Under Xiahou Que's watchful eyes, Wang Yan walked to the crooked-neck tree. Xiahou Que's eyes widened, staring intently at Wang Yan as he passed under the tree, a look of excitement in his eyes.
However, Wang Yan safely walked under the crooked-neck tree, without anything unusual happening.
Xiahou Que was stunned. There was a cleverly designed trap under the crooked-neck tree, which he himself set up the previous night. Why hadn't it worked?
As Xiahou Que was puzzled, Beiming Xue followed Wang Yan and approached the crooked-neck tree.
Xiahou Que immediately thought to himself, "Hmph, couldn't catch Wang Yan, but catching Beiming Xue is just as good. That ungrateful wretch, today I'll embarrass you in front of everyone, let's see how you act all high and mighty."
Yet, under Xiahou Que's gaze, Beiming Xue also passed safely under the crooked-neck tree, with the trap showing no reaction.
