Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 198 Red Smoke in the Pond

There were already secret guards sent by Ye Zihu in advance near Luping County. They said that Bai Sui'an could move freely after arriving there, and if any conflict occurred, someone would help her resolve it.

Baili Mo said that the thing he sent could help Bai Sui'an find his life lamp, but he was not sure whether the life lamp was with Ni Ya, so Bai Sui'an wanted to open the wooden box.

Unexpectedly, there was a extinguished lamp inside.

The light of the flame could not be seen, but Bai Sui'an could feel the faint heat from it when he stretched out his hand.

It's actually burning, right?

I don't know how this thing found the life lamp.

Bai Sui'an picked up the lampstand, and the moment his hand touched it.

The lampstand disappeared.

Weng Lai had been watching from the side. He was shocked: "How could it disappear?"

He blinked several times. He clearly saw the box that Bai Sui'an opened and the things inside. How could it suddenly disappear?

"What's missing? It's empty in here." Bai Sui'an said lightly.

She was also a little surprised when the lampstand first disappeared, but she soon found that the lampstand was automatically put into her space, so it disappeared.

Her space couldn't be discovered by anyone, so she pretended to be stupid and made Weng Lai think that he had seen it wrong.

Seeing Bai Sui'an so confident, Weng Lai stretched his neck to take another look inside the wooden box and asked doubtfully, "That's not right? When you opened it just now, I did see something inside, a black lampstand."

"This is the box Baili gave me to put things in. How come there is something in it?"

Bai Sui'an closed the wooden box and put it into his bag. "Let's go. Let's continue on our journey."

After saying this, he continued walking with his horse's belly between his legs, without giving Weng Lai any chance to continue speaking.

Since she said so, Weng Lai didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only continue to follow her.

The space is connected to Bai Sui'an, and she can feel all the objects in the space, including the lampstand she just entered.

She rode very fast and was always ahead of Weng Lai. She thought about taking the lamp out of the space, but no matter how hard she tried, she found that she couldn't take it out.

She can still move other things in the space at will.

This is very strange.

If the lampstand cannot be taken out of the space, how can we find the life lamp?

The method that Ye Zihu said to find the life lamp should not require the use of her space, right?

Bai Sui'an couldn't find a way along the way and had to dismount to rest twice. Luping County was getting closer and closer to them.

In the evening, Bai Sui'an arrived in Luping County.

She pretended to be a young lady going out for fun, and Weng Lai was her bodyguard.

The two found an inn and asked for two rooms.

The food was delivered to Bai Sui'an's room. While the two were eating, Weng Lai introduced to Bai Sui'an where Ni Ya lived in Luping County.

And where do those people related to Ni Ya in Luping County live and how many people are there.

There are only about thirty people in total.

"Go out for a walk after dinner and draw a picture for me later. I'll go in the evening."

After Bai Sui'an finished speaking, he buried his head in his food and Weng Lai nodded.

Originally, Weng Lai wanted to act with Bai Sui'an, but Bai Sui'an said that he could not keep up with his skills, so Weng Lai asked Bai Sui'an to have a good rest in the inn while he was out.

The most important thing is to come back safely at night.

Bai Sui'an was not someone who had difficulty falling asleep. After dinner, she could sit on the edge of the bed and meditate and take a light nap.

After riding a horse for a whole day, I am still a little tired.

Bai Sui'an had just left home and hadn't heard the children's chattering for a day, nor had Ye Lingche murmured to him. He felt a little uncomfortable.

After resting for a while, Bai Sui'an opened his eyes and walked to the window.

It was still early in the night, the moon was high in the sky, and there were still many people walking on the streets.

Thinking about how far Lijia Village was from the town, she had never visited the night market with her family in such a long time.

However, the night market in the imperial city should be more lively, so you can go there after everything is over.

Thinking of this, Bai Sui'an looked forward to the moment of reuniting with his family even more.

Just as people's encounters are destined, people's wishes will be realized sooner or later as their degree increases.

Weng Lai came back with a scribbled map.

The painting was very simple. After Bai Sui'an asked for the directions and the landmarks on the road, he changed into night clothes, covered his face, and climbed out the window to go out late at night.

She walked lightly, constantly on the rooftops and jumping between houses, without anyone noticing her.

There were no candlelight in many houses, either because they had finished work or gone to sleep, so the candlelight in the house where Ni Ya lived was very conspicuous.

Bai Sui'an followed the candlelight and searched for Ni Ya. Before she reached the house where Ni Ya was, her chest suddenly felt hot.

This was the first time Bai Sui'an had encountered such a situation. It wasn't a feeling of being sick or injured, but rather an unknown external force that suddenly affected her.

Feeling very bored.

Bai Sui'an was forced to settle in an alley to check his physical condition.

I unexpectedly discovered that the lamp in the space suddenly caught fire, which shouldn't have happened.

Most of the things in the space were arranged according to Bai Sui'an's wishes. Even the daily necessities she put into the space later were not as rebellious as this lampstand.

Bai Sui'an was sweating on his head and told me it was because of the heat.

She leaned against the wall and hunched her body. An invisible force expanded from the inside out, until Bai Sui'an felt hot all over for a long time before it gradually dissipated.

This is a waste of a cup of tea.

The lampstand was still in the space and could not be taken out. Bai Sui'an did not want to spend time checking it. Now that there was nothing wrong with his body, he decided to continue with his plan.

She looked up in the direction where Ni Ya was, and actually saw a wisp of thin red smoke in the dim sky.

As if confirming it twice, Bai Sui'an finally realized that he was not seeing things.

And the direction of the smoke was the same as where Ni Ya was.

Curiosity drove Bai Sui'an to quicken his pace.

From the outside, the place where Ni Ya lived looked no different from an ordinary family. Bai Sui'an walked around outside quietly. Based on the breathing and footsteps inside, he could tell that there were quite a few people guarding it.

The smoke was indeed coming from Ni Ya's residence. I don't know if he had intentionally ordered people not to get close, or if no one noticed the smoke.

When Bai Sui'an found the wall closest to the smoke, he could clearly notice that there were fewer guards inside, but the shift change was more frequent than in other places.

She had been guarding outside for a long time. It was easy to get tired at night, and the patrolman yawned soon after, so Bai Sui'an easily climbed in.

Not knowing which house Ni Yali lived in, Bai Sui'an planned to look for her in the direction of the red smoke.

The source of the red smoke was found to be coming from a pond.

No one came in to patrol the pond anymore, so Bai Sui'an could calm down and check the situation around him.

There was only a wisp of smoke, not like smoke caused by the water in the pond being affected, but more like a signal from something passing through the pond.

The smoke could float up to the sky, and no one else reacted, as if Bai Sui'an was the only one who could see the smoke.

The pond is not deep. If you stand in it, it is probably only as high as Bai Suian's legs. There are still fish swimming in it.

The place didn't look like a place where anything was hidden, so Bai Sui'an guessed that there was a mechanism that could open a secret passage down.

She went to find the mechanism that could open the secret passage.

Being experienced in many situations, she quickly ruled out all possible places for mechanisms. Finally, she found a hook in the hole of the rockery. She pulled out a line as long as her forearm. With a "click", another nearby rockery turned.

A hole in the ground that was wide enough for one person to pass through was revealed.
