Yu Xunge stared at my gentle face for a while, then turned to Tu Lan and said, "See this? This is Fuzhi. The prettier the Fuzhi, the more careful you should be."

Tu Lan widened her eyes to their maximum and stared at Yu Xunge's flower branch, saying, "Mmm!"

Yu Xunge reached out and covered Tu Lan's face, pushing her off his shoulder.

"Since you've heard of me, that means Qi Hua often comes here to see you, right? Haven't you asked her about it in person?"

"Since you often upset her, it means you know her. Do you think that, given her personality, she would be willing to tell me the reason for such a tough stance?"

Unable to refute... Yu Xunge took the Flower of Deception from my hand: "I'll do it, how can you connect it?"

"Just drape the flower branch over the flower of deception."

As she spoke, the black quicksand on my body floated over, about to land on the Flower of Deception. Yu Xunge pinched the Flower of Deception to avoid the black quicksand and asked, "Can you tell me what gift you plan to give me first?"

I tilted my body slightly to face the ship's wheel behind Yu Xunge. She raised her chin toward the wheel and smiled, "I can tell you when its owner was buried, not only the time, but also the places where she was most often seen."

"Knowing the time is useless. For example, if you don't enter the castle study during that time period, you won't be able to meet me."

This was indeed what Yu Xunge needed most. Without further hesitation, she let the black quicksand fall onto the Flower of Deception. Immediately afterward, the Flower of Deception, like a gemstone, lit up with a faint light, twinkling intermittently.

Tulan: "...Who invented this thing? It looks even dumber than the Stupid Game."

Yu Xunge: "...If you're so capable, say it in front of those two."

The moment the flower of deception stopped shimmering, I waved my sleeve, and the entire legion below the steps vanished. Even if it was all fake, she didn't want this conversation to be witnessed by others.

"What happened?"

The voice of the Deceitful Flower came from within the Flower of Deception, but it was somewhat different from the Deceitful Flower that Yu Xunge knew.

From the polar bear of the past, to the temple, and then to the tranquil mountains and the flower island in the clouds, no matter how her relationship with Qi Hua changed, the Qi Hua she knew never spoke in such a... such a way.

Tension? Domineering? Serious? Dead silence?

Even when she locked Qi Hua in the [Raging Moon] in the tranquil mountains, the other person's voice was never this heavy.

The laughter that was always hidden in his voice disappeared, leaving only a dangerous and cold edge.

This is not the deceitful flower that Yu Xunge knew; this is the deceitful flower of my era, and most likely the deceitful flower that buried me.

—"By me."

Qi Hua called out my name in a flat tone, but it was a very imposing urging.

Yu Xunge cut to the chase: "Why do we have to invade Tingzhou? Diao Ling and I discussed it and felt that the success rate of invading Tingzhou was not high. We wanted to wait until you finished the game and came back before we invaded Tingzhou together."

“Yes, I will go. Go and invade Tingzhou,” Qi Hua replied. As she said the last half of the sentence, her voice finally carried a very faint smile. “It would be nice if Tingzhou were occupied by me and Qi Hua of Tingzhou.”

“No…” Yu Xunge retorted subconsciously, but the Flower of Deception in her hand dimmed.

Tu Lan: "Oh no, it's set to auto-reply."

Although I had never heard of the concept of automatic reply, the literal meaning was still easy to understand. She paused for half a second and then laughed, saying to Zaijiuxunge, "Your little dragon is really humorous."

Yu Xunge chuckled twice, seemingly without any temper: "You don't seem disappointed at all?"

“Yes, I often feel that it’s not just me who’s buried in this time, but also her.” I walked down the steps toward the gate leading to Tingzhou not far away. “If she’s unwilling to tell me the answer, then there’s no point in looking.”

Yu Xunge followed and pressed, "Then why did you make me look for it?"

"You're one of the few players she's mentioned recently. Perhaps you're different? She has very high standards."

"Has no one else come to see you? Have you asked them?"

“This raises a problem: no one dares to say anything that Qi Hua doesn’t want me to know without her permission.” Before Yu Xunge could object, I added, “You’re different. You and I don’t know anything, so we can study this problem together.”

Passing through the gate, the two arrived at Midsummer's copy in Tingzhou.

The surroundings were still in the midsummer season. Neither of them rushed to initiate the final descent. Instead, they strolled through the instance, analyzing various possibilities.

Knowing that she would have to wait 24 hours to leave even if she wanted to, Yu Xunge was no longer in a hurry, especially since the gift she needed most was hidden there.

At this stage, Yu Xunge is mainly asking questions, and I am answering them.

Do you know what the divine talent word for "deceiving flowers" is?

"This has nothing to do with the answer we're looking for. Why are you prying into her privacy?"

Yu Xunge said confidently, "Any clue is a clue. What if it's the answer?"

I shook my head: "I cannot say, the divine innate words are a private matter."

"..." Yu Xunge thought of the silly way she and Mistblade Chasing the Sun Maple Sugar and others chatted about their respective divine talent words on the platform in the game [Divine Lessons], "...Well, your generation isn't as enthusiastic as ours. Players in our era are like a family. Divine talent words aren't some big secret."

I gave Zaijiu Xun Ge a look that suggested I was an idiot: "Do you know how Qi Hua would describe you?"

Yu Xunge immediately asked seriously, "What bad things did she say about me?"

Turan comforted me, saying, "When the Holy Grail asked me about your merits, I couldn't think of anything nice to say either, but that doesn't stop me from liking you."

Yu Xunge: "...Which side are you on anyway?"

When Yu Xunge reached out to push her again, Tu Lan happily flew onto You Wo's shoulder. You Wo didn't refuse; instead, she smiled and patted Tu Lan's head.

Yu Xunge: "..." This damn face-obsessed person.

Without skipping over the previous topic, she laughed and said, "She didn't say anything bad. She only said that the Flower Crown Murder was indeed more troublesome than the Chunci Jazz."

"No way! It's the 'Champion's Words' that's troublesome, while the 'Crown Murder' doesn't require constant monitoring."

"But with just a little deception, Sir Chunci will stay in the flower field, and all the fragrant branches know what Sir Chunci wants. The Flower Crown Murder is different... They are always running around, the least flower-like kind of flower, and they will only stop when they encounter something they hate so much that they must strangle it."

"It sounds much better than Chunci Jazz."

"Is that so? But it's troublesome for flower growers. If you want to tame a flower to follow you around, you have to find a way to make it hate you. But once you've tamed a flower, it's hard for it to develop pure hatred."

Tulan asked his most sincere question: "So why make things difficult for yourself?"

Yu Xunge: "Exactly!"

Tu Lan: "Retirement just means having too much free time."

Yu Xunge: "Exactly!!"
