"Hello, host. An anomaly detected in the world. Please be aware. Beep beep, an anomaly detected in the world. Please be aware." The system's voice frantically rang in Yan Wan's mind.
Yan Wan's expression changed instantly. How could this be? The world in the book was predetermined by the author and would develop according to a set trajectory. How could something be wrong now? Could it be that a reincarnated person or a new transmigrator has appeared?
"System, what does it mean that there's an anomaly?" Yan Wan asked nervously, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
"Host, the system has detected that a person who died in the book has reappeared."
"The person who died in the book has reappeared? What does that mean? Do you know who it is?" Yan Wan asked one question after another.
"Beep beep, host, the system hasn't found anything yet. Please give the system some time to investigate."
"Okay, thank you." Yan Wan sincerely thanked the system. She was truly grateful to the system for bringing her into this world and for its continued help.
"You're welcome, host. It's what the system should do." The system gave a shy smile.
"Beep beep, host, the system has detected that the person who died in the book was Ji Mo'an, but now it has been detected that he still has vital signs." The system's voice came calmly.
Yan Wan felt like she was going crazy when she heard this. The world was already in chaos, and now an even more serious situation had arisen.
“Ji Mo An? Uncle An? Wasn’t he a character the author only mentioned briefly in the original book? How could he still be alive?” Yan Wan asked in confusion.
"I don't know, host," the system replied honestly.
"Since Uncle An is still alive, and he managed to survive by finding a loophole in the book, if that's the case, then if I hadn't drawn the life-changing talisman, could I have also used a loophole to help Ji Mohan survive?" Yan Wan thought happily. She really wanted to ask Ji Moan how he managed to avoid the influence of the plot and survive.
"Beep beep, host, a new mission has arrived! Please accept."
Yan Wan saw the task message pop up on the page. She clicked on it lightly, and the task appeared. However, Yan Wan frowned after seeing it.
Mission: Reach the Northwest alive!
Yan Wan looked at the mission with some doubt: to reach the Northwest alive? Who was to reach the Northwest alive? Ji Mohan? But along the way, apart from the occasional attacks from refugees, they hadn't encountered any other dangers.
Could it be?
Is someone trying to kill them?
Who exactly is it?
Jimo An?
Or is it the old emperor?
Yan Wan was genuinely worried, so she called Ji Mohan in and tentatively said, "Hanhan, I feel uneasy. I have a feeling that something is about to happen. Will we be in danger?"
Ji Mohan looked at Yan Wan, whose face was deathly pale, and gently pulled her into his arms, whispering, "It's alright. No matter what happens, I will always be there to protect you."
Ji Mohan also sensed the impending storm, and his intuition was never wrong.
"Hanhan, we need to be more vigilant tonight. I have a feeling something is about to happen," Yan Wan said, staring intently into Ji Mohan's eyes.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, I'll be right next to your carriage tonight. I'll watch over you, so you can sleep peacefully," Ji Mohan said in a deep voice. He noticed that Yan Wan's expression was a little off, just like when she borrowed the golden silk armor from Ouyang De last time.
He never doubted Yan Wan. He knew she was keeping a secret, but she didn't want to tell him. Ji Mohan didn't want to treat Yan Wan the same way he treated others; he wanted her to truly trust him and open her heart to him.
Yan Wan looked up into Ji Mohan's eyes. She suddenly wanted to tell him everything, but how could she do it? Should she tell him that she was leaving him too? That would be too cruel for him.
Yan Wan lowered her head unconsciously, her eyes darting away. She said softly, "Hanhan, I want to be by myself for a while."
Ji Mohan looked at Yan Wan with her head down, wanting to say something, but said nothing. He sensed that Yan Wan was somewhat disappointed and sad. Finally, with a complicated expression, he glanced at Yan Wan, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
As soon as he walked out, Yan Wan's tears fell. She gently hugged herself, put her head in her knees, bit her arm, and cried silently, afraid that Ji Mohan would hear her crying.
She really, really wanted to stay and be with Ji Mohan.
Ji Mohan quietly rested by the window, secretly watching Yan Wan wipe away her tears with her back to him. His heart felt like it was being squeezed into a ball, and he felt so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
He really wanted to go in and hug Yan Wan, to tell her that he would face whatever came his way with her, as long as she stopped crying. In the end, reason prevailed over emotion. Ji Mohan lowered the curtain, leaned back against the carriage, and listened to Yan Wan's deliberately suppressed sobs.
Yan Wan, what secret do you have that's making you so sad?
Ji Mohan waited by the carriage for a long time before he heard Yan Wan's suppressed sobs. He lifted the curtain and saw that Yan Wan had fallen asleep. Ji Mohan sighed, went into the carriage, and carried Yan Wan to the bedding beside him. Yan Wan was sleeping very soundly, clearly exhausted from traveling day and night for the past few days.
With a look of heartache, Ji Mohan raised his hand to wipe away Yan Wan's tears, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and then walked out.
Sleep peacefully, my queen.
Ji Mohan raised his hand to signal the carriage to slow down on the road, and then called his men to arrange for everyone to keep watch that night.
Li Shang also sensed something was wrong. He felt someone was watching him from behind, but when he turned around to look closely, there was no one there.
Li Shang's eyes darkened, and he quickly rode off on his horse. As he rode, he jumped off and rolled into the grass to hide.
Sure enough, just as he concealed himself, two men in black landed on the ground. They looked around, then, seeing the horses suddenly galloping at an incredible speed, they gave chase.
Looking at the two men in black, Li Shang understood. It seemed that someone wanted to kill him and had hired guards to assassinate him.
Li Shang lay there for a while, then slowly got up, cautiously observing his surroundings. Finding nothing amiss, he finally stepped forward. Li Shang hadn't expected his opponent to be so willing to go to such lengths, sending several groups of people to kill him. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to draw his sword and meet the attack head-on.
Li Shang fought the man in black for a long time, but gradually became exhausted. He was also stabbed several times and lost too much blood. He felt his body was losing temperature. He observed the man in black in front of him and found an opportunity to escape from the encirclement.
Li Shang concealed his figure and walked unsteadily through the woods. He covered his wound with one hand and gripped his sword tightly with the other. Finally, he collapsed into the bushes beside him, exhausted.
He thought, "I can finally see my aunt."
