"Huh? What do you an I’m playing with Yu Tian?" Wang Xiuying’s head remained tilted in a puzzled manner.
"The person I am playing with currently is—"
Wang Xiuying’s eyes suddenly widened when she realized what ixiu was trying to tell her.
She then slowly turned her head to look at Yu Tian, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed with the console on his head.
Although the console was blocking half of his head, she could still see so resemblance between Yu Tian and Yuan.
"A-Are you... Are you telling that Yu Tian is Player Yuan?" Wang Xiuying asked her for confirmation, as she was in disbelief.
ixiu nodded silently.
"So he knew this entire ti who I was?" Wang Xiuying mumbled in a low voice.
To think she’d been playing with her number one idol, Yu Tian, this entire ti without being aware! And she even saw his face! What a blunder on her part!
"Please keep this a secret between us, Wang Xiuying. We cannot risk his identity being leaked outside, hence why he didn’t tell you." ixiu said to her afterward.
"D-Don’t worry, I won’t tell a single soul. I promise!" Wang Xiuying quickly said after snapping out of her daze.
ixiu nodded, "I trust you."
"Anyways, now that I know Yu Tian is Player Yuan, I understand why he’s like this." Wang Xiuying said.
And she continued, "He’s currently in a state of enlightennt, and I was told that he wouldn’t wake up until he finishes."
"Enlightennt? How long will it take before he wakes up?" ixiu asked.
Wang Xiuying sighed and said, "I was told it could take days... even weeks."
"Weeks?!" ixiu exclaid.
A few days were already unreasonably long, much less a couple of weeks. Can one even survive that long without eating?
"Don’t worry, ixiu. I know what you’re thinking, but there have been plenty of people out there who have remained inside the ga for over a week without any problems." Wang Xiuying said to her.
"Even if you say that, I cannot let him stay inside the ga for so long. I don’t want anything to happen to him." ixiu said, as she couldn’t help but worry about it.
Wang Xiuying nodded and said, "I think so as well, so let’s give him one or two more days to leave by himself before we forcefully wake him up."
And she continued, "I will monitor him inside the ga and you will monitor him here."
"Okay." ixiu nodded.
Soti later, after making sure that Yuan was completely fine and healthy, Wang Xiuying left the place and returned ho.
"Player Yuan was Yu Tian all along? I still cannot believe it..." Wang Xiuying laid on her bed and stared at the empty ceiling with a dazed look on her face for a very long ti.
Soti later, she entered the ga and went to the courtyard behind the Royal Palace, where Yuan was still sitting in the lotus position with his eyes closed. Sitting a few ters away from him was Xi ili, who was staring at him with a profound expression, her thoughts unknown.
A few monts later, Wang Xiuying took a seat beside Xi ili.
Xi ili remained still, almost like she didn’t notice Wang Xiuying sitting beside her.
’He’s Yu Tian...’ Wang Xiuying thought to herself as she gazed at Yuan’s handso face.
After a minute of silence, Xi ili suddenly said, "I really like him."
"Huh?" Wang Xiuying turned to look at Xi ili with a surprised look on her face.
Xi ili acted like nothing was out of the ordinary and continued in a calm voice, "He’s the only person that has managed to pique my interest so much. Even now, I cannot take my eyes off him."
"What about you? Do you like him as much as I do?" Xi ili suddenly asked, dumbfounding her.
Wang Xiuying then turned to look at Yuan and spoke with a smile on her face, "I really admire him."
"Admiration?" Xi ili finally turned to look at her, as she was surprised by Wang Xiuying’s answer.
Wang Xiuying nodded and said, "He— at a very young age, was able to impress and influence many people with his talents, and I was one of these people that he’d influenced."
"His talent, huh? I kind of understand that feeling, as he has also influenced just by showing off his talents." Xi ili nodded.
"Hmm? Wait a second. I thought you didn’t know him, since you said that you’d followed him on a whim." Xi ili suddenly realized this.
An awkward smile appeared on Wang Xiuying’s face, and she said, "Well, yeah... That’s what I thought at first, but it appears that I have known him for quite so ti now."
"Sorry, but I don’t understand..." Xi ili said.
"It’s fine if you don’t understand since I am also trying to wrap my own head around it."
The two of them returned to being silent shortly after, and they continued to stare at Yuan with a silent gaze and their own thoughts.
At the end of the day, right as Wang Xiuying prepared to log off the ga, she noticed that the aura around Yuan was beginning to change.
"What’s happening to him?" She couldn’t help but ask.
"Unbelievable..."
However, Xi ili didn’t respond and only mumbled with a look of disbelief on her face.
"D-Did sothing happen?" Wang Xiuying beca worried.
"No... It’s just that... He’s already reaching the end of his enlightennt. At this rate, he’ll finish before sunrise." Xi ili said in a nervous voice.
"It’s only been three days since he started his enlightennt for the Dragon’s Gaze, a deeply profound and complex technique for dragons, and he’s already reaching the end. I can only describe his comprehension talents as god-like..."
"For comparison, when I had an enlightennt of the technique, it took three months to finish my enlightennt."
"T-Three months?!" Wang Xiuying looked at her with wide eyes, as she cannot imagine anyone sitting there without moving for so long.
