Wei Yuan noticed that when he mentioned the name "Bo Qi", the doctor in front of him, who appeared elegant and calm, had a slight contraction of his pupils, resembling vertical pupils, and emitted a mixed breath of fear and wildness.
Similar to encountering a dangerous beast.
Wei Yuan's actions and demeanor appeared even calmer and more natural. Bo Qi did not immediately make a move when startled, and the possibility of him making a move later would be minimized. Bo Qi's heart was filled with hidden fear.
The first sentence the other party just said, "It took some effort to make an appointment with her."
The hidden meaning was that he came specifically to find Wei Yuan.
He had already been targeted by him, and his identity had been completely exposed.
As a great demon who habitually lurked in dreams, this feeling made Wang Qi extremely uneasy. She didn't know if it was the influence of psychological factors, but she felt that the smiling young man sitting there seemed to have a deep and dark aura, seeing through everything about her. She immediately forced herself to stabilize her mind.
Based on the strength the other party displayed in the dream, he revealed Wei Yuan's identity on his own initiative, obviously not intending to capture him here.
Bo Qi fell silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"
Wei Yuan replied, "I like the Shen Zhou of this era, and I also like the peaceful and stable life in this city."
He paused for a moment, glanced outside, and from this height, he could see the bustling city and the people coming and going. After watching for a while, Wei Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Bo Qi, who appeared kind and quiet, and said slowly:
"So I hope you will abide by the rules of this era and not disturb this peace."
"I don't want to make a move."
"After all, there are not many great demons who have survived from the Qin and Han dynasties to this era. It would be a pity to die in this era after escaping from Tiger and Zhang Daoling, don't you think?"
He smiled and looked at Bo Qi.
Huh?!
Bo Qi's pupils slightly contracted.
He was speechless for a moment.
Wei Yuan stood up, took a candy from the box on Bo Qi's table, and said in a relaxed tone, "This should be the custom, right? After the patient finishes treatment, they get a candy."
"Your treatment is very effective, doctor."
He nodded politely and then turned around, pushed open the door, and left with a smile on his face. Wang Qi sat on the chair, motionless for a long time, her clothes soaked with cold sweat. It was only after a long time that she slowly lowered her head.
The other party not only saw through her identity, but also knew about the conflicts between her and Tiger and Zhang Daoling?!
She recalled the ancient and illusory environment in her dream, as well as the various real mountain and sea monsters. Wang Qi couldn't help but wonder if this person had been living from an even older era to the present, experiencing countless years and witnessing all the major events in the world.
She seemed to see the turbulent waves of the mortal world, seeing heroes fighting each other, and behind the struggles between various demons and earth spirits, there were a pair of eyes calmly observing these eras, observing the appearance and disappearance of heroes, and the rise and fall of great demons. It made her feel a tingling sensation in her heart.
It took a long time for her to come back to her senses. She looked around at the surroundings. Although she felt a bit regretful and melancholic, she quickly made a decision.
She immediately left and couldn't contact Shan Jun recently to avoid bringing trouble.
................
Wei Yuan walked out of the hospital gate with a natural expression. He first calmly looked at the scenery in the neighboring garden, like an ordinary person who enjoyed daily life. Then, he slowly stood up, hailed a taxi, got in, and saw the hospital gradually receding in the rearview mirror before he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
His chest rose and fell rapidly, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
His scalp was tingling.
Wei Yuan pressed his hand against his chest, controlling his intense heartbeat.
Speaking confidently in front of a Qin and Han great demon, without saying too much or being too silent to lower his status, was a huge test of his mental resilience.
Wei Yuan then thought of something else. Bo Qi was Shan Jun's maid. Does Bo Qi's appearance in Ying Tian Mansion mean that Shan Jun is also nearby at the Taoist temple?
Wei Yuan slowly suppressed his surging emotions, controlling himself to think rationally. After getting off the car, he rented an hourly room, used talismans to isolate external influences, especially the influence of ghosts and spells.
Then he called Zhang Hao.
He informed the special operations team about Bo Qi's identity and location, as well as the possibility of Shan Jun's presence in Ying Tian Mansion. When facing a city-level population like Ying Tian Mansion, the special operations team was much more professional and efficient than Wei Yuan himself.
After doing all this, Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, meditated and regulated his breath in the hourly room, and restored his aura. Then he bought a high-speed train ticket and returned to Quan City.
................
By the time he returned to the museum, it was already dark. Su Yu'er and the three fox girls were currently living in the university, while Hu Ming had gone back to Qing Qiu for something. The old bookstore next to the museum was pitch black, and what surprised Wei Yuan was that the flower shop across the street was also closed.
Inquiring about the black cat and several ghosts yielded no information.When Wei Yuan pulled out his phone, he noticed a new message from Tian Nujue.
"Yuan, I need to retreat for a few days of cultivation."
"\(?o?)/!"
Wei Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at the emoticon.
He realized he might have started a bad trend with her.
Tian Nujue had been sealed for nearly two thousand years, and she had just used a large-scale, powerful spell upon her revival. Her cultivation had been significantly affected and needed time to recover. Wei Yuan was aware of this, so he quickly replied, expressing his understanding and wishing her a speedy recovery.
After a moment of thought, he added another message.
"(?_?")/\(?_?")"
The black cat jumped down and landed on Wei Yuan's shoulder, asking, "Didn't you go to see the doctor today? How did it go?"
Wei Yuan replied, "It was okay. The doctor didn't have good news, but I met someone unexpected."
"Who?"
"Wu Zhiqi."
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".
The black cat was startled, then looked Wei Yuan up and down, a curious and strange look in its eyes. "You met Wu Zhiqi alone and lived to tell the tale? I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
"I wouldn't call it luck."
Wei Yuan gave a self-deprecating smile, not elaborating further. When he mentioned Wu Zhiqi, he had a vague feeling that he had forgotten something. But when he tried to think about it, he couldn't grasp anything, so he let it go for now. After completing his evening cultivation and replenishing his used talismans, Wei Yuan went to bed early.
………………
In his dream, Wei Yuan opened his eyes.
This was his dream, real yet illusory, ancient yet with silhouettes of modern cities, and running waves and thunder. Wei Yuan slowly lifted his head.
He stared at the water god in front of him, with a white face and green body, entwined with the Huai River. He finally remembered what he had forgotten. After meeting Wu Zhiqi in his dream, he had controlled himself to always sleep dreamlessly. But today, he had accepted the hypnosis of the great demon Wu Zhiqi in his dream.
In other words, it seemed like he had a dream today...
He looked up at Wu Zhiqi's cold and joyful golden eyes.
"Damn!"
