C59 (2/2)

Director Chen was currently leading his subordinates in cleaning the Jiuhua Hall. As he wiped the plate clean, he absentmindedly complained again and again: When will Ninth Miss return?

Every day, he would stand outside the palace in the Ninth Miss for a moment. The gaze in his eyes was as deep as the abyss, profound and ethereal, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

He had helped the Ninth Miss deceive the Duke, and this was a huge crime in itself. Ninth Miss must definitely return safely as soon as possible so that he can pass through the ocean without detection!

He had no idea that the current Jiu Mu Li was thousands of kilometers away and was currently facing the greatest danger in history.

Director Chen let out a long sigh and continued to lead the people to clean up the place. Suddenly, he heard two hurried little palace maids walk past and mutter:

”The matter of the Purgatory Volcano erupting is really strange …”

”That's right. I heard that the demonic beasts on the mountain noticed it a long time ago and fled with the help of their animal instincts.”

The plate in Director Chen's hand fell to the ground and with a 'kacha' sound, it shattered into pieces.

Ignoring the broken pieces of porcelain beneath his feet, he ran towards them with a cold expression. ”You two! What were you saying just now? ”

Which one of the young palace maids didn't know that this was a Director Chen from the His Highness Duke of Qin Palace? He occupied an especially important position in front of these small palace maids, so they were all cautious and restrained. They lowered their heads and muttered, ”These servants were just talking about the eruption of the Purgatory Volcano.”

Volcano eruption?

Director Chen's heart suddenly thumped loudly, his expression changed greatly, he remembered that Miss Jiu Mu Li left seven days ago! It had been seven days now, but there were still no signs of a safe return.

The Purgatory Volcano that had not moved for ten thousand years had actually erupted in a single night?

He made calculations with his fingers, thinking that Jiu Mu Li had most likely arrived at the Purgatory Volcano at that time, and his heart immediately started beating uncontrollably.

What should he do?

Originally, they were hoping that Jiu Mu Li's return would cause troubles for them, but now, the Director Chen was at a loss of what to do.

Once he informs Qin Zheng of this news, wouldn't it mean that she and Jiu Mu Li had allied themselves and deceived their master? But if he did not say it, Jiu Mu Li was afraid that he was in deep waters.

Should he take a gamble or not?

The Director Chen was so conflicted that he seemed to be in a mess. Unknowingly, he had already arrived outside Qin Zheng's door. Gritting his teeth, he strode forward.

Qin Zheng was leaning on the bed, reading a book. Seeing him enter, Qin Zheng did not even bat an eyelid, and continued to leisurely turn the page.

”This servant has something important to report!”

The Director Chen's respectful voice contained a tinge of trembling.
