At that moment, he felt he was about to get Guo Meiyu!

However, Xu Gang soon had to stop...

The reason he stopped was because he clearly sensed a hint of threatening aura...

Subconsciously turning his head, he saw the Treasure-hunting Rabbit staring at him with a face full of resentment.

Feeling that absolute resentment, Xu Gang's face looked very unpleasant!

He knew that if he really did something to Guo Meiyu now, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit would definitely hold a grudge against him for life.

"What a hassle! It seems I'll have to completely subdue the Treasure-hunting Rabbit before getting her!"

Thinking thus, Xu Gang looked at Guo Meiyu and said arrogantly, "Originally, I wanted to get intimate with you here, but now, never mind. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so get cleaned up and wait for me!"

Having said this, he quickly disappeared!

Along with him, the previously captured Treasure-hunting Rabbit also disappeared...

"This... I must hurry and tell Xiaobei about this!"

After realizing this, Guo Meiyu quickly dialed Hu Xiaobei's phone...

But unfortunately, no one answered the call...

...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know what was happening here, and was currently looking around the trapped array...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei found the weak point of the array at the ten o'clock direction...

In that instant, his heart sank...

He knew that since there was a weak point, Xu Gang might really have left from there earlier...

"Ever since earlier, I've had a bad feeling, could it be..."

While thinking wildly, Hu Xiaobei heard some comforting words!

"You don't need to look so upset! If we can't find Xu Gang, then so be it. I never liked him anyway!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, who was comforting him, and continued, "If we can't find him, it's going to be tough to explain! When the elder left earlier, he specifically instructed us to search thoroughly and not to overlook any clues!"

"Hard to explain? Hard to explain my ass, do you think the elder really cares about that damn thing's well-being?"

Hearing such mockery, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and feigned surprise, "Hmm? He doesn't care?"

"He definitely doesn't care! There are so many young people in our family now, missing one doesn't bother him. The reason he's so earnestly looking for clues now is because he thinks Xu Gang might have found the weak point of the array and left from here, so he wants to take this chance to find that weak spot and also escape this prison!"

Hearing this analysis, Hu Xiaobei's heart sank...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei asked curiously, pretending to be puzzled, "Previously, our family had a great understanding of arrays, didn't we? How come we can't break this trapped array now!"

Hu Xiaobei was genuinely curious about this!

According to what Xie Ling'er said earlier, the Xie Family controlled so many arrays because they had found many Array Books here...

Since they were found here, that meant those Array Books were the Xu Family's, so the Xu Family should definitely be very skilled in arrays!

But the situation now seemed not to be the case...

"This problem... you should be aware of. Oh, right, you're from a branch of the family and aren't aware of the family's history, so it's normal for you to ask this question now!"

As Xu Yuan spoke, he began to explain!

Originally, the Xu Family was indeed very skilled in arrays in the past!

However, later, due to a once-in-a-lifetime war, all the books about arrays in the family were lost!

Since then, the Array Masters in the Xu Family quickly vanished...

Now, they had declined to an extreme, really, anyone with even a little knowledge of arrays could receive absolute preferential treatment in the Xu Family.

After knowing this situation, Hu Xiaobei had some thoughts...

Half an hour later, there were gradually some complaints...

Because they had been searching for half an hour and found nothing!

"Where on earth did Xu Gang go!"

"Exactly, we can't find him at all!"

"You're right!"

Hu Xiaobei heard these murmurs and sneered...

In his eyes, these people were truly idiots!

Thus, even if they searched their entire lives, they really wouldn't find anything...

"Oh my, trouble! It's almost time for the distribution of aid! Shouldn't we go and collect the aid?"

At that moment, one of them glanced at the time and suddenly exclaimed...

The others' faces changed slightly when they heard this...

Hu Xiaobei glanced at Xu Yuan, whose face also didn't look very good, and said, "What does this so-called aid mean? Why haven't I heard about it before?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's query, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This sponsorship is a fortune the family gives to all young people! Right now, we're trapped here, resources are in dire shortage, so we rely on the family's sponsorship to get by every day. If we miss the collection time, we won't get today's sponsorship!"

"That's tough!"

"Yes!"

Xu Yuan nodded, looked around briefly, and his eyes lit up.

After that, he gently clapped his hands...

After attracting everyone's attention, he began, "Everyone, why don't we go get the sponsorship, and then come back here after collecting it, how about that?"

"That sounds great! But what if the elder returns while we're gone and can't find us?"

"Exactly!"

They all were very worried!

On one hand, they really wanted to collect the sponsorship; on the other hand, they were genuinely afraid of displeasing the elder!

Xu Yuan chuckled and directly said, "Haha, it's simple! We'll just leave someone here to keep searching while we're gone, so it'll be easy to explain when the elder comes back."

"That... That does sound good, but who would want to stay?"

"Exactly, if the person isn't there, they won't get any sponsorship!"

"Right!"

Now, the Xu Family was in a terrible state!

So, they didn't want to waste even a tiny bit of resources!

Because of this, if the young people didn't go in person, it was impossible to get any resources.

"We can just have this family member stay behind!"

As Xu Yuan said this, he pointed at Hu Xiaobei...

Instantly, everyone looked over!

At that moment, everyone's heart twitched slightly...

They knew that this young man had yet to register with the family, so he wouldn't be able to collect the sponsorship even if he went...

"I stay behind? Why? Shouldn't I go and register with the family right now, and collect it while I'm there?"

Although Hu Xiaobei really wanted to stay back, he still pretended to be annoyed as he spoke.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Xu Yuan glanced at them and said, "Brother, it's like this now! Registering will take a long time, and you wouldn't be able to collect the sponsorship by then!"

"Exactly!"

"This time, you definitely can't collect it!"

"Right!"

Upon hearing Xu Yuan's words, everyone quickly chimed in...

Truth be told, the registration process could be completed quite quickly now, but they didn't want Hu Xiaobei to go through with it.

Because if he left, then no one would be here to oversee!

Also, if he registered, resources would have to be distributed to him, decreasing everyone else's share...

They all felt there weren't enough resources already, so naturally, they didn't want another person splitting what was theirs...

"Every man for himself, heaven will not spare him!"

Once Hu Xiaobei understood their intentions, he sneered...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "Since it's like this, then I'll just stay here for now!"

"Right, we won't forget your help later!"

"Exactly!"

"Definitely not!"

Hearing their assurances, Hu Xiaobei put on an excited expression and said, "Right, you better hurry then!"

"Right! We'll be back as soon as we can!"

With that, they quickly ran off!

Watching this unfold, Hu Xiaobei sneered again...

Hu Xiaobei knew they were scheming against him, but he didn't mind because he was plotting against them as well...

Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had wanted to completely repair this weak point, but it was not convenient with those people here...

Now that they had left, he could take action...

Hu Xiaobei knew that Xu Gang might truly have left through this weak point, so he planned to seal it off completely.

This would prevent others from leaving and also prevent the departed Xu Gang from returning...

Once he had completely sealed it, he could leave to find Xu Gang and kill him once and for all...

While Hu Xiaobei was thinking this through, the Xu Gang who had captured the Treasure-hunting Rabbit was merrily preparing to return to the family...
