Main Character:

Shen Yao

Thesis: How to correctly discern the relationship between one person and another?

Answer: Emotional fluctuations

It was worth thanking Shen Yao's current identity; she had always been sensitive to emotional changes, especially Fan Sheng's strong resistance toward that Clan Head.

"It's really strange. On the surface, he resists vehemently, but the black evil Qi above his head isn't fluctuating much. What is going on? Could it be that these two are acting together for others to see?"

Are there other people around? Besides our own Host.

The System suddenly realized and loudly cursed Fan Sheng for his deep scheming; even now he dared to play tricks. "Maybe we should just leave. Who would still be willing to save him like this?"

Shen Yao shrugged in her heart, indicating that they had already anticipated what would happen when they entered. Fan Sheng's situation was within their expectations, so there was actually no problem at the moment.

System:...

Fine. In a way, our Host is still quite inspiring.

When two sides confront each other, they must first exchange harsh words and clarify the cause and effect.

The Clan Head who came over had a clear purpose: to take Fan Sheng back to the Capital City for punishment. As for Fan Sheng's current image as a six-year-old child, neither the Clan Head nor the people accompanying him thought there was any problem. Being young didn't mean he was innocent. If he were truly wronged, why would the Lu Family couple send him to the Countryside for refuge?

"Steward, you can't talk nonsense. We just went home. Our son is only six years old now; there are some things he can't do."

Lu Yan lied with his eyes open. Anyway, no matter what, they had to keep this big show going.

"Can't do? Old Master Lu must be confused, right? Acting so ruthlessly in broad daylight, daring to do such things at such a young age—what will happen when he grows up?"

The Clan Head retorted sarcastically while pointing at Fan Sheng, who was hiding behind Lu Yan and Shen Yao, mocking him verbally. Those who didn't know would think these two had some mortal enemy.

Shen Yao then spoke up, still defending Fan Sheng, still choosing to infuriate the Clan Head opposite her. Because her traceless provocation made the Clan Head's emotions even more excited. Fan Sheng, who had originally been hiding behind her, could no longer bear it and rushed out directly to clash magic with the other side.

To be honest, an adult and a child comparing who can curse louder—this absurd farce would seem strange anywhere. But in the current environment, no one would question it.

"Host, I feel something is wrong," the System jumped out to continue being an eyesore. Mainly because it listened back and forth, as if everyone else were supporting characters, and the Main Characters were these two people who didn't know what their relationship was. Would it really let them develop freely without constraints? Then would everything Shen Yao and Lu Yan planned still be implemented smoothly?

"What is there to worry about? Isn't there still a Black Hand behind the scenes? It won't let these two decide victory just by arguing." The Black Hand's purpose was to make them perish together. And for this purpose, the Black Hand had tried who knows how many times. Just this kind of scene layout had been painstakingly arranged. Shen Yao and Lu Yan were waiting for them to start conflicting now, so they could capture the Black Hand's main body.

"Main body?"

What do you mean? Is the Black Hand an octopus that can use a doppelganger technique? Having a main body and a doppelganger?

"Fan Sheng was so strange before. Isn't that the performance of being controlled and possessed without knowing it?" Being able to do this and still not be discovered was obviously the work of the Black Hand behind the scenes.

System:...

Hiss

Always felt the brain wasn't enough. When would it be able to grow a new brain?

It was difficult for the System to grow a new brain, but for now it could still rely on the Host's analysis to re-observe the current situation.

For example, the conflict between Fan Sheng and the Clan Head gradually escalated from a war of words. Besides this, the people around them had abnormal changes; their facial expressions went from calm at first to angry, even like plots in dramas, changing formulaically at every node, without needing external force to push them.

She reached out and touched Lu Yan, signaling that the time for the two of them to appear was almost here. They couldn't let the Black Hand behind the scenes really succeed. Otherwise, they would have to continue staying in the Illusion Realm to act, not to mention Fan Sheng's consciousness wouldn't hold up. Although they didn't know what the Black Hand behind the scenes coveted about Fan Sheng, they were opposed to the Black Hand. As long as they didn't satisfy the Black Hand's ideas, it was success for them.

Lu Yan nodded slightly and let Shen Yao lean against him behind him. Also because of Shen Yao's movement, Fan Sheng was completely exposed in front of the Clan Head.

Speaking of which, it happened quickly.

Fan Sheng suddenly shouted loudly, then rushed out like a small cannonball.

This was like a signal for a sudden attack. The other people around also followed closely behind.

Shen Yao and Lu Yan looked at each other upon seeing this, like two sharp blades stabbing straight into the center.

The arts prepared earlier were released one after another. Shen Yao raised her hand and chopped horizontally, knocking the people in the melee unconscious.

Of course, Shen Yao and Lu Yan, the two of them, still couldn't handle so many people in the current melee. Eventually, some people would die because of this conflict.

The problem lay in the time when people died.

"Host, disappeared! Disappeared!" The System screamed, telling its Host to pay attention to these anomalies, especially those lying on the ground, as if they lost their lives in an instant.

"Isn't this an Illusion Realm? How can people die?" Shouldn't it be constantly sinking in a cycle, finally assimilated into a member of the Illusion Realm?

How could they suddenly lose life fluctuations, just like those Puppets in the Mansion.

Hiss

Could it be that those Puppets also came about this way?

The System was scared speechless by its own wild imagination. After all, its courage was still quite small, and sometimes it acted quite timid. If it weren't for the Host backing it up, it would probably have hidden far away and dared not watch.

"This might be the purpose of the Black Hand behind the scenes. These people have become Puppets without life." Their souls were sucked away by the Black Hand behind the scenes as nourishment.

Shen Yao looked thoughtfully at the Wedding Guests on the ground, while not forgetting to chop one unconscious with a hand knife as a good deed. Where she and Lu Yan were, the death rate was terrifyingly low. After all, most people had been chopped unconscious.

Fan Sheng and that Clan Head were fighting fiercely. Neither of the two held back.

It was hard to imagine a child could draw a Great Blade heavier than himself and exchange blows with an opponent. Shen Yao and Lu Yan were also closely observing these two. Until they seemed to be suddenly controlled, started heading toward where there were more people, and also used the aftermath of the fight to take the opportunity to kill and harvest.

Lu Yan and Shen Yao naturally couldn't let too many people die. The two quickly moved toward Fan Sheng's side. Shen Yao even used arts to take the opportunity to interfere with Fan Sheng's actions, avoiding more people dying under his blade.

The System watched its Host act, including not limited to verbal sparring and physical fighting, and also took the opportunity to drag Fan Sheng out of the Battlefield and throw him out. "Hurry up and leave!"

Fan Sheng:...

This, leave what? Clearly the advantage was on their side!

"Leave here first," Lu Yan interjected, making eyes at Fan Sheng.

Fan Sheng finally put away the Great Blade and turned to run toward the River behind the farm.

As agreed beforehand, the River led to the Outside World, and the River was wide and long and very deep. Lu Yan and Shen Yao would hold off the people coming, letting Fan Sheng jump out of the encirclement first.

"But if he does this, will Fan Sheng believe it?" The System tilted its head, indicating the Black Hand behind the scenes was more willing for Fan Sheng to die.

"Whether he believes it or not, he has to cooperate with our actions. Unless he can't bear it and takes our lives first." But this kind of thing Fan Sheng definitely couldn't do openly and aboveboard. More than anything, he still had to act secretly and carefully.

Shen Yao and Lu Yan didn't truly trust Fan Sheng; they were both on guard against him.

First they joined forces to drive back this Clan Head, then summoned the Steward and Servants of the mansion to send the farmers lying unconscious on the ground back, after which Lu Yan and Shen Yao hurried to the riverside to actively meet up with Fan Sheng.

"Fan Sheng hasn't left?"

"The Mo Hou Hei Shou won't let him leave," the original plan's success was based on the premise that all three of them had no problems, but Fan Sheng obviously had issues, and the Mo Hou Hei Shou controlling Fan Sheng wouldn't truly let him leave the farm, so Fan Sheng was still at the riverside at this time.

Sure enough, when the two arrived at the riverside, the Clan Head who had clearly been driven away by them earlier was fighting Fan Sheng, with Fan Sheng being suppressed and beaten by the other side, either vomiting blood or injured, the small person looked simply pitiful.

Tsk tsk tsk

Fighting so hard!

Fan Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Yao and Lu Yan appear, decisively giving up opposing the Clan Head to choose to meet up, and this move of his also angered the Clan Head, who struck even more ruthlessly, it could be said every blade was aimed at chopping Fan Sheng.

"Lu Sir, Miss Shen, save me!"

Fan Sheng was slashed in the back by the Clan Head's blade, and along with himself was thrown out violently, like a torn linen sack.

Shen Yao and Lu Yan revealed a trace of solemnity in their eyes; first Lu Yan stepped forward and fought the Clan Head into a tangle, then Shen Yao came to Fan Sheng's side, helped him up, and cared about Fan Sheng's physical condition and why he hadn't left.

"I, I just wanted to board a ship to leave, but unexpectedly this person killed out from the Corner, not only chopping the ship over, but along with me I also didn't escape the disaster."

Fan Sheng could now be said to be pitiful, not a single good spot on his whole body; if it weren't for Shen Yao knowing Fan Sheng's background, she might have been deceived right now.

"This is Healing Medicine, the farm is very safe now, you go back first, leave this place to Lu Yan and me to handle," Shen Yao took out a Porcelain Bottle and stuffed it into Fan Sheng's hand, then stood up and walked toward the two fighting in a tangle, not expecting that before she had reached the place, she heard Fan Sheng behind her suddenly shout that he didn't want to leave, he also wanted to stay behind to help contribute his modest strength.

Shen Yao:...

She thought the Mo Hou Hei Shou would endure a bit longer, after all the farmers in the farm were all sleeping, if Fan Sheng went back, he could help the Mo Hou Hei Shou harvest a wave of life nourishment, it seemed they still felt Fan Sheng dying first was more important.

Shen Yao had no reason to object to Fan Sheng; when Fan Sheng stood up propping up his Great Blade, what greeted her was Fan Sheng's sharp blade as fast as Lightning.

When the blade touched Shen Yao's body, the expression on Fan Sheng's face became hideous and terrifying.

Pity, just a little bit short.

"Aiya, your strength isn't enough, you still can't break my defense."

Shen Yao slowly raised her hand to block the blade, taking the Great Blade from Fan Sheng's hand while giving Fan Sheng a strike.

Instantly, Fan Sheng suffered injuries more serious than before.

He couldn't believe it, why could he dodge? Just now he clearly used all his Trump Cards, even if it were a Demon, they might not necessarily avoid it.

"Very surprised?" Shen Yao turned to look at Lu Yan who had already gained the upper hand and was suppressing the Clan Head, smiling as she touched her own hair, "Because I am a Companion Creature," not saying she had no Entity, but that she could control herself as she wished, besides what Fan Sheng thought was fast was actually terribly slow in Shen Yao's eyes.

"If you can't understand, don't think randomly; after the person opposite is caught, we can continue talking."

Shen Yao didn't want to waste words with Fan Sheng, after all this wasn't the Mo Hou Hei Shou's Original Form, saying more was useless effort.

Pa

With a sound of a noon explosion landing, Lu Yan carried the Clan Head's soft and limp body back to Shen Yao's side.

Fan Sheng and the Clan Head met again, only this time they had both become prisoners, their behavior instantly reversed, and they also had to face questioning from Shen Yao and Lu Yan.

"Hmph! You can't get out of here, you don't need to waste your thoughts here."

After the Clan Head finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes showing an appearance of do whatever you want to kill or cut, which made Fan Sheng also follow along and act helpless.

Shen Yao and Lu Yan looked at each other, this kind of Scene they really hadn't encountered few times; encountering those who didn't like to Cooperate, wasn't it easy to make them speak again?

Shen Yao slowly squatted down, expressionlessly sizing up the two who liked to act helpless, finally she stretched out her hand to make a Hand Seal, and after a short while the two had no choice but to speak again.

"I think you should still Cooperate, otherwise," Shen Yao half-narrowed her eyes, "I will directly take action to Soul Search, anyway memories stored in the Brain won't be lost."

And they didn't have Forbidden Restrictions like Lu Yan, wanting to violently pry open was indeed easy.

"What do you want to know? What can we know? Don't waste your strength."

The Clan Head still had the appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water scalding it right now, but Fan Sheng was somewhat panicked; he didn't understand Shen Yao but understood Lu Yan, the memories of Lian Tang City let him know Lu Yan didn't dare to be provoked.

Nowadays their skills were inferior to others, not only did they not remove the hidden danger but instead dragged themselves down to become prisoners, what Fan Sheng thought of most in his Brain was still saving his life.

"I, I don't know anything? But I, my Brain will always have a voice appear, before choosing to attack you was also because this voice reminded me that you would obstruct my hope of longevity."

Having longevity means having infinite possibilities; Fan Sheng pursued longevity and strength, just wanting to rely on himself to create glory belonging to him.

Also because of this idea, Fan Sheng took the Token and letter Lu Yan handed over and left Lian Tang City, finally deeply trapped in the Secret Realm prison.

Shen Yao sighed, continuing to raise her hand to make Hand Seals; as her hand movements became faster and faster, Fan Sheng and the Clan Head began rolling on the ground.

Just like a balloon living under high pressure, when the air pressure reaches a certain degree, it will bang and directly explode.

Fan Sheng and the Clan Head were the same; as they exploded, their bodies were like the entire Illusion Realm was glass full of cracks, shattering into pieces.
