"You're probably lying to me. From the beginning, you probably already found your memories, but for some reason, you just wouldn't tell me. Can you tell me now?"

I stared coldly at Ji Xinglan. I hate being deceived, and this wasn't the first time Ji Xinglan had lied to me.

From the very beginning, Ji Xinglan pretended to have feelings for me, and I was successfully deceived by her.

"No, uncle, I didn't mean to lie to you this time, I just really can't face it!"

Ji Xinglan looked at me, her body trembling, like a ravaged girl, looking pitiful. If it were before, I would have felt sorry for Ji Xinglan in this state.

But now, having been fooled so many times, I've naturally developed immunity.

"Master, trust her. She really didn't mean to lie to you. That's just her personality. She always chooses to run away from things like this. If you keep pressuring her, she'll probably develop inner demons again!"

At this moment, the lightning sword strike began, and I was speechless when I heard this.

This person has a fragile heart; they become withdrawn at the slightest provocation!

I hadn't even started scolding him yet, and she started it all on her own.

"Yes, I do have this problem. I want to face it, but I still don't have the courage. I can't imagine what Lin Momo went through inside!"

Ji Xinglan lowered her head, still looking embarrassed. I used my Heavenly Eye to observe her, and sure enough, the energy inside Ji Xinglan's body continued to increase.

I was a little surprised!

Damn it! Others' power can only be increased through continuous training or by absorbing the power of others.

Ji Xinglan is different; she can be strengthened whenever she experiences emotional fluctuations. The key point is, she has a damn fragile heart!

I was dumbfounded. This was completely a bug. When Ji Xinglan experienced emotional fluctuations, the power within her body would continuously increase.

Normally, if Ji Xinglan had this ability, she should be very strong-willed, but unfortunately, she is very sensitive.

It's as brittle as paper; it tears in an instant.

"Alright, let's face this quickly, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, we'll still die here!"

I pulled Ji Xinglan up and comforted her. I wasn't wrong; the situation was not optimistic. Even if Ji Xinglan's power continued to increase, we would all die inside if this illusion wasn't dispelled. I didn't want to die.

Ji Xinglan then overcame her fear.

Ji Xinglan gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I understand. Thank you for your encouragement. I will listen to you!" Ji Xinglan's eyes became very firm.

I took Ji Xinglan's hand, ready to go back with her.

At that moment, I subconsciously checked Ji Xinglan's energy.

Holy crap! What's going on here?!

Ji Xinglan's body startled me, because Ji Xinglan's energy had once again exploded.

The color of the energy changed once again.

I suspect that Ji Xinglan's energy underwent a transformation after she came to her senses.

I don't know what to say anymore.

Is this the left foot stepping on the right foot?

Ji Xinglan's strength increases when she experiences emotional fluctuations, but unfortunately, Ji Xinglan is very sensitive.

Fluctuations every day.

As a result, as long as Ji Xinglan overcomes her inner demons, her power will transform, and after the transformation, it will grow explosively.

I'm so envious! This kind of physique is just too incredible. If I had half of Ji Xinglan's abilities, I wouldn't be in such a predicament.

"Take your short sword. I feel your strength will still be of great use to me!"

I have a gut feeling that Ji Xinglan's power has increased so much that she will definitely play a key role later on, but I'm not sure if she will be useful now.

And so, I pulled Ji Xinglan into the office. Lin Momo's body was now completely broken.

I reckon Director Wang drained him dry. As for whether Zhang Yongnian did anything, I'm not sure yet.

Zhang Yongnian remained sitting there calmly. I noticed that his clothes were not torn, but were only slightly pulled open.

"I think you should be able to see this!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yongnian spoke up.

I was startled. I quickly thrust my sword at it, and sure enough, my sword pierced right through.

This is still an illusion. I'm a little puzzled. How can Zhang Yongnian see me?

We're not on the same dimension, so why is this happening?

"Don't be surprised. I can't see you, and you can probably only see this phantom. I can feel a force influencing me, but I don't care!"

Zhang Yongnian said something inexplicable, and I'm still thinking about it.

"I gave that girl a hint earlier, but she still couldn't control her emotions and was too late!"

Zhang Yongnian spoke to the void like this.

I looked at Ji Xinglan, but she wasn't reacting. I knew then that Ji Xinglan couldn't see Zhang Yongnian.

In other words, Zhang Yongnian was saying these things to me.

I observed Lin Momo and Director Wang. Both Director Wang and Lin Momo were frozen in place. Right now, only Zhang Yongnian and I could move around in this space!

From this, I felt even more that Zhang Yongnian was mysterious.

"No, you have a familiar power within you, but as far as I know, the current thing isn't that powerful yet. Isn't it something that happened over time? Interesting!"
