Chapter 1340: I'm making a fuss over nothing.
The little paper figure resisted the urge to roll its eyes, but its body betrayed its true intentions, and it kept its distance.
The feeling of not being able to perceive the passage of time or the things happening around him was too eerie, and the little paper doll dared not gamble on it.
"You still haven't told me what happened, whether it was my master..."
The little paper figure suddenly stopped talking after the last few words. It felt inexplicably flustered, and the words "avoiding prophecy" flashed through its mind.
Chi Yao put the mirror back in his arms, his eyes clearly showing confusion.
"I can't find Yunran."
These words immediately stunned the little paper figure. What did it mean that it couldn't find its master?
The owner of this house is in the living room, not far from this yard! How could he have disappeared?!
The little paper figure tried its best to control its panic and kept reassuring itself.
The master is so powerful, he couldn't possibly disappear; he might just be temporarily gone...
"I just searched the entire Dreamland, but I haven't found anything. I can't find her for now."
Chi Yao is the master of this dreamlike realm. If he wants, he can easily find even a blade of grass or a speck of dust in this dreamlike realm.
But Yunran, a living person, didn't leave a single trace.
Either Yunran has left the Dreamland, or Yunran has a way to block his detection.
The Dreamland recurs once every hundred years.
In the last reincarnation with Yunran, the Dreamland almost shattered because Yunran suddenly disappeared due to serious injuries.
This time, there were no major fluctuations in the Dreamland, so it shouldn't be a major change on Yunran's side.
"It must be your master who used some special methods; I'm the one making a fuss over nothing."
Chi Yao lay back down in the chair. As long as Yun Ran and the Dreamland were alright, he could continue to lie there leisurely.
But the little paper doll didn't know any of this. It only saw that Chi Yao looked very worried one second, but the next second, he was indifferent.
This angered the little paper figure, and without thinking, it rushed towards Chi Yao.
"You..."
The little paper doll wanted to say, "You heartless thing," but before it could finish speaking, it was frozen in place by Chi Yao.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Your master is fine. I've already said it, this is her destiny, and it's a path she has to forge herself."
If she fails to pass through, she will enter a new cycle of the dreamlike mirror again next time.
But whether I, the master of this dream world, will still side with her next time is hard to say.
These words should never be uttered in broad daylight, not even by Chi Yao, the master of this dreamlike realm.
Otherwise, the rules of the dream world will change again, and many things will become unpredictable and uncontrollable.
This time, in order to avoid the people in the temple, Chi Yao directly put the entire courtyard into a state of etherealization.
This forcibly changed everyone's perception, and no one remembered the existence of such a courtyard in this stronghold.
In this situation, the entire courtyard, including the people and objects within it, exists on a level that is inaccessible and imperceptible.
The secrets that Chi Yao revealed could not be taken outside the courtyard, so they were absolutely safe.
The little paper figure's body was frozen in place, unable to even make a sound, but its senses were not restricted.
Upon hearing what Chi Yao said, his bright eyes immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
So that's how it is! So that's how it is!!!
"Are you calm now? If you are, blink." The little paper doll blinked several times in a row, as if afraid that Chi Yao wouldn't see it.
It understood, calmed down, and stopped causing trouble.
Since it was the master's good fortune, it could only wait.
Chi Yao raised his hand and waved, and the little paper figure regained its freedom.
After twisting its body again, the little paper figure did not continue rushing towards Chi Yao, but instead ran towards the roof in the opposite direction.
Knowing that Chi Yao didn't have any ill intentions towards his master for the time being, the little paper doll still found Chi Yao somewhat annoying and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Meanwhile, Qinglong and his group went to another separate courtyard.
The heads of families in Meicheng followed obediently behind, looking like little lackeys, not daring to utter a single unnecessary word.
"You all wait at the outer gate. No one is allowed to approach!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The young prince and his companions headed towards the study, where a brand-new magic array, radiating a terrifying aura, had been set up. No one dared to test its power.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on here? What's the situation with that dragon spirit?"
Those who can be the head of a household don't really act like dogs; they just have to bow their heads because of power.
The fact that they weren't allowed to say a single word before doesn't mean they'll actually stay here and stand guard obediently.
Sure enough, it was clear that the people the young prince brought were not paying full attention to them.
Immediately, some people began a new round of probing by using this method of criticizing crickets.
"What else could it be? It's something that happens above, it doesn't concern us much, don't worry about it."
"Aren't you curious? For that young prince to come in person, and for someone who seems to be from the temple, what if something really is going on..."
"No matter what happens, don't even think about eating meat. We'll be happy with just some soup."
“We’re alright, young prince. At least he’s willing to let us be his dogs. Didn’t you see? The Mei family was left out in the cold.”
"Speaking of which, how did the Mei family offend the young prince? After this incident, their status as the number one family in Mei City may be unstable."
……
At this point, the expressions on the faces of the family heads suddenly became somewhat amused.
They appeared to be chirping crickets, but they seemed genuinely curious about what the young prince and his entourage were up to.
In reality, their true purpose was simply to form an alliance through this method.
The Mei family is their ultimate target, and Mei City is their battlefield.
The young prince in his study had no idea that those outside whom he treated like dogs were doing so because of his attitude.
The idea of reshuffling the power structure in Meicheng has already been conceived.
Qinglong and the bald monk sat at the head of the table, their expressions revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Young Prince, continue to have people investigate that woman's background. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
"Uncle, don't worry, I will have people investigate. As for the Mei family, I suspect they know something. However, the head of the Mei family seems to be very afraid of that woman, so we need some time to get him to talk."
