Chapter 123 - Honors
"I'm sorry." Looking at Chu Yu and Chen Ye, I was silent for a long time, but in the end, I still apologized to the both of them.
If it wasn't for me, the two of them definitely wouldn't have been involved in this matter, much less feel such a life-and-death despair.
I have truly let down both of them in this matter.
"Why did you suddenly say that to us?" After hearing my sudden apology, Chu Yu and Chen Ye both looked at me in puzzlement. In the end, it was Chen Ye who could not help but ask me.
Why did he suddenly start apologizing? Could he have been shocked silly?
Thinking about this, Chen Ye couldn't help but reach out and touch my forehead.
Looking at Chen Ye's actions, I obviously knew what Chen Ye was thinking in his heart. Black lines started to cover his entire face.
It was just that I felt guilty, so I apologized to the two of them. Why did Chen Ye think that I was stupid now?
"What are you doing?" He slapped Chen Ye's hand away.
It's fine if you think about it, but to think that you would reach out to touch my head. Could it be … Was he afraid that I would get a fever and lose my mind?
"I don't have a fever. I thought you broke through a hurdle and made yourself stupid, but now you've come out and started apologizing to us for no reason." After getting beaten up by me, Chen Ye didn't get angry. Instead, he retracted his hand and said those words while smiling.
Looking at Chen Ye's expression, I didn't even want to talk anymore.
"Just the two of you?" Looking at Chu Yu, I asked.
Didn't the spirit come out?
I have already passed the third test, so … The spirit should have kept its promise and let the three of us go, but... Why didn't he show up now?
"I don't know." After hearing my question, Chu Yu turned his head to glance at me, and then looked at the three words that I had spoken.
Don't know?
However … Hearing Chu Yu's words, I was a little confused.
What do you mean you don't know?
Weren't the two of them standing outside, watching? How come he still didn't know where the spirit had gone to?
Thinking about this, I looked at Chen Ye with an especially puzzled expression.
"After you went in and tried to break through the barrier, your spirit immediately disappeared. Since we couldn't find it either, we could only wait here silently." After seeing my questioning gaze, Chen Ye explained to me.
After hearing Chen Ye's words, I understood that after I passed the trial, Jing Yuan was an existence created by the spirit, so the spirit had always been by my side. Chen Ye and Chu Yu definitely wouldn't continue to see the spirit.
"I've already passed the third test, hiding is no longer meaningful. Are you still not going to come out?" After figuring out the crux of the matter, I raised my head and shouted loudly.
Right now, everything is controlled by the spirit. It's impossible for the spirit to not know what the three of us have said. In that case, what's the point of him continuing to hide in the shadows? I might as well just come out.
However … After I shouted these words, there was no sound at all from the surroundings, let alone a spirit appearing.
"Don't tell me he purposely trapped us here?" Suddenly, Chen Ye's voice came out.
After hearing what Chen Ye said, I immediately turned my head and rolled my eyes at him in annoyance.
To strengthen others' will and extinguish his own prestige, Chen Ye had done a good job on this matter.
"Can you talk less?" I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I directly told Chen Ye.
This matter had not reached the final step. Chen Ye, could you have some confidence?
"You set up three checkpoints and we all passed. I think... Your esteemed self is not a person who goes back on his words. Since that's the case, why haven't you shown yourself yet? " At this time, Chu Yu, who had been standing quietly to the side, walked a few steps forward, and then spoke with a calm tone.
I looked at Chu Yu's actions and didn't say a word.
In fact, what Chu Yu said was not wrong, even though Spirit and we are currently in a opposing situation, but … Based on my understanding of the spirit during this period of time, I also know that the spirit is definitely not a person who goes back on his words. Since he said that he would set three checkpoints for us, he would let us go once we pass, so … He would definitely keep his word.
Furthermore, Ling is a very proud person, otherwise — He would not have let me go back then, and would need to compare it with Chu Yu's.
All arrogant people have their own precise principles, this is inevitable.
"Hahaha …" At this moment, the sound of laughing spirit suddenly reverberated in the surroundings.
After hearing Ling's laughter, Chen Ye and Chu Yu reflexively walked to my side, protecting me behind them.
"Since you're already here, why not come out?" After protecting me behind him, Chu Yu said this as he looked around.
At the same time, I looked around warily.
Although... In my heart, I knew that the spirit should not be someone who would go back on his words, but — since my physique is unique, it is inevitable that the spirit would go back on its word once.
What's more … Where we are now, in the nightmare that the spirit has created, no one will know what the spirit is doing, even if something happens to us.
If I think about it this way, I really need to worry about my safety.
"I've really underestimated you two." After hearing Chu Yu's words, Ling'er slowly revealed herself in midair, and then, as if she was walking down a flight of stairs, she walked step by step in front of us.
When it was about to reach us, the Spirit stopped and looked down at the three of us condescendingly.
"We've already passed all three tests, I think... You should be keeping your word by now. " After seeing Ling coming over, I squeezed out one of my own heads and said this to Ling.
Although I have thought about my own many outcomes, but I still feel that I should try. Maybe the spirit is a promise.
"Hehe …" "I will never be able to keep up with your words. Since I've already said it, I will definitely do it." After hearing my words, Ling looked down at me with a complicated look in her eyes.
After I heard Ling's sneering voice, my heart couldn't help but pound. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this calamity, but … After hearing Ling's next words, my heart returned to my stomach.
