She turned her wrist and the axe fell down suddenly, hitting a round piece of wood in front of her.

With a crisp "crack", the tree cracked and the broken end was as smooth as a mirror.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Meng Wan ignored everyone's reactions. She raised the axe again and chopped the wood again and again. Her movements became faster and more powerful, as if she was tireless.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull thumping sound echoed in the backyard, striking everyone's heart again and again, making people feel creepy.

The older servant snorted coldly, and after forcing himself to say a few polite words, he led everyone away.

The crisp sound of the axe breaking through wood echoed in the yard for a long time, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sawdust.

Meng Wan put away the axe and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, adapting well to her new identity.

On the other hand, Li Yuanyuan's face became paler and paler, and she looked uneasy.

"Senior Sister Meng, we are all about to be driven out of the upper realm, how come you...how come you are still so calm?"

Li Yuanyuan paused, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

"There's such a big mess in the Weapon Pavilion. Several of the young lady's beloved weapons have been damaged. Once the results of the investigation come out, I'm afraid we will be thrown into the cave and never be able to turn over!"

Seeing Li Yuanyuan so uneasy, Meng Wan comforted her, "Senior Sister Li, you worry too much."

Meng Wan spoke calmly, as if she didn't take the matter to heart.

“We are Sequences, even if there is trouble in the Weapon Pavilion, we will not be punished to be sent to the Cave Heaven.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us, so just wait patiently."

Li Yuanyuan didn't feel relieved after hearing this.

What sequence? That’s just the people from the Cang Lan world flattering themselves.

They are slaves!

So many weapons were lost in the weapons pavilion. Miss Six will definitely find someone to take the blame this time.

She stepped aside silently, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

That night, after finishing a day's work, Li Yuanyuan tightly grasped the jade slip in her sleeve and hurried towards Consul Tang's residence.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and went forward to knock on the door.

"Consul Tang, my disciple Li Yuanyuan wants to see you for something."

After a moment, the gate creaked open and the plump figure of Consul Tang appeared at the door.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yuanyuan told the whole story in detail, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

"After much thought, I think that only the Consul can help me with this matter."

After listening to this, Consul Tang frowned.

After she paused for a moment, she slowly said, "This matter is of great importance and is beyond my control. You should just wait for the Sixth Miss's decision."

"But……"

Li Yuanyuan wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Consul Tang.

"I have something important to deal with, please leave."

Li Yuanyuan's heart sank. Consul Tang's attitude made her realize that it was impossible to expect him to help.

She asked unwillingly, "Then...will I be implicated in this matter? Will I be thrown back into the cave?"

If she had never opened her eyes and seen the real world, she would not have to be afraid of the darkness.

Consul Tang's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely, "This matter has not yet been determined, and everything is possible."

Li Yuanyuan's heart sank completely, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She staggered out of the yard and felt darkness before her eyes.

In despair, she suddenly thought of Zhou Tong.

I heard that Zhou Tong is now doing very well in the Fifth Young Master's guard team.

Maybe he could help himself.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanyuan immediately cheered up and walked towards Zhou Tong's residence.

When Zhou Tong saw Li Yuanyuan, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Junior Sister Li, why are you here?"

Li Yuanyuan told Zhou Tong about her predicament with a hint of tears in her tone.

"Brother, we are all from the Xuanyin Sect, you have to help me. As long as you help me this time, I will never frown if you need my help in the future!"

After listening to this, Zhou Tong also felt that Li Yuanyuan was really in trouble this time.

"This matter is difficult, and I can't guarantee that I can help. However, I can help you talk to the Fifth Young Master."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanyuan grabbed Zhou Tong's hand tightly and said, "Brother, please help me!"

Zhou Tong patted Li Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

On the second day, Zhou Tong found an opportunity and told the Fifth Young Master everything about Li Yuanyuan.

After listening to this, the Fifth Young Master touched his chin.

"I have some impression of this Li Yuanyuan. Since you said she is a capable person, it would be a pity to send her away like this."

Zhou Tong immediately understood what the Fifth Young Master meant, "The Fifth Young Master is wise."

The fifth young master scolded Zhou Tong with a smile, then called his trusted guard A Da and gave him instructions.

"Go to Sixth Sister's courtyard and tell her that I have taken a fancy to a maid in her courtyard, and give her this box."

Ah Da took the order and left. Soon he arrived at the courtyard of the Sixth Miss Wu Chujun and presented the Fifth Young Master's words and the brocade box.

Wu Chujun opened the brocade box, smelled the fragrance of the elixir, and chuckled.

"Fifth brother is very generous."

Wu Chujun played with the pill in his hand, "Which maid did he take a fancy to?"

Ah Da replied respectfully, "Miss Six, it's Li Yuanyuan."

"Li Yuanyuan?"

Wu Chujun sneered and immediately realized that Li Yuanyuan was afraid of being punished and was looking for a way out for herself.

"That ungrateful slave, if Fifth Brother likes it, just take it. Don't be polite to me."

After sending Ah Da away, Wu Chujun suddenly asked, "What is Meng Wan doing recently?"

Lingjiu winked at a maid, who immediately stepped forward and answered respectfully.

"Replying to Sixth Miss, Meng Wan is still chopping wood in the Spirit Beast Garden and seems to know nothing about Li Yuanyuan's affairs."

Wu Chujun was a little surprised: "She is quite patient! Go, call Meng Wan over to me."

The maid took the order and left, and soon brought Meng Wan back to the courtyard.

After Meng Wan entered the room, she politely bowed to Wu Chujun and said, "I am Meng Wan, your servant, meeting the Sixth Miss."

Wu Chujun glanced at Meng Wan with an ambiguous tone.

"I heard that you are good friends with Li Yuanyuan?"

Meng Wan's heart trembled, but she remained expressionless.

"Replying to Sixth Miss, Li Yuanyuan and I are both from the Canglan Realm, and we work in the same place, so it is inevitable that we have some interactions on a daily basis."

Wu Chujun sneered, "Really? Did you know that Li Yuanyuan has now switched to being Fifth Brother's disciple?"

Meng Wan raised her head in surprise, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "Changed to the Fifth Young Master's sect? This... This servant doesn't know!"

She paused, a hint of indignation in her tone.

"Li Yuanyuan is really going too far! Miss Six took such good care of her, yet she actually did something so treacherous!"

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Chujun with a sincere tone.

"Sixth Miss, is there some misunderstanding? As far as I know, Li Yuanyuan is not that kind of person!"
