Chapter 467 Joy of Life 23
"I don't want to go back to the modern world! I don't want to go back to being a patient who can only lie in a hospital bed waiting to die. I don't want to be Fan Shen again."
The memories of his past life were so vivid that Fan Xian felt as if he could no longer even lift his head, and his heart was instantly overwhelmed by a surge of fear.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his emotions surged, and he let out a low roar, as if he were about to regain consciousness at any moment.
A cold glint flashed in Li Chengze's eyes, and a surge of ruthlessness welled up in his heart.
However, he gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent that was about to burst forth.
He slowly, bit by bit, released his grip on Fan Xian's neck, as if engaged in a silent struggle within himself, which ultimately prevailed due to reason and restraint.
Fan Xian cannot die now, at least not here.
In order to peer into Fan Xian's memories, he used every means available at this stage: formations, medicinal incense, sonic manipulation, and the Demonic Induction Technique...
They finally managed to see Fan Xian's past.
But the result was infuriating.
"Your world is so wonderful, that's your hometown! Your roots! Why don't you want to go back? How could you not want to go back?"
Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian, who was struggling in front of him, with a murderous rage in his eyes.
Fan Xian didn't know how to travel through time, which Li Chengze could understand. After all, time travel is beyond human capability.
However, he did not want to travel back in time, and even strongly resisted it, which Li Chengze could not accept.
How can a person abandon their own world?
Especially since Fan Xian's world is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than this world, why doesn't Fan Xian want to go back?
Doesn't Fan Xian despise the privileged class in this world? Doesn't he despise imperial power?
Why would I be happy to have traveled to this world?
why?
Li Chengze couldn't comprehend the suffering of patients with myasthenia gravis; he only saw that Fan Xian was unwilling to leave the world he had transmigrated to.
He traveled through so many worlds, desperately searching for a way home, but never succeeded.
Before meeting Fan Xian, he was filled with anticipation, hoping that Fan Xian would know the method of time travel.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Fan Xian doesn't know.
After all, time travel is beyond human control, and he was already mentally prepared for it.
Regardless, as fellow time travelers, they should all be able to feel the bitterness of being forced to travel through time and the urgent desire to return home.
As outsiders in this world, they can understand each other's feelings more deeply even without revealing their identities.
However, Fan Xian was unwilling to go back, and even less willing to make the effort for it.
In Li Chengze's view, Fan Xian has been corrupted by this world, and now he is a shameful traitor who uses the resources he obtained in his previous life to seek personal gain in this world.
He always thought he was amazing, using his 'advanced' ideas to instruct everyone, but little did he know that he himself had long since become a member of that 'cannibalistic' system.
Just like Fan Xian now, when Fan Jian asked him what kind of person he wanted to be, he replied without hesitation: "The richest man in the world, with beautiful wives and concubines, living a carefree life."
Damn it!
If Li Chengze is not mistaken, Fan Xian's world is a monogamous society, bigamy is a crime, and even keeping a mistress is subject to moral condemnation.
Fan Xian has only been in this world for a few years, and he's already forgotten everything?
Oh, wait a minute!
Fan Xian still remembered the cultural treasures of his previous life spanning five thousand years, and could readily quote those poems and songs.
Because that was his greatest asset in this era, allowing him to establish himself and make a name for himself.
Li Chengze smiled sarcastically.
On one hand, Fan Xian looks down on the "ancient people" of this era because of his memories from his previous life; on the other hand, he enjoys the privileged class treatment of this era with a clear conscience.
If he were to transmigrate into the body of an ordinary citizen, becoming a weed that those in power could easily uproot, would he still choose to stay?
Disappointment and anger are not enough to describe Li Chengze's feelings at this moment. All the emotions that erupted were mixed together, almost driving him crazy!
"I don't want to go back!"
Lost in his memories, Fan Xian's emotions grew increasingly agitated, and he finally couldn't help but shout out loud.
Xie Bi'an, Fan Wujiu, and their guards, who had been waiting near the pavilion, immediately became alert upon hearing the noise, their expressions tense.
"Your Highness? Are you alright?"
Li Chengze closed his eyes tightly, trying his best to suppress the surging emotions within him. He abruptly flung his sleeves, sat down angrily, and sternly rebuked Fan Xian:
"roll!"
Upon hearing this word, Fan Xian, though still dazed, moved as if a machine had been programmed to do so. He supported himself on the table and slowly stood up, swaying as he left the pavilion.
It wasn't until he walked out of the backyard and returned to the place where he had parted ways with Lin Wan'er that he suddenly snapped back to his senses.
At this moment, he was completely unaware of what had just happened; his memory was still stuck on the moment he chased after Lin Wan'er.
Thinking of all the doubts he had before, Fan Xian had no time to think about anything else and immediately followed the direction Lin Wan'er had gone, hurrying after her.
……
Inside the pavilion, Li Chengze's expression had returned to calm.
However, beneath this calm surface lies a volcano that could erupt at any moment, with a chilling aura emanating from it.
Li Chengze slowly raised his right hand to pick up the teacup, gently held his sleeve with his left hand, and poured the remaining tea into the incense burner, extinguishing the still-burning medicinal fragrance.
Then he looked down at the empty teacup in his hand, a fierce glint flashing across his face, and then he smashed the teacup on the ground with a 'smack'.
A crisp, decisive sound rang out in the pavilion, and the teacup instantly shattered into pieces on the ground.
Then, he kicked the furnishings inside the pavilion several times, instantly breaking the formation inside the pavilion.
At the same time, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, upon hearing the sound, sprang into action, darting into the pavilion like two bolts of lightning.
One person quickly checked the situation inside the pavilion, while the other scanned the surroundings with eyes like a hawk.
Faced with this scene, Li Chengze calmly straightened his somewhat glaring red clothes and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's alright, let's leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengze stepped out of the pavilion. His bright red clothes fluttered slightly as he walked, like a dancing flame. Yet, he exuded an indescribable aura of coldness that sent chills down one's spine.
Seeing this, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu exchanged a glance, both realizing that something was wrong with Li Chengze. They dared not say anything and quickly followed.
After returning to the palace, Li Chengze sat on the swing in the hall and swayed for a while until he felt that his emotions had completely calmed down. Then he turned to Xie Bi'an and instructed him: "I remember that Li Yunrui once secretly formed an organization called Junhuishan. Try to send her a message through Junhuishan."
