On the vast land, above Ancient Moon Town, the sky's light and cloud shadows lingered in front of the dense fog but could never penetrate it.
The three of them stood within, feeling as though they had been forgotten by the world.
They could sense the passage of time but could not feel the changing of spaces.
During this time, whether they kept flying upwards or dug downwards, they felt no significant change.
No matter how they flew, the sky remained the same, and no matter how they dug, the slate remained slate.
Time lost its sense, and space yielded nothing.
"By now, I've confirmed one thing,"
When Liuli tried yet another distant technique from the Immortal Realm, still unable to stir the fog, she finally declared with certainty.
"What?"
Although he already knew the answer, Xu Yuan still played the role of a good audience.
"We... have fallen into an Illusory Realm."
Liuli looked up at the sky obscured by fog, her expression tranquil.
"Illusory Realm?"
Lin Qingque furrowed her brows and asked, "When did this happen?"
"I think, perhaps it's because Mr. Xu took the vegetables from the vendor's hands."
Liuli glanced towards Xu Yuan's empty right hand, her gaze mild yet suggestive.
"What?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Is that related to the Illusory Realm?"
"How could it be?"
Lin Qingque instinctively wanted to defend him.
But what Liuli said seemed not entirely without reason.
After all, it was indeed after he took those vegetables that the fog suddenly appeared.
Could it really be that the senior brother inadvertently incurred disaster?
But, what of it?
Lin Qingque took a subtle step forward, covertly shielding Xu Yuan.
She detected Liuli's intention to sow discord.
"No..."
Noticing her step, Liuli suddenly shook her head and looked down at her feet.
"I misspoke. Actually, from the moment we stepped into this town, we had already fallen into the Illusory Realm."
"Heaven is merciful, the Immortal Masters have finally come; our half-month wait was not in vain."
Upon hearing his affirmative response, the crowd displayed expressions of excitement and joy, as if they had seen their savior.
Half a month?
Xu Yuan turned his head and whispered, "Junior Sister, could you please check if they are all genuine?"
"Senior Brother..."
Lin Qingque looked slightly surprised but soon understood his meaning and nodded subtly.
The next moment, spiritual light concentrated in her eyes, and a mysterious seal emerged from within.
Shortly after, Lin Qingque's complexion turned slightly pale, and she faltered slightly, her voice strained as she said, "Senior Brother, these people are indeed the villagers from Ancient Moon Town."
Clearly, reading the heart voices of most of the people in such a short time was somewhat overwhelming even for her, yet she persevered.
Xu Yuan supported her slightly and nodded, saying softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister."
"It's nothing."
Receiving his care and praise, Lin Qingque's face brightened into a smile, no longer feeling the task to be laborious.
Meanwhile, Tian Liuli slightly closed her eyes.
Xu Yuan stepped forward and asked, "What exactly happened here?"
"Immortal Master, this is what happened!"
"Let me explain!"
...
As soon as he asked, an outburst of chirping voices responded, causing the two young women behind him to frown.
Xu Yuan sighed softly and said, "Please, quiet down."
His voice was gentle, yet it fell like a large stone into a lake, the splash silencing everyone's voices completely.
The surface of the lake was calm; everyone stopped speaking.
Xu Yuan casually looked at a little girl who was pushed to the front by the crowd, and asked her with a smile.
"Little girl, do you know what happened?"
"Yes, yes."
The girl's crisp voice revealed a bit of nervousness, as if unaccustomed to so much attention.
"Good, then you tell us."
He crouched down slightly, smiling kindly.
"Okay..."
Behind him, Lin Qingque watched this scene, her gaze slightly dazed as if it evoked some distant memory.
Tian Liuli frowned thoughtfully, her gaze deep and meaningful.
