It was quite apparent that Ye Wuji had not encountered the young man in black robes within the tomb.
Otherwise, even if the young man in black robes hadn't laid a hand on Ye Wuji, Ye Wuji wouldn't have been able to tolerate it.
Therefore, the possibility that Ye Wuji had met the young man in black robes at home was quite high, and on this point, Ye Wuji likely hadn't lied.
If there was anything to say about Ye Wuji concealing something.
It could only be that if Ye Wuji concealed something, it was merely that he hadn't spoken those things aloud. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any other significant issues.
Ye Wuji had only revealed the parts he wished to speak; the parts he didn't want to, he simply hadn't mentioned.
Ye Tiancheng understood this and thus ruled out the suspect of the young man in black robes.
Of course, there was also a very obvious and very important piece of evidence to support these deductions.
That is, whether Ye Wuji had suffered ill-treatment in the tomb before. Therefore, even if he harbored immense hatred for his abuser, upon actually seeing them, Ye Wuji couldn't have remained without any reaction.
He couldn't have been without fear.
Ye Tiancheng was very clear about this, which was why he was so certain.
After much deliberation, Ye Tiancheng also considered many things. Then, Ye Tiancheng finally made up his mind, deciding that for Ye Wuji's sake, he could not act against Ye Wuji's biological mother.
However, the state of Ye Wuji's biological mother was indeed very curious.
Why she had become this way, and how exactly she had arrived here, Ye Tiancheng and the others were clearly quite interested.
And Ye Wuji himself clearly cared a great deal.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tiancheng said to Bai Long, "This is truly unfortunate. If what you say is true, then this woman here is likely Wuji's biological mother."
"In this situation, it would be inappropriate for us to conduct a transaction with her."
"Therefore, thank you for guiding us this time, but let's put in a bit more effort and find another target."
Bai Long had not expected Ye Tiancheng to say this.
This was mainly because Bai Long hadn't known that Ye Wuji was this woman's biological son, which had greatly shocked Bai Long.
However, after thinking about it, Bai Long also fully understood Ye Tiancheng's thoughts.
Therefore, after Ye Tiancheng proposed his idea, Bai Long said nothing and began to consider other places where they could go together to find someone else who met the criteria.
But during this process, something else happened that Ye Tiancheng did not anticipate.
Upon learning that the woman here was likely his biological mother, Ye Wuji changed his mind once again.
Originally, Ye Tiancheng had given up and decided not to do such a thing to his companion's mother, but Ye Wuji proactively said to Ye Tiancheng, "Big Brother, I understand what you mean, but I think perhaps we don't need to change targets, and it's fine."
Ye Tiancheng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Ye Wuji to suddenly say such a thing.
Because, in Ye Tiancheng's impression, Ye Wuji clearly cared a great deal about his mother.
In this situation, Ye Wuji shouldn't want someone to take away his mother's soul fragment, right?
Ye Tiancheng thought this to himself and cast a questioning gaze at Ye Wuji.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tiancheng said to Ye Wuji, "Wuji, listen to me. Although collecting soul fragments is a very important matter for us, there are also some bottom lines that cannot be crossed."
"And, that is your mother."
"I remember, Wuji, you care very much about your mother, don't you? Then, as your companions, how can we make this transaction with your mother?"
However, what Ye Tiancheng found even more unexpected was that after he finished speaking, Ye Wuji said something else.
Ye Wuji said, "Big Brother, I understand your good intentions, but the reason I say this is actually out of selfishness."
Ye Tiancheng was slightly stunned.
If this was considered selfishness, then whose selfishness was Ye Wuji leaning towards? What exactly was Ye Wuji thinking?
As Ye Tiancheng pondered, he also voiced his questions.
When Ye Wuji heard Ye Tiancheng's question, he said softly, "Actually, my mother appearing here, and already in the form of a soul, means that my mother must not have been resting well before."
"She must have been trapped in this place by some obsession, right?"
"If we don't help her, will she never be able to find release?"
Ye Wuji said this and shook his head slightly.
Ye Wuji continued, "I am very grateful that Big Brother is willing to consider me, but I hope my mother can receive your help and be freed from this. If it can be done, even if it requires some price, it would be good."
Ye Tiancheng was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Wuji say this, and finally understood.
The reason Ye Wuji spoke like this and made the choice he did was mainly because Ye Wuji cared too much about his mother, and therefore, he couldn't bear to see his mother trapped in such a state.
He would rather pay a price than see his mother bound by the past, hoping for a better future.
As for Ye Wuji himself.
One part of the reason Ye Wuji said this was also because Ye Wuji had a premonition that his mother becoming this way might have something to do with him.
Although Ye Wuji looked very young, he only appeared young.
Even though he was confined, Ye Wuji had actually lived for many years.
His mind couldn't have failed to grow.
It could only be said that Ye Wuji's appearance was indeed very deceptive because of this.
This might not have been intentional on Ye Wuji's part, but the final outcome was clearly this.
It was truly helpless.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tiancheng said, "So that's how it is. Since you think this way, I understand that you want the best for your mother. If that's the case, we are willing to help you. After all, you are now following us and are our companion."
"In this situation, we are family, and there's no need to be so distant or polite."
"Therefore, when helping our own family, why would we ask for a price? We can stay and see what the situation is with your mother, but don't mention the price again."
Ye Wuji became a little anxious and stammered when he heard Ye Tiancheng say this.
"But, but Brother Fox he..."
After all, they had known each other for so long, and Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox had treated Ye Wuji very well. Therefore, upon hearing this news, Ye Wuji, in his heart, also hoped that Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox could achieve their desires.
At this moment, Little Fox had to speak up.
Little Fox said from the side, "My matters are indeed very important, but not to the extent that I would demand a price from your biological mother. I don't have the face to make such a request."
"We can help, but don't mention the price again."
Ye Wuji was very anxious.
However, Ye Wuji's own wishes could not outweigh Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox.
Ye Wuji still wanted to argue, but Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox were not cooperating.
This made it difficult for Ye Wuji to say anything further.
Ye Tiancheng and Little Fox actually wished Ye Wuji well.
Considering safety and the inability to tolerate too much overlap, at this point, Ye Tiancheng and his group had no room for pickiness.
To prevent any accidents, Ye Tiancheng used the divine artifact Kunlun Mirror to influence the time in this place to a certain extent.
It was tedious to say that this place was constantly repeating the same day.
If it were to happen like this, when Bai Long truly brought Ye Tiancheng and the others down, the trouble would be immense.
Before they descended and a real overlap occurred, this was the most suitable time to address the issue.
Ye Tiancheng took this opportunity to have Bai Long circle in the sky and not land.
Then, Ye Tiancheng himself first used the divine artifact Kunlun Mirror and attempted to change the time loop in this place. However, changing it was more difficult than Ye Tiancheng and the others had imagined, as the primary entity influencing everything seemed to be Ye Wuji's biological mother on the ground.
After all, this was her domain.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tiancheng adjusted the loop time to seven days later. This was already the greatest effort Ye Tiancheng could manage.
After all, Ye Tiancheng had significant limitations when using the divine artifact Kunlun Mirror.
Ye Tiancheng could only do so much.
After adjusting the time and ensuring they could reach the most suitable position, because if it were still the first day, they would still cause an overlap. It was necessary to ensure time truly reached the second day to avoid any issues.
After ensuring everything was set, Ye Tiancheng then had Bai Long land.
At this moment, the time had just arrived at the early morning of the second day. Ye Tiancheng and the others had originally allocated seven days, but because one day was rendered useless due to repetition, it resulted in Ye Tiancheng and the others wasting one day. The remaining time was only six days.
This was indeed an unexpected development.
However, having six days was still good. It was better than time constantly repeating, as that would have truly left them no room to maneuver.
At this time, Ye Tiancheng and the others were not without a place to go.
They had previously lodged with a neighbor near Ye Wuji's former home.
However, because time began to repeat, after Ye Tiancheng and his group took action, they realized they had to hurry and leave as soon as possible, and therefore, they never returned there.
In this situation, Ye Tiancheng and the others hadn't thought much about it.
But now, in order to help Ye Wuji's mother, they needed a suitable identity to return to the village. Therefore, going to the neighbor's house of Ye Wuji's former home and maintaining the status of staying there was the most appropriate.
Ye Tiancheng and the others were able to settle in there very smoothly.
It was just that Bai Long presented a bit of a problem.
Bai Long could not shrink, and this created a certain difficulty.
