Chapter 161: Chapter 138: Arrival (Combined Chapter)_3

"It’s not all of it; you can think of it as a dream, after which you’ll forget most parts, remembering only certain things that have left a deep impression on you."

After two seconds of silence,

Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Tianyan and quietly asked,

"Hey, can your Celestial Fates Divine Soul remember the things from the Illusionary Realm?"

Tianyan fell silent for a moment before gently shaking her head:

"I... don’t know."

"...Is that so?"

With a murmur, Xu Yuan’s gaze fell.

This time,

he was silent for quite a long time.

It felt like an instant, yet like eternity.

When he looked up again, Xu Yuan had a faint, ambiguous smile on his face.

It was like self-mockery, yet carried determination.

"Hey...." The palace-dressed girl seemed to sense something and tightened her grip on his hand.

Xu Yuan didn’t pay attention to her and looked at Yuchu, speaking very calmly:

"Yuchu, can you promise me something? It’s about Tianyan."

Yuchu paused for a brief moment and smiled softly:

"I am going to disperse soon. If it’s within my capability, I’ll do it."

"Good."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Under the gaze of the two women, he spoke softly and evenly:

"Yuchu... let me leave first."

"What?"

"Let me leave first, and keep Tianyan trapped in this Illusionary Realm."

"....." A look of surprise flickered in Yuchu’s eyes.

"....." Tianyan’s beautiful eyes immediately widened, filled with confusion.

After a second of stillness,

"Xu... Xu Changtian?"

Tianyan was incredulous for a moment but then realized the situation and suddenly let go of Xu Yuan’s hand, glaring at him with clenched teeth:

"What do you mean?"

"....."

Xu Yuan didn’t look at her but clenched his fists slightly, still calmly gazing into Yuchu’s eyes:

"Is it possible?"

"Tianyan... she has also helped me."

"No need to trap her to death; I just need time to escape."

The girl clenched her fists tightly, grinding her teeth, her breathing somewhat rushed:

"Xu Changtian, do you want to trap me here to die? You... what do you mean? Don’t you trust me?"

Xu Yuan glanced at her:

"I trust you, but the you I trust is from the Illusionary Realm. And, after leaving, our relationship will go back to the beginning."

Tianyan tightened her fists, her beautiful eyes gradually misting over;

"Xu... Xu Changtian.... you’re just a bastard!"

Xu Yuan wasn’t looking at her; his gaze was on Yuchu.

After a long silence,

Yuchu nodded slightly:

"It’s possible, but if you attack Tianyan, I will wake her directly, as she has also helped me."

"Thank you," Xu Yuan said with a slight smile.

Yuchu fell silent for a while, glanced at the angry Tianyan beside her, and hesitated:

"Do you need to leave yourselves some time, um... some time for a reunion?"

"I need it." She bit her teeth.

"It’s not necessary." His voice was calm.

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this point in his thoughts,

Xu Yuan already had a rough understanding of everything.

He looked at the girl in front of him, his tone somewhat complex:

"Tianyan, I don’t regret my earlier choice, even if I had memories like you, I would not regret it."

The cold wind blew into the cave, forming a convection with the large hole in the inner wall, brushing past the girl’s sleek, long black hair.

She stared at him, her lips moved slightly, biting her lip:

"You... you’re really a bastard."

"Bastard...?"

Xu Yuan muttered, looking at her, shaking his head:

"Tianyan, I have a question for you."

"Wha... what?"

"Do you think that even if I trusted you, what could we do?"

"....." Tianyan.

Xu Yuan stared at her, articulating each word;

"Are you going to betray Jiatiange,

"Or,

"Do you expect me to betray my father?"
