Chapter 340 – The Trap (Part Two)

The two turned around only to find Ming Siye heading toward the cave on his own.

“Hey, Second Young Master, where are you going? Didn’t they say we can’t go there?”

Heishui Cheng couldn’t help calling out, but Ming Siye seemed angry as he walked away without looking back: “I’m going to the spot I found myself. Ye Yunxi, I’ll prove that I’m not inferior to you!”

Was he still upset about losing the competition??

“But it’s too dangerous over there!”

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Jingchen pulled him back: “Let him go.”

“Seriously? What’s Second Young Master sulking about now??”

“I heard from my brother that Ming Da Shao locked him up for special training for a whole week.”

“Just because he ranked last in Ancient Martial Arts this time??”

Heishui Cheng found it unbelievable.

“Yeah, Second Young Master must be under a lot of pressure. Ming Da Shao is famously unyielding.”

Thinking of Ming Siye’s older brother, Bai Jingchen could only smile wryly.

Though the Ming family’s young master was cold and strict, he managed the Ming Residence with perfect order. One could say that without Ming Siyao, the Ming family wouldn’t enjoy its current prosperity.

“Junior, where should we set up the trap?”

Ye Yunxi stared in the direction Ming Siye had left, curling her lips slightly.

“Follow me!”

Traps should naturally be placed where they’ll be most effective!

However, when the two men witnessed Ye Yunxi calculating precise angles and data without any sophisticated instruments, they suddenly felt utterly useless!!

“My god, this… this Ye Yunxi is just too incredible!”

Heishui Cheng was going crazy: “Even more accurate than using a ruler!!”

“Bai Jingchen, pinch me quickly, am I dreaming??”

Bai Jingchen adjusted his glasses, his gaze deepening: “No… you’re not dreaming. Our trump card truly is an unexpectedly powerful one!”

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

  [Ding! Prestige +10!]

The two became energized and joined in the trap construction.

When night fell completely, the three of them hid among the dense branches of an ancient tree.

This mountain range had many towering ancient trees, which conveniently provided cover for Ye Yunxi and her companions.

Everything around was pitch black, impossible to see clearly. Even the lookout openings they’d specially created revealed nothing but darkness.

They had no advanced equipment—no night vision goggles, no thermal scopes—everything relied solely on their experience and eyesight.

“Junior, are you sure someone will come?”

Ye Yunxi curled her lips.

“Certain. Let’s sleep. When people arrive, someone will wake us up!”

After saying this, Ye Yunxi simply lay down in the prepared nest of branches—this bird’s nest-like structure was their campsite for the night.

“Sl-sleep??”

Heishui Cheng looked utterly bewildered. During such a tense competition period, sleep??

What if we get ambushed?? Do we really not need anyone on night watch??

What if all three of us get taken out at once??

We used to at least rank in the teens—are we destined for last place this time??

Is this how our so-called trump card is supposed to work??

“Sh-shouldn’t we arrange night watch?”

Heishui Cheng timidly raised his hand.

“No need.”

Ye Yunxi closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Heishui Cheng looked at Bai Jingchen. Young Master Bai was even more direct—taking off his glasses and draping on his outerwear before settling down to sleep~~

Damn… Do they really have to be this carefree??You’re really going to sleep just like that?!

“Can’t sleep? Want me to hold you and sing another lullaby?” Bai Jingchen asked with a squinting smile.

Heishui Cheng flipped him off!!

Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!
