrown, and what happens next depends on the various methods used on the stage.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Just when the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little strange, Wu Xie walked over with Li Cu who bowed his head.
The smile on Su Nan's face did not diminish, she ignored Wu Xie and looked openly at Li Cu.
"Boy, Wu Xie and Hu Ming are both old foxes who eat people without spitting out their bones. If you follow them, you won't even know when you will be sold."
"Even, maybe you will happily count the money for them!"
"If you encounter any danger in the future... why not come to my place? I mean, I really like young people, I can definitely help you."
When Su Nan was talking to Li Cu, she watched Wu Xie from the corner of her eye and made final confirmation.
"...Miss Su, are you poaching me in front of me? Isn't that a little too much?"
"You are in the mercenary profession, do you really have the heart to drag this child into the quagmire and lead a precarious life?"
Wu Xie saw Hu Ming's cryptic gestures, and his expression remained calm, revealing just the right amount of uneasiness and surprise.
"Then will it be safe to follow you down to the grave and fight upside down?"
"At least, I can provide this child with the life he wants... Of course, the premise is that he must give me the information I want!"
Wu Xie's performance was the final word, and Su Nan had completely made up her mind.
It was almost time to spread this important news back home.
"You? No, I know Hu Ming and Wu Xie must be uneasy and well-meaning towards me, but it seems that I am very important to them and they will not put me in any danger easily."
"As for...I don't know you, I'm not familiar with you. To me, you are more dangerous than them!"
After Wu Xie's comfort and heart-to-heart talk, Li Cu's mood visibly stabilized. He raised his head and looked at Su Nan suspiciously with red eyes.
Li Cu, well done!
Hu Ming and Wu Xie secretly praised Li Cu's words!
This is so wonderful to say!
Didn't you see that the last bit of doubt deep in Su Nan's eyes had disappeared?
"I like you more and more, Li Cu. Believe me, there will be a long time to come. We will definitely get along happily!"
Wu Xie hugged Li Cu's shoulders sincerely and sighed.
...
...
"How's it going, Eleven, how's the road trip going?"
After the eleventh meeting with Boss Ma, Su Nan was obviously in a good mood.
"We walked forward a few corridors and found that this place seemed to be exactly the same as the place we stayed before."
Eleven didn't understand the twists and turns between Hu Ming and the others, and didn't notice anything at all. He just thought it was the woman's unpredictable mood.
After all, she is also a woman, and she does feel inexplicably happy sometimes.
"Exactly the same? Hu Ming, are we going the wrong way?"
"We're not going back the way we came, are we? Even a professional like you will make a mistake one day?"
Su Nan made a beautiful move and looked at Hu Ming provocatively.
"...Then this little girl with dreadlocks must not have noticed that the spatial structure and layout here, and even the mechanisms, are all mirror symmetrical to the places she passed before!"
Hu Ming gently brushed against the stone wall and said softly.
Su Nan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Suppose the place we went to before was the East Palace, then the place we are staying now is the West Palace. The structures of the two are relatively the same!"
Wu Xie then explained.
"In other words, this is actually a Jing'er Palace...Have you heard of Jing'er Palace? It's very popular in Guangxi Province."
"To put it simply, the above-ground structure and the underground structure are completely mirror-reversed!"
Speaking of Jing'er Palace, Hu Mingyou inevitably thought of a certain fourth grandfather who died at his hands, and his daughter who was sleeping in the Kingdom of the Western Queen.
And Wu Xie thought of Wu Sansheng...
"Of course, I can tell from the composition of the rock formations here that our current location is at the same level as before..."
"I know that we walked a long downward passage before... It is a special structure that uses psychological suggestion and other means to make us mistakenly think that we are going downwards again."
"Essentially, that section of the passage is actually just surrounding it on the horizontal plane."
Finally, Hu Ming continued to add.
"Professor Hu, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. I just want to know now, how can we find the mirror palace you mentioned?"
Boss Ma said that these were not his expertise at all, and he was confused when he heard them. He just wanted to go deep into the underground palace and find what he wanted, that's all.
"What he means is that as long as we find the connection point between the two mirror palaces, we can easily enter them..."
Su Nan understood it and explained casually.
"Bingo~ Correct answer, and... we have reached this connection point!"
Hu Ming snapped his fingers, came to the stone wall on the left, clenched his fist with his right hand, and punched the stone wall surrounded by dense tree roots!
Click, click, click...
The thousand-year-old mechanism began to operate in an instant.
The roots of the tree were torn off inch by inch, and the stone wall behind it cracked open a passage for two people to walk side by side!
