Chapter 43: Turning Around



"Teacher Lu, I've never found a wooden sign."

Lu Jingxu didn't say anything, but was stunned. His fingers trembled slightly and he stood there.

I silently counted the time in my heart.

Twenty minutes have passed since the last elimination...

Twenty-one minutes...

Twenty-two minutes...

The elimination bell still didn't ring.

Su Yinyin actually lied to herself twice.

She wasn't the second to last at all.

When did it start.

She and Qu Mingkai even designed a plan for him to use his opportunity to solve a clue.

Give them a greater chance of winning.

He finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and ran towards the location of clue number two where he had moved.

There was still hope...at least he felt that she would not go to that place again.

And there were only a dozen minutes left. Even if she found it, she probably wouldn't be able to get there that quickly.

He ran into the clothing store and looked at the clerk, but seemed to already know the answer.

"Has she been here?"

The clerk nodded, surprised that Lu Jingxu, who had a cool poker face, could still show such a serious expression after being teased.

His expression gradually became more interested.

He hadn't seen clue number two, so he could only walk to each location one by one.

Finally, I saw a familiar figure in front of a gambling house.

At the same time, Su Yinyin turned her head to look at him, her eyes shining brightly.

Ding Dong sounded, and the announcement sounded: "Clue number two has been successfully deciphered, the undercover failed, the player won, guests, please go ahead."

She held clue number two in her hand, shook it, then opened the note in front of Lu Jingxu and read out the contents of the clue.

"My spear is broken and sinks into the sand, my thoughts rise and fall, after ten years of not seeing you, I miss you so much - Miss Yin, sir."

The general played by Lu Jingxu is still thinking about his childhood sweetheart from ten years ago, but he has more than one childhood sweetheart.

He used the death of the canary to express his dissatisfaction with the royal family for making him guard the border for ten years, and now he wants to use a marriage certificate to bind himself to this Kyoto forever.

———

Su Yinyin first used her watch to tell the time when someone had tampered with it, and then told Qu Mingkai that Lu Jingxu had the jade pendant on his clothes at the beginning of yesterday's performance, so that Qu Mingkai would have some trust in her first.

Then the two of them worked together to make Lu Jingxu think that the number two wooden sign and the last eliminated person were both Qu Mingkai, diverting his attention from Su Yinyin.

Then he used the red string that he had seen in Enbo Temple a long time ago, which was inscribed with the promise that General Lu made to Su Yinyin in the afterlife, to deepen Qu Mingkai's trust.

Let him willingly serve as bait and use up Lu Jingxu's knife skills.

Then, she hid something from everyone—she won the second round of the game, but the reward she exchanged for was not a rotation of rankings in the future.

Instead, you gain a skill that allows you to see through clues once.

If it weren't for this skill, perhaps Lu Jingxu would really win this time.
