Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Do you want to be my card master?
The gate of the residential complex behind him was making creaking sounds with only a broken frame, and in front of him there were continuous footsteps coming closer and closer. However, these sounds that could easily attract the attention of passers-by were completely ignored by Clay. The tall young man only looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan's eyes shifted and he looked at Clay.
Clay seemed to be very happy to see Lu Zhu get humiliated, and his brows were extremely relaxed at this moment.
"What do you mean by slapping someone?" When Su Yuan retracted his gaze and successfully talked to Lu Zhu, he clearly felt that Clay's gaze had slightly changed. "I'm not that kind of person. I just saw a fallen leaf in your hair and wanted to help you remove it."
The unexpected answer stunned Lu Zhu in front of Su Yuan.
Su Yuan caught a glimpse of Clay's mouth corners freezing for a moment before they moved down.
Suppressing his heartbeat that was getting faster because of some vague idea, Su Yuan curled his lips and said, "Then pick it yourself."
"Is that so?" Lu Zhu reached out and touched it blankly. When he found that there were really leaves in his hair, he showed an annoyed and sad expression on his face. With tears in his eyes, he carefully asked, "Can you help me again?"
Su Yuan shook his head and refused decisively, "No."
Lu Zhu looked so pitiful that tears were about to fall from his eyes. "Is it really not possible?"
Su Yuan was not justified but also very confident, "You have misunderstood my behavior, of course I can't do that."
Lu Zhu raised his hand and brushed away the fallen leaves while crying. He then said something to Su Yuan, but Su Yuan pretended to be kind and was misunderstood and ignored him completely.
As the values on the instrument jumped up again, the surrounding environment began to change obviously.
The red color of the signal flares in the air became less and less visible, and a heavy, gray fog began to spread.
The vision was greatly restricted, and the large unfinished buildings in front were swallowed up by thick fog. Through the hazy fog, Su Yuan could only vaguely see the area around him.
Chu An and his team were the second team to come back.
When the man in a well-dressed suit appeared, he first looked for Su Yuan.
He strode to Su Yuan's position and extended his hand to Su Yuan very naturally and familiarly.
When Su Yuan put his hand on him, Clay, who was very close to him, lowered his eyes to block the color in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Although it was Chu An who went out to explore, Chu An asked Su Yuan instead.
Su Yuan shook his head and asked back politely, and got the same answer: "It's okay."
The [Ring of Eternity] held in his palm brought a slight pain, and Su Yuan spread out his palm.
Even though the thick fog had obscured all light, the [Ring of Eternity] seemed to be shining brightly on its own, with an eye-catching halo surrounding it.
[Ring of Eternity] is useful to Su Yuan and can prevent him from being summoned by the mysterious organization again.
"Can you give me the [Ring of Eternity]?" Su Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked straight to the point.
Su Yuan actually didn't want to ask any more questions, but he couldn't use the [Ring of Eternity] at the moment.
This kind of copy item must have a mental imprint on it, but Su Yuan does not know how to use mental power, so he has to ask his card master for help.
Chu An was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and looked at the [Ring of Eternity] which had all his original traces erased. He didn't understand why Su Yuan wanted it.
Card creatures are a very special form. The [Ring of Eternity] cannot work on cards. It can only have relevant effects on the human body.
In Chu An's opinion, the [Ring of Eternity] is of no use to Su Yuan.
While Chu An continued to look at the [Ring of Eternity] in Su Yuan's hand, he had already projected his mental power into his storage items, preparing to find out the objects that could be useful to Su Yuan first.
Su Yuan didn't know that Chu An was going to give him something more useful. When he saw Chu An's reaction, he thought that Chu An was unwilling to give it to him.
Su Yuan immediately became a little nervous, "Don't you want to give it to me?"
Su Yuan tightened his fingers holding the [Ring of Eternity] and quickly thought about how to make Chu An change his mind. His brain was working hastily and he actually thought of a way, "Have you forgotten what happened in the conference room just now?"
Chu An called him his wife for no apparent reason.
Although Chu An had apologized at the time, Su Yuan didn't care about that at the moment. He continued to whisper, "Don't you think you should do something to make amends?"
A verbal apology is too thin.
This [Ring of Eternity] can serve as a perfect apology for this matter.
When Su Yuan spoke again, Chu An immediately became anxious.
He was panicking and just wanted to explain how could he not want to give it to Su Yuan, he was just planning to find something useful.
But the words that Su Yuan hastily added afterwards strangled Chu An's words.
Chu An's heart was beating even faster than when he was anxious just now.
Chu An's body became tense and stiff, as if he had been hit by a hammer.
To make up for it?
Is this to make up for the relationship confirmation ceremony that he and Su Yuan lack?
Chu An's brain was buzzing as he looked at the [Ring of Eternity], and his own heartbeat was beating violently in his ears.
Therefore, the reason why Su Yuan asked him to give her the [Eternal Ring] had nothing to do with whether the [Eternal Ring] could have any effect on Su Yuan. Su Yuan only valued the fact that the [Eternal Ring] was a ring, and the ring had——
It represents a special meaning of a certain status!
Chu An's ears turned red, and the blood even spread along the earlobes to his neck. The blood vessels in his neck were beating vigorously with the sound of his heartbeat like a drum.
Chu An stared at Su Yuan blankly, with honey welling up in his heart. He felt like he was going to be killed by Su Yuan's sweetness.
How could his beautiful cards be so cute and lovable.
He had already prepared for the so-called confession ceremony, so there was no need for Su Yuan to thoughtfully prepare the steps for him.
Chu An was surprised and felt guilty.
Why does he always ask Su Yuan to teach him how to fall in love?
no!
He couldn't go on like this, he had to ask for advice from people like Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei.
As soon as this outing is over, he will immediately sign up for the love guru’s class!
"Of course I'm willing to give it to you." Chu An said this with a sweet tone, his voice stuttering a little.
Although Su Yuan was somewhat puzzled by Chu An's reaction, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
He spoke again, "Then can you help me leave a spiritual imprint on the [Eternal Ring]?"
This time Chu An agreed very quickly.
Just when Su Yuan thought he had finally solved a difficult problem, he heard Chu An's very serious question.
"Do I need to kneel down to help you brand me?"
Su Yuan’s beautiful eyes widened instantly: “???” Huh?
Su Yuan was confused and shocked and quickly shook his head. Chu An felt both regretful and happy when he saw this.
It was not difficult to brand the [Ring of Eternity] because the original brand had been removed by that person. When Su Yuan became the owner of the [Ring of Eternity], he did not feel any obstacles.
Su Yuan, feeling relieved, lowered his eyes and put the ring on Chu An's finger.
Although the facts were already in front of him, Chu An felt the cold touch on his fingers and couldn't help but confirm it again, "Did you put it on me...?"
As Chu An spoke, he tried his best to suppress the overwhelming surprise in his heart.
Su Yuan nodded. Although the probability was low, he was still a little worried that the man would attack Chu An in a while.
Su Yuan has not forgotten that Pei Yuanfei's body was taken over by the parasite without anyone noticing.
With this ring helping to lock Chu An's physical condition, Chu An, as his card master, should be safe.
Su Yuan didn't look at Chu An's expression, he just looked at the [Ring of Eternity] in Chu An's hand.
To be on the safe side, he decided to wait until he was about to escape successfully before trying to take off the ring.
As Chu An's body stiffened, not only was the blood circulation in his body extremely abnormal, but his heart in his chest was also about to fly away.
He had never imagined that Su Yuan, who was so soft and shy, would be so 'forceful' to encircle him with the ring and announce to everyone that he was superior to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan actually cares about him so much.
Chu An looked at his fingers happily and rubbed them back and forth several times.
He finally became a person of status.
When Chu An looked around, he felt that the fog around him, which should have been very depressing, was not so annoying anymore.
It really proves the old saying that 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'.
It was because the environment they were in seemed very dangerous that Su Yuan was so eager to establish a relationship with him and make him a family man.
Chu An suppressed his increasingly rapid heartbeat.
After all, people with families will always pay more attention to safety and handle events more carefully than those who have nothing, and are more likely to display extraordinary perseverance and potential in critical moments.
Chu An looked at Su Yuan as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world, "Why are you so nice?" Do you really care about and value him so much?
He will definitely make good use of the power of love that Su Yuan has given him!
Su Yuan realized that Chu An really loved to praise him: "?"
Her long eyelashes curled up in confusion. Su Yuan just felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to respond when she heard Chu An's voice again.
"Do you have something to ask me?" Chu An was not talking to Su Yuan, but to a guild member who inadvertently turned his gaze here.
He really just glanced at it. If Chu An hadn't spoken, his eyes would have moved to other guild members: "?"
Su Yuan noticed that the guild members were very confused: "?"
Chu An coughed lightly and said modestly, "Don't be embarrassed. Don't you just want to know how my ring fits so well?"
Guild member: “???” Is it possible that it is not suitable? Will the [Ring of Eternity] automatically adjust to the most suitable size?
Under the dull gazes of the guild members and Su Yuan, Chu An raised his voice and continued to speak, making sure that others nearby could hear him.
"Of course someone helped me put it on." Chu An glanced at Su Yuan with a look of pride, "She is a very gentle, thoughtful and lovely person. No one else can wear it like this. So, don't even think about it. It's impossible for you to have a ring that wears as perfectly as mine."
Su Yuan's pupils slightly widened, and he really dug his toes into the ground: "???"
While Chu An raised his lips under everyone's gaze, he had already thought of the style of the engagement invitation with Su Yuan, where to hold the engagement party, who to invite to attend, and how to show their affection in a seemingly low-key manner.
His performance obviously brought about some changes in the tense atmosphere around them.
But soon, the atmosphere on the scene returned to being heavy again.
A long time has passed since the flare was fired, but nearly half of the people have not returned.
According to their speculation about the area covered by the copy, even the slowest person should have returned.
Something was clearly wrong with these people.
The dangers that their companions might face caused everyone to have more or less anxiety and worry on their faces.
The atmosphere around continued to be heavy.
After looking at each other worriedly, they did not continue to wait for anyone, but made a map of the area covered by the copy based on the existing information.
The copy incident that had occurred in the academy could be considered as experience. During the subsequent investigation, the guild learned from Yan Zhou how he destroyed the copy, and they were prepared to adopt the method Yan Zhou had used before.
However, there is a prerequisite, which is to find the core point of copy cultivation and the place where the power of the copy explodes.
This core point was the location of the [Mirror of Omniscience] in the academy, but here, there is no obvious suspicious direction. The guild members can only infer the core point by sensing the energy surge.
Su Yuan looked at everyone's anxious look and pursed her lips.
Bad things always seem to happen one after another.
Su Yuan heard a slight vibration sound in his ear, and his eardrum trembled instinctively.
"The mark left on the [Listening Ear] has disappeared?" The man who was busy suddenly changed his expression. "What happened? Is there something wrong with the [Listening Ear]?"
The expressions of all guild members turned somewhat ugly.
Even the most dull-witted person would have realized by now that the situation was not simple.
However, they frowned at each other, there was nothing they could do, the area had been blocked, and they could neither contact the outside world nor leave.
For now, they can only deal with this copy first.
Su Yuan's mood was different from theirs. He glanced at Clay quietly without making any expression.
Has Clay succeeded?
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
If Clay had already achieved his goal, then his deal with that person wouldn't be so solid.
in other words--
Klay can choose to tear up this deal.
The changes in [Listening Ear] seemed to give everyone both pressure and motivation, and the core point of cultivating the copy was quickly figured out.
However, their information is limited and there is no way to find it accurately.
Although I have tried my best, I have only found two possible locations, and I need to go there to make further judgments.
In order to resolve the problem here as quickly as possible, this also means that they need to split into two teams and go to these two possible locations respectively.
The guild does not intend to keep any more people here.
The power of the copy has changed, and it is not safe here.
Of the two separate teams, one was led by Clay and the other was led by Chu An.
In the subsequent division, Lu Zhu and Clay were naturally separated, and Lu Zhu was assigned to be with Chu An.
Logically, Su Yuan should have been with Chu An, but he felt that the breakthrough point lay with Clay, so he asked to join Clay's team.
Both Clay and Chu An were very surprised by this.
Su Yuan whispered the reason he had already thought of, "It will be difficult to contact each other after we separate, but we have the bond of cards and card masters, so we can sense each other's positions. If we are in different teams, it will be convenient for us to confirm each other's positions, and it will be easier for us to gather together if any problems arise."
What Su Yuan said was reasonable, but Chu An was obviously still hesitating.
For some reason, Chu An's eyebrows suddenly twitched several times.
The last time Chu An’s eyebrows twitched wildly was when his good friend stepped into the copy that directly led to the other’s death.
The anxious Su Yuan raised the stakes again and said something that softened Chu An's heart to an incredible degree, "I also want to do my best to help you."
The boy, who looked obedient and soft even with a mask on, raised his face, letting the mask outline the arc of his lonely and fragile chin. "We should put the overall situation first, right?"
These words made the hearts of everyone around them tremble.
*
Su Yuan was held in Clay's palm again.
The unfinished building, which has been abandoned for a long time, makes strange creaking noises even when no one steps on it.
But in order not to alert the enemy, everyone tried to keep their voices down when they moved around.
There was no sound of talking, and when they communicated, they only used sign language.
Su Yuan had not received any professional training and could not understand the sign language.
He observed his surroundings carefully.
Su Yuan was originally very panicked because he couldn't return to Chu An's sea of consciousness, but now, Su Yuan suddenly felt that this was also a perfect opportunity for him to escape.
It was not easy to walk in the deserted neighborhood, and it was even more so when it was shrouded in fog with extremely low visibility. Su Yuan tripped slightly by accident, and only thanks to Clay holding his hand did he not stumble.
After Su Yuan stood firm, he found that his fingers were gently pinched.
He looked up and saw Clay saying to him silently, "Why are you a little absent-minded?"
Clay obviously also knew that Su Yuan couldn't understand sign language.
Clay was still acting as usual, he started to mention someone else again, "Is it because Chu An can give you a sense of security?" There was a hint of sour comparison in his words.
Su Yuan blinked and shook his head.
He suddenly remembered something and took off the mask with his free hand.
Su Yuan's face was already very beautiful, and it became even more so after being made red and pink by the mask. Even in the mist, she still exuded a stunning beauty.
Clay's eyes glued to him uncontrollably.
The fragrance that was previously covered by the mask now dissipated, and Clay, who was a little distracted for a moment, almost tripped like Su Yuan just now.
"No." Su Yuan didn't say anything, just mouthed the words.
His eyelashes trembled, and he spoke cautiously, "...I'm just a little flustered."
"What are you so flustered about?" Clay asked with his eyelids drooping, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Could it be that Su Yuan's animal-like sixth sense discovered something wrong?
But it would be bad luck to talk to him, the culprit.
For just a second, Clay was stunned.
The beautiful cards in front of him were so beautiful that even the mist could not diminish their beauty. When he raised his pretty face to look at Clay, Clay felt that the mist made him look unreal.
Su Yuan pursed her rosy lips and said, "I don't know how to face Chu An."
The unexpected answer made Clay ask, 'What's wrong?'
"It's just that he seems to like me. He even called me 'wife' in the meeting this morning." Su Yuan's cheeks flushed all of a sudden. He bit his lip awkwardly. When Su Yuan did these actions, he was naturally a little evasive because of shame. But it was because of this that he was so shocking. When he frowned and uttered the name with difficulty, it made people feel like they were being scratched by a cat. 'Wife.'
Su Yuan's eyelashes fluttered, "Chu An's reaction just now was also very strange."
Clay looked at Su Yuan's red face and his heart skipped a beat.
On the one hand, he felt inexplicably unhappy with Chu An's behavior, but on the other hand, he felt happy because of Su Yuan's somewhat resistant behavior at the moment.
This made Clay's heart feel as if it was brushed by a feather, and every cell in his body seemed to become a little abnormal.
He paused before saying, 'You don't want to be his wife.'
In response to Clay, Su Yuan quickly and decisively said, "Of course not."
My heart suddenly beat faster.
Clay asked again, seemingly casually but actually nervously, "You don't like Chu An."
"Yes." Su Yuan replied, pursing his lips, looking very helpless. "Do you think he will force me to be his wife?"
Clay's eyes became a little strange.
It is very likely that if he were Chu An, he would probably do the same.
Su Yuan's words continued.
"Besides, you also know my situation. I was a card of Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei before. When we had a meeting about the relationship between people and cards today, Chu An had a good chat with Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei." Su Yuan showed his panic and anxiety with true feelings. "Chu An also tried to find someone for Yan Zhou and others."
Su Yuan's face turned pale, his eyelashes fluttered, and there was a hint of fear in his beautiful eyes. "I am now very worried that the three of them will discover the truth."
Su Yuan didn't frown any more, but even so, he still looked very good. 'If they knew that all their cards were mine, things would definitely get very bad, and I would definitely be miserable.'
After hearing this, Clay's eyes became a little subtle.
"So now I'm very worried and I don't know what to do." Su Yuan's curled eyelashes trembled for a long time in panic. He said at a loss, "I feel that as long as it is Chu An's card, my story will definitely be exposed one day."
Clay hid the slight strangeness in his eyes.
He was just about to comfort Su Yuan and tell her that it was okay and that that day would never come, but he paused in the middle of his words.
According to the content of his cooperation with Lu Zhu, Su Yuan's condition didn't seem to have improved much.
When Clay's eyes changed slightly, Su Yuan had already bit her lip and spoke again.
"Clay, help me think about it. If you were Chu An, how would you treat me after you found out about me?" Su Yuan seemed to be making some kind of mental preparation.
After Clay really thought about it, his eyes became a little obscure because of what he was thinking.
But he shook his head, "I don't know what Chu An will do."
However, he was very good at comparison, and then he flattered himself, "But if I were your card master, I would definitely not do anything to you. I have known about your affairs for so long, but I didn't do anything to you, right?"
"Yes, yes." Su Yuan seemed even more frightened, his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Just as Clay was about to wipe Su Yuan's sweat, he heard Su Yuan speak again in a panic, "Then are you willing to be my card master?"
Clay was rarely stunned.
Su Yuan's words can almost be called the most beautiful love words in the world.
Clay almost fainted as he looked at the beautiful card in front of him and said to him, "After I die, I can become a new card. After I die and become a new card, I will come to you to be my card master, okay?"
