Hu Jiulang was silent for a while, and then he said:

"In the Yinchen Pavilion, I was trapped by the illusion of the pavilion master. In the illusion, there was you."

Yang Tong was stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said:

"Illusion? I'm in it? What happened?"

Hu Jiulang slowly told Yang Tong the scenes in the fantasy one by one.

The antique courtyard, the two people in ancient costumes, the tenderness of getting along day and night, and the bone-chilling betrayal at the gate of the city.

He spoke very calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story, but only he knew that when he said these words, the thorn in his heart began to hurt again.

Yang Tong listened quietly, the expression on her face gradually changed from surprise to complexity. She looked at Hu Jiulang, seeing the sourness and doubt in his eyes, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, Hu Jiulang."

Hu Jiulang was stunned. He didn't expect that she would suddenly apologize and said quickly:

"It has nothing to do with you. It's just an illusion. It's a trick deliberately crafted by the people in Yinchen Pavilion. I know it's not true."

Yang Tong shook his head.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be trapped in the illusion, nor would your consciousness be damaged, or even almost do something that violates the taboo."

Hu Jiulang looked at her guilty look and said softly:

"I don't blame you, really. I just feel strange, why did the people in Yinchen Pavilion choose you? You and I just met twice."

Yang Tong stirred the coffee in front of him and said slowly:

"When I was checking information in Bureau 749, I found that the master of Yinchen Pavilion seemed to have had some interactions with our Yang family decades ago, but the specific intersection was not recorded in the information. Maybe he used me to weave illusions for other purposes."

Hu Jiulang frowned.

"Yang family?"

Yang Tong nodded.

"I'm still continuing to investigate this matter. I believe there will be results soon. As for some things about our Yang family, I don't want to talk about it."

"Yeah, but...I always feel like this illusion..."

Hu Jiulang originally wanted to say that this illusion did not seem to be fabricated out of thin air, but in the end he did not say it out loud and said:

"It's a little weird."

Yang Tong was thoughtful.
