Within a few minutes, Yuan Chunhua and Elder Feiling quickly became acquainted as they discussed meeting Alchemist Ren.
"Anyway, it's a promise that you would help arrange a meeting with Alchemist Ren for me," Elder Feiling said with a bright smile.
Yuan Chunhua nodded her head.
"Rest assured, Elder Feiling. I'm pretty sure if I asked someone to help me arrange the meeting, even if Alchemist Ren is currently refining, he would drop everything to attend the meeting." She promised. While saying that, her eyes slowly sneaked a glance at Jiang Ming.
No words were needed to be told for Jiang Ming to understand her intention with that single glance.
The so-called someone was definitely him since only he had the capability to command Alchemist Ren at will.
'How did I end up being used as a bargain?' Jiang Ming wondered silently.
Sometime later, they finally decided to temporarily put aside the conversation of meeting Alchemist Ren and focused on getting out of here first.
"Jiang Ming, lead the way." Yuan Chunhua said calmly, almost like she was the boss.
Jiang Ming had no reason to refuse her considering how he planned to lead the way from the start. After all, he couldn't trust the other two enough and doubted they would notice any hints along the pathway.
A puzzle domain is the most tedious because you literally can't miss a single clue. Otherwise, you would be stuck forever and unable to leave unless you have the luck of a god.
"Follow closely behind and don't you dare walk ahead of me if I stopped my footstep." Jiang Ming warned the other two before heading forward.
From time to time, he would stop his footsteps and admire the scenery for a few minutes before moving on. Although they were confused by his constant stopping, they didn't voice many opinions besides a few smear remarks from Chen Yanmu.
Of course, he wouldn't bother explaining things to them considering how much time would be wasted. He would rather finish his mission quickly and relax back home.
"Jiang Ming, haven't we gone through this path already?" Yuan Chunhua suddenly asked when she noticed the same scenery in front of her. She recalled the graffiti labeled on the wall previously.
At first, she had simply thought it was merely a decorated wall with the same design multiple times. Hence, she had decided to leave some markings and now that they had arrived here yet again, she saw the markings she had done.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was trying his best to suppress his laughter.
Yuan Chunhua thought she was big braining and obtaining all these valuables information but little did she know, she was being marinated like a fool.
"Ahh, how cute of you Yuan Chunhua." Jiang Ming smiled as he shook his head.
"The markings you left was a pretty dumb move if I have to be honest with you. The domain is literally called puzzle type for a reason. And the goal of the domain was to deceive us from the get-go. By setting up a marking, you just allowed the domain of this space to utilize it to their advantage and tried to marinate your thought process." He calmly explained.
However, the terminology was too profound and incomprehensive for Yuan Chunhua to understand what he meant.
"Can you speak in a normal human language that I can actually understand?" She held a pouty attitude as she could tell Jiang Ming was mocking her intelligence.
When had she ever been mocked like this before? By someone younger than her too.
"Explain yourself, Jiang Ming." She stepped forward and glared at him.
"Hmm, somehow I don't feel like explaining anymore." Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders.
Just because he had taken a liking to her, doesn't mean he would accommodate all of her demands. That would be just plain sad if he needed to do all of that just to get her affection.
He wasn't a virgin anymore and had tasted the forbidden fruit before. Therefore, he wasn't horny or that thirsty enough to get into another woman's pussy.
He turned around and prepared to continue forward without bothering to explain things. However, Yuan Chunhua was unwilling to let it go considering how her meticulous preparation was roasted by him.
She grasped his wrist and gritted her teeth, "If you can properly explain what's going on... then I'll give you a kiss on the cheek."
It was much to her unwillingness but her curiosity got the best of her. Once a woman becomes overly curious about a man, that's when you know the man got her full attention in the bag.
Thus, as a generous man, Jiang Ming decided to send a mental transmission to her, "The dimension and our paths are constantly changing as we continue to walk. Though it couldn't change the entire path, it was able to transfer something forward to create an illusion of us walking in a circle."
After saying that, Jiang Ming directly punched the wall and caused his hand to bleed a little, shocking Yuan Chunhua deeply with his action.
"What are you doing?" She screamed in alarm and hurriedly glanced at his fist which was covered in blood.
While she was the only one panicking and tending to Jiang Ming's injury, Chen Yanmu and Elder Feiling merely stood by the side, not planning on doing anything.
Given how they were being isolated, Elder Feiling decided to take this time to pacify Chen Yanmu about forgetting her father's death.
With Alchemist Ren possibly allying with their sect, she couldn't afford an insignificant death like Chen Peizhu to sabotage their future.
"Disciple Chen Yanmu, I hope that you can take into the full picture and understand my action. Although you always stated that his death merely affected your reputation. I can tell you still hold a bit of a grudge at Jiang Ming for his actions." Elder Feiling said.
Chen Yanmu nodded her head weakly. "I know... getting revenge is no different than courting death. I'll keep the bigger picture in mind."
Just when Elder Feiling was relieved to hear Chen Yanmu letting go of the grudges, multiple footsteps could be heard from afar.
"Seems like that punch of mine has finally attracted these spooky skeletons," Jiang Ming laughed heartily while watching Yuan Chunhua bandage his hand.
