"Huh? What do you mean I’m ying with Yu Tian?" Wang Xiuying’s head remained tilted in a puzzled manner.


    "The person I am ying with currently is—"


    Wang Xiuying’s eyes suddenly widened when she realized what Meixiu was trying to tell her.


    She then slowly turned her head to look at Yu Tian, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed with the console on his head.


    Although the console was blocking half of his head, she could still see some resemnce between Yu Tian and Yuan.


    "A-Are you... Are you telling me that Yu Tian is yer Yuan?" Wang Xiuying asked her for confirmation, as she was in disbelief.


    Meixiu nodded silently.


    "So he knew this entire time who I was?" Wang Xiuying mumbled in a low voice.


    To think she’d been ying with her number one idol, Yu Tian, this entire time without being aware! And she even saw his face! What a blunder on her part!

    "Please keep this a secret between us, Wang Xiuying. We cannot risk his identity being leaked outside, hence why he didn’t tell you." Meixiu said to her afterward.


    "D-Don’t worry, I won’t tell a single soul. I promise!" Wang Xiuying quickly said after snapping out of her daze.


    Meixiu nodded, "I trust you."


    "Anyways, now that I know Yu Tian is yer Yuan, I understand why he’s like this." Wang Xiuying said.


    And she continued, "He’s currently in a state of enlightenment, and I was told that he wouldn’t wake up until he finishes."


    "Enlightenment? How long will it take before he wakes up?" Meixiu asked.


    Wang Xiuying sighed and said, "I was told it could take days... even weeks."


    "Weeks?!" Meixiu eximed.


    A few days were already unreasonably long, much less a couple of weeks. Can one even survive that long without eating?


    "Don’t worry, Meixiu. I know what you’re thinking, but there have been plenty of people out there who have remained inside the game for over a week without any problems." Wang Xiuying said to her.


    "Even if you say that, I cannot let him stay inside the game for so long. I don’t want anything to happen to him." Meixiu said, as she couldn’t help but worry about it.


    Wang Xiuying nodded and said, "I think so as well, so let’s give him one or two more days to leave by himself before we forcefully wake him up."


    And she continued, "I will monitor him inside the game and you will monitor him here."


    "Okay." Meixiu nodded.


    Sometimeter, after making sure that Yuan waspletely fine and healthy, Wang Xiuying left the ce and returned home.


    "yer Yuan was Yu Tian all along? I still cannot believe it..." Wang Xiuyingid on her bed and stared at the empty ceiling with a dazed look on her face for a very long time.


    Sometimeter, she entered the game and went to the courtyard behind the Royal Pce, where Yuan was still sitting in the lotus position with his eyes closed. Sitting a few meters away from him was Xi Meili, who was staring at him with a profound expression, her thoughts unknown.


    A few momentster, Wang Xiuying took a seat beside Xi Meili.


    Xi Meili remained still, almost like she didn’t notice Wang Xiuying sitting beside her.


    ’He’s Yu Tian...’ Wang Xiuying thought to herself as she gazed at Yuan’s handsome face.


    After a minute of silence, Xi Meili suddenly said, "I really like him."


    "Huh?" Wang Xiuying turned to look at Xi Meili with a surprised look on her face.


    Xi Meili acted like nothing was out of the ordinary and continued in a calm voice, "He’s the only person that has managed to pique my interest so much. Even now, I cannot take my eyes off him."


    "What about you? Do you like him as much as I do?" Xi Meili suddenly asked, dumbfounding her.


    Wang Xiuying then turned to look at Yuan and spoke with a smile on her face, "I really admire him."


    "Admiration?" Xi Meili finally turned to look at her, as she was surprised by Wang Xiuying’s answer.


    Wang Xiuying nodded and said, "He— at a very young age, was able to impress and influence many people with his talents, and I was one of these people that he’d influenced."


    "His talent, huh? I kind of understand that feeling, as he has also influenced me just by showing off his talents." Xi Meili nodded.


    "Hmm? Wait a second. I thought you didn’t know him, since you said that you’d followed him on a whim." Xi Meili suddenly realized this.


    An awkward smile appeared on Wang Xiuying’s face, and she said, "Well, yeah... That’s what I thought at first, but it appears that I have known him for quite some time now."


    "Sorry, but I don’t understand..." Xi Meili said.


    "It’s fine if you don’t understand since I am also trying to wrap my own head around it."


    The two of them returned to being silent shortly after, and they continued to stare at Yuan with a silent gaze and their own thoughts.


    At the end of the day, right as Wang Xiuying prepared to log off the game, she noticed that the aura around Yuan was beginning to change.


    "What’s happening to him?" She couldn’t help but ask.


    "Unbelievable..."


    However, Xi Meili didn’t respond and only mumbled with a look of disbelief on her face.


    "D-Did something happen?" Wang Xiuying became worried.


    "No... It’s just that... He’s already reaching the end of his enlightenment. At this rate, he’ll finish before sunrise." Xi Meili said in a nervous voice.


    "It’s only been three days since he started his enlightenment for the Dragon’s Gaze, a deeply profound andplex technique for dragons, and he’s already reaching the end. I can only describe hisprehension talents as god-like..."


    "Forparison, when I had an enlightenment of the technique, it took me three months to finish my enlightenment."


    "T-Three months?!" Wang Xiuying looked at her with wide eyes, as she cannot imagine anyone sitting there without moving for so long.
