That night, Yin Chengyue did not sleep well. Ever since she'd developed her Discipline, her nerves had become exceptionally sensitive. Even when she was asleep, she could sense any movement in the wind or grass outside.

And that day, they slept in the wilderness. In front of them was a mountain, and nearby was a forest. The wind blew through the trees, creating rustling sounds, causing her to be unable to enter a deep sleep.

So when the sun rose the next day, she woke up.

When she opened her eyes, the young noble was still awake, she lightly rolled over and rolled out of his embrace. Just as she was about to roll over and sit up, she heard a low voice sound out from beside her, "Did you not sleep well?"

Yin Yanyue's movements froze, she turned her head and met the eyes of the young noble, "Not bad, just that there was a bit of a commotion outside."

She straightened up and opened her sleeping bag. "Did I wake you?"

"No, I should have been awake by now." He opened the tent and took a look at the scenery outside.

Last night in the early hours of the morning, it was too dark to see the environment clearly, but now it was surprisingly beautiful.

"All of you are awake."

White Gold Maple was currently seated in front of his own tent, a fire burning in front of him.

Yin Yanyue was slightly surprised, he didn't expect him to wake up so early. They had only slept early in the morning last night, and Bai Yu Feng had been driving all day yesterday, so wasn't he tired?

"Come and eat something."

White Gold Maple's expression didn't look too good. Letting out a breath of relief, he stood up and walked to the trunk, taking out some food from the carriage.

"Didn't Li Yi let you sleep last night?"

Yin Yanyue glanced at the direction of Li Yi's tent with a puzzled expression. "You don't look like you slept well all night."

"Oh?" White Gold Maple pursed his lips, as the light in his eyes deepened. "He's used to sleeping in beds all by himself."

A foot suddenly pressed down on his forehead in the middle of the night. Would he be able to sleep well in such a situation?

Fortunately, he was only sleeping for the day, or else he might have died suddenly from exhaustion.

After Yin Yanyue stopped talking, she immediately understood the reason why he didn't rest well. She didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only silently pick something to eat.

"Why did you all wake up so early?"

While Yin Chengyue was eating the packaged food, Ye Ziyan also came out from the tent. She couldn't help but be startled when she saw them wake up so early.

He should rest well. Only today would he have sufficient stamina to deal with all the obstacles in this illusionary world.

"Perhaps it's because the environment is too unfamiliar, so I can't sleep well."

Bai Jinfeng sighed, taking a handful of bread and handing it over to Ye Congyan, "Since you're all up, then we should set off earlier this time."

As for Li Yi, who still hadn't woken up yet, he could just drag him away when they wanted to leave.

"No."

Ye Ziyan took the bread from his hand, a strange expression on her face. "I can't go up so early."

Yin Yanyue frowned, "Why?"

Shouldn't there be more time for him to enter the illusion realm? If they waited until nightfall and had bad vision, then nothing they did would be beneficial.

"The divine beast guarding the Gate of Illusion from above has poor eyesight, especially in the strong light. It can only rely on smell to determine the direction."

Ye Ziyan glanced at the endless mountain peaks behind him, "So, it's better if we wait until the sun is high in the afternoon before we go up."

"How do you know?"

The expression in the young noble's eyes changed, as he looked at her with a look full of profoundness.

The divine beasts here were definitely not common, but Ye Ziyan knew the characteristics of the divine beasts here, unless she had never come here before or heard of someone telling her before.

But the person who could tell her this information must have been someone who had come to this fantasy world.

Ye Congyan's expression stiffened slightly, but immediately returned to normal. "I knew a friend who came to the illusion world before. She was the one who told me."

Hearing that, Yin Yeyue continued to ask, "So she succeeded in the end?"

"Nope."

Ye Congyan lowered her head, hiding all the emotions from her face. "In the end, none of her friends managed to break through the illusion. Many of their friends died, so she was the only one left."

When she spoke, her tone was clearly filled with intense grief.

Yin Yanyue pursed her lips, no longer asking.

The young noble looked at Ye Ziyan for a few more seconds with a meaningful look.

He felt that the situation was not like what Ye Conghan had said. She must be hiding something.

Since they had received such news, they decided to wait until noon, when the sun was at its brightest.

In this way, no one planned to wake Li Yi up. He slept the entire morning and didn't show any signs of waking up until lunchtime.

They split the work between Bai Jinfeng and Gong Shaowen, who were in charge of lighting a fire in the forest, and Yin Chengyue and Ye Ziyan, who were in charge of setting a fire.

"How long have you and the viscount known each other?"

Ye Congyan sat to one side, watching the slowly igniting flames. He turned his head to look at Yin Yanyue.

Yin Yanyue was slightly stunned. She put down the firewood in her hand and didn't answer for a while.

"I didn't mean anything else." Ye Ziyan thought she had misunderstood something and hurriedly explained, "I just feel that the way you two get along is very natural. It seems like you two have been together for a long time."

Yin Yanyue paused, "Actually, it's not a long time. We met fifteen years ago, but I didn't see him in between. I only saw him again half a year ago. "

In the last ten or so years, she had only heard about Uncle Gu, but she had never seen him. Instead, she had seen Uncle Bai often.

Ye Congyan nodded her head in understanding. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke again, "The Viscount always treats people differently, but to you, he gives it his all, you really are lucky."

When she said this, her tone was somewhat strange, mixed with too many complex emotions.

Yin Yanyue pursed her lips but did not reply.

She didn't know what she should say to Ye Ziyan. Perhaps, it was the best choice for her to not say anything to her informant in this situation.

"Why didn't anyone call me?"

Li Yi's voice suddenly came from behind. He then turned around and sat on the edge of the bonfire. "What are you guys talking about?"

Yin Xiaoyue tilted her head and glanced at him, her face filled with impatience. "It has nothing to do with you."

Li Yi smirked, then turned to look at Ye Congyan, "Where are you from? I've never seen you before. "

She shouldn't be from the Xi Ling Empire. As the emperor of the Xi Ling Empire, he had never seen her face before.

Ye Ziyan's appearance was that of a half-breed with delicate facial features. He could definitely remember her face just by looking at her once, but Li Yi had never seen her. This meant that she must have come from somewhere else.

"I am with the sect."

Ye Congyan sighed with a helpless look on her face. "I had expected you to ask this question one day, but I didn't expect you to ask me so late."

She originally thought that someone would ask her on the first day they met with Yin Chengyue, but she didn't expect that it was Li Yi who asked the question.

Actually, Yin Yanyue had wanted to ask Ye Ziyan this question before, but then she thought that it was Uncle Gu who brought Ye Ziyan here, so even if she knew which country she came from, there wouldn't be much of a change.

Uncle Gu had always been cautious when doing things. If there was anything wrong with Ye Congyan, he definitely wouldn't keep her by his side.

She believed in Uncle Gu's way of looking at people.
