What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Jiuge didn't know what would happen if she broke the rules, but now she suddenly didn't care so much.

“We forgot to tell you.” The mother stood gracefully to the side, her face calm.

It seemed as if they had no emotional reaction whatsoever to Jiuge's rebellious behavior.

"..."

Jiuge remained silent.

She didn't even know whether she should be happy or sad at that moment.

"The identity of a knight is a secret that the association cannot delve into; very few people know it, and I hope you understand that as well," the father said calmly.

"What does 'father' mean?" After thinking for a while, Jiuge frowned.

She knew that her uncle, the knight, didn't know who he was, but her father's words were tantamount to saying that the knight had a great secret and that there were people in the association who knew about it.

“He changes his personality every two to three years, which started many, many years ago.”

"Does Father mean that the knight from before has disappeared?"

You can understand it that way.

After saying this, the father got up and left with the mother.

Chapter 102 An Chen's Anger

"An Chen?" Jiu Ge's voice trailed off.

Blood splattered everywhere.

An Chen gently caught the falling Jiu Ge, his hands trembling slightly.

The blood that splattered onto his face was scalding hot and tasted fishy.

Jiuge was very light, thin and frail, and An Chen only needed one hand to wrap his entire body around her.

In his memory, Jiuge had always been steadfast and strong, always at the forefront in times of trouble.

An Chen had never held Jiu Ge before, and he never imagined that this girl was actually so thin and frail.

"Nine Songs?"

A feeling of fear and panic washed over me.

An Chen hadn't felt this way in a very long time.

During his childhood, he was naive and carefree, living each day without a thought for the world.

Even though he wasn't very good at psychic abilities and was often misunderstood and gossiped about by others, he didn't care.

If it weren't for the sudden incident involving Phantom three years ago, which made him realize his own weakness, An Chen wouldn't have grown into the person he is today.

Through intense training and honing his skills, he finally developed exceptional abilities and rarely encountered any opponents who could give him a headache.

For a very long time afterward, aside from feelings of hatred towards the phantom and nostalgia for his previous life, An Chen never felt panic again.

In fact, they don't even experience any extra emotions on ordinary days.

He thought he would never experience something like this again.

To avoid such a situation, he had already distanced himself from the vast majority of people.

When he first met Jiuge, he subconsciously and intentionally avoided getting closer to her.

I thought there would be no more people I cared about.

I thought that such a painful situation would never happen again.

I thought that the important people in my life wouldn't leave me again.

She thought that with her by her side, nothing could possibly threaten Jiuge.

Despite being terrified of the spirits and her eyes welling up with tears, Jiu Ge insisted on pretending to be calm.

Jiuge is often shy, but she stubbornly refuses to admit it.

Jiuge, who can't sleep peacefully in the illusion, has to hold his arm while sleeping.

Jiu Ge, with an adorable tone, says, "Our relationship is that of a married couple!"

Jiu Ge, with a cold and aloof expression, asked him during their first meeting, "Can you see it too?"

Jiu Ge, who always secretly glances at him while holding milk candy, and who looks away when he notices.

Jiuge always looks confident as she plays with her hair with her fingers.

Jiuge held his hand until it was sweaty and refused to let go.

Jiuge showed him her true self.

Jiuge, waving her fist, said she would help him catch the phantom...

Countless memories came flooding back.

Jiuge in his arms had lost consciousness, and her face was even paler than usual.

An Chen wrapped one arm around her and used the other hand to cast a healing spell to stop the bleeding from her body.

The healing spell could barely save Jiuge's life and temporarily control her injuries, but it was ultimately only a temporary fix.

The Mosaic Man's bayonet was very large and long; it pierced through Jiuge and was immediately pulled out, causing him to lose a large amount of blood in a short period of time.

Blood was everywhere—on Jiu Ge's body, on An Chen's body and face, and on the ground.

The situation has deviated from expectations, and time is of the essence.

The next second, he glared angrily at the mosaic man, whose condition was also unstable.

The mosaic man convulsed, his bayonet still stained with blood.

An Chen took a deep breath.

He didn't speak, didn't question, and didn't wipe the blood from his face.

The 'Yuan' on his waist emitted an astonishing red light.

An Chen didn't need to lift a finger; he simply glared coldly at the mosaic-covered man.

The mosaic figure next to it shattered on the spot.

An Chen stood up and gently hugged Jiu Ge back into his arms.

Looking around, he began to search for the stone that was the source of all evil.

The little dog, Egg, was terrified and had already fainted nearby.

There were no more mosaic figures in the vicinity.

All the other passersby had also disappeared.

Within sight, apart from the lying dog Egg and Jiu Ge in his arms, there was no one else.

At this point, An Chen suddenly calmed down again, and his expression returned to calm.

Panic and being at a loss will not help at all.

With Jiuge's life hanging by a thread, he only had two choices.

First, we need to find Yu Bei.

Second, look for stones.

Considering the current situation, An Chen chose the latter.

……

"Huh? Isn't that the Histrionic Personality Knight?"

When Feng Kai opened his eyes again, the scene around him had returned to the edge of the forest where he first entered the illusion, which was one of the edges of the illusion.

This time, the person next to him wasn't Yu Bei, who often pretended to bump into him because she was worried he was too young, but a knight who shouldn't have appeared in the illusion.

There should have been a few residents around at that time, but now they're all gone.

"Something's changed." Feng Kai simply lay down on the ground, ready to give up.

The emergence of variables means that all previous inferences are invalidated.

If there's still a chance to save him, he'll help him come up with ideas and make predictions.

If there's no hope, he'll choose to leave the illusion directly.

The association didn't require the task to be completed. Even if they failed, they would definitely send other members to try later.

Furthermore, for spirits that have been unable to find peace since a hundred years ago, those willing to save them, aside from those seeking fame and fortune, are basically people with a strong sense of justice and extremely kind hearts.

Feng Kai clearly doesn't belong to any of these categories; at most, he's neutral.

His mind was filled only with a fervent thirst for knowledge and learning.

The reason I was willing to stay in the illusion for so long was to immerse myself in the environment of a hundred years ago and to truly understand the living conditions of people at that time.

“I hope you can accompany me throughout the entire operation.” The knight sat down next to Feng Kai.

"You can talk?" Feng Kai squinted at the azure sky.

He stuck the talisman from his pocket to his forehead and muttered a spell; he was already planning to go out.

In Feng Kai's eyes, this knight was an ominous presence. His appearance in the illusion was bound to bring bad luck, and his presence next to him was simply doubly unlucky.

If you were to obediently stay by the knight's side at this moment, you would be either stupid or mentally deficient.

"You can't get out." The knight touched his armor, his tone somewhat sarcastic.

"?"

Feng Kai also discovered that no matter how he recited the incantations and spells, they suddenly stopped working.

"Unless you guys can deal with the stones in the illusion." The knight tilted his head and reached out to tear the talisman off Feng Kai's forehead.

The talisman has a strong energy; it's still hot to the touch, and it continues to work even after being torn off.

After the knight tore off the talisman, his entire armor burned painfully.

With a "poof," the talisman crumbled.
