Seeing that Yu Qirong agreed, the atmosphere around Tang Xingfei was no longer so cold. He turned and walked towards the inside of the ancestral hall.
Yu Qirong called out to Xie Yi to follow him.
With every step forward, my breathing became heavier, and my legs became heavier, as if there were stones tied to them, and each step was extremely difficult.
The density of the black fog in the ancestral hall is visible to the naked eye, and it seems to enter the body with every breath.
For Yu Qirong, this level of black fog could not completely block out the side effects even with the hook jade and button.
I paused, the scenery in front of me suddenly shook, and I felt nauseous as the scenery changed so quickly.
It seemed to be in a school corridor. The get out of class had just ended and there were sounds of students laughing and playing.
"Tang Xingfei, I like you very much. Would you like to come with me?" I heard my own voice in my ears.
But he clearly didn't say that.
"I..." Tang Xingfei's voice was low, but the rest of his words were not very clear. The surrounding scenery seemed to have suddenly pressed the mute button. The people and scenery were infinitely stretched, turned into long linear strips, and then turned into light spots, gradually disappearing.
Is this an illusion, or...
Yu Qirong was unsure and wanted to wake up, but it seemed as if he was tightly entangled by something.
"Yu Qirong!" Xie Yi was originally following him, but when he glanced inadvertently, he found that the person walking next to him suddenly stopped.
His face was pale, with a hint of cold sweat dripping down his face. His lips looked more like the color of a withered rose, and he was in a state of detachment.
As expected, we can’t let our guard down against Tang Xingfei!
Especially since Yu Qirong’s identity is so sensitive.
The previous behavior was probably intended to confuse them.
Yu Qirong's body swayed, as if he was about to fall down.
Xie Yi cursed inwardly and quickened his pace, not caring about the copy time core. He just wanted to take Yu Qirong away from this place as soon as possible, even though Tang Xingfei didn't seem to have any intention of silencing him now.
But his shout was heard by Tang Xingfei, who even reached Yu Qirong before him, put his arms around Yu Qirong's waist, and picked her up like a princess.
Noticing Xie Yi's hostile gaze, he simply glanced sideways.
He didn't explain anything and continued walking forward holding Yu Qirong.
"...Let him go." Xie Yi took a few big steps forward, anger in his voice.
Tang Xingfei seemed not to hear it.
Xie Yi quickly walked in front of them, glanced at them, and was about to say something when he was stopped. He stared at Tang Xingfei with a strange look.
At this time, the two people's situations seemed to be reversed. Yu Qirong looked good, and her beautiful face looked like a sleeping angel. On the contrary, Tang Xingfei's cold face was pale, which was even more obvious against the pure black suit.
His back was straight, but one could faintly see a slight tremor - it seemed as if he was enduring pain.
"What are you doing?" The person in Tang Xingfei's arms suddenly spoke. He looked down and saw a pair of wine-red pupils staring at him.
Tang Xingfei opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Yu Qirong patted his shoulder and said, "Put me down."
The arm that was restraining his body loosened, and Yu Qirong turned over lightly, looked ahead, and asked, "Is this the time core of the dungeon?"
In front of him was a huge bookshelf, made of ebony, with a black background that had a historical background, filled with all kinds of books. Yu Qirong didn't look closely, but standing in front of it, he did have the illusion of being overwhelmed by the weight of history.
In such a huge bookshelf, only the middle position was empty, and a small and exquisite sandalwood box was placed on it. The box was surrounded by black mist, but it could not block the light on the surface of the box.
Tang Xingfei hummed softly, then turned around, as if he had never seen these two people coming.
Yu Qirong understood and walked closer to the box and looked at it curiously.
It's strange to say, when it was far away before, the black fog would attack him, but now that it is so close, the black fog instead seems to want to escape, but it can't break free from the box, so it can only try to stay away from Yu Qirong.
"Sure enough, the flow of time in low-level copies is controlled by a time core." Xie Yi's tone was a little excited. He walked quickly towards the box. Just as he was about to raise his hand to touch it, Yu Qirong patted the back of his hand lightly, stopping his rash behavior.
Xie Yi couldn't see the black fog, but Yu Qirong could. With such a high concentration, it was unknown what side effects it would have on humans.
He glanced at Tang Xingfei, who was standing aside with his back straight, without leaving a trace. Judging from the tone of gratitude in his voice, he knew that the Chenxing Guild knew about this matter, probably because they heard it from somewhere.
But I don’t know who spread this news.
Xie Yi, however, thought that Yu Qirong was trying to protect the original copy, and he had just gotten carried away and completely forgot the agreement between the two of them.
You can only look, not touch.
But I couldn't tell anything from it. It was nothing but a small wooden box. Even the small wooden box was just a little brighter than usual, nothing else was different.
Xie Yi swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth and asked, "Can you open it?"
Yu Qirong clenched the hook jade in his hand, a little hesitant. Before he didn't have the hook jade, he always vomited blood; but now even with the hook jade, his body might not be able to withstand this concentration of black fog.
But he also wanted to see it.
Forget it, at worst I can just vomit some more.
The small box seemed to have sensed Yu Qirong's intention, and the black mist covering it actually began to tremble slightly. In a short moment, the black mist spontaneously opened the lid of the box.
Yu Qirong could see it and was not surprised, but Xie Yi saw something different.
This box will open by itself, so it is indeed different from ordinary boxes.
Inside the box was a mellow pearl, but it was huge, about the size of a person's fist. Even shrouded in black fog, it still emitted a soft, non-dazzling white light.
Yu Qirong looked at it carefully again and again, but found that the bottom of the box was empty and the beads were directly connected to the bookshelf.
Xie Yi also saw it. He didn't expect that the time core was actually connected to such a large bookshelf. Even if he wanted to steal it, it would be wishful thinking - who could take such a large bookshelf away with it?
…Xie Yi’s gaze unconsciously fell on Yu Qirong.
Yu Qirong: ...
"Don't look at me, I can't move it either." Yu Qirong noticed Xie Yi's gaze and immediately understood his intention.
Seeing that his thoughts were so easily exposed, Xie Yi touched his nose embarrassedly. In the blink of an eye, he saw Yu Qirong giving up the bead and looking at the books on the bookshelf.
Only then did he carefully look at the contents on the spine of the book. Unlike ordinary books, the spine did not have the title and author written on it. Instead, it only had a string of strange numbers, and each book was different.
It was just the familiar format that made him think of something instantly.
This format of expression is very similar to the time record in his original world.
"This is..." Xie Yi frowned, having a vague guess in his mind.
"Next to the time core, all the things that happened at this time are placed. No wonder there is a timeline." Yu Qirong walked to a place thoughtfully and couldn't help but uttered "eh" to express his doubt.
The spines of all the previous time books had a red background with white and gold text, so how come it turned dark gold from one place?
The difference isn't too noticeable, but it's noticeable.
"How did you get here?"
Just when Yu Qirong was about to study it carefully, he heard Butler Leng's shout. He looked over and saw Butler Leng's angry face.
When he looked back again, the large bookshelf in front of him had disappeared, and even Tang Xingfei who was standing there had completely disappeared.
Now placed in front of him were the layers of tablets from the Leng family.
Xie Yi broke out in a cold sweat and his lips turned pale. Anyone who suddenly had such close contact with another family's ancestors would suffer some psychological trauma.
When Butler Leng saw Xie Yi standing aside, he became even angrier. It was difficult for him to maintain his disguise. His originally very friendly face became very scary. "Master Xie, can you explain why you brought Young Master Rong to my Leng family's ancestral hall?"
Xie Yi was shocked, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of any words to respond.
On the contrary, Yu Qirong looked calm, not frightened at all by Butler Leng's attitude: "Butler Leng agreed that I can walk around the Leng family. I want to see my future husband. Is there any problem?"
His words "future husband" greatly pleased Steward Leng, and his expression eased a little, but he still said solemnly: "In Yeyun Town, it is customary for newlyweds not to meet each other before getting married, as it is said to be detrimental to the marriage... Young Master Rong should go somewhere else - your servant has been brought back and is waiting for you in the room."
"Oh," Yu Qirong nodded and lied without thinking, "Anyway, I didn't really see him, so it shouldn't be considered breaking the Leng family's rules. I'll just leave."
After saying that, he glanced at her with gratitude, and walked out calmly and calmly in front of Butler Leng.
"I didn't expect the time core to be in the Leng family ancestral hall." Xie Yi murmured, "Luckily, we were the only ones who discovered it. Song Ruyi still doesn't know anything about it."
"Where are Song Ruyi and Leng Yunchao?" Yu Qirong frowned and showed the red rope on his wrist.
Now this red rope has become the most common one. It doesn’t matter whether he wears it or not.
"The Leng family probably felt that it was not good to have too many people involved in this ghost marriage, especially Leng Yunxing, whose female body was more vulnerable, so they found an excuse to arrange for him to stay in the restaurant." Xie Yi replied, and couldn't help but lower his voice to add: "Song Ruyi originally had a good plan, but now he is locked out of the key location. I heard that he has been trying to sneak in every day these days, but he was blocked every time."
“Hongmeng is also very concerned about the time core, but up to now, its attitude is still too ambiguous and we are unable to cooperate,” Xie Yi added.
Yu Qirong was not very interested in these twists and turns, but she didn't want any unnecessary complications on the last day.
After they walked for a while, they returned to the room arranged by the Leng family.
Yu Qirong was standing at the door. A Fei was standing inside the room with his back to him, looking up at the decoration of the bridal chamber. When he heard Yu Qirong's footsteps, he turned around and looked over. The emotion in his dark eyes was indescribable.
