The man raised the corners of his lips slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking about, with a look of self-mockery in his eyes.

Yan Wang did not ask any further questions and waited patiently for his reply.

After a long while, the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses darkened: "When I passed by, I was greedy and wanted to take the things in the lamp... In the end, I was warned."

What's in the light?
Yan Wang seemed to think of something and his heart skipped a beat.

The man raised his hand, half thinking, half indifferent, as if it was not his burnt hand, but a research product: "However... after this experiment, I found that the power of rules is not difficult to change, but it requires some price."

Yan Wang looked at him seriously and said in disagreement: "You call this a price?"

The man turned around, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses: "If I could successfully get it back, this price is indeed not too high."

Yan Wang lowered his eyelashes: "...If you take it back, you won't be able to find this route in the future."

The man seemed surprised by his answer and was stunned for a moment.

Then, the corners of her lips slowly rose, and she looked at him with a playful smile: "So, you plan to be selfless and let your broken soul burn up in the lamp?"

Yan Wang did not answer immediately. He looked at the man in front of him in silence, as if trying to find out something from his slightly raised lips. That smile contained too many unknown secrets, like a dangerous gamble.

After a long while, he spoke in a low and firm voice: "I just think that any adventure should have a limit."

When he said this, his face was tense.

Although she knew that the man would not give up easily, she really did not want to see him fall into the endless abyss for the so-called "success".

Sure enough, the man pushed his glasses gently, as if he was surprised by Yan Wang's reaction, but more of it was an indescribable emotion.

The air between the two of them froze instantly, as if time had stopped flowing.

The man did not speak again, but just looked at Yan Wang quietly, as if he was trying to gauge his true intentions. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Do you know? The power of rules is everywhere, it is not limited to the things in the lamp. Every time I try to change it, I am playing a game with unknown forces."

"So what do you care about, the process or the result?" Yan Wang asked back.

The man laughed, with an elusive bitterness in his laughter: "What do you think? Every time... I can feel the pulse of that power. It is really irresistible."

"You know very well that if you insist on this, the consequences will be disastrous!" Yan Wang suddenly became serious and his tone became stronger.

But his eyes were clearly filled with worry.

The man's smile gradually faded, replaced by a rare seriousness: "If I can't turn back, it proves that I'm not strong enough."

Yan Wang was speechless...

He was silent for a moment, then stood up and picked up the medicine box in his hand: "I will never look like you in the future... No matter what... I can't easily risk my life..."

The man's expression twisted, and he said ferociously: "What do you know? You have never experienced loss--"

Yan Wang clenched his fists and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "She risked her life to get this opportunity, it's not for you and your brother to waste like this!"

The wind was cold and silent for a moment.

The man suddenly fell silent.

"I thought you only agreed to help you last time because you wanted to see her... but now it seems that you have gone a little crazy." Yan Wang's eyes were calm as if he was looking at a stranger. "If you can't figure it out... then her sacrifice is meaningless!"

After a pause, he added.

"She hopes that you will live well and stop doing stupid things. Go back." (End of this chapter)
