In the beginning, Xue Fanxin felt that the questions set by the Spacetime Emperor were all amusing in nature. It was not until the tenth question that she noticed something amiss.
Although the tenth question had appeared as a question, it was asking why everyone wanted to open Shui Qianrou’s coffin. If they had not dug her grave randomly and opened her coffin, they would not have been trapped here.
Since this was a tomb built by the Spacetime Emperor, everything here was under his control. Whoever he wanted to live or die would be decided with a thought.
Was the Spacetime Emperor blaming them for digging someone else’s grave?
“This question…” Xue Hanxi did not know how to answer it.
“The water jade coffin,” Xue Fanxin only pondered for a moment before answering this question without hesitation.
If she wanted to know what this Spacetime Emperor was doing, she could only obtain the answer by following the rules he had set.
This time, the words on the stone tablet did not transform into golden light and scatter like before. Instead, they remained the same. In the end, with a bang… the stone tablet shattered again.
A powerful golden light exploded. It was extremely dazzling, and no one could gaze at it straight. They either shut their eyes or blocked them with their hands.
When the light went away, everyone slowly opened their eyes. They were stunned by the scene in front of them. They looked around in disbelief and exclaimed.
“What… what’s going on?”
“Why has it all changed?”
“Are we out?”
“Are we out?”
“We’re out.”
The damaged space had turned into a forest, and it was the Red Maple Forest.
Seeing the familiar environment, the people of the four great families cheered endlessly. The joy of surviving a calamity was all on their faces, and even Xue Hanxi was no exception.
However, Xue Fanxin was not as excited as them. She felt that things could not be so simple. While the others were cheering, she was observing her surroundings and quickly noticed something.
Not far from them was an inconspicuous grave. It was actually Shui Qianrou’s grave. Even the tombstone was still intact.
This shouldn’t be!
She remembered the broken tombstone, and she even had its shards. How could it still be fine?
While she was confused, a familiar voice sounded in her ear. It was Ye Jiushang.
“Xin’er, those are all illusions. You can come out after finding the flaw in the illusion.”
“The flaw in the illusion?” Xue Fanxin pondered over Ye Jiushang’s words and kept staring at the grave in front of her.
This place was exactly the same as the Red Maple Forest. Even Shui Qianrou’s grave was no different, but the key flaw was that tombstone.
Xue Fanxin walked up to the tombstone and touched it with her hand. It gave a different feeling than the tombstone she had touched previously. She clenched her fist and punched it hard.
She actually broke the tombstone.
In an instant, all the illusions disappeared. The surroundings changed and returned to their original state. Everyone was still in that strange empty place.
“Why are we back?”
“Strange, why did we return?”
“What’s going on?”
In the illusion, Yi Fentian had seen everything Xue Fanxin had done. He no longer had the same feeling towards her, harboring serious doubts instead. As long as there was a chance, he would make things difficult for her. “She was the one who shattered that tombstone; that’s why we came back.”
