Due to Ye Jiushang's suppression, the dozen people present did not speak or dare to make a move. They just wait and stand there. Other than a small number, most of them did not understand what was going on.
The atmosphere was very quiet, even a little strange. A group of people stood there in a daze, with only a few having normal expressions.
Those people were Little Lei, Zhuri, and Fuyun. The others, including Gu Jinyuan, all felt a little uncomfortable.
As time passed, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes passed. Only then did Xue Fanxin make a move. When he regained his senses and realized the strange atmosphere, he asked puzzledly, "What are you all doing?"
Since Ye Jiushang did not allow anyone to speak, no one dared to answer him. Gu Jinyuan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
From what happened today, he knew that Ye Jiushang not only wanted absolute ownership over Xue Fanxin, but he also protected her.
On the other hand, Xue Fanxin trusted him completely. The two fell in love with each other and have given their hearts to each other. It is very difficult for third parties to interfere.
Since this was Xin'er's choice, she had to give him her blessing.
“It's okay, don't worry about them. Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Ye Jiushang ignored the others. He treated them as if they did not exist and only had Xue Fanxin in his eyes. His softness is only his.
Little Lei and the others were already used to such things, so they did not find it strange.
However, the others all looked surprised. They really did not understand how such a dignified, cold, and arrogant man could have such a gentle side.
Xue Fanxin turned her attention away from the crowd. He looked at Ye Jiushang and shook his head slightly.
“I don't feel uncomfortable. It's just that there are some things on my mind. Just like that note last time, I couldn't digest it for a while.”
“No need to force yourself. Enlightenment depends on the right time, place, and person. Fate is important.”
"Yes yes. I won't think about it for now.” Xue Fanxin nodded heavily. In front of Ye Jiushang, she was like a submissive little girl. She is sweet, cute, and charming.
Yi Fentian felt increasingly uncomfortable looking at him like this. He hoped to rush forward and snatch Xue Fanxin from Ye Jiushang's hands.
However, he knew that this would not work. Unless Xin'er was interested in him like in the past, she would definitely not be able to steal him from Ye Jiushang.
Xin'er, do you really not like me anymore?
Xue Fanxin really did not take Yi Fentian seriously. Even if Yi Fentian had been tricked by Li Yaoyao back then, what he had done to a little girl who liked him made him feel ashamed for her. If it wasn't for the fact that he later came to his senses, he wouldn't have let go of this bastard.
Forgetit. Just treat him as a stranger.
After Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang chatted for a while, he turned his attention to Gu Jinyuan and asked with a smile, “Gu Jinyuan, you have long been stuck here. Where do you usually rest?”
“There is an empty spot not far ahead. There was a stone house on both sides, and every stone house was identical. There are two rooms with a courtyard, with a total of twenty stone houses,” said Gu Jinyuan.
He paused for a moment as if he was in a difficult position. Then, he continued, “I have two stone houses here, and I can give one to you. The other stone house is occupied by four large clans.”.
Gu Jinyuan hoped that the four great clans could hand over one or two stone houses to Xue Fanxin, Ye Jiushang, and the others. After all, there were several stone houses, and not many people from the four great clans. Many houses are empty and uninhabited, but still claimed.
However, after Gu Jinyuan finished speaking, the people from the four great clans did not respond for a long time. They pretended not to hear anything, including Yi Fentian and Bai Han.
Of course, they would not easily give up that stone house. Stuck in this place, food and shelter are essential.
After spending a long time in this cursed place, even the emperor had to lie down.
Although none of the four great families were willing to give up the stone house, Xue Fanxin did not force them. Soon enough, he would make these people regret it.
“Gu Jinyuan, thank you. You are a true friend.”
"certainly certainly. I'll take you there now and introduce you to a friend.” Gu Jinyuan pretended to be relaxed and led the way.
"Sure! I also want to know your friends!” Xue Fanxin smiled in response. He looked at Ye Jiushang and said, “Ah Jiu, let's go first. We will talk about the rest after we calm down.”
He did not forget the wound on Ah Jiu's back. Even though he had taken care of her for a while, sliding down the ice lane must have ripped through her wound.
Then, he soaked in the cold water of the lake, so the wound must have gotten worse. He had to find a clean place to take care of his injuries.
Ah Jiu is the most important now. Everyone has to step aside.
Xue Fanxin was extremely intelligent. He did not say anything about Ye Jiushang being injured in front of an outsider and protecting the pride of a noble.
Little Lei, Zhuri, and the others knew better not to say anything. In fact, other than Little Lei, Zhuri and Fuyun did not open their mouths at all. They just followed Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang, waiting for their orders.
Gu Jinyuan brought Xue Fanxin, Ye Jiushang, and the others to an empty spot not far ahead. There were twenty neatly built stone houses on both sides. They look pretty good, but they are a bit harsh. There are no doors or windows.
However, it was already good enough to have a place to live in such a situation. He couldn't be too calculating about other things. Who knew if he could leave alive?
In the middle of the empty land was a stone tablet. On it were densely packed strange words. Some men were studying the stone tablet earnestly, occasionally discussing amongst themselves.
All their attention was on the stone tablet, and they did not care about the arrival of Xue Fanxin, Ye Jiushang, and the others.
"What are they doing?" Xue Fanxin asked in confusion.
“There are many words engraved on the stone tablets, but no one can understand them. Everyone thought as long as we solve the mystery of the stone tablet, we might be able to get out. See that guy in blue? His name was Xue Hanxi, and he was the Young Master of the Xue family. He's the most knowledgeable here, so many people put their hopes on him,”
Gu Jinyuan explained, also revealing Xue Hanxi's identity to Xue Fanxin in case she didn't know anything.
Xue Hanxi and her followers were the first to come here. Although he had only disappeared for about a month outside, over a year had passed.
Originally, Xue Hanxi had no idea that the flow of time here was different. He thought that he had really been stuck for a year. As more and more people came, he found out that it was only a month.
Xue Hanxi became more energetic. He came to study stone tablets every day, and sometimes, he did so for a few days without rest. Unfortunately, he did not know it yet and was unable to understand a single word on the stone tablet.
Xue Fanxin slowly walked forward and stared at the words on the stone tablet. After taking a look, he exclaimed in shock, "Oh my goodness, this is actually English?"
Did he see anything?
The words on the stone tablets were actually in English.
This place actually speaks English.
This world is so mysterious!
