Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's voice, Qu Feiyan, who was confused, said "Oh" and then withdrew her inner energy, opened her eyes, and walked towards the villa.

During the process, Qu Feiyan seemed to be thinking about something.

However, when Qu Feiyan took a dozen quick steps to the archway, as she stepped through the first pebble that Chu Qinghe had placed, a wisp of special energy quietly and infinitely entered her mind.

Unaware of this, Qu Feiyan continued walking towards the archway.

"Um?"

However, a few breaths later, Qu Feiyan suddenly froze and her body paused.

At this moment, in Qu Feiyan's line of sight, she was still nearly three steps away from the archway.

Qu Feiyan remembered that she had walked about twenty or thirty steps, and should have already passed through the archway and entered the courtyard.

"Did I just zone out and just stand still?"

With a thought to herself, Qu Feiyan once again lifted her foot and walked towards the archway in front of her.

However, just like before, as Qu Feiyan took a few more steps, even though each step felt grounded, the archway in front of her seemed to have grown legs and kept moving backward with her.

Even now, Qu Feiyan realized that she was still nearly three steps away from this archway.

"Huh?"

At this point, Qu Feiyan also realized that something was wrong.

Then, Qu Feiyan quickly turned her head to look, but when she turned back, the camellia tree was still there, and the layout of the inner courtyard was the same.

However, Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin were nowhere to be found.

"Where is he? He's gone too?"

Seeing this scene, Qu Feiyan turned her head to look at the archway in front of her, and suddenly thought of the "ghost wall" stories told by the old people.

"Could it be that something unclean has entered your house, young master?"

Thinking about it this way, Qu Feiyan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps involuntarily appeared on her skin.

He immediately let out a "whoosh" and used his lightness skill to dash forward.

However, after a dozen or so breaths, what made Qu Feiyan a little uneasy was that even when she was using her lightness skill, the archway in front of her always maintained a distance of three steps from her, as if there was an indelible distance between them.
