Chapter 177 Concern
At first, the sound was incredibly faint, as if drifting slowly from the vast, unreachable horizon. However, as people listened intently, it seemed to instantly transcend the barriers of time and space, suddenly becoming crystal clear, as if lingering right next to their ears, close enough to touch. Such a strange and elusive sound couldn't help but stir up doubt and curiosity, while also feeling an indescribable sense of mystery.
With the sudden resounding of this voice, the previously tranquil and peaceful atmosphere was like a stone dropped into a mirror-like lake, instantly rippling with ripples that spread at an alarming rate. The previously peaceful environment began to tremble slightly, and a subtle sense of tension permeated the air, like an invisible net quietly enveloping the surroundings, causing one's heart rate to accelerate and their breathing to become increasingly rapid.
“It’s that man”
Lu Yan's eyes were like two burning flames, staring intently at the front, and that scorching gaze seemed to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
His lips trembled slightly and he muttered something. Although the voice was neither loud nor soft, it was just enough to reach the ears of Fang Congyi who was standing next to him.
However, what was extremely surprising was that Fang Congyi stood there motionless and silent, like a lifelike sculpture. His upright figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, forming a unique landscape.
Facing Lu Yan's endless and passionate words, Fang Congyi seemed to be oblivious to them, without any response or expression. His once handsome face was now expressionless, as if frozen, without any trace of emotion.
His deep eyes, in particular, seemed hollow and lost, as if he had lost his soul. His gaze gazed straight into the distance, seemingly transcending the scene before him, completely immersed in his own mysterious world. The hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to have ceased to exist for him at this moment. He was completely isolated from the real world, making it difficult to understand his true thoughts.
Yet, Lu Yan's mind was like an incredibly clear mirror, reflecting everything with crystal clarity. He knew full well that Fang Congyi was no ordinary man. His acute awareness of changes in his surroundings, in particular, was beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was as if he possessed an innate talent, easily detecting even the slightest movement, the faintest aura. This preternatural perception allowed him to react swiftly in ever-changing situations, seize opportunities, and remain invincible. This was precisely what inspired both awe and fear in Fang Congyi.
Therefore, Lu Yan was always convinced that Fang Congyi's superhuman, cheetah-like sharp insight meant that he absolutely could not have been oblivious to what he had just said. You know, it was like a hungry cheetah spotting the tracks of its prey in the grass, which was as obvious as its keen perception.
Yet, puzzlingly, despite this, Fang Congyi remained silent. Lu Yan couldn't help but wonder, what had driven Fang Congyi to such a decision? Was there some hidden secret or hardship? Or was he brewing some far-reaching strategy or plan? All sorts of speculations flooded Lu Yan's mind. Regardless, Fang Congyi before him was like an unfathomable iceberg, making it difficult to glimpse into his true inner thoughts.
"I didn't expect that!"
Lu Yan stood there, feeling a mixture of emotions, and he couldn't help but sigh. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly, as if carrying a heavy burden. His handsome face, usually brimming with confidence and charm, now seemed shrouded in a thick haze, appearing dull and lifeless.
A feeling of helplessness surged into his heart like a tide, making his face even uglier, and even a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He raised his hand and gently rubbed his temple, trying to ease the anxiety and fatigue in his heart, but it all seemed in vain.
"This is such a thorny matter!" Lu Yan muttered to himself, his voice filled with frustration and confusion. They had been toiling away on this matter for ages, expending countless hours and energy, yet, even now, they had yet to achieve a clear and satisfactory result. This feeling of being clueless and aimless made him feel incredibly depressed, as if he were trapped in a dark fog, unable to find a way out.
Lu Yan frowned slightly, thinking to himself. At this moment, the surroundings were filled with an oppressive atmosphere, as if even the air had solidified, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.
However, in this dead silence, a slight laugh suddenly came.
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a meteor across the night sky, instantly breaking the surrounding dullness and tranquility.
Lu Yan couldn't help but feel surprised. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw the man named A Ming opened the door and leaned against the door frame.
He was covering his mouth with one hand, as if trying hard to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out.
Even so, he still couldn't completely control himself, and from time to time, a few "puffing" sounds came out from between his fingers. What was even more eye-catching was that Ah Ming's eyes were flashing with an unconcealable playful light, as if he had discovered some extremely interesting secret;
At the same time, there was a smile of immense satisfaction hanging leisurely on his face. That smile seemed to be stuck firmly on his cheek like glue, and it was difficult to fade away no matter what.
I remember when Bi Yaoyao first came, the sky was still bright and the sun was shining all over the earth.
However, at this moment, time flies by like a white horse passing by, and the bright moon has quietly climbed up to the treetops, spreading its silver light to this quiet world.
The moonlight is like water, gently caressing everything on the earth, adding a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere to the whole scene.
"Oh!" Ming couldn't help but exclaim. He had never expected time to pass so quickly. Before he knew it, it was already so late at night. His eyes, which had been somewhat lazy at first, began to move slowly, as if searching for something.
