"Xixi, are you interested?" He TanTan asked.

Yún Qíng shook her head. "I'm not interested."

She also likes magic. She studied it for a while, but later found that most simple tricks could be replicated by herself. As for the complex ones, with a little thought, she could figure out the principles behind them as well.

From then on, she lost interest in magic.

However, He TanTan's personality is completely different from YunQingXi. She has a certain obsession with magic.

"Why don't I go?" He Tiantian suggested.

Yun Qing nodded: "Well, have fun."

Then He Tanran also raised her hand to signal. Yun Rong's gaze shifted to He Tanran, and he extended a slender, distinctly boned hand towards her: "May I ask this young lady in the blue dress?"

He Tiantian was wearing a light blue puffy skirt, which was extremely cute.

She stepped onto the stage, Yun Rong took her hand and led her to the center of the stage, covering her with a large black curtain.

From afar, Ye Xuan sensed a hint in Yu Shao's eyes.

How did he feel that when the magician held Miss Tiantian's hand, "Young Master Yu" seemed a little unhappy?

This is really strange...

On stage, the magic performance was in progress. Yun Rong made a simple gesture, and fireworks bloomed instantly between his fingers.

The fireworks were incredibly beautiful, transforming into brilliant flames every now and then, controlled effortlessly by Yun Rong's hand. At this moment, he seemed to hold a fire-breathing dragon in his grasp.

The audience erupted in cheers and applause, wave after wave of excitement.

Yún Qíng xī kàn le yī huì ér, juédé yǒu chēng wú qù.

This magic trick is more hype than substance, using simple means to attract attention. She doesn't really care for it.

Soon, Yun Rong turned and walked toward the curtain that hid He TanTan.

"Miss behind the curtain, could you give me your hand?" he asked.

The voice was full of temptation, very magnetic.

Then He Tiantian stretched out a hand.

Yun Rong squeezed that hand. "Good, that's enough. Now please put your hand back."

Then the hand retracted.

Yun Qingxi frowned.

She could tell it wasn't He Tiantian's hand. He Tiantian always wore a string of crystal bracelets given by Little Warm Auntie, but the wrist of the hand just now didn't have any bracelets.

Perhaps it's the need for magic, but many magic tricks are actually performed by multiple people working together. The reason they choose to involve the audience in the magic is to make it feel more real.

And those selected audience members, they actually don't need to participate in too many important parts of the process. They just need to cooperate and do some simple actions.

Yúnqíng xī guī cè, Hé Tiētiē zhège shíhòu shìng yī bāo qù hòitái le, yòu huò zhèng dǒu zài tái xià de mǒyīgè ànmén hòutóu děng zhè chū lù miàn……

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Yun Rong take a samurai sword from the hands of a staff member.

The blade glinted coldly, clearly sharpened.

He first used the knife to chop a piece of wood that the worker had handed over. The wood was chopped off with one blow, enough to prove how sharp the knife was.

Then, he plunged the knife into the curtain.

At this moment, Yun Qingxi clearly saw a flicker of anxiety on "Ye Ziyu"'s face beside her.

However, there was no response from behind the curtain. Yun Rong directly cut through the curtain. As the bottom half of the curtain fell away, a pair of legs were revealed. There was indeed someone hiding behind it.

Yun Rong suddenly raised his hand slightly.

After a burst of dazzling sparks, Yúnróng's hand emerged from the smoke, clutching a cluster of white steam. Within the haze, he fiercely tore away the black curtain.

Behind the curtain, it became empty in an instant.

He sweet, who was still here just a second ago, just disappeared!

The crowd erupted in cheers. This magic trick was impressive to watch on TV, but seeing it performed right before your eyes was an entirely different level of awe-inspiring.

Yun Rong waved to the crowd, circled the stage once, and returned to the center.

He lifted the curtain and yanked it upwards.

The curtain fell, and what disappeared wasn't just He TanTan, but also Yun Rong himself.

Only white smoke and some ash from fireworks remained on the stage.

The crowd erupted in applause once more, but "Ye Ziyu" felt something was amiss.

He strode toward the backstage, and the guests came to their senses, making way for him.

Clouds cleared, then followed closely behind. She trailed after him backstage. Right behind her was "Ye Zi Rui."

When the three arrived backstage, there was no one here at all. A door leading outside had been opened sometime, and outside was pitch black with not a single figure in sight.

"Ye Ziyu" immediately changed color.

Yun Qingxi heard strange noises coming from a corner and hurried over. She discovered several workers tied up in the shadows, their mouths gagged.

One of them, very obviously not a staff member, is the magician Yun Rong!

"What's going on here!" Yunyaoxi ripped the tape off Yunrong's mouth.

"I... I don't know what happened. As soon as I got backstage, I smelled something strange and then I fainted. When I woke up, I was tied up and my mouth was covered with tape," Yun Rong said.

Yun Qingxi immediately understood: "So the one who just performed on stage wasn't you?"

"What?" Yunrong looked at her in even more surprise, "Someone just performed on stage?"

The clear sky... she saw his expression didn't seem like he was lying. She found a pair of scissors from the dressing table, cut off the rope tied on his hands, and then untied the other workers as well.

Several staff members' accounts align with Yunrong's.

"Just now that 'Yunrong' was wearing a mask, everyone couldn't see his face, so... it is indeed possible that someone impersonated him." Yunqingxi said to "Yeziziyu."

At this time, Ye Xuan and Ye Qiu also realized something was wrong and rushed over.

After instructing his men to find He Tiantian's whereabouts, Ye Xuan looked at "Ye Zi Rui" with a face full of guilt: "Young Master Rui, this time it was my oversight. The roads near the manor have been blocked, and I will definitely do my best to find Miss He as soon as possible!"

"You have the wrong person." "Ye Zi Rui" pointed to "Ye Zi Yu" beside him, "This is Young Master Rui."

After he finished speaking, he took off his coat. Underneath was a light grey shirt.

Ye Zi Rui usually wears white shirts, only Ye Zi Yu wears gray shirts.

Ye Xuan's mouth instantly became an "O" shape, but he didn't stay surprised for long. He quickly came to his senses and said to the real Ye ZiRui.

"Young Master Rui, taking Miss Tiantian away from this manor is no easy feat. Whoever did this must have been planning for a long time. The Blood Pact Hall will start by investigating those in the know, especially those who knew exactly about every detail of this party..."

Ye Zi Rui's face was unusually cold: "Before we find Sweetheart, no one here is allowed to leave!"
