Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the spot where he was standing was elevated above the surrounding area. Although the surrounding area was perfectly fitted together, it was still obvious that this place was different from the surrounding area and was pieced together.
At the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, and Mu Nanxun tried to pull himself out, but it was too late. His entire body, along with Yi Yi, sank rapidly, plunging back into darkness.
"hiss……"
Mu Nanxun frowned slightly.
As he fell, he instinctively shielded Yi Yi. However, when Yi Yi landed, she hit his arm, striking the spot where he had been bitten by a wolf not long ago, causing him to grunt in suppressed pain.
Yi Yi immediately turned over and saw that his wound had reopened, and blood had stained his sleeves.
"Mumu, you're bleeding! Get up quickly, let me bandage you!"
Mu Nanxun sat up, his strong hand blocking Yi Yi's path, but his gaze went past her and looked behind her.
"Fifth brother."
This is not a question, but an affirmative statement.
Just as rumored, he was clean-cut and cheerful, looking like an innocent and harmless student. Who would have thought that such a refined-looking young man actually had the blood on his hands?
Therefore, Mu Nanxun's first reaction was to block Yi Yi behind him.
Upon hearing this, the man slowly stood up from his seat, looking at him with a hint of approval.
"Young Master Mu Nanxun of the Mu family, I have long admired you. I originally thought that the outside world's evaluation of you was mostly exaggerated. But after meeting you today, I realize that I still underestimated you. You are the only one among so many people who was not trapped by my illusions."
"You mean..." Mu Nanxun said calmly, "that the current you is not an illusion?"
In fact, Mu Nanxun had heard of Lao Wu's name quite a bit before, and the legends surrounding his illusions were almost divine. Therefore, when he realized that Yi Yi and the old man he had encountered earlier were both illusions, Mu Nanxun was already prepared for a protracted battle.
I never expected to see Lao Wu so soon.
But... is this fifth brother real? Or is it just an illusion, like before?
If the maze set up by the Fifth Brother was really as formidable as rumored, he shouldn't have been able to overcome it so easily. This is indeed somewhat inconsistent with the legends circulating in the martial arts world.
Upon hearing this, the fifth brother remained calm for a long while before speaking. "If you want to know if I'm real, just try it."
Yes, you'll know once you try.
Mu Nanxun's right arm was still bleeding profusely, the wound from the wolf bite had reopened badly.
He tore a piece of cloth from his shirt and wrapped it tightly around the wound on his arm several times. Then, using his left hand and teeth, he tied a knot in the bandage.
"Mumu, let me do it." Yi Yi volunteered, carefully bandaged the wound, and tied a somewhat rustic bow.
Mu Nanxun smiled, planted a kiss on Yi Yi's forehead, and breathed softly into her ear, "Wait for me."
Yi blushed, lowered her head, and responded with a soft "Mmm".
After settling Yi Yi in, Mu Nanxun stood up and confronted Lao Wu.
"Since you want me to try, then I'll give it a try."
"Since we're going to have a contest, let's set some conditions. Today, only one of us can leave here. If I fall, you can take her with you. But if you lose to me, then I'm sorry, you and she will both die here."
