In the magnificent hall of Hongxiu Tower, the rosewood tables are filled with plump and tempting fruits and delicious dishes.
A young man in brocade robe was holding a jade flute and playing a cheerful tune.
In front of him, a girl wearing a silk flowered gown and with her hair tied up in a high bun was dancing gracefully. Her dance moves were exactly the same as the Guan Wan'er seen in the mural in Guan Wan'er's boudoir.
The moment he saw the girl, Ye Feng really thought he saw Guan Wan'er.
But Ye Feng soon discovered that the dancing girl was wearing Chen Xinyi's necklace on her chest. This was not Guan Wan'er at all, but clearly Chen Xinyi.
Ye Feng was a little hesitant. Her face was painted with rouge and was charming, but it looked so unreal. If he hadn't seen the necklace, he really couldn't tell whether this girl was Chen Xinyi or Guan Wan'er.
When the young man in brocade clothes saw Ye Feng coming, he stopped playing the flute and looked surprised.
"Brother, who are you?"
Chen Xinyi, who was dancing, also stopped dancing. When she saw Ye Feng, she showed a look of surprise, and then her eyes revealed a kind of surprise and a kind of uneasiness.
Why is he here? Is he here to save me? This place is so weird. Could he have been captured as well
Ye Feng rolled his eyes. The young man in brocade clothes looked confused, and it didn't seem like he was pretending.
This was clearly an illusory barrier he had set up, and he broke in, but he wasn't alert at all
There is only one explanation. He has become so addicted to the illusory barrier he set up that he has been mesmerized by wine, women, and music, and bewitched by Chen Xinyi's dance, that he has forgotten the reality.
Ye Feng smiled and bowed: "I heard your flute playing elegantly, so I came to listen. You are so lucky, not only do you have good food and wine, but you also have a beautiful woman to accompany you and dance with you. You are so lucky."
The young man in brocade clothes blushed, and seemed very satisfied with Ye Feng's compliment. He pointed to the empty seat and said, "Since you are here, you are a guest. Brother, please take a seat. Let me play another song for you."
"Okay, I can hear you playing the flute. We are destined to meet. May I know your name?"
"You're welcome. My name is Chen Yulang, and everyone calls me Yulang."
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but mutter.
Yulang
That is the title of the painter who painted the mural for Guan Wan'er's boudoir.
After what happened last night, Ye Feng searched and found out that the person who had an affair with Guan Wan'er was her painter, Chen Yulang.
On the full-moon night eighty years ago, the two had planned to elope together, but were discovered by Chen Fanghao's relatives, chased to Zhongnan Mountain, and jumped off a cliff together.
Is this person a human or a ghost
"May I know your name, brother?"
"My name is Ye Feng."
"Brother Ye, come and have some fruit."
Ye Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. Everything in front of him was an illusion. He didn't know what these fruits were.
Ye Feng secretly used his divine eyes to observe the surrounding scene. This sight made him almost vomit.
This was not a red embroidered building at all, but a dilapidated and gloomy cave, overgrown with the man-eating vines that we had just seen. And in the bushes where the man-eating vines were dancing, there was actually a person hiding.
The man's entire body was corroded. The vines had merged with him, passing through his internal organs, leaving only an intact head.
Judging from his relatively intact face, he is the Chen Yulang in front of us.
His brain exudes powerful willpower.
Strictly speaking, Chen Yulang is no longer a human being, but a combination of a vine and a human, a scarecrow.
He and Chen Xinyi stood blankly in front of the scary scarecrow.
Ye Feng didn't dare to act rashly. He was not afraid of the scarecrow or the man-eating vines, but he was afraid that Chen Xinyi would not be able to escape in time.
Ye Feng could only let himself blend into the other party's illusion and look for a chance to rescue Chen Xinyi. He smiled and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady, brother?"
Chen Yulang had an excited look on his face: "This is my wife, Guan Wan'er. Wan'er is pouring wine for Brother Ye."
Chen Xinyi had a blank expression on her face and poured a glass of wine for Ye Feng.
It is not difficult to see that Chen Yulang is so infatuated with Guan Wan'er.
Ye Feng sent a thought to Chen Xinyi: "No matter what I say, you must follow my lead to the end."
Chen Xinyi heard the voice in her head. Although she was surprised at how Ye Feng did it, she responded: "Ye Feng, what do you want to do? I don't know what happened. I don't think it's a good idea for you to do this."
"Do as I say."
Ye Feng looked at Chen Yulang with a smile: "Yulang, actually I came here today because I have a gift for you, but this gift is a bit big, I want you and your wife to come with me to take a look."
Although he felt something was wrong and his eyes looked a little colder, he still agreed to Ye Feng's request: "Go out and take a look? Okay, let's go and take a look together."
Ye Feng grabbed Chen Xinyi's wrist and pulled her out: "Come on, follow me out to take a look."
Ye Feng secretly used his divine eye to know destiny, and his thoughts penetrated through layers of illusions and walked towards the narrow entrance.
In Chen Yulang's illusion, he pulled Chen Xinyi towards the gate of Hongxiu Tower.
Chen Yulang seemed to have noticed something, and he lowered his head: "Stop, wait a moment."
How could Ye Feng listen to him? He continued to walk forward with Chen Xinyi in big strides.
Boom! The Hongxiu Tower seemed to shake. The wine glass in Chen Yulang's hand fell. He looked at Ye Feng with a complicated expression, first confused, then horrified, and later turned into anger.
The door of the Red Embroidery Tower, which was open just now, slammed shut. At the same time, Ye Feng could feel that the man-eating vines from all directions were rushing towards him like crazy, like millions of poisonous snake tentacles, wanting to eat him alive.
The man-eating vines blocked the entrance of the cave layer by layer.
Chen Yulang's voice was no longer as gentle as before, but like a demon, roaring: "Who are you, and how did you get in?"
Knowing that he couldn't act any further, Ye Feng sneered: "It doesn't matter how I got here. Don't you remember that you are already dead? Everything in front of you is fake. You are in a cave. Do you remember the night you fell off the cliff?"
Ye Feng's words touched the most painful memories in Chen Yulang's heart. He trembled all over: "Why did you come in? Why did you destroy my barrier and take away my Wan'er?"
Chen Xinyi leaned on Ye Feng's shoulder in fear: "I'm not your Wan'er, I'm Chen Xinyi, who are you and where is this place?"
Seeing Chen Xinyi clinging to Ye Feng tightly, Chen Yulang's eyes actually oozed tears. He choked and said, "Wan'er, didn't you say that we should leave here together and fly away together? Why did you change your mind?"
