Chapter 216: This Is Unreasonable!

On the Da Yin side, this was where the Cheng Family Army was stationed.

It was already deep into the night, and only squads of soldiers patrolled back and forth inside the camp.

Cheng Chengxuan was fast asleep inside his tent.

Suddenly, three men in black slipped in quietly.

The three crept on light feet to the bedside, raised their daggers, and stabbed downward.

To their surprise, Cheng Chengxuan—who had originally kept his eyes tightly shut—suddenly opened them, drew the long sword at his side to block, and at the same time kicked two of them away.

"Bang!"

The kick sent the assassins stumbling backward into a rack, and the water basin on top fell to the ground with a loud "clang."

The people outside heard the commotion and ran over one after another.

The three assassins exchanged a glance, then charged forward again with daggers and long swords raised.

Cheng Chengxuan drew his long sword, ready to meet the enemy.

Suddenly, a thoroughly mechanical voice sounded in his ear.

Buzz!

Data anomaly!

Buzz!

Mission detected as complete!

Apart from Zaituan Farm and the Shop that comes with the Farm, all other functional plug-ins will be unbound and deleted within ten seconds.

Countdown:

Ten!

Nine!

What?!

Cheng Chengxuan froze on the spot, staring at the flickering light screen; an immense, groundless panic welled up inside him.

What does this mean?

Three!

Two!

One!

As the countdown hit zero, the light screen before his eyes vanished!

How could this be?!

"Watch out!"

That shout snapped him back to his senses. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a flash of cold light, and he instinctively tilted his head and dodged sideways.

Chu Yuan and Cheng Xin seized the chance to rush forward and drive the assassins back.

Seeing that only a lock of Cheng Chengxuan's hair had been sliced off, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention back to the assassins before them.

Inside the tent, another flurry of blade and sword shadows ensued.

Soon, the assassins were captured.

"What's the matter with you?"

Chu Yuan gave Cheng Chengxuan's shoulder a heavy pat and said irritably.

"You dare zone out during an assassination? Are you tired of living?!"

Yet this time Cheng Chengxuan did not retort, and his expression grew more and more panicked.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan looked at him with concern.

"Hey! Are you all right?"

Cheng Chengxuan still did not look at him; he kept rubbing his eyes, staring fixedly at the empty air, and muttering to himself.

"How could it disappear? Where did it go?"

Seeing something was off, Chu Yuan shouted at him again, louder.

"Cheng Chengxuan!"

"What are you thinking about?"

He looked toward Cheng Xin beside him.

"Go find Cheng Old Madam, quick! Your family's Young General seems to be possessed."

Hearing this, Cheng Chengxuan suddenly looked toward the outside.

"Right! Grandmother!"

He dashed out of the tent.

Chu Yuan, left standing there, scratched the back of his head in utter bewilderment.

"What's going on?"

Meanwhile, on hearing that assassins had broken in, Cheng Old Madam had also hurriedly changed her clothes and was about to head outside.

"Grandmother!"

In came Cheng Chengxuan, running in with a panicked look.

"Grandmother! I can't find Miss An!"

"What's happened?"

Cheng Old Madam's brows knitted slightly.

"Your grandson can explain later—could you go ask Yu'an whether he can still get in touch with Miss An?"

"All right, all right, don't panic. I'll head to the Farm right now."

In the farm.

Yu'an was spinning in frantic circles.

"Fairy Sister?"

"Fairy Sister!"

But no matter how many times he called, that gentle voice never answered him again.

The little fellow pressed his lips together, on the verge of tears.

What should he do?

Fairy Sister was gone.

"Yu'an."

Small Dumpling spun around abruptly and rushed over to hug his great-grandmother's thigh.

"Wuwuwu… Great-Grandmother, Yu'an can't find Fairy Sister anymore."

Just as expected!

Cheng Old Madam let out a heavy sigh.

Just as she had appeared without any warning back then, now she had also left without any sign.

She softly comforted her great-grandson a couple of times, then turned and left the farm.

Better tell Cheng Chengxuan as soon as possible.

Seeing her open her eyes, Cheng Chengxuan, who had been keeping watch at her side, tightly gripped her arm and asked anxiously.

"Grandmother, how is it?"

Meeting his hopeful gaze, Cheng Old Madam felt a moment of heartache.

She closed her eyes and shook her head.

Seeing this, the hand Cheng Chengxuan had on her arm suddenly loosened, the light in his eyes instantly extinguished, and his whole person visibly slumped in dejection.

"How could this happen?"

"Why so suddenly?"

Cheng Old Madam patted his shoulder.

"There would always come such a day. We both knew it in our hearts long ago, didn't we?"

Cheng Chengxuan lowered his head.

"Yes, I know very well. Everything you've said, I understand it all. I just…"

He looked at the upper-left corner of his vision.

The spot where the Light Screen had once flickered was now completely empty, as if a great hole had been torn in his heart.

Hollow and empty, the cold wind whooshed in, so cold…

He just hadn't expected this day to come so quickly.

Cheng Sitao at the side opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say to comfort him, and could only pat his shoulder in silent consolation.

As for An Luo.

The moment she saw the big truck right in front of her, she thought she was done for.

But unexpectedly, a sudden burst of strong light carried her from one godforsaken wilderness to another desolate mountain range.

"Where is this?"

"There won't be wild beasts, right?"

Thinking of this, she hugged her arms and shivered hard.

"There's light? That means there are people!"

The distant firelight dispelled some of her unease.

She couldn't rashly go up to them, but getting a little closer should at least be safer than spending the night alone in the wilderness, right?

Thinking this, she borrowed the moonlight and walked unevenly toward the place with the firelight.

From a distance it looked like a few bonfires, but up close, it turned out to be a Camp.

Just look at how they're dressed.

So she's come to ancient times?!

And the Armor they're wearing on their bodies, it looks so familiar?

"Who's there?!"

"Who's sneaking around over there?!"

An Luo had originally wanted to run, but that voice was just too familiar.

Assassins had broken into the Camp, so Cheng Feng and a few others had led people to search the Camp again.

Cheng Xin was just assigning tasks to the soldiers when he suddenly noticed a suspicious figure not far away, and immediately led a few men to rush over and grab the person.

"Cheng Xin!"

"Are you Cheng Xin?"

An Luo waved at him in pleasant surprise.

So she's transmigrated to Da Yin?

And right at the place where the Cheng Family Army is stationed!

Cheng Xin: "???"

What's going on?

Who is this girl? Dressed so strangely, and she knows me?

"You…"

He was just about to ask when he saw the other person take out a small pendant.

"If you're here, your family's Young General must be here too, right? Let's go! Hurry and take me to see Cheng Chengxuan!"

Seeing the appearance of that jade pendant, and the ring on her left index finger, Cheng Xin's eyes suddenly went wide.

"You! You're…"

Let's not even mention this pendant for now, just look at this ring.

He had seen the Young General staring at the ring and grinning foolishly more than once.

"Don't talk about that for now, hurry and take me to see Cheng Chengxuan."

"Oh oh oh, alright."

Just then, a clear and cold, yet slightly hoarse voice reached the ears of the few people.

"What happened?"

Cheng Chengxuan had originally come out to relax, noticed something happening over here, thought something had gone wrong again, and walked over to take a look.

He hadn't expected to actually see An Luo.

"Cheng…"

An Luo was just about to greet him when she felt a gust of wind rush toward her, and the next moment, she was hugged.

Lost and found again.

At this moment, Cheng Chengxuan was so overwhelmed with emotion that he nearly wanted to cry.

Cheng Xin quickly waved at the other few soldiers, and the group quietly retreated back to the Camp.

An Luo gently patted his back.

"What's wrong with you? Are you alright?"

In the place she couldn't see, Cheng Chengxuan blinked hard, dispelling the moisture in his eyes, then stepped back, placed both hands on her arms, and looked at her with focused and earnest attention.

"As long as you're here, I'm fine."

Meeting his gaze, An Luo's cheeks flushed hot, and she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

A person from ancient times is better at flirting than she, a person from the Modern Era.

This is unreasonable!
