335: Chapter 335 Night_1 335: Chapter 335 Night_1 Ignoring the two old foxes locked in confrontation—for Feng Yuan had guessed that the opponent rely hoped to use him to make contact with Mo Ling or Mo Li—after all, at such a sensitive ti, Zhen Nan City really dared not approach Mo Ling and the others directly.
Otherwise, it would be amusing if a fight broke out before many words were exchanged.
“Why does the gentleman believe that Feng Yuan and Feng Yuan are the sa person?
Perhaps their master just happened to give them similar nas.”
“There’s no need for probing anymore.
It was an unexpected surprise that I could recognize him.
Due to a special reason, I have the Eye of Truth.
Despite the obstructions posed by the phantom shrouding him, Mao Xin could still discern that the other person is not a man in his twenties but rather a thirteen-year-old child.”
“Eye of Truth?”
Hu Weng looked at Yun Maoxin incredulously and said,
“What exactly are you here for?
Since you willingly ntioned the Eye of Truth, you must want to cooperate with us?”
“Mao Xin wants to confirm one thing: is the beast tide indeed happening?
Is it caused by the Seventh Prince?”
Hu Weng fell silent for a mont and said,
“Though the beast tide hasn’t occurred yet, according to intel, it is indeed a reality, and the cause may be related to the Seventh Prince.”
“Power struggle for the throne?
If that’s the case…”
Seeing Yun Maoxin deep in thought, Hu Weng asked,
“Did you co here just to confirm this?”
“No, there’s another matter as well: I want to know what exactly you are planning to do.”
Surprised by Yun Maoxin’s serious expression, Hu Weng exclaid,
“What are you doing?”
Noticing that Feng Yuan was staring at a virtual sand table constructed from imagery on the table, Yao Yin asked with so puzzlent.
Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin and said,
“Don’t you knock when entering soone’s room?”
“At this ti, you couldn’t possibly be sleeping.
Besides, if I were to see sothing I shouldn’t, I would be the one at a disadvantage!”
“What did you want to see for?”
“The person you brought back seems to have so issues…”
Feng Yuan sighed, diverted his gaze from the sand table, and looked at Yao Yin as he said,
“What, did you go and harass them?”
“I’m not that bored!
It’s just…
when he looked at , it was as if he wanted to see right through …”
Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin with disdain and said,
“Rest assured, he’s not interested in you.
As for your strange feeling, it’s probably the effect of his Eye of Truth.
You don’t really think that the Eye of Truth in this world could see through you, do you?”
Yao Yin glared at Feng Yuan annoyedly and said,
“I would definitely believe it’s impossible for others, but you…”
“Tsk, I want to know your information, so I could just ask Him.
I don’t believe there are no records of your information in your world.”
“You!”
“Is this what you ca to see for?”
After a mont of silence, Yao Yin hesitantly said,
“What would it cost to save the people inside Yongning City?”
Feng Yuan looked at Yao Yin with a touch of confusion and said,
“You’re not from this world, and yet you’re willing to pay the price of altering history for the ordinary people of this world?”
“I…
I just felt really happy during those days in Yongning City.
The happiness I felt being with Brother Tianxing was different.
I didn’t have to worry about open conflicts or hidden attacks, and there was no need to care about whether my actions conford to customs and etiquette, just pure and unbridled joy.”
“Keep it hidden in your heart, for that which you’ve never fully possessed is the best.
If you try to save Yongning because of this, you will completely lose these beautiful mories.”
“Why?”
Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin as if hinting at sothing and said,
“You will understand in the future.
For now, you’re just like an ordinary person, who, on a whim, sees an anthill about to be flooded and feels the urge to help.”
“Who says!
I…”
Yao Yin struggled to find a rebuttal for a long ti and, sighing in disappointnt, turned to leave.
Seeing the open door, Feng Yuan walked over with so resignation and closed it.
Xiao Ji lay on the table, watching Feng Yuan as he observed the sand table before him.
“Having a system is indeed better.
At least Guo Huai wouldn’t bother for such matters…”
Feng Yuan said sowhat helplessly, touching the sand table, and gradually, dots of light began to erge at various positions on the sand table.
“You should try to persuade Mo Ling again.”
At dinner, Feng Yuan noticed that Mo Ling had still not appeared.
Without much thought, he could guess that Mo Ling was surely hiding in her room, too afraid to face the soldiers who protected her.
Hu Weng sighed, put down his chopsticks, and said,
“I’ll take so food to her.”
“Try to talk so sense into her.
There will be many such incidents to co.
Now that Mo Li is not by her side, should we always expect Mo Li to persuade her?
Or should we change our plans for her?”
Feng Yuan said helplessly.
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Guo Huai bowed his head and continued eating, feeling down.
He clearly understood what would happen later.
The beast tide was just the beginning.
Mo Li might be the last straw to break the Great Li Dynasty, but before that, after many incidents, the Great Li Dynasty was already on the brink of collapse.
Mo Li’s choice would directly determine the fate of the Great Li Dynasty.
If Mo Li chose to save Great Li, then it would survive.
However, historically, Mo Li chose the opposite path, and so Great Li crumbled in Mo Li’s hands.
After a silent dinner, Feng Yuan returned to his room and, after so thought, took out the Dark Ancient Book.
Holding a brush, he began to write on it under the shocked gaze of Agunas’s phantom.
“If a red dot appears, rember to call .
I’m going to rest now.”
After instructing Agunas’s phantom again, Feng Yuan lay down on the bed to rest, while Xiao Ji lay quietly by his side.
Since it was still early, Xiao Ji couldn’t fall asleep, and since the Dreaming Dragon Babies hadn’t followed back, Xiao Ji, with nothing else to do, was forced to lie on the bed and watch Feng Yuan sleep as he tried to drift off into dreamland himself.
Guo Huai lay tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, as mories he couldn’t forget kept resurfacing.
Wiping the tears from his face, Guo Huai took out the Virtual Cube and spoke to the Dream-Eating Spirit, Pu Pu,
“If you’re tired, go ahead and rest.
I feel like I have a burst of inspiration right now and need to quickly test my new alchemy thod.”
Looking at Guo Huai forcing a smile, Pu Pu kept shaking, and the purple mist surrounding him expanded with his movents.
Displaying an ugly smile back at Pu Pu, Guo Huai entered the space gate opened by the Virtual Cube.
The system silently watched the explosions of potions in Guo Huai’s hands, which were even more frequent than those during the ti at Wolf Mountain.
Naturally, it understood that with Guo Huai’s long practice of the new alchemy thod, these frequent explosions shouldn’t be happening.
However, it had no right to persuade Guo Huai.
“Brother Tianxing…
I miss you so much…”
Wrapped in a blanket, Yao Yin huddled on a reclining chair in the courtyard, a pot of hot tea steaming on the stone table beside her.
During this difficult night, Yao Yin didn’t want to stay in her ‘cramped’ room, feeling as if she was about to suffocate.
“Haven’t you slept yet?…”
Mo Ling, with red eyes and wrapped in a cloak, ca over.
Seeing Yao Yin’s state, she obviously knew why and sat down at the stone table to share her own grievances.
The hot tea dwindled as they confided in each other, and when they noticed it was gone, Mo Ling habitually motioned for soone to help refill it.
Suddenly realizing that it was late into the night, Mo Ling laughed at herself, preparing to get up and refill the tea herself.
At that mont, a soldier-looking person ca with a pot of hot tea to replace the empty one.
Mo Ling noticed the person’s eyes were sowhat red.
“Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Atop the Watchtower of Zhen Nan City Lord Mansion, the City Lord asked Yun Maoxin, who, without turning his head, replied,
“Aren’t you also awake?
It’s a pity that from this tower, one can only see inside the city and not ascertain what’s happening outside…”
Sighing, the City Lord joined Yun Maoxin, looking at Zhen Nan City under the night sky.
Although most households seed to have turned off their lights to rest, he could still see many people restless at ho.
So older won appeared to be kneeling and praying for sothing.
“He, why would he ignore this, even if the area around Yongning has just sworn allegiance?
Such conduct is really too much…”
Yun Maoxin quietly listened to the City Lord without answering.
He understood that the other party didn’t really expect a response because once he spoke, even the last illusion would shatter.
