Chapter 3094
3094 Strange
“Mu Jiu?”
Even after calling twice, there was no response. There was no sound of someone bathing either. He approached the stream with wariness, but he was taken aback after only a few steps.
“Formation array?”
He was stunned and stayed motionless. “Did Mu Jiu set up this formation array?” He walked on, puzzled, thinking, It’s just a formation array. Did Mu Jiu think no one would be able to break it?
!!
Unintentionally, he entered the formation array and came out of the maze. He didn’t give up and kept walking inside. He chose a different path, but ultimately returned to the formation’s starting point.
“How unexpected.” Guo Ziqi said while scratching his head in puzzlement and staring ahead. Now he knew for sure that he wouldn’t be able to enter this formation array.
“What are you doing here, Ziqi?” Lin Chengjin approached him and looked at him strangely as he mumbled alone.
“You’ve arrived just in time. Aren’t you skilled at formation array? Let’s see if you can get across.” Guo Ziqi drew him closer.
Lin Chengjin was surprised when he heard this. “Formation array?” His gaze swept toward the front. “Who set up the Nine Palaces Maze here? Where is Mu Jiu?”
“This formation array should have been set up by Mu Jiu. He took a bath in the stream in front. Hey, a man should just take a bath if he wants to. Why set up a formation array that prevents anyone from passing through? How strange.”
The more he couldn’t see it, the more curious Guo Ziqi became. He immediately told Lin Chengjin, “Why don’t you try it? See if you can find a way to break it.”
Lin Chengjin smiled and shook his head. “That isn’t good.” He went on to say, “Mu Jiu must set up this Nine Palaces Maze because he doesn’t want anyone to come in and bother him. Let’s wait outside until he comes.”
Guo Ziqi said nothing more after hearing his thoughts but found a place to sit and waited outside.
While Lin Chengjin carefully examined the formation array in front of him, a slight twinkle flashed in his eyes. He smiled, and then accompanied Guo Ziqi to wait there.
Inside, Feng Jiu carefully removed the disguise from her face, reapplied it, and then put on the clothing given to her by the sect. She examined herself from head to toe and then walked out after removing the formation array.
A few steps after exiting the formation array, she noticed Guo Ziqi and Lin Chengjin chatting not far away. She approached them and asked, “I’m done. Do you want to take a bath, too?”
“Why are you so secretive while taking a bath? Mu Jiu, you are so strange,” Guo Ziqi exclaimed while staring at her.
Feng Jiu smiled. “It’s just a habit. Go ahead! I’m going back first.” After saying that, she started walking away.
Lin Chengjin smiled as he watched the figure walk away. He then went to the stream, washed his face, filled his cup with water, and returned.
The stream was a flowing body of water and the water source flowed downward. Even if someone had recently bathed here, the water was clean because it came from above. As a result, after suppressing his doubts, Guo Ziqi took off his clothes and walked into the stream to take a bath.
After Feng Jiu returned, she found a large tree, jumped up and rested on top of the tree, ignoring the people below and falling into a deep sleep.
Mu Ling had arranged for people to take turns keeping watch, so the night was calm. As morning came, Shao Kaizhi moaned in pain from his wound as he came to and everyone woke up.
“Senior Brother Shao? Are you awake? How do you feel?” Lin Yushi, who was guarding beside him, asked quickly.
