Tower. Bedchamber.

An incense's smoke lazily ascended, joining the vague misty smoke that hung like a curtain over the bed room, filling the air with the sweet scent of sandalwood.

At the center of the room, the twins lay side by side on the bed, deep in the embrace of slumber.

Their chests rose and fell rhythmically, and their faces were serene, untouched by the strange events unfolding around them.

Seated cross-legged next to Wei Er, Bubai's eyes were closed, and his fingers, positioned like a gun, gently pressed against the forehead of the sleeping Wei Er.

Bubai had an air of concentration about him, broken only by the soft hum of the chant being muttered by his lips.

"Wei Er, your first meeting with Elder Ma... Wei Er, your first meeting with Elder Ma..."

His lips repeatedly uttered the same words. It was as if he was trying to unlock something hidden within the depths of Wei Er's consciousness.

After a while, Bubai opened his eyes, revealing a mix of frustration and determination. "Why did it fail again?"

With a sigh, he lifted his hand from Wei Er's forehead, watching as some ethereal Qi dissipated into the air.

Bubai knew there were no issues with his Qi manipulation. Within the range of his spiritual sense, his control over his true Qi was exemplary, even when it was circulating inside the twins' body.

Plus, he had plenty of practice with the corresponding circulation technique for gathering memory Qi.

To top it off, his established foundation granted him heightened senses toward memory Qi and a strong affinity for the Dream Fishing technique.

So, mastering the basic kinks of this technique was a breeze.

However, searching for specific information was another issue altogether.

This process hinged on proper keywords - needed to guide the target's subconsciousness to recall the corresponding memory.

To unearth memories related to a specific target, it was necessary to possess preemptive knowledge about the victim. This includes details like names, preferably with corresponding titles, and a clear specification of the event or time node.

The less vague the keywords, the greater the likelihood of triggering and accurately retrieving the corresponding memory.

Certainly, some memories could be sealed or blocked due to external influences, like the heavenly oath of cultivators. Attempting to access these memories typically triggers an instinctive resistance, causing the infiltrating true Qi to be rejected and may even cause a backlash.

But in his current case, there wasn't even a reaction. He had already experimented with various altered keywords, but they still rendered zero results.

This suggested a complete absence of relevant memories associated with the keywords he was using.

A subtle frown creased Bubai's forehead, "Could it be they really aren't sent by Ma Pei? Then, who sent them?"

Bubai decided to change his approach.

He folded his arms, forming a series of incantation gestures with his fingers and channeled his true Qi according to the Dream Fishing technique-

Whoosh! His finger tapped on the forehead of Wei Er once more, this time accompanied by a different set of words, "Wei Er, your first orders from your mistress WeiWei... Wei Er, your first orders from your mistress WeiWei..."
