[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Ximen Chuxue and Lin Xian'er's perspective was very subtle, and they could just see Ye Gucheng's profile clearly. In fact, Ye Gucheng could have spotted them if he had just turned around, but the Lord of Baiyun City had a proper demeanor and would never look around when standing. There was also a bottle of wine in front of the two of them, which just blocked out the residual light.

It is not a fair thing to spy on other people's secrets, but this is just a coincidence. If they leave the table now and avoid it, it would seem that they are guilty. So just sit here and take a look.

Ye Gucheng had no expression on his face and stood straight, but anyone who knew him a little could see that he was getting very impatient. Fortunately, the person he was waiting for arrived very quickly.

He was a very tall and strong man, more than nine feet tall, not only standing out from the crowd, but also nearly half a head taller than Ye Gucheng. He had short hair, and was dressed elegantly, with a great demeanor. When he walked towards Ye Gucheng, there was a faint smile on his face.

Lin Xian'er whispered, "This is definitely not the first time they have met."

Ximen Chuxue agreed with her.

Because when he saw him coming over, Ye Gucheng was obviously enduring something. The glass window was wiped very clean, and from this distance one could even see the blue veins on the back of his hand.

His whole body must have been tense, so Ximen Chuxue would not be surprised even if he drew his sword and stabbed him to death the next moment.

Two people were talking, but the glass windows were too soundproof. Even though we were so close, I couldn't hear a word.

Before they could say a few words, the man suddenly made a move. With a playful smile, he pressed Ye Gucheng's shoulder and pushed him against the glass window. Although no "bang" was heard, Ximen Chuxue and Lin Xian'er could not help but jump back at the same time. Even the subtle expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

There was only a glass separating them from Ye Gucheng, and it was like they were sitting in a special seat, taking in everything… They were too close, and had a strong sense of participation.

It's just embarrassing.

More embarrassing things are yet to come.

Half of the man's arm was also leaning on the window, like a wall that was collapsing. Ye Gucheng was trapped inside. The two men were very close to each other and seemed to have said something again. In fact, what they said was not important. What was important was the man's actions. While he was talking, he picked up a strand of Ye Gucheng's hair and rubbed it in his hands. Rubbing it was not enough, he actually leaned over and sniffed it. Ye Gucheng had been enduring it and did not stab him to death with a sword!

This is so strange.

Lin Xian'er poked Ximen Chuxue: "If a man did this to you, why would you not kill him? Not only would you not kill him, but you would also let him do whatever he wants?"

Ximen Chuixue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't think of it."

Lin Xian'er said, "If even you can't stand it, Ye Gucheng will only resist even more, but he actually endured it, so he must have a reason to endure it, and this reason must be more important than his life... What do you think he did it for?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "He is standing in front of you, why don't you ask him instead of asking me?"

Lin Xian'er shrank her neck and said faintly, "I'm so young, but I haven't lived enough."

She raised her lips and smiled again: "Why don't you go and ask? He treats you much better than he treats me."

Ximen Chuixue sneered: "You are afraid of him, but not me?"

Lin Xian'er tilted her head and said with a smile: "Why don't you give me a reason to be afraid of you first?"

Her slender white fingers stroked his heart, her eyes flickering with charm: "Are you still angry about that?" Recalling the sharp knife sticking out from here, he fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, like a touch of bright color seeping out of the finest white jade, Lin Xian'er's eyes became brighter, she did not feel any guilt, she only had an unspeakable restlessness in her heart - this did not conflict with loving him.

Ximen Chuxue pinched her reckless hand. Before he could say anything harsh, the glass suddenly shook. With a dull sound, the tall man was thrown against the glass by Ye Gucheng. He covered his face, obviously having been punched. The two looked at each other for a while, and the tall man smiled again, his lips moving, and he probably uttered a cruel word before walking away.

Ye Gucheng's expression was very interesting. Even people who didn't know him could clearly see that the words "I want to kill someone" were written all over his face.

He turned around in anger and happened to meet the eyes of Ximen Chuxue and Lin Xian'er.

The three of them were so embarrassed that they hugged each other and cried - it was extremely embarrassing.

……

Ye Gucheng is not a thin-skinned person, maybe he was very thin-skinned before, but after staying in the game for so long and being tempered by all kinds of social failure scenes, he is no longer the man who would blush as blood when saying "It's so cool to eat a peach".

He walked in calmly and sat opposite Ximen Chuxue and Lin Xianer.

"Did you all see it?"

This question is unnecessary. If you can't see it, you must be blind. And don't underestimate the five senses of a master. They are incredibly sharp. Even if they don't hear or see, they can still feel the eyes of others on them. Ye Gucheng has always felt that he is being stared at, but he never expected that when he looked back suddenly, his teammates were right there in the dim light.

So the question is, one of them should be sleeping in the morgue, and the other should be a canary in the manor, so how come they appear in this place?

Ye Gucheng looked at Ximen Chuxue with a complicated expression: "You followed me?" Ximen Chuxue flatly denied: "I didn't."

"Then why are you here?" Ye Gucheng asked sarcastically, "Are you here to talk about love?"

This was of course an ironic remark. He certainly didn't really think that someone like Ximen Chuxue would have a secret tryst with Lin Xian'er. After all... wait, there were the gorgeous candlesticks on the table, the flowers in the vase, and the half-drunk bottle of wine... Ye Gucheng had a keen sense of smell, so he could naturally smell the strong smell of alcohol on Ximen Chuxue.

Did Ximen Chuxue drink alcohol?
So the two of them were really having a secret tryst?!
Ye Gucheng's pupils trembled.

Ximen Chuxue's face was as red as a cooked crab, and it was slightly hot. He attributed it to the wine. He had no intention of prying into Ye Gucheng's privacy. Who doesn't have some privacy? Just like he was very reluctant to let his teammates know that he was sent to an official by his "family" for marriage.

He already wanted to leave. He was drunk, sleepy and tired, and there was training tomorrow morning. These were all reasons to leave. In any case, being misunderstood as having a tryst with Lin Xian'er was definitely not one of the reasons.

Who would have thought that just as he was about to stand up, Lin Xian'er grabbed his hand! Her cheeks were also slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be full of tears. She said to Ye Gucheng leisurely: "You are allowed to have an affair with someone secretly, but we are not allowed to be in love?"

Ye Gucheng: ...

Who is having an affair with someone else!

Seeing that Ye Gucheng was about to kill someone, Lin Xian'er was not afraid but continued to add fuel to the fire. Perhaps it was because she was holding Ximen Chuxue's hand tightly under the table, which gave her great courage.

"If I'm not mistaken, that man is the crown prince of this empire, right? I've seen his portrait in the letters exchanged between the Ostan family, and I've also read some things about you."

"That was a verdict. A guard captain named Ye Gucheng seduced the crown prince. The two often met on the banks of the Selvina River, but were accidentally discovered by the king's guards during one of their dates. The crown prince was naturally fine, but the poor guard captain was brought to the court. The marshal personally ordered him to be exiled to the Insect Star. It was really pitiful."

After Lin Xian'er finished speaking, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it slowly. After finishing the wine, Ye Gucheng said, "This is only part of the truth."

"Is there something else going on?"

Ye Gucheng said: "The captain of the guard did approach deliberately. He received an order from someone, who wanted him to sneak up on the crown prince, gain his trust, and then wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. They had already prepared a substitute who looked exactly like the crown prince. He wanted to seize power and use the crown prince's identity to take the power to control the empire from the marshal."

Lin Xian'er took a breath and asked, "Who is that person?"

Ye Gucheng said: "I don't know, I'm also checking."

Although Ximen Chuxue was a little drowsy, his mind was still working well: "So, it was you who took the initiative to ask the crown prince out. You have to continue with this plan and lure out the person behind the scenes."

Ye Gucheng said, "That's right." He uttered these two words with gritted teeth.

The script arranged by the game for him was so familiar. Wasn't it a replica of the conspiracy to usurp the throne at the top of the Forbidden City? But in the original world, he used a sword, a fairy from the sky, and broke seven stars with one sword. What a glory it was. Even if he failed, he died gloriously. Unlike here, he used his face instead of a sword, and the price of failure was to be exiled to the Insect Star and receive a pair of handcuffs symbolizing mob incest.

It's very humiliating.

But he had no other choice. It wouldn't be long before they were sent to the battlefield to pave the way for the powerful to retreat. They wouldn't even be able to see the Zerg Queen! Without the support of the entire nation's army, facing the millions of Zerg troops, they would just be giving the Queen a snack.

It was this failed plan that gave Ye Gucheng the inspiration to lure out the person who intended to seize power, help him seize power, and then control him, so as to use the national military force to fight against the Zerg Queen.

Finish the task early, go home early, and never come back to this crappy place again!
Lin Xian'er leaned on the table with her arms and asked with interest, "I'm curious, what did you just say to the crown prince?"

Ye Gucheng looked at her coldly, but in the end he said nothing, then stood up and left.

It was not until he walked away that Lin Xian'er couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's really hard for him, he is willing to sacrifice himself like this! Hey, tell me, why was the crown prince beaten just now? I didn't pay attention at that time..." As she was speaking, her shoulders suddenly sank, and Ximen Chuxue pressed down on her. The strong smell of alcohol sprayed on her neck with her breath, which was a little hot and humid. Lin Xian'er's body was numb for a long time.

"Ximen Chuxue?" She hugged him and patted his face: "Are you drunk? You were fine just now, why are you so drunk all of a sudden? Wake up, are you sleeping again? Don't sleep! Wake up!"

Lin Xian'er thought about it and then understood. Ximen Chuxue was probably a little tipsy just now, but Ye Gucheng was sitting here, and he didn't want Ye Gucheng to see his drunken state, so he kept pretending - young people are like this, they have a strong desire to win, how could they allow themselves to show the slightest weakness in front of their opponents?
He probably used his inner strength to dispel the alcohol smell, but it ended up making the alcohol smell come out instead.

How can I not be drunk?
Ximen Chuxue was made uncomfortable by her shaking. He frowned and hummed softly, resting his head on Lin Xian'er's shoulder. He did not move anywhere else and slept soundly.

"I really can't believe you have such a good drinking habit. When you're drunk, you just fall asleep and don't make any noise."

"What a pity that it fell into my hands." Lin Xian'er muttered, and couldn't help but smile, as if she had stolen some treasure.
