I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Bai Mengran was still immersed in the lingering charm of that fleeting glimpse, as if she had lost her soul, and mechanically walked back to the living room.

She stood there blankly for a long time, as if a part of her soul had been ripped away, her mind seemingly stuck on a loop, constantly replaying the scene that had just frozen in her mind.

Only when her consciousness gradually returned and her intelligence regained its dominance did she come to her senses and begin to recall and guess based on her memories.

Five minutes later, Bai Mengran's eyes widened suddenly, a look of astonishment flashing in her beautiful eyes. She finally pieced together a bold yet highly plausible conjecture in her mind—

Family, I mean, is there any possibility that this man... he... could he be the emperor with the deep, melodious voice?

Bai Mengran began to imagine, assuming this proposition was true...

So, by incorporating all the guesses and possibilities, everything seems to make sense and fall into place naturally!

With this hypothesis in mind, the next step... is to verify it!

Bai Mengran, who had originally planned to take a short rest after returning, was now wide awake. Her excitement made her full of fighting spirit, and she was only thinking about how to deduce and verify.

After all, it had been a long time since she had encountered a life topic that so sparked her interest, and interest is the best source of motivation.

After a moment's thought, the top student Ran decided to start by approaching Xuan Wanling and subtly trying to find out more.

So, she tentatively sent Xuan Wanling a message:

"Xiao Wanling, where are you now? Is there anyone else with you?"

While waiting for a reply, Bai Mengran sat cross-legged on the sofa, pondering to herself:

Should we also try to find out what her Feixin buddy, Lord Wang, is thinking?

Just then, her phone rang. She instantly tapped the screen; it was a reply from Xuan Wanling:

"I'm all alone here~ I'm at the appliance store learning how to use the new appliances! Sister Bai, do you want to come over?"

After failing to get any answers, just as Bai Mengran was about to try another method, Xuan Wanling unexpectedly sent her another voice message.

"Sister Bai, Sister Bai! I just received news that my royal brother has also secretly come to [Fairyland] today!"

How strange, why didn't my brother inform me beforehand so I could go and pick him up...?

It was easy to hear the excitement in Xuan Wanling's noticeably faster speech.

As she spoke, it seemed as if she was running, and even the "whooshing" sound of the wind could be clearly heard through the phone's receiver.

Upon hearing Wanling's words, Bai Mengran immediately felt that she was one step closer to her own conjecture.

Bai Mengran immediately made a video call, but cleverly turned off her own camera.

Sure enough, Xuan Wanling answered the phone immediately upon seeing that it was Sister Bai's invitation, without even glancing at the screen.

Since this was Xuan Wanling's first time making a video call, she had no idea that the camera on her phone was already turned on by default the moment the call connected.

Unsuspecting, Xuan Wanling was thrilled to hear Sister Bai's voice suddenly ring out, exclaiming how miraculous it was.

"Ah, so Fetion can be used to have direct conversations like this? I was so stupid before, I kept pressing the 'talk' button and figuring it out for ages..."

"Wanling, you just mentioned your imperial brother... does that mean the Emperor has come to our [Fairyland]?"

Bai Mengran couldn't help but interrupt her sentiments and asked directly.

Xuan Wanling, who was on her way to see her brother, paused slightly when she heard Bai Jie's question. Her face was full of surprise, as if she was puzzled as to why Bai Jie would suddenly ask about her brother.

However, she could only assume that Sister Bai was just asking out of politeness, after all, her brother was the current emperor...

Without much thought, Xuan Wanling immediately answered Sister Bai's question:

"Yes, I just received a message from Lord Wang and learned that my brother has already arrived in the [Fairyland]."

My elder brother told me to find him in a private room on the first floor of the Chinese restaurant; I'm on my way out of the appliance store right now!

Since the video call defaults to using the front-facing camera, as she jogged along, Bai Mengran could only see a slightly shaky image of her holding the phone, but it was clear enough.

At this moment, Xuan Wanling finally noticed that her face was being displayed in real-time in the small square in the upper right corner of the phone chat interface, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Why am I in the upper right corner right now...?"

Seeing her ask this, Bai Mengran had a sudden inspiration and immediately began to coax her:

"That's the default display, Wanling. Why don't you try clicking on the location where your image is displayed again and see if you can see your image anymore?"

Xuan Wanling obediently did as she was told, and sure enough, the scene immediately switched to the road in front of her.

"Hey, it really is! Sister Bai was right, it's gone in a flash!"

"That's right! Wanling is so smart~ Then I'll chat with you for a while longer."

"If you see your elder brother soon, you don't need to pay attention to this call anymore; I'll hang up on him."

"Mmm, Sister Bai is so thoughtful..."

The naive and easily coaxed Xuan Wanling could never have imagined the cunning Ran's hidden thoughts at that moment.

She happily carried her phone the whole way, chatting with Sister Bai as she hurried on her way.

Soon, Bai Mengran saw the storefront of "Unforgettable Chinese Restaurant" appear on the video screen.

Clearly, Xuan Wanling had already arrived at the restaurant entrance.

The thought that the answer she longed for might soon be revealed made Bai Mengran's heart leap into her throat, her eyes fixed on the shaky screen of her phone...

After Xuan Wanling told the clerk the name of the private room, Bai Mengran followed the shaky camera lens until she heard the clerk softly remind her, "We've arrived at the private room."

The next second, that handsome face unexpectedly entered Bai Mengran's field of vision again.

Although she was mentally prepared, her heart still started pounding uncontrollably through the screen, its rapid beat unstoppable...

Meanwhile, Xuan Wanling, who was on the other end of the call, had almost forgotten that she was still talking to Sister Bai because someone had been leading the way after they entered the restaurant and Bai Mengran hadn't said a word.

As the door to the private room was slowly pushed open, the moment Xuan Wanling saw her elder brother, she rushed forward and ran straight to Xuan Moyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, to greet him warmly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wanling has arrived. I shall take my leave now."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wishes to summon me, please send a message at any time, and I will be ready to await your arrival..."

Upon seeing the princess arrive, the astute Wang Fantong immediately rose to take his leave.

Presumably, the royal brother and sister had something to say to each other that he, as an outsider, couldn't hear.

"Well then, I'll have to trouble you, Minister Wang."

Xuan Moyuan waved his hand, signaling him to step back first.
