Arknights, are you a good person?

hum~

The fragment of Jie's authority was still suspended in the air, and with a slight vibration, it made a vibrating sound. It was struggling with the surrounding dream space, as if it would escape from the dream at any time.

"It doesn't matter. I have studied for hundreds of years how to turn a dream into an airtight cage."

"I can easily trap even the 30-year-old agent. There are only some fragments of authority that react instinctively. It is impossible for them to escape from my control."

Although Ling was drinking leisurely, he was definitely not as relaxed as he appeared.

Ling was very tired, but since it was the eldest sister's responsibility, she chose to shoulder it alone and did not want to share it with others. Qi Yuan and Chong Yue were very tactful and pretended that they knew nothing, and they had a very good understanding of each other.

"These are the fragments of the third sister. Qi Yuan, what is your first impression of her?" Ling asked after taking a sip of wine.

“It doesn’t feel concrete at all, but rather abstract.”

Qi Yuan looked at it for a while and commented: "I seem to see the ancestor who taught the people and the little sister who invented the crossword puzzle game to tease her brothers at the same time."

"..."

“Isn’t that a bit too specific?”

Zhongyue put down his wine glass, put his hands into his sleeves, and sighed softly.

"Now that the power has been taken away, what should we do next?" Seeing this, Qi Yuan immediately changed the subject to business.

"After this battle, Sui's vitality was severely damaged, and he lost the authority he had just gained. He can no longer reach out to the outside world." Ling calmly reported the results of the acupuncture. "What a great victory."

Qi Yuan nodded. He knew everything Ling had said.

Next, he would probably say that Qi Yuan didn’t know.

"But unfortunately, before the matter is resolved, I must temporarily stay in this dream and personally watch this fragment of authority, otherwise it will fly back to the mausoleum, and all our efforts will be wasted."

"Brother, Qi Yuan, you have no objection, right?"

Ling looked around and smiled carefreely: "I sleep much more than I wake up. Occasionally having a lucid dream where I can't relax at any moment and playing games with my true self is a new experience."

Qi Yuan shook his head in confusion: "So after you took away the power, you didn't have any plans at all?"

"of course."

To Qi Yuan's surprise, Zhongyue and Ling did not deny it, but nodded in acknowledgement.

"Qi Yuan, before you showed up, our best hope was to live independently from Sui, and then die together with Sui. At the very least, we would use our death to cause some trouble to Him. Apart from these, we have no other wishes."

"Qi Yuan, we never thought that we could achieve such a result by defeating Sui and making him throw away his weapons and curse loudly."

Ling and Shigekatsu said honestly, and Ling then added:

"Only when my second brother was at his craziest did he have thoughts similar to your behavior and was planning step by step. He might have further ideas."

"That's right. I'll go ask him what he plans to do after rescuing Jie, and then I'll just copy him."

Qi Yuan nodded and said in agreement.

"After looking at him like crazy for so long, only you can talk to him so intimately." Zhongyue was filled with emotion.

"He is currently in Longmen No. 3 Prison. Why don't you go visit him?"

"..."

Ever since Jie's accidental death, the other fragments have been busy with their own affairs, pursuing their own ways of redemption. Except for Nian who likes to visit people everywhere, there has really been less interaction between them.

"Si Sui Tai also doesn't allow us to come and go as we please." Ling took a sip of wine, "Is his name Si Sui Tai?"

"It seems that you don't care about Simuitai either." Qi Yuan was puzzled.

"I fully respect the wishes of all Yan country's official staff." Zhong Yue pointed out seriously that this cannot be joked about casually.

"Besides Si Sui Tai?"

"Even including Simuangtai."

The jokes about Yan State politics were a little hard to go with the wine, so Ling drank a little less than before and sighed, "Why didn't Xi come out? Little Motou's little expressions and movements are perfect for drinking."

Ling did not tell Qi Yuan that the True Dragon and the Grand Tutor outside were already anxious and started circling around the sleeping Qi Yuan.

Taifu and Zhenlong felt that such expressions were really a good match for drinking.

Let them worry for a while.

-----------------------------------------

After drinking a few glasses of strong liquor, the 19-year-old Qi Yuan's face was slightly blushing in his dream. This was also reflected in the outside world. Qi Yuan's face gradually turned red while sleeping, which made the real dragon outside very anxious.

"Teacher, Qi Yuan seems to be injured." Zhenlong grabbed Qi Yuan's shoulders and shook him violently.

"Will the injuries sustained in a dream manifest in reality?"

Even though the power of the Sui Beast fragments has recorded many phenomena, phenomena are always just phenomena, and Simui Tai simply cannot see the possibility of summarizing basic principles from the phenomena.

"This red face is exactly like drinking white wine, Your Majesty, do you think it will be..."

"Teacher, how could my face turn red in reality if I drank in a dream?" The real dragon's tail shook back and forth, looking extremely anxious.

You two called me Your Majesty and I called you Teacher, and it was very confusing for a while.

"As a last resort, we can only ask a certain old Taoist priest to come here."

The Grand Master sighed and said, "Use the white flames that burn the sky to shatter the illusory dream and pull Qi Yuan out of the dream."

"What are you waiting for?"

In a flash, Zhenlong took out a large seal and stuffed it into the Taifu's hand.

"Teacher, you write much faster than I do. After you draft the edict, please stamp it with your seal. Then, take the transfer order to the Far North front and borrow the old Heavenly Master back."

544: I want to take Master Zhongyue abroad for fun (3 more)

It's no wonder that Zhenlong and Taifu made a fuss about nothing. This matter is absolutely of great importance. Any changes must be carefully recorded and written into the archives for the officials of the Simaitai to study desperately.

Although he knew in his heart that Qi Yuan's heroic act was not excessive no matter how it was treated, he still felt amused when he looked at Ling outside the dream.

It goes really well with alcohol.

She took another big gulp of wine, thinking that it was time to let Qi Yuan go back.

"Let me continue to fight against the years, and the fun will be endless."

but--

Just as Ling was about to open his mouth slowly, something unexpected happened.

"I want to do something, too."

A voice as thin as a mosquito came from Qi Yuan's sleeve. He stretched out his hand in surprise and took out the album with the picture of the gate: "I called for a long time before but he didn't come out. Why did he come out now?"

The person who spoke was of course Xi.

However, what happened next was beyond Qi Yuan's expectations. This appropriate teasing did not receive any response.

Xiyue is not usually like this.

The door slowly opened, and a slender green arm stretched out. Xi's knuckles bulged out a little due to excessive force, and the whole arm was trembling slightly.

"What do you want to do, Xi?" Qi Yuan stood with his older brother and sister and asked puzzledly.

Xi said nothing and shook the album gently.

The color of heaven and earth changes.

Everything around them was collected in the album, and the scenery had completely changed. Previously, it was a small pavilion on the hillside with an extremely wide view. Now it was a primary school with the door half-closed, and the three of them were on the corridor.

In the school, there were childish sounds of reading.

"Don't open the door. I have already exhausted my ability to draw this scene. I don't have the energy to draw more characters."

"..."

"..."

Qi Yuan, Zhong Yue and Ling did not speak. They were all shocked by the scene before them - the fragments of power that were extremely restless in the dream and could leave the dream at any time suddenly stabilized incredibly, as if they had gained spiritual comfort.

"Little Motou, you are awesome."

Ling couldn't help but admire it.

"I... am not as capable as my brother and sister. You are thinking about how to save yourself and how to break the impasse. But a long time ago, I felt that I would definitely fail, and I used all my energy to figure out how to cause trouble for Sui after my death."

“This is what I found.”

Xi sighed and said, "I want to seal my body and authority and hide them where no one can find them. Even if I die, it will cause great trouble to Sui. As for the scene, don't think too much about it."

"You didn't prepare a painting of this scene for each of us, did you?"

Ling Ke couldn't bear to hear this, so he crossed his arms and said, "I know that if Jie were alive, he would definitely like this painting very much."

"..."

Sometimes, silence is also an answer.

Xi suddenly retracted his hand, and the simple school was instantly included in the scroll, along with the fragments of Jie's power. The green hand also retracted, and then the door was closed with a bang.

The scroll fell to the ground with a bang. Qi Yuan slowly rolled up the album and put it into his sleeve helplessly.

"Just let Xi keep it."

"When it comes to hiding things, Xi is indeed the best. She is the most meticulous one among us."

Qi Yuan also realized that when the power fragments were in the dream, they were only barely maintained, and Ling had to constantly fight with wits and courage. Once they were scrolled into Xi's painting, they immediately became obedient. It seemed that Xi didn't pay any price.

“This is a pleasant surprise.”

Qi Yuan nodded: "Grandmaster, should we wake up?"

"really."

"Qi Yuan, be careful when you wake up." Ling suddenly laughed evilly, making Qi Yuan a little alert.

But before he could ask anything, he was asked to wake up from the dream.

"You can keep the wine gourd. I left a river in it. Drinking can strengthen oneself. The ability to enter dreams will always be there, but it is not in Shangshu. It is too far away from me. It is not as powerful as it is today."

"Yawn~ Goodbye then, brother, Qi Yuan, take care of yourselves, let me dream for a while longer."

Ling drank too much and finally couldn't help yawning.

-----------------------------------------

As soon as Qi Yuan opened his eyes, he felt a little dizzy. He immediately felt that what Ling said was all a lie. He drank in his dream and had a slight hangover when he woke up.

Too bad, he didn't even drink at all.

But the movement in the sky suddenly attracted Qi Yuan's attention. It was a bolt of lightning that struck across the sky, and Qi Yuan was so scared that he stood up immediately.

"I'm awake, old master, please come back soon, no need to call for help!"

He understood Ling's meaning instantly, but he wondered if Ling was laughing secretly in his dream at the chaos.

Qi Yuan lifted the quilt covering his body and stepped on the soft couch. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. The thin quilt was cool and smooth, and was an extremely solemn red and black color, with vivid dragon patterns embroidered on it.

"How about my quilt?"

The real dragon suddenly came over and asked, "On the first day I arrived, I ordered the palace to start work. It just so happened that Shang Shu's Shu brocade was famous, and the famous wealth was all here, so my needs were met very quickly."

Qi Yuan felt a little guilty and stuffed all the luxurious brocade and cushions back.

"Don't be so formal."

Zhenlong quickly pushed it back: "Just keep it, just think of it as a sleeping bag, it's not a big deal."

The returning Taifu was covered in lightning. He happened to hear Zhenlong's words and suddenly looked helpless.

"Your Majesty, those quilts are embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons." The tutor reminded helplessly.

"I don't think it really matters."

The real dragon pretends to be stupid.

After much persuasion, Qi Yuan finally gently rotated the bronze bracelet and put away this set of useless things.

The Grand Tutor came forward, released his static electricity, and immediately began to praise Qi Yuan for his great achievements. This gave him an opportunity, and Qi Yuan took the opportunity to put forward his own request.

"Can I take those Year Beast fragments with me to travel abroad?"

"?"
