Chapter 59
The next day.

Tu Yu sat on the swing in the courtyard with a complicated expression.

Qi Yanzhi stood beside him cautiously, with a nervous expression on his face.

"Yu'er, I have something to tell you, can you go somewhere with me." Qi Yanzhi approached Tu Yu and asked cautiously.

In the past two years, Qi Yanzhi still came to see Tu Yu every few days. Even though Tu Yu had a cold attitude, he didn't care, but his attitude was very careful, and he would not make Tu Yu unhappy.

Later, Tu Yu's attitude gradually improved a lot, which made Qi Yanzhi very happy.

In fact, Tu Yu was relieved that this Qi Yanzhi was not the Qi Yanzhi she knew, he was not married to her, and he did not have that kind of ambition, she was the only one who was full of heart and eyes.

The emperor was already old, and when he wanted to make Qi Yanzhi the crown prince, he was rejected. He was so angry that he slapped Qi Yanzhi in public in the court, and appointed another prince as the crown prince. Everyone knew about it.

"Okay." Tu Yu nodded slightly in agreement.

Qi Yanzhi smiled brightly, his peach blossom eyes brightened.

The two walked through a peach forest, and from time to time, pieces of pale pink peach blossoms slowly fell, and the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Yu'er, we're here."

Qi Yanzhi stopped in front of a peach blossom tree first, looked at Tu Yu with a smile on his face, but nervously clenched his hands behind his back, his palms were covered with sweat.

Tu Yu looked up at the peach blossom tree in front of him, which was somewhat taller than all the trees in the peach forest, with a complicated look on his face.

Qi Yanzhi was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Yu'er, I am happy with you."

"I, Qi Yanzhi, only want to marry you alone in this life, and I only want to marry you alone. With this peach tree as proof, we will be a couple forever."

"Will you... marry me as your wife?"

Tu Yu looked at Qi Yanzhi who had a hopeful expression in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"I don't want to."

The tone is sure, leaving no room for it.

Qi Yanzhi's face was pale, his lips trembled, and finally he only asked two words.

"Why?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still held a trace of luck, and now even this trace of luck has been broken.

There was a tear in the corner of Tu Yu's eyes, she looked at Qi Yanzhi, smiled wryly, and said slowly, "Because, all of this...is all fake."

She finally punctured this illusion with her own hands.

"Is that so..." Qi Yanzhi slowly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Tu Yu's eyes, revealing a pale smile, and his figure became unreal.

In the end, it slowly dissipated without leaving any traces.

The colors between the sky and the earth are slowly disappearing, and this seemingly real world, like a faded picture scroll, begins to dissipate.

The people coming and going in the city, the petals blown by the wind in the peach grove, all freeze, the world is silent, Tu Yu looks in the direction of the imperial capital, and slowly closes his eyes.

After spending nearly ten years in this illusion, she almost thought that this was the real world.

But decades of practice in Daoxuanzong, the spiritual power circulating in his body, and those who cared about him kept Tu Yu awake.

She could break free from the illusion long ago, but she just didn't want to.

"Yu'er, you have to live well..."

The familiar voice came to her ears, and Tu Yu opened her eyes suddenly, and saw three familiar figures standing a few steps in front of her, they were her father, mother and elder brother.

The three of them did not approach Tu Yu, seeing Tu Yu opened his eyes, Yu Ruosu showed a gentle smile, Tu Jing'an and Tu Jue also had gentle smiles on their faces, nodded slightly towards Tu Yu, their figures gradually became illusory.

Tu Yu's eyes widened, and he stepped forward quickly, reaching out to grab the three of them, but he didn't grab anything.

This piece of heaven and earth is like a faded picture scroll, slowly fading, and the figures of the three people disappeared together.

"Mother... Father... Brother..."

On the final stage.

A tear slowly fell from the corner of Tu Yu's eye, soaking up all the reluctance, but she had to wake up again.

This is a fantasy, but also a gentle and cruel dream.

Everything was so real, so real that the smiles and frowns of relatives were the same as in memory, and even the faces of her father and mother became clear.

It was also too false, completely opposite to everything she experienced, the almost cruel beauty, but it was like a sharp knife, piercing the bloody reality.

She always remembers everything soberly, but she is intoxicated by it.

The sound of the piano had already stopped, and Liu Yunyao sat quietly on the spot, looking at the tear falling from the corner of Tu Yu's eyes, with a complicated expression on her face.

Tu Yu was silent for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yunyao.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm defeated."

When she was intoxicated in the illusion, she had already lost. If she was fighting to the death, she might have died countless times.

"No, you won."

Liu Yunyao shook her head slightly, smiled at Tu Yu, and then slowly explained.

"My piano sound will create a fantasy in the bottom of my heart based on the memory of the subject. The illusion is what the subject most desires or cares about. Almost everyone will be intoxicated by it. Even if they know it is false, they will gradually get lost. Forget yourself, and end up confusing truth with falsehood.”

"And you broke through the illusion... Fellow Daoist, you have won."

Thinking of the figure that disappeared with the illusion, Tu Yu still felt a little tingling in his heart. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Based on the time I have been in the illusion, you are enough to kill me several times. Moreover, I was almost lost in your illusion, and you have won because of emotion and reason."

Liu Yunyao smiled and looked at Tu Yu with serious eyes.

"This is my rule. Fellow Daoist has broken through the illusion, and I have already conceded defeat. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for winning the second place on the Tianjiao list."

The two looked at each other for a long time, Tu Yu smiled and nodded slowly.

"Then thank you fellow daoist."

Thank you not only for the victory or defeat, but also for the sweet dream that Liu Yunyao wove for her.

Everything in that illusion seemed to be intentionally making up for her regrets.

Liu Yunyao glanced at the biggest arena, got up and walked away slowly holding the piano, leaving only one sentence in Tu Yu's ears.

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist that he can win the first place."

The walking speed is very slow, but it disappears in just one breath.

Tu Yu nodded slowly, still standing where she was, feeling a little disappointed.

Those ten years in the illusion were too real, and it was hard to get used to the sudden return to reality.

Tu Yu has spent several years in the illusion, but in reality, only half a stick of incense has passed.

At this time, all the monks watching the battle were a little confused.

The fight hasn't started yet, why is it over? !
Someone asked slowly.

"Did any of you understand this battle?"

All the monks shook their heads.

"Fairy Tu Yu conceded for a while, and Fairy Yunyao conceded for a while, anyway, I didn't understand!"

"Didn't you hear? Fairy Yunyao's illusion was shattered, so she voluntarily surrendered."

"But if this illusion is broken, can we still continue to fight?"

"You have to ask Fairy Yunyao about this."

"Tch, what's the difference between you saying nothing!"

……

 I wrote and cried to myself.
