“Mother! Don't go!”
Luo Qingyu bolted upright from the bed, her head spinning.
Ming Xuan, Ye Qiao, and Mu Zhongxi were gathered around the bedside, looking at her anxiously.
Massaging her throbbing temples, Luo Qingyu asked blankly, “Why are you all crowding around me?”
Xue Yu took half a step forward, concern written all over his face. “Fourth Junior Brother, how are you feeling right now?”
Luo Qingyu frowned in confusion. “Didn't I just test out a spiritual tool? What could possibly go wrong?”
Ming Xuan gently waved his folding fan and said unhurriedly, “Don't you know? You've been asleep for a full two shichen. If Junior Brother hadn't given you a kick just now, you probably wouldn't even be awake yet.”
Luo Qingyu was taken aback, and a surge of anger immediately flared up within her. No wonder she felt a throbbing pain in her calf when she sat up; someone had actually kicked her.
Luo Qingyu's gaze locked directly onto Mu Zhongxi, who was standing nearby.
Mu Zhongxi waved his hands in a panic and defended himself, “Fourth Senior Brother, it wasn't me! Junior Sister said a few kicks would wake you up!”
Beside him, Ye Qiao's eyes widened instantly. She glared at him in a huff, her eyes filled with accusation.
“Wow, Fifth Senior Brother! Are we even good brothers anymore?”
An apologetic look flashed in Mu Zhongxi's eyes as he silently apologized to his junior sister in his heart. Since Fourth Senior Brother doted on her so much, he probably wouldn't mind.
Luo Qingyu knew Ye Qiao had her best interests at heart. She let out a helpless sigh, waved her hand, and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Zhou Xingyun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up softly, “What exactly happened just now?”
Luo Qingyu lowered her eyes as she recalled those memory fragments. Her voice was low. “I don't know. I saw an illusion inside, and I can't help but feel that the people and events in it are closely tied to me.”
As soon as those words were spoken, the room fell dead silent, and the atmosphere instantly turned heavy.
Xue Yu reached out and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her softly, “Fourth Junior Brother, don't overthink it. After all, it was just an illusion.”
Hearing this, Luo Qingyu could only nod gently and put the matter aside for the time being.
At this moment, Mu Zhongxi's eyes lit up. He leaned forward and said to Luo Qingyu, “Fourth Senior Brother, hurry up and get out of bed! Second Senior Brother and I set up a barbecue in the courtyard. We're planning to have a proper celebration.”
Luo Qingyu smiled and nodded in response. “Go on ahead. I'll head over in a bit.”
Xue Yu still felt uneasy and wanted to stay behind to keep her company, but Ye Qiao quietly tugged at his sleeve.
Ye Qiao shot him a look and whispered, “Third Senior Brother, let's head out first and give Fourth Senior Brother some quiet time alone.”
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to turn and leave the room together.
【Ding! Memory fragments detected. The identity side quest has been activated.】
At that moment, 007 emerged from the system space and said with a smile, 【Congratulations, Host, on triggering the identity side quest! The quest rewards are extremely generous, and there's no time limit!】
Luo Qingyu's eyelid twitched violently, and she asked, “System, I didn't see you at all during the Secret Realm Tournament over the past few days. Where were you?”
007 felt a bit guilty. It couldn't possibly confess that while its host was busy with the tournament, it had been secretly playing online games with a system from a neighboring plane. That would make it look too irresponsible.
Seeing it stammer and refuse to tell the truth, Luo Qingyu didn't press further, switching to another question instead.
“Is this side quest related to the original owner's background?”
007 quickly snapped out of it and replied, 【That's correct, Host! The memory illusion that appeared in the Mountains and Rivers Scroll just now directly unlocked the quest related to the original owner's hidden identity.】
“Wait.” Luo Qingyu raised her hand to make a stopping gesture, interrupting its words.
“When I first transmigrated, wasn't the original owner's setting just a little beggar who grew up on the charity of others? Where did a hidden background come from? You'd better explain this to me clearly.”
007 walked over with a fawning expression, mimicking the motion of massaging her shoulders. 【Oh, Host, please don't be angry. This is your very own hidden quest, which can only be unlocked once triggered.】
Luo Qingyu didn't believe a word of it, convinced that 007 had deliberately kept her in the dark from the start just to see her make a fool of herself.
Seeing its host show absolutely no reaction, 007 couldn't help but grow anxious. 【Host, it's fine if you don't want to do this quest. Although the rewards are extremely generous, the process is also very dangerous.】
Luo Qingyu naturally understood this. Having seen the scenes in the memory fragments, she knew she would have to face countless dangers in this quest.
But since she had transmigrated into the original owner's body, she might as well uncover the full truth of her background and give the original owner a sense of peace.
She sighed inwardly. Her dear Qiaoqiao held the savior's script, while she herself was saddled with a revenge script. On second thought, neither of them got to live in leisure, which brought a slight sense of balance to her mind.
“In that case, I'll just go with the flow. For now, let's deal with the tournament first.”
“Let's go! Time to find Junior Sister and the others.”
Watching its host's calm and resilient demeanor, 007 couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in its heart.
【Rest assured, Host. Just keep moving forward, and 007 will always be by your side.】
