100. Agency
I am who I am…
Chu Yunqing wanted to say this, but he knew it wouldn't work. Even if he said it, it would be useless because others wouldn't believe it.
He subconsciously looked at Ai Xiaozhou, who also looked over quietly, his eyes blinking like stars in the night.
"Okay, who's going to ask?" Chu Yunqing said nonchalantly.
"Actually, we don't even know you, so you took advantage." Luo Qianqian said.
Chu Yunqing did not comment.
"Then let me ask." Luo Qianqian said.
Lu Shaoqing and others had no objection, but in fact, even though they saw Chu Yunqing's body-protecting golden light in the cave, they didn't take it too seriously.
Even if ordinary Jianghu people have some status, they are not as good as those who come from a sect. In terms of heritage and foundation, they are far behind.
Luo Qianqian tapped her chin with her finger, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Chu Yunqing's chest.
"You've just put your hand in your arms. What's hidden there?" she asked.
Chu Yunqing gave her a somewhat thoughtful look but said nothing.
"Miss Ai knows, right?" Luo Qianqian looked at Ai Xiaozhou.
Ai Xiaozhou smiled, then shook his head, "Actually, I'm not very familiar with him, and I don't know what's in his arms. Otherwise, you'd better change the question."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Lingzheng said at this time, "Since everyone doesn't know, let's expose it, whether it is a real person or an illusion, so that we can see what it is."
Although the look he looked at Chu Yunqing was calm, his tone was a bit aggressive.
Lu Shaoqing and others looked over with some curiosity.
Ai Xiaozhou frowned.
Chu Yunqing's eyes were dull, and he just smiled when he heard this, "Are you sure you want to see it?"
What he said at this time was 'you', which meant only Xie Lingzheng.
Luo Qianqian subconsciously wanted to speak, but Xie Lingzheng stopped her with her eyes.
"This person was extremely calm all the way. If he wasn't confident in his own abilities, he would never be so calm." He secretly transmitted a message: "He is the person we need to be wary of most."
Luo Qianqian swallowed back what she originally wanted to say.
On the opposite side, Chu Yunqing's hand had slowly been taken out of his arms.
For a moment, everyone in the room, including Ai Xiaozhou, looked over and couldn't take their eyes away.
Chu Yunqing had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.
He didn't show disdain, but with a chuckle, he finally took out his hand and spread it towards everyone.
A handful of sugar.
Everyone was stunned.
Chu Yunqing tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it in his mouth.
"What do you mean?" Xie Lingzheng was a little angry, "Are you kidding me?"
Sugar is not something that ordinary people can afford, especially this kind of sugar wrapped in paper, the price is calculated in taels. But to Chu Yunqing, this is certainly nothing. At this time, using sugar to cover up is really a big deal.
Like playing tricks on people.
Chu Yunqing chewed the candy in his mouth, feeling the sweetness coming from his taste buds. He was so beautiful that he wanted to yawn and find a soft place to lie down and sleep.
Because he was a small assistant, he always kept a bag of candy with him. He had really gained strength just now. He felt a little weak, so he wanted to replenish his energy.
I didn't expect these people's reaction to be so big.
"Where do you start talking about this?" Chu Yunqing asked doubtfully: "I eat sweets when I'm hungry, and I eat sweets when I'm in a bad mood. I have this habit, isn't it okay?"
Hearing this, Xie Lingzheng glanced at Zhi Honghu imperceptibly.
Zhi Honghu was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said: "Gang Leader Chu, this would be meaningless."
Chu Yunqing asked back: "Then what do you mean by your words? Do you know what I have in my arms? If that's the case, why are you asking me?"
Zhi Honghu stopped talking.
Over there, Lu Shaoqing had already figured out that the co-authors were Zhi Honghu and Xie Lingzheng. They had gotten together at some point, and now they were targeting this person named Chu.
Although he didn't know why, he was happy to see this.
"Anything else you want to ask?" Chu Yunqing asked.
Xie Lingzheng wanted to say something else, but Luo Qianqian had already spoken, "It was really unexpected when Gang Leader Chu took out the candy."
Just when Chu Yunqing was about to say something sarcastic, Ai Xiaozhou suddenly raised his head and looked somewhere.
"Flaw!" Her eyes moved.
"What?" Several people were stunned.
But Xie Lingzheng's expression changed slightly.
Ai Xiaozhou had already tapped the treasure box on his back, and a moon-shaped short blade suddenly shot out.
Luo Qianqian's eyes darkened, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Lingzheng beside her, who also had a gloomy look on his face.
Like the sound of gold and stone colliding, the palm-sized short moon-arc blade ejected a string of sparks, then spun around and flew back again.
Ai Xiaozhou sent the treasure box forward, opened and closed the mechanism, and bit the boomerang again.
Chu Yunqing was curious. He had seen Ying Tianxiao use the steel rope before. After collecting it, he had not studied it. Now it seems that this is really a very convenient treasure.
And something even more surprising happened. The long, dark passage in front of him actually faded away like the dusk.
The light of the night pearl was still on, but the scene in front of everyone suddenly changed.
It was still the same cave, with gurgling spring water still emerging from the pool, but the chessboard under the chain in the center was smashed into the water, and there were broken pillars.
There was no poisonous miasma, no stone steps leading to the water, and no passage. Even the moisture and water vapor that everyone felt when they breathed seemed to be an illusion.
The air is a bit stuffy, the kind of airtight stuffiness.
"What's going on?" Ke Fang opened his mouth with a dull look on his face.
"This is the formation." Ai Xiaozhou said and glanced at Xie Lingzheng, who had an incomprehensible expression.
"Have we been circling around this pool with our feelings?" Ke Fang said speechlessly.
Wen Ting wondered: "But wasn't the previous mechanism broken? Why is there still a phantom formation?"
No one said anything about this.
Although there are all young people in the field, it is easy to be out of touch with the world after being in the sect for a long time, but to be selected by the sect, in addition to talent, the character must also pass the test.
Opportunities are in front of you. In fact, you only need to ask yourself what you are thinking about what other people are thinking.
At the moment, everyone was silent, maintaining a strange and calm tacit understanding.
In front of you, the cave is still the same cave. It’s hard to say whether there is anything less or less, but if there is something more, you can definitely see it at a glance.
For example, on one side of the stone wall, there was an iron ring exposed by the Moon Arc short blade attack just now.
"That position..." Lu Shaoqing was suddenly stunned.
He had been in close contact with the chessboard before and struggled with it for a long time. He knew the position of every chess piece clearly.
At this time, the place where the iron ring was exposed corresponded to what he had thought before, where Heizi's first move should fall, which was also the opportunity for the black dragon to take over the white dragon.
"White Dragon is the king, that's it." He suddenly realized, and was a little annoyed.
Everyone understood that the iron ring could be illuminated by falling sunspots. If this had been done earlier, they would not have encountered the phantom formation.
Luo Qianqian and others subconsciously looked at Chu Yunqing.
Chu's face turned red, but he was thick-skinned and showed no expression.
Ai Xiaozhou shook his head, this was just a guess.
If it were true, Chu Yunqing was wrong to remove the chessboard just now. It should have been a big evil coming from the formation, rather than an illusory formation that was painless and more like someone had tampered with it.
Then, they may not be able to stand here unharmed and think too much.
…
At this time, Ke Fang took the initiative and pulled the iron ring, which actually pulled out the iron chain behind it.
His face suddenly turned red, his veins bulged, and he stretched his arms outwards.
"It's a waste of effort." Wen Ting sneered, "This is a common machine door lock. Yours has an open lock and a hidden stake. You need to pull both of them together."
Ke Fang couldn't help but feel shocked and felt that his efforts were in vain.
Lu Shaoqing suddenly thought of something, tiptoed and stepped on the chessboard base in the center of the pool.
He brushed away the debris from the broken pillar, and sure enough he saw another iron ring underneath.
If the man named Chu hadn't broken the mechanism, the iron ring would still be melted into the base. Lu Shaoqing thought to himself, turned around and said: "Gang leader Chu, there is another iron ring here, please come and help me."
