Chapter 648: Chapter 256: The Boy Rode His Bamboo Horse, Playing Beneath the Plum Blossoms (Part 2)

"Hmm."

Pei Weiyi’s eyes became somewhat pained as she trembled and asked, "Why did you do this? How am I supposed to explain it to the Immortal Emperor? It turns out, the one putting the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty in danger is actually my best friend?"

Fan Wubing sighed, "Sorry for causing you trouble. A lot has happened recently. However, I’m not trying to disrupt the peace of the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty."

"Can you promise me that?" Pei Weiyi’s slender eyebrows trembled lightly.

Fan Wubing took a deep breath, "I promise you!"

Pei Weiyi looked at him, not blinking for a long time. After a while, she closed her eyes and said grimly,

"I will assume you didn’t lie to me."

Fan Wubing smiled gently, "How could I possibly lie to you?"

"Do you remember when we were young..." Pei Weiyi opened her eyes, filled with a glow of memories.

The most magical aspect of the Enchanting Demon Dao is that once it alters perceptions, it automatically fills in memories consistent with the altered perception.

Therefore,

Pei Weiyi now filled in many memories substantiating "Fan Wubing and I are best friends." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

And these memories can be sensed by Fan Wubing through the Enchanting Demon Dao.

The difference is, he knows these memories are all fake, while Pei Weiyi does not.

In Pei Weiyi’s reconstructed memories, she and Fan Wubing were childhood friends, weathering hardships together, supporting each other, once at the brink of marriage, but due to various events, their relationship always remained at "best friends," unable to go further.

After experiencing these memories,

Fan Wubing inwardly lamented, "The Enchanting Demon Dao is truly terrifying... luckily, the Charm Demon Lord hasn’t fully mastered it, or I’d truly be in her hands."

Of course, the kind of memories filled in are also related to one’s personality.

Pei Weiyi is introverted and reserved, so Fan Wubing in her memories is cheerful and optimistic.

This complement in personalities forged their "best friends" relationship.

Pei Weiyi recounted bits and pieces of their childhood days. Those innocent times as childhood friends are what she holds dearest, and talking about them, even her aloof face becomes exceedingly gentle.

Fan Wubing, according to her memories, perfectly played the role of her best friend.

As they were about to part,

she frowned and asked, "Will you come to see me again? How long will you be gone this time..."

"Of course, I might come find you to play tomorrow." Fan Wubing laughed.

Pei Weiyi fell silent, but her eyes revealed she had more to say.

Fan Wubing then asked, "Is there something else you want to say?"

Pei Weiyi pursed her lips, slightly parted her mouth, but found it hard to speak. After a while, she slightly turned her head and asked,

"Do you have someone you like?"

Fan Wubing paused, thinking, "Oh boy, her gaze is as entangled as a ball of yarn... she’s serious! The Enchanting Demon Dao is truly frightening, it’s like it created a completely new life for her out of thin air. How should I answer this question?"

He pondered, his answer needed to fit Pei Weiyi’s perception, not making her feel something was off.

He had to play the role of the "best friend" well to avoid causing a cognitive dissonance.

Then,

he smiled and said, "I like the sky, I like the earth, I like boundless freedom."

Pei Weiyi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then she said,

"You haven’t changed a bit."

Fan Wubing cheerfully retorted, "And you, do you have someone you like? Our Wei Yi is so outstanding, surely there are many admirers."

Pei Weiyi looked at him, her eyes sparkling with peculiar brilliance.

The emotion within was self-evident.

But her answer was very much in line with her personality, "I only wish to explore the principles of heaven and fate, no dual intentions."

Fan Wubing laughed, "You’re still the same as before."

"Yes, just like before..." she looked elsewhere and murmured, "just as foolish..."

"I have to go," Fan Wubing said.

Pei Weiyi clasped her hands behind her back, the Chiwen Robe swayed slightly in the wind, she said,

"Wubing, we won’t become enemies, right."

"No, we won’t."

After Fan Wubing spoke, he turned and left.

Once more, silence engulfed the surroundings.

Pei Weiyi stood by the window, gazing at the vast sky, the light of dawn casting upon her face. This face, so often silent and indifferent, rare appeared a trace of a smile.

...

"The Enchanting Demon Dao is truly frightening..."

Although its usage conditions are very harsh, once successfully used, the effects it can display are incredibly powerful.

After leaving Jinhua Mansion, Fan Wubing couldn’t help but sigh again.

An enemy, in the blink of an eye, becomes a trustworthy "best friend."

Only the Enchanting Demon Dao could achieve this.

Of course, it also cannot be denied that this occurred because Pei Weiyi was too focused on probing his existence, using all her willpower, allowing for an opportunity to infiltrate. With her level of cultivation, had she been a bit more cautious, the effect would probably not have been this good.

"If I manage this relationship well, it might bring me considerable benefits. Pei Weiyi is a master in Yin Yang School’s teachings and Yin Yang Skill philosophy, a first-class researcher in heavenly principles and fate. Perhaps, I could learn from her. Given how much she values me, she surely wouldn’t refuse."

Fan Wubing thought,

"And also, regarding the matter of the Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Eyes, I might learn a thing or two."

The Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device focuses on predestined fate, while the Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Eyes foresee fortune and misfortune.

Be it the path of destiny or the principles of all things in the world, ultimately, they all rely on the Destiny Dao.

Just like the operation of the universe cannot do without the Circulation Dao.
