Whether or not they can be placed under house arrest is not up to them to decide.
Rong Yu knelt before a square table, on which a pot of tea had already been brewed, its fragrant aroma soothing and refreshing.
Geng Qi's mouth watered immediately, and he sat down opposite him: "What kind of tea is this?"
"Jingting Green Snow".
He poured a glass and handed it to Geng Qi, who took it, took a sip, and said, "Aren't you going to ask me what I found out?"
Rong Yu smiled faintly, looked up, and silently waited for him to continue.
An absolute confidence, as if saying to him: You will definitely tell me.
Two words flashed through Geng Qi's mind: Deserves a beating!
But he wasn't sure if he could win. After a moment of staring at each other, he gave up, waved his hand, and said, "Never mind, do you have any paper or pen?"
Cultivators often practice calligraphy and painting in their spare time, so the place arranged for Rong Yu naturally wouldn't lack the Four Treasures of the Study. Geng Qi took the items, spread the Xuan paper on the table, and began to write according to the pattern he had seen before.
“I followed them to a cave. The layout of the cave was very similar to the secret chamber we found in Gefeng Town, and even more ingenious. This is part of the magic array we saw on the stone platform. There were too many people inside, so I didn’t go in, but I saw this much.”
A fragmented battle formation gradually took shape on the drawing. Geng Qi stopped writing, thought for a moment, and then added, "Yang Wei has come back to life."
Rong Yu looked at the drawings in his hand, took the pen from him, paused for a moment, and then began to complete his incomplete drawing, saying as he wrote, "Do you believe in resurrection?"
Geng Qi pondered for a moment: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I certainly wouldn't have believed it."
Even if you see it with your own eyes, what you see may not be the truth.
He suddenly remembered Yang Wei's body, which had never decayed. Logically speaking, even if there was a way to preserve the body from decay, after several days, the soul could not return to the body.
If a person's three souls and seven spirits leave the body and cannot return within half an hour, the person will surely die. There is absolutely no way to bring the dead back to life unless the person's soul has returned within half an hour!
"After Yang Wei's body was brought back to the village head's office, was anyone disturbed?"
Rong Yu continued writing, "No."
"..."
So the body has been in the hands of the Yandan Sect all along.
Recalling Yang Wei's attitude towards Yang Tianhui after waking up in the cave, which was completely reversed from their first encounter in Gefeng Town, Geng Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slumped onto the square table with a frustrated look: "We really were played for a fool."
Rong Yu glanced at him briefly, her lips slightly pursed.
The failure to summon the soul is because the soul has left the body, but there is another possibility: someone is deliberately preventing the soul from returning to the body.
Yang Tianhui wanted to save Yang Wei's life and prevent his soul from wandering too far. However, he also needed to use the Soul Summoning Technique to stop the soul from returning to the body, which was something that a Golden Core cultivator could not possibly do.
He's been hiding his true strength from the very beginning!
And people were with them all day long, yet they didn't notice at all.
Geng Qi couldn't help but look up. He had been so careless in his actions that he hadn't noticed anything. But what about the person in front of him? Had Rong Yu not noticed anything either?
The person opposite him sat upright drawing a formation diagram. He leaned back and looked up, seeing the person's extremely focused and serious face. Because his eyes were lowered, his clear, elfin eyes were covered by his eyelids, making his eyelashes appear even longer and thicker. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips slightly pursed, and his face was like flawless white jade, perfectly impeccable.
He was lost in thought for a moment when the man suddenly looked up, their eyes met, and Geng Qi's body stiffened.
Rong Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
"..." Beauty can be a trap!
Geng Qi cursed inwardly, then calmly looked away, poured himself a cup of tea, and glanced at the array diagram he was almost finished with. He changed the subject, asking, "What kind of array is this?"
Rong Yu then lowered his head, "It resembles a soul-capturing beauty, but there are some differences."
Soul-Seizing and Soul-Stealing is a spiritual array. Anyone who enters the array will have their soul separated from their body. However, this array is essentially a killing array. The Bone Rock Cave is a place where their own people walk around. Why would they set up such an array?
Or was it the "slight difference" that Rong Yu mentioned that changed the effectiveness of the formation?
He couldn't understand any of this. Seeing Rong Yu stop writing, he held up a cup of tea and said, "I saw Su Mo'er in the cave."
Rong Yu asked, "How is she?"
Geng Qi thought for a moment and said, "About the same as you."
They get to eat and stay well—the kind of treatment only the main characters get.
"That's good."
He didn't react much. Geng Qi blinked and said, "Aren't you going to save her?"
Rong Yu: "It's not convenient to rescue people right now."
"..."
He didn't even look up, only staring at the array diagram in his hand. Geng Qi stared at him for a long time, tilting his head in confusion.
I always felt that the male lead was a bit too cold towards the female lead.
Assuming he was deep in thought about the changes in the array diagram, Geng Qi considerately stopped disturbing him, and instead leaned on the table, sipping his tea slowly. Gradually, his head began to spin and his eyelids started to droop.
When Rong Yu looked up from the blueprints, the person drinking tea opposite him was already fast asleep, head tilted to one side, clutching their teacup.
Quietly approaching the tea table, Rong Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was completely unprepared, and he didn't need to be too wary either. When Rong Yu reached out, the phoenix bone whip that had been sleeping in his sleeve had already awakened, with a small section emerging from the sleeve and facing the approaching person, as if confronting him. After a while, it slowly retracted.
Rong Yu smiled, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and lifted him up by the knees with the other, carrying him horizontally through the layers of gauze curtains and disappearing into the tea room.
Geng Qi slept soundly until the moon rose high in the sky, when he finally woke up. At the same time, in an inn in Ge Feng Town, Qing Han had just fallen asleep when several figures appeared outside the inn and surrounded his room.
