The next morning, after Qin Yi gave Mu Fei and Jiang Sile a brief explanation, they set out for the cave. Arriving in front of the cave, Qin Yi and Lu Heng stayed one step behind and watched the two men in front stepping unguarded into the cave.
This was also what Qin Yi and Lu Heng had discussed. They would test with this illusion array first. Seeing the two men fall into the illusion, Lu Heng’s hand grasped the di chen sword behind him, and his whole body was taut, ready to stop the devil from running out and making trouble.
Unexpectedly, before long, Jiang Sile’s forehead began to percolate cold sweat, and he struggled to wake up. He instinctively looked beside him. Seeing Mu Fei still immersed in the illusion, Jiang Sile held Mu Fei’s hand: “Mu Fei!”
Mu Fei shuddered, but he was still completely inside the illusion. He held the back of Jiang Sile’s hands in his palm, and his lips moved slightly as if to utter a name, but he awoke at that moment. Consequently, the word did not come out.
Jiang Sile could clearly see the movement of his lips. Before pronouncing, his lips were closed. It was definitely not a word in his name, but a word like “Pan”. 1
As soon as he snapped out of the illusion, Jiang Sile understood that the cause of all this was the formation. The mysterious voice in the jade card was guiding him. This formation would allow one to see the person or thing that they care most about in their hearts. The illusion for Mu Fei, was it Pan Rongxi?
Mu Fei’s unspoken words and Jiang Sile’s reaction were seen by Lu Heng not far away. Last night Qin Yi told Lu Heng all about Jiang Sile and Mu Fei’s brother.
Lu Heng, being privy to the inside story, inferred at a glance that Mu Fei’s unuttered word was “Mu” rather than “Pan”, while Jiang Sile, who had a knot in his heart, obviously mistook it for “Pan”.
As lovers, even if they loved one another wholeheartedly, without trust, it was difficult to stay beside each other. Lu Heng sighed. The devil in Jiang Sile’s heart was getting stronger and stronger. It’s just that, under current circumstances, it could only act in such a despicable manner, since it was unable to break through. This demon had been lurking in Jiang Sile for a long time, one couldn’t predict when it would explode out.
Lu Heng and Qin Yi looked at each other and acted as planned.
“Yunlan!”
They managed to obtain both Jiang Sile and Mu Fei’s attentions.
Even though Lu Heng’s head was preoccupied, fortunately, Qin Yi’s tactful action brought his attention back to the two people in front. Otherwise their plan would have been punctured in a second. This man’s acting skills was really rusty. Looking at the exaggerated expression on his face, Lu Heng felt no fluctuation in his heart, instead feeling a small urge to laugh.
Fortunately, Lu Heng only needed to maintain a dull expressionless face, otherwise he was afraid of bursting into laughter.
“Fortunately, you’re all right! If you die, I don’t want to live!” Qin Yi continued to perform awkwardly.
Was there something wrong with the TV drama that this person used to watch? Lu Heng was really unable to suppress the impulse to laugh out in his heart.
Qin Yi gauged that he could not perform any more. He simply held Lu Heng in his arms and became silent.
Qin Yi’s last sentence hit Jiang Sile’s most sensitive place in his heart and darkness filled his eyes.
Lu Heng, who had been paying all his attention to Jiang Sile, immediately sensed it. The devil, it was coming out.
Lu Heng saw Jiang Sile stunned in place for a while, and the latter’s lips moved slightly, as if he were talking to someone. Mu Fei, being beside Jiang Sile, had all his attention attracted by Qin Yi, and did not discover anything unusual about him.
“Well done.” Lu Heng tilted his head and spoke softly in Qin Yi’s ear.
However, the other side paid no heed, and tightened his arms around Lu Heng.
Although Lu Heng liked this embrace very much, there were more important things now. Lu Heng mercilessly shoved Qin Yi aside: “You are confused.”
“Is this an attack by a psychic zombie?” Qin Yi put on a surprised expression.
“No, it’s an illusion. We can’t get in without breaking the formation.”
“Formation? What is that? I’ve used my psychic energy to probe it. It’s not very distinct, but it feels like the things inside are important. What should we do if we can’t get in?”
Lu Heng and Qin Yi sang in unison, cooperated with tacit understanding, and their acting felt as real as possible.
Jiang Sile tightly gripped the jade medal in his chest, like grabbing a life-saving straw, pondered for a moment for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
“I know how to get in.” Jiang Sile said.
