He kept going in circles; as long as he didn't leave this place, the illusion would persist. Next, he might encounter a fake Mu Wenya, a fake Ouyang, a fake Xiao Fang…

Therefore, he must leave here immediately!

Seeing that the white smoke was about to rise from the ground again, Mu Nanxun did not stand still to wait this time, but quickly ran towards an iron gate not far away.

No matter what lies on the other side of the iron gate, he has to break through. Otherwise, staying here will only trap him in endless illusions, unable to go anywhere, let alone save Yi Yi.

Mu Nanxun made it to the iron door before the smoke engulfed the entire basement. The door was unlocked, with a crack in it.

Without hesitation, Mu Nanxun pushed open the heavy iron gate and squeezed inside.

Here... there was indeed no white smoke, but it was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

If we can't see it, so be it. It's better than being trapped in an illusion forever.

"Smack..."

Suddenly, the surroundings lit up.

Mu Nanxun immediately became alert and reflexively turned to the side.

"Yiyi...?"

Behind him, tied to a huge pillar, wasn't that Yi Yi, whom he had been longing for day and night?

Having learned from the previous experience, Mu Nanxun still had doubts.

Could this be fake again, like before?

Upon hearing her voice, Yi Yi, who was bound, raised her head. Her small face was pale and bloodless. Her usually bright eyes were filled with confusion and unease. But when she saw the man's face not far in front of her, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

“Mumu, you finally…you finally found me. They said you definitely wouldn’t make it through that ordeal, that you’d be trapped there and die. I…I didn’t believe it. My Mumu, you’re the smartest and most capable person in the world. I knew you’d find me and rescue me…I’m so happy…”

"Don't say anything. With me here, you don't need to worry about anything."

Mu Nanxun rushed forward, severed Yi Yi's body, and lowered her from the pillar.

Perhaps because she was too weak and had been tied to the pillar for too long, her limbs were sore and weak. As soon as she was untied, her whole body fell down. Fortunately, Mu Nanxun reacted quickly and caught her around the waist.

What happened to your foot?

Mu Nanxun noticed the shackles on Yi Yi's feet.

Yi Yi leaned weakly on Mu Nanxun's shoulder, her breath barely audible, her head almost drooping to his chest.

She shook her head with difficulty, replying haltingly, "It was...it was them, afraid I'd run away, so they put shackles on my feet. Originally...originally I was locked in a small, four-walled room. But...but they drugged me, they wanted to...to kill me. It was...it was Fifth Brother who saved me..."

"Fifth Brother?" Mu Nanxun's expression was grave. He had heard of the Fifth Brother before. He just didn't know if the Fifth Brother Yi was talking about was the one from the legend.

That fifth guy, according to legend, was fair-skinned and looked like a college student. Judging from his appearance alone, no one would guess that he was a shady character who took money to do dirty work for others.

Almost everyone in their industry knows him.

Of course, what he is most famous for is not his appearance, nor his strange behavior. Rather, it is that he possesses an exceptional skill.
