After a two-hour flight, the plane landed on an island.

Due to the special nature of the fasting place, the Phoenix team could only escort Lin Qiye to the entrance and wait for the staff inside to take him in.

Xia Simeng, holding the handover documents, shrugged at Lin Qiye, "We can only take you this far. A doctor will take you inside later."

Lin Qiye stepped off the plane, politely thanked the Phoenix team, and then stood in front of the fasting camp checkpoint, gazing at the heavily guarded gate.

"Senior, aren't we going to escort Lin Qiye inside?" Jiang Shiyuan asked curiously.

“We won’t go in. Given Lin Qiye’s condition, the hospital has already arranged for someone to meet him,” Kong Shang explained.

Jiang Shiyuan nodded, then pouted at Lin Qiye's retreating figure.

Lin Qiye turned around and glanced at Jiang Shiyuan, who was still somewhat awkward. "Are you still angry?"

"No." Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips. She was really not angry, just a little confused. But Lin Qiye was about to go in, so she had enough time to calm down.

Their conversation ended there. A doctor wearing black-rimmed glasses came out of the fasting room, took the documents from Xia Simeng, flipped through a few pages, and finally spotted Lin Qiye in the crowd. "Hello, I am your attending physician. Please come in with me."

Lin Qiye stared at Dr. Li, "Dr. Li?"

“It’s me.” Dr. Li smiled at him.

"So the 'Sunshine' mental hospital that treated me and the fasting center were the same place?" Lin Qiye was still somewhat surprised, even though he had a premonition.

“That’s not it.” Dr. Li led Lin Qiye into the fasting area, adding under Lin Qiye’s increasingly puzzled gaze, “That’s our branch hospital.”

Lin Qiye: "Isn't that obvious?"

At the last second before entering the fasting place, Lin Qiye turned around and looked at the nine figures beside the plane.

Jiang Shiyuan hesitated for a moment, then waved at him and shouted, "Lin Qiye, please don't give up on treatment!"

Lin Qiye: "..." He hadn't planned to give up on treatment anyway.

However, he couldn't help but smile again.

Lin Qiye turned and stepped into the fasting hall. The towering black walls concealed his figure, preventing outsiders from seeing what was happening inside.

Dr. Li led Lin Qiye along the way, explaining the precautions for the 'Sunshine' Mental Hospital.

At first, Lin Qiye responded seriously to every word Dr. Li said, but after a few minutes, his pace slowed down, and even his responses became absent-minded.

Dr. Li noticed Lin Qiye's strange behavior immediately, and when he turned his head, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Even if you didn't want to go to a mental hospital, you didn't have to change like this in an instant, did you?"

Lin Qiye looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, as if he had been working himself to the bone for years and was on the verge of sudden death. He was nothing like the handsome young man he had just been.

"What will it become?" Lin Qiye asked somewhat slowly.

Dr. Li took out a small piece of round mirror and handed it to Lin Qiye, saying, "Make yourself look like someone whose life force has been drained by a ghost."

Lin Qiye only realized when he saw himself in the mirror that the transformation magic on his body had failed.

Because he didn't want Jiang Shiyuan to see him looking so dejected, he used transformation magic to change his appearance back to its best state just as Jiang Shiyuan turned to draw the curtains.

However, the existence of the Zhenxu Stele within the Fasting Hall means that, apart from a few forbidden voids that can alter physical strength and still have some effect, the other forbidden voids will be suppressed. From the moment he stepped into the Fasting Hall, the divine void on his body began to be suppressed, and now the transformation magic has completely disappeared, revealing the true state that he had deliberately concealed.

Lin Qiye gave a bitter smile at his reflection in the mirror. His first thought was that it was a good thing the Phoenix team hadn't sent him directly to the fasting camp. Otherwise, if Jiang Shiyuan saw him like this, she would realize that he was deliberately lying to her, and then she probably wouldn't be able to coax him no matter what.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Li, I haven't been sleeping well these past two days, so I'm not feeling very well."

Lin Qiye felt somewhat apologetic and gave Dr. Li a dazed smile.

He didn't know if it was because the divine power within him was suppressed when he entered the fasting place, but he always felt that his mind was both clear and somewhat confused, as if something in his mind was about to break through the soil.

Lin Qiye pondered for a while, then came to a conclusion: hehe, he might be starting to get a brain.

Some of his rationality faded, along with some of his memories. What were those memories again?

Lin Qiye stopped and covered his head, deep in thought...

Seeing that something was wrong, Dr. Li, who was standing beside him, almost blurted out a curse: "We're almost at the hospital, please hang in there a little longer, can you have another attack later?!"

Meanwhile, Lin Qiye had already begun brainstorming; he felt he was about to remember what he had forgotten…

"I remembered..."

……

Outside the fasting place.

"Let's go, the sooner we get back, the more rest we can get." After Lin Qiye had completely entered the fasting chamber, Xia Simeng waved to the other members of the [Phoenix] team and boarded the plane.

Jiang Shiyuan paused for a moment, sighed, then turned around and followed Xia Simeng back to her seat. As she listened to the sound of the plane starting up, her thoughts drifted away.

What exactly did Lin Qiye mean today?

Could it be that she was so charming that Lin Qiye fell in love with her directly?

She and Lin Qiye had spent so much time together, it was impossible for her to have no feelings for each other at all. But these feelings were just the friendship between friends. After all, her interactions with Lin Qiye were quite natural, and she hadn't noticed any signs of this between them before.

No, maybe Lin Qiye didn't mean that at all!

Actually, hugging isn't a big deal, since in some places it's just a matter of etiquette.

These days, even language has become inflated; "love you baby" now just means "you're a good friend."

Perhaps it was because Lin Qiye was so moved by her saving his aunt that he didn't know how to express his gratitude, so Lin Qiye's actions were a little exaggerated?

This is possible.

After all, the captain, Lao Zhao, and Sister Hongying often pat her head, which is obviously the affection of elders for juniors. Lin Qiye also likes to pat her head, so it's reasonable that he would have affectionate feelings for her as well!

So it's highly likely that Lin Qiye made a mistake because he was feeling gratified. He probably just wanted to say to her, "Child, you did a great job."

Jiang Shiyuan's mind was in complete turmoil. Her strong reaction might even seem strange to Lin Qiye. But she genuinely couldn't stay calm!

Sigh, someone else just used a basic attack, and she immediately lost.

And so, Jiang Shiyuan stared at the empty space in front of her, lost in thought for a long time.

……

Time flew by as Jiang Shiyuan struggled with her decision, and three hours later, she successfully returned to the capital.

When she got off the plane, Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and put Lin Qiye out of her mind.

Regardless, Lin Qiye has her destined lover, and she must also stick to her own heart...
