This was not something to be disappointed about.
It was only logical, given Ye Wuji's state, that it was far from normal, perhaps even extremely rare.
None of them had ever heard of Ye Wuji being in this particular state before. Even the books the little fox had read did not mention anything of the sort.
However, the little fox thought that perhaps she could research the books she had brought back from the tomb. After all, Ye Wuji had been in that tomb all along, and the people who had harmed him had also been active there.
It was possible that the books from that place might contain relevant clues.
Since Xiao Miaomiao could not offer much help in this regard, Ye Tiancheng could only place his hopes on the little fox.
If they couldn't figure out the direction or Ye Wuji's condition, trying to understand what had happened to him and how to restore him through other means would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
If they could find clues by searching through the books brought back from that place, their hopes might be greater.
At least, that was what Ye Tiancheng and the others believed.
Upon learning that Ye Tiancheng intended to help him recover, Ye Wuji was very grateful and expressed that he was not in a hurry and was content with regaining his freedom.
Ye Tiancheng and the others had already helped him a great deal.
In fact, Ye Wuji felt he had only guided Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Ye Wuji felt he hadn't been able to help much, so he felt he didn't deserve so much from Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Ye Tiancheng noticed that Ye Wuji seemed to be under some pressure and felt burdened, so he didn't bring up these matters too often. If there was a way to help, they would discuss it then. Bringing it up with Ye Wuji now would indeed be too exhausting for him.
Ye Tiancheng also felt a bit of pity.
Ye Wuji felt that he had already received so many benefits, and he would even be able to follow Ye Tiancheng and the others. If he were to remain in his current state for the rest of his life and be unable to become a normal person, Ye Wuji would not complain.
This was good enough. Compared to his previous dark and hopeless life, Ye Wuji could never have imagined meeting such good people and achieving such a good outcome.
After Ye Tiancheng and the others had discussed their plans, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping did not rush to leave with Xiao Miaomiao.
There were still some things to do before the group completely parted ways.
At the very least, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping remembered that some villagers and Ding Yijie were still waiting for them to return, as well as the whereabouts of the four young people.
They had already learned that two of them had been killed. Even if the other two young people had met the same fate, Nie Chongyang and the others at least had to find out the specific situation and convey it back before they could put this matter to rest.
They couldn't just leave without saying a word.
With the help of Ye Tiancheng, the little fox, and Xiao Miaomiao, they quickly found the four young people, who were clearly all deceased.
After all, coming to a haunted house in the middle of the night to play with evil spirits, knowing there might be real things inside, and courting death in such a way, was unforgivable, especially if it implicated others.
It was just a pity that Ding Yijie's mood could not be improved upon learning this result.
And for Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, there was also a great regret: they had not had the chance to obtain more clues from the two girls, Qiu Ju and A Juan, and did not know if these two girls had any connection with the mastermind.
It was unlikely they would have an opportunity to verify this anytime soon.
Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, along with Ye Tiancheng, escorted the bodies of the four young people back and handed them over to Ding Yijie, urging him to go home, learn from his mistakes, and never do such a thing again.
Ding Yijie, having lost four good friends, was deeply saddened.
And thinking of his friends' fate, and considering that if it weren't for Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping, he himself might have been among them. Although he already knew this, the impact of seeing it firsthand was always greater.
Ding Yijie was even more frightened and how could he not learn from his mistakes?
In any case, he would never court death again and would never return to this sad place.
Regarding the deaths of the four young people, the people in the nearby villages, although they were clearly quite dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of these young people, could not help but sigh with emotion when the tragedy truly occurred.
The deceased were gone, and they would not say anything more unpleasant.
At this point, saying anything was useless.
And being able to send Ding Yijie away, Liang Ping couldn't help but harbor some anticipation.
He was also very curious about what the Kunlun Mirror could achieve and whether it would truly affect the real world.
Everyone in their group was quite curious about this matter.
After all, none of them had ever heard of or seen or experienced anything in this regard.
It couldn't be said that there was absolutely nothing.
In this regard, Ye Tiancheng did not have completely no experience, but it was not entirely the same experience.
Ye Tiancheng had been reborn, but perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the world after his rebirth had changed drastically with a single flap of a butterfly's wings. The current world was so different that Ye Tiancheng could not recognize it.
But it had to be said that Ye Tiancheng, after his rebirth, had also gained a different life.
However, Ye Tiancheng would not tell others about this matter. He knew it in his heart. If others knew, whether it was him or his family and friends, they would probably never have peace.
Therefore, even if not for himself, but to protect those around him, Ye Tiancheng would bury this secret deep in his heart and never mention it to anyone.
However, Ye Tiancheng was also very interested in what the Kunlun Mirror could achieve and how it could do these things. If there was indeed room for utilization and great potential, Ye Tiancheng would be even happier.
He also had things he wanted to do.
If the imagined things could really be done, what would be the difference between that and having an antidote for regret for the people in this world?
This was an opportunity that money could not buy.
Ye Tiancheng sighed inwardly.
Regarding this issue, after Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping had discussed it, they would verify some things in the real world after leaving Xiao Jing City and returning to the real world.
And it would not be difficult to verify.
After all, the best point of verification was Liang Ping's family. Ding Yijie was related to Liang Ping. In Xiao Jing City, Ding Yijie's fate had been changed. Then, whether it had changed in reality would not be a difficult thing to verify.
If Ding Yijie's situation could have room for a turnaround, then other matters would truly have great potential.
There was also another issue.
After Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping left Xiao Jing City, they would conduct an investigation in the real world related to the events that occurred in Xiao Jing City.
Too many coincidences are not coincidences.
They were also worried that there might be a conspiracy behind this. If so, it would be very bad, and they would have to guard against it. If it were just a coincidence, it would be somewhat reassuring.
But if there was a conspiracy behind it, they absolutely could not be unaware of it.
Ignorance was not happiness, but sorrow.
No one would wish to die one day without even knowing how they died.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox both strongly supported Nie Chongyang and the others in doing so. They also needed Nie Chongyang and the others to help verify these matters.
There was clearly a conspiracy behind this.
Ye Tiancheng and the others were also worried that this conspiracy might interfere with what they were trying to do and hinder each other.
Then, there was Ye Tiancheng and his side.
Ye Tiancheng believed that he and the little fox had to stay in Xiao Jing City for a longer period. Besides the issue of the little fox's remnant soul, Ye Tiancheng and the others also remembered that they had come here in search of the whereabouts of the fragments of the Fuxi Qin.
And when they first arrived at the underwater world, they had sensed the aura of several Fuxi Qin fragments, but they could not determine where the Fuxi Qin fragments were hidden.
And the first place they searched was the ancestral hall.
As a result, as soon as they began searching for clues in the ancestral hall, something unexpected happened, and they were drawn into Xiao Jing City, experiencing so many things.
If there were no Fuxi Qin fragments in Xiao Jing City, then after leaving Xiao Jing City, they might still stay at the bottom of the lake, carefully exploring the underwater world, and figuring out why there was the aura of Fuxi Qin fragments here, and whether there were Fuxi Qin fragments.
Ye Tiancheng absolutely dared not neglect this matter.
However, thinking back to what happened at the bottom of the lake at the very beginning, Ye Tiancheng fell into deep thought.
The situation at the bottom of the lake was indeed worth pondering now.
Although it had been a long time ago, and for the real world, perhaps not even a day had passed, Ye Tiancheng and the others had really stayed in Xiao Jing City for too long, and it was already a bit difficult to recall the situation at the time.
At least some details were difficult for them to remember.
However, Ye Tiancheng did recall another important detail.
He suddenly remembered that when he had asked Ye Wuji his name earlier, Ye Wuji had said that he had no name when he was younger, but his family's surname was Zeng.
At the same time, Ye Tiancheng recalled the ancestral hall that had drawn them into Xiao Jing City and immediately remembered another matter. This matter might be very important and a crucial clue.
Ye Tiancheng still remembered this.
In the ancestral hall at that time, the memorial tablets clearly stated that the people in that ancestral hall were all surnamed Zeng.
It was the ancestral hall of the Zeng family.
Did the Zeng family in the ancestral hall have any relationship with Ye Wuji's former home?
He felt that there must be some connection between the two.
However, Ye Tiancheng also remembered that Ye Wuji had said that his family was just from the village, which seemed to not match.
