“We can’t get out now. I guess the resentment in this ancient city is too great. Only when we save the lives of the entire Cao family can it end.”
Fang Xiyue was also quite helpless, and she didn't know if everyone could understand.
"Let's treat this like an escape room game. Let's share what we've observed before, and then we'll come up with a new solution."
Song Yifan has the personality of "since I'm here, I'll make the best of it" and is not anxious or irritable at all. He just solves problems as they arise.
Everyone started discussing the plan.
"We found the place where Lu Xingchuan was hidden on the roof, in the woodshed next to the kitchen in the backyard."
So we'll go straight into the woodshed in a bit, so the teleportation should take us directly into the woodshed.
"Just tie up Lu Xingchuan and leave; the Lu family probably won't find out so quickly."
“The Lu family will greet guests at the door, so we can inform them as insiders that the food and water may be poisoned.”
"The eldest daughter of the Zhou family entered the Cao residence in a bridal sedan chair, so if we have time, we can intercept the sedan chair directly."
We'll split into three groups; whichever group succeeds, we should all have a good result.
After a long discussion, the three lines were finally decided.
Then one group went to the woodshed of the Lu Family Escort Agency, another group went to the academy opposite the Lu family, and a third group went to the alley that the Zhou family's eldest daughter's bridal sedan chair would inevitably pass through.
Because they would only be teleported when they fell asleep, they lay down as soon as they arrived.
As long as one of them is asleep, they will be teleported there.
Soon, a feeling of dizziness struck, and the street became lively again.
Fang Xiyue and her group intercepted the bridal sedan chair. This group was more skilled, and each of them was equipped with a Tang sword, which they held in their hands before going to bed.
"Quickly, go wait at the alley entrance."
Fang Xiyue and the others were all wearing masks, so they weren't worried about others seeing their faces when they went out. Even if someone did see them, it wouldn't matter, since they wouldn't be found later anyway.
Before long, the sounds of music and drums could be heard, and everyone gripped their Tang swords, ready to fight.
As the bridal sedan chair was about to pass the alley entrance, they rushed out and began to snatch it.
The moment they rushed out, the onlookers in the street screamed.
They began to scatter and were indeed blocking the way, but Fang Xiyue and Jun Nanxuan had already reached the bridal sedan chair.
Fang Xiyue lifted the sedan curtain and saw the bride inside with a red veil covering her face. "Miss Zhou, we are sent by the Lu family to pick up the bride. Please come with us."
That was just an excuse; otherwise, Miss Zhou definitely wouldn't have cooperated.
"Really? That's great, I'll go with you right away."
Miss Zhou lifted her veil, revealing her exceptionally beautiful face. That Lu Xingchuan is truly a scoundrel; how could he bear to abandon such a beautiful woman?
Jun Nanxuan stole two horses. Fang Xiyue rode one with Miss Zhou, and Jun Nanxuan rode the other. The others got entangled with the wedding party.
They headed towards the Lu Family Escort Agency.
Chu Xingyan and his men from the Lu Family Escort Agency have already captured Lu Xingchuan and brought him to the Lu residence without anyone noticing.
Fang Xiyue and her group led Miss Zhou directly into the inn. They had already arranged for two adjacent superior rooms to be reserved for them.
They went into one of the rooms first and waited for Chu Xingyan and the others to take Lu Xingchuan to the other room.
"Miss Zhou, please wait here. Someone will come to meet you soon."
Fang Xiyue tried to calm the Zhou family's young lady down. She was a ruthless person who would wipe out an entire family at the slightest provocation.
"Yes, thank you for your help, young lady."
Miss Zhou was very dignified, the epitome of a well-bred young lady.
Not long after, a voice came from next door, "Why are you arresting me? Let me tell you, if my dad finds out something has happened to me, he will definitely not let you off the hook."
Upon hearing this voice, Miss Zhou could no longer sit still. "Lu Lang, that's Lu Lang's voice!"
“Miss Zhou, let’s listen again. Don’t you find it strange that Lu Xingchuan isn’t dead?”
Miss Zhou then remembered that Lu Xingchuan should be dead, so why was he here?
“You’re already dead, so your father wouldn’t dare report you to the authorities. It’s also unrealistic for him to lead a large-scale search for you.”
"Tell me, how come you, a dead man, are still alive and well? If you don't tell me, I'll bleed you dry, slice by slice."
Chu Xingyan's aura was so powerful that anyone who truly felt it would be afraid. The key was that he wasn't just talking; the knife had already slashed Lu Xingchuan's thigh.
"Ah! I'll talk, I'll talk, don't kill me, I faked my death on purpose."
"I don't want to marry Miss Zhou. I have someone I love, but she keeps pestering me, so I resorted to this tactic!"
Lu Xingchuan's voice came from the next room. Although she couldn't see him, Fang Xiyue could already imagine his face.
Miss Zhou couldn't hide the shock on her face, and a tear rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.
"You're lying to me. This isn't Lu Lang's voice. You've had someone lie to me."
Ms. Zhou is more inclined to believe the person she has invested her emotions in over the years.
"Let's go take a look together. We'll know for sure if it's fake."
Fang Xiyue opened the door as she spoke, and Miss Zhou hesitated for a moment before walking to the door next door.
"I've only met that Miss Zhou once, but she's been pestering me relentlessly and spreading rumors that we're engaged. It's really driving me crazy."
Lu Xingchuan's voice continued inside, and Miss Zhou reached out and pushed open the door.
"I really..."
Upon seeing Miss Zhou, Lu Xingchuan's words caught in his throat.
"So this is the truth about Lu Xingchuan!"
Miss Zhou slightly raised her head, but her face was full of hostility, and her hair was wildly disheveled as if blown by some unknown wind.
As expected, the Miss Zhou in front of them now is the soul of Miss Zhou trapped in this world.
Everyone thoughtfully left their rooms and closed the door behind them, then all ran towards the Cao family's house.
They hope the Cao family is alright; their main concern is that the poison was administered with the help of others.
They had only run halfway when they suddenly felt disoriented and found themselves back in the distance of the ancient city.
Fang Xiyue wasn't sure if the mission was completed perfectly, so she silently signed in.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in! You have gained ownership of Island No. 8 and Miss Zhou's gratitude.]
[Fang Xiyue: What is Miss Zhou's gratitude?]
[Host, don't overthink it. It's just a sentence from Miss Zhou: "Thank you all so much for your help. If we ever meet again, I will definitely repay your kindness."]
Well, okay, I was overthinking it. Fang Xiyue thought she would get some kind of props or weapons.
However, she still asked the system to reply with "You're welcome."
"Did we succeed or fail?"
Everyone quickly gathered together again, and they were all quite concerned about this issue.
"It should be a success. We'll take the helicopter and leave. If it's successful, we'll head straight to the next island. If it's not successful, we'll start over. You have to play a game over and over again, so it's fine."
