Seeing Qi Gui's gentle eyes, Luo Yiyi felt guilty. She looked up at the sky, then at the ground, and finally touched her nose. She was so afraid of death that she decided to keep it a secret.

"Ahem, well, do you know where you went wrong?"

"I was so absorbed in the realm of illusion that I failed to recognize Master the first time, causing Master to suffer so much injustice. I deserve to die."

Luo Yiyi was stunned. He didn't understand a single word. His poor little head was filled with confusion. He wanted to ask more questions but was afraid of exposing himself.

"Well, you do deserve to die. But since you woke up in time, I will forgive you. But as for Nangong...how are you going to deal with it?"

"For some reason, I have lost contact with my contracted beast and cannot break through the illusion immediately. However, I will continue to find a way. Master, don't worry. As for the others, if I tell them the truth directly, it may cause rejection in their hearts. We can only wait for them to wake up on their own."

Luo Yiyi was surprised: "You said we are in a fantasy now?"

Qi Gui looked around: "This high-level illusion woven after reading our soul memories has already developed a will. If you want to crack it, you must find the core of the realm."

"Environment core?"

"The carrier of the will of the illusion usually transforms into any living being, and continuously absorbs and grows by trapping human will in the illusion. It's a pity that Xiaohuan is not here. If it were here, it would immediately target the core of the illusion and devour it."

"Xiao Huan... can you devour the realm core?"

"Master, you may not know that the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Realm Core are natural enemies. They have strengthened their innate abilities by capturing and devouring each other. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox is more powerful than the Realm Core, there is a creator behind the Realm Core who specifically uses the Realm Core as bait to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox. That is why the number of Nine-Tailed Fox is so rare."

Luo Yiyi folded her arms across her chest and nodded maturely, but in fact she was still completely in the dark.

"Then how can we find the 'realm core'?"

Qi Gui pondered for a while: "As the creator and supervisor of the illusion, the Realm Core must ensure that the illusion grows and develops in the form of a small world. Naturally, it has its own specific operating rules. If we break this rule, the Realm Core will inevitably intervene, and then we can capture it."

Luo Yiyi looked up at the clear sky and asked: "How can the law be broken?"

Qi Gui answered without hesitation: "Of course, the fastest way is to turn this world upside down, which is to provoke a war among all the people, causing rivers of blood to flow and lives to be destroyed. Then the illusion will be unstable and the core will appear."

Luo Yiyi felt a chill in her heart. Even though Qi Gui said that everything here was an illusion, in her heart, this world was where she grew up and where her parents and relatives were. How could she watch the people here suffer?

She didn't bother to play dumb anymore and was determined to stop Qi Gui even if she was beaten to death.

"No! They are all my important relatives, I won't allow you to hurt them!"

Luo Yiyi forgot about her short stature for a moment and jumped directly off the big rock. Qi Gui was afraid that she would fall, so he stood up and supported her, allowing her to land safely.

"Master, the 'people' in the illusion are not real people, but illusions created by the realm core. The relatives here are not your real relatives either. The people who care about you are waiting for you outside."

At this time, Luo Yiyi, like other people trapped in the illusion, refused to listen to Qi Gui's persuasion and firmly believed that the world she lived in was the real one.

She no longer cared, took out the gold bracelet and put it on again, and her small figure turned into a tall figure.

Liu Xing pointed at Qi Gui fiercely and threatened: "I don't care who you are. If you dare to do anything that is bad for us, don't blame me for being rude! Don't forget that my uncle is the general of Zhenyuan!"

After saying those harsh words, he turned around and ran away, fearing that if he was a step late he would be caught by the psychopath Qi Gui.

She didn't stop until she saw the city gate under martial law. She looked back nervously and confirmed that Qi Gui had not caught up with her. She thought he was probably a soldier who was afraid of checking her, so she felt relieved and changed into the appearance of a monkey, slowly walking into the city.

Wearing the appearance of a monkey, he returned to Liu's house without any obstacles. Because of the big event of Qi Gui escaping from marriage today, everyone's attention was attracted.

The servants were gossiping about this matter all the time but ignored the young master, resulting in no one noticing the monkey that had been swapped after Luo Yiyi took the opportunity to deliver snacks back to the room.

"Wow, Master! You're finally back! I've been so frightened for a whole day and night. If you hadn't come back, I would have been scared to death!"

Kicking away the monkey who was complaining in tears, Luo Yiyi saw a table full of leftover snacks and a messy bed, thinking that he must be living a good life. With a twitching mouth, Luo Yiyi ordered him to change the bed and clean up the room before kicking him out of the room.

She sat down at the table, picked up the cup and took a sip of the cold tea. After putting the cup down, she suddenly remembered something and stood up and felt around in front of and behind her.

"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone. Why is it gone? Where's my candied haws?"

She took off her outer robe and jumped up and down a few times to confirm that the candied haws were indeed gone. After much thought, she realized that it could only have fallen off when she transformed back to its original form.

He sat down on the chair and knocked his head on the table, regretting that he should have bought ten or eight skewers on the way back.

While she was feeling frustrated, there was a knock on the window nearby.

She looked up at the window and found that it had been opened at some point, and a string of brightly colored and tempting candied haws was placed on the windowsill.

"what?"

Luo Yiyi hurriedly got up and ran to the window, looking out through the wooden window pane, but didn't see anyone.

She picked up the candied haws and looked at it for a while. She was inexplicably certain that the person who delivered it was Qi Gui. She was extremely surprised that he could come and go freely among the soldiers under her uncle's guard.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but take a bite of the candied haws. Chewing the sour and sweet rock sugar hawthorn, her previously depressed mood gradually brightened up.

She closed the window and sat back at the table, chewing on a candied haws while thinking about what Qi Gui had said. She told herself that it was all nonsense, but at the same time she had a vague feeling that those words were not groundless.

"Am I Liu Xing, the eldest son of the Liu family, or am I the master mentioned by Qi Gui? He said this is an illusion? Then everything here is fake? But here I am a playboy, what if I have nothing in the real world?"

She suddenly felt very regretful. Since they had already fallen out, she might as well find out what her identity and background were in the real world as described by Qi Gui. What if it was some powerful and awesome character? Wouldn't it be a pity if she chose to stay?

When she finished eating a string of candied haws, a servant came to report that because of the incident with Qi Gui, her confinement was lifted and she could have dinner with her parents and uncle in the evening.

Secretly, she still wanted to know the latest news about Nangong Xue, so when it was time for dinner, she couldn't wait to come to the restaurant and was the first to sit at the table.

The Liu family doesn't like to talk while eating, and doesn't talk while sleeping. At the dinner table, Liu's mother naturally asked about the farce that happened during the day.

Yang Shuo looked a little tired, probably because he had been looking for someone for a whole day, but he still patiently answered each question one by one.

Little did he know that the person involved, who was nowhere to be found in the entire city, was standing on a tree outside the Liu Mansion restaurant, quietly watching a figure who was eating voraciously.
