[Holy crap? What's going on? Why are there two identical people?]
[You must have used some kind of item, right? I remember there was an achievement item called "Confusing Mirror" for Yunjian before, wasn't it that one?]
[That's possible; otherwise, this situation can't be explained.]
[Old Gao: My soul has been deeply shaken!]
[A conspiracy! A conspiracy! A conspiracy!]
Yun gave Liang Song a wink, and Liang Song then quietly pulled Lao Gao aside.
Not long after, Liang Song returned.
He whispered to Yun Jian, "Before, Li Tao was wary of your speed, so he controlled Tang Jianyuan and made him find a way to deal with you. Later, Tang Jianyuan brought back a person. It is said that this person's attribute is 'a cunning rabbit with three burrows,' which means he can dig a hole in an instant. Those big holes should have been made by him."
Yun Jian looked at the bamboo pile and nodded. "They're trying to trap me in a big pit so I can't escape and they'll wear me down, right? But a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so that person probably hasn't dug out another pit yet."
Liang Song nodded in agreement. "Old Gao also mentioned something else: Li Tao also has a special attribute, which is hypnosis. However, there are limitations on its use; he can only use it once every three days."
"Oh, so that's his special attribute... By the way, where's your brother?"
Liang Song was a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I noticed those people approaching earlier, so I made an excuse to send my brother away."
After speaking, he cautiously observed Yun Jian's expression and tentatively asked, "Brother Yun, you won't blame me for being selfish, will you? I was thinking that my brother is slow-witted and not very bright, so keeping him around would only be a hindrance, so I..."
Yun interrupted him, "So you're saying you had a chance to escape, why didn't you?"
Liang Song paused for a moment, "I... think we can get something from them to save some points."
These past few days, he's witnessed firsthand how stingy Yun Jian is. He's hoarding his points and is reluctant to spend them. If he wants to live a good life, he can only try to get something from other people.
Yun was very pleased, "This young man has a high level of awareness!"
Feeling awkward after being praised, Liang Song turned his head away and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"Of course I'll take back my mirror, then hoist those bamboo poles and head home!"
"Aren't there still a few men lying in ambush? Shouldn't we stir things up a bit more?"
Yun Jian shook his head. "There are too many of them, they're hard to deal with. Besides, we have to harvest the chives one crop at a time. If I pull them up by the roots, where will I harvest them next time?"
Liang Song: "..."
That seems to make a lot of sense.
I think I was subtly criticized.
Not far away, the three of them, "Yun Jian" and "Yun Jian", were still facing off. It was probably because the sight of "Yun Jian" standing in mid-air was too eerie that Brother Li and the others did not dare to make any rash moves.
Yun Jian took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at "Yun Jian".
Then, pulling Liang Song along, they quickly changed positions.
Li Tao and his men, who were lying in ambush, almost clapped and cheered when they saw the arrow suddenly fly out, but the next moment, the expressions on their faces became very strange.
That arrow actually pierced straight through Yun Jian's body!
Yunjian's body only rippled like water before returning to normal.
The scene remained a standoff between the three.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Brother Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and nudged Tang Jianyuan beside him, "Go and take a look!"
Tang Jianyuan was furious but dared not speak out. Knowing full well the danger, he still pushed him out to scout the way. Bah! Scum!
But faced with Brother Li's fierce gaze, Tang Jianyuan dared not say no.
At that moment, Yun Jian spotted the direction Tang Jianyuan came from and shot an arrow in that direction.
Immediately afterward, Brother Li cursed, "Damn it, who ambushed me!"
No one answered, but after he shouted those words, another arrow was aimed straight at his head.
Seeing this familiar style, Brother Li roared angrily, "Yun Jian, you little bitch, come out here!"
He finally understood that this "Yun Jian" was a fake, used to deceive him. The real Yun Jian was hiding in the shadows, waiting for him to appear!
We fell for their trap again! Damn it!
He had thought she had used some powerful method to levitate, which had made him wary for a long time.
Why are you calling me "Grandma"?
Yun Jian, with his hands in his pockets, swaggered in front of Li Tao.
Brother Li squinted and examined Yun Jian several times, as if he was trying to confirm whether it was really Yun Jian.
He put his hands behind his back and quietly made a gesture to Xiao Wu.
Seeing that Li Tao had been standing still for a while, Yun Jianjian knew that this man must be up to some trick again, so she was extra vigilant.
The instant Xiao Wu darted out, Yun Jian moved swiftly and retreated from his original position.
A look of joy flashed across Li Tao's face. He can dodge sneak attacks; he's a real person!
"I thought you were going to stay in the dark and never show your face!"
As Li Tao was speaking, Yun Jian suddenly sensed something was wrong. Before she could do anything, she realized that her body was falling rapidly.
When her vision returned to normal, Yun Jian realized that she was already at the bottom of the pit.
She had anticipated that the person hadn't dug a hole yet, and thought she could dodge it with her high agility, but she had overestimated her abilities.
The pit was about two stories high, and the walls were extremely smooth, as if it had been dug out by a giant mold. There was no foothold to climb up.
Li Tao's head appeared at the cave entrance.
At this moment, he was smugly provoking Yun Jian with the air of a victor.
"Didn't expect that, did you? You thought I would come to you rashly without any preparation? Although you tricked me, the result is good. Now you have two choices: one, sign a master-servant agreement with me and become my servant; two, die in this pit. When you die, your stuff will drop, and I can come and collect it then."
Yun Jian glared at Li Tao, her face full of anger, "Pah, who do you think you are? Lao Gao is still in my hands, do you want him dead?"
"Old Gao? That good-for-nothing? What does it matter to me whether he lives or dies? Even if he dies, I'll only be slightly affected. It's better if he dies; I'd rather have a cripple in my way!"
[Wow, how could Brother Li say something like that? Lao Gao has been working so hard for him for so long, how could he say such a thing?]
[I've been meaning to say this before, this Brother Li is no good. It's just a bear trap, something you could easily fix with a pair of pliers from the store, but he insisted on cutting off the man's foot. Luckily, Old Gao is lucky; he recovered quite well in such harsh conditions in the wilderness!]
Hey, wait, have you all forgotten what Lao Gao did? He was pretty bad too. Bad guys get their comeuppance, isn't that a good thing?
However, the contrast between the two pairs of masters and servants is quite poignant...
[If you want to praise Yun Jian, just say so. Why put one down and praise the other? But even if Yun Jian is great, she's now at Brother Li's mercy. You should hurry up and think about how your master can get out of this predicament.]
[Bug Cafe Cloud is finally coming to an end! Hooray!]
