Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Study Room

So Bai Sasa didn’t sleep either, taking up the watch for everyone.

Time passed bit by bit.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli woke up exactly shichen after shichen as if they had electronic alarms installed in their brains.

This could be considered an ability honed by The Apocalypse, their strict control over time.

Bai Sasa observed the tacit understanding between the two in their shared sleep and wakes, feeling waves of emotions inside.

At this moment in Bai Sasa’s heart, thoughts of the Ninth Prince had long been thrown beyond the highest clouds, only Junjun and Brother Wenli were truly suited for each other!

Looking at them moving in sync and trusting, supporting each other, aren’t they the epitome of immortal couples, soulmates, the perfect partners!

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were unaware of the fervor in Bai Sasa’s heart, waking up and immediately looking towards each other.

"We should look for the hidden room," one said.

"The study might have a secret passage," the other added.

Both paused after speaking, quickly nodding to express, "What you mean is what I mean."

The two wanted to wake Bai Lingyu and Xiao Shan, but the children were deep in sleep.

The pair found themselves at a slight dilemma, Bai Sasa immediately raised her hand, "How about I carry them?"

"?" Li Wenli and Bai Junjun looked puzzled.

Bai Sasa immediately fetched the bucket she had prepared earlier.

Upon seeing this bucket, Bai Junjun was startled too.

Unsure of what it was meant to contain, it looked like a basket with even straps attached, though made of metal with quite a spacious interior.

Bai Sasa, like lifting chicks, placed the two children into the basket and easily hoisted the metal container onto her back.

The metal bucket and the two children together weighed nearly a hundred pounds, yet Bai Sasa carried them with ease as if walking on flat ground.

Although emotionally concerned for Bai Sasa, rationally Bai Junjun understood that this was the only way for now.

This city was deeply mysterious; no one knew what could happen.

It was best to take what was needed and leave as soon as possible.

Bai Junjun patted Bai Sasa’s head, "If you’re tired, tell your sister."

Bai Junjun rarely claimed the role of elder sister, and upon hearing this term, Bai Sasa’s eyes immediately reddened with deep emotion.

Her big sister really treated her well!

Bai Junjun rubbed her head and without saying more, marched forward.

Li Wenli witnessed the sisters’ interaction, smiled, and proceeded forward as well.

...

Ancient studies were either located next to bedrooms or set in a separate courtyard.

Wherever they were, such rooms were always the most secured, heavily guarded like fortresses in any estate.

The two screened for places matching descriptions and ultimately set their target on a separate small loft in the courtyard.

This small loft was surrounded by water, the sole bridge leading to it had already collapsed.

Moreover, this was the only area where the lights were out.

It stood isolated from the world, lonely and mysterious.

But curiously, despite enduring a thousand years of vicissitudes, the pond still held water.

Li Wenli glanced at it lightly, "It’s the same as well water."

This indicated that the pond’s water was channeled from the well’s bottom, suggesting perhaps a massive underground river existed beneath the city.

Not knowing the depth of the water, Bai Junjun cast out vines to wrap around the opposite eaves, swung across lightly, and then pulled Bai Sasa and Li Wenli over.

However, it was only upon reaching the loft that the group was startled to find that this stone house had neither doors nor windows.

The City Lord naturally wouldn’t intentionally put up such a large fake scenic spot here; it must be a real house with a purpose.
