Chapter 305

This One is a Counterfeit (1)

Ye Mu was speechless. Right then, her mind was in chaos. This contradicted all her previous knowledge from before. She felt her body collapsing as a her brain held chaotic thoughts,

What if she obtained the City Boundary map, and still couldn’t return… Then all her hard work was for nothing, and it would have all been a joke…

Why am I not able to return? Why?!

She couldn’t figure it out. Seeing how stunned she had become, Mo Linyuan quickly grabbed tightly on her shoulders,

“Ye Mu!”

Ye Mu mournfully glanced over at Mo Linyuan, but her eyes were glazed over.

“Look at me!”

Mo Linyuan was more grave than ever, which caused Ye Mu to refocus on him.

“Don’t you want to know, why is it that you cannot return?”

He originally wanted contemptuous, but when Mo Linyuan saw how devastated she looked, his lips held an inexplicable bitterness instead.

Ye Mu pursed her lips and looked at him with red eyes. She truly wanted to know, why is it that she cannot return!

Mo Linyuan let out a long sigh

“That’s because this piece of the City Boundary map is a counterfeit. Of course you cannot return with it.”

Ye Mu immediately became more sober!

Counterfeit? This piece of the City Boundary map is fake?

Seeing how doubtful Ye Mu was, the formidable Mo Linyuan let out another long breath of sigh.

“Think about it, the Zhao Country already knew I was looking for the last piece of the map. Suppose they found it: why would they give it to me so easily?”

Ye Mu paused, then turned to peek at him, “Then this portion of the map…”

Ye Mu sighed. She had already hurt Mo Linyuans feelings. At this point, she would simply make it worse if she spoke anymore on the matter.

A while later, Mo Linyuan suddenly retreated a few steps.

His retreat was a reflection of his attitude then.

Originally, he should have been fumingly angry. However, he already knew in his heart that anger wouldn’t solve the problem. When conflicting views arised, he had to come up with a conflicting solution. That way, he would be able to devise the most suitable response to solve it and avoid producing the opposite of his desired result.

“Do you know why I fabricated this fake map…?”

Mo Linyuan abruptly changed the subject, which made Ye Mu feel relieved and a little burdened at the same time.

“…You want to wait for Zhao Minyu to try and steal it?’
