Cen Xi and Jun Xiaoqiao stayed in the same spot for a whole day, still unwilling to give up, and asked Jun Xiaoqiao:

"When I first left, did my damn man send anyone to look for me? He couldn't have just left; he should have sent at least one of his subordinates."

"There really is. My dead dog told me that your guy is so nervous that he sent out his four guards to look for you a long time ago. As for why they haven't found you yet, I don't know."

Jun Xiaoqiao was so hungry that she had no strength left. She felt that if he continued to starve like this, it would be better for him to stay there and die a full-bodied ghost than to escape.

"The reason it might not have been found is because of this."

Cen Xi glanced at the jade ring in her hand, then took it off. She had been too clever for her own good and had really gotten herself into a trap.

With the jade ring on her belt, the enemy couldn't find her, and therefore, the person who saved her also couldn't be found.

"Is it because you carry this on your hand that people with the Dark Form can't find you?"

Jun Xiaoqiao guessed it as soon as she saw her movements.

"Ah, yes, you want to hit me? Jun Xiaoqiao, get this straight, it's really not me who dragged you into this, it's just that you meet the criteria for being arrested in some way, so don't take out your hatred and resentment on me, I don't accept it!"

Cen Xi took the initiative, knowing what Jun Xiaoqiao was going to say next, so she quickly pushed away anything that could be related to her.

"Hmph! You stupid woman, even if I have any other value, it's because of you in these mountains. I told you you're stupid, but you never believed me. Well, now you're incredibly stupid, aren't you?"

Jun Xiaoqiao really wanted to kill Cen Xi at this moment, but unfortunately she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Shut up. We can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to find something to eat! Otherwise, we'll starve to death."

Cen Xi thought about it and realized that she was indeed a bit stupid, or rather, curiosity killed the cat, but now that things had come to this, what other options did she have?

If complaining were useful, she would have left long ago and probably would already know why Emperor Taizu wanted to arrest her.

"Then you'll have no choice but to jump into their trap. Where else can you find food?"

Jun Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes lazily.

"Do you think there are any people in these mountains who specifically guard the formation?"

Cen Xi wanted to try robbing someone. After all, she had already been a bandit once, so doing it again would be effortless and required no skill.

"Probably not. We searched for so long last night and didn't encounter a single person. I reckon this formation evolved from the terrain of this mountain. Don't even dream about it. Maybe the person who wants to kill you is watching your every move from somewhere. Why don't you go find the person who wants the result and get some food?"

Jun Xiaoqiao bluntly criticized Cen Xi, saying she was too presumptuous and had already missed the best opportunity to escape; the two of them were now lambs to the slaughter.

"Look at you, so spineless. All you do is compromise when things go wrong. How will you know if you don't try? If they want us to fall into a trap, they should at least keep an eye on us. I think there are definitely people watching us around here, and they must have some food. Since you don't want to believe it, you can just wait here and see how I steal their food."

Cen Xi is someone who doesn't like to admit defeat, so it's basically impossible to make her sit and wait for death; she has to save herself.

"Okay, I'll wait! Just don't mess things up."

Jun Xiaoqiao disregarded her image and lay down on the ground, closing her eyes and waiting to die.

The moment Huo Cheng took the jade ring from Cen Xi, the butterflies in Jun Jianchou and Feng Qin's hands seemed to come alive, instantly radiating vitality.

"Thank goodness, the mistress is still alive, so our lives are saved."

Fengqin was the first to stand up, and laughed heartily.

"She couldn't possibly have died!"

Jun Jianchou glared at Feng Qin, then, with the guiding butterfly, he flashed towards Lingshan.

Zhu Yanniang, who was following behind him, did not say a word and simply followed.

Her heart was captivated. She asked for nothing in return, only to help him and do what he wanted to do.

Seeing the man and woman disappear from the inn like arrows, Feng Qin immediately stood up and said to the taciturn Youhe beside her:

“We’ll go up the mountain too. We can’t lose to those two. She’s our mistress. If we can’t save her first, where will our young master’s face be? Even though he can’t come, he can’t lose to his rival. We have to protect his pride.”

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Why don't you hurry up and leave?"

You glanced speechlessly at Feng Qin, who was still rambling on, and then disappeared in a flash.

Then, the other two ignored him and used their lightness skills to float up the mountain, as anxious as ghosts in the dark.

Well, only Feng Qin can understand the young master's thoughts; everyone else is just a tool.

In the end, Fengqin had no choice but to become a ghost herself, drifting up the mountain.

After Jun Jianchou and Zhu Yanniang entered the mountain, they were lost in a fog, wandering around in circles as if they were in a maze, unable to find their way.

He was a member of the Hidden Sect. Although his array formation skills were not as good as Cen Xi's, he was still quite proficient. However, after circling around several times, he still couldn't break the array, and he became more and more anxious.

Seeing herself wandering around in the same formation with him, Zhu Yanniang was overjoyed but also worried. If he couldn't save Cen Xi like this, would he blame himself for the rest of his life?

She really wanted to help him, but unfortunately the Su Nu Sect never had any books on formations.

"Oh shit!"

Jun Jianchou couldn't break the formation any further, and couldn't help but curse.

Zhu Yanniang couldn't offer much help, so she could only offer words of comfort:

“Young Master Jun, why don’t you calm down and think about this carefully? Sister A-Xi should be fine. What we need now is time to study how to break the formation. Young Master Jun, you should be very proficient in formations. You’re just being too worried right now.”

“Yes, you’re right. I’ve seen it in the library recently. Although I haven’t studied it in detail, I can research it. As long as I calm down, I will definitely be able to save Cen Xi.”

Jun Jianchou knew he needed to stay calm, so as Zhu Yanniang tried to persuade him, he gradually suppressed his anxiety.

Yes, Cen Xi is still waiting for him to save her, how can he lose his composure?

Because the wait was too long, the subordinates built a simple pavilion where the two men were standing on the mountain, and the two men started playing chess again.

Watching Yan Shengxiao silently make his move, Xiao Qiliang finally couldn't sit still any longer and asked the question that had been on his mind:

"My lord, the people inside have been starving for three days, and people have also entered from outside. Does my lord have any further arrangements?"

"No rush. Only experts who study formations can break the great formation on the mountain. Those two women should be willing to fall into the trap today. You don't need to worry."

Yan Shengxiao silently placed his pieces, responding calmly.

To break this formation, unless someone guides you, no one without a brain can break it at all.

In his previous life, Yan Shengxiao was capable of stirring up storms and clouds. In this rebirth, why would he be afraid of these young upstarts? Some things are simply a matter of fate.
