Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be just a wisp of consciousness derived from the power of the curse itself.

After understanding its origin, he continued to read the hints that followed.

"No need to consider external forces anymore, all possible powers that could dissolve this curse are not available in the current version.

However, the power of the curse itself is not an external force.

It is already on the path of dissolving the curse.

Completing the step to open the portal is the most important step in its view to dissolve the curse."

Temporary Ability.

1: Persuasive Talk.

The more your thoughts, statements, ideologies, etc., overlap with the other person's thoughts, the better the effect.

2: Exile.

When you can completely envelop the other person's power with the tendrils of your power, you can exile them to a space that both exists and doesn't exist.

3: Summoning Talisman.

When you have obtained sufficient authority from Emperor Qin, you can summon the power from the original starting point."

Wen Yan tried on each of the temporary abilities one by one, ultimately choosing the first one.

He slightly raised his head, gazing at the transparent figure laughing wildly in midair, and laughed along with it.

He somewhat understood now; the task the transparent person was to complete actually had a complete set of steps, just like the advancement path of a Professional, each of whom needed to complete different tasks to advance.

The transparent person going to commit self-harm... oh, wrong, going to dissolve this curse, also required a full set of steps.

Under normal circumstances, neither the Scorching Sun Department nor Wen Yan would let the transparent person truly open that portal.

But now...

It didn't matter anymore.

Wen Yan chuckled, took out three candies from his pocket, casually gave one to Brother Ye, and another to Tuoba Martial God.

He unwrapped one himself, put the candy into his mouth, then sat down on a nearby rock, gesturing for Tuoba Martial God and Brother Ye to join him.

"Don't just stand there, sit down. Aren't you tired from standing?"

Wen Yan left Tuoba Martial God feeling a bit puzzled, and the transparent person even more so.

He completely didn't understand what Wen Yan meant by this?

He didn't dare to act recklessly in Wenyan Family's home, each time he approached, he would hide deep inside Brother Ye, with even his consciousness falling into a dormant state.

There, in his view, there was a significant threat.

And in the small Virtue City, there were unexpectedly two such places that gave him this feeling.

Originally, when he saw Wen Yan, he was somewhat vigilant, but now he wasn't afraid anymore.

After smiling, Wen Yan really relaxed and sat there watching the play, causing the transparent person to stop laughing; he was bewildered, utterly unable to understand why and whether there was a conspiracy waiting for him.

"Why are you not laughing? You should laugh," Wen Yan said sincerely, without a hint of sarcasm.

The transparent person's expression became increasingly serious; he looked at Wen Yan, his body slowly descending a bit, and the surrounding black mist seemed to coalesce into strange wings hovering behind him.

"Don't be so tense." Wen Yan waved his hand, taking out a candy: "Want some candy?"

Seeing that the transparent person seemed disinterested, Wen Yan sighed.

"This is a real wondrous item, a good thing, and yet you don't want it.

Don't be so tense, I just asked Brother Ye, and I think there might have been a misunderstanding earlier.

I thought you were here to harm people, but turns out, your core purpose is also to dissolve the curse.

So I think there's no need for us to be so hostile.

I also want to thoroughly dissolve the curse; isn't our goal the same?"

The transparent person was left a bit stupefied by Wen Yan, was he really not concerned that he was opening the portal?

Wen Yan seemed to understand what the transparent person was thinking and casually said.

"Don't look at me with those eyes. Are you wondering why I didn't stop you from opening the portal?

Do you think I didn't want to?

You've already opened it, so what's the point in stopping you?

Since this matter has already become a reality, your remaining purpose is to dissolve the curse.

Our purpose has also become to dissolve the curse, then figure out how to close this portal and deal with the upcoming big trouble.

Things should be done one at a time; if I cause trouble for you now, can the curse be dissolved?

Probably not, right?

Since our goals are the same, why don't you focus on dissolving the curse first?

After this matter is over, we can talk about the things that follow later.

You at least have some education, coming from a literate noble background, don't tell me you can't understand this."

Wen Yan, sitting cross-legged on the stone, appeared increasingly relaxed.

The transparent person was silent; he had indeed not thought of these things.

But he understood now, focusing on solving matters as the core purpose rather than venting one's emotions as the core purpose.

He also agreed with this philosophy; for the sake of the family's interests, for the community's interests, he could do things he did not wish to and could swallow his grievances.

Everything was for long-term benefits; splitting up achieves nothing.

Just like in the past, for the continuation of his ethnicity, to leave a spark for Chu Nation, he did what he did, making it so that King of Qin did not exterminate them completely.

The transparent person fundamentally did not know who he was; the things he knew were told by others or found through his investigations.

Unfortunately, when he emerged, it was already a thousand years later, and the things he saw were all altered by historical narrative.

Aside from his hatred for Emperor Qin, he genuinely believed that he was doing the right thing.

Seeing Wen Yan at this moment, surprisingly so mindful of the bigger picture and not immediately shouting for blood after he opened the portal, he couldn't help but look up to Wen Yan a bit more.
