"How boring, he fainted just like that. He can't be cross-dressing, can he?" Ouyang Zixin poked Feng Chengxuan again with her toes and found that he was indeed unresponsive like a dead pig, which made her lose interest and walk back.
As soon as Zhao Feiyu heard the mention of cross-dressing, she became sensitive. After all, she had initially entered disguised as a man. Now that Feng Chengxuan, who was lying on the ground, was being compared to her, she naturally felt unwilling and quickly retorted, "No one is as weak as him when cross-dressing." Her tone clearly conveyed disdain; someone who could faint suddenly was not taken seriously by others.
Now that Feng Chengxuan was treated like a chicken and unable to answer any questions, who should they ask next?
Ouyang Zixin's gaze wandered between Zhai Yiqi and Baike. Both of them had past grievances with her at Lingchi Peak. Logically speaking, it didn't matter who it was, but since Ouyang Zixin had just knocked Feng Chengxuan out, she was in a playful mood and wouldn't simply grab someone to continue questioning.
At this moment, she resembled a hunter selecting prey; the fate of the prey that encountered the hunter was only one—surrender.
"Earth Qi, why aren't you standing up for her now?" Ouyang Zixin pointed at Baike while asking Zhai Yiqi, "Feeling sad?"
Zhai Yiqi's expression darkened as he awkwardly lowered his head. Was he sad? Did he even have the right to feel that way?
"White Maiden, how can you not be moved by such a devoted man?" Ouyang Zixin put her hand down and looked at Baike with curiosity. Zhai Yiqi also looked decent and seemed genuinely infatuated with her. Was Baike really not moved at all?
Logically speaking, Zhai Yiqi had known Baike longer. How could he lose to Yun Tianying, whom he had only met recently?
Could it be an issue of looks?
But then again, it made sense; the brothers Yun Tianmo and Yun Tianying were indeed strikingly handsome. Ordinary people really couldn't compare to them.
"The Third Prince is also infatuated with you..." Zhao Feiyu's voice drifted over from behind.
"If you can't chat properly, then don't speak; no one will think you're mute!" Ouyang Zixin gritted her teeth and spat out each word. Was this what they called undermining someone from behind?
Zhao Feiyu covered her mouth and chuckled but wouldn't continue; she just couldn't help wanting to dampen Ouyang Zixin's arrogance a bit. There was no malice in it. Really, no malice at all.
Nangong Tuo?
Yun Tianmo turned his head at this moment, glancing at Zhao Feiyu with a seemingly indifferent gaze. It appeared that the Zhao Family knew quite a bit. Perhaps he could take advantage of them. Initially, he had looked down on Zhao Feiyu for bringing the Zhao Family's token to seek him out. Although he was unsure whether Zhao Feiyu's mention of Nangong Tuo was intentional or not, it left a mark in Yun Tianmo's mind.
"Strange. Why do I suddenly feel so cold?" Zhao Feiyu chuckled lightly but then felt a chill run through his body. Looking around, he noticed there was no wind; it was truly odd.

"Damn it!"
Bang, bang, bang...
Nangong Tuo had been trapped in this stone wall for a full two days and nights. Whenever he had a bit of strength, he would pound on the stone wall with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, the wall showed no sign of budging, leaving him completely unable to escape from within.
To be honest, Nangong Tuo was quite unfortunate. Upon entering the Millennium Ruins, he had misunderstood certain matters and wasted half a day trying to break through. Eventually, he figured things out and gave up, only to serendipitously find another exit. However, before he could celebrate, the ground shook violently, causing him to lose his balance and roll into the stone wall, getting stuck in the process...
"Damn it, damn it!"
Now, all he could do was curse; he couldn't think of anything else to do. If it weren't for the fact that the space wasn't too cramped, he would have likely starved or died of thirst by now.
However, as he watched the food in his spatial ring dwindle down to almost nothing, his anxiety grew even more. What kind of nonsense Millennium Ruins was this? Nothing had gone smoothly since he entered. He had originally planned to quickly find Ouyang Zixin and explore together, but now here he was, stuck for two days and nights without finding a way out. He was practically going insane with worry.
"Is anyone there? Come on... just anyone..."
After shouting for so long, Nangong Tuo was almost ready to give up. The thought of dying here before even marrying Ouyang Zixin made his heart ache, and tears threatened to fall from his eyes.
"Did you hear someone calling just now?"
"Did you?"
Just when Nangong Tuo was about to give up hope, he faintly heard voices accompanied by footsteps approaching from afar. It felt as if he had flown from hell to heaven in an instant; overwhelmed with joy, he shouted excitedly: "Is someone coming? Please save me! Save This Prince! I promise you gold and jewels worth thousands..."
"There really is someone."
"Let's go check it out."
Zhao Feihong patted his companion beside him. They had been traveling together for some time, and he found the other person to be reliable. Although the companion would not reveal his identity, Zhao Feihong genuinely regarded him as a comrade.
"It seems like it came from here."
"Who is inside?" Zhao Feihong asked.
"Hello, I am Nangong Tuo, Third Prince of Li Nation. Brothers outside, please help me; I am trapped in the stone wall." Upon hearing the question, Nangong Tuo quickly responded with excitement. His greatest fear was that no one would pay attention and simply walk away. Now that someone outside was asking, it meant there was hope for rescue.
"Is it the Third Prince?!" Zhao Feihong was taken aback upon realizing it was Nangong Tuo. He had not expected to encounter the Third Prince here. The Zhao Family's relationship with the royal family was still quite tense, and if he could rescue him, it might benefit his father in future dealings with the Sovereign.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Feihong became even more determined to save Nangong Tuo. However, his own strength was limited, and it would be best if his companion could assist him. Turning around, he was about to speak when the other person spoke first.
"Young Master Zhao, I do not wish to have any entanglements with the royal family, so..."
"Brother, he is the Third Prince of Li Nation; you must have heard that. If we can rescue him, the Exiled Nation's Sovereign will not treat you poorly." Zhao Feiyu understood that this person was likely not from the Exiled Nation, but regardless of which country he belonged to, there was no reason to turn down a benefit. Moreover, the opportunity was right in front of them; it would only take a little effort.
Nangong Tuo listened to the conversation from within the stone wall and realized that one of them seemed unwilling to help. He quickly promised many benefits, hoping they could get him out of the stone wall.
However, no matter how much Nangong Tuo assured them that he would not be ungrateful or betray them after being rescued, neither Zhao Feihong nor his companion were willing to stay and help. Eventually, after discussing how Zhao Feihong and Nangong Tuo could work together to break through the stone wall, they left despite Zhao Feihong's pleas...
Zhao Feihong smiled wryly: "Third Prince, do not worry; Feihong will rescue you right away." (To be continued.)
