Time moves forward.
Zhong Yi arrived on the day Gu Yun and Lin Xi got married.
As they said, the wedding banquet was held under the lighthouse, which is not common in folk customs.
Countless relatives and friends are helping to decorate the wedding banquet venue.
As Zhong Yi walked through the crowd, he could often hear people expressing their bewilderment at the idea of getting married in this place.
At these times, Gu Yun's elderly mother with white hair would explain again and again that this place was of great significance to Gu Yun and Lin Xi, and was their second home.
"Linxi has a good husband and a good mother-in-law..."
Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh.
He was quite familiar with most of the local customs.
Getting married in such a place is bound to attract a lot of criticism.
Considering Lin Xi's almost fanatical love for the lighthouse, it's not hard for Zhong Yi to guess whose idea it was to get married here.
The chat room couldn't help but start commenting.
【I feel she doesn't deserve it! Old Master Gu treats her so well, yet she won't utter a single word from her heart!】
To be honest, I couldn't even stand being with a woman like that for the length of an incense stick burning.
She completely fails to appreciate Old Master Gu's kindness!
【That's so selfish!】
...
"Everyone, I have many questions just like you... Let's keep moving forward."
Zhong Yi shook his head.
For a long time, he had had unwavering faith in Lu Ze's ability to create illusions.
But this time...
For once, he felt a slight wavering in his heart.
Perhaps, as the comments suggest, Lu Ze's story has backfired this time?
"I didn't see either of them..."
Qin Li'en looked around but didn't see Gu Yun and Lin Xi in the crowd.
The important fragments of memory were on them, but the two were not alarmed and headed straight for the top of the mountain.
Sure enough, Gu Yun and Lin Xi were leaning against the stone wall of the lighthouse, gazing up at the starry sky together.
This was the night before their wedding.
That night, they named the lighthouse "Anya".
That night, the two sang and danced all night long at the top of the tower.
The evening breeze was sweet that night.
...
The next day passed in the blink of an eye.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
...
Amidst the blessings of the crowd, Gu Yun and Lin Xi clumsily completed the ceremony and became sworn brothers in front of the lighthouse.
The wedding banquet was held at the foot of the mountain.
The wine cups were clinked and toasts were exchanged.
The elderly mother wiped away her tears, hugged Lin Xi and Gu Yun, drank a toast of blessing, and then prepared to leave.
"Alright, don't forget to toast your Uncle Wen later... He saved your life when you were a child."
Before leaving, she smiled and waved to Gu Yun, saying:
"You must treat the girl well, Xiao Feng."
Sitting at the table were all Gu Yun's old friends. Zhang Peng looked at Gu Yun in surprise and asked:
Why do I call you Xiao Feng?
“Uh, my maternal grandfather’s name was Feng. He passed away before I was born... My mother missed him very much, so she used Xiao Feng as my nickname.”
Gu Yun explained slowly and deliberately.
The memory space came to a standstill once again.
"The old man is so pitiful, everyone around him is leaving one after another..."
Zhong Yi sighed.
Urged by Qin Li'en, the two set off to collect dream power and memory fragments.
People came and went at the wedding banquet, but most of them were just silhouettes.
Qin Li'en had explained this situation before, because the entire dream world was formed based on Gu Yun's memories.
The old man's memory of those people he had only met once was vague, appearing only as a blurry outline.
"Hmm? This person isn't a phantom... but it hasn't appeared before?"
At another table, Zhong Yi saw an unfamiliar middle-aged face.
【Wen Qingyun: A friend of Gu Yun's mother, who seems to have saved Gu Yun's life.】
"I've found the memory fragment... Junior Brother Zhong, what's wrong?"
I could faintly hear Qin Li'en calling my name.
Zhong Yi frowned as he looked at the mark below Wen Qingyun's cheek.
There's a sense of déjà vu about it.
"It's nothing, I'm here."
Zhong Yi shook his head, not delving into it further, and followed Qin Li'en's voice down the mountain.
This time, the memory fragment is of a poor rabbit that was trampled to death by an earth dragon.
"This memory fragment... is it the corpse of a rabbit?"
Zhong Yi stared in surprise at the pitiful rabbit, which had been completely flattened, and said with malice:
"Do you think Lin Xi will blame her unhappy marriage on the unlucky rabbit she stepped on on her wedding day? So... she's been folding paper rabbits every day?"
"I don't know, but it has nothing to do with our mission."
Qin Li'en shook her head.
"That's true... What does the rabbit or Lin Xi have to do with going to the Moon Realm?"
Zhong Yi echoed in agreement.
The two infused five streams of dream power into the memory fragments.
The next memory is set on a grassland.
