Zhou Yu's expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer.
Nan Mingcheng was not going to tell Chen Yijin his feelings yet, so he told Chen Yijin what was going on.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Seeing Zhou Yu's tangled facial features almost twisted together, Shen Yijin narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
Zhou Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! How could we possibly hide anything from you!"
Zhou Yu responded too quickly. The more he denied, the more it seemed like he was trying to hide something.
Nan Mingcheng sighed helplessly inwardly, but kept his composure. He calmly helped Zhou Yu out, "Zhou Yu also wants to learn fortune-telling. He plans to build a good relationship with you first, then take the opportunity to steal your skills. Once he's learned all your skills, he'll steal your business and open a live broadcast room for fortune-telling as well."
Shen Yijin pondered it for a moment, and since Nan Mingcheng's explanation barely made sense, she didn't pursue the matter any further.
"Fortune-telling requires talent. You are not cut out for it. You should improve your concealment skills." Shen Yijin looked at Zhou Yu for a few times and shook his head slightly.
Zhou Yu said awkwardly, "Is that so? Forget it then."
While Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he did not forget to curse Nan Mingcheng in his heart, saying that he had to use bad excuses to accuse him of wanting to steal his skills. Wasn't this ruining his reputation?
If he wants to be Nan Mingcheng's love strategist again in the future, he will be a dog!
The plane flew in the air for more than four hours and finally arrived at Northwest Airport.
Shen Yijin and the other two shuddered involuntarily when they got off the plane.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is not just talk. Even though the three of them put on cotton jackets before getting off the plane, they were still freezing.
Zhou Yu rubbed his hands and asked, "Where should we go next?"
The desert was hot enough during the day to boil eggs, and they were pressed for time, so they had to use the night to travel.
"Let's go borrow a camel first, and then follow the map." As she spoke, Shen Yijin had already seen the camel farm staff who came to pick her up at the airport. She took Zhou Yu and the other person over.
The farm staff were reluctant to come out to work so late at night. He handed the three camels to Shen Yijin, forced a smile, and tried to sell them on the farm project: "Do you need a tour guide? We also have professional desert guides on the farm. We guarantee that you won't get lost in the desert."
Chen Yijin declined politely: "No, the tour guide is probably asleep at this time, so I won't let him work overtime."
The staff member turned around and left, cursing. Shen Yijin vaguely heard a few words, probably cursing them for coming into the desert so late at night and their heads must be full of sand.
Shen Yijin shook her head helplessly.
She flipped over and mounted the camel, looking at the map and leading the way.
Traveling in the desert at night is no easier than during the day. Shen Yijin and Zhou Yu were so numb from dealing with desert insects that they had lost all sense of time.
The deeper you go into the desert, the worse the cell phone signal becomes.
Shen Yijin had long since given up using mobile phone navigation and relied on hexagrams to determine his direction.
The location of the organic ranch was relatively easy to find, and the three of them arrived at the ranch before noon.
"I'll go check out the situation. You guys wait here." Shen Yijin handed the reins to Zhou Yu, intending to find the entrance to the underground base by himself.
Nan Mingcheng saw Shen Yijin was about to leave, and hurriedly grabbed her: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, let's go together."
Shen Yijin looked at Nan Mingcheng, then at Luotuo.
She didn't say anything, but everyone knew what she meant.
Zhou Yu taunted mercilessly: "Haha, Chen Yijin thinks you're holding him back! Good brother, you should have some self-awareness. You're as incapable of self-preservation as a camel."
"You'd better stay here with Luotuo. I'll go with Shen Yijin!"
Zhou Yu walked up to Shen Yijin with his head held high, never thinking that he would be rejected by Shen Yijin.
Shen Yijin immediately distanced herself from Zhou Yu and said sternly, "No, you have to stay and protect him and Luotuo's safety!"
Zhou Yu was stunned. He opened his mouth to argue for himself again, but he heard Chen Yijin say again: "You insisted on bringing this person here, so you are responsible for his personal safety. You know how wealthy Mr. Nan is. Even if he sold us both, he might not be able to afford the compensation."
Nan Mingcheng's mouth twitched. "I'm not as fragile as you say... Also, we're all members of the same team now. Could you please stop calling me by this unfamiliar name?"
Chen Yijin gave Nan Mingcheng a look that said "You really have no self-awareness" and ignored him.
She bypassed Zhou Yu, put an invisibility talisman on herself, and walked into the organic ranch with a swagger, calculating the entrance to the underground experimental base.
Just as Shen Yijin guessed, traces of the remaining formations could be seen everywhere in the organic ranch.
It's easy to imagine that these formations were set up by Beilanshan in order to hide the entrance to the underground base.
Shen Yijin calmed down and cracked the formations one by one.
She did not completely break the formation, but only destroyed part of it. This would render the formation ineffective, making it easier for her to find the entrance, and also prevent Bei Lanshan from discovering that the formation was destroyed and rushing over to arrest her.
Chen Yijin quickly found the entrance to the underground base. She did not rush in. She took a look at the entrance and returned the same way to meet up with Nan Mingcheng.
Nan Mingcheng and Zhou Yu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw Shen Yijin coming back, they quickly surrounded her and asked, "What took you so long? We thought something happened to you."
Chen Yijin shook her head: "No, I have found the entrance to the underground base. The process was too smooth, I always feel that there is something strange here."
But they have to try it to know if there is any problem. No matter whether it is a dragon's den or a tiger's den, they have to go in and take a look.
The three of them placed the camels and set off for the underground base in silence.
Shen Yijin pushed open the door of the underground base. Behind the door was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Zhou Yu had the best ability to hide and was also very sensitive to danger. He walked in front, tentatively moving forward step by step.
After the three people entered, the door of the underground base closed automatically.
Shen Yijin tried to open the door again, but found that it was closed and could not be opened from the inside.
"It seems the exit and entrance are not in the same place." Shen Yijin whispered, "We have no way out."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, "We seem to have overlooked some steps. I feel that the situation ahead is very dangerous. It seems that some mechanism has been activated."
Shen Yijin also realized it. She was more intuitive than Zhou Yu and clearly heard the sound of the mechanism being triggered.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
Shen Yijin urged Zhou Yu forward while she was calculating: "It's okay. If you sense danger, stop. I'll calculate a safe path for you. Just do as I say."
The underground base was covered by Bei Lanshan's spiritual consciousness. Shen Yijin tried her best to reduce the fluctuation of spiritual energy caused by divination. However, this made the hexagrams she calculated not accurate enough, and she could only calculate a relatively safe path.
What Zhou Yu needs to do is to find a way to allow an ordinary person like Nan Mingcheng to pass safely based on the route given by Shen Yijin.
Zhou Yu's palms were already soaked with cold sweat. He had a premonition that if he took another step forward, the mechanism would be triggered.
