Ji Youcheng and Ji Youze opened their mouths in unison and said together, "You too..."
The rest of their words were swallowed down.
Ji Youzhi furrowed his brows. "Have you guys been having the same dream?"
CREAK. The door to Old Lady Ji’s room opened. Everyone turned to look in her direction and saw her heading towards Ji Youran’s room with a grave expression.
Ji Youcheng’s face changed dramatically. "What just happened wasn’t a dream!"
Ji Youze and Ji Youzhi: "..."
The three brothers, realizing this, quickly ran towards Ji Youran’s room.
In Ji Youran’s room, Old Lady Ji sat by Ji Youran’s bed, looking at the man with a pallid complexion, devoid of any vitality. A sudden urge to cry surged through her.
How could my second son, with his accursed luck, be so unfortunate? Her sons were not supposed to be involved today. It was she who wanted Xing’Er to enter Suisui’s Dream Realm, and that was why Suisui had led them to the Lotus Pond. It was all her fault; she had harmed her second son.
"My dear second son!" she lamented. "I have wronged you. This accursed luck of yours, how could it make you so unfortunate! Today should have had nothing to do with you. Alas, it’s all my fault for turning you into a fool."
Ji Youcheng and his brothers arrived just in time to hear Old Lady Ji’s heartfelt soliloquy to Ji Youran.
It was then that they realized that what they had just experienced was not a dream. No, it *was* all a dream, but everything that happened in the dream was real!
It was their second brother’s accursed luck that made him jump into the Lotus Pond the instant he saw it. To their shock, the bottom of the pond connected to the Wangchuan River. Hence, the water in the pond was also the Water of the River of Oblivion.
Now, their second brother’s soul was damaged. Once he woke up, there was a high likelihood that he would become a fool.
"Mother!"
The three Ji brothers walked in together. Standing by Ji Youran’s bed, their faces were heavy with worry.
Old Lady Ji glanced at them and instructed, "What just happened must not be spoken to others."
The Ji brothers all nodded. They were not fools. A Divine Artifact capable of connecting to the Wangchuan River, named the ’Soul-Calling Bell’—the implications were self-evident!
No wonder Suisui didn’t allow others to kneel to her. No wonder she possessed the supreme power for her words to manifest as reality.
The Buddhist faith only knew that she could communicate with heaven and earth and summon all things, so they aggressively pushed for Suisui to become a nun. But if they were to later discover that Suisui possessed a Divine Artifact that could lead to the Wangchuan River...
Heavens! They didn’t dare to imagine it.
"Search your second brother," Old Lady Ji said. "See if he has a pouch containing Xing’Er’s hair on him."
Ji Youcheng quickly began searching Ji Youran and eventually found an embroidered lotus pouch tucked inside his sleeve. The design of the lotus on the pouch struck him as vaguely familiar.
"Give it to me."
When Old Lady Ji saw Ji Youcheng find the pouch on Ji Youran, she told him to give it to her.
"Here," Ji Youcheng said, handing it over. His brow furrowed as he became lost in thought about the lotus pattern on the pouch, not noticing what Old Lady Ji had said.
"You all stay here and take good care of your second brother. I’m going to find Suisui!"
With these words, Old Lady Ji returned to her room. Lying in bed and feigning sleep, she called out to Suisui in her heart.
Soon, she appeared next to the Lotus Pond again.
"Grandmother, did you find Second Aunt’s hair?" Suisui asked.
Old Lady Ji nodded. "I found it!"
She took out a pouch and handed it to Suisui, along with a square handkerchief.
"This is the handkerchief your eldest uncle used when he was a child!"
The little handkerchief, washed to a pale white, looked like what he used to wrap his hair when he was young.
"Alright, Grandmother. Please wait a moment. I’ll bring Eldest Uncle and Second Aunt in to discuss this!"
