Ruan Tianling looked at her, "What's the reason?"
Under everyone's gaze, the maid said guiltily, "This morning I saw a few bodyguards burying something at the foot of the mountain, it seemed very mysterious. Then I was accidentally discovered by them, I was afraid they might kill me to silence me, so I ran away..."
"They didn't see your face?" Nangong Yi asked.
The maid shook her head, "No."
Nangong Yi speculated, "They must have been afraid you would leak the information, but didn't know who you were and didn't have time to find out, so they decided to silence everyone."
Nangong Yi really got it right, and everyone agreed with his assessment.
"Now take us to find what they buried," Ruan Tianling said calmly.
The maid nodded quickly, "Okay!"
So, they all marched toward the foot of the mountain.
...
"It seems to be there—" the maid pointed to a spot ahead.
The others were about to move forward when Ruan Tianling raised his hand to stop them, "Everyone, step back!"
