"System, should I follow the original owner's best strategy?" Li Yuebai asked.

Mu Qingning once gave a good plan, which was to go to war with Yu Tianliu, but it was not implemented because it violated his code of conduct.

"You can consider it." The system replied cautiously: "Host, I am not a human, and I don't know much about human struggles, so I can't give you the best advice. However, since the original owner said this is the best strategy, it must be correct."

"Although I am not as sad as the original owner, I am not a war lover. I don't want to start a war again unless it is absolutely necessary." Li Yuebai said: "And... I just thought that my current situation is different from that of the original owner."

"What's the difference?"

"I have more time." Li Yuebai said: "According to the original plot, twenty days after defeating the Demon Cult, Yu Tianliu's soldiers approached the city, and the original owner had to respond hastily. The best strategy at that time was of course to start a war."

"Yes."

"And now...what time is it now?" Li Yuebai felt dizzy for a moment and could only ask the system.

"You have been unconscious for a whole day. Now it is one day after defeating the Demon Cult." The system replied.

"That is to say, I have 19 days to come up with a new response strategy." Li Yuebai said, "And I know all the future plots in advance... This situation is already a big advantage. If I can't come up with a better strategy, it would be too unfair to the original owner."

"But host, nineteen days is not a long period of time. It's still very tense." The system reminded.

"Yes..." Li Yuebai secretly sighed: "If I can't find a better response strategy, then when Yu Tianliu arrives, I will naturally persuade the Immortal Lord to send troops to fight."

"The host seems to have great confidence in Yu Tianji."

"Of course, he is very powerful and should not be underestimated." When Li Yuebai thought of Yu Tianji, he felt half relieved and half confused. He was relieved because this person was obviously different from the original plot. He seemed unrestrained on the surface, but he was reliable in everything he did. What confused him was... who is he?

When I thought of this, I realized that there was no one around me.

He had been in a dozing state and discussing the system, so his body was naturally lying on the couch. But now, he could feel that Yu Tianji, who was originally on the couch with him, had quietly left.

In the hall outside, voices were heard.

Yu Tianji went out to meet someone.

Li Yuebai opened his eyes and saw only an empty couch.

I still broke one of the bedposts myself, and the bed curtain hung down, covering the entire couch tightly, so I couldn't see what was happening outside.

Li Yuebai sat up, opened the curtain and looked out.

This is the inner room of the Auspicious Hall, where the Immortal Lord rests. It is separated from the main hall outside by a corridor. Sounds can be faintly transmitted here. This body has always had sharp hearing and can hear it clearly.

It was Su Xu, the master of Su Pavilion.

"Thank you for your compliment, Immortal Lord. I will do my best for you and will not back down even if it means risking my life..." Su Xu's voice was serious, but there was a hint of joy in his words.

It sounds like this person was rewarded by the Immortal Lord.

"Master Su, why do you have to say that?" Yu Tianji said with a smile, "You have worked hard and made great contributions, and you deserve these rewards. I have just ascended to the position of Immortal Lord, and I am young and ignorant, so I don't have any long-term plans. The only one I can rely on in the future is Master Su."

"I really don't deserve this." Su Xu hastily declined: "If we talk about hard work and great achievements, then you, the Master of Ceremonies, are the role model for our generation."

"..." When Yu Tianji heard the words of Lord Jijiu, his expression changed slightly.

Su Xu noticed it keenly.

"Master Jijiu is loyal to the Immortal Lord and has worked hard for this mission. As the one who invited him out of seclusion, I should have gone to visit him with the other immortals..." Su Xu chatted casually.

"Master Su, you don't know." Yu Tianji sighed, "Master Mu was originally weak, and this time his spirit was severely damaged. His life is hanging by a thread. I have already invited a famous doctor to treat him, but I am afraid that his condition is more serious than good."

More danger than good? Li Yuebai adjusted his breathing and practiced Qigong, and found that he had recovered well and was safe. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yu Tianji had said before that he would recover soon, but in a short while, he died immediately. Where did this come from?

"More dangerous than safe?" Su Xu was startled, and the teacup in his hand shook and almost fell.

He looked around the Auspicious Palace and indeed, he felt only a chilling chill and a sad atmosphere.

Yu Tianji sighed, "Originally, you two were the only ones around me who had the talent to help me achieve my goals, but God wanted to cut off one of my arms, so I said that the only one I can rely on in the future is Master Su."

"Su is grateful for the recognition of the Immortal Lord, but I am also overwhelmed with grief. If the Lord Jijiu is really not well... it will not only be a great loss for Kunlun, but also a great pain for Su." Su Xu couldn't help but look sad: "However, even the diagnosis of a famous doctor can be wrong sometimes. Can this famous doctor really be trusted? I do have a few immortal masters with outstanding medical skills in Miaoyan Pavilion. It's okay..."

Li Yuebai listened secretly and thought to himself that it was true.

In Su Xu's Miaoyan Pavilion, there are several immortals who are quite knowledgeable in medicine, and they are all Su Xu's confidants. It is precisely because of their medical skills that Su Xu was able to successfully fake his death and escape in the original plot.

Su Xu was a man of deep thoughts. After hearing what Yu Tianji said, countless thoughts had already crossed his mind. Was Mu Qingning really overworked, exhausted, and on the verge of death? Or was he just faking his death? Or was he completely fine, and the Immortal Lord was just testing him?

In order to get more information about the situation and to show his loyalty to the Immortal Lord, Su Xu immediately volunteered, saying that he had a famous doctor under his command who could lend a hand.

"That would be the best." Yu Tianji said, "Then please ask Pavilion Master Su to invite a few immortals to come and diagnose my pulse!"

"Yes." Su Xu responded hastily and sent his disciples to quickly fly back to Miaoyan Pavilion with swords.

Li Yuebai didn't know what kind of medicine Yu Tianji was selling. When the immortals came, wouldn't Yu Tianji's lies be exposed? What on earth was this kid doing?

Just when I didn't know what to do, the system spoke.

"Host, Yu Tianji requests a call." said the system.

"Ah?" Li Yuebai was startled: "System, what did you say?"

"Yu Tianji sent a message to you through the system." The system repeated.

…

"He is really a time traveler?!"

"Yes," the system replied.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? System you..." Li Yuebai was helpless.

"It is best for time travelers to recognize each other on their own initiative, and the system should not interfere." The system replied: "This is my principle as a system."

"Master Mu." Yu Tianji's smiling voice came through the system.

Li Yuebai could even imagine him smiling.

"What are you doing?" Li Yuebai was angry.

"I didn't do anything, just playing around." Yu Tianji said innocently, "My beauty, since I've taken care of you for a day and a night, you must help me later."

"How can I help?" Li Yuebai sighed.

"When the immortal masters come to examine you, would you please act as if your life is hanging by a thread?"

"..." Li Yuebai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You wanted to deceive Su Xu?"

"Yes."

"Let him mistakenly think that I am dying, and then think that he can call the shots in Kunlun Mountain, second only to the emperor and above all others." Li Yuebai thought for a moment: "For a person like him who has a strong desire for power, this is a great temptation."

The judgment was correct. However, the flying speed of the sword was always very fast. Just as Li Yuebai finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of several people entering the Auspicious Hall.

After several immortals paid their respects to the Immortal Lord, they walked through the corridor and headed towards the bedroom.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Li Yuebai frowned and raised his wrist to take a look - could the pulse be faked?

"Miss Mu, why are you so nervous? The system can do it, right, system?" Yu Tianji continued with a playful smile.

"Yes, host, the system can temporarily fake a set of false physical reactions, such as pulse, body temperature, etc., to deceive the doctor." The system replied.

Li Yuebai didn't want to pay any attention to these two funny guys, so he just lay back, closed his eyes and ignored everything.

A dialogue box popped up in front of me: Host, do you need to temporarily activate the illusion of near-death?

Li Yuebai chose yes.

He could feel his body getting colder, his heartbeat getting slower, his Qi getting weaker, his pulse becoming disordered... He was probably also turned into a half-dead pale by the system; he could feel it himself; he looked completely dead.

Soon after, the bed curtain was opened, and several people came to the bed. Someone pulled his wrist and took his pulse carefully.

Li Yuebai appeared motionless on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

This time it really is cheating in the traditional sense.

The system has never been so easy to use in the previous two times I traveled through time.

As expected, after a round of observation, several immortals gasped and apologized to the Immortal Lord repeatedly.

"My Lord, I didn't expect that Master Jijiu would be so seriously ill... I am powerless to save him..."

"Yes, the Lord Jijiu has always been kind to others, but this time he is really..."

After sighing for a while and discussing again, Su Xu left with several immortals.

After the footsteps disappeared, a long time passed before the system spoke: "Host, do you want to stop pretending to be dying?"

"Are there any outsiders here?"

"No, Su Xu and the others have already left, and there is no one serving in this inner room, so it will not be exposed." The system replied.

"Okay, get back to normal."

Li Yuebai opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

As expected, Yu Tianji shamelessly came up to him again, looking at him left and right, touching and poking him, and saying, "Lady Mu, the way you looked just now really made me feel so distressed. It was so scary..."

"..." Li Yuebai was too lazy to argue with him and asked directly: "When did you know that I..."

"Of course it was when you smashed the bedpost." Yu Tianji said nonchalantly, "Before that, Master Mu was very strict and had no faults."

Li Yuebai thought back to when he finished watching the original plot and woke up, he was extremely angry. It was difficult to hide, and he didn't want to hide it, so he revealed it a little unconsciously.

"At first I thought it was a nightmare, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was wrong. You looked so sad, as if you knew everything." Yu Tianji said, "So I asked the system."

When he said the word "system", he was muted by the system.

Sure enough, this world does not allow words that are out of the scope of the world to be spoken.

Li Yuebai had no choice but to switch to the system dialogue mode and send an inner dialogue without moving his mouth: "Who are you?"

“Same as you, a time traveler.” Yu Tianji shrugged.

"Are you Ye Qing?" Li Yuebai felt his heart pounding and was so nervous that he almost trembled.

"Ye Qing? I don't know."

"jokervila." Li Yuebai threw out the signal again without giving up.

"What do you mean?" Yu Tianji didn't understand at all.

"..." Li Yuebai was overwhelmed with disappointment again: "They are two English words. I wrote them on a talisman and showed them to you. Didn't you recognize them then?"

"Are you talking about this talisman?" Yu Tianji took out the talisman with "jokervila" written on it by Li Yuebai from his sleeve, brought it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then frowned and said, "It's a mess, I don't recognize it."

Li Yuebai sighed.
