Chapter 447 Grand View Garden Faction Battle 4

Seeing Suo'etu skillfully pick up Jia Cong once again, and seeing Jia Cong's utterly hopeless expression, Yin Zhi and others watching the live broadcast couldn't help but look at Yin Reng.

Sitting next to him, Yinzhen patted his arm with a look of emotion: "Second brother, you've had it tough too..."

"..." Yinreng closed his eyes in silence. Comparing Suo'etu's words back then, such as "calm and composed," and then looking at the behavior shown on camera that emphasized "recklessness," this was not just beautification, but outright fraud.

Feeling sorry for his son and somewhat guilty for pointing out Suo'etu to Yinreng, Kangxi changed the subject, asking, "Why doesn't Jia Cong have a courtyard? Is there a disagreement about the mission?"

Yin Zhi, who was standing nearby, saw the messages sent by others in the group chat and added, "Currently, Shi Xiangyun, whom Jinzhan is with, does not have her own courtyard at the Lingbo Sect."

Yinreng frowned slightly as he recalled the descriptions of the previous mission requirements, guessing, "Perhaps the difficulty of the missions is different. One type is difficult in the early stages, while the others, although they have specific locations, shouldn't be so easy to enter, right?"

As if eager to respond to Yinreng's words, Yinzuo suddenly exclaimed, "A living plant?!"

...

Yinzhi led Lin Daiyu into Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Surrounded by pink and white walls, inside were several exquisite houses, with hundreds of green bamboos providing shade. Even before entering the courtyard, one could feel the tranquil and elegant atmosphere.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a winding covered walkway. Following the walkway, one finds a stone-paved path beneath the steps, making one feel as if they have stepped into a painting of a Jiangnan water town.

A gentle breeze rustles the bamboo leaves, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere that instantly relaxes the mind.

Even Lin Daiyu, who stepped inside, relaxed her brows considerably, and with a faint smile, admired the scenery of the courtyard.

"The phoenix tails are lush and the dragon's roar is faint... This is indeed a good place."

Hearing Lin Daiyu's praise, Yinzhi chuckled and teased him, "I'd rather go without meat than live without bamboo. This Xiaoxiang Pavilion perfectly captures the literary sentiments of you, young lady."

"What kind of scholar am I...?"

Lin Daiyu said this, but the smile on her lips never faded.

The atmosphere was just right when suddenly, the bamboo leaves, which had been swaying gently in the breeze, instantly hardened and transformed into countless green arrows that shot out, densely packed and overwhelming, heading straight for Yinzhi and Lin Daiyu.

"careful!"

Yinzhi pulled Lin Daiyu behind him and used the high-quality protective shield he had obtained in the previous round.

In an instant, a pale golden light enveloped Yinzhi and Lin Daiyu, blocking the attack of the bamboo leaves. All that could be heard was the incessant "ding ding ding," and a thick layer of lifeless bamboo leaves quickly accumulated outside the light barrier.

You have entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion - Green Bamboo Realm.

[Emerald Bamboo Warns: Xiaoxiang Pavilion can only have one master! Let's fight!]

"What happened?"

Lin Daiyu's face was pale, and she nervously held onto Yinzhi's arm, trying her best not to let herself hold him back.

"It's okay, trust me, it'll be resolved soon."

Yinzhi comforted Lin Daiyu, and in his view, the words "attacked" kept appearing on the protective shield, most of them indicating that the attack was ineffective. However, one or two managed to slip through the net and inflict "-1" damage on the protective shield.

Although the shield's health bar is still quite long, Yinzhi is not one to sit idly by and wait for death.

Under the worried gazes of everyone off-camera, Yinzhi pulled out a... mold from his pocket?

"Times have changed; clay figurines can now be mass-produced..."

Yinzhi murmured softly, then took out a lump of soil that looked extraordinary, radiating a red glow. He took a small piece and put it into the mold, quickly filling the entire mold.

Urged on by Yinzhi, one after another, palm-sized mud figures jumped onto the ground, bounced out of the protective shield, and breathed fire at the bamboo leaves, quickly burning away a patch of open ground.

"This is..." Lin Daiyu looked at the group of fire-breathing mud figures with some hesitation.

"Mud figurines made from fire-attribute clay are perfect for dealing with the green bamboo, which has a metal and wood attribute."

"Oh," Lin Daiyu said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "the five elements' mutual restraint?"

"That's one way to understand it."

Because the fire-breathing little man acted very reliably and was also quite amusing, Lin Daiyu relaxed a bit, and her curiosity became even more irrepressible.

"But... clay figurines should belong to the earth element, right? Doesn't wood counteract earth?"

“The earth element and the earth I use are not the same thing,” Yinzhi explained patiently. “My earth is the source of life, and the five elements are born from earth.”

Because of Yinzhi's patience, Lin Daiyu became a little bolder. Looking at the little figures that were breathing fire and clearing the way, she hesitated for a while but couldn't help asking, "These little figures... look very realistic... I mean, do they have a prototype?"

It's no wonder Lin Daiyu asked that question. After all, it's rare to find clay figurines made of middle-aged people. A lively, fire-breathing little figure with the dignified face of an angry, cursing middle-aged man looks very strange, doesn't it?

Yinzhi said casually, "Oh, I modeled it after my father. He was more... imposing, which suits the fire element."

"..." Off-camera, from the moment the little figure appeared, everyone couldn't help but tentatively look at Kangxi's expression. After Yinzhi said those words, everyone turned their heads even more frequently, as if trying to see Kangxi's expression through a flower.

What could Kangxi do? He could only be strong and say, "Little Eight has me in his heart!"

Yinreng pursed his lips, unusually not showing any jealousy, and said, "Father is right."

In short, as a father, you should just think positively. It's not a big deal, right?

On the other side, Yinzhi, with Yingchun, and Yinzhen, with Xichun, also encountered plant attacks when entering their residence.

More than their worries, people were curious about what unique abilities they would unleash.

I thought that mass-producing the Emperor's version of fire-breathing clay figures using the mold of Prince Yinzhi was already a pleasant surprise, but it turns out there's always something better.

Yinzhi, the last of the brothers to enter the course, was learning the Body Tempering Divine Skill, which sounded unremarkable. However, its application far exceeded their expectations.

Similar to Yinzhi, when faced with the sudden burst of reeds and rushes in the water, Yinzhi immediately opened the protective shield to protect Yingchun behind him.

To be precise, the winter jasmine was enclosed in a protective shield, while he stood casually outside the shield, facing the onslaught of flowers and leaves.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

With a loud shout, a layer of black armor gleaming with metallic light covered his entire body. "Perfect, let me try out my new armor!"

As Kangxi frowned in worry about his rashness, Yinzhi casually uttered two words: "Rebound."

Then, the sharp petals and leaves that had hit him shot back, unexpectedly striking the plant itself.

"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? The first thing I made was a rebound armor!"
