Chapter 189 How to Solve This (1/2)

Ruan Tang lightly tapped the animal skin scroll with her fingertips, a calculating glint flashing in her large, almond-shaped eyes.

"A carrier of energy..." she murmured to herself, then looked up at the white snow outside the window and voiced her thoughts.

"Brother, look at this weather! It's so cold it could freeze your chin off. Logically speaking, who would choose to go into the mountains to work in this awful weather?"

"I guess they probably want to wait until spring, when everyone is busy in the fields and their eyes are on the crops, and no one will have time to go to the mountains, so they can secretly get things done."

This analysis reflects the common sense of ordinary people.

But Yan Yu is no ordinary person.

His deep black eyes swept over the red circles on the map. A habit he developed in the apocalypse allowed him to always see blind spots that others couldn't.

He tightened his arms slightly, pressing the soft, fragrant girl in his arms closer to him, wrapping her tightly in his burning chest.

His deep voice rang out above her head, carrying an undeniable calmness.

"No. If it were me, I would choose now."

Ruan Tang exclaimed "Huh?" and looked up with her small, palm-sized face in confusion.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes, met her almond-shaped eyes filled with question marks, and patiently rubbed her head.

"First, truly capable people are not afraid of this little bit of wind and snow."

"Secondly, this kind of awful weather is the best cover-up. Even if you make a huge commotion on the mountain, a heavy snowfall will wipe away all traces of it."

He paused, then said the most crucial point.

"Third, and most importantly. Right now it's freezing cold, so who would go up the mountain except for reckless hunters? But it's different in the spring. There will always be kids with a sweet tooth going to raid bird nests, and old people digging for wild vegetables wandering in. With more people, there are more variables."

"The more impossible something seems to everyone, the safer it is."

These few words, devoid of emotion, caused a sudden "buzz" in Ruan Tang's mind.

She froze completely.

yes!

How could she forget that her brother had fought his way out of a cannibalistic apocalypse? How could she possibly guess his thoughts using common sense?

And those enemies who dare to set up such a treacherous formation on Yan Kingdom's territory, can they be kind-hearted?

They are probably more cunning and ruthless than she imagined!

Ruan Tang's face tightened instantly, and she nodded vigorously, completely convinced by Yan Yu.

But new problems have emerged.

"Then... what can we do now?" Her delicate eyebrows furrowed into a small knot, and her voice carried a hint of confusion.

Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump? You don't even know which way the rabbit will come from.

Taking the initiative? We were completely clueless.

This feeling of being left to wait left her feeling empty and a little panicked.

Just then, an extremely subtle feeling came from the small Ruomu tree deep within her sea of ​​consciousness.

The sensation flowed along her meridians, like a warm current, silently coursing through her entire body.

It's neither an alarm nor a urging.

It's like a kind of... resonance.

It was as if this land, whose life had been stolen, was conveying to her a faint yet incredibly firm thought through Ruomu.

Ruan Tang was stunned.

She told Yan Yu, who was behind her, about this wonderful feeling in detail.

“Brother, I can’t explain it, it’s just a gut feeling. I feel like we have to get involved in this. It’s like… it’s like the world is begging us for help.”

"If we help it solve this big problem, it will definitely be of great benefit to us and to Ruomu!"

Although she was not yet clear about the specific benefits, the cultivator's perception of the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao could not be faked.

Yan Yu listened without even blinking, showing no doubt whatsoever.
