The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1000 Courage
Guan Men Niang opened her eyes and found herself in the maid's room, she wasn't surprised because actually, she didn't faint she just used the medicine Wu San Bo gave her to slow her heart rate, thankfully Wu San Bo had put a lot of medicine in her spatial ring he even spends a whole day to teach her regarding all the items in her ring, Guan Men Niang was grateful by Wu San Bo meticulous preparation otherwise, their plans will fall apart due to Chung Tao's unplanned appearance.
Guan Men Niang took a deep breath, then peeked through the gap of the window and caught a maid was heading towards her room, Guan Men Niang hurriedly run and jumped onto her bed and pretended to sleep while at the same time the door opened and the young maid entered the room she then darts her gaze at the bed where Guan men Niang was sleeping.
She walked to the bed and then snort coldly when she saw Guan Men Niang still sleeping, the maid trace her eyes to Guan men Niang's face and body and then scoffed "She's so pretty no wonder she can seduce Master Wei, then again she is just another Master whor *" her lips curl into a crook smile.
Unbeknown to the maid Guan Men Niang summons a small bottle from her ring then she quietly pushes the lid with her thumb, hence the maid turns around thinking Guan Men Niang is still unconscious she didn't realize Guan Men Niang pours the liquid from the bottle to her hand once the maid loses her guards down Guan men Niang suddenly jumps behind the maid and then swiftly cover the maid mouth and nose with her palm that been stained with the substance from the bottle.
The maid gasped and struggle for a few seconds before she lost her consciousness and then fell to the floor, however, the door suddenly slams open. Guan men Niang felt her heart jump from her chest but luckily the people that enter the room were Fang Yu and Fang Xia.
"Miss Guan!" they shock but then relief seeing it was another person that fell on the ground.
Guan men Niang breathe in relief "Thank God you manage to sneak in" Guan Men Niang has calculated that Fang Yu and Fang Xia could move easily without her dragging them down that's why she was confident they will manage to find her.
"Are you all right, Miss Guan?" Fang Xia approached him in a hurry.
"I'm fine, help me to change this maid's clothes with me! said Guan Men Niang.
Hearing this, Fang Yu's face turned red and he hurriedly said "I..I'll be on guard outside." He promptly left without waiting for an answer.
Guan men Niang didn't have time to notice Fang Yu's funny reaction while Fang Xia had no interest in teasing her brother at the moment. They quickly changed the maid's clothes with Guan Men Niang's clothes and then put the unconscious maid on the bed to imitate Guan Men Niang meanwhile Guan Men Niang had changed her clothes with the maid she also styling her hair into a bun just like the maid but when Fang Xia saw Guan Men Niang face her brows gradually furrowed, then she took out a small jar from her belt.
"Please allow me Miss Guan" Fang Xia smeared Guan Men Niang's face with thick cream to make her skin darker in order to minimize Guan Men Niang's beauty.
After she was done Fang Xia look at Guan men Niang's face and sigh "It's not perfect, but this will do"
"Thank you miss Fang" Guan Men Niang sincerely thanked her.
"Just call me Fang Xia" she smiled kindly then her face turned serious again "let's hurry up!"
"Yes!" Guan Men Niang nodded.
Soon, the three of them left the maid quarter as Guan Men Niang disguised himself as a servant so she could walk around without the need to hide while Fang Yu and Fang Xia jumped between the beams while followed Guan Men Niang until they arrived at the main place where Duan Shu Shu's reside.
Guan Men Niang passed the maids several times, but he didn't know where to start looking for the core array, Duan Shu's residence was too big and she couldn't spend time checking the whole place one by one nor could she ask anyone without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Fear slowly creeping into her heart Guan Men Niang started to feel scared that she would be too late to help Wu San Bo.
Guan's man, Niang, looked around, feeling stressed and lost as time passed she became more and more anxious, soon an awful image played in her mind what if Wu San Bo was hurt or worst…killed.
'What should I do...' he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, but suddenly out of nowhere, a firefly appeared before her.
Guan Men Niang was paused, The first thought that came to her mind was when fireflies appeared during the day, but then another question arose, how can a firefly still glow during the day, is she dreaming because she is too stressed?f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
The firefly started flying around her as if trying to communicate with her then the firefly landed on the tip of her nose and then Guan Men Niang faintly heard a voice
'Follow me'
Guan Men Niang's eyes widened and the firefly flew away, somehow Guan Men Niang's legs moved automatically to chase the fireflies.
Fang Yu and Fang Xia who were following Guan Men Niang from afar exchanged confused looks. They didn't know why Guan Men Niang suddenly ran hastily, could it be that she knew where the core array was but how could that be? a few seconds ago she looked so stressed and desperate that it made them worry too.
Meanwhile, Guan Men Niang kept running through the halls, sometimes she had to hold her pace as she passed the guards and maids but strangely the firefly seemed to understand that every time Guan Men Niang had to slow down, the firefly will fly in a circle as if it's deliberately waiting for her.
Guan Men Niang didn't know why she was so sure the firefly had come to help her but there was a strange urge to believe nevertheless the faster she walked the less doubt in her heart, Guan Men Niang kept running and running until she finally arrived in front of a stupa.
The stupa was made of gray stone and not very big but she felt a strange vibe within the stupa before long Fang Yu and Fang Xia appeared beside Guan Men Niang.
"Is this the place, Miss Guan?" Fang Xia asked.
"I… don't know, I guess…" Guan Men Niang was also surprised because she had never heard of a stupa within the Heaven's Gate Sect.
"I think this is the right place, I feel a strong energy from it," Fang Yu straightened his back as he felt a strong force coming from the stupa, he then turned his head towards Guan Men Niang "How did you know this place, Miss Guan?"
"Eh… I was just following a firefly, didn't you see that?" she pointed her finger at the fireflies that were flying inside the stupa.
However, Fang Yu and Fang Xia's expressions were blank, Fang Xia then asked Guan Men Niang with a puzzled look, "What firefly?" the only thing she saw was Guan Men Niang beside since when did fireflies appear in broad daylight?
"Eh, you didn't see it?" Guan Men Niang was surprised but then he thought maybe they were just not paying attention to the little firefly because they might be more alert to the presence of the guards and Heaven's Gate Sect members passing by therefore Guan men Niang didn't think too much about it.
"There is an array of defense around the stupa, it won't be easy to penetrate the array." Fang Yu looked at the stupa and deep wrinkles formed on his brows.
"Then what should we do?" Fang Xia anxiously asked.
Fang Yu examined the energy around the array carefully then he look at them with trouble fave "We can only destroy this array by force"
"Does that mean..." Fang Xia took a cold breath.
"Yes, we will need explosives… a lot of it" Fang Yu's expression stiffened.
"I brought some explosives but I don't think it will be enough" Fang Xia lowered her head regretfully for not preparing herself better.
Guan Men Niang saw Fang Yu and Fang Xia's troubled faces, then she slowly raised her hands and the spatial ring on her finger "I think I can help with that..."
