After that, Gu Ning told Jing Yunyao what had happened after she traveled back in time.
Jing Yunyao said, “Since you traveled back in time through a barrier, everything here shouldn’t really exist. It might just be an illusion. You just intruded into an illusion. That’s my guess, and I’m not sure of it, but I think it’s highly likely.”
“An illusion?” Hearing that, Gu Ning suddenly felt it might be true. It wasn’t easy to travel back in time after all.
“If so, I think it can be the truth! If it’s really an illusion, what should I do now?” Gu Ning asked.
Gu Ning understood what an illusion was, but she knew very little about it. It was still a strange thing for her.
“There is an entrance and exit to each illusion. As long as you can find the entrance, you can get back to your life. I think the barrier you just mentioned could be the entrance and exit,” said Jing Yunyao. She wasn’t sure, but it was very likely to be the answer.
“Then I guess we have to go back to the barrier,” said Gu Ning. She had also thought that they could go back to where they came from through the barrier.
Although Jing Yunyao just met her son and had to watch them leave right now, she knew that they couldn’t stay here if it was really an illusion. Because an illusion could continue to change and make trouble, it would torture people and drive them crazy. And after they went crazy, they would die.
If Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting died, what should their families and friends do? Jing Yunyao would suffer the pain of losing her son in the future. Therefore, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to do her best to help them get out of here.
They went to the cave again and walked into it.
Although Gu Ning already told her there was wind in it, Jing Yunyao still felt it was strange when she felt it in reality. After all, this was the first time that she had ever met such a thing.
After a while, they reached the place where the steel bars were welded.
Because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting connected the steel bars before they left, no one found out. However, instead of welding it, they directly glued it together with super glue, and could easily take it apart with a little force.
Therefore, when they went to the hole where the steel bars were welded, Gu Ning went directly to take down the broken steel bars, then they got in.
Because Jing Yunyao was in the Yuan Ying Period, the wind barely bothered her, while Leng Shaoting could only stand behind her.
Due to Jing Yunyao’s help, it was much easier for them to get closer to the barrier.
The still fake Leng Shaoting was still standing in front of the barrier.
As soon as the fake Leng Shaoting saw Gu Ning coming back, his face lit up. “Ningning, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Let’s go back now!”
It seemed as if nothing had happened before. He seemed to be the real Leng Shaoting. He was so good at acting that Gu Ning was almost convinced, but in the end it was impossible for her to believe him.
If he was the real Leng Shaoting, he wouldn’t have no reaction when he saw Jing Yunyao.
“Stop acting. I won’t believe you,” said Gu Ning coldly.
“Ningning, what happened? I’m not acting. Did something go wrong? I don’t want you to misunderstand me,” said Leng Shaoting, looking a little hurt. It made Gu Ning feel that he might be the real Leng Shaoting. However, he was the fake Leng Shaoting and it wouldn’t be changed.
If Gu Ning was an ordinary girl, she might have been convinced by him!
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” Gu Ning sneered.
“Ningning, stop arguing. We should go back right now. We’ve disappeared for so long. Jinchen and the others should be very anxious.” Facing Gu Ning’s mockery, Leng Shaoting wasn’t mad at all. He only looked anxious.
“If you want me to believe that you’re the real Shaoting, let the flood dragon out now,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, the fake Leng Shaoting became angry in an instant and came to attack Gu Ning right away.
“Leave him to me. Seize a chance and go through the barrier,” said Jing Yunyao and immediately went to fight with the fake Leng Shaoting.
The fake Leng Shaoting obviously was no match for Jing Yunyao, so she soon controlled him. At this time, Gu Ning pulled the real Leng Shaoting and rushed to the barrier.
Before the barrier, the two turned back and gave Jing Yunyao a glance, then ran into the barrier. However, an accident happened at this time. Gu Ning successfully got in the barrier, but Leng Shaoting was bounced away the second he touched it.
In the barrier, Gu Ning was scared. She subconsciously wanted to catch Leng Shaoting, but everything in her sight suddenly disappeared, so did the barrier. Even though Gu Ning wanted to go back, she couldn’t see the road.
Now, she was sure that Leng Shaoting and she had entered an illusion. She didn’t actually travel in time back to the days before her reincarnation.
That Leng Shaoting, however, didn’t make it. Did it mean that he wasn’t the Leng Shaoting who traveled back in time with her?
Thinking of that, Gu Ning felt it was possible. If he was the Leng Shaoting who traveled back in time with her, he wouldn’t have no memory and ability while she kept all her memories and abilities.
Because of that, Gu Ning didn’t feel upset when Leng Shaoting failed to go through the barrier with her.
Where was Leng Shaoting right now? Did he go into another illusion alone?
That must be the answer.
…
It was true that Leng Shaoting entered another illusion.
After he woke up, he didn’t travel back in time to a certain year, but he went to a misty forest.
The first idea that appeared in his mind was that he traveled back in time to this misty forest.
He also had other guesses. Perhaps this was another world, like the cultivation world, which was separated from the mortals’ world. Anyway, for the time being, Leng Shaoting couldn’t believe that it was an illusion.
He didn’t care about whether it was another world or not, he was very anxious once he found that Gu Ning was absent. He had to find her as soon as possible. Unfortunately, in an unknown situation, Leng Shaoting had no idea where to search for Gu Ning.
“Ningning, are you with me? Can you hear me? Say something if you can hear me..”
