The time flow in this place was different. Actually, there was no difference between day and night. It was always dark and gloomy. There were incomparably hard stone walls on all four sides, and dark clouds hung in the sky. The only thing moving in this stillness was an open lake.

People had dived to the bottom of the lake to investigate, but no one came back up. All of them drowned in the lake. After that, the people here dared not go down easily. If they had no other choice, they would only swim briefly on the shore and return in less than fifteen minutes.

No one knew what was in the lake, but they were certain that there were fish in it. Otherwise, all of them would have starved to death.

Xue Fanxin understood how strange this place was from Gu Jinyuan, especially that lake. She felt that it was not simple.

She did not know how long she would be trapped here. Her food stocks were limited, so they had to go out and find food. As the only source of food, they needed to study the lake thoroughly.

Ye Jiushang was going to enter seclusion. Apart from Xue Fanxin, no one was allowed to enter his room. Even she would not casually go there, lest she affected his cultivation. She moved to the other room to live with everyone. She hung a cloth curtain and isolated a small space, making it convenient for her and Fuyun to rest or change.

After settling the matter, everyone was tired. They made their beds in the medium-sized room and slept soundly, not caring even if the sky collapsed outside.

While they were sleeping, the people of the four great families were in a state of depression. Although they had exchanged quite a few things for food and eaten a relatively full meal, they realized that there was not much food left in their hands. This meant that it would not be long before they would starve again.

“This can’t go on. The food on Xue Fanxin’s side must be limited. We can’t count on her. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves.”

“We all know and understand this, but the fish in the lake are really too difficult to catch. Our people haven’t had any luck in two days. If this continues, we’ll starve to death sooner or later.”

“Anyway, we can’t figure out anything from that stone tablet. Let’s go to the lake tomorrow to take a look and think of a way to catch fish. We can’t just wait for our deaths.”

“About that stone tablet, do you think Xue Fanxin might be right?”

“Impossible. What fifty people? What game? How could such a ridiculous thing happen? Don’t believe that detestable girl.” When Third Master Xue thought of Xue Fanxin, he was enraged. Especially after filling his stomach, he really wanted to kill his way to Gu Jinyuan’s stone house and destroy her.

But when he thought of that young man, he did not have the courage.

On Yi Fentian’s side, the people were also dissatisfied and complained about Xue Fanxin and the others, especially Yi Fentian. Every time he thought of her indifferent attitude, and her aloof gaze, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.

Once he left this place, he would definitely use all means to snatch Xin’er back.

This woman originally belonged to him. If not for Ye Jiushang showing up and taking advantage of the situation, how could Xin’er have…

“Xin’er, you’ll belong to me sooner or later.”

Yi Fentian still did not know how much the decision today would affect him in the future. It would destroy his world.

However, this was all in the future.
