Chapter 25 Chapter 25 I know they are waiting for me, but...

Knowing what kind of person Fu Liuguang was, Ye Nanque was a little uncomfortable seeing him smile so friendly at this moment.

Fu Liuguang was also very perceptive. He gave Ye Nanque a sharp look and said, "I know we had many misunderstandings before, but you and I have a common goal in Feitian Tower. Since we both want to get out, why not add me? One more person means more strength."

Ye Nanque and Mu Jiulin looked at each other and told Fu Liuguang the known news.

"I see." Fu Liuguang nodded: "I will go with you."

With Wen Ni leading the way, the four of them climbed up the stairs one floor at a time. Every time they reached a floor, they could see the floor signs "Seven, Eight, Nine..."

When climbing to the seventeenth floor, Ye Nanque felt a little overwhelmed.

He never expected that he, a Jindan cultivator, would fail at climbing stairs.

Although spiritual energy cannot be used in Feitian Tower, but...

Ye Nanque looked left and right, and saw that Mu Jiulin on the left and Fu Liuguang on the right were not breathing hard at all.

Why aren't they tired?

Is climbing ten floors so easy?!

Does he need some calcium supplements or something?

But he's only twenty years old and he needs to take calcium tablets...

Mu Jiulin noticed his little action, leaned in closer and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Ye Nanque said stubbornly: "Only a dozen floors, ha, no big deal."

Mu Jiulin looked at him carefully, and after a moment, his eyes smiled into a beautiful arc, like a half-moon: "I am tired from climbing, and my legs are sore, brother, I want to rest for a while."

Ye Nanque immediately followed suit: "Since Junior Brother Mu is tired, let's take a break."

As soon as he said this, Ye Nanque vaguely felt that this scene was a bit familiar. Before he could remember it, he heard Mu Jiulin say sweetly: "Thank you for your consideration."

Ye Nanque glanced at him, not understanding why Mu Jiulin had to choke on his words. Although Mu Jiulin's voice was very clear at his age, he could tell that he had to choke on his words.

Ye Nanque coughed and looked away silently: "It's a small matter."

Fu Liuguang leaned against the railing and glanced at the two of them lazily.

After only a few minutes' rest, they continued to climb. Wen Ni stopped at the 26th floor and said, "I won't go up with you. Once you climb the last floor, you'll understand why I said that it's difficult for anyone other than Ling Huang to reach the 27th floor."

Fu Liuguang, the shrewd man, looked at Ye Nanque and the others, but didn't take a step.

Ye Nanque knew that he was afraid of a trap, and Ye Nanque himself was afraid too.

But in the current situation, Fu Liuguang was unwilling to take the lead. After all, he was Mu Jiulin's senior brother, and who else could be the first to go upstairs?

Ye Nanque pretended to be calm: "Junior Brother Mu, don't be afraid, just follow me."

Mu Jiulin said firmly: "I'm not afraid."

Okay, if you are not afraid, then you go first and I will give you my seat.

Of course, Ye Nanque would not say that.

This last flight of stairs wasn't a big deal, at most it was a little dim because there were no lights. It was just too quiet, with only the sounds of their footsteps and breathing. Ha, ha, ha... Actually it wasn't that bad... ha, ha, ha... He wasn't really scared...

But...why has it been so long and I still haven't reached the end?

Ye Nanque stopped and turned around.

Mu Jiulin was silent for a moment, then curiously asked, "Why does this section of the road feel... much longer than the previous ones?"

Boy, you found the bright spot.

Ye Nanque: "I think so too, so let's go back now and ask Wen Ni for clarification."

The three of them turned around, and Ye Nanque even counted them. They only took nineteen steps to return to the twenty-sixth floor.

Wen Ni squatted on the ground waiting for them, as if she had expected them to come back. She patted her butt and stood up: "Now you understand what I mean, right?"

Ye Nanque: "So the stairs on this level will extend infinitely?"

Wen Ni: "Anyway, except for Ling Huang, no one else can reach the 27th floor."

Ye Nanque appeared lost in thought, but in reality he began to argue with the system: "Let me go up, I'm a college student."

system:[……]

Ye Nanque: [Didn't you hear? I'll say it again, let me go up, I'm a college student.]

System: [I really want to hit you.]

Ye Nanque: [Where's the gold finger? Where's my gold finger?]

System: [It is impossible to activate the cheat code. It will never be possible to activate the cheat code in this lifetime.]

Ye Nanque: [Oh, I'm the host, aren't you satisfied?]

Ye Nanque's long contemplation added a touch of solemnity to the atmosphere. Mu Jiulin came over and comforted him, "Brother, don't be too anxious. There will always be a way."

Ye Nanque looked up at him and an idea suddenly came to him.

The system refused to give him a cheat code, but Mu Jiulin had the real aura of a protagonist.

Ye Nanque pursed her lips and signaled him, "Let's switch places. You go first."

Mu Jiulin was obviously stunned for a moment: "...Me?"

Ye Nanque nodded: "Well, come on, I believe you."

You are the male lead, you are Long Aotian, you are the one who is in trouble and you can definitely do it.

Ye Nanque's eyes were so determined that Mu Jiulin felt as if he had placed all his trust and hope in him.

He gently squeezed Ye Nanque's hand and said gently, "Okay, I'll give it a try. Brother, follow me closely."

Following Mu Jiulin, Ye Nanque felt a little uneasy. He was not sure whether Mu Jiulin's protagonist halo would work at this time. After all, this was an extra plot that was not in the original book.

Before going up the stairs, Mu Jiulin borrowed something from Ye Nanque, a headband.

He covered his eyes with Ye Nanque's headband and said, "Master said that all obstacles are false illusions. Sometimes closing your eyes can help you see more clearly."

…Why don’t you just close your eyes? Why borrow a headband? Now he can only wear his hair loose.

Mu Jiulin seemed to have guessed what Ye Nanque was thinking and smiled: "Senior brother's personal belongings have his scent. When I smell his scent, I am not so scared anymore."

Ye Nanque was speechless, but just pulled the corner of Mu Jiulin's clothes from behind: "I will follow you and will not let you fall, don't worry."

Mu Jiulin didn't say anything else and concentrated on feeling the direction.

Strangely enough, when he opened his eyes, he felt that the road was very dark, but after covering his eyes, he felt that there was a light guiding him ahead.

Feeling the location of the light, Mu Jiulin walked forward. When he took the seventh step, a force from behind pulled him.

Ye Nanque reminded: "A little to the left, you missed a step."

Mu Jiulin paused and said, "Trust me."

He stepped down and his body actually passed through the railing. Unconsciously, his feet stepped on a new staircase that was invisible to the naked eye, and he walked upwards in another direction.

Ye Nanque and Fu Liuguang were both stopped by the railings.

What did he say? It's different with the halo of the protagonist.

The tug at the hem of his clothes disappeared. Mu Jiulin stopped and heard Ye Nanque say in a deep voice, "Keep going forward. Don't look back. You must get the paintbrush."

The voice was undeniable, as if pushing him forward. Mu Jiulin didn't dare to slow down for a moment, and continued to move forward step by step.

He was getting closer and closer to the light source, and his footsteps landed on the flat ground of the 27th floor.

The light source was right in front of him.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed it.

Mu Jiulin took off his headband and saw a jade paintbrush in his hand.

He turned around and said to Ye Nanque excitedly: "Brother, I got it."

It was hard not to be proud. This was their Sword Controlling Sect's youngest! Breaking an illusion was like playing, effortless.

Ye Nanque raised the corner of his lips: "Well done."

Mu Jiulin: "Brother, what should we do next?"

As for the next part... Actually, Ye Nanque hasn't thought about it yet.

He thought about letting Mu Jiulin come down first, and they took the pen back to the room and discussed it slowly.

"Junior Brother Mu, how about..."

"Stop!" A fierce shout came from afar!

Ye Nanque watched Ling Huang rushing over, her hair flying in disarray, completely losing the calmness she had in the past two days.

Before he even got close, Ling Huang shouted, "Stop it, Ye Nanque, tell him to stop! Do you think you can get out by destroying the Tianji Pen? Yes, the two of them can get out, but you, Ye Nanque, there's no way you can get out of this Feitian Tower!"

What? They can go out?

Is this Linghuang a tiger? I’m sending him a strategy guide.

Ye Nanque made a prompt decision: "Junior Brother Mu, destroy it."

Ling Huang's voice became sharp. "Ye Nanque, you're crazy! You drank the wine from Feitian Tower and have been stained with the aura of the painting. Even if the Tianji Pen is destroyed, you have no choice but to stay here with us."

Ye Nanque: "Junior Brother Mu, break it."

Mu Jiulin's hand stopped in mid-air, without moving.

Ye Nanque frowned and said again, "What are you waiting for? The brothers and sisters of the Yu Jian Sect are waiting for you to rescue them. Hurry up and don't be deceived by the evil words."

Mu Jiulin's lips trembled, and his eyes flushed slightly: "I know... I know they are waiting for me, but Brother, you..."

Seeing an opportunity, Ling Huang smiled and stepped forward. "Yes, you are leaving, but your senior brother will have to stay here forever. Don't you think about who your senior brother drank that glass of wine for? If I'm not mistaken, your quarrel with him was also an act. He touched the glass of wine to make me believe. Are you... going to abandon him and leave now? Feitian Tower without the Tianji Pen is very scary. If he stays in a place like this..."

"Enough!" Ye Nanque interrupted: "Mu Jiulin, wake up. I have practiced for many years and I have my own way out. Why are you worrying about me? There is only one chance, don't let me down! Think about Qin Qi..."

No, Qin Qi doesn’t need to think about it. It will easily destroy the atmosphere, hurt feelings and affect the mentality.

"Think about the other brothers and Master! Even if I can't get out, don't you still believe that Master can save me?"

By the way, Master!

Mu Jiulin's eyes lit up again.

Ling Huang thought something was wrong and wanted to step forward to snatch it, but she saw Mu Jiulin squeezed it hard, and the Tianji Pen broke into two pieces in his palm.

The Feitian Building began to sway, and debris kept falling.

The carved beams and painted buildings, the beautiful ladies, in an instant turned into broken walls, withered bones and old skin.
