The man quickly left the palace, while the actors on the stage continued to sing softly, not stopping for a moment because of the man's departure.
"Who are you, and why do you have this Jade Pendant in your hand?" the man demanded loudly, holding up the Jade Pendant as the guards pointed their long spears in unison at Wang Ran and Chu Yi.
Wang Ran unraveled the layers of gauze from his face. The man's eyes instantly lit up with joy, and he embraced Wang Ran in a tight hug.
"Brother Wang! What on earth happened that we lost all communication for over a decade?"
Seeing the two men so familiar with each other, Chu Yi immediately felt bewildered. Were they old acquaintances?
"It's a long story. Why don't we sit down and talk about it in detail?" Wang Ran said calmly.
Chu Yi looked at the two men interacting so familiarly and furrowed his brows.
He did not understand how there could be an ancient city beneath Canglang Island.
Could this truly be the Illusory Realm?
