Chapter 193 Lan Yue's Ingenious Plan
"Lan Yue, where are you?"
"Lan Yue, if you can hear us, you can secretly send us a telepathic message!"
Lan Yue had played a few rounds of match-3 and was resting with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard the familiar voices of her friends.
She immediately opened her eyes and saw a familiar figure not far away.
Yunxi and Yuanshuo challenged the positions that the others had moved, and ended up near Lanyue.
They originally intended to try calling out a few times, and if they couldn't find anyone, they would make other plans.
Unexpectedly, they found the person so quickly, and Lan Yue quickly communicated with them telepathically.
"I'm here, right near you!" Lan Yue's eyes lit up.
She was planning to change seats later to check on what was happening on the female lead's side.
Yunxi's arrival is quite a coincidence!
"Lan Yue, we've searched the entire Xuanwu Formation but haven't found you. You said you were nearby, but we can't find you anywhere!" Yun Xi replied telepathically, following Lan Yue's spiritual power.
Hearing the doubt in her friend's voice, Lan Yue then remembered that she was still in the form of a little red snake.
So Lan Yue bowed slightly and "amicably" negotiated with the other red snakes, eventually arriving at the Xuanwu stake where Yun Xi was.
"I'm right here at your Xuanwu Stake!" Lan Yue chuckled.
Yunxi looked left and right but couldn't find anyone, so she scratched her head in confusion.
"Lan Yue, it seems your concealment skills are already quite impressive." Yun Xi thought for a moment and finally concluded that the special concealment array Lan Yue created could deceive most people's spiritual senses.
In this way, even if Lan Yue stays under the Xuanwu Stake, she can get through these three days and be relatively safe.
Yunxi was happy for Lanyue when she suddenly felt some movement on her dress.
She was startled; her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.
"Yunxi, be careful!" Yuan Shuo, who was standing nearby, also noticed the movement on the Xuanwu stake and quickly warned her.
"Don't worry, this little snake is me, and I'm coiled around your Xuanwu stake!" Lan Yue quickly explained to the two of them using telepathy, afraid of being accidentally injured by her friends.
Yunxi was shocked to discover that a small red snake had crawled around her feet at some point.
The little snake, like a crystal-red jade, circled around her.
Yunxi: "???"
At that moment, not only she, but also Yuan Shuo beside her fell silent.
So the reason they've been searching for so long without finding anyone is because Lan Yue has already turned into a snake and taken the place of the other snakes?
All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation as Lan Yue! Only she could come up with such a method.
Lan Yue didn't turn back, after all, suddenly transforming from a small red snake into a living person could easily scare others.
"What do you think of my method? Isn't it incredibly convenient and simple? No one would have imagined that we would turn into little red snakes circling around the Xuanwu stake!"
These small red snakes would circle around each Xuanwu stake, and no matter how vigilant people were, they would never have imagined that these small snakes could be replaced.
Not only that, Lan Yue also used telepathy to tell her two friends how she obtained the identity token.
The two friends were stunned when they heard Lan Yue's account from beginning to end.
So, in everyone's eyes, the elder who was rumored to steal the identity token was Lan Yue?
No wonder they both felt something was off.
Yunxi was both amused and exasperated.
"How about it? Do you want to join me? I've already collected quite a few identity tokens, and I haven't been discovered yet," Lan Yue urged.
"Let's team up to start a business and get rich quick, secretly steal these people's identity tags, and let them experience the harshness of society!"
Anyway, this competition is basically about people stealing other people's identity tokens in order to get a higher ranking.
If you don't steal other people's wooden signs, someone else will always come and steal yours.
Lying down and being a lazy bum is fine, but if you can also get a wooden plaque while lying down, that would be even better!
Yunxi was very tempted by what she heard. From the beginning of the competition until now, she only had five identity tokens in her hand.
This was something she earned through hard work and fighting with those people.
If you want to obtain more identity plaques and achieve a higher ranking, there seems to be only one way right now.
"Okay, Lanyue, I'll join you too!" Yunxi was very excited; she found it thrilling!
Then she looked at Yuan Shuo's position.
Yuanshuo: "..."
"Since you've all agreed, let's begin."
Anyway, he's just an invisible person. He's even dressed as a woman before, so what difference does this make?
"Okay, then you guys jump down first, and I'll take you to the corner to change clothes!" Lan Yue was very excited.
Not long after, she led two people into her concealment formation.
Lan Yue looked at Yun Xi. In the original story, there was only the Southern Region Grand Competition, not the Northern and Southern Region Grand Competition.
Back when the Southern Region Grand Competition took place, the female protagonist went through many hardships and returned.
Ultimately, with his cultivation at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he achieved a good ranking in the early stages.
Later, during a fight, he suddenly broke through his cultivation level and advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, ultimately winning first place in the Foundation Establishment competition in the Southern Region.
But ever since Lan Yue arrived, the plot has been racing ahead, so fast that even the mother wouldn't recognize her anymore.
Logically speaking, the female protagonist's cultivation level should have reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage by now, and she might even be able to win first place in the Foundation Establishment stage competition in the end.
However, it seems that it will be extremely difficult for Yunxi to win first place in this competition.
Lan Yue always felt that it was her own unreliable butterfly wings that had ruined all the plot points and also blew away some of the female lead's opportunities.
It's okay, she has a trick up her sleeve that allows her to fly with the female lead!
Take now, for example!
Lan Yue tinkered for a long time and finally made three identical Xuanwu stakes.
These three Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) stakes are exactly the same as the other Xuanwu stakes; there is no difference between them at all.
Then she transformed her two other companions into red snakes and wrapped them around the Xuanwu stake.
Finally, these three Xuanwu pillars quietly appeared at the edge.
Lan Yue transmitted her voice and instructed, "The Xuanwu stakes are not moving today, so we will lie in wait here. Tomorrow, the Xuanwu stakes will all move, and that will be our opportunity!"
Of course, the reason she made the Xuanwu stake herself, instead of having her companions take the place of the other red snakes, was that she did so.
That's because they can control the Xuanwu stakes they made themselves. If they encounter something bad, they can directly control the Xuanwu stakes to escape.
At that time, others might have thought that the Xuanwu pillars were moving according to a pattern and wouldn't be discovered so easily.
After Lan Yue explained it clearly, Yun Xi's red snake eyes showed an expression of admiration.
"Lan Yue, you're amazing!" Yun Xi exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing," Lan Yue said, a little embarrassed.
While the group was secretly communicating, a chubby boy with a puzzled expression appeared on a few Xuanwu pillars not far away.
"Brother, I think I saw a few Xuanwu stakes suddenly appear next to us."
"These Xuanwu stakes have already been occupied, how could there be any extras?" His brother said dismissively.
The chubby boy rubbed his eyes, took another closer look, and then widened his eyes again.
"Brother, I saw that little red snake, and it can actually laugh!"
