However, Xiao Lusheng's words were like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving no response whatsoever.

Xiao Lusheng sat by Rong Xun's bedside, watching over him, making sure nothing happened to him.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Xiao Lusheng saw a slight smile on her lips. What was he thinking?

In that world, without Yun'er, how could he laugh?

"Brother Rong?"

Xiao Lusheng hurriedly called Rong Xun a few times, but unfortunately, apart from a faint smile on his lips, there was no response.

He just sat there, watching over Rong Xun all night.

As dawn broke, Xiao Lusheng, who was dozing off, heard Su Yun's murmured voice.

Seeing that Rong Xun's expression was normal, he quickly went to Su Yun's bedside, "Yun'er, Yun'er?"

Su Yun woke up with a frown on her face.

When she saw Xiao Lusheng, her lips moved, but she had an indescribable feeling in her heart!

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lusheng asked.

"No, it's nothing."

Su Yun dared not say that she had just had a dream in which she was in a completely unfamiliar wilderness. She and Rong Xun were sitting on a large rock, feeling the chilly autumn wind, looking at the fiery red clouds on the horizon, and seeing mandarin ducks and swans being cared for in pairs.

How could she possibly desecrate Brother Rong's dream like that!

Xiao Lusheng didn't believe it and just stared at her intently.

Su Yun pursed her lips. "It was just a dream."

I had a dream.

She blushed and almost didn't dare look at him.

Xiao Lusheng asked directly, "Did you remember something?"

"No, I just had a dream."

"What dream?"

Su Yun looked at Xiao Lusheng, blinked her misty eyes, glanced at Rong Xun's bed, and asked Xiao Lusheng, "Is it okay if I don't want to say?"

Xiao Lusheng smiled slightly, "Of course."

He thought that even if Rong Xun had erased Yun'er's memories, the real feeling she had in that world, and Yun'er's dream just now, must be related to Rong Xun.

After breakfast.

Master Ding and Jing Wen carried some ancient books into Rong Xun's room.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus and Your Majesty the Empress Dowager." Master Ding and Jing Wen bowed in greeting.

Xiao Lusheng raised his hand, "No need for formalities at the Imperial Observatory!"

"Yes."

Su Yun asked, "Master Ding, have you found a way?"

Old Man Ding shook his head. "Yesterday, the Regent and I tried to contact Rong Xun, but he didn't respond. He's determined not to come back. I don't know if these ancient books I found can awaken him."

Su Yun looked at Xiao Lusheng nervously, wondering what to do.

Xiao Lusheng clenched his fists. He had no choice; otherwise, he would have personally dragged Rong Xun back to reality!

"We have to give it a try," Xiao Lusheng said to Old Man Ding.

Old Ding took a deep breath and then glanced at Jing Wen.

Jingwen nodded and immediately arranged the room into a lantern array.

However, when Old Man Ding used his Dao technique, Rong Xun's face remained expressionless, without any reaction.

After a long while, Old Man Ding, covered in sweat, shouted to Rong Xun, "Rong Xun, if you don't come back, you'll never wake up again!"

"Wake up! You're in a hallucination!"

Su Yun's tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. She rushed over and knelt by the bed, grabbing Rong Xun's hand and crying out, "Brother Rong, please come back!"

"If you don't come back, I'll never talk to you again!"

"Brother Rong, Brother Rong, can you even hear me? No matter what happens, we'll face it together, okay?"

Su Yun cried as she recounted her story.

The Five Thunder Token suddenly fell out.

She stared at the Five Thunder Token, vaguely remembering that Brother Rong had given it to her before—

Old Man Ding saw the Five Thunder Token and asked, "How come the Five Thunder Token is with the Empress Dowager?"

Su Yun said, "It slipped out of Brother Rong's sleeve after we woke up." This was what Xiao Lusheng told her.

As she spoke, Su Yun handed the Five Thunder Token to Old Man Ding.

Old Man Ding shook his head, "No, I dare not accept this token." He looked at Rong Xun, not knowing whether he could save Rong Xun in the end. If not, Rong Xun might leave the Five Thunder Token to Xiao Chen. So he said, "The Empress Dowager should keep it."

After the formation failed.

The lamp is no longer shining.

Jingwen removed all the lanterns.

Before long, Xiao Zhenzhen, Xiao Chen, Xie Ying, and Xie Yunchu entered the Imperial Observatory.

Seeing Rong Xun lying quietly on the bed, they all felt very bad.

Old Man Ding handed some ancient books to Xiao Chen, saying, "These are all I can think of. Do you see if there are any other methods?"

Old Ding had access to fewer secret techniques and ancient books than Xiao Chen, and besides, Xuanming Tower had been reduced to ashes in the battle four years ago.

These rare copies are already very precious.

Xiao Chen glanced at the ancient books. "I will examine them carefully, and then—"

Then what?

Everyone looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps we could use a secret technique to enter Uncle Rong's dream and bring him back, but—"

"But what?"

Xiao Chen looked at his anxious mother and frowned, saying, "But the secret technique I possess only allows me to enter Uncle Rong's dream. If I go, Uncle Rong might not be willing to come back with me!"

Everyone looked at Su Yun.

Su Yun said, "I'm willing to go!"

But Chen'er said that the secret technique he possessed could only be used by him to enter Rong Xun's dream.

Old Ding stroked his white beard and frowned, saying, "Perhaps the Taoist techniques in this ancient book can be combined with the secret arts you've learned to send the Empress Dowager into Rong Xun's dream?"

"Really?"

"Yes, the Taixu Chapter contains a hidden record of the Taoist techniques for entering the dream realm. Take a look."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Okay."

Old Ding nodded. "In that case, I'll take my leave now."

At his age, he really can't take this kind of torment!

Jingwen quickly helped Old Man Ding up, saying, "I'll take you there."

"Ah."

Old Ding nodded.

After Jingwen helped Old Man Ding leave, Su Yun looked at Xiao Chen, "Chen'er, what about you?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Rong Xun on the bed, then said to his mother, "I will go and study it, and come back tonight."

"it is good."

As Xiao Chen nodded, Xie Ying also bowed to her father and mother, saying, "Your daughter-in-law greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"Good boy, get up quickly."

Su Yun quickly helped Xie Ying up. More than four years had passed, and Xie Ying was now in her twenties, looking even more beautiful.

"Are the children alright?" Su Yun asked.

Xie Ying nodded, "Everything is fine. They are all studying under Grand Tutor Ding in the Imperial Study."

"That's good."

Su Yun answered, her voice choked with emotion.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen and Xie Ying bowed and took their leave.

After the two of them left, Xiao Zhenzhen looked at her uncle Rong lying on the bed and felt extremely sad.

"Zhen'er," Su Yun called out.

Xiao Zhenzhen responded with a sob, and when she looked up, she saw her mother opening her arms to her. She quickly threw herself into Su Yun's arms, "Mother, Father—" The rest of her words were choked with sobs.
