Because Ye Tiancheng could roughly guess what Ye Wuji might be thinking, even after receiving an affirmative answer from Ye Wuji, he did not feel reassured and directly stopped worrying about it.
Ye Tiancheng once again confirmed with Ye Wuji, "Are you truly thinking this way? Do you really not need to force yourself?"
Ye Wuji knew that Ye Tiancheng truly respected him.
Therefore, at this moment, facing Ye Tiancheng's repeated questioning, Ye Wuji spoke his true thoughts.
Ye Wuji replied, "Actually, I don't particularly resist it. After all, so much time has passed, and I've spent so many years in this place. I might not even see the people who harmed me back then."
"Although they were instigated and deceived by others, it cannot hide their actions. Even if it wasn't for this matter, they might have sacrificed others for their own benefit due to other reasons."
"To say I don't mind at all, that would be impossible."
He paused slightly.
Then, Ye Wuji continued, "However, even with that said, returning to my old haunts, I will definitely be a little nervous. But that's all. As for anything else, there isn't much."
"I feel that compared to my own small emotions, helping you with important matters is more crucial."
After listening to Ye Wuji's explanation, Ye Tiancheng nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Since Ye Wuji was willing, then it was fine.
If he kept refusing, it would seem hypocritical.
Next, they had to consider where to go upon entering the village.
Ye Tiancheng and the others discussed it and felt that the scene before them was constituted by Ye Wuji's memories. In such a situation, perhaps centering around Ye Wuji would yield a higher probability of finding clues.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng asked Ye Wuji if there was anywhere he wanted to go.
Ye Wuji understood the reason and pondered for a long time before finally saying to Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, "If I have to say, it would be to go home and see."
In Ye Wuji's memory, the person who treated him best and cared about him the most was his mother.
However, from the time he was captured and controlled by the villagers, then sent into the fire, until he left the village, Ye Wuji never had the chance to speak to his mother face-to-face again.
With such regret, if he had to say where he wanted to go, it would definitely be home.
Even though everything here was just an illusion.
Although it wasn't entirely an illusion, it wasn't entirely wrong to call it an illusion. Ye Tiancheng and the others used this term to explain it to Ye Wuji for his understanding.
After they took Ye Wuji away, it was necessary to give him a general understanding of the situation.
After all, what they were about to do was not an ordinary matter. If some things were not clarified in advance, it would easily lead to a lot of trouble later on. Moreover, they did not always have the energy and free time to provide explanations immediately.
Therefore, it was better to clarify troublesome matters in advance.
Thus, Ye Tiancheng and the others also explained the situation of Xiaojing City to Ye Wuji. Although they did not explain it very clearly, some aspects were too complicated and difficult to explain clearly, and they were afraid of causing misunderstandings.
However, explaining it to a degree that Ye Wuji could understand was sufficient.
After all, the parts that Ye Tiancheng and the others revealed were more or less enough.
Through the narration of Ye Tiancheng and the others, Ye Wuji could now discern that what could be seen here was not real. As long as he understood it this way, there would be no problem.
His ability to be so sensible was clearly one of the reasons why Ye Tiancheng and the others were willing to keep Ye Wuji by their side.
Otherwise, even for the sake of repaying a debt of gratitude, no matter how strong their sympathy, it would not lead Ye Tiancheng and the others to act against their own interests. After all, everyone understood the principle that important matters come first.
Even if they were not afraid of trouble, they had to make concessions for the sake of important matters.
If they had not discovered that the time flow in Xiaojing City was tricky and could be exploited by them, they would have had to postpone even resolving the little fox's soul problem.
However, seeing the current situation, Ye Tiancheng and the others were also a little bewildered.
Whether it was their first time entering Xiaojing City or their second time, not only did they encounter unexpected situations every time, but they also found no direction to search for news of the Fuxi Qin fragments.
Logically speaking, Ye Tiancheng now had control over the Kunlun Mirror, which meant he had a certain degree of control over Xiaojing City. However, even so, Ye Tiancheng could not rely on this to find the Fuxi Qin fragments.
Instead, more and more mysteries arose.
It was truly troublesome.
Although this did not mean they gained nothing, over a long period, it was enough to cause headaches.
Therefore, when they encountered such a situation again, Ye Tiancheng and the others simply handed over the clues to one of the parties involved, Ye Wuji, and relied on his intuition.
At least now that there was a central figure, following the central figure would not lead to major problems, and finding clues would not be so difficult.
At the very least, this way, they wouldn't be wandering around like headless flies due to a lack of clues.
Ye Tiancheng and the others let Ye Wuji choose where he wanted to go. Ye Wuji pondered for a long time, and even though he knew it was fake, he still wanted to go home and see.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had no objections to Ye Wuji's idea and fully supported it. If there were any clues to be found, it was obvious that the more closely related to Ye Wuji a place was, the more clues and information there would be.
Therefore, in this situation, Ye Wuji's former home would obviously be a very important place.
After discussing this matter, Ye Wuji led the way for Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Perhaps because he thought of going home, even if it was just a fake home, Ye Wuji suddenly felt a little elated. He flapped his wings and flew directly in a certain direction.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox quickly followed behind Ye Wuji.
As they ventured deeper into the village, they could see signs of human activity. They could even see villagers working in the fields.
Some villagers saw Ye Tiancheng and the others entering the village and, knowing they were strangers, curiously asked them a few questions.
Ye Tiancheng and the others made an excuse, saying they had distant relatives who were said to be living there, and they had come to find them for some business.
When the villagers heard this, they asked Ye Tiancheng and the others if they needed help with directions.
At such times, Ye Wuji would usually retract his wings, stop casually on a tree, a rock, or some other spot, and not make any sound.
In such a village, there were naturally many wild birds, and no villagers would find Ye Wuji's presence there strange. The black bird's appearance was not conspicuous, and it could even be said that these villagers would not associate the black bird with Ye Tiancheng and the others.
What was strange about birds flying everywhere?
After all, Ye Tiancheng and the others would not communicate with Ye Wuji in such a situation.
Therefore, no villagers would think that the black bird was anything special.
The reason for Ye Wuji's attitude was obviously because he originally thought he would never see his acquaintances again, but upon entering the village and seeing some villagers, Ye Wuji saw some familiar faces.
At such times, he was less inclined to interact with them.
It was fortunate that he did not have to reveal his human form, so he did not have to worry about being discovered and causing any trouble.
However, regarding going home, Ye Wuji became even more expectant.
Ye Wuji thought that since these people could appear, then from another perspective, perhaps he could see his family again in this place.
It was for this reason that he wanted to go home.
If he saw an empty, abandoned, and dusty home from his memories, perhaps his mood would be even more melancholic. However, if he could see familiar family members inside, even if it would be sad, it would be slightly better.
Ye Wuji stood quietly, these thoughts flashing through his mind.
Ye Tiancheng and the others interacted with the villagers, using the excuse of looking for distant relatives to deceive them. If the villagers offered to lead the way, they would decline, saying they had already contacted them, and then vaguely point in a few directions, stating the name of that household.
This was as simple as directly stating the names of Ye Wuji's family members.
When the villagers heard Ye Tiancheng's explanation and confirmed that Ye Tiancheng knew the way, they said no more and did not insist.
They were also being kind, worried that Ye Tiancheng might get lost, so they proactively offered to guide him.
If the person did not need it, then there was naturally no need to force help upon them.
All in all, it was quite hassle-free.
If they had not known Ye Wuji's past experiences, anyone who saw such a group of villagers would not have thought that they were the kind of people who had taken lives.
Perhaps it could only be said that ignorance and foolishness harmed people.
No one could be blamed.
