Li Wei cast the Tier One Illusion Technique.

The created Illusion was vivid and lifelike.

A rose fell into his palm, and Li Wei could feel the flower’s softness.

This was no longer just an Illusion, but an Illusion Object.

It wasn’t just a visual effect; it had a sense of touch.

It was both real and illusory.

It gave Li Wei a sudden feeling of familiarity.

’Dream Creation?’

A thought struck Li Wei.

He was starting to have doubts about Torresta’s identity.

The things created by the Illusion Technique bore a striking resemblance to Dream Creations.

’Could Torresta be a Sleepwalker too?’

’Or even a Dream Stealer, or a Dream Weaver?’

Li Wei pondered for a long time but couldn’t come to an answer.

Torresta was a Spiritual Mage, so his Perception Ability of the Dream World was stronger than that of an ordinary person.

It would be perfectly normal for him to become a Sleepwalker.

Not everyone possessed the "Great Dream Traveling Skill" like Li Wei, able to enter and exit the Dream World freely.

Most Sleepwalkers stumbled into the Dream World accidentally.

Or perhaps they "awakened," realizing they were in the Dream World, and thus escaped their Dream Bubble to wander the Dream World.

People with higher spiritual sensitivity were more likely to become Sleepwalkers.

’Maybe it’s just my imagination. I’m still in the Dream World, so my consciousness could be influencing it, making the Illusion Object seem like a Dream Creation.’

With a thought, Li Wei exited the Dream World.

He returned to the real world.

Li Wei cast the Illusion Technique.

A small lightbulb materialized in front of him, illuminating the dim room.

The lightbulb’s brightness changed according to Li Wei’s will.

’The Lighting Technique? Haha~’

Li Wei chuckled.

The lightbulb floated in mid-air, its glow only illuminating a three-foot radius around him.

A vibrant rose appeared in his hand.

A thought flickered in Li Wei’s mind. He reached out and picked up a tuberose that was sitting on the nightstand.

The rose in his hand transformed into a blue-violet tuberose.

The two tuberoses in his hands looked identical.

The Illusion Object in his left hand was like a perfect copy.

Still, Li Wei could feel the difference.

’The weight, the scent, the subtle texture... an Illusion Object is still different from a real object.’

The tactile sensation was just a false feeling; it lacked the sense of weight that came from mass.

Holding it was like holding nothing at all.

When he stared directly at the illusory tuberose, the tactile sensation grew stronger.

But if he closed his eyes, his palm felt like it was holding a puff of air or a fluffy cotton ball—it wasn’t real enough.

’A fake is still a fake in the end. But if I combine it with a real prop, it could be convincing enough to pass for the real thing.’

With a thought, the tuberose in Li Wei’s left hand vanished.

The real tuberose in his right hand transformed into a purple rose.

The feel was real, the sight was real, and it even had a floral scent.

It was just like a real rose.

’Heh, this is more than enough to fool someone who doesn’t know the scent of flowers.’

Li Wei placed the purple rose back into the vase.

A single rose mixed in with a bouquet of tuberoses looked a bit strange.

Li Wei let the Magic Radiance envelop the tuberose, wanting to see how long the Illusion Technique could be maintained.

After some testing, Li Wei discovered that the Illusion Technique and Dream Creation shared the same origin.

That made Torresta’s identity a bit more complicated.

Li Wei looked at the purple rose.

’At the very least, he’s still my teacher for now.’

Torresta treated him very well.

Judging by actions and not by thoughts, Li Wei still readily acknowledged Torresta as his teacher.

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn’t help but ponder something.

’If Torresta is also a Sleepwalker, does that mean my unrestrained use of the Great Dream Traveling Skill inside the Mage Tower was discovered long ago?’

The answer remained unknown for now.

At least, Torresta hadn’t said anything to his face.

So Li Wei decided to act as if he knew nothing.

’Besides creating Illusion Objects that are hard to tell from the real thing, the Tier One Illusion Technique has another important effect.’

Li Wei cast the Fireball Skill, then cast the Illusion Technique.

The color and shape of the Fireball in his palm began to change.

The Fireball turned into an ice-blue arrow.

’Magic Disguise!’

The corners of Li Wei’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sly grin.

An attack that looked like an Ice Arrow but exploded like a Fireball would surely catch an enemy off guard.

Magic Disguise was only a visual effect; the Fireball Skill was still the Fireball Skill.

At a critical moment, it could produce an unexpected result.

Dispelling the Fireball in his hand, Li Wei activated his Invisible Armor.

He cast the Illusion Technique.

The Invisible Armor transformed into a suit of Metal Armor, making Li Wei look like a heavily armored Warrior.

An idea sparked in Li Wei’s mind.

CLICK!

The sound of a door closing was heard.

Li Wei dispersed his Mana and looked toward the door.

In the dead of night, Rota was sneaking out alone.

’Mage Rota, has something been troubling you these past few days?’

Li Wei thought to himself.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Li Wei quickly put on his Invisibility Cloak and followed Rota.

He preferred to take the initiative rather than passively wait for Rota to drag him into trouble.

He followed Rota to a private residence in Flying Flower City.

Rota glanced left and right, and after confirming no one was around, he knocked on the door: three long knocks and three short ones.

The door opened, and Rota slipped inside.

"Shadow Attendant."

Li Wei stood on the Shadow Attendant, climbed onto the roof, and saw Rota walk into the backyard.

In the backyard stood a mature woman wearing a purple mink coat and holding a thin tobacco pipe. She had a voluptuous figure with prominent curves.

"Evelyn."

Rota called out the woman’s name.

Evelyn took a drag from her pipe, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "You’re still going to help them?"

Rota said with some anguish, "Even though the Set Clan abandoned my parents eighteen years ago, they are still my blood relatives. I can’t just stand by and watch the Set Clan be destroyed..."

"If my parents could see this, they wouldn’t forgive me."

"I’m sorry, Evelyn."

Rota said, his face full of apology.

Evelyn shook her head and said, "This is your choice. I respect your choice."

"But don’t come looking for me again."

"I will help the Set Clan resolve this trouble. You should go."

Evelyn ordered him to leave.

Rota opened his mouth, but the words were hard to say.

In the end, he could only turn and leave in a sorry state.

After Rota left, Evelyn looked up at the roof and said calmly, "Your Excellency, you’ve been watching for so long. Don’t you plan on showing yourself?"

When Li Wei saw her looking in his direction, he knew he had been exposed.

He jumped down from the roof, landing softly.

"How did you discover me?" Li Wei asked.

Evelyn tapped her pipe and said, "The scent... You smell of tuberose. I don’t like that floral fragrance."

Li Wei paused slightly.

He sniffed himself but couldn’t smell any floral fragrance.

Evelyn added, "Your invisibility is too low-level. It can’t fool Spiritual Power."

Li Wei looked at her in surprise.

He had been at least twenty to thirty meters away from Evelyn just now, yet she was able to discover him.

With such powerful Spiritual Power, Evelyn had to be at least a Tier Three Mage.

Seeing this, Li Wei decided to reveal his identity as well.

He didn’t want to needlessly offend a powerful Mage.

"I’m a friend of Rota’s," Li Wei said.

Evelyn took a puff of her pipe. "And?"

"I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help him," Li Wei said.

"How considerate of you. Go back. This has nothing to do with you," Evelyn said dismissively.

Seeing her reaction, Li Wei turned to leave.

Just as he turned, a thought suddenly occurred to him. He looked back and asked, "What is your relationship with Rota?"

"Teacher."
