Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"It doesn't matter, please start your performance."

Gracia pointed at Yehhe, signaling to Garcia that she could begin.

"Ah."

Garcia slowly sat up straight. She didn't mind letting this junior see what real skills were.

But the problem is, it’s no longer appropriate.

After realizing Gracia's background, Garcia realized that his plan for Yehe should have been exposed by these "Ashleys".

Her top priority was to confirm whether Ye He was disgusted by her designs in his heart. If she had already angered Ye He without realizing it, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

When looking at Gracia, Garcia had already sorted out his thoughts and thought of a countermeasure.

So when she looked at Ye He, she already had an idea in her mind, and she said to Ye He:
"Want to see the show I prepared for you?"

Gracia immediately realized something was wrong and frowned.

Sure enough, Ye He raised his eyebrows, nodded to Garcia, and said "hmm".

He is a person who puts "interest" above all else, and "fun" is more important to him than anything else, so Garcia took advantage of this and used the so-called "show" to divert Ye He's suspicion of him.

And this is an open conspiracy. Even if Gracia sees through everything, she can't stop Garcia from carrying it out.

After getting Ye He's consent, Garcia deliberately glanced at Gracia, then raised his hand with a smile and snapped his fingers in the air.

"Snapped."

Some people, not sure whether they were Garcia or Congressman Stephen, received the signal immediately.

They activated some monster materials that had been placed in the club in advance and started a medium-sized transfer ritual.

With Ye He, Gracia and Garcia in this booth as the center, the surrounding time and space began to change. The next second, Ye He found himself in a sunny garden with birds singing and flowers blooming.

"here it is……"

Gracia was startled. The fear of this garden that she exuded was constantly telling Yehe that this was not a good place.

In fact, when the space-time transfer ended, Ye He also received a notification from his personal panel:

[You have entered a special maze: [The land of eternal clear skies - the back garden of Iveronza]! ]

[This maze can harvest emotional seeds. 】

[You can get corresponding rewards by solving puzzles in this maze. 】

[This maze is a rule-based maze. No one can use violence in this maze.]

"Oh? A maze?"

Ye He's eyes lit up. He hadn't entered a maze for a long time. He didn't expect that the "program" Garcia prepared for him would actually be a maze!
When entering the horror town before, Ye He thought that the horror town was a maze.

Later I discovered that it was just a special space that existed in reality, which was fundamentally different from the maze.

In short, after looking around the garden, Ye He looked at Garcia with satisfaction, waiting for her introduction.

"This is the land of eternal clear skies, the back garden of Florence. As you can see, the eternal clear sky is the main theme here."

There was no lie or problem with Garcia's first statement.

So even though Gracia was still looking at her warily, Ye He quickly regained her natural and relaxed state, as if she began to trust Garcia again.

This may be Garcia's purpose, or it may just be a prelude to make Ye He relax his vigilance.

She continued to introduce Ye He:
"The theme of this maze is to solve puzzles. For example, in the flower bed, you should have noticed that there is something wrong with the arrangement of the colors of the flowers, right?"

Following Garcia's finger, Yehe and Gracia saw the flower bed she was talking about.

There are two different types of flowers blooming in the flower bed, red and yellow.

But some red or yellow flowers appear very conspicuously among the flowers of another color, presenting an irregular mixture.

"Tuk-tuk."

Garcia knocked on the table in front of the three people, drawing Ye He and Gracia's attention back, allowing them to see the table that had turned into a transparent glass table.

On the table, some red and yellow glass blocks are inlaid on it, and there are rails for moving the glass blocks.

"Clap clap clap."

Garcia's fingers moved the blocks, though she could only move one glass block at a time in a very limited way.

However, he quickly swapped the positions of the glass cubes, and soon a shape with the same color and position as the flowers in the flower bed appeared on the table.

"Jingle Bell……"

As the pattern took shape, a sound like a summoning bell appeared in the air.

All the glass blocks automatically floated up and quickly formed a glass teapot and two glass teacups on the table.

The red and yellow tea appeared in the teapot. Garcia raised it and poured out the tea, then signaled to Yehe that he could enjoy it.

Ye He looked at the black tea with chrysanthemum petals floating in it, raised a cup and brought it directly to his mouth.

The fresh tea aroma with the scent of chrysanthemum immediately spread into Ye He's nostrils. He raised his eyebrows slightly and poured the tea into his mouth.

Hot...sweet...fragrant...it can be described as delicious!
But it seems that is all there is to it. It is just ordinary tea without any special effects. This is probably because the puzzle Garcia solved was too simple.

"That's it. Are you satisfied?"

Garcia was talking about the maze itself. Ye He glanced at her, put down the teacup, and shook his head at Garcia.

His action made Garcia's smile freeze on his face.

Unsatisfied? He is dissatisfied? Why?
The little girls from the Ashley family are already eager to search for the puzzles around them, so why would Ye He feel dissatisfied?

"This... there are many puzzles and rewards here... This is also my first time entering this place..."

Garcia thought Ye He thought "that's all", and hurriedly tried to explain to Ye He with stumbling words.

But Ye He shook his head again and chuckled at her.

"Not every 'smart person' likes to use his brain. If he really likes to use his brain, do you think he can enjoy more happiness?" Gracia suddenly turned around and told Garcia the reason why Ye He was "dissatisfied", which made Garcia look confused.

It’s that simple. Ye He is not stupid, but he doesn’t like to think all the time and calculate the gains and losses of everything all the time.

Only those who have reached Ye He's level of wisdom, or those above him, such as Gracia and Fei'er, will understand that thinking all the time is tiring and meaningless.

He is not a psychopath who enjoys "thinking", and...

The more you "think" and the more "correct" you are, the more cautious you will be, and thus you will become petty and lose the enjoyment of the joys and losses of daily ordinary life.

Garcia thought Ye He could enjoy the pleasure of "solving puzzles", but he didn't know that Ye He was a rather "plain and unpretentious" person and he had never been able to experience this kind of happiness.

Unless there is something "good" that he can put in his pocket as a reward for solving the puzzle, perhaps Ye He will be more motivated.

Gracia's reminder and Ye He's "indifference" made Garcia quickly realize his misunderstanding of Ye He.

An awkward expression appeared on her face, and she asked Ye He tentatively:
"Sorry... I'm sorry... Then... shall I take you out?"

"Oh, now that I'm here... forget it, I'll just go around and walk around."

The calmer Ye He's expression towards Garcia was, the more uneasy Garcia became.

He stood up and walked alone along the gravel path into the endless garden.

Garcia quickly stood up and followed, but he couldn't think of a way to turn the situation around.

She lowered her head and pondered for several seconds behind Ye He, and suddenly realized that it was a little quiet behind her, and there was no sound of footsteps that should have followed.

When he turned around, Garcia saw only empty seats and tea tables.

Where is that little girl?

Gracia disappeared without anyone noticing!
Ye He, who was walking in front of Garcia, did not stop and did not care where Garcia was going.

Because Grace had received the notice from Ye He, she took advantage of Garcia's unpreparedness and quietly hid in the garden.

"I know you are very interested in this place, and what I need is the 'emotional seeds' produced by this maze. I will help you hold Garcia back, and you can help me look for it."

This was what Ye He had conveyed to Gracia through Caesar when Garcia introduced the name of the garden to her.

As expected, Gracia did not expose herself to Garcia, but acquiesced to Ye He's arrangement. She turned around and hid in the garden, starting to look for emotional seeds for Ye He.

That is to say...

Yehe and Gracia are actually teaming up to tease Garcia!
One is a female judge who doesn't want Garcia to be too proud or to win over Ye He's favor; the other is a lazy man who really doesn't want to use his brain and doesn't want Garcia to know too much about his preferences and tastes.

The two hit it off immediately and tacitly performed a play for Garcia, leaving the mastermind who brought the two into this maze bewildered and at a loss what to do.

"Master Yehe, the girl from Ashley's family is missing!"

Garcia seemed to realize something was wrong, so she quickly caught up with Ye He and raised the question.

"so?"

Ye He turned his head and looked at her in confusion.

"Why?"

"I don't understand this maze, and I didn't bring Gracia in. I shouldn't be responsible for her personal safety, and I don't have the ability or mood to take care of her."

"what?"

Ye He acted like a hands-off boss and threw the question back to Garcia.

Garcia did not expect Ye He to have such a reaction. He was stunned for a moment and became more and more confused.

"By the way, Graves is also in South Folia. He seems to love his little daughter very much. After all, he is a child born in his old age!"

"..."

Garcia's eyes widened a little. Of course she knew that Graves was in South Folia.

But after being reminded by Ye He, she realized that if something happened to Gracia in this maze, the Supreme Court and the First Chief Justice would definitely not let her go!
This is no joke. After all, this is a maze where anything can happen.

Garcia was now suddenly in a dilemma. She had not yet confirmed Ye He's intention, and it was not easy for her to leave Ye He's side. However, she had to consider Gracia's safety and needed to go find her!

Garcia, who was unable to cope with so many tasks, finally chose to follow Ye He, but her steps were exaggeratedly heavy and the smile on her face began to look ugly.

How could a plan that I carefully designed to please Ye He suddenly turn into this situation where I am neither a human nor a human being?
Ye He turned around, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said nothing more.

He would not tell Garcia that he had shared Caesar's wide-area detection capability with Gracia. With the help of the real-time 3D map, Gracia would definitely not get lost, nor would she step into a place that was obviously problematic at first glance.

Gracia was also extremely shocked at this time. From the beginning, the 3D map of the garden kept appearing in front of her eyes and kept expanding.

A miniature Iveronda back garden was gradually taking shape before her eyes, which made it much easier for her to find the clues and solve the puzzle.

"So he has this ability..."

Gracia probably guessed that Ye He could hear her voice and knew everything that happened on her side, so she deliberately spoke out her thoughts to herself and let Ye He know.

"Do you like it? Oh, look."

Sure enough, Ye He's voice immediately sounded in Gracia's ears, and Caesar synchronized the real-time scene on Ye He's side to Gracia's eyes, allowing Gracia to see Garcia who was in a dilemma.

"Great! Fortunately, we are not enemies. Hehehe, I am going to start solving the puzzle. You can torment Garcia as you like. By the way, remember to let Garcia perform the "secret technique" I just mentioned for you!"

Gracia was serious for less than three seconds, and immediately showed Ye He her consistent "personality", almost making Ye He next to Garcia smile helplessly.

But this clever girl was still very capable. She skipped some puzzles that were simple and had relatively ordinary rewards, and went straight to a large garden shrub area, seemingly discovering the large puzzle here through the map.

Yehe also encountered some large stone sculptures that are often found in the back gardens of aristocrats in the real world.

Judging from the placement of these sculptures, which are carved into various creatures, this also seems to be a large puzzle.

But Ye He still didn't plan to use his brain. He stopped, turned around and smiled at Garcia who was still struggling.

Although Garcia is not as smart as a genius like Gracia, he should also be smart.

Ye He's "counter-scheming" was just an unintentional act. Ye He believed that Garcia would help him solve the puzzles he encountered.
