The two of them had been Array Grandmasters for quite some time…
So, they shouldn't have been ensnared just now…
Yet, they were directly trapped in the Illusion Array!
Although they quickly made it out, they were still thoroughly affected!
They knew that if it had been a life-or-death battle just now, they would have truly been in danger, because a second's neglect could change a lot…
Seeing their shocked faces, Hu Xiaobei gently smiled!
Hu Xiaobei was aware that Xie Ling'er's strength had indeed improved a lot…
He also knew that such a change was mainly due to the boost in her confidence…
Previously, due to his involvement, she had been stuck in a rut, but now, she had completely broken free…
This shift in her state of mind had made her Illusion Array even more captivating…
After clarifying these thoughts, Hu Xiaobei gently clapped his hands…
Attracting everyone's attention, Hu Xiaobei said in a low voice, "All right, let's not waste any more time now. We'd better hurry up and set up the trapped array again! Delay could lead to trouble!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they nodded swiftly!
They agreed with Hu Xiaobei, knowing that the priority was to quickly set up the trapped array, as if the person inside managed to escape, things would indeed become troublesome…
Seeing unanimous agreement from everyone, Hu Xiaobei smiled and continued, "All right, come closer, I will go over the complete trapped array with you in detail! If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me! I'll explain everything to you thoroughly!"
Hu Xiaobei knew that they needed to work together to set up the Array properly, so he planned not to hold back even the slightest trick of array setup…
After their assent, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and began to sketch out the complete trapped array!
Meanwhile, he explained every detail to them…
At first, Xie Wenlei and Xie Wenqiang didn't listen carefully…
Because they had already thoroughly studied the simplified version of the trapped array…
They thought that there wouldn't be much difference between the two arrays, so there wasn't a need to listen too attentively…
But soon, they were stunned…
Because they realized that the difference between the two arrays was much larger than they had imagined—more than a hundred times greater…
They couldn't keep up!
They quickly found they couldn't follow Hu Xiaobei's train of thought…
With an awkward exchange of glances, they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes…
Quickly, they made a decision, and in that moment, Xie Wenlei awkwardly spoke up!
"Grandmaster Xiaobei, could… could you explain a bit slower, I… I don't quite understand!"
Hearing Xie Wenlei's awkward words, Xie Wenqiang also added, touching his nose, "I… I also didn't catch some parts!"
They knew admitting this was embarrassing, but it was necessary…
Because if they didn't clarify now, there wouldn't be any chance of successfully setting up the Array perfectly later!
Xie Ling'er, hearing their awkward admissions, realized that they hadn't taken Hu Xiaobei's explanation seriously before!
She gave them a deep look and spoke flatly, "Elders, please pay more attention!"
Hearing her words, they nodded sheepishly, quickly!
They then looked towards Hu Xiaobei and promised eagerly, "Grandmaster Xiaobei, please… repeat it, this time, we promise we will listen carefully!"
Upon hearing their promise, Hu Xiaobei simply nodded…
Bai Xuening, standing behind Hu Xiaobei, couldn't help but smile…
She thought that those two were genuinely respectful like students…
"No matter when, Xiaobei always manages to become the center of attention, eh!"
Saying this, she turned to look at Hu Xiaobei; although she didn't understand what Hu Xiaobei was explaining, she still wanted to listen carefully!
For no particular reason!
After explaining diligently for half an hour, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and asked, "Are there any questions now? If so, feel free to ask!"
Upon hearing this, they all shook their heads vigorously!
In that half-hour, Hu Xiaobei explained so clearly that any further questions would indeed suggest a problem with their intelligence!
Seeing that they all shook their heads, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Since there are no questions, let's rest well for a while now, and we'll start setting up the Array in ten minutes!"
After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei quietly sat down to rest with his eyes closed!
But no sooner had he closed his eyes than he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder…
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw the Treasure-hunting Rabbit he had sent away earlier perched on his shoulder…
It had been caught by Xu Gang and then rescued by himself!
At the time, to avoid further harm to it, he had sent it away from the weakened spot of the trapped array!
Hu Xiaobei thought it would have returned to Xiaohe Village after being sent away, but now, here it was.
"I thought you would have gone back to the village by now, but it seems you haven't yet!"
He looked at it and curiously spoke.
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, its long ears twitched slightly…
Soon, it stretched out its long little paw, pointing to a place not too far ahead.
Hu Xiaobei observed attentively for a moment and understood what the rabbit was trying to indicate!
In an instant, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, "Are you saying there's something really good over there?"
After saying this, he saw the rabbit nod vigorously…
Feeling its excitement, Hu Xiaobei looked in that direction again, somewhat tempted, because he knew this creature wouldn't get up early if it wasn't for a profit!
Now, its active interest in something meant that the thing must be exceptionally precious…
"Alright, after we're done here, I'll go with you to check it out, to see exactly what it is!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, the rabbit nodded lightly, and then quickly conveyed something else…
After understanding, Hu Xiaobei rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, we'll split it fifty-fifty when the time comes…"
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit, reassured by Hu Xiaobei's promise, gave a human-like smile…
Quickly, it cleverly rolled its eyes, and afterwards, stretched out its chubby little hand towards Hu Xiaobei…
Realizing it wanted to make a pinky promise, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose.
"You're really getting clever!"
Muttering this under his breath, Hu Xiaobei swiftly extended his hand… ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
After making the pinky promise, an absolutely delighted voice reached Hu Xiaobei's ears, "Xiaobei, where… where did this rabbit come from? It's so adorable!"
