Chapter 337: Desert Forest 23
The short rest allowed Su Qingyun to regain some strength, and she also recovered from the hunting in the underworld just now.
The sky brightened, Ye Yi folded his wings, and Su Qingyun led everyone towards the 99th block.
Along the way, there was no one in the ancient city. After yesterday's experience, many people knew that daytime was the death knell for this copy.
When the sun rises, they have to find a place to hide as soon as possible.
Su Qingyun also quickened her pace, because after eight o'clock, the sunlight would make people feel burning, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.
After returning to the safe house, they need to apply the clear spring water from the fruit on their bodies to relieve the pain.
In other words, the symptoms of the sunlight here are the same as getting burned by breaking the rules.
It is equivalent to breaking the rules by appearing on the streets during the day.
The group ran all the way and returned to the safe house before the sun came out.
Huang Xiaoya came out to greet him and asked about what he had gained today.
"We did find a clue to enter the dungeon. Please prepare some hot water so everyone can take a shower. We can talk about it later while we eat."
After taking a shower, everyone went down to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast.
Yu Liang started asking about their plan for tonight, "Should we go together to find the house marked with a red cross, or should we split up?"
Ye Jian drank mushroom soup and looked up at Su Qingyun. He wanted to act separately because the more dispersed the people were, the greater the chance of finding them.
But this matter still needs Su Qingyun's decision. The safe house is hers, and he also needs her sense of smell to find the soul-calming fragments after entering the dungeon, so Ye Jian didn't say anything, but waited for Su Qingyun's decision.
Unexpectedly, Su Qingyun peeled a potato and asked him, "Ye Jian, do you think we should look for it together or separately?"
Since he was asked, Ye Jian also expressed his opinion, "I think the chances of finding it will be greater if we search separately."
"But how do we notify each other after we find them?" Xu Xinghe raised a new question. The communication equipment cannot be used now. The ancient city has ten blocks, and each block covers such a large area.
"This is indeed a problem." Su Qingyun put the peeled potato into his mouth and took a bite.
But Su Qingyun immediately thought of a countermeasure. She showed the gold bead on her wrist and said to Xu Xinghe, "We have gold beads. You tell me that mine is the mother bead. Just twist it and it will connect with your mind. How about this, you and I will each lead a team. Whoever finds the gold bead will twist it, and then we will meet at the cinema."
Xu Xinghe didn't say yes or no, but said to Su Qingyun, "I didn't expect you to keep wearing the thing I gave you."
"certainly."
Xu Xinghe was instantly happy and he also agreed with Su Qingyun's decision.
"Guo Zi, come with me. I have Yu Liang here, and the two of us should be able to protect him." After Xu Xinghe finished speaking, he looked at Ye Jian and said to Ye Jian, "Ye Jian, Su Qingyun will be with you. You must ensure her safety."
"Are you entrusting her to me?"
"It's not that I'm entrusting you, but I'm worried. You always like to act alone, and I'm afraid you'll act without thinking, so I'm giving you some advice."
Ye Jian smiled slightly and patted Xu Xinghe's shoulder. "Don't bother with this, Mr. Xu. Su Qingyun is the person I like. Her safety is more important than my life. I would rather die than let her get hurt."
Su Qingyun chewed the potato in her mouth and looked at Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian in confusion. She felt that these two people seemed to be competing secretly.
Did anything happen while she was asleep?
She asked Yoruichi, "What happened to them?"
Yoruichi shook his head.
Su Qingyun turned to ask Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian, "Do you have any conflicts?"
She didn't want anyone to have conflicts in her team. It was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go. If there were any conflicts, it would be best to resolve them now.
Xu Xinghe quickly replied, "We have no conflicts, it's great."
Ye Jian just shrugged.
After everyone was divided into groups and had their meal, they spent the rest of the time resting.
Ye Jian went upstairs first, and Xu Xinghe also went upstairs with the fruits. When Su Qingyun was about to go upstairs, Yu Liang stopped her.
"Miss Su, please stay."
Su Qingyun stopped and asked Yu Liang, "Is there something wrong, Yu Liang?"
Yu Liang walked to Su Qingyun and said that he knew what the conflict was between Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe.
"What contradiction?" Su Qingyun was very curious.
Yu Liang coughed lightly and pointed at Su Qingyun. "The conflict between the two of them is because of you, Miss Su."
"Me?" This answer surprised Su Qingyun. How could she become the point of conflict between them?
Could it be that Xu Xinghe was unhappy because she helped Ye Jian smell the scent of the fragments but didn't tell Xu Xinghe?
But shouldn’t this be a conflict between her and Xu Xinghe?
"Did I do anything wrong?" Su Qingyun asked Yu Liang.
Yu Liang kept it a secret, saying, "It's hard for me to say."
If there is anything that is difficult to say, “Just say it directly.”
Yu Liang said it directly. He said that Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian both seemed to like Su Qingyun, but Su Qingyun was very vague on this issue.
"I think Miss Su, you should make a good decision. Will you choose our boss or Ye Jian? You can't have it both ways."
Su Qingyun, "..."
Aren't they teaming up to clear the level? Why is she being asked to make the choice?
Su Qingyun went upstairs and went to Ye Jian's room first.
She went in without knocking.
Ye Jian was taking off his clothes. His shirt had been taken off, revealing his strong muscles.
Seeing Su Qingyun rushing in, he asked with a smile, "Why, do you want to sleep in my room?"
Su Qingyun ignored him and stepped forward to ask, "What are you and Xu Xinghe doing? We are entering the dungeon with our own purposes, and you two are actually quarreling with each other."
"We're not at odds. You're overthinking it." But Ye Jian changed the subject and said, "If there really is a conflict, it's because we both like you, nothing else."
"What do you like about me?"
"I like you and I still need to ask why?" Ye Jian suddenly came close to Su Qingyun and teased her, "If I tell you, will you agree to be my girlfriend?"
Su Qingyun hurriedly stepped back, but was stopped by Ye Jian.
He was afraid that he would scare her, so he quickly said, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. This dungeon is very dangerous. Let's just focus on clearing it. We can talk about our relationship after we get out."
Su Qingyun nodded. She nodded not because she agreed to talk about the relationship after they got out, but because she agreed to concentrate on passing the level.
She warned Ye Jian, "Don't get into trouble with Xu Xinghe. We need his help to pass this level."
"From what you said, it seems like if Xu Xinghe and I pursued you at the same time, you would stand on my side."
"I'm just warning you, not taking sides." Su Qingyun broke free from Ye Jian's hand and turned away.
