Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi hugged each other tightly. It would be a lie to say that they weren't afraid when they saw each other's illusion being burned by the fire.
Han Yunxi told Long Fei Ye about her experience, and Long Fei Ye also told Han Yunxi about his experience. The illusion they encountered was actually the same!
It had to be said that this illusion was very cruel. In this world, there was nothing more cruel than watching the person you loved being burned alive!
"Is this illusion testing us?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
"Testing what?" Long Fei Ye was also pondering.
This illusion was indeed like a test. He didn't know if he would die or receive other punishments if he really jumped into the fire to save the fake Han Yunxi.
"I don't understand …"
Han Yunxi didn't want to recall this cruel thing. She asked seriously, "What about Gu and the rest? Did they follow us in? "
The fake Long Fei Ye told her that Gu and the rest didn't come in. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so it was better to confirm it.
"Others don't know. Gu Qishao should have. He grabbed my leg. Then I don't know how he disappeared. "Long Fei Ye said. Their fall had been so strong that their hair and robes fluttered in the wind. He couldn't remember when Gu Qishao had let go of his leg, either.
"Strange …" Han Yunxi was very suspicious. "Long Fei Ye, when did you let go of me?"
Long Fei Ye immediately shook his head. "Absolutely not!"
He could ignore Gu, but he must have protected Han Yunxi well. He had been holding her hand tightly all this time!
"Strange, I didn't let go of you either!" Han Yunxi was more and more confused.
At this time, they didn't have time to think about this problem. It was good that both of them were safe. They had to figure out where they were and where Gu was. Also, how were they supposed to leave this godforsaken place?
"Hurry up and find Gu!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
There was only one secret room behind her, and there was nothing else to look for. Thus, Long Fei Ye brought her back the way they came. They passed through several stone rooms and finally arrived at a palace. There were stone doors on all four sides of the palace. Long Fei Ye took the east gate.
"Take a look at the west gate," Han Yunxi said.
The fastest way was to split up and search, but she didn't dare to let go of Long Fei Ye's hand. Long Fei Ye wouldn't let go of her hand either.
Just as the two of them were about to open the western stone door, the southern and northern stone doors opened at the same time. Gu Beiyue walked out from the southern stone door, while Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang walked out from the western stone door.
This …
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye simultaneously became alert. Gu Beiyue and the other two also came in? Were the three people in front of them real or fake?
When Gu Beiyue and the other two saw Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, they were overjoyed.
"Princess, Your Highness, are you alright?" Gu Beiyue strode over.
Baili Mingxiang and Xu Donglin also hurried over. Baili Mingxiang didn't say anything, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be concealed. Xu Donglin was extremely excited. "Your Highness, Princess, we finally found you!"
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't say anything. Gu Beiyue and the other two quickly realized that something was wrong. The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
"Princess, Your Highness, are you … alright?" Gu Beiyue asked tentatively.
Both Han Yunxi and Long Feiye were trying to figure out how to tell if the three were real or fake.
It seemed a little difficult!
Who knew that at this moment, a miserable cry suddenly rang out.
"Poison lass …"
"Gu!" Han Yunxi was shocked. She immediately recognized the voice.
"It's Seventh Young Master!" Gu Beiyue became anxious. "The voice seems to be coming from the west …"
"Let's go!" Long Fei Ye pulled Han Yunxi and strode over. For the time being, they didn't care whether Gu Beiyue and the other two were real or fake.
They opened the stone door to the west and walked in. To their surprise, they found a towering palace inside. The palace was empty and there was nothing inside. Only Gu was sitting alone on the ground, crying loudly. His hands seemed to be hugging something, and his actions were as strange as they could be.
Seeing this, everyone felt their hairs stand on end.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi glanced at each other. They couldn't tell if this was an illusion or reality.
"Gu … seems to be hugging someone," Xu Donglin muttered.
Indeed, Gu Qishao's actions made it seem like he was holding someone in his arms. Was he possessed?
No one dared to make a sound. Just as they were about to walk closer to take a look, Gu suddenly cried even louder. "Poison lass, Poison lass, wake up, will you! I'm begging you! "
"Poison lass, no matter what you've done to me, I've never blamed or resented you … but … if you don't wake up this time, Qi Brother will never forgive you for the rest of his life! For the rest of his life! "
Gu's tears really kept falling. He cried heartbreakingly, hoarsely and soundlessly.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Han Yunxi was at a loss. What's wrong with this guy? He's crying over me like I've done all sorts of wrong things to him. It's like I've … died.
Soon enough, everyone slowly turned to look at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye's face was so cold that it could freeze all of Cloud Realm Continent.
Especially when Gu shouted, "Poison lass, don't die, will you?!" Long Fei Ye's last shred of reason crumbled as he roared, "Gu!"
His roar echoed throughout the palace, echoing for a long time without stopping.
Gu Qishao, who had been crying his heart out, suddenly gave a start before his cries stopped abruptly.
He looked at his hands and seemed frightened as he shot to his feet and backed away a few steps. He stared blankly at the floor, his face filled with fear.
"Gu, what are you doing?" Long Fei Ye roared again.
Gu finally looked back, only to see Han Yunxi standing perfectly fine by Long Fei Ye's side. He rushed over and pulled Han Yunxi into a tight embrace.
His speed was … god-like! Even Long Fei Ye couldn't stop him in time.
"Poison lass, you … you …" Gu hugged her so tightly that he couldn't speak.
"Let go! Let go! "
Han Yunxi struggled, not because she was afraid of Long Fei Ye's anger, but because … if Gu didn't let go, she'd suffocate to death!
Very soon, Long Fei Ye grabbed Gu's hands and yanked them away without a word. This force didn't break Gu's bones, so it could only be said that Gu was lucky.
Gu seemed to have completely regained his senses as he looked at Long Fei Ye in a daze. Long Fei Ye didn't care what had happened to him as he shook violently and sent him flying.
Gu crashed heavily against the stone wall and bounced back before he hit the ground and fell flat on his face.
Han Yunxi took deep breaths, not knowing why Gu was crying for her. But she had almost been strangled to death.
Gu Qishao raised his head, two streams of breath trickling down his nose to mix with the tears on his face. His devastatingly beautiful face was now a blur.
But when he saw Han Yunxi standing there perfectly fine, he suddenly smiled. The smile that bloomed amidst the blood and tears was so pure and bright. He even forgot to quarrel with Long Fei Ye and muttered to himself, "Poison Lass, it's so good to see you."
Long Fei Ye was about to speak when Gu Beiyue beat him to it. "Seventh Young Master, you … what happened to you just now?"
Gu glanced at the original spot and hurriedly stood up, wiping his face with his large hands to sober himself up.
He recounted what had just happened.
He had pulled Gu Beiyue in, but for some reason, he had suddenly fallen here alone. There was a tall statue of a god with a wolf head and a human body. Poison Lass was kneeling in front of it in worship. He had even chatted with Poison Lass about something, but later on, the statue suddenly turned into a fire dragon and swallowed Poison Lass whole. He threw himself into the sea of flames to save her. But the moment he jumped into the raging flames, the flames were immediately extinguished, but Poison Lass … Poison Lass had also stopped breathing.
He had been hugging Poison Lass and crying for a long time. And just now, when Long Fei Ye had shouted at him, Poison Lass had immediately disappeared from his embrace. Only then did he realize that everything was fake!
As Gu Qishao spoke, he kept his eyes on Han Yunxi, afraid that she'd suddenly disappear. He was afraid that everything before him was nothing more than a beautiful dream he'd had because of his grief, so he could comfort himself.
After hearing this, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye looked at each other at the same time, feeling a lingering fear.
So this was the consequence of jumping into the fire to save her.
If … if they hadn't found this place, would Gu have always thought that Han Yunxi was dead?
Han Yunxi couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had mistakenly thought that Long Fei Ye was dead. Perhaps she would have been a hundred times more heartbroken than Gu. Perhaps … perhaps she wouldn't have lived.
Long Fei Ye wasn't as angry as before. He looked at Gu with a particularly deep gaze.
Everyone needed time to digest what Gu had said. Although Han Yunxi and Long Feiye had experienced it firsthand, they couldn't help but reflect on Gu Qishao's bitter tears and his true feelings. What exactly was this illusion testing?
Why was Gu immersed in the illusion and unable to wake up when he had thrown himself into the sea of flames to save her? And the two of them had hardened their hearts to not save her and had instead succeeded in shattering the illusion?
Gu Beiyue broke the silence. "Seventh Young Master, it was an illusion just now, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Gu was real and what they had seen wasn't an illusion.
"Why was Gu the only one who encountered it?" Xu Donglin couldn't help but ask.
"You didn't encounter it either?" Han Yunxi asked hurriedly.
Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang shook their heads. Han Yunxi was even more certain about this. It seemed that the Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang in front of her were also real.
Gu asked suspiciously, "Why, Poison Girl? You encountered it too? What kind of illusions did you encounter? "
Since everyone was here, there was nothing to hide. Long Fei Ye immediately told them about the illusion that she and Han Yunxi had encountered.
However, after they finished speaking, everyone fell silent and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
What's wrong?
