Chapter 55: Like Strangers
“Yu, look…” Ye Qianyu glanced at Zhang Xingqing, who was following another gang, and said to Han Wuyu.
Han Wuyu followed his gaze. Zhang Xingqing was with someone close to thirty-five years old. He looked at them with mockery.
“Don’t mind her.” If he couldn’t even handle a mere woman, how could he contend for the King’s Position?
“Let’s go,” Han Wuyu said indifferently, and they walked together into the hidden location of the Heart of the King.
This was a vast forest. The trees in the forest seemed to be artificially planted, and each tree had its purpose. “Yu, with so many trees… how will we find it?”
There was no computer, and no hints.
“Go over there.” Han Wuyu pointed to a tree with ribbons tied to it. The direction he pointed was where the ribbons were fluttering.
“Is it correct?” Yin Chubei looked at him in disbelief, relying only on a ribbon?
“If one is smart, they can see that the direction of the ribbons is intentional. However, most people will just treat it as a marker, not a signpost. Moreover, they will think the wind is strong in this direction, making it impossible for the Heart of the King to be here. But…” He didn’t finish, but his meaning was very clear. Hearing his explanation, the two of them showed looks of admiration.
“How did we not think of that? Heh heh.” Ye Qianyu chuckled, but Han Wuyu’s next words made him stop laughing.
“Because you’re stupid.” This was said without mercy, but it gave Ye Qianyu a lot of hints. They all knew that Han Wuyu was the sole and best candidate for the King’s Position.
This statement, while openly calling him stupid, was implicitly hinting that they should not overlook anything, from the grass to the trees, and that every conspicuous object was a signpost.
“Follow the direction where the ribbons are flying. This path is incredibly winding, and it seems no one has walked it before.”
Han Wuyu analyzed it logically. The path ahead had narrowed to the width of a single-plank bridge.
“Remember to step on the stones on both sides.” Han Wuyu walked at the front, observing the situation and giving them hints along the way.
The two of them were clearly outstanding individuals, but in Han Wuyu’s presence, their brilliance could never shine.
Stones were laid out all the way. This was also intentional, wasn’t it? Ling Hu watched the actions of each gang on his computer, finally focusing on Han Wuyu and his two companions.
“These three people have no helpers? And they found the correct path so quickly? They don’t have computers either.” This surprised him greatly. Truly, heroes emerge from the young.
“Helpers, look here. Why do their computers have such precise maps?” Someone next to Ling Hu pointed at Zhang Xingqing’s gang.
Ling Hu followed his finger and his face was full of disdain. “This kind of cheating will never lead to the Heart of the King. The Heart of the King will choose the king it recognizes.”
The few people following Han Wuyu were still some distance away. Zhang Xingqing had not expected them to have such good luck, but was it really just luck?
Zhang Xingqing’s excitement was more than a little. She thought: As long as I get the Heart of the King, then he… will never escape my grasp.
Han Wuyu also knew that more gangs would discover this path soon. Of course, the gang Zhang Xingqing was in… would definitely find it. Although he didn’t believe she had a 100% accurate map, having more precise hints was inevitable.
Suddenly, three diverging paths appeared in front of them.
（ You said that novels without a touch of unreality are rather boring, right? Please don’t criticize if you don’t like it! ）
