Chapter 1141

Ning Chen told Xiao Han what had just happened; the situation was clearly off now, and the direction the two of them had headed toward was exactly that circle.

"There must be something here affecting them. We have to get over there quickly, or they might be in danger."

Xiao Han quickly put on his clothes.

Ning Chen nodded, but he still had one more thing to do.

Arriving at Gu Yanqi's door, Ning Chen knocked. Although it might be dangerous inside, leaving Gu Yanqi alone in the RV made him even less at ease.

Gu Yanqi opened the door with bleary eyes, and seeing it was Ning Chen, most of the sleepiness vanished: "Brother Ning? What's going on?"

"Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin ran into an accident. We have to go check on them."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Gu Yanqi's eyes went wide: "Okay, Brother Ning, wait for me a moment, I'll go put on some clothes."

Gu Yanqi closed the door, quickly stripped off her pajamas, and put on a tracksuit and sneakers.

In less than two minutes, she walked out while tying her hair: "Brother Ning, I'm ready, let's hurry and go after them."

Ning Chen nodded and led the others off the vehicle, but the moment they stepped down, Ning Chen stopped.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong?" Gu Yanqi asked Ning Chen with some confusion.

Ning Chen turned his head back: "We're not getting off. We'll just drive over."

Since Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin had both run toward that circle, and they too had to head there, it was better to just drive over.

If anything went wrong, they could still have them stay inside the RV.

This RV had its own protective shield, and basically couldn't be broken through.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Gu Yanqi nodded and climbed back up; Xiao Han also took the passenger seat.

Since they were driving over, Gu Yanqi headed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face to wake herself up a bit more.

Ning Chen sat in the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and then floored the accelerator.

The distance from here to that circle wasn't far—only a few hundred meters. Even though the surroundings were pitch black, Ning Chen drove over relying on the route in his memory.

The vehicle sped along as if it were flying.

Gu Yanqi walked over holding Little Qiongqi, who was still asleep. She looked at it sleeping soundly in her arms and felt a wave of envy.

The vehicle charged straight into the circle and stopped.

The three of them immediately got out to check the situation.

The lake at night seemed even more beautiful; moonlight scattered across the water, twinkling on and off, like gems radiating their light within the lake.

The surroundings felt gentle and peaceful, and even the wind was warm and balmy.

Ning Chen patted Little Qiongqi awake and directly dragged it, tossing it into the air.

Little Qiongqi, half-asleep and half-awake, hurriedly spread its wings and fluttered in the air.

"Hey, what are you doing! And why did we suddenly come here?" Little Qiongqi wanted to keep scolding Ning Chen, but upon seeing the illusionary realm around it, its eyes filled with confusion.

"Little Qiongqi, Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin somehow ran in here. Can you help us look for them?"

Gu Yanqi hurriedly told Little Qiongqi the situation, the whole person somewhat anxious.

Hearing that Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin had disappeared, Little Qiongqi was so startled it stopped sleeping too, and hurriedly flew up high to check the situation.

Not long after, Little Qiongqi flew toward the center of the lake and landed, and when it took off again, it was dragging a person.

Little Qiongqi tossed the person in front of Ning Chen, then flew back toward the center of the lake and dragged over another person.

Ning Chen looked and saw that the first one Little Qiongqi brought was Facing Huo Jinglin, and the second was Lin Yi.

They were both wearing pajamas, eyes tightly shut, breathing steady.

If not for the wrong location, Ning Chen would really have thought they were fast asleep.

Ning Chen glanced at the lake—surrounded by water on all sides—so how had Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin managed to run out to that center without getting wet?

Gu Yanqi crouched down to check on the two of them, and naturally noticed this oddity as well.

"Brother Ning, both of their clothes are dry."

Ning Chen gave Xiao Han a look, and the latter headed to the RV and brought out the rope Lin Yi had used to tie himself up last time.

Ning Chen firmly bound Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin's hands and feet—so much so that struggling on their own, they simply couldn't break free.

Ning Chen's technique was very good; at the very least, without hurting them, they had no way to break free.

Just to be safe, Ning Chen also used his ability on the two of them, forming a layer of protective shield over their bodies.

"Brother Ning, what are you doing?" Gu Yanqi looked at the two bound people and asked in confusion.

"Just to be safe. Their condition right now is very unstable," Ning Chen said in a very steady voice.

Although Gu Yanqi felt the two of them were a bit pitiful, she trusted Ning Chen's words without any reservation.

"There must be something here affecting them. The two of us have strong willpower and won't be interfered with, and your woman herself is inherently immune to interference."

Upon hearing Xiao Han say that phrase "your woman," Gu Yanqi's face instantly turned bright red; fortunately the cover of night hid it, so it wasn't so obvious.

Ning Chen crouched down, hoisted Lin Yi onto his shoulder, while Xiao Han carried Facing Huo Jinglin.

After bringing the two back to the RV, Ning Chen began observing them.

There was no trace of pain on either of their faces, nor any wounds on their bodies; aside from their feet being a bit dirty from not wearing shoes, nothing seemed off about them.

But under these circumstances, that itself was the most off thing.

"Should we wake them up?" Gu Yanqi suggested, watching Ning Chen who was observing the two.
