"I-I will be right back!" Wang Xiuying said to Xi ili before logging off the ga and picking up her phone.
"Hello?" ixiu quickly answered the phone after seeing Wang Xiuying’s na as the caller.
"Hey, ixiu, great news. I think Yuan will be done by sunrise," she relayed this news to her.
"Really?" ixiu asked.
"Yes, and I will stay inside the ga tonight to let him know about the situation."
"Thank you very much, Wang Xiuying," ixiu said to her.
"Don’t worry about it. I am only doing what’s natural. Then I’ll speak with you again later."
After hanging up, Wang Xiuying went back into the ga and waited for Yuan to finish his enlightennt with Xi ili by her side.
anwhile, inside Yuan’s mind, he could only see a pair of golden eyes staring at him from a distance that grew closer the longer he stared at it.
This pair of eyes resembled Xi ili’s eyes, but it also gave him a feeling of the Great One.
Although Yuan was not aware of it himself, he has been staring at this pair of eyes for the last three days inside his mind.
Suddenly, a familiar sound echoed in his mind.
Ding!

After the notification resounded, the pair of golden eyes inside Yuan’s mind slowly closed itself before disappearing.
Yuan slowly opened his eyes afterward.
"Congratulations on your enlightennt, Yuan." Xi ili greeted him with a bright smile on her pretty face.
"Xi ili? Did I just experience another enlightennt?" He mumbled in a dazed voice.
"Another enlightennt? Why am I not surprised that this isn’t your first ti?" Xi ili said with a bittersweet smile on her face.
"How long has it been in that state?" Yuan asked.
However, before Xi ili could answer that question, Wang Xiuying stood up and approached him with a serious-looking expression on her face.
"Wang Xiuying? What’s the matter?" Yuan asked her in a sowhat nervous voice because of the way she approached him.
"Yuan... or should I call you Yu Tian?" Wang Xiuying said to him.
"W-W-What did you just call ?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he heard his real na co out of Wang Xiuying’s mouth— or at least that’s what he thought he heard.
"I know the truth, Yu Tian. To think you were Player Yuan all along. I feel foolish for not recognizing you earlier..." Wang Xiuying sighed.
"H-How...? How did you find out?" Yuan asked her.
Did she finally recognize him from his appearance? But even if he looked similar to his appearance in the real world, she didn’t have solid proof that they were the sa person! And judging by the way Wang Xiuying is speaking, it sounded like she was absolutely confident about his identity!
"As much as I hate to admit it, I didn’t find out by myself. It was ixiu who told ." Wang Xiuying said.
"What? ixiu told you my identity? Impossible!" Yuan beca even more shocked after hearing this, feeling a little betrayed that ixiu would reveal his identity to soone— even if that person was soone he trusted! And this made him feel extrely uncomfortable for so reason.
"Do you have any idea how worried ixiu was because of you?" Wang Xiuying then said.
"What?"
Seeing Yuan’s puzzled face, Wang Xiuying decided to reveal everything to him.
"You have been in enlightennt for three whole days, Yuan. That ans you haven’t logged off for three days!"
"WHAT?!"
When Yuan realized the situation, his heart imdiately sank.
He’d been inside the ga for three days straight?! No wonder why ixiu would be worried!
"And because she had no idea what you were doing, she told the truth about your identity. I was also very worried at first when I learned that you haven’t logged off for three days. I even visited your apartnt to check your condition!"
"Heavens! I will be right back! I need to speak with ixiu as soon as possible!" Yuan said to her, and without waiting for a response, he imdiately logged off the ga.
"Uhhh..." Xi ili was left speechless by their confusing conversation just now, but when Yuan disappeared, her questions also disappeared, almost like she suddenly forgot about them.
"ixiu!" Yuan called for her the mont he returned to the real world.
"Yuan! You’re finally back!" ixiu released a deep sigh of relief after hearing his voice again.
"I am so sorry! It was never my intention to stay inside the ga for so long! I had another sudden enlightennt, which completely screwed with my sense of ti." Yuan explained to her why he didn’t log off for so long.
"It’s okay, you don’t have to say anything. I have already heard of your situation from Wang Xiuying. I am just relieved that you’re okay." ixiu said to him.
"Even if you say that... I am really sorry for making you worried!"
"I would be lying if I told you that I wasn’t worried, but thanks to Wang Xiuying for telling the situation, it wasn’t too bad."
Soti later, once they cald down, ixiu said, "Now it’s my turn to apologize. I promised to keep your identity a secret, yet I revealed your identity to Wang Xiuying... I am sorry..."
"What are you talking about? You had a legitimate reason to do so. Although I felt a little betrayed at first, I didn’t know anything at that ti. Just know that I don’t bla you at all, ixiu." Yuan said to her.
"Okay..." ixiu said.
A few monts later, ixiu asked him, "How is your body feeling right now? Do you feel hungry? It’s been three days since you last ate, after all."
"Now that you ntion it, I do feel a little hungry."
"I will go cook sothing right away," ixiu said before going outside to prepare for his breakfast.
