“Since Benefactor Lu has already sought it, why do you not believe it? Why are you so fixated on Benefactor Gu having to go through everything he went through before?” Master Liaowu asked again.
"Master, you mean..." Lu Zheng's eyes widened in surprise. He touched his neck, and it was gone. It was gone. He wasn't dreaming. Every time he woke up and saw Master Wu before, the things were still there.
"Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, but he didn't know whether he was dreaming he was a butterfly, or the butterfly was dreaming he was Zhuang Zhou! Benefactor Lu, since you're here, make the best of it! All things in the world change in an instant. What you know is not the truth!" Master Liaowu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng lowered his head, pulled open his collar, and the thing on his neck that he considered his only hope was gone, although there were still faint marks. He then looked at his own hands, which had no calluses from years of martial arts training, and were the hands of a young boy.
It's a success! It's a success!
He spent eight years preparing after Xin'er's death, failing countless times, but this time he finally succeeded.
Does that mean that Xin'er's parents and sisters, as he wished, are no longer the same as before and can treat Xin'er well?
It was a success, not a dream!
No, if he succeeded, why was he still able to meet Master Wu?
“Master, now that you have succeeded, why can you…” Lu Zheng looked up, but Master Wu was nowhere to be seen in the room.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure there was no one else in the room besides him.
However, this room was not the one where he had lain down before, the room of Master Liaowu.
He looked down again and saw that the faint mark on his neck was gone.
He's truly a master!
Lu Zheng got out of bed, and the pain in his body made him realize that this was not a dream, but a real situation; he had been tricked and beaten up.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, you've finally woken up! Master Qin's senior brother said you're all better, and you really are! Yuanyuan, you scared your grandfather to death!" At this moment, Old Master Zhou ran in and saw Lu Zheng standing up on his own, putting on his shoes. He went up to him and gave him a big hug, his chubby old face covered in tears.
"I'm sorry, Grandfather, for making you worry! Where is Master Liaowu?" Lu Zheng patted the old man on the back and then asked.
"Master Liaowu? Who is that? Master Qin's senior brother? I don't know either. Master Qin came to inform me. Come on, sit down. Let your grandfather take a look at your injuries. Are you hungry? Your grandfather sent Jixiang to bring you some food. Come and sit down. You've just recovered from a serious illness..." Master Zhou made Lu Zheng sit down, then wanted him to lie down, and kept nagging for a long time.
At the same time, the pain of the Gu family's three time-traveling companions completely disappeared. If it weren't for the cold sweat covering their bodies, the pain would have been as if it had never happened.
The jade fish in Gu Xin's hand stopped shining and disappeared into her palm, condensing into a pale pink fish shape on her hand, like a birthmark.
The three time travelers couldn't sleep. Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian still had someone to talk to, but Gu Nian felt lonely. The pain she had just experienced was something she had never felt before; it felt like her head was about to be smashed open.
She wondered if the original owner of the body had some kind of problem, but she remembered that Gu Nian in the book was always healthy and lived a good life in the capital with some scheming. If she had a problem, how could she have so much time to cause trouble?
Without needing to think too much, Cai Xiaolian gently pushed open the door and entered slowly, carrying an oil lamp.
"Mom, what's wrong? What are you doing so late?" Gu Nian sat up.
“Your Excellency is right, it seems all three of us have something to do.” Cai Xiaolian said seriously, seeing that Gu Nian didn’t seem to have been woken up.
