After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 878 What goes around comes around; one night inside the gate equals a month outside.

My wrist, which was halfway turned over, was suddenly grabbed.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Hanying patted her cheap master's hand with her other hand to signal him to let go, lowered her eyes without looking into his eyes, and insisted, "I just want to do it this way."

The hand clamping on the wrist tightened again, then slowly loosened after a few seconds.

Jiang Hanying continued what she had been doing.

He lifted one side of his shirt, revealing a small patch of skin on his abdomen beneath his pajamas, and pressed down on the small, bluish-gold stone in his palm without hesitation.

Originally an extremely hard stone, it seeped into flesh and blood without hindrance and disappeared in the palm of the hand with the owner's permission.

Li Chengxiao glanced at her now empty palm, quickly squatted down to examine it carefully, and then pressed it with his hand. "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Hanying smiled at him easily, "It doesn't hurt."

Li Chengxiao stared at the small patch of skin that hadn't changed after a small stone had been inserted, and couldn't help but sigh silently.

Jiang Hanying pulled him up. "I know what you're worried about. Even if this is his last scheme, I'll accept it."

The unwritten rule of the underworld: what goes around comes around!

After saying that, he covered his mouth and yawned.

"Sleepy?"

"Kind of."

Li Chengxiao patted her head and said, "Go back and rest."

Having done everything I should and shouldn't have done on this trip, there's not much to say; I can only be more careful in the future.

"Okay, be careful."

Jiang Hanying left without hesitation. Thinking that her continued presence would prevent her cheap owner from meeting up with the team members, she simply waved and turned around to return to the dormitory via the roundabout.

Li Chengxiao: His coat!

never mind!

When Jiang Hanying was about to crawl back into bed, she realized that she had also put on her cheap owner's coat.

Although her mind was still thinking about getting up and hiding her coat so that Pei Yuan wouldn't see it first thing in the morning, her body had already honestly tossed it towards the chair opposite her, and she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

A faint bluish light flashed under the covers on his lower abdomen.

*
Li Chengxiao, who was still inside the door, definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.

First, we met up with the team members on the other rocks. After a brief exchange of information, we needed to figure out how to contact the others.

Then, step by step, they were guided to understand the true nature of the inner world and their current predicament. They then gathered together to discuss how to deal with it, suppress it, or even seal it. Only when they finally found a way out could they see the light of day again.

Truly, it has seen the light of day again.

Because it was already daylight outside!
They thought they had only spent one night inside the gate, but when the rest of the group returned to the camp below the mountain pass, weary from their journey, and met up with the people guarding the camp, they learned that almost a month had passed in the outside world.

If it weren't for the fact that the heart rate and blood oxygen monitors worn by the Skywalker team members showed that everything was normal, the main force would have already come to their aid.

Feng Buyi, carrying his peach wood sword, walked to the entrance of the Skywalker Squad's tent and called out, "Captain Li!"

Li Chengxiao, who was being examined by the doctor on his arm, looked up when he heard the voice and said, "Come in."

Feng Buyi stepped into the tent and finally stopped in front of Li Chengxiao. "I've come to say goodbye. I've been away from home for so long, and I miss my grandfather."

"Okay, be careful on the road. And, sorry."

Feng Buyi hurriedly shook his head, but when he met Captain Li's eyes, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes suddenly reddened. "I... I just realized why Grandpa insisted that I take the little ancestor's heirloom with me before I left. I couldn't take it back with me, I'm so sad, waah!"

The doctor, who was applying medicine to the wound on the arm, was so startled by the crying that he almost dropped the tweezers in his hand. When he turned around, he saw Feng Buyi crying so hard that she was completely disheveled.

"team leader?"

"Feng Buyi's peach wood sword completed the final seal on the gate."

"But this is still..."

At Li Chengxiao's prompting glance, the doctor silently swallowed his doubts. The peach wood sword was indeed still there, but the nascent sword spirit within it remained.

Without the sword spirit, the peach wood sword... He could completely understand how heartbroken Feng Buyi was right now.

Moreover, he also knew that this little sword spirit was his own newly recruited little brother. What should he say when he met him later?
No, he felt like crying too!

Feng Buyi cried through half a pack of tissues in one go, but when she saw someone else coming to say goodbye to Captain Li outside the tent, she covered her eyes and got up to leave, still sobbing.

I may be heartbroken, but I still have to save face.

The representative who came to say goodbye this time was Master Zhang.

Those inside the gate also suffered losses.

Some succumb to greed and are assimilated into monsters before they are even found, while others get lost in it and never find their way back.

Even Master Zhang was almost captivated by the so-called extraordinary abilities and considered staying to continue his study. Fortunately, Li Chengxiao, who had regained all his memories, enlightened him with a single sentence.

In the end, those who manage to emerge from the door are either those who have attachments to the people or things outside, or those who are able to hold fast to their original intentions.

As for the others, they were all left inside forever.

After seeing off the people who came to say goodbye, Li Chengxiao closed the tent door, drank an entire bottle of water in one gulp, and collapsed onto the makeshift cot.

The moment I closed my eyes, I was pulled into the spiritual space.

A hurried figure rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

While thoroughly touching the person's entire body, Jiang Hanying asked anxiously, "Why have you been inside for so long? Hmm? The injury on your arm hasn't healed yet?"

"We all thought we were only inside for one night."

"Time flows at different speeds?"

"Perhaps, the world inside the door is inherently chaotic, causing our perception of time to become confused as well."

"Have all the potential risks been resolved?"

"Ah."

Jiang Hanying breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up suspiciously, "Your heart is suddenly beating a little fast. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Li Chengxiao: "..."

Are those ears really that sensitive?!

"Indeed, the spirit of the peach wood sword remained as a seal."

Jiang Hanying paused on her cheap owner's arm. "Erase his mind?"

"It wasn't there when we came out, and it might not be in the future."

After all, if a newborn sword spirit is likened to an infant, without an energy supply and without anyone to teach and communicate with it, its consciousness will inevitably decline or even completely dissipate.

This is the power of time.

"I've only just taken in this little brother! By the way, where's his stupid owner?"

"She ran up to me and cried her heart out before she left."

Jiang Hanying thought for a moment and looked up, "Are you also getting ready to leave?"

"Yes, they're already packing up. Are you still filming at Lake Seran?"

“We moved to the mountains in the south to film half a month ago. We only have a few days left to finish filming. You can go back to Beijing now.”

"Okay." Li Chengxiao nodded, his gaze shifting downwards to Jiang Hanying's stomach. "This past month, your stomach..."

Jiang Hanying patted the table with her hand, the sound of her hand hitting the table loudly after she had finished eating, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Li Chengxiao quickly grabbed her hand, "Mmm, no need to film anymore."

Jiang Hanying opened her eyes, raised her hand to remove the thin coat covering her face, and saw Yuan Chaoyu, who had been arranged to rest in the same tent as her, looking at her with a serious expression.

She continued to lie there lazily, her hands behind her head. "What kind of naughty thing do you want to do while I'm sleeping?"

Yuan Chaoyu's serious expression was immediately replaced by speechlessness. She rolled her eyes noticeably, letting the girl figure it out herself, but her tone was still somewhat grave: "Don't you feel unusually sleepy these past two weeks? I suggest you go to a nearby hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."
