When Ruan Zhao woke up again, he heard a familiar sound of dripping... dripping... dripping in his ears.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a room filled with white.

It's a hospital!

It’s just that the decoration style of this hospital seems different from the world in the book.

Ruan Zhao was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

"you're awake?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears. Ruan Zhao turned her head and saw Qin Ze approaching. She subconsciously asked, "Xiao Ze? Why are you here?"

Qin Ze was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"

Ruan Zhao: “???”

Seeing Ruan Zhao's puzzled expression, Qin Ze didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he walked over to her and explained, "You fainted by the lake outside Nantang Garden. I happened to be passing by and took you to the hospital."

Nantang Garden?

By the lake?

A line connected in Ruan Zhao's mind, and she suddenly remembered something.

Isn’t that the place where she sealed the green snake demon?

She remembered that just as she sealed the snake demon at the bottom of the lake, the old Taoist priests from Qingyang Palace took the opportunity to injure her.

Her soul left her body on the spot and she lost consciousness.

Why is she here now?

Isn't she dead?

If she's not dead, then what's going on in the world she's in the book? Is it a dream?

Ruan Zhao had complicated thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked Qin Ze, "What time is it now?"

Qin Ze paused. For some reason, he immediately understood what Ruan Zhao meant by the time, so he replied, "July 16, 2456."

Ruan Zhao's pupils dilated. "So, I was only unconscious for a day?"

She was the snake demon that was sealed on the night of July 15, 2456.

It is now July 16, which means only one day has passed.

Qin Ze nodded and gave her a definite answer. "Yes, you have been unconscious for a day."

Ruan Zhao's thoughts became even more confused.

Why? Those memories are so clear? And those times also passed by second by second?

It’s been a long time, why has only one day passed?

But looking at the real world before him, Ruan Zhao felt that those memories were somewhat illusory, as if they were just a dream.

Ruan Zhao didn't say anything else. She lay there for a long time. Finally, when she thought about what Mr. Miao Jing said, an idea suddenly came to her.

Could it be true, as Mr. Miaojing said, that she just lost something and now found it, so everything is back on track.

And the thing she lost was the man in her dream.

Ruan Zhao subconsciously felt his body and found that he felt comfortable all over and his soul and body became very strong, as if he had never been injured.

When Qin Ze came back from outside after buying food, he saw Ruan Zhao still lying on the bed in a daze.

"Have something to eat."

He suddenly spoke, bringing Ruan Zhao back to his senses.

Ruan Zhao stood up and sat up. When he looked up and saw Qin Ze's current appearance, he was surprised again.

This was what Qin Ze looked like when he was eighteen years old, but when she left, Qin Ze was clearly in his fifties.

"How old are you?" Ruan Zhao asked subconsciously.

As Qin Ze took out the food, he casually replied, "Eighteen."

Ruan Zhao stared at Qin Ze's face and continued to ask, "Do you have a younger brother named Qin Mu?"

Qin Ze was stunned again and asked in surprise. "How do you know?"

Ruan Zhao was already a little excited. She didn't answer, but continued to ask. "What about your parents?"

Qin Ze's eyes dimmed for a moment, "We are orphans."

Ruan Zhao: “…”

Qin Ze placed the food on the small table and continued as if chatting with an old friend. "My brother and I grew up in an orphanage, the one behind Nantang Garden in Shanghai.

Yesterday I happened to go back to see our dean, and when I came out I saw you lying on the ground by the lake."

Ruan Zhao looked at Qin Ze's face.

I found that he still had the same pure Yin constitution as in the book, and even his personality seemed similar.

She seemed to understand that the book was written by her master, and the characters in the book seemed to be based on real people.

So, she really lost something, and this was her destiny. Now the thing has been found, so she has returned to the real world.

That way, everything makes sense.

Ruan Zhao felt the bloody aura buried deep in his soul, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

This is good, everything is back on track.

Looking at Ruan Zhao eating with big mouthfuls, Qin Ze was actually a little stunned.

For some reason, he always felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar.

After eating and drinking, Ruan Zhao asked Qin Ze to complete the discharge procedures for her.

"Qin Ze, do you have a job?"

She saw that he was not going to school, so she set her sights on him again.

Qin Ze didn't know what she was thinking, and shook his head naturally. "If a job that doesn't make money doesn't count as work, then I don't have a stable job."

Ruan Zhao smiled and said, "Then would you like to do a job that not only makes money but also you enjoy?"

Qin Ze paused and asked curiously, "Is there such a job? But I don't even know what I like.

I used to think I liked painting, but when I actually started painting, I found that painting was not very interesting. "

Ruan Zhao raised his eyebrows. "Maybe what you like is not painting, but drawing talismans?"

Qin Ze: "..."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Ruan Zhao got straight to the point. "Qin Ze, you actually saw how I fainted, right?"

Qin Ze's eyes flashed twice, but he didn't say anything.

Ruan Zhao continued, "You have had a special physique since you were young, and you have always been able to see things that others cannot see.

That day I was sealing a thousand-year-old snake demon. After I succeeded, I was ambushed by my colleagues. You saw it, right? "

Qin Ze finally nodded, "Yes, I saw it."

Seeing his admission, Ruan Zhao continued, "Then I can tell you that I am the 38th generation head of the Xuanqing Sect, and I'm about to accept a disciple. Do you want to become my disciple and learn how to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits from me?"

Qin Ze's eyes became serious.

He stared into Ruan Zhao's eyes, and after confirming that she was not joking, he asked subconsciously.

"I've heard that those who practice Taoism have five disadvantages and three flaws. So, did all the thirty-seven previous masters of the sect die because of this?"

He was just curious.

Ruan Zhao: “…”

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Ruan Zhao straightened his body and replied, "Of course not! The five disadvantages and three deficiencies are only possessed by people with low cultivation. My master and I are both highly skilled enough."

"Also, the previous thirty-seven sect leaders were all my master, who lived to be three hundred and sixty-nine years old before retiring."

Qin Ze was a little surprised. "Since they are all the same person, why do they have to do thirty-seven generations?"

"Doesn't that show that our Xuanqing Sect has a long history?"

Qin Ze: "...Okay,"

Ruan Zhao's face turned serious. "So, are you willing or not?"

Qin Ze didn't know why, but he nodded without hesitation. "Yes."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Ruan Zhao finally smiled again. "Okay. Call your brother back to be a witness, and I'll take you in as a formal disciple."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait. My brother has joined the army and is currently in the unit. He might not be back until next month."

"Oh, then I'll see you next month. Come with me to buy a house first."

Qin Ze paused, "...what to buy?"

Ruan Zhao glanced back at him and said, "Buy a house. I plan to settle down here in the future."

Two hours later, Ruan Zhao and Qin Ze stood in a villa area called Fengqimingju.

Qin Ze looked at the large garden-style villa in front of him, his expression a little numb.

"You...just like that, bought a villa?"

Ruan Zhao looked at his ignorant expression and shook his head helplessly. "Go in."

The two men walked into the villa one after the other, passing by a black Rolls-Royce that had just entered the villa area.
