When you find yourself in a completely unfamiliar, dangerous, and unbelievable environment, after considering all the possibilities, the most unlikely thing becomes the most likely thing to happen in such a place.
The two exchanged a glance, neither moving forward. If this place truly was a ruin, it proved that what the outside world was saying was probably not false. The ruins were indeed preparing to devour the second floor and had already begun invading this place from Cangwu City.
"What should we do?" Fu Ziyi asked.
Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips and remained silent. She was seriously considering what to do now. She couldn't rush forward. They weren't sure if the other party was a good person or a bad person, or even a human. It could be some kind of monster in disguise, since there were quite a few monsters on this mountain.
A moment of silence fell over the air. The dagger in his hand continued to move, expressing its dissatisfaction and protest against Xu Yuehuai, wanting to escape from his grasp.
Since we're already here, we should naturally go and take a look. Xu Yuehuai gave Fu Ziyi a pill, "Eat this, it's an invisibility pill."
Going in is one thing, but you can't skimp on any of the necessary preparations; missing even one could be fatal.
After both of them consumed invisibility pills, they headed in that direction. Bai Ze and the dagger were both stored in Xu Yuehuai's spatial storage. The dagger's movements were rather loud, inevitably attracting attention. Upon returning to the spatial storage, the dagger protested, wandering aimlessly around within the space.
Bai Ze tried to stop it, but couldn't catch up with it at all. Even when she transformed into human form and chased after it from the outside, she still couldn't catch up with the figure in front of her. She was panting and wanted to give up when another fair and slender hand reached out and grabbed the dagger.
Under the suppression, it finally stopped moving. Bai Ze looked at the suddenly appearing boy in front of him with a puzzled expression, sizing him up and down, and slowly said, "You are... Lord Yuan Shui?"
Looking at Yuan Shui, who was a head taller than him, Bai Ze couldn't believe it. Before he went into seclusion, Yuan Shui was a head shorter than him, but now he was taller. Who could bear this?
Bai Ze was on the verge of tears, looking at Yuan Shui in front of him with mixed feelings. He wanted to tell her about the hardships he had endured these past few days, but he didn't know how to say the words.
Yuan Shui had a very aggressive look, with long hair flowing down his back without any headband, giving it a somewhat ethereal feel. He tossed his hair, twirled the dagger in his hand, examined it carefully, and made two sharp chopping sounds. "I thought this thing was some kind of exquisitely made thing."
Bai Ze hadn't forgotten that Yuan Shui had asked Xu Yuehuai to buy this item, so she asked curiously, "What exactly is this? Why does it look so special?"
Yuan Shui paused for a moment, then casually played with the dagger in his hand and said, "It's a little toy made by an old friend. If Xu Yuehuai plans to go to the ruins, having this little toy to find the old friend and exchange a few words will make things much easier."
Bai Ze asked, puzzled, "But since he's an old friend, why can't you just step forward and tell him those things so he can help the master?"
Bai Ze's question hit the nail on the head. Yuan Shui coughed, a hint of guilt in his eyes. He and that old friend were both ancient artifacts. He didn't want to take advantage of the moment to form a contract with a human in order to break free from the seal. Although this human didn't seem weak at the moment, it would still be ridiculed in the world of artifacts!
He doesn't want to be that magical artifact that others laugh at; a magical artifact should be majestic and awe-inspiring!
So Xu Yuehuai was unaware that her child had made her spend five million spirit stones just to save face.
Xu Yuehuai noticed the commotion in the space. When she saw a strange man appear, she was surprised for a moment. After carefully examining the man and confirming that he was Yuan Shui, she could not hide the excitement and joy in her eyes.
It felt like the child I had raised for so long had finally grown up, and all those spiritual herbs and medicines I had consumed had been worthwhile.
When Fu Ziyi saw Xu Yuehuai suddenly start laughing for no apparent reason, he looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if she were an idiot. Xu Yuehuai, of course, had no idea about these things.
They passed through the thin barrier and emerged from it. Suddenly, their eyes were brightened, and the sky instantly turned from night to day. The two of them were stung by the light and raised their hands to shield their eyes from the blinding glare.
The next moment, Xu Yuehuai lowered her hand and looked at the scene in front of her with surprise in her eyes.
She walked around the place and found it to be quite unusual.
The farmers hadn't noticed them yet, and kept bending over, standing up, bending over, standing up, repeating the same action.
If they weren't still chatting, Xu Yuehuai would have almost doubted whether they were real people.
"When will we ever have enough humans? Why do we have to do all this? Can't we just bring a few more people in from outside?" one of the men said discontentedly.
Another woman chimed in, "Isn't that Ying family boy here? If he wants to get out, he has to come up the mountain. Let's wait for him. After he gets out, let him pass on a message to his family to send more people in every month."
"Where did those two lads go?" someone suddenly asked.
Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi exchanged a glance, both understanding the expression in each other's eyes. They could see them!? For a moment, neither of them could believe it.
They hadn't noticed anything unusual on their way up, yet these people in front of them could see them.
This indicates what kind of organization or institution that place is.
"I don't know, I haven't checked, but based on my estimation, it should be soon," was another answer.
“The quality of the people who came this time is quite good. Don’t eat yet, let me study it first before you eat.” Another man held a measuring cup, shook the liquid in the cup, and looked serious and focused.
The others nodded in agreement, and no one argued with this person.
Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi were both startled, realizing something serious from those words. They exchanged a glance; if what they said was true, wouldn't everyone else with Ying Ziping be in danger? Ying Ziping was a member of the Ying family, and he must be fully aware of these matters.
He went to great lengths to get close to them and even offered some support as they went up the mountain. Xu Yuehuai simply couldn't believe that this person was alright.
Fu Ziyi had clearly thought of these things as well. The two of them stood still, not moving. The current situation was not so favorable for them.
