Chapter 179: Scene 4 (Inverted V) Little Lotus Seed Inn...
"Hold you, hold you for a while?" He Yuezhe was a little shocked. He looked at himself and then at Chen Shuo.
She seldom had such close contact with people. The most intimate contact she had ever had was hugging or dissecting a dead person. So she was so frightened when she heard this that she staggered back a few steps.
"Well, was I too abrupt?" Chen Shuo lowered his head embarrassedly, clutching his clothes with both hands.
That was more than just rude, it was simply going to cost her life! He Yuezhe exclaimed in her heart.
"No, it's okay. Well, can I ask the reason?" He Yuezhe softened his tone for fear of hurting the fragile heart of the girl in front of him.
"I have a strange disease. If I don't have physical contact with others, my whole body will become tense and I can't move..."
As Chen Shuo spoke, his head lowered and his voice became softer.
He Yuezhe had an illusion that he would have done something wrong if he didn't hug her.
"Then why did you come to see me?" He Yuezhe asked.
"Because, I originally told everyone that I had brought medicine, but on the way here, no, I accidentally lost it, and I felt embarrassed to bother them again..."
"Besides, I also concealed the fact that Miss He secretly set up the formation today. Is it not possible to ask for such a small request...?"
Indeed, the barrier across the stairs in front of the Tianzihao was a formation that He Yuezhe had set up when she came up, but her formation could only block sound and could not prevent entry and exit.
In other words, someone had added another formation to her formation. After all, a formation that had been set up could not be changed.
"Miss He..."
Was it stated?
Why?
"I'm sorry, Miss Chen, I only hug the dead, not the living." He Yuezhe smiled apologetically and refused.
It seems she needs to be more careful with them.
"..." Chen Shu lowered her head, and He Yuezhe couldn't see her expression. "Okay then, I'll go ask them again. Sorry to bother Miss He."
"I'm going to the inn to rest first. Miss He, please do as you please."
"List--"
Before He Yuezhe could say anything else, Chen Shuo turned around and ran out of the Tianzihao box.
^
After retracting the formation and thinking for a while whether to set up surveillance in this box where the four people often came, He Yuezhe also walked out of the Tianzi Box.
Because of what happened to Tang Shuangrong, plus some miscellaneous little things, by the time He Yuezhe walked out of Weizhenxiu, the sky had been swallowed by darkness.
It was only after he walked out of Weizhenxiu that He Yuezhe had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Unlike the desolate place they had encountered along the way, the Lotus Sect was surrounded by various shops, restaurants and inns, and was very bustling.
"Hey, Miss He!" Ban Weile shouted, waving as he ran over from the door of the Little Lotus Seed Inn next door. "Lotus Sect is pretty good, isn't it? How's the food?"
"Brother Ban..." He Yuezhe nodded at him, "Very good."
"But you too, what took you so long? It's already dark. Didn't you see the beautiful shrimp-colored clouds here in the Lotus Sect?"
"Shrimp Color Xia?"
"Yes, the Shrimp-colored Sunset, the most stunning scenery here. Every sunset, the sunset glow is as beautiful as the color of cooked shrimp. It is said that even scholars have composed poems about it!"
"A scholar? I think it's Young Master Ban himself." Tang Xiqin walked over with a piece of grass in her mouth.
"You, you, you! Miss Tang, stop making fun of me!!"
"Oh, it seems I was right?"
"Humph, Ban is just a little greedy, but he has a good heart. He has the ability to see everything as a beautiful scenery. Others don't have that!"
"Ms. He, please don't misunderstand Miss Tang. She only said these things because she is friends with Ban. She is still a very good person."
"Do I need you to say something nice to me?! I don't care!!!"
"Miss Tang, it's alright, it's alright..."
Ban Weile comforted Tang Xiqin for a few words, then turned around with a smile and looked at He Yuezhe sincerely: "Miss He, I sincerely recommend this Xia Se Xia to you because I think it is beautiful. Although others may not be able to appreciate its beauty, I believe that one day -"
"Cough cough cough cough, the projection experiment I just did didn't affect you, did it? cough cough cough cough...!"
"Yuan Yang, why are you coughing like this?"
"Brother Yuan! Are you okay?!"
Several people quickly surrounded Yuan Yang, who was coughing and falling down at the door of the Xiaolianzi Inn.
"Cough cough cough, I'm fine, cough cough cough..." Yuan Yang refused Ban Weile's support and instead took out a strangely shaped instrument from his clothes and handed it to him.
"Brother Yuan, your health is important! Let me help you go back to your room to take medicine. It's not too late to show us these things when you feel better!" Ban Weile was anxious.
"Cough cough cough cough - I'm fine." Yuan Yang coughed heavily a few times, then stood up straight, "The experiment is more important."
"Yuan, Brother Yuan?!"
"You guys are here, so please help me check out the effect of this new projection I made."
Yuan Yang ignored the horrified expressions of the people around him, stuffed a handful of talismans into the strange instrument, and then placed it flat on the ground.
Lights of various colors flashed, and after a burst of strong white light, everyone opened their eyes again.
"This, this, Brother Yuan, this isn't, how could this be, this?!"
"Well, that's good. Although it still can't achieve the effect of being real, but you can do it like this now. It seems that your skills have improved."
"Ah, um, um..." He Yuezhe didn't know what to say, so he just responded with a few random words along with the two of them.
Then I heard Tang Xiqin's puzzled voice and Ban Weile's screams.
"But if I'm not mistaken, this seems a bit like what we just saw, Xia Se Xia?"
"Ah ...
There were a few clouds in the dark sky in front of me, the color of which was like bright red shrimps, floating there, which seemed a bit abrupt.
Well, to put it simply, He Yuezhe thought the projection couldn't be more fake.
"Pfft, Master Ban finally got the mood to write a poem, but it turned out to be a projection."
"Miss Tang, please don't say anymore! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ban Weile hugged his head in pain.
"Brother Ban, calm down first. Xiao Shu is alone in the room, and Miss Tang has her own things to do. I have to trouble you to go and see her and don't let anything happen to her again." Yuan Yang patted Ban Weile's shoulder.
"What?! I'll be there soon, you guys keep chatting!"
"Oh, Miss He, I have something else to do and have to go first. Your room is on the second floor, the one with the lights off. You can call me if you need anything at night." After Tang Xiqin finished speaking, she threw something to He Yuezhe and walked quickly in a certain direction without waiting for her reply.
After Tang Xiqin walked away, Yuan Yang picked up the instrument on the ground and said to He Yuezhe, "In that case, Miss He, you might as well put the bag in the room first. I will wait here and discuss something with you later."
"...Okay." He Yuezhe looked at Yuan Yang, who seemed like he was about to cough again, nodded, and quickly ran upstairs.
…
The decoration of Xiaolianzi Inn is very simple, but every corner is cleaned very cleanly, and you can see that someone cleans it carefully regularly.
All the rooms on the first floor have lights on, and almost all the rooms on the second floor have lights on as well. Business here seems to be very good.
Following Tang Xiqin's instructions, He Yuezhe found the only room on the second floor that had no lights on.
He Yuezhe opened the lock with difficulty using the key she gave him and pushed the door.
What came into view was a somewhat familiar layout: a bed, a desk, and a huge floor-to-ceiling window that seemed to lead to the outside of the inn.
Putting down the bag, Qu Bie... and then putting down a strange nut that had been on him, He Yuezhe lit the candle beside the door, then closed the door and went downstairs.
"Miss He." Yuan Yang was standing by the stairs, playing with the instrument in his hand. Seeing He Yuezhe coming, he looked up and said, "Sit here."
"good."
"I wonder if Miss He drinks? I just asked the waiter to bring some wine and some snacks. I've tried them before and they're delicious. If Miss He is willing, she can have a taste."
Perhaps because it was too late, there were not many people in the lobby of the inn.
He Yuezhe and Yuan Yang sat in the seats by the window. The hot wind blew into the inn, carrying a few petals with it.
The petals are thin and narrow, snow-white all over, slightly curled, and have a faint fragrance.
This is……?
"..." He Yuezhe was stunned when he saw the flower, and slowly replied, "I don't drink."
Only then did she vaguely remember that Yuan Yang seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance. When she first met him, he drank bottle after bottle.
"Then let's wait until we're done talking, then I'll drink alone." Yuan Yang nodded in understanding, then waved his hand to ask the waiter to bring the wine later.
"Miss He," he said, "this time, I want to talk to you about our affairs."
"We'll register tomorrow and take the test the day after tomorrow. Since Miss He has chosen to go with us and take the test together, it would be best if we all get to know each other well."
“…”
"Everyone in our group has their own strengths and weaknesses."
"Like me, I'm good at making gadgets, and my brain isn't bad either, but my physical strength isn't great."
"Miss Tang is extremely skilled in medicine making and bow wielding. However, her bow wielding style is different from that of ordinary people. It is more aggressive, often resulting in her killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of her own."
"Miss Chen has many talismans that can help us improve our abilities, and she is very smart, but she has physical defects and is not very strong."
"As for Brother Ban, he's good at drawing offensive spells. Although he's a bit large, his movements are very agile, but he's easy to be tricked by others."
"Our main attack and healing methods are all on Miss Tang alone. Even if we assist her at the same time, she will occasionally be unable to resist."
"Therefore, I want to know in advance what Miss He is good at so that I can develop a strategy that we can use when we participate in the collective assessment."
Yuan Yang's speech speed was neither fast nor slow, and the information entered He Yuezhe's mind very well.
Not knowing how much exaggeration it was, He Yuezhe could only temporarily assume that what Yuan Yang said was true.
So now, they have two attackers and two assisting from the side.
In that case...
"I know how to draw formations. I wonder if I can help you?" He Yuezhe knocked on the table with a smile.
The wooden barrel with the chopsticks on the table quickly rotted into water, and the chopsticks all fell onto the table.
"This, this can certainly help, Miss He, that's great!"
"That's great"?
Oh, how much longer do you want to pretend?
She was a little tired from playing.
"Miss He, I believe we will pass the assessment smoothly."
“…”
"Okay, let's look forward to that day."
