Chapter 627 Message and Puzzle

Looking at Yu Cang who suddenly stood up from his arms, Gu Jieshuang looked confused.

Boss, this is really...

well.

After she realized what was happening, she couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.

Straight man!

However, it seems that my actions helped the boss come up with a solution to the problem.

That's good.

"Hey, I'm very useful."

Gu Jieshuang smiled and didn't say anything to disturb him.

…

On the side, Yu Cang naturally didn't know what Gu Jieshuang was thinking.

But at this moment, he already understood completely.

His parents gave him two paths.

If you feel danger, you can withdraw. Yes, the Dragon Skeleton will not leak any aura. No matter how many times you use it, even if you use it in front of Madam Yu, no one will suspect it. As a core card, it is enough to build a deck with it, making Yu Cang unbeatable at level 5 and 6.

When he decided to follow his parents' path and step into the quagmire, they would not stop him. At this time, they also gave Yu Cang a stronger power - the elixir of immortality. But he had to get it himself.

Yu Cang stroked his chin and paced back and forth in the room, thinking in his mind.

What if Mrs. Yu has the solution to the mystery...how should he ask?

And, there may be a problem here.

When his parents disappeared, the Desolate Sect had not yet surfaced, and the only ones in the public eye were large and small idle organizations.

Therefore, they may not know that Madam Yu has become a card banner and joined the anti-human camp.

At most, one could think that Madam Yu had some ulterior motive, which made her resort to some scheme against her old friend.

Therefore, in their expectation, their encounter with Mrs. Yu might be controllable and normal, and Yu Cang could slowly test the information step by step.

No one would have thought that he would meet Madam Yu in advance without realizing anything, and that their first meeting would lead to such an explosive scene of banned card production?

Therefore, the opportunities for him to communicate normally with Mrs. Yu were very few, and it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to find out any information in these few opportunities.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang frowned slightly.

Will they think of this?

Walking to the window, Yu Cang looked up and glanced at the dark sky.

Then he raised the terminal and decided to ask for some help.

He didn't think his parents would put all their eggs in one basket... Maybe someone else knew this method.

So, he was going to ask someone.

Become famous!

This person knows both his parents and Yu Wanqing. Perhaps he can provide some clues!

After opening Cheng Mingye’s dialog box and pausing for a moment, Yu Cang typed a few words.

-

Are you there?

-

exist

Almost as soon as Yu Cang sent the message, a reply came.

Yu Cang:?

He raised his eyes and glanced at the time displayed on the top of the terminal.

Two thirty-nine.

Early morning!

A quick reply at this point?

Are all of you in the reception office able to stay up so late and have so much free time?

No, that's not right.

It’s not that the Rehabilitation Bureau is idle, but Cheng Mingye is the one who has the time.

This guy knew that I was now in the heart of the Hunter Clan's Royal Court. Maybe he had guessed something and was waiting for me to send him a message.

After realizing this, Yu Cang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

While he was thinking, Cheng Mingye seemed to be unable to wait any longer... His personal terminal began to vibrate, and a video call came in.

Buzz.

After the call was connected, Cheng Mingye’s big face immediately appeared on the terminal.

"Xiao Cang, Xiao Cang... since we last parted, you haven't even called me once to express your condolences. I'm your teacher after all, so don't you care about me at all?"

Yu Cang: "..."

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Mingye was not annoyed. He moved aside, revealing a figure behind him.

"Look, I heard that you went to the Longevity Tent. Your junior brother couldn't even sleep well. In the middle of the night, he stayed here with me waiting for news from you."

Sure enough, behind him, Zhao Yang was sitting on a stool, with deep dark circles under his eyes, looking listless.

Zhao Yang's soul card master level is not high, and his ability to stay up late is not that strong. For a card maker like him, especially a banned card maker, sufficient sleep is very important.

Seeing Yu Cang, Zhao Yang's tired face showed a very forced smile, he said:

"Brother...long time no see."

Looking at him, it seemed like he would fall asleep at any moment.

"Long time no see, junior brother." Yu Cang smiled and sighed.

Judging from the looks of it, Zhao Yang wasn't worried about him at all... He was probably just forced to get up by Cheng Mingye because he wanted to stay up late to keep him company.

Yu Cang's guess was correct.

Zhao Yang was not worried about Yu Cang's safety at all.

This certainly doesn't mean that he and Yu Cang have a weak relationship. On the contrary, as the only person he recognizes as his senior brother, Zhao Yang trusts Yu Cang very much.

It is also because of this that he has considerable confidence in Cang.

Although he also felt that Yu Cang's deep penetration into the enemy country was a bit too rash and dangerous, he also firmly believed that since Yu Cang chose to do so, he must be able to do it safely, and at the very least he would be able to escape unscathed.

How could a man like Yu Cang, who has so much on his shoulders, do something that would surely lead to his death?

And as long as there is a slight possibility of survival, he believes that Yu Cang will make this possibility 100%.

So, unlike Cheng Mingye, although he knew that Yu Cang had gone to the Great King's Court, he slept so soundly.

But this seemed to arouse this guy's dissatisfaction and bad taste... So Cheng Mingye abused his power as a teacher and deprived Zhao Yang of the right to sleep.

Well... after all, he is a teacher.

Zhao Yang raised his hand and wanted to continue saying something, thinking that since they had already called, they might as well chat a little more, but Cheng Mingye had already moved the camera away.

It seemed that it was just to let Zhao Yang show his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang shrugged and said nothing. While Cheng Mingye and Yu Cang were chatting, he closed his eyes and took a short nap.

…

Cheng Mingye continued to fill the entire screen of Yu Cang's personal terminal with his big face.

Listening to Yu Cang's description, he raised his brows.

"You mean...what do you want to ask? A secret that only your parents and that Yu Wanqing guy know?"

Yu Cang nodded: "That's right."

"...Yu Cang, I'm so disappointed."

"ah?"

"You came to me just for this kind of thing!" Cheng Mingye said indignantly, "You came to me for someone else!"

Yu Cang: "...I'll be more careful next time."

"snort."

Cheng Mingye snorted coldly, but did not avoid Yu Cang's question.

He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

"have no idea."

“…”

"If there really is something that only these three people know." Cheng Mingye spread his hands, "Then I'm obviously not on this list..."

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

At this time, Cheng Mingye thought for a moment and continued:

"But... since you asked this question, let me guess... you may have found some clues your parents left behind, but there's still some mystery to solve... related to their disappearance, right?"

Yu Cang nodded: "You guessed right, I learned from them..."

"stop."

Cheng Mingye suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Don't tell me the specific details... Since you think this is a puzzle they gave you, it's better for me not to know."

"Why?"

Cheng Mingye smiled and shook his finger, "This is trust in the 'monster'... If I knew the question, I would definitely start analyzing it, which would be equivalent to ruining the test for their child..."

"……All right."

"However, even if I don't know what the question is, I can probably guess a little bit." Cheng Mingye continued, "Back then... when we were still studying at Gudu University, we worked together in a club...

"Back then, Yu Wanqing was just a good girl who was good at studying. Not as exaggerated as she is now. But your parents had already made their mark early on and became legends who crushed their peers!

"You know, young people always like to do something unique, and we have created a new language and writing system."

Hearing this, Yu Cang raised his brows and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"New text?"

"Yeah, that's the kind of thing that doesn't make any sense but sounds cool, and that's what your parents love the most."

Yu Cang: "...really no surprises."

He thought about it and it seemed like this was indeed something the two of them would do.

Cheng Mingye continued, "Not many people know that set of words, but as a die-hard fan of your parents, I naturally know it, and—Yu Wanqing also knows it!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Cang immediately asked, "What conditions do you want to teach me?"

He knew that with Cheng Mingye's character, he would never do anything in vain.

But contrary to his expectations, the guy in his personal terminal shook his head slightly: "No conditions, free."

"...When did you become so generous?"

"Thank you for the compliment." Cheng Mingye smiled, "But only this time."

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

After a long moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Thank you."

"Hmm~ This is the most beautiful thank you I've ever heard - then, wait a moment."

He hadn't used this set of characters for a long time, and his memory of them had become fuzzy, compared to the time when he could write them fluently.

Fortunately, after he found Mrs. Yu's message in Qi'er's body, he regained that memory and spent some time to organize the text in its original form.

Now, it comes in handy.

The smile on Cheng Mingye's face grew even wider. He snapped his fingers and turned off the video.

After a while, a file was sent over.

Yu Cang quickly clicked it, and suddenly, an unfamiliar vocabulary list came into his sight.

It seems that this is also an isolating language similar to the Yan State characters, with twisted but rhythmic symbols arranged neatly, and each symbol has a different meaning.

"so……"

Yu Cang took a quick look and saw that the document had tens of thousands of words, so he closed his eyes decisively and entered the Starry Sky Vision Field directly!

He wanted to copy and paste directly like he did in the Sutra Library during the day!

This way of reading actually puts a heavy burden on the mind. With Yu Cang's current strength, he should have to rest for a while before the next time after completing it once during the day... at least he needs to take a nap.

However, Yu Cang couldn't care less at this time.

He just wants to see!

Buzz!

Suddenly, countless pieces of information rushed into his mind. With the help of relevant entries, Yu Cang quickly understood the meaning of this set of texts at a terrifying speed.

At a certain moment——

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a glint of joy flashed in them.

Yes...that's it!

In this language, he saw something very familiar... He must have seen it inside the Death Dragon Skeleton!

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh and seemed to relax a little.

Finally... found the direction.

Sure enough, the solution to the puzzle lies with Mrs. Yu...it's just that Cheng Mingye is very powerful and solves the problem in one step.

He quickly focused his mind on the dead dragon skeleton, and then he clearly saw that among the solidified rhythm, a string of words was particularly conspicuous.

Translated according to the document provided by Cheng Mingye, it is:

"Hello, long time no see"

“—This is a gift for you.”

…

The moment he saw this string of words, Yu Cang felt his eyes swollen, and an urge to cry that he had not experienced for a long time surged into his heart.

They left behind...

He quickly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Now is not the time to let go of your emotions.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already hidden his unnecessary emotions well, and replaced them with a hint of doubt.

This... although it's very touching, isn't this the same as not saying anything?

It seems that this is just a simple message to myself.

Could it be... that there are other words that I have overlooked?

Yu Cang quickly calmed his mind and carefully looked over the rhythm that could be perceived in this soul card from head to toe.

But... no more.

He still didn't believe it, so he searched carefully several times... but still no success!

How could this be...

Yu Cang's brows were tightly furrowed.

Could it be that his guess was wrong? Did the Death Dragon Skeleton actually have nothing to do with the Immortality Elixir?

...No, that's definitely not possible.

Yu Cang was determined.

Since he didn’t find anything, it means that what he got now is not an “answer” but a “puzzle”.

Only after learning that kind of writing could he finally see the puzzle itself.

...So, in the end, there is no shortcut.

The real answer should probably be found in Mrs. Yu.

He sighed imperceptibly.

Then, picking up the terminal, I saw the chat page with Cheng Mingye, and his message had been waiting for a long time: -

Any help?

Pursing his lips, Yu Cang typed:

-

Yes, thank you.

-

Ah...that's good. I'm glad that an old guy like me can still help.

Yu Cang smiled, and then continued:

I'm doing well in the Great King's Court. I'll be back in Yan Country in a few days. Don't worry... I still won't look for you then.

-

Tsk... You don't think I'm not sleeping because I'm worried about your safety, do you?

Isn't it? -

Of course~
