Chi Jinlian was not shy. Instead, she looked straight at Xu Mu and raised her red lips slightly: "Mr. Xu, you are a talented person. You deserve me to show my beauty in front of you."

"Ah, that's really... you're too kind."

"Is it okay? This is the first time I've worn this outfit in front of a man, and I'm a little insecure..."

Xu Mu gave a thumbs up: "Very charming!"

Chi Jinlian smiled brightly: "Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Xu, please come in."

She took the initiative to reach out her hand, held Xu Mu's arm with a little force, and pulled him into the room.

meeting.

Too good at it.

They exchanged pleasantries, such as "Have you eaten?" and "Did you sleep well last night?" The communication went very smoothly.

After the greetings, they got down to business and began to observe the rubbings.

Chi Jinlian said that she had read the Twelve Forbidden Spells thoroughly, and if there were any spells hidden in the rubbings, she would definitely be able to find them;

Xu Mu said that he was very familiar with "The Legend of the Twelve Heroes" and he would not miss it if there were portraits of the heroes or heroic scenes of them resolving crises in the rubbings.

So, the two of them stopped talking and began to observe the rubbings seriously.

Ten minutes passed.

Chi Jinlian glanced at Xu Mu and found that he was looking at the rubbings.

Half an hour passed.

Chi Jinlian glanced at Xu Mu and found that he was still focused.

One hour.

three hours.

By noon, neither of them spoke, and the only sound in the meditation room was the wind blowing the curtains.

No extra offense.

No blunt defense.

It was like two chess players playing against each other, their moves were ordinary, there was no fierce fighting at the beginning, just silent planning. The real danger was -

A fierce mid-game fight!

Brutal endgame!

Chapter 105 # 104 He has never fallen! [3100 monthly tickets plus more]

After examining each of the twelve rubbings, there was still no progress.

Xu Mu first tried to find the statue on the rubbing. Among the twelve heroes, there was a one-eyed swordsman who always wore an eye patch on his left eye, which was a very obvious appearance feature.

If Violet was really based on the Twelve Heroes, then this feature would not be missed.

but--

Unfortunately, Xu Mu did find a human-like composition on each rubbing, but after careful identification, he found that no one had an eye patch.

The Twelve Heroes should not exist on the rubbings;

The same is true for Chijinlian.

After careful observation, she did not find any surgical techniques.

She denied it immediately: "The image on the rubbing is definitely not the 'Twelve Forbidden Spells', I can be sure of that."

is it?

Xu Mu nodded and said, "It's probably not the Twelve Heroes, but I think we're heading in the right direction."

"Humph……"

Chi Jinlian bent her fingers and rested them on her chin, making a sound of thinking.

Yes.

The direction should be correct. Violet herself said that the twelve paintings on the rubbings are related, so the possibility that they belong to a series is very high.

There is no progress now, simply because the answer has not been found yet.

"I also think your inference is very correct and it is fully feasible."

Chi Jinlian turned around and said so.

She turned her head to look at the sun and said, "Ah, it's already this late...Mr. Xu, we should have lunch."

Xu Mu stood up: "Still the same shop as yesterday?"

"I don't mind, but..."

Chi Jinlian frowned.

She acted coquettishly and said, "The sun is too strong outside. I don't want to go out. Mr. Xu, can you bring me a copy?"

Test!

Obscure, tempting!

Chi Jinlian remained calm and launched her attack!

Bringing a meal is a very reasonable request.

However, the meaning behind this was not simple. If Xu Mu had no affection for Chi Jinlian, then he would definitely not answer Chi Jinlian's request. And if Xu Mu had even the slightest desire for Chi Jinlian—

He will definitely agree!

Chi Jinlian's eyes were tender, as if she had been wronged, and she looked at Xu Mu timidly.

The breeze blows the gauze curtains.

Time seems to have stopped.

Xu Mu had a smile on his face and looked very calm, but his brain was working at high speed!

He thought to himself, "Can't you finally hold back? You cunning woman. If I agreed and asked you what you wanted to eat, you would definitely say 'anything', right?"

At the same time, Chi Jinlian was also thinking.

She looked at Xu Mu and thought, "When you agree and ask me what I want to eat, I will give you the right to choose and tell you that anything is fine. That way, I can see how obsessed you are with me from the food you buy for me."

“If you only bought me the regular package, then you are still sober and I need more patience;”

"If you bought me food that's luxurious enough, then I'm sorry... you've already fallen into my trap! I'm going to deal with you however I want. I'm going to make you kneel under my skirt and lick my feet, and I'm going to make you call me Queen!"

"Come on, come on, come on! Mr. Xu, let me see how much you love me now!"

Time begins to flow.

Xu Mu nodded and said, "No problem. Is the 'Magic Steak' you had yesterday okay?"

Chi Jinlian was startled: "Huh?"

"Don't you like wizard steak?"

"Ah...that's not to my taste."

Xu Mu nodded again and said, "Then let's have the 'Secret Flame-roasted Noodles' that I had yesterday! I think that one is pretty good."

Chi Jinlian blinked and remained silent.

plan……

The plan was disrupted!

This Xu Mu—how come he is so opinionated!

Chi Jinlian took a deep breath and said, "Forget it... I'd better go with you. Come to think of it, the sun is very strong, but I can hold an umbrella."

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Let's go."

"……Um."

"What's wrong, Chi Jinlian? You don't seem to be in a good mood? Does it make you uncomfortable to eat with me?"

"How could that be? It's just too hot today and I have no appetite."

what.

This is it.

Xu Mu had already opened the door: "Man is iron, and food is steel. For the afternoon observation, we still need to eat."

Chi Jinlian picked up the umbrella: "Well, let's go."

……

……

The twelve zodiac animals, the legends of the twelve heroes, the twelve forbidden spells, and the scenic spots of the Kingdom of Radiant Gems.

Three of the four alternative answers were eliminated, leaving only the landscape of the Gem Kingdom.

After Xu Mu and Chi Jinlian finished their meal, they returned to read the "Gem Country Travel Guide." Unfortunately, the guide was split into two halves, so they didn't have the opportunity to study it head-on or shoulder-to-shoulder, missing out on the possibility of "accidental physical contact."

This is a pity for both of them.

I watched until night, but still found nothing.

Xu Mu lowered his hand, looked at his wisdom attribute which had increased by more than 30 points, and said, "Chi Jinlian, are we overthinking this? Have you noticed that when we observe rubbings, we become stronger?"

A whole day of high-intensity mental work really took a toll on Chi Jinlian.

She rubbed her temples and said, "My mental strength has increased a bit. It is indeed stronger than it was two days ago."

“So, is it possible that there’s nothing on the rubbing, and Violet deceived us? Her intention was simply to have us examine it?”

Xu Mu put forward a new speculation.

"impossible."

But Chi Jinlian quickly denied it.

She looked at Xu Mu and continued, "Grand Mage Violet is a renowned senior. The rubbings she personally made wouldn't be meaningless. The reason we can't see the images on them is most likely because we lack the ability."

what……

Xu Mu was a little unconvinced: "You respect Violet very much."

Chi Jinlian was puzzled. "That's only natural, right? Don't you respect her?"

Ok.

Hard to say.

Violet’s level was indeed not low, but Xu Mu had never seen her fight, so he didn’t know how strong she was.

The gap between legend and legend is very large.

Like that elf, the lady in the black dress—

She is a legendary Shadowhunter, but she is obviously still very young, probably having just achieved legendary status not long ago.

Xu Mu defeated her without even revealing his cards, so Xu Mu would definitely not respect her.

"Ugh."

Chi Jinlian looked out the window at the night scene and asked, "Will you stay today?"

Xu Mu stood up and said, "Let's go home... Chi Jinlian, I might come late tomorrow."

"Is something wrong?"

"I know one of Violet's students. I plan to meet her tomorrow to see if she can offer any clues."

what.

Chi Jinlian nodded and said, "If it's her disciple, it's possible that he could provide us with information we don't know about. See you tomorrow, Mr. Xu."

She threw the keys to her sports car.

Xu Mu took it, put it down, and said with a smile: "I won't drive your car. The bus is still running at this time. I'll take the bus back."
