The Heaven and Earth Lock, once opened, divided into four irregular pieces that spread out in four directions.
Each piece could then separate into three more segments, each extending in three different directions.
What was originally completely irregular, upon unfolding entirely, formed a flat plane.
"There are indeed patterns on the top!"
Chu Qianli examined closely. The areas stained by Feng Yexuan's blood revealed some intricate lines.
She took out a magnifying glass and, upon enlarging, the patterns finally became clear.
It was truly a map!
"But..." Chu Wang glanced at Feng Yexuan again, his gaze filled with an indescribable strangeness. "It seems... patterns only appear where his blood has stained, and other areas are empty?"
Chu Qianli also looked up, at Feng Yexuan standing beside her.
She had intended to say something, but in the next second, she was struck by the aura emanating from Prince Xuan.
It seemed... she hadn't stood so quietly beside him in a long time.
To see clearly the magnified content, Feng Yexuan was slightly bent over, and as everyone gathered together, their distance became very close.
There was even a feeling of being almost touching.
She didn't know why, but the moment she looked up, she became stunned.
It was as if, in an instant, she had fallen into some state, gazing foolishly into his eyes, completely forgetting what the world was like.
How long had it been since she had truly looked at him?
"...Xiao Li'er... Xiao Li'er?" Chu Wang was almost infuriated by the two of them.
Wasn't this a critical moment? They were staring at each other, as if frozen, neither moving?
Had they acupunctured each other?
"Xiao Li'er! Xiao Xuanzi! Can we resolve this matter first?"
Chu Wang wasn't impatient, but rather somewhat flustered.
What if these two started getting intimate right here, oblivious to others? Would he move away or not?
Must they be so infatuated?
Feng Yexuan was the first to regain his senses and immediately withdrew his gaze.
Chu Qianli was almost scared to death by herself!
Upon realizing what she had just done, her small face instantly flushed red, so ashamed she wished she could burrow into a hole and only emerge when no one else was in the room.
She had never felt so disheveled!
She had actually lost herself gazing at a handsome man.
Feng Yexuan cleared his throat. Although the tips of his ears were also a little warm, his exceptionally handsome face remained expressionless.
"If you like looking, tonight... after that fellow leaves, this Prince will let you look to your heart's content."
These words made Chu Qianli's face even hotter.
Just as she was about to retort, Feng Yexuan had already spoken first: "Now... the matter at hand is more important."
Chu Qianli opened her mouth, but could not speak.
So awkward!
Chu Wang, preoccupied with the treasure map, had no inclination to tease them.
Thus, this unintentionally awkward atmosphere was instantly dispelled.
"Does the pattern only appear where Xiao Xuanzi's blood has stained?" Chu Wang asked Chu Qianli.
Although, in reality, Chu Qianli knew nothing about the Heaven and Earth Lock.
But Chu Wang felt that if he didn't understand something, Chu Li'er was the right person to ask.
Chu Qianli indeed did not understand.
"It's simple, we'll know by trying."
She grasped Feng Yexuan's hand and smeared the bloodstain on his hand onto the unfolded plane of the Heaven and Earth Lock.
In the next moment, the plane, which had been blank, indeed began to reveal a pattern.
