Xue Fanxin placed her hand on the carving. She first pressed down hard, then twisted it forcefully. It actually turned.
A door appeared on the wall beside her, opening automatically.
“There really is a secret chamber.”

Xue Fanxin looked around warily. After making sure that she had not alerted anyone, she walked into the secret room carefully.
As soon as she entered the place, she caught a faint bloody smell. She walked a little deeper and saw a little light. After checking her surroundings carefully, she saw that there was no one inside, so she dared to continue forward.
However, when she walked into the secret chamber, the first thing she saw was a person chained to the wall. She was shocked. Fortunately, that person did not move at all, making her heave a sigh of relief.
The person had cut marks on both wrists. At a glance, one could tell that it was caused by bloodletting. Perhaps because he had lost too much blood, that person was already extremely weak. Even if someone came to the secret room, he did not move, as if he had died.
“Don’t tell me he’s really dead?” Xue Fanxin was a little curious. She took a few steps forward and looked carefully at the person locked on the wall.
But when she leaned forward, that person suddenly raised his head and glared at her with a terrifying gaze, startling her.
The person raised his head and saw that the newcomer was a stranger in night clothes. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman. He put away his resentful gaze and looked at her in surprise, asking in confusion, “Who are you?”
“So you’re not dead! From the looks of it, you’re not with the people from the Hundred Herb Hall, are you?” Xue Fanxin stroked her chin through the black gauze and scanned the guy.
Although he was disheveled and weak, it was undeniable that he was a rare handsome man. However, he was too thin, severely affecting his beauty.

From how thin he was, one could tell that he had been locked up here for a long time. He had been forced to provide blood, so his body was getting weaker and weaker.
“Looking at you, you shouldn’t be from the Hundred Herb Hall either.” The man was also examining Xue Fanxin, and his gaze became hotter and hotter. Before Xue Fanxin could speak again, he had already taken the initiative to beg, “Please, save me. I’ll repay you.”
Although he was begging, the man’s boldness did not diminish. No one could sense any humility in him.
“Then tell me first. Is there anything good in this secret chamber?” Xue Fanxin did not agree right away. It was not that she did not want to save him, but she could not do so casually.
What if she saved someone she shouldn’t have saved? Wouldn’t that be a sin?
“In the cabinet in front, the third hidden compartment on the left has a treasure map. The fourth hidden compartment has a green crystal. The fifth hidden compartment has a pill formula. The hidden compartment at the top has an unknown key.” The man told Xue Fanxin all the treasures in the secret room, not hiding anything.
Nothing mattered to him as long as he could leave this place.
Xue Fanxin did as the man said and took everything in the secret compartments. She took a look and confirmed that it was good before secretly placing it in the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel’s space.
After putting everything away, she walked up to the man and studied the lock on his wrist and ankle. “Who are you? Why are you locked up here?”
These locks were child’s play for her. She could open them easily. However, before saving him, she had to find out more about the other party.
If it was someone she shouldn’t save, she would never save him.
