50: Entering a dream world, filled with false memories?

The two jade pendants emitted a dazzling light simultaneously.

Su Yun and An Yuyao vanished from the air instantly.

The other Inner Sect Disciples in the air looked at each other, wondering what had happened... In an unknown space within the Xuanji Secret Realm.

Su Yun looked around.

The space was gray everywhere, and there was nothing except a strangely shaped door.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, where did you get this jade pendant?"

An Yuyao asked with a face full of surprise.

At this moment, she didn't care about where she was.

She cared more about why Su Yun had taken out that jade pendant.

When An Yuyao's engagement was first set, her parents had mysteriously given her this jade pendant.

They also said this jade pendant hid a Heaven-Defying Legacy.

This jade pendant was part of a pair; the other one was with Zhang Tian.

Most importantly, there were rumors that the Legacy could only be obtained if two people in love held the pair of jade pendants at the same time.

Because the jade pendant was so precious, An Yuyao had always worn it on her person.

Earlier, she had noticed Zhang Tian wasn't wearing the other one and thought he had lost it.

So, in a fit of anger, she had put the jade pendant back into her Storage Ring.

But she hadn't expected Junior Brother Su Yun to obtain this jade pendant; didn't this signify her destiny with him?

"This jade pendant was a gift when I bought a Spiritual Artifact in Azure Sun City!"

Su Yun said calmly.

"So that's how it is. It seems it was destined..."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing..."

A blush appeared on An Yuyao's pretty face.

At the same time, her heart was cheering with joy.

It turned out everything was destined; she was destined to fall in love with Junior Brother Su Yun.

Otherwise, how could it be explained that Su Yun buying a Spiritual Artifact would happen to include this jade pendant as a gift?

Su Yun walked to the strange door and began to observe it.

Suddenly he discovered something and quickly said:

"This door has a groove, and it seems to be the same size as the jade pendants."

"Hmm? Let me see."

An Yuyao came back to her senses, walked lightly to Su Yun's side, and also began to observe the door.

"This groove fits exactly two jade pendants."

Su Yun concluded after observing the size of the groove.

"Senior Sister Yuyao, let's put the jade pendants into this groove at the same time!"

"Okay."

An Yuyao stood on tiptoe and put her jade pendant into the groove.

Su Yun also put his jade pendant into the groove at the same time.

"Click."

After a soft sound.

A large number of lines appeared on the entire door, lines similar to formation patterns.

As the formation patterns were activated, the door slowly opened.

Thick fog appeared inside, and nothing could be seen clearly; it looked a bit eerie and terrifying.

Out of the corner of his eye, Su Yun noticed An Yuyao seemed a bit afraid.

Her jade-like hands were crossed behind her back, trembling slightly.

Su Yun directly reached out and held one of An Yuyao's hands, saying:

"Senior Sister Yuyao, don't be afraid, let's go in together!"

"Mm-hmm."

Feeling the warmth from his hand, the fear in An Yuyao's heart was instantly dispelled.

She held Su Yun's hand tightly, not wanting to let go.

The two of them walked into the door hand in hand.

When both of them had entered, the door disappeared... Inside Cuiyan City.

"Buns for sale! Freshly baked buns!"

"Vegetables for sale, fresh vegetables picked today!"

Vendors on the street were shouting enthusiastically.

At this time, a handsome young man passed by the bun shop.

Seeing him dressed in rags and looking like he hadn't eaten for a long time, the bun shop owner quickly greeted him:

"Young man, want a bun? They're very cheap, one wen each. Delicious and filling!"

"Seeing as you're not very well-off, take this bun to eat first! Don't starve yourself!"

"No need, thank you for your kindness, boss!"

After politely thanking the boss, the young man quickened his pace and left the street.

At this moment, a piece of information appeared in the young man's mind.

"Your name is Su Yun. Your parents died when you were young, and after growing up, you made a living as a handyman in a wealthy household."

"By a stroke of luck, you met the Weaver Girl, An Yuyao."

"Because of your similar backgrounds, you became very good friends."

"Recently, the city you lived in before was captured by soldiers from a neighboring country."

"All the servants in the wealthy household fled."

"So you and An Yuyao left that city overnight and traveled for a month to reach Cuiyan City."

"Shortly after arriving in Cuiyan City, An Yuyao was found by her biological father."

"Her biological father is the Clan Chief of the An Family, a major Family in Cuiyan City."

"An Yuyao has longed for Family affection since childhood, so she quickly agreed to return to the An Family and invited you to go as well."

"But you felt something was wrong, and besides, you wanted to be self-reliant, so you refused and advised her to be careful."

"Just like that, the two of you had your first conflict. An Yuyao went to the An Family, while you were left wandering the streets."

Su Yun stood by the street entrance, rubbing his head, feeling that something was wrong.

Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding, detected an unknown power affecting the Host's memory, about to activate the System defense mechanism.]

"Who is speaking in my mind?"

"Strange, why does this voice sound a bit familiar?"

[Ding, System defense mechanism activated, clearing unknown power.]

"Wait, System?"

"I'm a transmigrator?"

"Holy crap, how did I lose my memory? I even forgot about my System bro."

"Wasn't I exploring a Secret Realm with An Yuyao? How did I get to this ghostly place?"

"System, tell me what's going on."

[Ding, detected the Host has entered a large-scale illusionary realm. According to the analysis of the power just expelled, the following information can be obtained:]

[The Host's consciousness has entered a role-playing illusionary realm; the Host is now playing a certain role.]

[In order to test the entrants, this illusionary realm specifically blocks the entrants' original memories and fabricates partial false memories.]

[To pass the illusionary realm, the Host must fulfill certain conditions.]

[Of course, the Host can break the illusionary realm through Luck Points.]

[Friendly reminder: the Host can try calling upon the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl within the Host's true body to interfere with some of the illusionary realm's content.]

"Good grief, playing a game, are we?"

"Even role-playing has come out?"

"If I didn't have the System, wouldn't I possibly be trapped in the illusionary realm forever?"

"Right, where's An Yuyao?"

Thinking of this, Su Yun realized he hadn't seen An Yuyao since entering this illusionary realm.

"Could she be the An Yuyao in the current false memory?"

"Then she should be in the An Family now."

"She probably has fabricated false memories now too."

"No, An Yuyao might be in danger."

Su Yun recalled the content of the previous false memory.

The version of himself in the false memory believed the An Family's recognition of An Yuyao was ill-intentioned.

So it's very likely the An Family recognized An Yuyao for some purpose.

Since this illusionary realm is a test, is it to have me expose the An Family's purpose and rescue An Yuyao?
