C490 Archaeopterygium (1/2)
”Don't say that you don't know, even I am surprised.” Never would he have thought that this mechanism would actually be located in such a place. I'm afraid we'll be in trouble if we find them. ” White Mirrorjade frowned.
At this moment, they were standing outside of the courtyard. There was no one guarding the entrance to the courtyard. But somehow, it made him feel fear.
”So, you don't know how to continue?” Mu Ru Yue frowned.
”Understood, but this young master feels as if someone else's plan has always been in the works.” The situation right now is truly like catching a turtle in a jar. ” White Mirrorjade said, a bit dissatisfied.
What he hated the most was being schemed against.
And now?
It gave him the feeling that he had always been plotted against, that he couldn't even escape. How could this not make him angry?
Mu Ru Yue, on the other hand, was much calmer. ”That guy Qing Xun is always cunning. He has always planned everything out for the worst. It is normal for him to have plans here. What we need to do is not to not be discovered, but rather, even if we are to be discovered, we need to reveal the matters of Peony City. Right now.
So, as long as you find the chessboard and help me keep those people in check while I completely open the mechanism, then it's over. After that, we just have to wait for rescue during the chaos in Peony City. ”
What Murong Yue said caused both Jun Ruo and White Mirrorjade to furrow their eyebrows. White Mirrorjade hated imperfect plans. As for Jun Ruo, she didn't think that Murong Yue would actually think of this. In her eyes, there was no such thing as a failure.
And why was she so confident?
”If you do not believe me, then let this matter rest.” Seeing that the two of them were hesitating, Mu Ru Yue directly said.
”Let it go?” The two of them were stunned.
”That's right. After we give up, this wangfei will immediately return to the capital. At that time, the matters in Peony City will have nothing to do with me.”
Mu Ru Yue replied calmly. Her gaze landed on the two of them as she waited for their reply. White Mirrorjade didn't care about Murong Yue's return, but he cared about that treasure map. With Mu Ru Yue's personality, she probably wouldn't have another chance to deal with this treasure map.
His father was not interested in the Heaven Gate, so it was impossible for him to use the Pill King Valley's resources to find a complete treasure map, because that would bring Pill King Valley unnecessary trouble. Thinking this, White Mirrorjade smiled. ”This Young Master will listen to wangfei's wishes this time. After all, this Young Master wants something in the hands of the wangfei.”
White Mirrorjade's attitude was extremely clear. Then, both of their gazes landed on Jun Ru.
Even though Jun Mo Xie was acting like this, he still had a complex feeling in his heart. He was the one who had prepared himself for this sacrifice, but at this point, he hesitated. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of failure.
After being forced into a corner by two people, Jun Ruo closed his eyes and lightly said, ”Alright, I will naturally listen to wangfei's wishes. After all, I was the one who initiated this event. If the Princess left, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone as brave as her.
Besides, I won't have another chance. Rather than waiting for the next one, we might as well bet everything we have right now. ”
After they agreed, Mu Ru Yue then smiled in satisfaction. ”Alright, let's go.”
”Dog slave, lead the way.” White Mirrorjade ordered.
Then, under the lead of the black-clothed old man, they walked inside. There wasn't a single guard in the Mayor's mansion. However, because there was no one around, everyone was left feeling flustered.
This was because Qing Xun was not the type of person who had no backup. It was unknown when those people would rush out from the shadows to kill them.
Although this place was similar to the City Lord's Mansion, no one could find anything when it came to chess board. They could only search through the rooms one by one. Along the way, they didn't see a single person, as if this was an empty house.
They searched for about two hours before they finally reached the last place in the mansion. There was a patch of peach blossoms planted here. When Mu Ru Yue saw this, her expression became complicated. This was because the peach blossoms here were the same as the Peach Blossom Maze Formation he had seen at the Blacksmith God's Gate.
”Follow me. This is the Peach Blossom Array. ” After Mu Ru Yue said that, she entered the Peach Blossom Forest. The remaining three people quickly followed behind her. They weren't ordinary people. They had all heard of the terrifying Peach Blossom Array before.
