The atmosphere grew awkward, for no other reason than the fact that Han Yunxi and her husband had encountered the same illusion as Gu Qishao.
This illusion was like a test of "love" — whether to choose a lover or to live an ignoble life.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were actually so cold-blooded and indifferent as they watched the person in their heart being burned by fire.
On the other hand, Gu, the joking and frivolous fellow, threw himself into the sea of fire to save her at all costs.
Could the love between Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi withstand this test? Did they love each other more, or did they love themselves more?
Suddenly, Gu said to Han Yunxi, "Poison Lass, even if it happens again, Qi Brother will still save you!"
Gu Qishao's words were obviously mocking Long Feiye, everyone could tell.
Han Yunxi was about to speak when Long Fei Ye snorted. "Idiot! You can't even tell the difference between real and fake. What right do you have to save her? "
"You're still quibbling!" Gu was also angry.
"You're so stupid!" Long Fei Ye said coldly. When he saw Gu crying just now, he really wanted to rush over and slap Gu awake.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gu Beiyue hurriedly interrupted.
Although Gu had saved him, Gu Beiyue was still impartial. He said, "Seventh Young Master, you didn't pass the test, so you're wrong."
"Saving people is wrong too!" Gu retorted angrily. "Gu Beiyue, can you stay calm when you're watching Poison Lass being burned by fire? Can you tell the difference between real and fake? Can you leave without saving her and leave with a brick? "
"Seventh Young Master, you didn't walk out of the illusion. But they all walked out, didn't they? "Gu Beiyue retorted.
This was the truth. Gu didn't know when he would have walked out of the illusion if Long Fei Ye hadn't shouted at him. Perhaps he wouldn't have been able to walk out of it for the rest of his life.
Gu had nothing to say. He wiped away the blood and tears at the corner of his mouth and spat, "To hell with the test! What the hell? "
"You chatted with that 'Poison Lass' for so long, but you didn't realize she was fake?"
Long Fei Ye's casual words had a deeper meaning. Gu had a chance to tell the difference, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
At the critical moment, sacrificing one's life to save another was a kind of true love. However, this illusion was testing their familiarity with each other. It was testing whether they were familiar enough with each other, whether they understood each other, and whether they could distinguish between reality and illusion in a short time.
Love was blind blind, but this illusion test was a test of rationality. How interesting.
If they didn't even understand each other, how could they talk about love?
Han Yunxi fell silent. She was also thinking about this problem.
Gu Qishao was a quick-witted man, so he understood Long Feiye's sarcasm. He glanced at Han Yunxi and saw that Han Yunxi was also looking at him. He immediately averted his gaze.
He complained coldly in his heart, Do I have a chance to understand?
He didn't know if he didn't want to quarrel with Long Fei Ye or if he didn't want to make things difficult for Poison Lass, but he kept his complaints to himself.
Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, Xu Donglin quickly changed the topic. "That's strange. Why are you the only ones who entered the illusion? The three of us didn't?"
Han Yunxi and the others had only met their sweethearts in the illusion. Could it be that Gu Beiyue and the others didn't have sweethearts in mind?
"How strange!" Han Yunxi looked around. "What the hell is this place?"
Everyone tacitly avoided the topic of the illusion. Long Fei Ye said, "We still haven't seen anything related to the Poison Sect. Let's keep looking."
They'd already passed through the stone doors in the north, south, and east, but they'd all led to dead ends. Now, the only one left was Gu's western door.
Han Yunxi and the others also found a stone door in Gu's palace. However, when the stone door was opened, something unexpected happened.
Beyond the door was an ocean!
In the blink of an eye, everything around him changed. There were no more stone walls, stone rooms, or palaces. All the walls had turned into mirrors that clearly reflected their figures.
It was as if they were standing in a maze of mirrors. They couldn't tell who was who and who was who; which was the real path and which was the middle of the mirror.
Long Fei Ye was very surprised, but he wasn't afraid or flustered. He gripped Han Yunxi's hand tightly and reached out to Gu Beiyue.
Gu Beiyue naturally took his hand, not surprised at all. He also reached out to Gu. Gu didn't mind shaking hands with Gu Beiyue. He arched a brow at Long Fei Ye and didn't waste any words. Instead, he grabbed Gu Beiyue's cold hand.
Seeing this, Xu Donglin took Gu Qishao's hand as well. Gu Qishao didn't mind and didn't say a word.
Although they'd never seen the mirror maze before, they'd all heard of it.
It was easier to get lost in the mirror maze than in the other half of the maze. Moreover, if an illusion had appeared before, it could appear again now. In this way, it was possible to get lost in the mirror maze.
Therefore, before they got separated and lost, the best way was to move together. Even if they got lost, they should get lost together. If they got lost, at least someone would remind them.
Han Yunxi was happy. Long Fei Ye was holding her hand, Gu Beiyue and Gu were also holding hands with them. Only Baili Mingxiang was left standing alone at the side.
If it wasn't for Gu Beiyue's words, Xu Donglin wouldn't have dared to bring her in. Gu Beiyue asked her to come in because he was worried that Bai Yanqing would suddenly appear when they weren't around. It would be disadvantageous to her.
Xu Donglin soon realized that Baili Mingxiang was alone. He pulled his sleeve and was about to let Baili Mingxiang grab it when Han Yunxi reached out to Han Yunxi. "Mingxiang, come here."
Baili Mingxiang looked over. Her eyes were sore.
"Thank you, Princess!" She was a little timid and carefully reached out her hand. Han Yunxi grabbed her hand and held it tightly. "Hold it properly. Don't get lost."
"Your Highness, could it be that we've been in an illusion all this time?" Gu Beiyue asked suspiciously.
They weren't in a hurry to find the exit. They had to at least figure out the situation.
"It should be." Long Fei Ye agreed. If they weren't in an illusion, how could there be such a strange place with so many changes?
Could it be that they were hallucinating because of the poison?
This thought flashed through Han Yunxi's mind. She couldn't be sure and couldn't speculate too much.
If it was a hallucination caused by the poison, then the people she saw weren't real. Even she wasn't real. Everything was just her hallucination. It was like a dream.
If it was really a hallucination, when did it start? Did it start when they approached the altar or when they opened the door to the wordless monument?
Where were their real bodies now? How were they supposed to wake up?
"There's an illusion within an illusion? Multiple illusions? "Gu asked suspiciously.
If they were still in an illusion, then wouldn't that illusion where the divine statue had turned into a raging inferno be an illusion within an illusion?
"Then won't we have to break through layer by layer?" Xu Donglin couldn't help exclaiming.
Breaking through one layer of illusions was already difficult enough, but they still had to break through multiple layers? Who knew how many more illusions awaited them? Would it get harder and harder?
Would they return to the real world after breaking through the illusions? Or would they end up in some mysterious place? They still hadn't seen anything related to the Poison Sect. Would this trip be in vain? It couldn't be that he was trapped here and couldn't get out, right?
Everyone was a little lost. They couldn't figure out what was going on. It had to be said that this was the most fatal problem. How could they win without knowing who their enemy was?
They were currently deep in the mirror tunnel, and there was only one path forward. Long Fei Ye was the calmest of them all. "Let's go ahead and take a look first."
Everyone held hands. Baili Mingxiang led Han Yunxi to the front, so she led the way.
She walked cautiously, afraid that something might go wrong. But despite her caution, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Just like that, they walked hand in hand for a while. Soon, they had no choice but to stop. There was a three-way fork in the road ahead, each leading in different directions.
It was time to make a choice. This was something they were bound to encounter in the maze.
"Let's vote!" Gu Beiyue said. "Vote once every month. Give us a reason! We'll go to whichever door we get the most votes for! "
"There's no reason to choose. It's just intuition," Han Yunxi said helplessly.
Front, back, left, right, above their heads, and below their feet were all mirrors. These three forks in the road reflected countless other paths in the mirror, making it easy to mistake them.
Every path was the same. How were they supposed to choose?
There was no sixth sense to make a choice in this unfamiliar environment. They could tell that the three forks in front of them were real and the ones reflected in the mirrors were fake. Their minds were already very clear.
"Let's try it out one by one. We'll leave a mark on the path we've taken," Gu Beiyue said.
"How do we leave a mark?" Xu Donglin couldn't help but ask. There was nothing here. It was all flat and smooth mirrors.
His words reminded Long Fei Ye. He turned back to look at everyone and said, "No need to walk. Break these mirrors!"
Of course, they couldn't break all the mirrors around them. If they broke all of them, they would be the ones injured.
Long Fei Ye stepped on the mirror under his feet. His meaning was obvious.
Long Fei Ye didn't need to explain. His gaze was enough for everyone to understand what to do.
Everyone gripped each other's hands tightly. At Long Feiye's command, all of them stomped viciously on the mirrors beneath their feet. At the same time, they rose into the air with the same rhythm, their legs straddling the mirrors on either side of the tunnel until they were suspended in midair.
The cracks on the mirrors below quickly spread like ice breaking. They cracked a thousand miles and spread rapidly in all directions.
Soon, you will see the water under the broken mirror!
Heavens, it was all water! It was very, very deep.
Thinking back to the vast ocean they saw behind the stone door, everyone was shocked. Could this mirror maze be in the middle of the ocean?
At this moment, the water under their feet suddenly began to rise!
The bottom of the mirror maze was breaking, and the water kept rising. There was a limit to the height of the mirror maze. If this continued, they would be forced to the bottom by the water and drown.
He only had one choice, and that was to find the exit of the maze as soon as possible before the water rose above their heads.
"Quickly find the exit!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
