"What do you want to do?" Yun Tianmo pondered for a moment and had to admit that Ouyang Zixin was right. No matter how unwilling he was, if he wanted to escape the current predicament, he would have to take action regarding her. He still remembered when he accidentally fell into an illusion in the Underground Palace and ultimately discovered that the Illusionary Eye was actually her. If this Beautiful Scenery Without Form was also a variable caused by her...
"I'll try to see if I can get out of here, while you all stay behind and see if there will be any new changes. Even if there aren't, I can use the Small Stone Box to get you out." Ouyang Zixin intended to leave this place using the method they had used to exit the Underground Palace. As for where they would go next, there was no need to worry about it now, as worrying wouldn't help at all. No one knew how vast the Millennium Ruins were; even with the Small Stone Box in hand, it was impossible to fully understand.
"Don't look at me like that; I'm not some kind of saint sacrificing myself to save you." Ouyang Zixin couldn't stand Zhao Feiyu's gaze, which seemed to regard her as a great savior. The gratitude in those eyes made her uncomfortable.
Zhao Feiyu quickly averted her gaze. Indeed, she was surprised and somewhat moved; after all, people are selfish. She hadn't expected Ouyang Zixin to be willing to try it herself. It should be noted that there were too many variables within the Millennium Ruins, and these variables could easily lead to death. For instance, if Ouyang Zixin hadn't been able to manipulate the "earth" within this Beautiful Scenery Without Form, those three people might have already been dead.
"I'll go with you." Yun Tianmo was worried about Yun Tianying, but he believed that Yun Tianying shouldn't be weak enough to lose his life in such a mechanism. After all, Yun Tianying had been fighting against deadly toxins for many years.
Yun Tianying naturally knew how worried his younger brother was about him. For him to say such things likely meant he had gone through intense psychological struggle. After all, this was a difficult choice.
"Don't worry about me; I think I can still take care of myself." Yun Tianying patted Yun Tianmo's shoulder. After some rest, most of his injuries had healed. As long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any major problems. Now was not the time to only consider one's own safety; if they didn't dare to try boldly, they might all end up trapped here.
With Yun Tianying's words, Yun Tianmo fixed his gaze on Ouyang Zixin, giving her no chance to refuse.
Feeling a bit uneasy under Yun Tianmo's intense stare, Ouyang Zixin couldn't deny that she was touched. This man was willing to separate from his sibling for her sake, which showed that she still held significance in his heart. However, while she roughly knew how to get out of here, she had no confidence about whether she could take Yun Tianmo with her or if any dangers would arise in between.
"I don't have confidence." Ouyang Zixin thought of countless ways to persuade Yun Tianmo but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say them and could only helplessly speak the truth. Because she lacked confidence, the risk factor of their actions was incalculable. She wasn't being alarmist; she just hoped that Yun Tianmo could understand the stakes involved.
What if they failed...
"If you are worried about the turbulence that might occur during spatial movement, then there is no need to be," Yun Tianmo said, noticing Ouyang Zixin's furrowed brow and understanding her concerns. He rarely offered comfort, but this time he did, "Did you forget what happened when we entered the secret realm?"
When they first entered the secret realm, there had indeed been spatial turbulence. If it weren't for Yun Tianmo holding her tightly, Ouyang Zixin didn't know what dangers might have arisen.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Zixin felt her face flush; she had made quite a fool of herself back then. It seemed that her feelings for Yun Tianmo had begun to change at that time, though she hadn't realized it herself.
After discussing among themselves, they decided to follow Ouyang Zixin's suggestion. She would leave Beautiful Scenery Without Form, accompanied by Yun Tianmo. Zhao Feiyu and Yun Tianying would stay behind in Beautiful Scenery Without Form. Since the Mirror Guardian on the Small Stone Box could not transmit sound, they agreed that if Ouyang Zixin and Yun Tianmo successfully exited, she would use the Small Stone Box to observe the situation here. If Beautiful Scenery Without Form returned to its original state or underwent new changes, they would cross their arms above their heads; if it remained stagnant without any new developments, they would cross their arms in front of them.
"Gestures combined with lip movements should be understandable," Ouyang Zixin recalled games from her past life where people guessed words through actions. She wondered how capable the people of Yuhai Continent were in this regard.
"What if there are changes? Can you all return?" Zhao Feiyu expressed some concern; after all, everything was based on speculation, and none of their attempts felt very certain.
If everything couldn't return to its original path, then they would forge a new one.
However, Ouyang Zixin chose not to voice this thought as it was an extremely risky decision. She couldn't take responsibility for others' lives; this was merely a basic action plan. If it came down to needing to take risks in the end, she would respect others' decisions.
"Everything is predestined," Ouyang Zixin sighed lightly without directly answering Zhao Feiyu's question. She turned to look at Yun Tianmo and playfully stuck out her tongue, asking, "Even so, do you still want to try this with me?"
Yun Tianmo remained silent but looked at her with unwavering determination. This warmed Ouyang Zixin's heart; she had previously allowed illusions to deceive her and even doubted him.
"Then let's go," Ouyang Zixin stepped forward and took Yun Tianmo's hand. It was her first time initiating contact with him, making her feel somewhat nervous as sweat formed in her palms.
Yun Tianmo nodded at Yun Tianying before following Ouyang Zixin as they moved aside, leaving him and Zhao Feiyu to continue waiting in place.
"Make sure to succeed." Zhao Feiyu clenched her hands tightly, murmuring to herself. She still hadn't found her brother, and if she were to be trapped in this ruin, it would be such a waste; after all, she was only eighteen.
Yun Tianying, on the other hand, was not as anxious or fearful as Zhao Feiyu. He was much more composed. After all, from the moment he was poisoned, every extra moment he lived was a gain. Entering the Millennium Ruins was a gamble; if he won, he could rid himself of years of poisoning, and if he lost, it would just lead to the same outcome.
What made this time different was that he could see Yun Tianmo had found the woman he admired, and this woman seemed to be unlike any other. This made him feel that everything was worth it. So as he watched the two of them walk away, he smiled gently, as if experiencing happiness and beauty rather than facing a crisis. (To be continued.)
