"What is going on? Why are they all standing still?" Fu Jingheng stared at the motionless crowd in front of him in astonishment, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness. Faced with the sudden change, he felt at a loss, as if he was lost in an unknown fog.

At this moment, Qing Ning quietly appeared behind him, her voice calm and cold: "The illusion has been broken, and it's time for you to leave." Her words were like a sharp sword, ruthlessly piercing Fu Jingheng's last bit of fantasy.

There was a trace of panic in Fu Jingheng's eyes, and he said incoherently: "No, I don't want to leave! I would rather let this illusion continue to exist, as long as I can stay here forever..." His voice was filled with despair, as if he had lost all hope in the real world.

However, Qing Ning had no sympathy at all. She frowned slightly and seemed a little impatient. She just waved her sleeves lightly, and Fu Jingheng disappeared in an instant.

With Fu Jingheng's departure, everything around him returned to peace again. Qing Ning stared at this space quietly, with a complex emotion in her heart. She knew that Fu Jingheng could not escape the shackles of fate after all, and so could others? In this endless cycle, everyone is trying to find their own answers!

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed, and Qing Ning's figure disappeared with the light. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had left the strange illusion and came to the mansion of the fifth prince.

At this moment, all the princes who had just been caught in the illusion fell to the ground lifeless, trapped in it.

At this moment, all the princes who had just been caught in the illusion fell to the ground lifeless and fell into a coma.

"Did anything happen in the illusion?" Gongsun Shang asked Qing Ning curiously, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

Qing Ning looked at him expressionlessly and nodded slightly to show her affirmation.

"A lot of things happened. Some people saw their past in the illusion, and those memories buried by time flooded into their hearts like a tide; some people glimpsed their future scenes, and were happy or sad, surprised or afraid; some people were even more peculiar, they seemed to travel through time and space, and experienced their past and present lives personally, and felt the love and hate, joys and sorrows in those distant years. Your spiritual weapon is really powerful!" Qing Ning's voice was as calm as water, but the amazement contained in it was not concealed at all.

Gongsun Shang heard this and a hint of pride appeared on his face. He stroked the spiritual weapon in his hand, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

"This spiritual weapon is a treasure that I obtained after going through untold hardships. It can show such a magical effect, which is worth my efforts. However, everything in the illusion is illusory, so you must not be overly obsessed with it." Gongsun Shang said in a serious tone.

Qing Ning nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She knew that what Gongsun Shang said was true. Although the illusion was wonderful, it was just an illusion after all and could not replace real life. However, she was still full of curiosity about this spiritual weapon. After all, the world it showed was so colorful and breathtaking.

"Since the young lady likes it so much, why not give this magic weapon to the young lady. Such a treasure will surely shine brightly in the young lady's hands, far better than in the hands of a mortal like me." The person who spoke smiled and looked sincerely at the woman opposite him - Qing Ning.

Qing Ning was a little confused when she heard this. She stared at him, trying to tell from his expression and eyes whether he was sincere or had other intentions. However, he looked frank, without any falsehood.

After a brief thought, Qing Ning said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but this item is precious, Qing Ning really dare not accept it easily. How about this, I will exchange an item with you? Qing Ning has a spiritual sword in his hand, which has not yet recognized its master and can grow with the master's cultivation. I think it should be very suitable for you."

Hearing this, Gongsun Shang was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of surprise. He never expected that Qing Ning had what he needed most at the moment! He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really a pillow for you when you are sleepy! He nodded without hesitation, indicating his happy agreement.

When Gongsun Shang received the spirit sword from Qing Ning, he did not immediately put it into his pocket, but examined it carefully. However, after just one glance, his face became extremely solemn. Because he found that this spirit sword was so precious, it had endless potential, and it could even grow into a divine weapon in the future! What was even more surprising was that even though Gongsun Shang already had his own natal sword, this spirit sword could still recognize him as the master and become his second natal sword, and it would not conflict with the original natal sword at all.

"Thank you, young lady." A hint of surprise flashed in Gongsun Shang's eyes, and he thanked her without hesitation.

Hearing Gongsun Shang's thanks, Qing Ning smiled and said you're welcome. Then, she carefully took the spiritual weapon and put it into her space ring.

"By the way, what should we do with these people? They have experienced too many things in the illusion!" Qing Ning suddenly remembered those people who were still in a coma.

Gongsun Shang thought for a moment, then answered decisively: "Then erase their memories. The less they know about the things in the illusion, the safer they will be."

Qing Ning nodded and agreed with Gongsun Shang's decision. After all, the secret in the illusion was too important. If these people kept that memory, it might bring them unexpected trouble. So, the two began to work, casting special spells to clear the relevant memories in these people's minds one by one. After doing all this, Gongsun Shang and Qing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this hidden danger had finally been completely eliminated.

The two men turned and left the Fifth Prince's mansion. Shortly after they left, several princes on the ground woke up one after another.

"Oh, what's going on? Why am I in the fifth brother's mansion? Could it be that... I am drunk?" said a prince, rubbing his head.

"Ouch, my head hurts so much! Really, I will never come to fifth brother's mansion to drink again." Another prince complained.

At one point, several other princes also chimed in, saying that their heads were feeling very dizzy and uncomfortable. However, before they could figure out why they felt this way, they only had one thought in their minds: leave this place quickly!

So, the princes hurriedly stood up and staggered towards the door of the mansion. In the blink of an eye, except for the second prince Fu Jingheng who was still in a daze, everyone else had disappeared.

It turned out that when Qing Ning cast the spell just now, she had kept a special thought. She did not delete all of Fu Jingheng's memories, but retained some of them - especially the gentle mother and the unique self in the illusion. What was the purpose of doing this? Perhaps only Qing Ning herself knew...

Before leaving, Gongsun Shang deliberately stared at the second prince lying on the ground. Although Qing Ning's actions were concealed, they could not escape his sharp eyes. However, he did not reveal it all because he did not want to embarrass or embarrass the girl. After all, he wanted her to be able to live freely and do what she likes without any constraints or restrictions.

When they returned to the mansion, they met two good friends who were waiting for Qing Ning's return - Ouyang Jingjing and Fang Yuanyuan. Ouyang Jingjing looked at Qing Ning and Gongsun Shang with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She keenly noticed that some subtle changes seemed to have occurred after the two of them went out. Although this change was hard to describe, it could be felt.
