The hall was extremely quiet, and even the players seemed to breathe more softly.
Yang Chenyan showed no signs of guilt for taking someone else’s seat. Under Yang Chenjin’s gloomy gaze, he spoke expressionlessly, “Second brother, you wouldn’t mind switching seats with me, would you?”
“How could I?” Yang Chenjin tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a fake smile. “Of course, I don’t mind.”
Everyone could tell that Yang Chenjin was clearly bothered, especially given how fake that smile was.
Both the seats on the left and right of Ruan Qing were already occupied, and there were no other available seats.
The problem was there were three people.
In fact, Ruan Qing felt his scalp go a little numb when Yang Wenmin sat down next to him.
He hadn’t forgotten the terrifying nature of this man.
Being close to him was definitely not a wise move.
In addition to the shocking conversation among the three of them last night, Ruan Qing didn’t want to stay in this position for even a second.
After Yang Chenjin finished speaking, Ruan Qing stood up and looked at him with a hint of hesitation. “How about... you sit here?”
Yang Chenjin paused for a moment and revealed a gentle smile. “Is it okay?”
Ruan Qing nodded, then left the seat and sat in the empty one next to Shen Baiyue.
After a ‘thank you’ from Yang Chenjin, he directly sat between Yang Wenmin and Yang Chenyan.
The three of them sat side by side.
While Ruan Qing and Shen Baiyue sat, the players also remained in their original positions. So, in reality, apart from the three people moving from the main seats to the side, there was no difference.
In other words, Yang Chenyan successfully took Yang Chenjin’s seat for nothing.
Yang Chenyan: “...”
Players: “...”
Even the audience in the live stream didn’t expect this bizarre development.
[My goodness, what a terrifying scene. I’m already suffocating. I knew the charm of the handsome brother was great, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent. Both the father and the sons are captivated. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to resist either.]
[Sob, sob, I really want to know what happened last night. Didn’t dad just come back yesterday afternoon? It can’t be what I’m thinking, right? Four people staying up all night in one night.]
[Four people staying up all night? The one who mentioned it earlier, please tell us in detail. I don’t mean anything else; it’s just that I have a friend who wants to know!]
[Fight! Fight! I love watching this kind of bloody scene. Killing one counts as one. By then, the wife will be mine alone. Hehe~]
Everyone present knew why Yang Chenjin would switch places with the young man.
It was obviously because he couldn’t sit beside the young, so everyone might as well not sit with him.
At this point, the atmosphere in the hall had shifted from being frozen to somewhat oppressive.
It was like the calm before a storm.
No, it couldn’t be called calm.
Because even the player furthest away could feel that dreadful sense of danger and oppression.
Even if Yang Chenyan and Yang Chenjin seemed ready to fight, in the end, they didn’t actually start a fight.
The three of them just sat there, expressionless.
The food on the table for everyone else was similar, except for Ruan Qing’s, as he was the only one who needed to take medicine.
After he changed seats, the food and medicine naturally remained in their original positions.
Now, taking the medicine was crucial for reviving Yang Chenfeng. The original owner would naturally strive to survive.
Even if Ruan Qing didn’t want to take it, he had to for the sake of not breaking his character setting.
He looked at the servant next to him and silently beckoned.
The servant hesitated upon seeing this, first looking at the three expressionless people.
Seeing that the three didn’t say anything, he cautiously approached.
“Mr. Yu, may I help you with something?” The servant stood beside Ruan Qing and asked in a low voice.
Ruan Qing also lowered his voice politely. “Could you please bring my medicine over? Thank you.”
Upon hearing Ruan Qing’s request, the servant fell into silence. He looked at the medicine in front of Yang Chenjin and then at the people sitting on both sides.
He didn’t dare to go over and fetch the medicine.
Not to mention fetching the medicine, he didn’t dare to approach at all.
After all, the three of them didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
The servant hesitated for a moment, then ultimately turned to the steward beside him.
Steward: “...” What are you looking at him for?
Would he dare?
Who would dare to go over at a time like this?
Fortunately, Yang Chenjin also heard Ruan Qing’s words. He directly picked up the medicine in front of him, stood up, and walked over to Ruan Qing’s side.
He gently placed the medicine in front of Ruan Qing.
Then, very naturally, he sat down next to Ruan Qing.
Players immediately looked towards Yang Wenmin and Yang Chenyan.
Although Yang Wenmin’s expression showed no obvious change, Yang Chenyan’s face darkened instantly.
As if it had been dipped in ink.
Ruan Qing noticed, but he pretended not to see. After thanking Yang Chenjin, he picked up the medicine, scooped up a spoonful, and put it into his mouth with difficulty.
No matter how many times he ate it, Ruan Qing couldn’t get used to the unpleasant taste of the medicine.
He continued to eat while struggling not to vomit.
In the end, he even coughed up traces of blood.
Players at the dining table were somewhat shocked.
They knew he was poisoned, but they didn’t expect it to be this severe.
Seeing this, Feng Ye frowned, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
Yang Chenjin also frowned. He looked at the person whose complexion was even paler than yesterday and fell silent, his fists clenching slightly.
The atmosphere at the dining table became even more oppressive.
In the end, Ruan Qing managed to finish the medicine, although most of it went to waste.
The appetites of the other people at the table seemed to be affected, and they quickly finished their meals.
This was already the third day, and the time in the dungeon was about to be halfway through.
However, they hadn’t found any leads yet.
They didn’t have much time to waste anymore.
Players began planning to go to the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of the Yang family mansion or go to the Yang family cemetery to take a look.
***
Given Ruan Qing’s frail health, the doctor clearly wouldn’t allow him to go searching for any clues.
So after taking the medicine, he returned to his room and then entered the body of that male player.
The scene in front of him changed. It was on the fourth floor of the mansion.
Ruan Qing looked carefully, and indeed it was on the fourth floor of the mansion.
Most players had come up, except for that player similar to the advanced male player.
Even Shen Baiyue was among them.
Ruan Qing couldn’t quite understand why these people brought Shen Baiyue with them.
Did they already find out about Shen Baiyue’s uniqueness?
It was a possibility.
Moreover, Shen Baiyue’s combat power was not low, bringing her along was not considered a burden.
After the three from the Yang family finished lunch, they walked outside the mansion, not knowing what they were going to do.
So at this time, there was no one on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors.
Players cautiously observed the fourth floor and eventually entered the study.
Ruan Qing became nervous seeing this; last night, because Yang Chenyan and the others came back too quickly, he didn’t have time to hide.
Naturally, he couldn’t hide the tablet in time, either.
He just casually hid it under the table.
i feel like he could pass any of the worlds with super strong hosts by just submitting the answer "my husband/future husband" and even if the system considers it wrong, the host would overwrite it like "no he's right, that's me"
