Chapter 280 Illusion 1
Thinking of this, her originally depressed mood improved a little.
Since it's an illusionary formation, it should have a core. If she finds the core, she should be able to get out.
But before she could examine it carefully, her body was suddenly grabbed by a giant hand, and the next second, she was slammed heavily to the ground.
This sudden turn of events left Gu Xinyan somewhat bewildered. Had she actually gotten out?
But the blinding sunlight told her that she was still in the illusion and had not yet left.
After all, when they first arrived at the ancient battlefield, the sun wasn't this strong.
Everything was a hazy gray, and before she could figure it out, she heard a series of mocking laughs.
"Ha! As expected, a piece of trash is a piece of trash. A piece of trash who can't cultivate, staying in the family without feeling ashamed. If it were me, I'd probably find a crack in the ground to crawl into!"
"That's right. The patriarch and the others used to expect this good-for-nothing to be some kind of peerless genius. But when they tested his talent, he didn't find anything. It's really embarrassing! I used to be so envious and jealous of him."
"Hahaha, who can disagree? It's hilarious! I don't know how she still has the nerve to stay in the family. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
"That's right! And even in this state, she still dares to imitate Young Master Ouyang. She's shameless and brazen! Everyone knows that Young Master Ouyang and Miss Qinglian are a match made in heaven!"
She actually thought she could get into the Ouyang family through that marriage contract? She's incredibly audacious!
A barrage of harsh, sarcastic remarks surged forth, enveloping Gu Xinyan completely.
Although she knew they weren't talking about her, she still felt incredibly annoyed by what they were saying.
She slowly raised her head and shifted her gaze to the people who were speaking. What she saw was a group of men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes, who were pointing and whispering at her with disdain.
Looks like I've been pulled into another dungeon by the illusion! It's no longer endless darkness and abyss, but a rags-to-riches story?
And she is the one who is going to make a comeback?
After all, the genius Young Master Ouyang and Miss Qinglian, plus a good-for-nothing like himself, and that marriage contract, it's just as melodramatic as it gets.
Perhaps the group had finished their mockery, and seeing that she didn't react, they got bored and left in a flash, leaving her all alone in the alley.
"Other people who time-travel still have their past memories, but you're making me play a dungeon without even a script or telling me what to do. It's so frustrating, it's beyond speechless!"
Gu Xinyan couldn't help but mutter to herself. She really didn't know anything right now, looking at the clothes she was wearing that had been washed until they were almost white.
It's obvious that she's been transported here by soul, and it seems she can only leave after clearing the level!
But she didn't even know which way the front door opened. Would she end up sleeping on the streets and going hungry?
Just as I was thinking this, an anxious shout came from not far away.
"Miss? Miss, where are you? Say something if you hear me!"
"squeak!"
Upon hearing the soft 'squeak', Yun: "........."
She felt a little embarrassed, but the familiar voice brought her back to her senses. It was her young mistress's voice, so she hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.
The moment she turned into the alley, she saw her young mistress sitting on the ground, covered in dirt. Seeing her mistress like this, Qingyun's eyes reddened.
His eyes were brimming with tears, and he quickly stepped forward to help his young mistress up, cursing under his breath.
"They've really gone too far! How can they keep bullying Miss? You're already pitiful enough, not only do you lack the talent for cultivation, but you're also stuck with this marriage arrangement."
That young master Ouyang is no good either. Now even these collateral relatives dare to climb over the young lady's head and act arrogantly. Humph, it really makes me, Qingyun, furious!
They're just taking advantage of us because we don't have Grandpa's protection, and we don't know when he'll be back; it's been over ten years.
As Qingyun spoke, she carefully helped Gu Xinyan up, as if Gu Xinyan were some fragile porcelain.
Gu Xinyan, who had stood up, listened to Qingyun's words and saw her indignant yet worried expression. Gu Xinyan comforted her, saying:
"Alright, alright, Qingyun, I'm fine now. Oh, right, I bumped my head by accident just now, and I can't remember a lot of things. Tell me what happened."
Since I've been dragged into this illusion, I'm at a disadvantage if I don't know the details, so I can only come up with this lame excuse to get some information out of Qingyun.
Hearing this, Qingyun felt even more heartbroken. In the past, with the master protecting her, when had her young lady ever suffered such grievances? Even if she couldn't cultivate, no one would dare to bully her like this.
However, ever since the old man heard that there were treasures in the Thunder Domain that could help the young lady cultivate, he went to search for them alone. Little did he know that this journey would last for more than ten years.
To this day, she doesn't have a new set of clothes and is often bullied by those people. I never expected them to go so far today, beating her so badly that she lost her memory.
Waaah, poor Miss! Qingyu grew angrier and angrier, but there was nothing she could do. She had taken precautions very carefully, but they still managed to find a loophole.
There have been similar situations before; my young lady was also beaten and lost her memory once. But I never expected that such a thing would happen again after only a few years.
Thinking of this, her eyes reddened again. After secretly wiping away her tears, she carefully checked her young mistress before slowly recounting the story.
"Miss, this is Qingfeng City. You are the daughter of the eldest son of the Mu family. When you were born, it was quite a sensation. Auspicious seven-colored clouds appeared, accompanied by spiritual rain."
At the time, everyone said that the young lady was an absolute genius, but unexpectedly, when her talent and spiritual roots were tested, it turned out that she had five useless spiritual roots and zero talent.
This turn of events dealt a heavy blow to the old man, and from then on, he searched tirelessly for a way to help the young lady cultivate.
Eleven years ago, the old man heard that a magical treasure that could improve one's talents had appeared in the Thunder Domain, so he went out to find it alone. Little did he know that this departure would last for eleven years.
In the first few years, those people were quite well-behaved, but in recent years they've become increasingly arrogant.
