I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 174 1.11 19 The Hall of Amnesia
Mu Yegui gripped the golden key tightly in his hand, his cool, silver eyes fixed on the bright, clear moonlight above him.

His cold, dull silver eyes were deep and calm, unable to reflect the existence of anything.

Bathed in moonlight, a gentle breeze lifted the black veil of her skirt, and the starlight seemed to paint the Milky Way on her dress. With every step she took, she could appreciate a different and breathtaking view, vast and magnificent yet full of mystery.

She vaguely remembered the location of the map on the vase; the East Tower could be seen from the third room of the main building.

but……

Isn't this going a bit too far?

Mu Yegui stared coldly at the soldiers in front of him, his face still expressionless, while his other hand had already reached for the hilt of the short sword at his waist.

Behind her lay the bodies of nearly a dozen soldiers, their blood staining the ground crimson. Yet, her beautiful dress remained untouched by blood, so clean it was hard to believe she had done it.

"Don't sleep, okay?! Dao Lin!" Shui Qi grabbed Dao Lin, his brows furrowed. He couldn't just abandon Dao Lin in this situation. Firstly, Dao Lin was one of the few talented individuals, and secondly, he needed to borrow Dao Lin's royal props.

"Hmm..." Dao Lin responded, his eyes still closed and showing no signs of waking up.

His narrow blue eyes held a hint of seriousness; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Or was this ball a ruse, a trap to wipe them all out?
“Jealousy was plotting against Pride, trying to get something from him. But it couldn’t have been him doing it himself. Judging from Pride’s expression, Jealousy’s hand had already reached out to him. He tried to stop it, but Jealousy blocked his way. Just as the two were about to fight, someone appeared and made the suggestion. However, this person’s purpose was not to mediate the fight. His position was completely on Jealousy’s side.”

Dao Lin yawned, his icy blue eyes brimming with tears, and analyzed wearily.

"So you heard everything that just happened, right?" Shui Qi paused slightly, then released her hand with a look of disdain.

"Most of them." Dao Lin rubbed his eyes and kept yawning, clearly still in a half-asleep state.

Shui Qi frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you so sleepy? You used to be able to wake up immediately even when you were very sleepy."

"I don't know... I'm just so sleepy... My head is all foggy..." Dao Lin rubbed his head in discomfort and shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

He took a gold pocket watch out of his pocket, but closed it again and put it back in his pocket the instant he opened the cover.

"It's too early..." The cooldown period is seven days, and there's no need for him to turn back time because of a headache.

In fact, he hasn't used the upgraded Crown Prince item yet, for fear that he might accidentally rewind the total time when he tries to turn back the clock.

A clear, gentle voice spoke slowly, "Are you talking about me?"

Ji Qi stood casually in front of the two, fanning himself. His long, ink-black hair was tied up with a simple jade hairpin. He wore a simple white robe embroidered with green bamboo, exuding an elegant and aloof scholarly air.

"You seem somewhat familiar." Ji Qi raised an eyebrow as his dark eyes slowly swept over Dao Lin, who was clutching his head in pain.

"No, I don't know you." Dao Lin shook his head, forcing himself to stay alert as he replied.

Ji Qi didn't care about Daolin's attitude. He just asked to himself, "I just heard you guys talking about me. I wonder if I can listen?"

Shui Qi took a step forward, blocking Ji Qi's gaze from Dao Lin, and said coldly, "I only suggested doing this because it seems you're on the side of jealousy."

"Is that so? But you guessed wrong. I'm not on that damned jealousy's side; I'm neutral. I just want to see the strongest two clash internally, and kill you all while I'm at it." Ji Qi looked at them with a cold smile, his dark eyes flashing with killing intent. "What's the reason? We don't seem to have any connection." Shui Qi really felt this world was strange. It was one thing to start a dungeon at the drop of a hat, but it was also full of dangers.

If they want them dead so badly, then why even create a crown prince?
"Perhaps it's because I don't want to see any crown prince appear. His Majesty is unique in my heart. Not just any mediocre crown prince is qualified to challenge His Majesty, let alone dare to try to replace His Majesty's existence!" Ji Qi's hand, which was waving the fan, paused slightly, and the tips of his fingers, which were twisting the fan ribs, turned white as if he was enduring something.

Enraged, Rong Yi sat on a bench not far away and called out softly, "Teacher, this is not something we can decide."

The word "teacher" completely dispelled Ji Qi's murderous aura, and Ji Qi took a deep breath and put on a smile again.

"I don't want anyone to replace His Majesty, but I can't stop things from happening." His handsome face softened with a hint of tenderness and longing. His beautiful, dark purple phoenix eyes slightly lifted as he looked at Shui Qi and Dao Lin, and he said softly, "I won't attack you, at least not now, so feel free to develop your power. To become king, you must gain the recognition of all of us. Good luck..."

Of course, if that person wasn't His Majesty, he would rather commit suicide than acknowledge anyone else.

"So there are actually three camps, jealousy and arrogance fighting each other, and you benefit from it, is that right, Your Highness Gluttony?" Dao Lin sighed slightly.

"I see. According to the Seven Deadly Sins, the Kingdom of Gourmet Food does indeed fit the description of gluttony." Shui Qi sighed as he looked at the character 'food' on the folding fan in Ji Qi's hand.

The mere mention of the word "teacher" is enough to tell that these two are in cahoots, not to mention that their clothes are similar in style, resembling the royal attire of an interstellar empire.

“You have a grudge against jealousy, but you don’t want to fall out with it at this critical juncture. In other words, the person who helps jealousy has other meanings for you, so you have no choice but to remain neutral, since you don’t want to be enemies with pride.”

Dao Lin suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if he had lost all his strength, and gasped for breath as if he was having some difficulty breathing.

"Are you alright?" Ji Qi frowned slightly, his dark eyes fixed on Dao Lin as he asked.

"Something might have happened..." Dao Lin clutched his heart, his face pale and bloodless, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"That's simply impossible!" Shui Qi asked with a dark face, "Can you help me call a doctor?"

Can I see him?

As he said this, Lanlos slowly walked over.

He chuckled gently, his silver eyes as clear and pure as the sky. He seemed to radiate a holy light, and whatever he said made people believe him without reservation.

This interpersonal relationship is very complex and requires careful consideration.

This is the most complex story about interpersonal relationships that I have written so far, even more complex than the travelogue.

To be precise, everyone had their own agenda and was scheming against each other.

By the way, both Xie Er and Dao Lin are the second male leads in this story, even though Xie Er's screen time is currently less than that of Jealousy.

The reason Ji Qi wanted to kill Dao Lin and the others but didn't was entirely because he couldn't (otherwise, they would still be peacefully talking and would have already taken action). There are hints about this gluttony in the conversation.
