"Are you sure you saw it clearly?" Old Master Lin stared at the old butler with sharp eyes.
The old butler's expression was serious. "I'm absolutely not mistaken. If you want to know if it's true or not, you can test it during lunch time."
"Well, if it's really as you said, I'm sure this brat won't be able to come downstairs, and the ancestor will definitely use the excuse of not waking up yet as an excuse to shirk responsibility." The corners of Old Master Lin's mouth slowly curled up, with a hint of obscurity, but his smile grew brighter and brighter. "Then... I've raised him for so many years, it's time to collect some interest."
The old butler also laughed and said, "I congratulate you in advance on getting what you wished for."
Li Yancheng had been guarding Yan Xi's body for an hour, but there was still no movement. As time passed, his anxiety reached its peak and his patience was about to run out. Just at this moment, the old housekeeper came knocking on the door.
Li Yancheng's guard suddenly surged, and he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The old housekeeper said: "Grandpa, it's lunch time. The master ordered me to invite you down to eat."
"I don't need to eat, so I won't go."
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper said as if he didn't understand anything: "But everyone is waiting for you, Old Ancestor. The master said that even if you don't need to eat, you should still show some respect to avoid arousing suspicion from your grandchildren. After all, your current status... is not appropriate."
Hearing this, Li Yancheng's eyes turned cold, "It will be the same if I see them again someday."
"Well..." Seeing that he couldn't invite him, the old butler decided not to treat him. Instead, he said, "In that case, you can have a good rest. But the young master has to eat anyway, right? Young master, what do you think?"
Damn it, you still won’t give up, right?
Li Yancheng's face darkened and the darkness in his eyes grew darker. It seemed that they had noticed something.
If they don't take action and instead use his identity to pressure them, it will only confirm their suspicions.
Li Yancheng looked at the boy with his eyes closed on the bed. Something occurred to him. He suddenly raised his eyes, pulled off the wooden hairpin on his head, and whispered, "Haitang, it's time to send you into battle."
The old butler outside the door didn't hear a response for a long time. He curled his lips, his eyes full of calculation, but he still called out again in a fake manner, "Young Master, you must go down to eat. The master still has something to say to you in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and the housekeeper who was leaning against the door almost lost his balance.
The young man with delicate features leaned against Li Yancheng uncomfortably. Seeing him, he said weakly, "I'm not feeling well. Please tell my grandfather that I'll go to his study later. I'm feeling listless right now and just want a good night's sleep."
As the young man spoke, he closed his eyes and snuggled up in Li Yancheng's arms, as if he was really seriously ill.
The old housekeeper was a little suspicious when he saw him like this, but he shuddered when he met Li Yancheng's cold gaze. "How come the young master is so sick all of a sudden? He really needs a good rest. Then I will go downstairs and tell the master, and call the family doctor by the way."
"Yeah." The boy didn't open his eyes or speak.
The old housekeeper took a look and had to go downstairs in shame.
Li Yancheng watched him go and closed the door.
The young man in his arms suddenly collapsed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Yancheng hugged him in time.
Li Haitang came out of Yan Xi's body, patted his chest in fear, looked at Li Yancheng and said, "This is my first time doing this, I'm a little nervous. What's wrong with Yan Xi?"
Li Yancheng looked at the person in his arms and shook his head slightly, his tone heavy, "I don't know either. He's been like this since we got off the plane. I can't sense where his soul is."
"Yan Xi is a lucky man, he will definitely be fine. He can reincarnate and still keep his memory. He must not be an ordinary person. Maybe he will be fine soon. We can wait a little longer," Li Haitang comforted.
Li Yancheng didn't say anything, but he held Yan Xi's body tighter. He was the only one who knew the torment in his heart.
Yan Xi, I won't let you leave me again. I have been waiting for you for more than a thousand years, and I definitely don't just want to have a brief chat with you.
System Space——
System 5555 was almost going crazy, pacing back and forth around the scroll. "Master Xiaosan, are you reliable? It's been so long, where's my host? You must not break your promise!"
System 333: "Don't worry... mmm..."
Before he could finish his words, a portal suddenly appeared in the center of the scroll and a person fell out with a bang.
Yan Xi was suddenly thrown out, lying on the ground with a weak body, and took a breath of cold air, "Damn it, can't you be a little gentle?!"
When System 5555 saw him emerge, it rushed over in ecstasy, "Host, you're finally out! Hey... wait, what are you doing like this? Why do you look like you've been drained by a goblin?"
Looking at Yan Xi's haggard and exhausted face, System 5555 could hardly believe its eyes.
Yan Xi turned over exhaustedly and lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all. He closed his eyes tiredly, "Don't mention it. I went through nine tests in there, and I almost died. It was more terrifying than being drained by a goblin."
"Nine, nine tests?" System 5555 was stunned.
"Yes, nine tests: family, love, friendship, the bond between mentor and apprentice, the bond between master and servant, the question of whether to save the enemy's life, the bond between the common people, who to give up between greater love and lesser love, the choice between being abandoned by friends and relatives and the common people."
System 5555's eyes widened. "Wow, so you passed all of them?"
Yan Xi opened her eyes and glanced at him, "What else do you think? If I fail, I will die in there. Will I come out? It is worth mentioning that I am not completely without gain. In the process of undergoing the test, I accidentally practiced Tu Ling's mental method to the fourth level."
