"How is it?" Nan Gong Yao looked at Li Feng, who had just walked in from outside. A day had passed, and it was about time to bring someone in for questioning.
"Reporting to Sovereign, aside from Zhao Feiyu being awake, the other three are still unconscious. I sent someone to check on those from Dream Nation, but we couldn't determine the cause at all." Li Feng's expression was serious, not because he was worried about how to report to Nan Gong Yao, but because the situation itself seemed suspicious. How could these people come out of Millennium Ruins only to fall into a coma, and yet no reason could be found?
Upon hearing this, Nan Gong Yao became more concerned. It seemed that questioning would have to be postponed until they clarified the situation of these individuals, lest something similar happen to Nangong Tuo in the future and catch them off guard.
"Is that old lady from Bai Clan still residing at Ouyang Hao's residence?" Among those who came out of Millennium Ruins was also Baike. Nan Gong Yao naturally knew that Baike had been sent to Ouyang Hao's residence, but later Baike was taken out again, which left him puzzled. After so many years, did Ouyang Hao still not want to resolve matters with Bai Clan?
"Yes." That old lady was probably the only one Nan Gong Yao hadn't sent anyone to secretly monitor, undoubtedly out of respect for Ouyang Hao. That elder from Bai Clan better not cause any trouble; otherwise, Sovereign might take their possessions and not be polite about it.
"Tell me, is the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan Baike or Ouyang Zixin's girl?" This matter didn't have much to do with Nan Gong Yao, but since Ouyang Zixin was likely to become his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but gossip a bit.
However, Li Feng couldn't answer this question at all. Bai Clan had long fallen from grace; the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan probably didn't hold as much status as the young lady from National Guardian Mystic Master Manor now. Especially since this was Exiled Nation and not Dream Nation. So after some consideration, he decided to respond with a smile while saying nothing.
"Hmph, you cunning old dog." Nan Gong Yao snorted coldly and then laughed heartily. "Forget it. Whoever it is doesn't matter! As long as I find a good wife for my son, I really don't care about anything else."
——————————————
"Xin'er..."
Who?
Ouyang Zixin felt a disdainful mental storm in her mind. She couldn't help but frown; under such immense pressure, her face gradually turned pale. If it weren't for the fact that there were no wounds on her face or exposed skin now, she would look quite terrifying.
"Xin'er... Xin'er... Wake up, don't sleep..."
Such a familiar voice. Who is speaking to her?
"...someone will love you like your mother..."
Such familiar words; that's right, it's her mother—her mother from Earth. These words were what she heard in her dreams when she first crossed over to Yuhai Continent.
Mother, is that you? Are you here to see me again?
"Live well. Mom is waiting for you in another world... Wake up soon..."
No, last time it was said like this. Mom left; she doesn't want to let Mom go!
Ouyang Zixin struggled to see her surroundings, reaching out her hand to grasp at the air beside her, hoping to catch hold of Mom, to keep her here, or...
Or what?
To let Mom take her back to Earth?
If she went back, what would happen to her parents in the Yuhai Continent?
Ouyang Zixin hesitated. She began to doubt whether she wanted to return to Earth... Her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and she felt a deep loneliness due to her confusion.
Wait, who is it? Who is holding her?
Such a warm embrace, her face wet with warm droplets. Are these tears?
That's right, these are her mother's tears, filled with love and concern. They fell on Ouyang Zixin's face once again. Whenever she felt lost and wandering, her mother always gently comforted her by her side. How could she bear to leave this kind-hearted woman behind in this world?
"Xin'er, Xin'er, please get better soon..."
Mom...
"...so focused on the Miss of Xuan Shi Mansion whom we have only heard of but never met, that curiosity made us overlook that no matter how mysterious she is, she is only five years old—a little child..."
Who is this again?
Where are these whispers coming from?
"This girl is not bad."
That's right, these were the discussions about her on the day of the Mystical Energy Test, in front of the archway. It was that day when she was labeled as waste material, unable to cultivate. But who are these two men speaking? Why do their voices sound so familiar?
Especially—this woman, why do these four words cause the storm in her mind to rage even more?
In this world, is there anyone besides her mother and father who can provoke such emotional turmoil in her? Who is this person? Why does he appear in her memories?
"Where are you hurt?"
It's him again. Is he asking her?
Is she hurt? Why does she feel nothing at all?
His voice is cold, but she can sense that he cares about her. This feeling is so warm, so endearing, but who is he?
"...You acted on your own and hurt someone you shouldn't have, so..."
Huh? He is angry. Who is he talking to?
"Do you know who she is? How dare you hurt her! ...So, go die..."
Is he angry for her? Someone hurt her... Oh, it was that time before the Millennium Ruins when she encountered someone outside Luoping Village...
Yes, she remembers that time when someone appeared and saved her.
Who was it?
She is about to remember who it was, who exactly was it?
"The matter with Baike was truly a misunderstanding. Don't move, let me explain."
"I don't know why you misunderstood my relationship with her, but I'm glad—glad to see you angry about it. I suppose this is what they call jealousy."
"I only kissed you."
"You just need to believe me, and that's enough."
That's enough...
It's him!
The man who made her believe that she only needed to trust him, the man who had actually been around her for a long time but whom she had never noticed, is Yun Tianmo!
She finally remembered...
Despite the Mental Storm raging in her mind, she suddenly felt an unprecedented calmness within her. The memories that had just surfaced, along with those conversations, finally reminded her of how important he was, someone she almost forgot.
"Master... you, you finally..."
Nameless, what's wrong with you?
Nameless's voice sounded very weak, and Ouyang Zixin asked with concern.
"Nameless, it's nothing. Master, please stop the Mental Storm quickly and wake up..."
(To be continued.)
