The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

Emperor Xin's gaze was fixed on Ying Ni's face, filled with concern and confusion. Ying Ni's brow furrowed, a flicker of pain in her eyes, as if recalling some past events she didn't want to touch. Seeing this, Emperor Xin hurriedly spoke up to interrupt Ying Ni's musings, trying to bring her back to reality from her painful memories. "Then do you know who the variable is?"

Ying Xuan broke free from her memories. She waved her hands helplessly, her voice weak, "I don't know either. To be precise, the Dao doesn't want me to know, but I know someone who should know."

Bai Fan quietly finished his barbecue. Ying Ni's words piqued his interest. He asked curiously, "Who? Does the Dao allow it?"

Bai Fan and Di Xin were stunned by Ying Ni's words. There were actually people in this world who could explore things that the Great Dao didn't want others to know. Ying Ni's voice echoed in the air, "Of course. My destiny can see through the fate of everything in the world, and he can explore the cause and effect of everything in the world."

As Bai Fan listened to Ying Li's story, a familiar feeling welled up within him. The only person in the world capable of exploring cause and effect was that person. "You're not referring to that person, are you?" Bai Fan turned and glanced around, referring to the person whose cause and effect he could trace to the person who was gossiping about him.

Emperor Xin was somewhat puzzled. Bai Fan was usually not so cautious when discussing other people, and he was a little curious about this person. He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you referring to?"

Ying Ni smiled faintly, seeming to be slightly relieved by Emperor Xin's doubts. She spoke slowly, a hint of mystery in her tone, "He is the legendary being who controls the power of cause and effect, who can see through all causes and effects and know all the secrets of the world."

Upon hearing this, Bai Fan fell into deep thought. He recalled the legendary figure, whose abilities truly transcended those of ordinary people, able to see through everything, even knowing countless things in the world through cause and effect. Bai Fan couldn't help but sigh, "If it really is him, then he does have this ability."

Upon hearing Bai Fan's confirmation, Emperor Xin became even more curious. He desperately wanted to learn more about this mysterious figure. "So, how can we find him?"

Ying Ni sighed softly. She knew finding him wouldn't be easy, and besides, she didn't want to. She said slowly, "His whereabouts are erratic, and besides, I don't know where he is right now."

Emperor Xin's brows furrowed, as if he couldn't accept this answer. He pressed on, "Is there no way to contact him? Or, are there any clues that can guide us?"

Ying Li shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "His existence is like the wind, invisible and intangible. As for clues, I can only say that if chance strikes, perhaps we can meet him."

Bai Fan listened to Ying Ni's words, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. He believed that as long as they remained vigilant, they would one day encounter the legendary being. "Then, let's wait patiently and remain vigilant. When the opportunity arises, we will naturally discover something."

Although Emperor Xin was unwilling, he knew there was no time to rush. He nodded, agreeing with Bai Fan. "Alright, this is the only way we can do it. Ying Ni, you should also be careful and don't let the past affect you."

Ying Xuan smiled slightly and looked at Emperor Xin with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention. Now, we can only wait for the variables to appear. I hope it won't make us wait too long."

On this warm and peaceful night, Bai Fan and Di Xin sat across from Ying Ni, the three of them enjoying the delicious barbecue. The air was filled with the mixed aroma of charcoal and spices, and the flickering flames reflected on their faces, adding a touch of romance to the night. The plates in front of Bai Fan and Di Xin were empty, but Ying Ni's plate still had quite a bit of food left. Bai Fan touched his head sheepishly, and asked with a hint of guilt, "Um, Ying Ni, are you full? If not, we can grill some more."

Ying Ni's gaze shifted from the mess before her to the table as Bai Fan spoke. She gently rubbed her stomach and said with a hint of joking, "I'm not full. You two ate it all." Under Ying Ni's gaze, Bai Fan and Di Xin immediately stood up, apologetically returning to the grill and busily preparing new ingredients.

Bai Fan stood by the grill, his gaze fixed intently on the dancing flames, the barbecue fork in his hand gently twirling as he moved. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something profound. His voice inadvertently shattered the momentary tranquility, "Ying Ni, I remember you had a brief but beautiful fling with that person."

Ying Ni, who was enjoying her wine, suddenly choked upon hearing this, and the wine spurted out of her mouth, splashing onto the table. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and slowly uttered a few words: "None of your business, I'll roast you."

Emperor Xin, standing next to Bai Fan, had initially shown little interest in the barbecue, but his interest was piqued after hearing Bai Fan's words. Although he had previously been a high-ranking emperor, he had always disdained such gossip, but months of filming had gradually acclimated him to the mundane world. He looked at Ying Ni curiously, anticipating her response.

Facing two pairs of curious eyes, Ying Ni felt helpless. She slowly raised her head, her gaze firm and calm, as if telling them that the past was gone with the wind. Now she was only concerned with the plate of meat that was about to be grilled. She responded casually, "You should focus on your own affairs."

Bai Fan flipped the barbecue helplessly. The barbecue fork seemed to come alive in his hand, gently rotating with his rhythm, and the aroma of barbecue gradually filled the air.

Ying Li lowered her head. Bai Fan's question reminded her of the memory that she didn't want to touch. However, she felt that something was wrong recently. She seemed to remember too many things in the past. Could it be that the way of heaven or the way of the Tao was affecting her?

Ying Ni stood in the cool night breeze, gazing at the backs of Bai Fan and Di Xin, a trace of doubt welling up in her heart. It was already dark, the sky dotted with stars, and the moonlight shone upon them, adding a touch of mystery to the quiet evening. She asked softly, "Are you two planning to go back, or stay in the nearby villa for the night?"

Bai Fan and Di Xin exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding flickering in their eyes. They answered in unison, "Let's go live in the villa." There was a hint of determination in their voices, as if they were avoiding something. They didn't want to go back, didn't want to fall into that great demon's control again, didn't want to be enslaved again.
