"This is..."
"General's clue to the murder." Zhuge Liang's expression turned serious, "It seems we need to reassess the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Western Regions."
On the way back to the residence, a system notification suddenly sounded:
【Warning! The host has wasted precious poison and failed to collect sufficient evidence. A reverse reward penalty is now imposed.】
Lin Xiaofan felt a tightness in his chest: "What penalty?"
【For the next twelve hours, the host can only speak sweet nothings. Violation will result in being struck by lightning.】
"Damn..." Lin Xiaofan was about to curse when he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, his hair standing on end.
【Violation warning! Penalty: mild electric shock.】
Zhuge Liang looked at Lin Xiaofan, who had suddenly become agitated, and asked with concern, "Lord, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaofan suppressed his anger and forced out an extremely gentle smile: "It's nothing... just seeing you care for me warms my heart..."
Zhuge Liang: "???"
As soon as they returned to the courtyard, the butler came to report: "Young Master, Fifth Prince has come to visit."
Lin Xiaofan felt darkness clouding his vision—of all times, it had to be now!
Dressed in splendid robes, Fifth Prince approached with a hypocritical smile: "I heard that Lin Gongzi is unwell, so I came to check on you."
Lin Xiaofan gritted his teeth and smiled: "Your Highness's concern touches me so deeply that my heart feels like it's melting..."
Fifth Prince's expression froze: "Lin Gongzi... what do you mean by that?"
Zhuge Liang stifled laughter, his beard trembling.
Internally, Lin Xiaofan was raging while uncontrollably spilling sweet words: "Your Highness's eyes are as brilliant as the stars; every time I see you, my heart races..."
Fifth Prince stepped back in terror: "Lin, Lin Gongzi, have you been possessed?"
"No," Lin Xiaofan stepped forward passionately and took Fifth Prince's hand, "I am merely captivated by your heroic demeanor..." As he spoke, he uncontrollably began reciting love poetry: "Once I have crossed the vast sea, no other waters can compare; apart from Mount Wu, there are no clouds..."
Fifth Prince, frightened, stumbled backward and knocked over an inkstone on the desk. Ink splattered against the wall, and strangely enough, the ink gradually revealed several lines of writing:
"Changes in the Western Regions... Moro... Be cautious of the Crown Prince..."
Both Lin Xiaofan and Zhuge Liang changed color simultaneously—this was General's handwriting! The wall had been treated with a secret writing potion!
That night, Lin Xiaofan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The clues he had discovered during the day felt like a tangled mess: his father, the Crown Prince, the Western Region Demon Monk... what was the connection between these figures?
In a daze, he found himself standing on a strange road. Towering buildings surrounded him, and traffic flowed like a river.
"Is this... modern times?"
Suddenly, a blaring horn pierced the air from behind him. Lin Xiaofan whipped around—
A runaway truck was barreling straight toward him!
"Bang!"
As pain surged through him in an instant, Lin Xiaofan jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat.

Gasping for breath, Lin Xiaofan was struck by a terrifying thought: that accident... was it really just an accident?
He shot up from his bed, his clothes soaked with sweat. He stared at the dim candlelight in the room, and it seemed as though the chaotic sounds of modern streets still echoed in his ears.
"It wasn't a dream..." He clutched the blanket tightly. The truck charging at him, the screeching brakes, and the moment of fear before death—all of it felt horrifyingly real.
