Chapter 69: Illusionary Maze
Chapter 69: Illusionary Maze
After entering the door, there is a narrow path with flowers and plants on both sides. It doesn't look like a seldom-used back door.
There was a small courtyard inside. Qingyi led them in first. There were actually some women inside. They became alert as soon as they saw the man coming in.
"Hou Qingyi, men are not allowed to enter here. You haven't suffered enough, right?"
"My dear sisters, please be patient, please be patient. I just brought a few guests here to sit down first, just sit down."
"How can you bring guests here? If they want to sit down, let them sit in the front yard. There is plenty of room."
"It's not easy to come here if you sit in the front yard."
"Then don't sit down, go somewhere else."
"I would like to take it with me, but it's not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate?"
When Qing Yi was arguing with a group of women, Yinuo came over, showed his giant sword, and said, "They are the young lady's guests."
"Miss's guest?"
"It shouldn't be bad."
"Yes, yes, little Prince Ino said so, so it must be true."
"Miss's guests are of course welcome. Please come in and take a rest. Someone will come to lead the way for you later."
Le Zhengli was not polite at all, so the three of them followed him closely. In the end, Qing Yi was stopped, and he was the only one who was stopped.
"They all went in, why can't I go in?"
"They are guests."
"Didn't Yinuo go in?"
"Yino is a child."
"How old are you? Are you still a child?"
Qingyi wanted to find an opportunity to rush in, but was grabbed by two women and thrown out of the yard.
"If you dare to step into this place again, I will chop you off and feed you to the dogs."
"This foot will be fed to you one day."
"Humph, as long as you stop dreaming of coming in, my feet will grow back on your body."
Le Zheng Shui Ling looked around and saw that Qing Yi had indeed not come in. She asked in confusion, "Where is Miss Qing Yi?"
"Of course he was kicked out."
"Kick them out? Why?"
"This is the courtyard where the women live. How can we let that pervert come in here? Here are some tea and fruits. Please help yourself. I'll go and inform Sister Yunxiu to come over."
Le Zhengli didn't consider himself an outsider at all, he just picked up the fruit and started eating. Yinuo was sitting opposite him, and when the others left, he pointed his huge sword at him.
"One more time, and keep them at a distance."
Le Zhengli calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Let's stop here for today. Next time, we'll find an open area and fight for days and nights."
"Today's work is finished today."
As he said that, Yinuo stabbed at him, but Le Zhengli just slightly turned his body to avoid it.
"You are so grown up, why are you still so childish?"
Le Zheng Yuhua looked at him and confirmed that he was indeed no more than a teenager. Le Zhengli noticed his gaze and just glanced at him and smiled.
"Among Le Zheng's peers, he is the only one with such eyes."
The battle-hardened Le Zheng Yuhua saw the difference between him and others, and this difference was also what the young Le Zheng lacked.
The education of Lezheng has strict rules, which determine when people can learn what magic and what skills they can learn. As a result, many young Lezheng now have no ability at all. If they are placed in the greenhouse of Lezheng, they can still live well, but if they leave Lezheng, they will probably die young.
Le Zhengli was different. He had traveled around with his master since he was young. He was not bound by the rules and regulations of Le Zheng, nor was he protected by Le Zheng's greenhouse. His master had taught him magic since he was young, even some magic that was classified as high-level magic in the current Le Zheng rules.
But it is not enough to just learn and master it, you have to know how to use it and use it well. Not to mention how many actual battles he and his master experienced outside and what kind of actual battles they experienced, from the fact that he lived next to the Mu family and often visited the Mu family, we can know that he had actual battles with many people in the Mu family.
Let alone the others, just the young man in front of him named Yinuo, his ability is already very strong, but he has never defeated Le Zhengli once. Looking at the attitudes of others towards him, it is easy to think that his power is terrifying.
"I'm not a pretty girl. If you stare at me like this, I'm afraid people will misunderstand me."
"What's wrong with misunderstanding? Yuhua is just curious, how powerful is Master Uncle Li?"
"You can try."
"Yuhua still has some self-awareness."
"How many years will it take you?"
"If there is no restraint from Le Zheng, Yu Hua will want to give it a try in two years."
Le Zhengli couldn't help but laugh, not out of ridicule but out of anticipation, because he knew that Le Zheng Yuhua could do it.
"Le Zhengli, you are willing to compete with this rookie, but why are you not willing to compete with me?"
"I'm not unwilling."
"Then get up and go out for a competition."
"Just not today."
"Why not?"
"Of course not. They have to go to the banquet."
A girl came in through the door, and although she was dressed differently, they still recognized her.
Le Zheng Shui Ling remembered who she was and immediately ran to her.
"It's you, it seems that what the vendor said is true. I am really grateful for your help yesterday."
"Yesterday? Oh, nothing happened. You are the lady's guests, so it is my duty to help you."
"How did you come?"
"It seems that you don't want to see me, but it's okay. I came here to invite these guests."
Yinuo stood in front of Le Zhengli.
"I still have something to do."
"Is your matter more urgent or is the lady's?"
"you……"
"Yino, the lady is waiting."
Yinuo reluctantly moved aside.
"please."
Watching them leave, Yinuo was very reluctant to let Le Zhengli leave like this, and thought about it in confusion.
"What is Hou Yaoyao planning by transforming into Sister Yunxiu's appearance?"
Why is the person who came the demon who transformed into a cloud embroidery?
Earlier, someone went to report that Le Zheng, Yu Hua and others had arrived at the Mu Mansion, but Yun Xiu was not there. Instead, Yao Yao saw her and stopped her. Knowing this, she took on the job of reporting.
Originally, she was planning to find Yunxiu to tell them about this, but after walking a few steps, she wanted to play a trick on them. So, she disguised herself as Yunxiu and tricked them away. Unexpectedly, Yinuo saw through her plan as soon as she entered the room, but fortunately he didn't tell them.
But she didn't know that it wasn't just Yinuo who saw through her illusion, Le Zhengli could smell her scent from afar. He just wanted to see what she wanted to do, so he followed her obediently.
"The young lady lives far from the front yard. The Mu family is always busy, and the young lady likes quietness. Listen, can you hardly hear the noise from the front yard?"
"It's not only quiet here, but also refreshing. There's a faint floral scent in the air, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful. What are these flowers? I've never seen them before."
"When the master lived in seclusion in Penglai, there were many rare flowers and plants that were not found anywhere else. Some of them were liked by the young lady and some by the lady... so he brought some back, but unfortunately many of them died. This Painted City is not suitable for them after all."
Originally, Le Zheng Shuiling wanted to take some back to Sanyeju to plant some, but when she heard that it was so difficult to plant, she didn't say anything.
"How long will it take before I can see your young lady?" Le Zheng Shui Ling was worried that the other party would misunderstand that she had the same purpose as those people in the front yard, so she quickly explained: "I want to thank her in person for what happened yesterday."
"See that lake over there? The young lady lives in the cottage in the middle of the lake."
It was hard to tell from a distance whether it was a lake, but based on the reflection of sunlight, Le Zheng Yuhua knew there must be water over there.
After hearing this, Le Zheng Shui Ling ran away for a distance in great excitement, then realized that what she had done was inappropriate, and turned back to call them.
"Look at me, I'm too happy. You should hurry up too."
Yaoyao looked around, slowed down her pace, and walked behind them. She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, which was seen by Le Zhengli, who turned his face away out of guilt.
"you……"
I wanted to call out to them, but it was too late. I had to jump back a step to avoid being trapped by the barrier.
"Miss Yaoyao, you should change back."
Yaoyao waved her hand to dispel her own illusion.
"As expected of you, you are Le Zhengli, but I don't understand. You discovered me from the beginning, why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought it was something fun, so I followed you without saying a word, but I didn't expect you to use the illusion puzzle against us."
Le Zhengli's tone turned serious.
"I don't want to deal with you. I just need to go to Xin'er and pass the illusion. If you can't even deal with the illusion, how can you save the world?"
"They are just apprentice Taoist priests in Lezheng. They are not valued in Lezheng. They have magical powers but do not know magic. They are just stronger than ordinary people. How can they survive this illusion? Don't forget the reason why you set up the illusion. In order to protect Shui Jing, you have prepared to kill. Even if my master were alive, he would not be able to survive the illusion of the world's most solemn and killing array, let alone the three of them."
Yaoyao felt a little flustered by what she said.
"No, our illusion puzzles always leave room for maneuver."
"The margin is for mortals without magical powers, and survival is for those with abilities. Between the two, there is only one way to die, and they happen to be that way."
"I, I don't know. I really don't know."
"Then why don't you quickly untie this formation?"
"The formation has been activated, I can't stop it... I, I'm going to find Yun Xiu."
