She chose to return to her master.
"See that cherry blossom forest? She is in the small wooden house behind the forest!" Yan Mingchi turned his head and looked at the cherry blossom forest at the bottom of the mountain below the pavilion.
Yue Lanxiu couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction Yan Mingchi was looking. There was indeed a charming yet strange cherry blossom forest.
Why is it strange? Because its layout is strange. It looks messy, yet it feels closely connected.
While he was thinking, he heard Yan Mingchi say again, "Why don't you play a game of chess with me first? I think you're a good opponent! If you die soon, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
I don't understand why he suddenly suggested playing chess. Maybe he did it on a whim, or maybe he did it on purpose to discourage him, thinking that he would definitely die in that cherry blossom forest!
"If you still welcome me in the future, I will definitely accompany you!" Yue Lanxiu retorted that he would not die so easily!
"It's Go, you know how to play it, right?" Yan Mingchi gave him a meaningful smile, as if to say that if you don't know how to play it, you're dead!
"I know a little bit." Yue Lanxiu said modestly.
"Look at that cherry blossom forest for a little longer. You may never see such a beautiful view again!"
His gaze returned to the cherry blossom forest, and Yue Lanxiu wondered if it was a maze.
Just as I was about to ask a few questions, I turned around and Yan Mingchi was gone, but I could still hear his voice in my ears.
Yue Lanxiu did not leave immediately until he had deeply imprinted the cherry blossom forest at the foot of the mountain in his mind.
This cherry blossom forest was indeed a maze as Yue Lanxiu had expected, but this maze was even more peculiar and dangerous, filled with traps and hidden weapons everywhere!
When you are about to pass through a certain road, the surrounding trees will move towards you and block you. If you force your way through, the trees will drop leaves as sharp as knives!
To say it was sprinkled was too gentle; to say it was fired with the purpose of penetrating the □□ was more appropriate!
If your eyes are not flexible enough, your body is not agile enough, and your movements are not quick enough, you will definitely become a hedgehog with leaves all over your body!
Yue Lanxiu's arm was accidentally slashed by several knives, which directly cut through his clothes and oozed blood. Wow, it's sharp! Are the blades made of leaves?
Only by retreating and no longer moving forward will the trees stop attacking and return to their original positions.
He then tried several more routes, but the same thing happened every time! It was impossible to move forward! Although each route was a good way, it was a dead end!
Yue Lanxiu stopped where he was, not daring to act rashly for the time being.
"So this is a cherry blossom forest that can throw knives?" Yue Lanxiu was not afraid, but felt extremely amused.
But I really have no idea at the moment!
Time passed by minute by minute, but he remained in the same place, unable to understand the pattern for a moment!
No wonder Yan Mingchi looked like you’d hardly live to see tomorrow!
No wonder he was asked if he wanted to play a game of chess first. It was because he was sure that he would not be able to rescue Shui Wulian alive!
Why not go play chess with Yan Mingchi now, and explore the secrets of this cherry blossom forest at the same time!
What game did Yan Mingchi mention? Go?
Go! In a flash, an idea suddenly popped into my mind!
Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that the layout of this forest really looks like a chess game!
In Go, there are two types of chess pieces, black and white. But if you think about it carefully, this cherry blossom forest happens to have only two colors, red and white. Do these represent the black and white chess pieces respectively?
Thinking back, the trees he had just attacked were all blooming pink cherry blossoms. Does this mean they were enemy pawns? And his pawns were the trees with white cherry blossoms? Does this mean he'd be safe as long as he stayed near the white cherry blossoms?
From what I could tell, the number of white cherries was significantly smaller than the number of red cherries, and most of them were surrounded by them! This game seemed to be a dead end! He hadn't even made a move yet, and he was surrounded, with no way out!
But it's just the scene before our eyes.
Although there are few white cherry trees, they are spread throughout the entire cherry forest. If his guess is correct, he can pass through the cherry forest smoothly by following the white cherry trees. The current problem is how to find those related white cherry trees.
Fortunately, the image of the entire cherry blossom forest already existed in his mind! He had a rough idea of where the white cherry blossoms were...
Yue Lanxiu's thin lips showed a hint of a smile, which appeared on the screen and caught Yan Mingchi's eyes.
This kid is his junior fellow apprentice, so he is naturally not stupid and will naturally understand the hint he just gave.
Play a game of Go with him, but this game is unusual, with trees as chess pieces!
He is the main controller, and the opponent can only play according to the chess game he set. There is no way out, it's just difficult to find a way out!
Yan Mingchi sat on a soft leather sofa that looked very comfortable at first glance, drinking fragrant black tea in one hand and controlling something with a remote control in the other!
The phone on the coffee table rang. Yan Mingchi put down his teacup and picked it up casually. The voice on the phone said, Chao Rirou wants to see you!
His eyes widened slightly, a bit more fierce in them, and he said solemnly, "Let her in."
After much deliberation, even though she was unwilling, Chao Rirou still chose to return to Yan Mingchi.
Sure enough, when I came back here, I found news about that idiot Yue Lanxiu!
I heard that he went to the cherry blossom forest to save Mizuki Rei!
A bitter feeling had been swirling in her heart for a long time, but more of it was worry! She was afraid that she would never see that idiot again!
So she didn't dare to delay for a second and ran back to Yan Mingchi, fearing that if she was too late she would only see his cold corpse!
Arriving at the door, Chao Rirou took a deep breath and said goodbye to the good time that she had stolen. From then on, she was Yan Mingchi's apprentice Chao Rirou, and no longer Yue Lanxiu's wife Chanel!
She knocked on the door with a determined look on her face, and then the authoritative voice came from inside, "Come in."
Seeing Zhao Rirou pushing the door open, Yan Mingchi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You've become ugly! Did you have plastic surgery?"
Asahirou wondered if he really didn't know what had happened to her, or if he was pretending to know nothing just to test her?
His demeanor was as emotionless as ever, and she couldn't tell what he really meant!
But there was nothing in this world that could arouse his interest.
"It's my incompetence that made Master see me like this!" Chao Rirou succinctly recounted her recent experiences.
Of course she wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the whole truth.
She only said that after being framed by Mizuki Rei, although she didn't die, she lost her memory. So she always thought she was Chanel and lived under that identity! It was only recently that she gradually remembered that she was actually Asahi Rou!
"After I remembered everything, I came to you as soon as possible!" To show her unchanged heart, her tone was extremely sincere.
"Are there any ways for me to get you back to your body?" Unlike most people who were shocked, Yan Mingchi said without surprise.
Zhao Rirou was stunned, because she hadn't really thought about this question. She was completely focused on saving Yue Lanxiu. And she didn't think anyone could return her to her original body! No matter how powerful Yan Mingchi was, he wasn't a god after all!
"Isn't it because of this? Then why did you come here in such a hurry?" Yan Mingchi's eyes were indifferent, but Chao Rirou always felt that there was a sense of judgment in them.
Was she really that obvious? She was anxious, but she was trying not to show it.
Or maybe Yan Mingchi already knew why she came! After all, he had captured Shui Wulian, and Shui Wulian would definitely add fuel to the fire and tell him some nonsense!
"I heard that Yue Lanxiu is here with you!" She deliberately showed an angry expression.
"Are you referring to him?" Yan Mingchi gestured for her to look at the TV screen.
Looking at the familiar and agile figure in the cherry blossom forest, Chao Rirou felt a warm current rushing to her eyes. She didn't know what was wrong with her, why her tears were flowing out so easily, and why her nose was sore for no reason... She took a lot of effort to control her emotions.
Fortunately, Yan Mingchi had no time to pay attention to her. His attention was completely focused on Yue Lanxiu. "It seems that the cherry blossom forest can no longer contain him. To be able to understand the secrets of the cherry blossom forest, it can be seen that he is extraordinary in both skills and intelligence. Especially his amazing memory and fearlessness! Although I don't want to admit it, you are not as good as him!"
Asahirou was secretly relieved, as long as he was okay!
Secretly observing Yan Mingchi's expression, his usually calm dark eyes now held a rare expression of admiration.
"Hmph!" Chao Rirou pretended to be disdainful. "Master, how will you deal with him?" "Use him for your own use, or get rid of him to prevent future trouble?" Neither of these was what Chao Rirou wanted to see!
"What do you think I should do?" Yan Mingchi gave him a mysterious look.
"Disciple doesn't dare to make decisions on his own. I only ask Master for one favor. If you want to kill him, please give me this chance. I once secretly vowed to kill him with my own hands!" Zhao Rirou gritted her teeth and expressed hatred in such a way that anyone who saw it would think that she and Yue Lanxiu had an irreconcilable feud!
"Oh? I heard that you have married him and are pregnant with his child." Yan Mingchi picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, then poured another pot.
Asahi lowered her head slightly, always looking respectful. Although she didn't look into his eyes, she could feel the gaze that pierced her heart. Generally, no one would dare to lie under such a gaze.
"Those were all things that happened when my disciple lost his memory. I became pregnant because he raped me while I was unconscious. Although he was later forced to marry me by my parents, it couldn't change his evil behavior of abandoning me after having sex! Being abused by such a man is a lifelong shame. I can't vent my hatred unless I kill him!" Chao Rirou had to take on the task of killing Yue Lanxiu. Only if Yan Mingchi sent her to kill Yue Lanxiu could she, in disguise, rescue him and leave here! As for the future, we'll talk about it later! Getting out of here alive was already difficult.
Yan Mingchi frowned slightly, his expression disapproving. Was that brat the kind of person he was? Would his perfect junior brother hand over such a person?
While he was thinking, his cell phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Yan Mingchi quickly answered the call.
"Yeah?!"
"very good!!"
Although they were just two short words, Asahiro could hear the excitement in his voice.
Chao Rirou looked at Yan Mingchi in confusion. Although she didn't know what he was talking about, she could see that he cared about this matter very much, so much so that he had forgotten everything else.
"I'll be there right away!" Yan Mingchi hung up the phone, stood up and walked out, looking really anxious.
Just when Zhao Rirou was about to ask him how to deal with Yue Lanxiu, he spoke, "Since you are so insistent, I can't let you down! Killing Yue Lanxiu and Shui Wulian is up to you! I have something important to attend to, so I need to leave here for a while!"
"Master, are you going on a long journey?" No one answered her. Judging from Yan Mingchi's anxious look, he had no time to pay attention to her.
His eyes were filled with anticipation, his face brimming with joy. What could have made him so happy and excited? This was the first time she had seen such emotion in Yan Mingchi, and the first time she had seen him let his emotions show so openly!
However, it is the best thing for her that Yan Mingchi is going on a long journey at this critical moment!
Her gaze returned to the screen, and her gloomy look expressed her helplessness and reluctance. From now on, they had to go their separate ways!
