A red light flashed by and Ke Chengxuan reflexively dodged it.

He was so physically fit that he subconsciously made a complex move as he dodge.

Although he avoided a vital point from getting hit, his cheek still got scratched.

Ke Chengxuan touched the wound on his face with his hand and slowly calmed down.

He looked up and saw Yu Ning slowly approaching from afar, the red light wrapped around his hand like a spiritual snake. Ke Chengxuan gritted his teeth and leaned down slightly.

In the next instant, several translucent objects, similar to darts, attacked them.

Yu Ning stood in front of Ji Mingxia and quickly used his ring to defuse them.

The darts looked small, but they were very dexterous, and because of their translucency, they came and went without a trace. Although they could not cause much damage, they were extremely troublesome.

While Yu Ning was dealing with the darts, Ke Chengxuan stepped back.

As he was about to leave the basketball court, Ke Chengxuan’s gaze stopped and landed on the wound on Yu Ning’s hand.

He looked at Yu Ning’s arm and then at Ji Mingxia’s, and a vague thought flashed through his mind.

Before he could think any further, Yu Ning suddenly defeated all the darts.

Ke Chengxuan felt Yu Ning’s gaze fall on him and his heart chilled. The grey in his pupils was smaller than before, like ice tinged with blood, Yu Ning’s aura was full of hostility and Ke Chengxuan no longer lingered around. He quickly walked around the corner and used an unknown method to pass through Yu Ning’s barrier, leaving the basketball court and warping to somewhere else.

Ji Mingxia saw that Yu Ning intended to continue the pursuit and he hastily pulled him back, “Don’t chase him Yu Ning, I’m fine.”

Because Ke Chengxuan was the official CP of the original owner, Ji Mingxia had always had a good feeling towards him.

It wasn’t that he liked Ke Chengxuan, but the original owner liked this person, so Ji Mingxia tried to make himself like this person too. Even if he couldn’t make a CP with him, they could at least be friends.

This was why he had agreed to come to Funan county after learning of Ke Chengxuan’s accident. He wanted to check out the situation and try to find him.

However, Ji Mingxia never expected Ke Chengxuan to be completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought that Ke Chengxuan was just an ordinary star, but it seems that Ke Chengxuan had a suspicious background.

Not only did he know about mysterious items, he had also successfully refined one into a spiritual weapon, and knew many of the mysteries of this world. What was even more frightening was that when the area was blocked off and everyone was in crisis, Ke Chengxuan’s first reaction was to grab other people’s supplies, disregarding whether they lived or died just so he could live in peace.

He saved Ke Chengxuan by chance, and Ke Chengxuan gave him clothes and medicine in return.

So although he discovered that Ke Chengxuan had deceived him, Ji Mingxia thought he could still repay his kindness and maybe get him to mend his ways.

The result was completely unexpected.

Not only did Ke Chengxuan refuse to hand over his supplies, but he even had the intention of killing him.

Up until now, Ji Mingxia had never understood how that thing had gotten close to him and how it had turned into powder.

Not only that, but more importantly, how did Ke Chengxuan see through his identity and confirm that he was not the original Ji Mingxia?

Because he had transmigrated in a parallel time and space, Ji Mingxia was as comfortable as a fish in water as soon as he stepped into the book.

Although some details were not quite the same as his world, Ji Mingxia had read the original book and made up for this flaw.

During the past half year, there were several times during which Ji Mingxia almost revealed himself, but he was always able to muddle through.

How could he have expected that Ke Chengxuan would suddenly realize everything without any warning?

He was terrified but what he blurted out was an affirmation, not a question.

That meant he was confident that this Ji Mingxia was not the original Ji Mingxia.

Yu Ning turned his head and only after confirming that Ji Mingxia was safe did the ruthless look on his face fade slightly.

Ji Mingxia’s head was lowered. He kept looking at his stomach in confusion and Yu Ning reached out to help him put his clothes back together.

“It’s cold, don’t catch a chill.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia looked around, Ke Chengxuan’s departure had attracted the attention of a small number of people, but everyone had numb faces and didn’t really care about it.

After all, Ke Chengxuan hadn’t appeared in the past few days and had no friends with the crowd. It was a luxury for them to be alive, so they didn’t have the time to pay attention to Ke Chengxuan’s dynamics.

Ji Mingxia took advantage of the fact that there was no one around them and quickly told Yu Ning how he was warped to a room full of mysterious items.

After that, Ji Mingxia also went over the matter of Ke Chengxuan’s supplies.

After listening, Yu Ning was silent for a few seconds and slowly said, “So that’s why he wanted to kill you.”

Yu Ning’s expression was heavy, and then he looked around at the people, all of whom were sallow and thin.

Ji Mingxia thought about it, but in the end, he didn’t tell Yu Ning about his transmigration into a book.

At this point, there was no need to hide things from Yu Ning.

But everyone was trapped here and monsters could attack at any time. Everyone’s priority was to survive and get out of here.

As the strongest combatant on the court, Yu Ning was the invisible leader so the pressure on him was unimaginable.

His transmigration would not affect the current situation, but it would probably overwhelm Yu Ning’s world views.

Saying it now would only distract Yu Ning, so it would be better to wait until they got out before telling him all about it.

As for Ke Chengxuan, he had stolen everyone’s supplies and was now injured, it was unlikely that he would dare appear in the near future.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia said to Yu Ning, “Ke Chengxuan stole all those supplies, I know where one of his stashes are hidden, why don’t we go look for them and share them with everyone?”

“No need.” Yu Ning said, “I’ve already found a way to get out.”

“You’ve found it?” Ji Mingxia said in surprise, “When did you find it, that’s great!”

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia for a long time and said, “I found it when you appeared.”

In fact, Ke Chengxuan was somehow right, there were thousands of mysterious items guarding the area, and they were able to enter only because something had deliberately opened the way, or even invited them in, so to speak.

So it was basically impossible to get out.

They were like a group of mole ants, locked into a sealed labyrinth with both the exit and the entrance already closed off.

They kept fleeing, dodging and slaughtering the monsters, but it was just a fight of trapped animals.

Everyone thought that Yu Ning could kill his way out and take them out, but only Yu Ning knew that he was stationed at the basketball court for the sole purpose of finding Ji Mingxia.

As for getting out of here, he didn’t have any hope.

Until Ji Mingxia appeared.

The whole labyrinth opened up in a straight pathway, and although there was no exit in sight, they would be able to escape if they followed the path Ji Mingxia had found and go all the way back to the starting point, then they would be able to escape.

Coincidentally, the starting point was no other place than the red classroom.

The area was like two giant Rubik’s cubes, even if someone found the red classroom, the squares were jumbled and they would never find the exit.

On the other hand, it was like Ji Mingxia had twisted the squares a little bit with the path he had taken here, so that when they got to that red classroom, the colour of the multiple sides of the cube was unified, and they had the possibility of getting out.

Those mysterious items hidden in the shadows could stop anyone from finding the right way to unlock the Rubik’s Cube, except for Ji Mingxia, whom they dared not obstruct.

Ji Mingxia’s face was full of joy so Yu Ning did not say any more, but simply said, “There should be very few monsters left, so we shall leave after everyone has taken a good rest and refreshed themselves.”

“Mm.” Ji Mingxia nodded, then pulled Yu Ning and said, “Then you have to first do one thing with me now.”

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia in confusion and allowed himself to get pulled further into the corner.

Under the dim light, Ji Mingxia’s entire being looked soft.

Yu Ning looked at him and his gaze rested on his lips, just as he was about to lower his head, Ji Mingxia directly pulled his clothes: “Put on the medicine!”

Yu Ning averted his eyes in disappointment and sat down to let Ji Mingxia do what he wanted.

Their injuries were the same, but Yu Ning’s injuries were a little more serious as he kept fighting even after being injured. 

After disinfecting with alcohol, and spraying on some medicinal powder, Ji Mingxia left it to get absorbed for a few moments before allowing Yu Ning to put his clothes back on.

Before leaving, Ji Mingxia couldn’t resist and gave Yu Ning a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Ji Mingxia smiled and said, “Your reward–“

Before he could say anything else, Yu Ning lowered his head and kissed him deeply.

Half an hour later, Ji Mingxia followed Yu Ning out of the corner, feeling as if everyone was looking at them. Although they didn’t really know what they had done in the corner, Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but feel his cheeks heating up.

“Mingxia, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for a long time ……” At that moment, Wei Zhen walked up and said, “Huh, what happened to your mouth?”

At his words, Ji Mingxia quickly covered his mouth. “Nothing, why are you looking for me?”

“It’s just Xiao Qi …….”

Wei Zhen asked a few questions about Xiao Qi and Ji Mingxia covered his mouth the whole time. After their discussion, she walked away with doubts in her mind.

It wasn’t until she met up with the others and someone whispered a few words in her ear that Wei Zhen looked at Yu Ning and then at Ji Mingxia and it suddenly dawned on her.

If it were anyone else, they would have been too far away to see Wei Zhen’s reaction, and the matter would have passed.

However, Ji Mingxia’s eyesight was so good that he could see Wei Zhen’s expression clearly.

Yu Ning was standing beside him innocently, and although Ji Mingxia endured for a long time, he finally couldn’t hold back and pinched him hard.

----

The people in the basketball court were not many, but most of them were old or weak.

Yu Ning was in charge of the defense and faced whichever enemy came, and Ji Mingxia was not idle either. He formed a team with Wei Zhen who still had some physical strength, communicated with the people on the scene one by one, and distributed the little supplies. He arranged for everyone to rest, and then calculated the time that everyone would gather together and set off. 

On finding out that they were leaving, everyone was overjoyed at first, but soon calmed down.

They had been disappointed so many times that they had become numb to it, and no one could let go and celebrate unless they were completely out of there.

Ji Mingxia saw it in their eyes and didn’t say much, only urging everyone to rest and that they would make arrangements when it was time to leave.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye and Ji Mingxia was slightly sleepy.

He and Yu Ning had rushed to Funan County early in the morning and after a day of scouting, sneaked in late at night. Ever since they had entered this blocked area, Ji Mingxia’s spirit had been on edge.

It was only now that he was with Yu Ning, and there were no monsters that Ji Mingxia relaxed a little and found a corner to take a nap.

He had just fallen asleep when a dart carrying a note came flying towards Yu Ning.

Yu Ning glanced at it and did not wait for the dart to get close to him before he raised his hand to attack.

The dart and its note were burned up on the spot.

Ke Chengxuan, who was hiding in the shadows, did not expect Yu Ning to be so ruthless. He had sent the letter with good intentions, but Yu Ning did not even look at it.

He gritted his teeth and cursed for a moment. But Ji Mingxia was still resting and the opportunity was too good to miss, so he finally relented and sent another dart.

This time, his note was no longer rolled up, but hung down and the words were clearly written, “If you don’t come, I will tell Ji Mingxia’s secret to everyone.”

The note was delivered to Yu Ning, and without waiting for Yu Ning to destroy it, Ke Chengxuan hurriedly manipulated the note to burn up before taking the dart back.

Yu Ning looked at the burned note and after a moment, he got up and walked straight towards Ke Chengxuan’s hiding place.

Ke Chengxuan didn’t expect Yu Ning to have seen through his hiding place. He was shocked, but then he thought of the cards he had up his sleeve and was slightly relieved.

Yu Ning entered the basketball court lounge and took the initiative to close the door behind him before looking at Ke Chengxuan, who was sitting in the corner.

For the past few days, everyone had been trapped in this area, while others were starving and fearing for their lives, Ke Chengxuan was comfortable, looking no different from his usual pampered life.

That was until his spiritual weapon was destroyed and his vitality was reduced, as well as his defeat under Yu Ning.

In just a few hours, Ke Chengxuan now looked no different from the people outside who looked like refugees.

Ke Chengxuan also knew that he did not look to be in good shape, but he didn’t have time to recuperate. He could only take the risk of bringing Yu Ning here.
