The green-clothed gongzi caught the reactions of the four of them and turned to look at Xuanyuan Yin, "How is the expansion point coming along?"

Xuanyuan Yin's face was indifferent as he replied simply, "The rough tunnels have been opened and more than half of the rooms have been dug out. We can start installing the large mechanisms and handle the rooms within three months."

The young man in cyan asked, "There's no soil outside, right?"

Xuanyuan Yin nodded his head, "Shadow has instructed that the belly of the mountain should be arranged in a simple manner. It can only be used for rest. "One or two additional obstacles outside of the cave will be of basic use."

The green robed young master asked, "How is the Poison Hall?"

Shadow walked out from the shadows at the corner of the wall. "The residences and training grounds have already been tidied up. All kinds of items can be bought within half a month. The large and small tunnels were still under construction, and the basic usage would also be completed in three months. In addition, the mechanisms at the outer layer of the valley have been set up, and the second layer can be installed anytime. "

The green-robed young master nodded his head in satisfaction, "Both sides are quite fast. The next step is to prepare to add more people after the amnesty." "The people sent by the Valley of the Underworld are led by Xuan Yuan and Qian Hen, while those at the Poison Hall are led by Gong Tianlang. Feng Yunxuan …" He looked towards Feng Qiong.

Feng Qiong said: "I'll personally lead the people then. I've already instructed the Pavilion Masters to help with the Main Pavilion."

The green-clothed gongzi nodded and looked at Xuanyuan Yin once more, "Are the Nether Valley's blueprints by your side? Bring it to Hall Master Yun for a look. "

Xuanyuan Yin turned his head to look at the shallow mark that was standing behind him. He took a few steps back and touched the wall with his finger. A rock protruded from the wall and he took out a pile of blueprints from it. He handed them to the green-clothed gongzi and silently retreated behind Xuanyuan Yin.

The green-clothed gongzi took it and handed it over to Yun Kai casually, "This is all the blueprints for the expansion site of the Netherworld Valley. Right now, they only have a general idea of the general direction, Hall Master Yun, please take a look and see if there are any places that can be modified."

Yun Kai gave a few glances at the rough blueprints above, and flipped through them.

Jiang Wuyan took a casual glance and was slightly startled when she saw the familiar handwriting. However, she recovered her indifference and did not look any further. Instead, she shifted her gaze away.

As Yun Kaiyue continued to read, the surprise in his eyes grew, slowly becoming more and more serious. It took a good three minutes before he finally breathed out a mouthful of foul air and looked away.

After waiting for so long, there was no sign of impatience on Young Master Qing Yi's face, and his smile remained as bright as ever. "How does Hall Master Yun feel? Is there anything wrong with it? "

Yun Kai hesitated for a moment before replying truthfully, "The time is still too short. Allow me to carefully examine it before I give my young master an answer."

Young Master Qing Yi made a gesture to welcome him, "After this, Hall Master Yun will have a lot of time to look at it when you return to your room. Hall Master Yun is the expert, according to the mechanical news, and thus, you will not be able to use these blueprints for the time being, you can leave it at Hall Master Yun's place. "

"Thank you, Young Master." Yun Kai thanked him and after pondering for a moment, he could not help but ask, "These blueprints seemed to be written by a single person. Although there are some modifications, it's not hard to see the ability of the person who designed them. Is it convenient for Young Master to reveal the person who designed this set of blueprints? "

The green-clothed young master smiled, "I bought the blueprints."

Yun Kai was startled, but he did not believe what he heard. "You bought it? Who would be willing to put in so much effort to draw such an exquisite blueprint for a stranger? "

The green-clothed young master folded his hands to cover his lips, "People with such skills should know that the value of this set of blueprint is enough to attract a fatal disaster to them, so they won't draw it for strangers right?"

Yun Kai was not annoyed by having his thoughts revealed, he nodded and acknowledged it, "Exactly so."

The green-robed young master asked, "In your opinion, what kind of attainments do you think the creator of this blueprint has?"

"Hard to say." Yun Kai looked at the blueprint in his hand, his eyes filled with praise, "The blueprint is very ingenious, there are many details that an ordinary person would not notice that are pointed out and countermeasures taken. These trivial solutions were also very interesting. With the advantage of land, this was an ability that every painter needed. However, the key to determining the pros and cons was the extent to which the land would be used. "I have yet to observe the actual terrain. Based on this set of blueprints, this person's usage of the terrain can be described as' Perfection '."

The green-robed young master stroked his chin, "That is true."

Yun Kai flipped through the blueprints in his hands and took out a small half, "With so many blueprints, the number of things that can be considered as having this set is at least forty percent. The rest were just some random gadgets. Apart from the modifications made by the mechanism, there were even a lot of proposals for adding a few more mechanisms up after the general framework had been established, as well as for the special characteristics of the swamps and mountain stream. And under each plan, the pros and cons were described. If this set of drawings was designed for others, there was no need to do so. To put it bluntly, no matter how detailed you write, if you show it to someone who doesn't know anything about the mechanism, you won't be able to tell anything. "

The green-robed young man smiled and didn't say anything as he heard the man's suspicious tone. He was waiting for the man's next words.

Seeing that he did not react, Yun Kai continued, "This kind of blueprint will only be similar to that of fellow disciples. For someone else to use this blueprint, too many solutions and explanations would just be a waste. It could even be said to be unnecessary. Compared to teaching him, Zhang Xuan's guidance was much deeper. Careful, serious, and cautious. Apart from this, one could see that this person was not confident. This kind of person must be extremely demanding and flawless. They must be extremely proud to the point where their personality would instead be humble and reserved. The handwriting was neat, the lines were clear, and the plan was full of his sharpness. However, the sketches inside were very casual, which also showed that he was actually not that harsh on himself. The most likely scenario would be that the person who would correct the mistakes in this set of blueprints would be very picky. "

The smile in the green-robed young master's eyes deepened as he nodded his head, indicating for him to continue speaking.

Yun Kai drew a few circles on the map with his finger, "Besides one of the special features of the mechanism, it is a mess. It wasn't a mess, but the feeling of hundreds of guilds gathering together. At first glance, this set of blueprints was very deep, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like this at all. What I could clearly see were the Tang Sect, Puppet Palace, and the Marquis Mansion. The Tang Sect's mechanisms were light and ruthless, the Puppet Palace's mechanisms were thick and sturdy, and the Marquis Mansion was mainly involved in formation and formation of mechanisms. They were also one of the forces that had the most flexibility in utilizing the terrain. "In addition, there are also some array mechanisms in the martial arts world. Ordinary people don't have the money to find so many."

Finally, Yun Kai picked up another piece of paper and looked at it, "This piece of paper, costs six taels of silver a stack, and is even more expensive. Honeysuckle could only use his invitation to distinguished guests in such an important occasion like the obituary. Ink was as precious as paper. Most importantly, all of the words and lines were drawn from right to left. There is only one person in my memory who can write such a beautiful word with his left hand. "

When he heard the last few words, not only Young Master Qing Yi, but even Jiang Wuyan couldn't help but smile.

"Pa Pa Pa Pa." The green-clothed young master clapped his hands and laughed. "As expected of Hall Master Yun. With a few words, you managed to reveal the identity of the owner. This humble one is impressed."

Yun Kai had a complicated look on his face, "I really can't believe that Zhao Qingyan could create such a blueprint in such a short span of time. In my opinion, he is just a pampered playboy. Even though he has some talent, I don't think he's willing to put in the effort.

The young master was deep in thought, "Isn't he a pampered foppish young master from the start?"

Yun Kai laughed, "I suddenly remember Young Noble's word about 'talent'. Tang Xiao is actually not a very good master, but the disciples he teaches are far better than the ones I teach. "

Young Master Qing Yi gently waved his fan, "Don't cry. Although you don't have much talent, you are willing to do your best. And to him, Young Master Qi is nothing more than a toy to pass the time while drawing and playing with the zither. How much trouble would he be willing to put in? "

"A person with mediocre talent trying his best to match his talent?" Yun Kai fell into deep thought.

"Otherwise." The green-clothed gongzi corrected him with a smile, "Don't cry because your talent is not mediocre. Compared to the other so-called 'geniuses' in the Puppet Palace, they are dwarfed. "

Yun Kai laughed, he did not follow his words and replied, "I have an even weirder question, could Young Noble please answer it for me?"

The green-clothed gongzi smirked, "If I don't answer your question, wouldn't you be able to guess it yourself?"

Yun Kai asked with a faint smile, "If Young Noble does not want me to know, will you give me the chance to guess?"

The man in green shrugged, "You can't guess. Maybe it's something I don't want you to know?"

Yun Kai was startled, then he laughed, "That's true, since Young Noble does not want me to know, then I will not ask any further."

The man in green said, "I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you the identity of the person who modified the blueprint."

Yun Kai gave a faint smile, "I hope that I have a chance to find out in the future."

The green-robed young master smirked, "I will."

Jiang Wuyan looked at him coldly and said lightly: "Young master, I was a bit caught off guard by your skill."

The young man in green said, "With an expert like Hall Master Yun, our Dark Valley will be even more unbreakable in the future."

Yun Kai shook his head, "Looking at the marks of these changes, this person's ability is definitely not inferior to mine. If the two of them were to supervise and build this mechanism, then their attainment of the mechanism technique will definitely be even higher. "

"It's a pity that both of them don't have the time to take off their duties. Therefore, this perfect opportunity could only be wasted in vain."

Yun Kai looked a little disappointed, "Every outstanding mechanical master is made out of silver, it's rare to see someone as generous as Young Master willing to contribute, it's a pity that this is such a good opportunity."

The green-clothed gongzi stroked his chin, "Although these two are not here, this is indeed an excellent opportunity to train them. If Hall Master Yun does not mind, are you willing to give a few pointers to a young man who is also training in mechanical arts while constructing the mechanism? "

Yun Kai was interested, "Oh? I wonder who the young master is talking about? "

The green-robed young master continued, "I believe Hall Master Yun has heard of this person before. He's one of the disciples of the Magical Poisonfeather Sect, Quicksand."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but look over at the Palace Mistress, only to see that the two of them also had expressions of shock on their faces. Gong Sou took a glance in the direction of the silhouette, then quickly turned back and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

"Quicksand …" Yun Kai muttered to himself for a moment, "I have seen him before, he is a good sapling of the institute. Since Young Master is so reliant on him, then I naturally have no reason to reject him. "

The green-robed young master asked, "Is Hall Master Yun not troubled?"

Yun Kai laughed, "I'm not busy anyway, why not remind me about my juniors?"

The green-robed young master said, "Then I'll have to trouble Hall Master Yun."

"Hey, Gongzi, are you three really the disciples of the same person?" Feng Qiong sized up Gong Tianxian with interest, her face filled with curiosity.

"We have been by Master's side since childhood, so we are naturally one person's disciples."

Feng Qiong tilted her head, counting her tender white fingers: "One cultivates the poison arts, one cultivates the appearance changing, and one cultivates the mechanical arts. Although I don't know much about that junior of yours, I can see that the two of you aren't that similar in terms of martial arts. Why are there so many things in the Magic Victory Society? "

The green-robed young master laughed, "Do you think that the disciple of the Demon Poisonous is actually taught by the Demon Poisonfeather?"

"Isn't it?"

The green-robed young master turned his gaze towards Gong Qing, gesturing for him to speak.

A trace of haze momentarily appeared in Gong Tianxiong's eyes, but it was quickly restrained. He exchanged a glance with Qian Jin, exchanged unfathomable glances, and slowly said, "Even though the six of us acknowledge the hall master as our teacher, we were groomed by a few martial uncles and Palace Master Mo. Sixth Junior Brother and I will follow Hall Master Tang to learn poison techniques, while the other Junior Brothers will follow Hall Master and Senior Masters to learn how to disguise themselves and use all sorts of weapons. "

Feng Qiong was startled. "Six? Why are there three more? "

Gongzi narrowed his eyes. His mood, which had always been well-restrained, was visibly fluctuating. His thin lips were firmly bitten by his teeth.

"Gong Qing!" He gave a low shout and shook his head.

Gongzi clenched his fist, and nodded in front of Qian Jin's gaze: "Not three, to be exact, only Qian Jin and I are left. This is also the reason why you have not heard of Quicksand and the others for so long despite only knowing me and Drifting Water. "

At this time, the usually quiet Drifting Water could only interrupt Gong Jue with his words, speaking in his stead, "The six of us selected the most outstanding six people out of all the disciples in the Medicine Hall. After going through rigorous training and killing, we will become the personal guards of the four young masters in the future. When the Puppet Palace was destroyed, the six of us were ordered to protect Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master. "

He smiled, his delicate and pretty face as gentle as ever: "The three Junior Brothers who were protecting Third Young Master were torn to shreds, and had their heads placed in a box in front of my master. The Third Junior Brother, also known as Flowing Sand, helped Fourth Young Master block the palm strike, but was still unable to stop the Fourth Young Master from getting injured. If Hall Master Tang hadn't rushed over in time, his meridians would have been shattered and his dantian would have been destroyed, causing him to lose his life a long time ago. "

Everyone shivered when they saw the gentle smile on his face.

"So …" "The one chasing Fourth Young Master is Hall Master Yang. Who was the one that killed our Junior Brother?"

Listening to Gong Mi's questioning, Yun Kai was silent for a long time before slowly replying, "Isn't your life's existence just for the four of them?"

Gongzi narrowed his eyes and did not say a word.

Yun Kai's voice was calm, he spoke very slowly, "If they don't die, then who would believe that Don't cry that they are already dead?"

Gongzi gritted his teeth, remaining silent.

The broken limbs of his junior, the hidden sorrow in his master's eyes, and the resentment and mockery in his senior uncle's eyes …

These...

Gongzi closed his eyes, opened them again, turned around and walked out.

"Gong Qing!" What replied him was the sound of the stone door closing. Turning back to look at the smiling Young Master Qing Yi, Qian Chao knelt down and said, "Young Master, please forgive me. I'll go find Gong Qing first." After saying that, he turned around and gave chase.

Watching his subordinate leave, there was no trace of anger in his eyes. Instead, his smile grew wider. "Interesting."

Yun Kai slowly stood up and cupped his fists towards the Young Noble in greeting, "Young Noble, I'm a little tired, if there's nothing else from him, would you allow me to take my leave first?"

"Xuanyuan, help me send Hall Master Yun back to his room."

"Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer." Jiang Wuyan also stood up with a calm expression.

The man in green raised an eyebrow, "Is the lord of Jiang Zhen also leaving?"

Jiang Wuyan adjusted her sleeves, "I am not interested in these trivial matters. If there is anything that you need me for, please feel free to call me over."

The green-robed young master said, "We've been rushing the entire way. It's good for you to rest early." He nodded towards Xuanyuan Yin.

Xuanyuan Yin lowered his head, stood up and walked in front of the two and indifferently said, "Please."

Looking at the door that was slowly closing behind them, the shadow that was hidden in the darkness revealed a faint smile.
