Chapter 661 Unexpected
Feng Tianyu stopped first and pulled Ye Wanxi to his side.
"Something's wrong."
Ye Wanxi's expression also turned serious; something was wrong. They had roughly understood the layout of this street before they came in.
The entire house is no more than fifty meters long, but after walking for a while, they still couldn't see the end of the road.
Most importantly, she felt uneasy after entering the passage, as if something was watching them from the shadows—it was damp, dark, and malevolent.
"The person in charge and these staff members are all ordinary people; I didn't see any threat from them."
“The more this is the case, the more vigilant we need to be. Didn’t you say that the two things you encountered before were related to this?”
Ye Wanxi nodded. Apart from the tea pet at Grandpa Du's house not long ago, the antique painting at Zhang Xiaoxiao's house was also found to have been bought in this area.
One thing can be said to be accidental or unexpected, but if two things come together, then there must be something fishy going on that they don't know about!
"Stay close to me, don't leave my side."
"Um."
As soon as they finished speaking, they felt an unusual fluctuation coming from behind them.
A sword light flashed past, and a hand that was still moving around appeared in front of the two of them. The moment it landed, the hand turned to ashes.
At the same time, another hand suddenly reached for Ye Wanxi's shoulder. Feng Tianyu swung his long sword and cut it down, which quickly turned to ashes.
The sudden turn of events put the two on high alert, especially after they discovered that the people who had been walking in front of them, including the person in charge, had vanished without a trace.
After a brief silence, the two suddenly felt a tightness in their calves. Looking down, they saw two hands gripping their calves tightly.
Moreover, after their legs were grabbed, countless hands reached out from the walls on both sides, almost blocking their way.
For an ordinary person, this would probably be the only way to die.
However, neither of them were ordinary people. Feng Tianyu twirled his longsword, easily blocking those strange attacks.
There is no blood, and there is not much realism. These hands are not real hands. Compared to the attack and damage, they are more of a visual impact, making people feel goosebumps and fearful at first glance.
Ye Wanxi didn't hold back either, directly pulling out a long sword from her spatial ring and simultaneously placing an exorcism talisman on the blade.
The already sharp longsword, combined with the talisman effect, shone with golden light. Those hands that had just touched the blade seemed to have touched something terrifying, either retreating or dissipating.
The sudden attack did not cause any real harm to the two of them; however, their movement forced them to separate their clasped hands.
When the contraptions dissipated and the two, who were less than half a meter apart, tried to get closer together, a mirror suddenly rose from the ground and stood between them, separating them.
The moment the mirror was erected, the four walls also instantly flipped and transformed into mirrors, reflecting their figures.
"Yuanyuan!"
Ye Wanxi was stunned. Feng Tianyu's shout before he disappeared still echoed in her ears, but he had already vanished before her eyes.
In her desperation, she almost instinctively swung her longsword, trying to break through the mirror in front of her and get to the Fengtian Domain.
However, something unexpected happened.
The moment the longsword was swung down, a blinding light instantly enveloped her.
Ye Wanxi couldn't open her eyes at all. Then her mind went blank, everything went black, and she knew nothing more.
At the same time, the few people scattered in different places glanced at the sky as if they had a premonition, and simultaneously clutched their chests, feeling a strong palpitation that made them feel extremely uneasy.
"Junior sister, junior sister, wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!"
In her hazy state, Ye Wanxi seemed to hear someone calling her. She tried to wake up, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
After struggling for a while, I was finally able to open my eyes, and what I saw was a familiar bright red figure.
"Qi Yao...Senior Sister?"
Ye Wanxi stared blankly at the person in front of her, feeling as if a lot of things had suddenly disappeared from her mind, leaving her feeling empty and uncertain.
"You're finally awake. What were you doing last night? You slept so late and wouldn't get up. I thought you were being haunted by something, and I was just about to pat you."
The girl sitting on the edge of the bed looked to be in her early twenties. She was dressed in a bright red outfit, and her shoulder-length hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin. She looked incredibly dashing.
"I..." Ye Wanxi shook her head, her reaction slow, "I'm probably a little tired these past two days and I've been sleeping too soundly. Is there something you need from Senior Sister Qi Yao at this time?"
"You forgot? Tomorrow is Master Uncle's 70th birthday. Didn't we agree last night to go down the mountain with Senior Sister Yunke and the others today to buy some things as birthday gifts for Master Uncle tomorrow?"
"Seventieth birthday?" Ye Wanxi blinked. Yes, tomorrow is her master's seventieth birthday, and she really needs to prepare a birthday gift for him.
The gift had actually been prepared a month in advance. Ye Wanxi had crafted a superior-grade cauldron herself, but the cauldron was a little bit ugly on the outside.
This was a technical problem, and Ye Wanxi couldn't come up with any decent solution herself. She could only take it to a craftsman in town to help repair the exterior so that the cauldron would look somewhat presentable.
Because the project was quite large, Ye Wanxi made an appointment with the other party to pick it up today.
However, the senior brothers and sisters on the peak still treated her like a child. They were worried about her going down the mountain alone, so they found an excuse to go down the mountain together to buy gifts and invited her to go out together.
Last night, Ye Wanxi had arranged to meet them at 7:30 in the morning, which was 2:40 AM.
Looking at the sunlight outside, it must be at least eight or nine o'clock. No wonder Senior Sister Qi Yao came to call me.
Thinking that she had been late and made her senior sisters wait for so long, Ye Wanxi blushed slightly and felt quite embarrassed.
"Oh, I overslept and woke up late. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Qi Yao didn't mind at all. She reached out and rubbed her head, smiling as she said, "It's okay, it's okay. Our little Xixi is still young. She needs to sleep more to grow taller. I also woke up late today. I was called away. Anyway, it won't take us too long to go down the mountain. If we go later, we can grab some lunch outside."
Ye Wanxi nodded, got up as quickly as possible, washed up quickly, and followed Senior Sister Qi Yao out the door.
Several senior female students were indeed waiting outside early on. When they saw Ye Wanxi come out, they did not scold her. Instead, they happily pulled her aside and said a few words. They were all very much looking forward to this trip down the mountain.
