51: The illusion has been altered; is the wedding approaching?

"I should see if I can sense my original body!"

With this thought, Su Yun closed his eyes. Relying on his connection with the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl, he successfully sensed his Physical Body.

Through this sensation, he discovered that his Physical Body was not injured, but he was unable to return his consciousness to it.

"It seems I can only pass through the illusionary realm's trial!"

"Although I could directly use Luck Points to break the illusionary realm..."

"...doing so would be too wasteful. Since it is a trial, there must be a way to crack it!"

Su Yun suddenly recalled what the System had just said.

"Right, let me first try if the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl can modify parts of the illusionary realm!"

Su Yun concentrated his consciousness on the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl.

Currently, his body in the illusionary realm was that of a Mortal, and a rather weak one at that.

If the An Family had cultivators, he would definitely be delivering himself to his death if he just went over there.

The most important thing right now was to strengthen his combat power.

"It's not working!"

Su Yun speechlessly discovered that he simply couldn't modify himself into a cultivator.

Furthermore, through the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl, he realized that everyone in this city was a Mortal.

There didn't seem to be a single cultivator in the entire illusionary realm.

While this was good news...

...he found that his current illusionary Physical Body could not be modified.

He wasn't sure if it was because the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl was a damaged Immortal Artifact with incomplete functions...

...or because the role he was currently playing was a key character within the illusionary realm, making it unchangeable.

"So that's how you want to play?"

"If I can't modify myself, I'll modify others!"

Su Yun began attempting to remotely dispel the false memories in An Yuyao's mind.

Unfortunately, he still failed.

Then he tried to create firearms and ammunition within the illusionary realm, but failed because he was unfamiliar with their internal structures.

"Good grief, this doesn't work, that doesn't work."

"Trying to use a cheat is way too difficult!"

"Fine, fine, fine, then I'll modify it like this!"

Su Yun's imagination ran wild as he suddenly had an idea.

Since key characters couldn't be changed and he couldn't create high-tech weapons...

...he could modify non-key characters.

For example, a general of a neighboring country.

With this thought, Su Yun immediately began the modification.

Before long, the setting for the neighboring country's general was modified.

His current identity was the descendant of the savior of the neighboring country's general, Yu Meng.

When Yu Meng was young, he had been hunted by thugs and was later saved by Su Yun's parents by chance.

After his body recovered, he wanted to repay the favor, but Su Yun's parents had already left.

Recently, when Yu Meng led his troops to successfully capture a city, he arrested all the local wealthy families.

He unexpectedly discovered that a servant who had escaped from one of those wealthy families was the descendant of his savior.

Hearing that Su Yun had lived a hard life all these years, he now wanted to take good care of Su Yun.

This was to repay the life-saving favor of Su Yun's parents.

"Perfect. Relying on the general's military force, the combat power will be sufficient."

"Now, I should go investigate the situation of the An Family!"

"To prevent the master of the illusionary realm from noticing anything abnormal, I can't use the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl for scouting anymore!"

Su Yun stopped modifying the illusionary realm and walked towards the location of the An Family from his false memories.

He now planned to figure out exactly what ill intentions the An Family had.

Generally speaking, many people would discuss the affairs of such a large Family.

So he decided to first head to a restaurant or teahouse near the An Family to gather information.

Su Yun had a premonition that he could find clues in these places... Cuiyan City, An Family.

Inside an exquisitely decorated bedroom, An Yuyao sat listlessly on the bed.

She wore an elegant blue dress embroidered with beautiful decorations.

Her golden hair fell in two parts over her snowy-white shoulders.

A hairpin inlaid with jade was tucked into her hair, radiating colorful light under the sun.

But the fly in the ointment was her pale golden eyes, which gazed blankly out the window.

"Why is it that having a home makes me less happy than before?"

"Father, why do you treat me so coldly after acknowledging me and bringing me home?"

"Is it because my biological mother was only a concubine?"

"And why do I feel like something is wrong?"

An Yuyao's mind was a mess of chaotic thoughts.

She was starting to regret returning to the An Family.

Having grown up without parents, she had especially yearned for Family affection.

So when her biological father came to claim her, she followed him back to the An Family without hesitation.

Because of this, she even had a conflict with her best friend, Su Yun.

Would Su Yun now think she was a woman who favored the rich and disdained the poor?

Otherwise, why wouldn't he accept her suggestion? As the An Family's Young Miss, she could have found him a very good job.

"Miss Yuyao, the Madam is looking for you! Please come with us to the Madam's place."

Just then, several maidservants suddenly arrived outside An Yuyao's bedroom door, knocking gently as they spoke.

"What does the Madam want with me?"

An Yuyao was somewhat puzzled. The Madam was her father's primary wife.

Logically, as the daughter of a concubine, the Madam should not like her.

But these past few days, she felt the Madam was even kinder than her biological father.

The clothes and decorations she wore were all gifts from the Madam.

"Miss Yuyao will know once you go. It's a very good thing!"

One of the maidservants looked at An Yuyao with a faint, ambiguous smile.

But An Yuyao felt there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Alright, I'll go right away!"

An Yuyao stood up, walked to the mirror, and smoothed out some wrinkles in her dress.

She then picked up a comb to tidy her hair before following the maidservants out of the bedroom... to the An Family's main hall.

After An Yuyao entered the room, she found that the Madam, Shen Tinglan, had already been waiting for a long time.

Shen Tinglan was dressed in luxurious casual wear, adorned with a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, and was sitting there sipping tea.

"Mother, did you need your daughter for something?"

"Yaoer, you are no longer young; it's time for you to marry."

"I have found a marriage match for you. The other party is the heir to a great Family."

"This marriage was originally intended for your elder sister, but unfortunately, your sister has a playful nature and is unwilling to marry so early."

Shen Tinglan looked at An Yuyao with a smile and spoke in a concerned tone.

"This..."

"Your daughter does not wish to marry so early yet. I still want to show filial piety to Father and Mother."

As An Yuyao spoke, Su Yun's figure surfaced in her mind.

For some reason, she subconsciously rejected this marriage.

Normally, with the command of parents and the words of a matchmaker, she shouldn't have refused.

Upon hearing An Yuyao's answer, Shen Tinglan's smile stiffened, and her tone changed.

"Yaoer, how have I treated you?"

Her voice became somewhat hurried, as if she were suppressing something.

"Mother has been very good to me, but I still don't want to marry so early."

"Since I have been good to you, it's impossible for me to harm you!"

"You wandered outside for so long; it's only right to marry into a good Family so you can live a happy life in the future."

"The marriage has already been settled. You will marry in four days."

"But..."

"You wouldn't want your father to be disappointed in you, would you? He places great importance on this marriage."

"I..."

"Go back to your room and prepare yourself mentally!"

"Someone, take Yaoer back to her room."

Shen Tinglan waved her hand to cut off An Yuyao's words and ordered the maidservants to take her back to her room.
