Upon hearing what the newcomer said, Yu Feng frowned and said, "Who is it? Sneaking around and eavesdropping... Are all mortals so impolite these days?"
The man in white robes darted to the group and said apologetically, "I apologize. I was just passing by when I heard the name Xie Yi and became curious, so I stopped. I did not mean to pry. If I have offended you, I will apologize on your behalf."
Yu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Wearing a mask, hiding your true colors..."
Long Xun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
"This..." The white-robed man did not expect Yu Feng to be so aggressive. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled in relief, took off his mask and said, "I have not yet introduced myself. I am Xie Yi, the puppeteer."
What?! Xie Yi, the Puppeteer?! You just showed up like that?!
Long Xun, Shao Gong, Yu Feng, and several priests from Longyou City immediately fixed their eyes on Xie Yi, who looked exactly like Xie Yi from Longyou City!
The only difference is that Xie Yi's eyes are more kind and tolerant, like an old man's, while Long Youcheng's Xie Yi's eyes are more energetic.
Xia Yize, Yue Wuyi, and Wenren Yu were all stunned by his youthful appearance and speechless.
"He actually looks exactly like Xie Yi!" Bingyan muttered to himself.
Xie Yi remained calm and smiled slightly, "In that case... it is quite a coincidence."
Yu Feng recovered from his shock, assessed the current situation, and then turned to bow to Long Xun, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I must return to Longyou City and inform Shen Ye and Xie Yi of this."
"Wait a minute," Xie Yi interrupted, "You mean Longyou City? Judging from your attire, you are clearly from Liuyue City. Why are you now from Longyou City...?"
"How do you know about Liuyue City?" Yu Feng's expression became even more suspicious. Suddenly, he grabbed Xie Yi's arm and said fiercely, "Xie Yi! Could it be that you followed me out here to play tricks on me?"
Xie Yi looked slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Yu Feng to make such a move.
"Yu Feng, wait a moment..." Shao Gong carefully examined Xie Yi. His expertise in medicine allowed him to perceive the difference in Xie Yi before him. He smiled and said, "Yu Feng, you should return to Longyou City. Once you see Xie Yi, everything will become clear."
Yu Feng glared at Xie Yi for a long time before finally letting go angrily. He smoothed his hair, bowed to Long Xun and Shao Gong, and said, "Let's go!"
Watching the people of Longyou City teleport away in a green light, Xie Yi fell silent, quietly pondering something.
After the people from Longyou City left, Xia Yize, Le Wuyi, and Wenren Yu all felt a little more relaxed.
Yue Wuyi scratched the back of his head, trying hard to remember something: "Um...you look familiar, haven't we met somewhere before?"
Xie Yi was interrupted from his thoughts. He turned around and looked at Yue Wuyi carefully, then shook his head slightly: "Oh? I do not recall ever seeing this young friend before."
"But...she looks so familiar...I must have seen her before...Damn it, I can't remember!"
Wenren Yu spoke up, "Senior Xie, what did the people in Longyou City mean just now? Could it be that there is another person in Longyou City who looks exactly like you?"
"I... am unaware of this matter either." Xie Yi shook his head slightly.
Long Xun said indifferently, "Yes."
“There’s no reason for two people to have the same name and appearance… Senior Long, you…” Xia Yize’s eyes met Long Xun’s, and he paused slightly. He lowered his eyes again without showing any emotion and continued, “Do you know the inside story?”
“The people of Longyou City worship the two gods, Zhulong and Shennong, so my godfather naturally knows this.” Shao Gong nodded.
Xie Yi maintained his gentle and kind elder's smile, revealing nothing of his thoughts. He simply said, "Gentlemen, this is not a suitable place for conversation. Why don't we meet at my residence?"
Without hesitation, Yue Wuyi, Xie Yi's die-hard fan, said, "Okay, Uncle Xie! Uncle Xie, I...I'm actually a puppeteer too..."
"Oh? This young friend is also a puppeteer?" Xie Yi was indeed intrigued.
Then the two puppeteers began to chat enthusiastically, completely absorbed in their conversation. Wenren Yu shook his head, utterly exasperated.
Xia Yize listened to their conversation in a half-hearted manner, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the quiet Long Xun.
This dragon had a very low profile, probably because it was too silent... Even though it was so beautiful and had a faint silver glow, it was still easy for people to ignore it.
The Candle Dragon, capable of supporting the heavens... an incomparably powerful dragon god...
I really want to see just how imposing his true form is.
As Xia Yize was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a gentle voice calling out in his ear, "Young Master Xia?"
Xia Yize snapped out of his reverie and realized that everyone's eyes were on him, except for Long Xun. Le Wuyi asked curiously, "Yize, what were you thinking about just now? You were so engrossed. Shao Gong called you so many times but you didn't hear him."
Xia Yize shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Just thinking about some things... things that I don't quite understand myself."
“Young Master Xia, if you have any concerns, feel free to speak them up. Perhaps we can offer some assistance,” Wenren Yu suggested.
“Wenren is right! Yize, don’t keep everything bottled up inside. It will make you sick if you keep it inside for too long.”
How could Xia Yize bring himself to speak? He simply shook his head and said, "It's alright."
Xie Yi said kindly from the side, "Young Master Xia, there are no truly difficult problems in this world. If you really feel lost, ask your own heart, and it will guide you to make a choice."
