Ye Tiancheng did not expose anything, as he could tell that Ye Wuji still held fond impressions of his parents.
If Ye Wuji chose to believe this, Ye Tiancheng would not say much even if unpleasant things happened later, nor would he let Ye Wuji know about those cruel matters. If Ye Wuji later understood more, his mindset would likely be very different by then.
At that time, there would be no need to worry about Ye Wuji being struck by any blows or suffering any negative impacts from these events.
Ye Tiancheng was quite fond of children.
Although Ye Wuji should have existed for a long time, his personality and appearance made it difficult for anyone to treat him as an adult.
Furthermore, Ye Wuji himself was not mature enough in his mindset.
He was still quite childlike in nature.
If he were an adult, Ye Wuji might not have done many of the things he did, but conversely, Ye Tiancheng and the others would not have trusted him as much.
These matters were all relative.
The little fox followed Ye Tiancheng and the others, overhearing the entire process, and only then remembered this matter. However, it wasn't that Ye Tiancheng deliberately didn't tell the little fox, causing her to discover it only now.
It was simply that Ye Tiancheng had thought of this matter at the time.
Later, because he was busy with other things, Ye Tiancheng put it out of his mind and forgot all about it, thus not informing the little fox.
However, because of Ye Tiancheng's words, even the little fox would have thought that Ye Tiancheng had suddenly remembered some things only after arriving at this ancestral hall, rather than having thought of it before and kept it hidden.
It had to be said that in these aspects, Ye Tiancheng's impression on everyone was quite good.
The matters in the ancestral hall had come to a temporary end. Ye Tiancheng then looked around the ancestral hall again, trying to find the whereabouts of the Fuxi Qin fragments. However, at this moment, the aura of the Fuxi Qin in the ancestral hall was still at the entrance of Xiaojing City.
Ye Tiancheng vaguely had some ideas.
Perhaps the Fuxi Qin fragments were in Xiaojing City.
If the Fuxi Qin fragments were hidden in this place, it would indeed be relatively safe. He just didn't know how many fragments were in this underwater space. If he took the Fuxi Qin fragments from Xiaojing City, would there be any other fragments remaining here?
After resolving the matters in Xiaojing City and the little fox's soul problem, Ye Tiancheng would remember to confirm this place several times.
In fact, Ye Tiancheng was very curious about this underwater space, the Zeng family's ancestral hall, and the Lin family's story. He felt that these matters should be related, but he didn't know what the clue connecting them was.
However, Ye Tiancheng also believed that as long as he continued to investigate, everything would eventually come to light.
Moreover, with the cooperation of Nie Chongyang and others, investigating these matters in reality, they would surely be able to find out everything they wanted to know in the end.
After all, there was a conspiracy hidden behind this.
They had to find out.
Anything that could threaten the real world absolutely could not be taken lightly.
The environment they depended on for survival absolutely could not be destroyed by conspirators.
In fact, Ye Tiancheng was more worried that the conspiracy behind this was also related to the Fuxi Qin. If that were the case, the consequences would be even more serious, which Ye Tiancheng did not wish for.
The situation could not be allowed to worsen.
But he could only hold onto hope and did not dare to guarantee that everything would go as he wished.
In any case, the three people standing in the ancestral hall each had their own thoughts.
However, none of them harbored any ill intentions.
After thoroughly confirming, Ye Tiancheng had nothing else to investigate in the ancestral hall for the time being. He finally took the little fox and Ye Wuji with him and returned to Xiaojing City once more.
However, upon returning to Xiaojing City this time, Ye Tiancheng and the others discovered that Xiaojing City, as they saw it, had quietly changed again.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox felt that the scene before them was unfamiliar.
In any case, neither Ye Tiancheng nor the little fox had ever seen such a scene, so it was possible that this scene was related to Ye Wuji's memory.
When Ye Wuji first appeared here, he looked around somewhat blankly.
This was because Ye Wuji remembered that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had told him that they were going back to the previous Xiaojing City. Although Ye Wuji had not stayed in Xiaojing City for long, he had been there.
He had been brought there by Ye Tiancheng and the others.
Therefore, seeing the scene before him, Ye Wuji was very confused.
After all, this place was completely different from the Xiaojing City he knew before.
Ye Wuji hesitantly asked Ye Tiancheng, "Didn't we say we were going back to the previous place? Where is this? It's so strange, did we take the wrong way?"
Hearing Ye Wuji's question, Ye Tiancheng explained to him, "I didn't have time to tell you before, because we didn't plan to stay here for long. Now I can tell you."
"This place is called Xiaojing City."
"Xiaojing City is a very special place. Xiaojing City in everyone's eyes should actually be different. If we really entered separately, Xiaojing City in the eyes of the three of us would not be the same."
"But if several people enter as a team, a special situation will occur."
"The Xiaojing City we see is likely a fusion of our perception of the world, or the world in our memories, or a combination of all of us."
"This place is unfamiliar to both the little fox and me. We haven't been to such a place, so the little fox and I believe that this should be a place you've been to, Ye Wuji. So, think about it, do you have any impression of this place?"
Ye Wuji's expression was somewhat hesitant.
He said, "But I... I haven't been anywhere?"
Ye Tiancheng reminded Ye Wuji, "Is it possible that this is what your former village looked like?"
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say this, Ye Wuji's eyes widened slightly.
He quickly looked around the surrounding scenery, but for now, he couldn't recall anything. After all, too much time had passed, and Ye Wuji really couldn't remember many things clearly.
After looking around, Ye Wuji said hesitantly, "But I also feel very unfamiliar. I don't know if it's because I've been away for too long and don't have much impression of my hometown, or if it's for some other reason."
After thinking, Ye Tiancheng still believed that they wouldn't inexplicably come to a strange place, so there must be a reason. Therefore, he told Ye Wuji not to worry. If he didn't recognize it, they could just walk around casually.
This place was quite desolate, with no signs of human habitation. Many mountains, flowers, plants, and trees could be seen, and there were hardly any roads.
It could only be said that some traces of human footsteps could be seen.
There is a saying that goes well, "There were no roads in the world to begin with, but when more people walked them, roads came into being."
It was probably the same principle.
Ye Tiancheng felt that since there were traces of human footsteps here, and these footsteps had created something like a road, then following this trodden path might lead them to signs of human habitation.
Ye Tiancheng was also not entirely sure which direction was the correct one.
He could only randomly choose a direction and lead the little fox and Ye Wuji along. Since Ye Wuji was in the form of a child, walking in such a place was somewhat inconvenient.
After all, children have very little stamina and cannot walk fast. They can't even walk well on flat ground, let alone mountain paths.
Therefore, Ye Wuji simply transformed into the appearance of a black bird and followed Ye Tiancheng and the others. This way, it was much more convenient.
Since Ye Wuji had gained the form of a bird, he might not have felt it much when he was imprisoned before, but after acting with Ye Tiancheng and the others for some time, Ye Wuji felt that the human form had its advantages, and the bird form also had its advantages.
Of course, perhaps it was also because Ye Wuji's human form was that of a child, so it was always less convenient for Ye Wuji to transform into a child.
Children could do very little.
Ye Wuji's transformation into a black bird indeed reduced a lot of pressure for Ye Tiancheng and the others, and it also saved some time.
Moreover, they didn't know what they would encounter in places with human habitation. If what appeared turned out to be the village where Ye Wuji had lived, and if there were phantoms of people from that time, and if those people saw Ye Wuji, it would really not be a good thing.
But if Ye Wuji transformed into a bird, it would be much better.
Even if there were phantoms of people who had lived in that village, those people would likely not recognize Ye Wuji if they saw him.
Although it wouldn't matter even if they could recognize him.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox would always protect Ye Wuji.
However, it was better to avoid trouble if possible. It was better to be safe than sorry.
After walking for some time, Ye Tiancheng and the others vaguely saw the shadow of a village.
It was at this moment that Ye Wuji finally had some reaction.
The scene before him finally matched the village in his memory.
Ye Wuji couldn't say whether he was scared or not; he was somewhat unable to express his emotions, which were quite complex.
He told Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, "Here... this is indeed the village where I lived. I have an impression now that I've reached this place. I used to come here more often. This is the village entrance, where many children used to come and play."
Hearing Ye Wuji say this, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were relieved.
It seemed that this was not an accident, but a normal situation.
They just didn't know what they would encounter this time.
Ye Tiancheng thought for a moment and did not rush to move forward. He asked Ye Wuji, "We might need to enter this village later. Wuji, will you feel pressured and not want to go back? If you can't accept it, we can find a place on the outskirts to set up tents and camp. If necessary, we can enter the village to search for clues."
"Don't force yourself. Just say what you think."
Although Ye Tiancheng said this, Ye Wuji did not want to cause too much trouble for Ye Tiancheng and the little fox at all.
Therefore, despite being very nervous, Ye Wuji still replied to Ye Tiancheng, "I can do it. It's fine. Let's go into the village. Perhaps I can help with something once we're in the village, although there are some things I really can't remember clearly."
