Chapter 126: Discovering the Conspiracy.
Jun Luochuan and Su Yao were like children immersed in a dreamlike paradise, still deeply immersed in the joy of their harvest. Little did they know that some subtle changes, as thin as spider silk, began to quietly make them feel uneasy, like ghosts.
First, the gazes of those around him became strange. Those eyes that were once as friendly as warm sunshine or as envious as dazzling stars now held a hint of evasion, like shadows in the dark night, and a hint of whispered discussion.
Jun Luochuan was incredibly intelligent; his keen insight was as sharp as an eagle's eye. He quickly sensed the subtle atmosphere, as subtle as a sudden chill in the spring breeze. "Su Yao, I feel something is amiss. It's as if an invisible fog is slowly enveloping us." He frowned slightly, his brows resembling two tightly knit mountains, his expression revealing a hint of bewilderment, like a mist.
Su Yao hadn't reacted yet, blinking her large, clear eyes like a lake, looking completely bewildered, like a lost fawn in the forest. "What's wrong? I don't see anything wrong. Are you just imagining things?"
Jun Luochuan glanced at her helplessly, his gaze as if he were looking at an innocent child. "You, you're always so carefree, like a carefree little bird. Haven't you noticed that everyone's way of looking at us has changed lately? There's clearly some unspeakable secret hidden in their eyes."
Su Yao then seemed to wake up from a dream and began to observe carefully. "It seems a bit... Could it be because of those remarkable treasures we obtained in the forbidden area? Those treasures are like dazzling stars, too eye-catching."
Jun Luochuan pondered for a moment, the brief silence like the calm before a storm. "I'm afraid it's more than that. I always feel that there's an invisible hand, like the claws of a demon in the dark, silently manipulating all of this from behind, weaving a huge web of conspiracy."
At the same time, rumors, as hurtful as poisoned arrows, began to reach their ears like a plague.
"I heard that Jun Luochuan's gains in the forbidden area were obtained through cheating. He's nothing but a cunning and deceitful scoundrel."
"The reason Su Yao can stay by Jun Luochuan's side is because of her seductive face, which bewitched Jun Luochuan."
These rumors infuriated Su Yao so much that she stomped her feet, like a volcano about to erupt. "What utter nonsense! It's outrageous! It's blatant slander!"
Jun Luochuan's face also turned as gloomy as a sky covered with dark clouds. "This is no accident. Someone must be up to no good behind the scenes, trying to stir up a storm and drag us into it."
They began to recall recent events, their thoughts like threads weaving through a maze, trying to find clues hidden behind layers of fog.
Su Yao suddenly remembered, "A few days ago I saw Lin Yu sneaking around near us, looking like a sly mouse."
Jun Luochuan's eyes sharpened, his gaze like a cold sword in the night. "Lin Yu? This man has always been narrow-minded and jealous, like a bomb that could explode at any moment. It's very likely that he's the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes, muddying the waters."
Then, they discovered that Ye Xuan's attitude towards Su Yao had become unusually strange, always sarcastic and her words were like roses with thorns.
"And Ye Xuan, the way she looks at me is like she wants to devour me alive, as if I'm her mortal enemy," Su Yao said, her expression full of anger and incomprehension.
Jun Luochuan's doubts deepened, as if he had fallen into a bottomless black hole. "It seems that we have unknowingly fallen into a carefully planned conspiracy, like lambs stepping into a trap."
But they did not panic. Instead, like rocks in a storm, they calmly considered their options and prepared to meet the challenges ahead...
