The man in purple looked at the man in white. “Did you bring the item?”
The man in white didn’t reply. He just looked at the lady, waiting for her answer.
“I have made up my mind. Give him that item.”
Feng Tianlan looked at her. Those words came out easily, but she could hear the lady’s pain and her disappointment. She was completely heartbroken.
The man white let out a soft “uh-huh” and handed the brocade box to the lady.
She passed it over to the man in purple without even looking at it. “Feng, let me ask you one more time. Between the world and me, which do you choose?”
After a slight hesitation, he took the brocade box. He opened it and peeked within. Inside the box was a green pearl. It was what he wanted. He answered without any hesitation, “The world.”
It was an answer she expected. However, it made her heart ache.
“Let’s go.” She put her hand in the man in white’s and stopped looking at the man in purple’s who was obsessed over the pearl.
Feng Tianlan looked at the man in white holding the lady’s waist as they made a gentle leap and flew into a distance. One was dressed in red while the other was dressed in white. It made them look like a fairy couple flying through the air. The man in purple on the other hand was still mesmerized by the pearl. He didn’t even glance up at her.
She raised her head and looked at the lady, feeling sorry for her. The lady waved her hand in a stroke, cutting her long skirt tail and her royal dress in half. They fluttered in the wind and landed in the hands of the man in purple, obscuring the pearl from his sight.
At last, he was willing to look up from the pearl and at the sky. He held the section of the red skirt tail tightly. “Yun’er.”
Feng Tianlan looked at him. Suddenly, a thought crossed in her mind. One day, he would definitely regret it.
The scene suddenly changed. She was in complete darkness. A rotten smell filled the air. The sound of iron chains rattling could be heard. This made Feng Tianlan tremble. This feeling was too familiar to her.
This was a detainee’s dungeon!
With a squeak, the steel door opened. Half of the dungeon was bathed in sunlight. It was the lady in red. She ran in with a sullen face. Feng Tianlan followed right after her.
At the end of the dungeon, she saw a man with his shoulder blade punctured and his limbs hitched in iron chains as he dropped his head. This was the man that appeared in her last dream whose name she couldn’t call out. “Wu—”
Just as Feng Tianlan heard the lady calling out his surname, she suddenly opened her eyes. What she saw was a familiar sight. It wasn’t the dungeon but her room in the Yanyue Building.
“Mobai.” Feng Tianlan got up and saw Si Mobai still asleep. At that moment, the brilliant sunlight penetrated the paper window into the room. Evidently, a night had passed. She couldn’t help but frown. “It’s another dream related to him. Who exactly is he?”
This wasn’t her first time dreaming of that Master Wu. However, this dream was different from her previous ones. Previously, she thought she had been that lady, however, she was just a bystander this time.
What was that pearl?
The man in purple exchanged the lady for a pearl. However, why did he call it the world?
She shook her head. She had to stop thinking about it since she couldn’t figure out anything by doing so. Maybe it was just an ordinary dream.
Feng Tianlan lowered her head and looked at Si Mobai who was asleep. She examined his body. His injuries had become much better, it’s just that he was still in deep slumber. When she thought about her dream, her gaze fell upon the zhusha between his eyebrows.
She remembered having a reaction in her heart and falling asleep after touching the zhusha. After that, she began having that dream. When she first dreamt of Master Wu, she had been staring at the zhusha.
