Di Ling obviously saw him too, no, to be precise, she came here specially to find Xia Nuo.
Xia Nuo watched her whisper a few words to a waiter, and not long after, the waiter came over, holding a tray in his hand with a goblet filled with clarified wine.
The waiter put the wine glass on the long table in front of Xia Nuo, bowed slightly, and said, “The lady just asked me to bring it to you.”
Xia Nuo looked in Di Ling’s direction for no reason, not understanding why she gave him wine, but Di Ling also looked over, their eyes met, Di Ling smiled at him, turned and left.
He always thought this person was kind of weird.
Xia Nuo thought so, and made up his mind not to touch this glass of wine.
However, a strange thing happened. He was sure that he hadn’t touched the wine glass, but Di Ling’s voice sounded in his ears.
“If you want to know the whereabouts of the necklace, go to the first room on the left at the end of the corridor on the second floor alone.”
Ah?
Xia Nuo froze for a moment before realising that it should be a sound transmission prop, and it was directional, only he could hear it.
“What’s wrong?” The mermaid noticed his abnormality, and looked at the wine glass on the long table.
Xia Nuo hesitated for less than a second before speaking out, and added his own opinion at the end: “I think this matter is a bit wrong.”
“Um?”
“She doesn’t seem to be such a kind person.” Xia Nuo recalled, “The last time I met her, she obviously didn’t have much kindness towards me, and even hated me.”
Xia Nuo could still feel it.
“Also, it’s also very suspicious to emphasise that I should go alone.”
Don’t you know how many dramas, the protagonist who went to the appointment alone fell into the trap set by the enemy long ago!
Knowing that there is a problem but still jumping into the trap, Xia Nuo can’t restrain his desire to complain every time he sees such a plot. Now that he also encountered such a routine, he naturally chose to tell the mermaid, and the two discussed countermeasures together.
After all, no matter by the standards of humans or monsters, the strength of mermaids is beyond doubt.
Moreover, Xia Nuo didn’t know why, but there was always a cognition that no matter what kind of difficulties they faced, mermaids could easily solve them. In other words, before Xia Nuo realised it, he had already developed great trust in the mermaid in his heart.
Probably because the mermaid always behaves omniscient, facing everything with ease, right? Xia Nuo thought so.
“So what are you going to do?” The mermaid looked at the young man in front of her with a smile, her tone was quite casual, and it could be seen that he really didn’t take this matter to heart.
“Hmm.” Xia Nuo pondered for a moment, and he thought for a moment, “I still want to see what she’s up to.”
“If she really knows where the necklace is best, we can go straight to the necklace.”
Then he doesn’t need to attend the next banquet, and he doesn’t need to wear women’s clothes for three days anymore!
Having said that, he couldn’t help but glance at the man. So far, he still doesn’t understand the man’s mind.
If he didn’t want to find the necklace, then there was no need for the man to bring him to the banquet, and he had made so many preparations for it.
If it was said that he wanted to find the necklace, judging by his appearance, it seemed more like he didn’t take this matter to heart, and there was no sign of anxiety or nervousness at all.
“If she doesn’t know the whereabouts of the necklace, then her motives are very suspicious.” Xia Nuo rested his chin on one hand, pretending to be thinking seriously, “Is she trying to deal with me, or is she trying to use me to do something to achieve her goal?”
“If I don’t go there, she will definitely not let it go. Instead of being plotted by her secretly, it’s better to see what she wants to do.”
“But then again, the problem arises.” Xia Nuo’s eyes showed a bit of distress, he looked at the man unconsciously, with a look of pleading for help that he might not have noticed, “How can I meet her ‘alone’?”
He was inexplicably sure that a man must have a way to meet this condition.
Since the young man has made a request, it’s okay for the little pet to go out and play with peace of mind, but the premise is that the little pet must stay within his sight all the time.
“It’s very simple.” Naturally, the man will not disappoint the boy’s expectations, “As long as…”
‘Da, da, da.’ That was the crisp sound of high heels hitting the marble floor.
A teenager in a long pink dress was walking in the corridor. His walking posture was a bit awkward, but he seemed to have an inexplicably elegant rhythm.
The boy held a folding fan made of ivory in his hand, and he was using it to tap his palm lightly at this moment. Looking at his leisurely expression, those who don’t know will definitely not know that he is about to invite an invitation with malicious intentions.
But the strange thing is, the young man’s eyes kept falling on his own chest intentionally or unintentionally. But if you look carefully, there are only large roses for decoration, and there is nothing else.
This inevitably raises a doubt: what is he looking at?
He doesn’t know what method Di Ling used. Xia Nuo didn’t see any other guests along the way.
He followed the address Di Ling told him to the end of the corridor, stood in front of a room with the house number 1558, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened in response to the sound. Although he tried his best to conceal it, he could still see that a somewhat anxious Di Ling appeared in front of Xia Nuo. Looking at her expression, it was not difficult to imagine that she had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing the figure of the young man, Di Ling subconsciously looked behind him and found no figure of the mermaid. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, and her voice inevitably leaked a bit of pride: “You really came.”
“Where’s the whereabouts of the necklace?” Xia Nuo didn’t have the heart to go around with her, and asked directly.
Di Ling looked at him complicatedly, from the expensive dress to the equally expensive jewellery and folding fan, and it was no surprise that he came to the conclusion that the boy was very favoured.
But so what, didn’t he obediently step into her trap?
Di Ling couldn’t help laughing.
As early as the last time they met, she had investigated Xia Nuo.
The space of the small town was closed, and the news spread extremely fast. Xia Nuo’s entry into Miss Mermaid’s mansion that day was witnessed by many people and soon became a well-known event.
Together with Miss Mermaid’s announcement about finding the necklace, Di Ling easily got the desired information.
However, she came to a wrong conclusion—she thought that this task was an opportunity for the boy to meet the mermaid (although it was true in a certain sense), the boy captured Miss Mermaid’s heart in just a few days (this is a bit exaggerated). In order to please Miss Mermaid and complete the task, the boy will definitely try his best to find the stolen necklace.
With this in mind, she devised a series of plans, and finally when the banquet started and the boy appeared, her plan began to be implemented.
Although the duchess’ fainting brought a little change, it did bring some convenience to her plan. Without the Duchess’s attention, she can also let go of things she has always wanted to do but dare not do.
And the arrival of the boy means that her plan can be implemented smoothly.
“Follow me.” Di Ling turned around quickly, not letting Xia Nuo see the weird smile on her face.
She walked directly towards the museum shelf in the room, and after moving a vase, there was a ‘rumbling’ sound in the room.
The original desk was moved away, revealing a dark hole and a row of downward steps.
“There is a secret room below here, and the necklace is hidden in it.” Di Ling explained in a good mood. In order to gain the boy’s trust, she didn’t mind divulging some more information, “Actually, the real mastermind of the stolen necklace is the Duchess.”
“She has always liked to collect rare treasures, but she can’t get used to the mermaid. She wanted to teach her a lesson, so she arranged a good show and stole the necklace while the mermaid wasn’t paying attention.”
“That’s why she didn’t agree to let the mermaid search her castle, and she didn’t agree to help her find the thief—wouldn’t that be a thief calling for a thief?”
“Is that so?” Xia Nuo said noncommittally.
He didn’t fully believe these words.
He also speculated before whether the duchess stole the necklace, but the man’s reaction made him overturn this guess.
But Di Ling directly said that the Duchess was the mastermind behind the scenes, either because she deliberately deceived, or because she didn’t know the truth of the matter.
“Let’s go down.” Di Ling found a kerosene lamp from out of nowhere and was holding it in her hand at this time, with a somewhat excited expression on his face unconsciously.
Xia Nuo’s heart moved slightly, thinking of Di Ling’s weird tone when she mentioned the Duchess’s treasure just now, a thought came to his mind: Her real purpose is not to get the Duchess’s treasure, right?
Then why did she call him over? Want to make him a scapegoat?
Indeed, if the Duchess’s treasure was stolen, then Xia Nuo, who had been to the Chamber of Secrets, would definitely be involved.
But is that all?
Xia Nuo couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed, because he thought there was some huge conspiracy waiting for him.
Xia Nuo sighed in a low voice, which attracted Di Ling’s surprised gaze. I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see something moving on the boy’s chest?
But on closer inspection, apart from decorative flowers, there is nothing else on it.
“Come with me.” Di Ling temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart and walked down the steps first.
The passage leading to the secret room is extremely narrow, and only one person can pass through. Thus, the scene of Di Ling walking in front and Xia Nuo following behind her was formed.
Green moss grows on both sides of the steps of the passage, but the middle is extremely smooth. It can be seen that people often walk on it. There are luminous stones inlaid on the walls at intervals. Some of the lights are extremely dim, but they have not been replaced. .
Xia Nuo could hardly see the steps under his feet. He took every step carefully. The further down he went, the air would be difficult to circulate, and there was a damp and musty smell.
Xia Nuo felt a little suffocated, and couldn’t help poking his chest lightly, as if he had sensed his need, a burst of fresh water vapour suddenly came towards him.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Di Ling’s breathing became more and more heavy, and it sounded especially creepy in the semi-enclosed passage.
But compared to her, the boy didn’t seem to be troubled by the lack of oxygen. If he didn’t pay attention to his breathing, he couldn’t hear it at all, especially under the cover of Di Ling’s loud breathing.
Di Ling couldn’t help feeling a little puzzled, but soon, a white light appeared in front of her that completely attracted her attention.
——The chamber of secrets has arrived.
Di Ling obviously saw him too, no, to be precise, she came here specially to find Xia Nuo.
Xia Nuo watched her whisper a few words to a waiter, and not long after, the waiter came over, holding a tray in his hand with a goblet filled with clarified wine.
