It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Su Chen sighed and put the invitation away.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a noise behind them; Hua Jingyun had returned sometime earlier.

Su Chen was speechless.

But seeing Hua Jingyun holding the same invitation, Su Chen felt a mix of emotions.

Could it be that I'm overthinking things?

Was he just a bystander?

What Su Chen didn't notice was that Jin Bufan hadn't gone far; instead, he was hiding in the crowd, carefully observing him.

Three nights ago, the red feathers bloomed in every corner of the capital.

All individuals suspected of being Lord Pei have had their movements confirmed.

Su Chen's whereabouts, however, remain unconfirmed.

According to common sense, it would be impossible to mark hundreds of locations simultaneously.

But if that's Lord Pei, then nothing is impossible.

With the appearance of the Crimson Feather, the Imperial Capital is at peace.

This time, Jin Bufan truly believed that Lord Pei might have already returned.

After receiving the invitation, Su Chen's enthusiasm for shopping plummeted.

Last time Jiang Li returned empty-handed, and this time she's coming for me again.

Once they meet, there will inevitably be some probing.

Moreover, Su Chen had a premonition that Jiang Li must have come prepared.

As the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle, the city lights begin to illuminate the night.

The entire capital city has been completely transformed.

Everywhere you look, there are colorful lights that make you want to linger.

The number of people admiring the lanterns was countless, and every street was bustling with people.

The grand festival seemed to have dispelled the gloom of three days ago.

Su Chen carried the items he had casually taken from the Xin family's shop.

As for what was inside the small bag, Su Chen didn't even bother to find out. Since he was already prepared to be kicked out, it didn't matter what kind of gift he prepared.

Su Chen led Hua Jingyun on a leisurely stroll to the place where Jiang Li held her banquet.

Originally, Jiang Li was supposed to drink with the court officials tonight, and then appear on the city gate tower at an auspicious time to celebrate with the people.

However, now that the invitation has been delivered to me...

Either Jiang Li didn't go to the court officials' meeting at all, or a stand-in took her place.

"Why does this road seem more and more familiar the longer I walk down it?"

Su Chen stared at the address on the invitation and followed the path to the location. After turning a corner, he suddenly realized that everything around him seemed so familiar.

"The Pei residence?"

Although the surname of the residence on the invitation is different, the end of this road is clearly the location where the Pei residence was back then.

Now that I think about it carefully, the surnames on these seem to be the surnames that the Pei family changed when they went out to seek refuge.

"It's okay, he is him, and I am me."

It's just that I possess his memories.

Not a big problem. "

As Su Chen and his companion presented their invitations, they were led into the mansion by the guards.

Su Chen then realized that the Pei residence in front of him was almost exactly the same as the one in the game more than 20 years ago, with not even a single flower or blade of grass changed!

That long-lost feeling suddenly welled up in Su Chen's heart.

Even though Su Chen knew in his heart that now was not the time to be sentimental, his memories were too powerful, and some emotions still inadvertently surfaced.

Hua Jingyun, who was following behind Su Chen, could sense his emotional fluctuations.

All of this left Hua Jingyun somewhat confused.

If his judgment was correct, Su Chen's soul was indeed his master's.

Why then did he express such sorrow after entering this mansion?

They even carefully covered it up.

Hua Jingyun once asked Jin Bufan for a record of her life with Pei Yichen.

This mansion was once the Pei residence.

Su Chen's behavior was more like that of an old friend revisiting a familiar place than a passing tourist.

Even though he was trying his best to show his amazement at entering for the first time, the details hidden in his exaggerated performance revealed a lot of information.

What exactly is the relationship between Su Chen and Pei Yichen?

If he is Pei Yichen, then why does he exhibit some of his master's characteristics?

Is it really a symbiotic relationship between souls?

Or is there some connection hidden in this that you can't even realize?

For a moment, Hua Jingyun's mind was in turmoil.

Su Chen exhibited too many things that she couldn't understand.

Hua Jingyun wanted to ask directly, but Su Chen's actions all indicated one thing.

He won't cooperate.

Only by finding real evidence can he force Su Chen to reveal the truth of the matter.

"Master."

Last time, you took it upon yourself to perish together with the cult leader, leaving me alone in this world.

Do you want to do it again this time?

I will definitely find out the truth you are hiding.

This time, it's my turn to stand in front of you!

Chapter 114 Do you think he is, or he isn't?

What Su Chen didn't expect was that his attempts to conceal the truth and his inability to speak about it led Hua Jingyun to mistakenly believe that he might have encountered something similar to what happened a thousand years ago.

Everything inside the Pei residence seemed unchanged.

It's still the same as I remember it.

Despite Jiang Li's formal banquet, no other guests could be seen inside the Pei residence.

Su Chen had a premonition.

This dinner is unlikely to be very pleasant; Jiang Li will probably use this opportunity to test the waters.

Su Chen and his companion followed the guards and stepped into the main hall.

Su Chen then saw everything clearly in the hall.

Bright candlelight, a family reunion dinner table, and several sets of bowls and chopsticks already set out.

Su Chen had already guessed Jiang Li's intention.

Sure enough, as the figures behind the screen moved about, several familiar people appeared in front of Su Chen.

"You probably won't mind that I invited other people, right?"

Jiang Li looked at Su Chen with a smile, her gaze fixed on Su Chen's reaction.

Unfortunately, the outcome did not seem to be what she had hoped for.

Su Chen acted as if he didn't recognize the Pei family members, simply bowing respectfully and responding with a salutation.

"I am just a guest, so I will follow the host's lead."

However, tonight's event looks like a family dinner.

"Is it inappropriate for me to be here?"

There's nothing inappropriate about it.

Besides, who told you this was a family dinner?

It was just an ordinary dinner party.

"Please take a seat."

As Jiang Li spoke softly, Su Chen silently walked to the lower part of the table, which was closer to the door.

Jiang Li has already invited Pei Yichen's family here, so how could she possibly let Su Chen off so easily?

"You are a distinguished guest tonight, so it is not appropriate for you to sit in that seat."

"Please sit here."

"Isn't this... bad?"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment.

The invitation was personally delivered by Jin Bufan.

Any normal person, after a little thought, would not have difficulty guessing Jiang Li's identity.

Su Chen wanted to act as if he revered the emperor, but unfortunately the timing seemed off.

"Nothing bad."

Su Chen was ultimately no match for Jiang Li. If he didn't want to turn against her, he would have to obediently go through with it.

After Su Chen sat down, Pei Yichen's parents sat down on either side of him, followed by his second uncle.
