Borrowing a sword

Chapter 39 Han Shuangjiang's Shame and Indignation
Han Shuangjiang couldn't understand why Chu Huaixu wanted to enter the same entrance as her.

This wastes an entry point out of thin air, which is not a good thing from a probabilistic point of view.

If the concern is that entering alone would present challenges that would overwhelm those individuals, that would be unacceptable.

Since this senior designed ten entrances, his original intention should have been one for each person, right?

If one's abilities are outstanding enough, they should be able to withstand the test.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "How about we split up? If I find anything here, I'll bring it out for you."

She had already made up her mind before entering the secret realm.

If you really get anything, just give it all to Chu Huaixu.

The previous turmoil was caused by her, and all the problems were solved by Chu Huaixu. She has always been very clear-headed.

She wanted to give him the jade pendant fragment from the beginning, but he refused.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu still insisted on his own opinion and shook his head.

“Listen to me, we’ll do it together,” he said.

"Okay." Han Shuangjiang stopped insisting.

The experienced Chu Huaixu knew very well that so-called opportunities are not something you can necessarily share just because you want to.

He had no intention of gambling on probabilities or trying his luck.

He preferred to believe that the girl in front of him, who seemed to possess great fortune, was his lucky charm.

—Watch closely, this is how the protagonist of the world is used!

Before entering the No. 7 entrance, Han Shuangjiang glanced at the No. 8 entrance next to her and felt a little regretful.

"Stop looking, trust your first instinct," Chu Huaixu said.

“I believe in you too, maybe you will bring me good luck.” He directly used the protagonist of the world as a “treasure-hunting mouse”.

Upon hearing this, the cold-faced girl pursed her lips slightly, feeling that this grinning guy was putting pressure on her.

Without delay, everyone else rushed into the cave, and they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

The two walked inside, where it was quite cramped.

It has a bit of the feeling of "The Peach Blossom Spring": At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious place.

But the space had only been wide open for a short while when it split into two narrow paths.

"It feels like a maze," Chu Huaixu said, narrowing his eyes.

Han Shuangjiang nodded and suggested, "Should we make a mark?"

"That's fine too." Chu Huaixu didn't care; she could do whatever she wanted.

For him, this was unnecessary, because he had the [map] function.

The map will be open wherever he has been, and he can look it up later, so there is no need to leave a mark.

However, you can't pinpoint your exact location in a dungeon unless you have a level advantage.

Soon, Han Shuangjiang felt that this man was putting pressure on her again.

"Which side should I choose?" he asked.

Feeling helpless, the iceberg looked left and right and then chose the right side.

"Oukai, come eat dog." Chu Huaixu said in English without thinking, leaving Han Shuangjiang confused, but she quickly followed.

Sure enough, the two hadn't walked for long when they came to another fork in the road, this time splitting into three paths.

“Choose one,” Chu Huaixu said again.

Han Shuangjiang glanced at it and suggested, "How about the middle one?"

"Okay, I'll choose that!" he readily agreed.

Then, Chu Huaixu continued walking inside.

Han Shuangjiang was left alone at the fork in the road, marking the path. By the time she finished, he was already far away. She could only purse her lips tightly, watch his long stride, and then jog to catch up.

In this way, the two passed through ten intersections in one go.

Then we entered a large open space with six roads in front of us!
Chu Huaixu began to put pressure on Han Shuang again.

"Choose."

The girl with the cold face looked even colder, and she seemed a little unhappy.

"Can't you choose one yourself?" she asked, frowning.

We clearly agreed that all opportunities would be yours, so you can't let me make all the decisions.

Don't go to the wrong place and then blame me.

"No," Chu Huaixu said rather shamelessly.

"Let me tell you, I have a terrible sense of direction." He started making things up.

Han Shuangjiang was still a young girl after all, and upon hearing this, she became even more unhappy: "Then why don't you make a mark?"

She felt a little wronged, as she felt she was doing all the chores herself, while he just kept walking forward without stopping.

“Well, I deliberately went ahead to scout the way, how do you know there’s no danger here? What if it’s not just a maze?” Chu Huaixu said confidently and logically.

Han Shuangjiang stared at him, dumbfounded, and cursed inwardly, "That shameless sly fox!"

As a result, when she gave people nicknames, they also shared the same tacit understanding.

"You already have a cold face all day long, and when you get angry like this, you become even colder. Big Ice Cube, hurry up and choose, which of these two intersections should we go with?" Chu Huaixu was particularly impatient and began to urge him.

"Big Ice Cube?" Han Shuangjiang was stunned, only thinking, "How awful!"

Small ice cubes seem kind of cute, but big ice cubes always look a bit silly and clumsy.

Frustrated and exasperated, she started relying entirely on her intuition again, randomly pointing to the one on the left: "This one!" This time, she walked quickly forward without making a mark.

Chu Huaixu looked at the cold-faced girl throwing a tantrum, but he didn't feel anything; in fact, he found it amusing.

The colder she was, the more inexplicably he wanted to tease her.

Relying on his [map] function, Chu Huaixu didn't bother to make any marks.

He looked at Han Shuangjiang's slender and alluring back, and at her graceful hips swaying with each stride, and immediately hurried to catch up.

But after catching up, he suddenly slunk back and left a mark at the intersection.

The girl he called "Big Ice Cube" turned around, gave a soft hum, and felt much better and more satisfied.

Unbeknownst to her, Chu Huaixu was secretly alarmed at that moment.

The reason is simple: the map has recorded all ten intersections ahead.

However, there isn't one at this intersection!

According to the system's map function, the area ahead is pitch black, but as long as you walk forward, the path you take will appear on the map and be recorded.

However, there was no road. He had only taken a dozen steps when it was still pitch black, and no new road appeared on the map!
The map only shows the large open area we just passed. After choosing one of the six options, even though I chose the second intersection, no new road appeared. It's like I'm stuck.

"My permissions are too low?"

Chu Huaixu found this puzzling and thought he should make a note of it first.

The two walked and chose for almost an hour.

Han Shuangjiang is becoming increasingly insecure.

"The space beneath this icy pool is so vast!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Moreover, we initially entered through 10 separate entrances, but after walking for so long, we haven't encountered them yet, which means that they are indeed not connected inside."

"Could it be that we actually made the wrong choice from the beginning?" She looked at Chu Huaixu and voiced her thoughts.

“It’s normal for you to lack confidence,” Chu Huaixu said.

In his view, Han Shuangjiang had just entered the world of cultivation. She had not yet encountered any opportunities and was unaware that she possessed great fortune and would have many extraordinary encounters in the future. It was as if the whole world revolved around her.

Just like many people who think they are lucky, they only realize how lucky they are after they have tasted the sweetness of life.

Chu Huaixu looked at her and immediately changed the subject: "But I have confidence in you, don't feel pressured, big ice block."

Han Shuangjiang: "."

You damned fox, why don't you choose which path to take, you bastard!
The cold-faced girl took a deep breath and could only grit her teeth and continue making choices.

She still didn't understand why she had to make the choice, and she felt that she didn't need to take responsibility for it.

And so they walked there for almost half an hour.

They couldn't find their way out of the maze, nor did they reach the marked intersections, meaning they didn't repeat the same path.

"Why don't you choose?" Han Shuangjiang was no longer slightly annoyed, but rather became somewhat dejected.

Keep choosing, keep walking, as if there's no end in sight.

Throughout the process, you will constantly doubt yourself.

She didn't know if she had made the wrong choice, but she also didn't know if she was right; all that remained was endless confusion.

If she were alone, given her stubborn nature, she wouldn't have these emotions; she might even be struggling with herself.

The problem is that she has been making choices for Chu Huaixu.

People's mindset will change as a result.

When Chu Huaixu heard that she was unwilling to choose a route, he did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Really, you choose. I feel like I'm leading you into a dead end." Han Shuangjiang ignored his question.

"It's noon already, shall we eat the pancakes we prepared?" Chu Huaixu said.

"Why do you insist that I choose? What's the point?"

"Want a piece?" He took out two pieces of the pancake.

Han Shuangjiang was furious. Her beautiful eyes glared at him intently. As the ice melted away, her anger brought her to life, giving her a different kind of charm.

Under her watchful gaze, Chu Huaixu had already started to eat.

"Really not going to eat it?" He handed the pancake over.

"Eat." She said coldly, her face stern.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two continued their journey.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chu Huaixu noticed that Han Shuangjiang seemed hesitant to speak.

He assumed she didn't want to make a choice again, so he didn't ask her directly.

After a while, she seemed hesitant to speak and appeared quite uncomfortable.

She clearly has a pair of long, slender legs, and could barely keep up with Chu Huaixu's brisk pace even when walking quickly, but now she is walking slower and slower.

This experienced companion is a very detail-oriented person, which is why they can provide their clients with high-quality service and abundant emotional value.

Chu Huaixu had some suspicions in mind and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Han Shuangjiang, whose face was flushed slightly.

This time, she hastily chose a path, saying, "Let's take the middle one. You go first, I'll be right there, don't wait for me."

"And you're not allowed to turn around!" She spoke softer and softer, raising her voice for the last two words before bowing her head slightly.

She dared not look at him, yet she was filled with shame and indignation.

Chu Huaixu guessed correctly; she needed to urinate.
