"Wow, Ouyang Zixin, I didn't expect it to be you..." Zhao Feiyu exclaimed upon hearing Yun Tianmo's words. She was surprised that it was actually her who took the initiative, and that the King of Ink even said she acted too quickly...
Various imagined scenarios flooded Zhao Feiyu's mind. The possibilities she had considered last night were completely overturned at this moment. No matter how she thought about it, she would never have expected that Ouyang Zixin would be the one to make the first move.
"Shut up!" Ouyang Zixin stomped her foot down hard on Yun Tianmo's foot. How could this damn guy speak so ambiguously? It was easy for people to misunderstand, "Don't listen to his nonsense; I just wrinkled his clothes."
Heavens, what did I just hear?
Zhao Feiyu's mouth dropped wide open, unable to close for a long time. She had initially thought it was outrageous that these two hadn't shown up until dawn, but she never expected that when they finally did appear, it would come with such explosive news directly from the two parties involved.
What is going on these days? Does Gossip no longer require subtle inquiries? Can it just be casually stated like this?
Although Yun Tianmo's foot was stomped by Ouyang Zixin, he seemed completely unfazed and instead asked her if her foot hurt. This left Ouyang Zixin feeling aggrieved and unsure how to express her frustration. After giving him a fierce glare, she turned and walked away. She decided to keep her distance from this man; he was simply too dangerous. Being around him meant she could fall into a pit at any moment.
Yun Tianying watched as Ouyang Zixin left in anger and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Aren't you going to chase after her?"
"My foot hurts," Yun Tianmo said nonchalantly, showing no intention of moving, as if his claim of a sore foot were true.
"If you guys aren't going, I will." Indeed, women's Gossip is the most powerful. It should never be underestimated at any time.
Zhao Feiyu hurriedly called out Ouyang Zixin's name while chasing after her. There were still many details left unsaid; she needed to hear all about the torment of that night.

"What should we do next?"
Ouyang Zixin and Zhao Feiyu returned one after the other. It seemed that Ouyang Zixin was fine, her anger had subsided significantly, while Zhao Feiyu appeared somewhat unnatural upon returning. As soon as Ouyang Zixin arrived, she cut to the chase and asked what they should do next; staying here was not a solution. It was no different from lingering in Beautiful Scenery Without Form.
After the two women left, Yun Tianmo and Yun Tianying discussed briefly, but there really wasn't any feasible plan at the moment. The place stretched endlessly before them. After probing around, they found nothing new. It felt like a closed-off independent space; they couldn't find the entrance or see an exit.
"How about we release those three first?" Yun Tianying expressed concern for what Yun Tianmo mentioned. The three were rolling around in Mirror Guardian like marbles, and if nothing unexpected happened, they might still be rolling inside. If they could get them out and ask about their situation inside, perhaps it would lead to new discoveries.
At that moment, the Small Stone Box was not with Ouyang Zixin. Last night, during a sweet moment with Yun Tianmo, she had casually tossed it aside, despite others considering it a treasure. Now that Yun Tianying mentioned it, she remembered. Pointing to a protruding Small Stone Pile nearby, Ouyang Zixin said, "There it is; go get it."
"My foot hurts," Yun Tianmo pointed at his foot, clearly indicating he wouldn't go, and there was a hint of grievance in his gaze towards Ouyang Zixin.
"You..." Ouyang Zixin's previously fading anger flared up again. As the "arsonist," Yun Tianmo was indeed quite successful. "Go! No excuses!"
Seeing that Yun Tianmo's tactics were ineffective against Ouyang Zixin, Yun Tianying couldn't help but turn away, his shaking shoulders revealing his high spirits; at least he was smiling happily.
Watching Ouyang Zixin and Yun Tianmo glaring at each other while Yun Tianying turned his head away, only Zhao Feiyu stood there in a daze as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet.
Earlier, she had chased after Ouyang Zixin intending to tease her. Initially, everything went smoothly; under her questioning, Ouyang Zixin blushed furiously. It was clear from her shy demeanor that something "indecent" must have happened with Yun Tianmo last night, igniting a fierce fire of Gossip within her.
But unexpectedly, when she asked about their progress, Ouyang Zixin suddenly elbowed her sharply in the side, catching her off guard and causing tears to spring to her eyes from the pain. Just as she was about to question what Ouyang Zixin was doing, she heard her say leisurely, "Are we close?"
Then Ouyang Zixin glanced down at her from above and proudly turned away, leaving Zhao Feiyu stunned in place, rubbing her side while still trying to comprehend why Ouyang Zixin's behavior had changed so drastically.
"Gossip girl, you go," Ouyang Zixin glared at Yun Tianmo for a long time before realizing neither could win against the other. Ultimately, she chose to find someone else to retrieve it; at this moment, Zhao Feiyu could be useful.
Zhao Feiyu had been daydreaming and didn't know what the two had said during their standoff. Suddenly hearing Ouyang Zixin speaking to her snapped her back to reality as she blankly replied, "Are you talking to me?"
Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes. Besides her, there was only Zhao Feiyu left as a female; who else could it be?
"I'm talking about you. You were so enthusiastic when listening to Gossip, so why not be a bit more proactive now?"
It sounded somewhat reasonable. If the cost of listening to Gossip was just doing some work, then it was quite a bargain. Zhao Feiyu thought about it and nodded in agreement, walking towards the Small Stone Box located at the Small Stone Pile, murmuring, "It sounds reasonable, but why do I feel like something is off?"
The reasoning was the same old reasoning. The fact was that she had approached Ouyang Zixin to inquire about Gossip, and she had even asked the person directly. This itself challenged traditional notions, so...
"So I actually didn't hear anything; it was all her saying it herself, and then she hit me!" Zhao Feiyu realized that Ouyang Zixin's words were all fallacies. They sounded reasonable but were actually just a bunch of nonsense.
"What are you standing there for? Bring it over," Ouyang Zixin urged when she saw Zhao Feiyu standing still for a long time without moving.
"Why should I? We're not that close," Zhao Feiyu slowly turned around, crossing her arms and looking displeased at Ouyang Zixin. Her waist still hurt; why should she listen to Ouyang Zixin's orders? "You really can fall for it if you're not careful. If you want the Small Stone Box, go get it yourself!"
"…"
Why does everyone react so quickly?!
Can't they wait until I'm done giving orders before responding?!
Ouyang Zixin thought indignantly. It seemed that from now on, she would have to spend some time alone after getting up in the morning to avoid making such rookie mistakes again. (To be continued.)
