Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 449: Pretending

[I will leave it to you.] Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

However, he didn’t speak right away. Instead, he fell into thought and didn’t decide until thirty breaths later.

[Let’s wait for them.] He said and a trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

[What are you planning?] Zhen Yuan asked.

[Let’s trap them in a killing formation disk. That way, we can deal with them without causing a commotion.]

[Okay.] Zhen Yuan agreed.

After that, Shen Xu took out a gourd of marrow cleansing wine and the two drank while waiting for the assassins to infiltrate their room.

Fortunately, they didn’t wait long.

At a little past midnight, the two sensed someone trying to open a gap in the room’s protective formation.

’Here they are.’ Shen Xu thought and looked at Zhen Yuan.

Seeing the look, Zhen Yuan nodded but neither moved.

Instead, they sat cross-legged and pretended to be meditating on the bed.

Outside the room, Zhou Man looked to his right and frowned.

[How is it?] He asked.

[There is nothing to it.] A female voice answered and quickly continued.

[Disciple Zhen didn’t arrange additional formations. We can enter in a moment.] She said.

[Is this trap? Why didn’t he arrange a better defensive formation?] Someone asked.

[Have you forgotten? Our Tianxuan sect is only staying in Mingxi town for one night. Maybe disciple Zhen felt it wasn’t worth it to waste materials for a formation that will only be used for one night.]

[We should still be careful. Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan are not good people.]

[What are you afraid of? I have already used forbidden smoke to seal their cultivation.] Someone sneered with a contemptuous expression.

[We will show them that our Zhou family is not something that they can take advantage of.]

[Compensating them with monster blood, one billion spirit stones, and the fire cloud fruit was already giving them face. How dare they refuse to sell the talisman inheritance to our Zhou family?]

[What are you angry about? Aren’t we about to take it from their corpses?]

[I...] Someone started, but the female formation master interrupted the words.

[We can go in.] She said and stepped back to reveal the gap in the formation.

[Let’s go.] Zhou Man said and led his group of four into the room.

They saw Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan as soon as they entered.

At a glance, the two were meditating on the bed but their brows were creased, revealing that their cultivation was not going well.

"Don’t bother." Someone sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.

Hearing the words, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan opened their eyes, pretending to be surprised.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Shen Xu asked and hurriedly stood.

Similarly, Zhen Yuan stood, looking at the group with wary eyes.

"You have inhaled forbidden smoke and ordinary methods can’t remove it from your bodies." A male cultivator said, his chin raised with a proud look in his eyes.

"Forbidden smoke..." Shen Xu muttered and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Zhen Yuan was immune to poisons and Shen Xu had his father’s bracelet hence he wasn’t poisoned.

However, he couldn’t help but imagine the consequences if he and Zhen Yuan were actually poisoned.

’These bastards deserve to die.’ He thought and without a second thought, he activated a level eight killing formation disk and threw it at the four.

Half a breath later, the four disappeared from the room and the formation disk fell to the ground.

"Don’t be angry. They can’t hurt us." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the double’s hair.

"I know, but still..." The double started and sighed.

"That female cultivator is a formation master. Will she be able to solve the formation disk?" He asked and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"Impossible." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"How can you be so sure?" He asked.

"This room’s protective formation is a mid-stage, level seven, defensive formation. However, even though that female cultivator is a level eight formation master, she took half an hour to open a gap in the formation. Her formations talent is average at best." Zhen Yuan said with a mocking expression.

"My formation disk not only has formation runes but also talisman runes. How can an average formation master solve it?" He asked and Shen Xu nodded.

"What about the others?" The double asked and quickly continued.

"They are Mahayana realm cultivators after all. Can they break it with brute force?"

"They could break an ordinary, level eight, formation disk but mine is far from ordinary. They can forget about getting out unless they can somehow unleash a tribulation transcending realm attack." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

"Let’s hope that they don’t have a tribulation transcending realm cultivator’s attack jade pendant." He said.

"I will throw the disk inside the space." Zhen Yuan said, waved his hand, and the formation disk disappeared.

After that, Zhen Yuan repaired the formation before he and Shen Xu sat to continue drinking wine.

Early the next day, the Dongfang couple invited them to go out and since they had nothing to do, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t refuse.

However, they had already explored most of the town and didn’t find anything of interest.

After walking for half a day, they found a restaurant, and had a big feast before reuniting with the rest of the Tianxuan team.

"We will reach the shore in three days but we won’t stop in Linhai city. We will directly enter the sea and spend the next two months sailing to the Golden rock island." An elder informed and the disciples couldn’t help but be excited.

After that, the group boarded a level eight flying ship but because it didn’t have enough rooms, everyone found a space on the deck and settled down.

"Why aren’t we taking a flying ship to the Golden Rock Island?" Sima Xiang asked.

"Can you stand living on the deck for two months?" Sima Chen asked, looking at his sister with a mocking smile.
