Ning Yue thought for a while and handed the backpack to Jiang Ying. With someone helping her with the backpack, she felt even more relaxed.

The group walked until noon. Gu Yu finally couldn’t take it anymore and sat down on the ground.

“No, no. I can’t take it anymore. I want to rest. I’m hungry. If I knew you had been in here for so long, I would…”

Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Ning Yue opened the backpack Jiang Ying was carrying and took out a few stuffed meat buns.

“Eat. I’m hungry too.” Ning Yue distributed the buns.

“What? Only buns?” Gu Yu muttered, but he didn’t hold back. He snatched the meat bun from Ning Yue’s hand.

Ning Yue smiled and shook her head. This master was like an old child.

After resting for a while, the three of them continued walking into the village. This time, they didn’t walk for long before they saw a peach blossom forest.

“What’s going on?” Gu Yu asked.

Seeing this, the three of them were shocked. This place was not far from the ruins outside. How could it be intact after experiencing an earthquake?

“Looks like Dragon Village has secrets we don’t know,” Ning Yue said.

This was clearly the case. If a normal person walked into Dragon Village and saw that something was wrong, they would turn back.

The three of them had continued walking because of Ning Yue. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have discovered that there was an intact peach blossom forest here.

“There’s no hurry to go in. Let’s observe first.” As he spoke, Gu Yu picked up a stone and threw it in.

That stone instantly disrupted the neat peach blossom forest.

“Looks like this peach blossom forest has an array formation. We have to think of a way to crack it,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue observed for a while and realized that although this peach blossom forest was very large, it was planted regularly.

“They’re all planted in rows of three.” Ning Yue could tell the pattern of these peach blossom forests.

“What do you mean by that?” Gu Yu asked in confusion.

Jiang Ying also looked at her curiously.

“It’s nothing. Just follow me.” Ning Yue walked in from the third peach tree in the first row.

Then, she walked to the sixth tree in the second row.

Then, she went to the ninth in the third row.

Just like that, she walked out of the peach blossom forest.

“Have you been here before?” Gu Yu couldn’t help but ask Ning Yue.

If that wasn’t the case, why would they be able to pass through this peach blossom forest so easily?

Just now, when he tried to throw the stone in, the stone had just touched the ground when the peach blossom trees on the ground immediately moved.

“I’ve never been here before. I suddenly thought of coming here today because I accidentally received some news. I was able to walk through the peach blossom forest because I happened to know the method to undo the array formation.”

In ancient times, people simply didn’t know how to multiply and divide. She didn’t even know how to explain it.

“Let’s talk about this in the future when we have the chance. I feel that there’s a bigger secret behind this.” As she spoke, Ning Yue quickened her pace.

When they were not far from the peach blossom forest, they suddenly saw a luxurious house.

“How can someone live here? How can a house that has been through an earthquake still stand intact?”

Seeing this house, they were even more surprised than when they saw the peach blossom forest.

This house did not look new. Instead, it looked a little old.

Presumably, someone was living in this house, right?

Ning Yue thought for a while and wanted to knock on the door, but was stopped by Jiang Ying.

“We can’t enter rashly. Think about the rumors about Dragon Village and the scenery outside. Look at how intact this place is. Do you think we can enter?”

Ning Yue fell silent. A voice in her heart told her that she had to go in.

She was already here. If she didn’t go in, she felt that she would regret it in the future.

“Looks like you have to go in.” With that, Jiang Ying made a gesture, and a few men in black appeared.

“Go in and see what’s there. Be quick,” Jiang Ying instructed the men in black.

“Thank you,” Ning Yue said.

If Jiang Ying didn’t follow her, she would have to go in first. It would be difficult to predict what problems she would encounter.

After a while, the man in black came out.

“Master, there’s only an old lady locked up inside. There’s no one else, and there’s nothing special.”

Old Madam? Ning Yue was surprised.

Why was there a locked old lady in this house?

“Let’s go in and take a look first,” Ning Yue said.
