Chapter 54: The Secret of Linhu Village 25

"Do you know Ye Jian?" This was Su Qingyun's first reaction.

Su Qingyun was not surprised that Ye Jian knew Xu Xinghe. As the king of clearing the strange copy, it seemed that there was nothing Ye Jian didn't know.

Moreover, in Su Qingyun's perception, Ye Jian's entry into the copy did not seem to be selected by the system, but more like a random choice, because he always knew where he would go next time.

Also, it seemed that Ye Jian did not enter the dungeon for the purpose of clearing it. Of course, he would definitely clear it with S-level, but his intention was not to clear it. It seemed more like he was looking for something. In the two dungeons he encountered, he was rummaging through the drawers.

But how did Xu Xinghe know Ye Jian? Wasn’t this his first time entering the dungeon?

Or is it that the Fanxing Group where he works is studying Ye Jian, the king of clearance?

But this was not the basis for him to ask what her relationship with Ye Jian was.

Xu Xinghe didn't answer with a smile this time. He said, "I don't know him, but he seems to know me."

"You don't know him, how do you know he knows you?" What else could be the medium between the two men?

Xu Xinghe looked at Su Qingyun. This time he smiled and replied, "He left me a message on your phone."

There were three big question marks on Su Qingyun's forehead.

Ye Jian left a message to Xu Xinghe using her cell phone!

When did this happen? How could she not know about it? Or is the weird world so terrifying now that anyone with a new phone can leave messages to people around them?

She asked Xu Xinghe to elaborate.

"Let me elaborate?" Xu Xinghe smiled incredulously. "Shouldn't you elaborate? I'm the one asking."

"I have nothing to do with Ye Jian."

“But he was the one who gave me the phone.”

"Yes."

"Didn't you say the phone was a gift from a friend? How can you say it's okay?"

Are you arguing with her here?

Executives are indeed executives. They are smart and can question people.

Su Qingyun changed her tone, "Just friends."

"That's not what Ye Jian said. He said he has a special relationship with you." Ye Jian even spreads rumors!

Su Qingyun took out her cell phone and clicked on the screen, only to find that she had deleted the chat box with Ye Jian.

Question it now?

Su Qingyun put away her phone. She was now clearing the level, and Ye Jian was living well in the real world. He had plenty of time to chat with her.

But she didn't have time.

"Even if that's the case, what else does Mr. Xu want to say?"

"I want to say that it's not easy for a girl like you to survive in this strange world, but you can't sell out your love just to get out."

Su Qingyun pointed at herself, and she suddenly realized that Xu Xinghe wouldn't think that she was seducing him by hugging his waist.

Su Qingyun left the tent angrily. She decided not to talk to Xu Xinghe anymore, lest he think that she really wanted to have something happen between them.

For the next half hour, Su Qingyun was like a true chivalrous warrior, sitting on a rock with his black cane on his back, waiting for Xu Xinghe to pack up the tent.

After he finished packing, she stood up, put on the hat she ordered from Yijianda, and went into the jungle.

She ate her breakfast (bread and beef jerky) while walking, and did not share with Xu Xinghe. Now she and him were just walking partners, and they were no longer friends in other aspects.

The two walked for more than an hour, and suddenly an old house appeared in front of them.

Su Qingyun pulled out the black vine stick from behind him, and Xu Xinghe also put down his backpack.

Su Qingyun wanted to go forward, but Xu Xinghe stopped her.

"This ancient house is seriously polluted. Let's go in later. You will be responsible for remembering the rules, and I will be responsible for checking the surrounding situation." Xu Xinghe said, and suddenly took out a ring and put it on Su Qingyun's index finger.

Su Qingyun, "..." She didn't even plan to talk to him, so why would he give her a ring?

"No need." Su Qingyun refused coldly and tried to take it off, but Xu Xinghe held her hand.

"This ring is connected to the magnetic field of my ring. If we get separated inside, you can find me based on the magnetic field of the ring."

Reason made Su Qingyun let go of her hand. Compared with anger, life is more important.

She nodded.

Xu Xinghe pushed open the door of the ancient house.

Inside the door, it was even more dilapidated than Su Qingyun had expected. There were collapsed stone tables and chairs, and various objects piled on the side, as well as dead branches and leaves blown in by the wind.

This is not a large courtyard with high walls, but a very ordinary house. It is very old and dilapidated. Two of the rooms even have no roofs.

What danger could there be?

Su Qingyun glanced at Xu Xinghe, wanting to ask him if he was wrong.

Xu Xinghe's expression was very serious.

Su Qingyun also straightened his expression.

The door closed and the system announced the rules.

[Rules for exploring the ancient house: 1. Do not enter the second room in the ancient house; 2. Do not discuss the eldest daughter of the Zhu family's marriage in the ancient house; 3. If you hear the sound of the guzheng, please close your eyes and do not talk to anyone; 4. Do not touch items in the ancient house with eye symbols.]

There were four in total, so few that Su Qingyun was surprised.

She looked at Xu Xinghe, wondering if he was taking advantage of her by asking her to remember such a small amount of information.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of a guzheng suddenly came from the old house, melodious and pleasant.

Su Qingyun closed her eyes because she couldn't talk to anyone. She was also afraid that Xu Xinghe was concentrating on observing his surroundings and not following the rules. In a hurry, she went over and covered Xu Xinghe's eyes before closing her eyes.

The guzheng was played for a long time, and the strange posture between Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe also lasted for a long time.

It lasted so long that Su Qingyun felt that if she didn't stop, she might not be able to lift her arms anymore.

Ten minutes later, the sound finally stopped, and Su Qingyun put down his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xinghe, "Just cover it for a bit, no need to cover it all the time. Although I didn't listen to the rules carefully, I'm not deaf."

In other words, Su Qingyun was a little too self-indulgent.

Su Qingyun, "..." She really wanted to blind his eyes.

But on the surface she smiled.

The next second, Su Qingyun stopped laughing because she saw that the previously dilapidated old house had now become a very magnificent mansion.

It was a typical Hui-style building with high walls and black tiles arranged in an orderly manner. Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe were standing on the corridor in the center of the entrance to the ancient house.

The patio of Hui-style architecture is a place where wealth is gathered. Water from the roof flows here, so a pool is set up in the patio. Bonsai and rockery are placed in the pool, making it look like a scroll painting.

Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe just glanced at it casually and then looked away from the magnificent building. At this time, someone ran out from the main hall, shouting as he walked.

"I have a distinguished guest and I cannot come to greet him. Please forgive me."

The man was wearing a long gown and a jacket, a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes, and had a smile on his face.

He was a person from the early Republic of China.

Su Qingyun muttered to himself, wasn't the Linhu Village copy set in the 1980s? How did it go to the Republic of China?

It seems that the pollution in this house is really serious.

Just as I was thinking about it, I turned around and saw Xu Xinghe also wearing a long gown and a pair of glasses, looking very gentle and refined.

Su Qingyun looked at herself. She had changed her clothes. Judging from her trouser heels and shoes, she couldn't guess her identity, but she should not be a girl.

At least she's not dressed like a girl.

"Mr. Xu!" The middle-aged man saluted Xu Xinghe. "I received a letter this morning saying you were coming. I didn't expect you to come so soon. I apologize for not being able to greet you."

Xu Xinghe just smiled and returned the greeting.

"Is this your follower?" the middle-aged man pointed at Su Qingyun and asked.

Xu Xinghe, “…”

Su Qingyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes, I am Su Daqiang, Mr. Xu's follower."

Xu Xinghe, “…”
