Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

"It's where the people you love are, Dad, Mom, and Yuniang." Lao He's voice was gentle and affectionate.

But Qin Zhen could not see the little girl at all. Even when Lao He squatted down and picked up the child, in her eyes he was just holding a ball of air.

Why is this illusion so strange?

How can three people in one scene show three different states?

and also--

From the beginning, there has been a lingering sadness in her heart that cannot be dispelled. What is going on?

Qin Zhen's reason kept telling her that this sadness was very unusual.

It was like forcing someone else's thing into her body, and she instinctively felt a sense of rejection.

Before Qin Zhen could figure out the result, the next second, the gate of Bai Ye City in front of her suddenly disappeared.

All the scenery around began to fade little by little, as if a color picture suddenly turned into a black and white film, and finally even the gray and white disappeared, and everything melted into a pitch-black ball.

Lao He's figure also disappeared into the darkness.

In just a blink of an eye, Qin Zhen found herself back in the garden, the difference was -

"petal?"

Qin Zhen discovered that a petal of Epiphyllum had stained her sleeve without her noticing.

The white petals have a faint fragrance that is refreshing.

However, the moment her fingers touched the petals of the Epiphyllum, the petals withered instantly and turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

“Where did the Epiphyllum come from?”

Although Qin Zhen didn't pay special attention to what flowers were in the garden, she still caught some of them out of the corner of her eye. Along the way, she had only seen red peonies and roses, so where were the white Epiphyllums?

To make sure she remembered correctly, Qin Zhen suddenly turned around.

Qin Zhen couldn't help but frown, and she subconsciously wanted to turn back.

Sure enough, there were no white Epiphyllums.

No, to be exact, there aren't even any white flowers.

Qin Zhen quickly withdrew her gaze, temporarily put the matter of Epiphyllum behind her, and continued to run in the direction of the sensation.

There's something odd about this place.

Qin Zhen could clearly feel that the spiritual energy of the magic sword she was carrying was becoming weaker and weaker. However, in just a short moment, the spiritual energy had almost disappeared.

The spiritual sword in his hand is no different from an ordinary sword.

If she hadn't used Lao He's magic pill, she would have been restricted everywhere in this place.

Another tracking spell was cast, and still no response.

Qin Zhen could only hope that Jing Xing or Xiang Qing would be where she could sense them. If not...

Then she had to do something.

Countless thoughts kept running through Qin Zhen's mind, but her feet kept moving.

Soon, she left the deserted garden.

Outside the garden is a winding corridor, at the end of which is a pavilion and a waterside terrace. Red lanterns hanging high up sway slightly in the wind.

Further away from the waterside pavilion, there are clusters of bamboo and trees, and a pavilion is faintly visible.

Qin Zhen vaguely saw that there seemed to be someone in the water pavilion, but she couldn't see clearly.

This place is different from the garden. There is only the winding corridor on the wide water surface. As long as someone steps out, they will be noticed at a glance.

Fortunately, she was able to use the magic pill and the invisibility spell. Qin Zhen jumped onto the corridor lightly and continued to move forward.

Soon, she saw the person in the pavilion.

Even though it was just a silhouette from behind, Qin Zhen recognized it at a glance——

"Second Brother!!!"

Qin Zhen suddenly opened her eyes wide, stopped in her tracks, and walked towards the waterside pavilion.

Just as she approached the water pavilion, Qin Zhen suddenly turned and leaped onto the attic in front of the water pavilion.

At the same time, the water surface, which had been calm just now, suddenly rose into huge waves, almost higher than the roof of the pavilion. Then the water flow enveloped the entire pavilion, forming a huge water ball.

There were faint flashes of lightning in the water flow. If Qin Zhen had not been able to dodge in time, she would have been trapped in the water ball.

"It's really a water dungeon."

It was so obvious to leave Jingxing there, it was almost like writing the word "trap" in capital letters on the waterside pavilion.

But even so, Qin Zhen still had to get closer to check and confirm whether that was his senior brother.

Although she could only catch a glimpse from close up, Qin Zhen immediately confirmed that the person in the pavilion was none other than her senior brother, Jing Xing.

No, no, no, a more accurate statement is——

The body of his senior brother Jingxing.

It was just an empty shell, the soul was no longer in the body.

Because she had eaten something containing Lao He's demonic power, even though this demonic power was very weak, so weak that even a Jindan stage cultivator like Elder Qi could not detect it, but for Qin Zhen who possessed Lao He's demon pill, this demonic power was still extremely clear.

This is like a shark being able to distinguish the taste of one millionth of blood in the sea water hundreds of meters away.

Qin Zhen looked at the unbreakable water prison from afar with a strange expression.

Because when she approached just now, she saw a chessboard on the stone table of the water pavilion.

The chessboard is Liubo chess, which is considered the ancestor of later chess.

Although Go was also quite popular at that time, Liubo was more popular than Go because its rules were simpler and even a three-year-old child could play it.

After all, the less brainpower it requires, the easier it is to be accepted by more people.

Just like few Chinese people don’t know about table tennis, few people here don’t know about Liubo chess.

Even though Qin Zhen was controlled by the plot in her previous life and had no intention of having fun, she could still remember the rules of Liubo chess.

Now all the chess pieces on the chessboard have been swept to the ground, with only a "pawn" chess piece left in a corner.

Jingxing's gaze fell on the chessboard.

Qin Zhen couldn't help but pay attention.

This is a trap, and also a clue left by Jingxing.

Qin Zhen's mind was spinning rapidly, and soon, Qin Zhen suddenly raised her head.

She got it.

Soldiers are soldiers.

This was the only chess piece on the chessboard that hadn't moved, which meant Jingxing wanted her to -

"Stand still."

Also, the location of that chess piece...

"northwest?"

Liubo chess is played on a chessboard consisting of the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, so the directions cannot be wrong.

But isn’t the northwest exactly where she wants to go?

It seems that we can't act rashly.

Qin Zhen has always believed in Jingxing's instructions.

But waiting in place is not her style.

Qin Zhen thought about it, and immediately changed the route, heading to the south where there was also a bloody aura.

At least go and confirm why there is a similar aura over there.

Qin Zhen turned around as soon as she said that, without even stopping.

But when she returned to the garden again, Qin Zhen suddenly smelled a familiar faint fragrance.

It’s — the fragrance of Epiphyllum!

The source of the fragrance...

“It’s also southeast.”

Is it really such a coincidence?
