I'm not a drama god

During this period, Chen Ling also tried to contact Jian Changsheng through a thought storm.

For some reason, Jian Changsheng's thoughts seemed to be blocked by some force, or perhaps he was asleep. Chen Ling had searched repeatedly, but she just couldn't find Jian Changsheng's thoughts...

“…I understand,” Chen Ling sighed softly.

“Mr. Chen, don’t worry,” Teacher Ye comforted him. “The Gray Realm is so vast that even the Fusion Faction can’t cover every corner… Perhaps he’s still somewhere else. We’ll let you know as soon as we find him.”

"Ah."

"By the way, Mr. Chen," Teacher Ye said, as if remembering something, "how has that child been lately?"

"J of Diamonds? He's adapting very well."

"That's fine then..."

Teacher Ye seemed somewhat moved, "This child has truly had a difficult journey... He's also the only one so far who has single-handedly suppressed the fused calamity consciousness within him. Initially, I was grooming him as my successor, but I never expected him to voluntarily follow you..."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "It's not that I'm trying to steal your man; he chose him himself."

"Haha, of course I didn't mean to blame Mr. Chen. In fact, I know that the value he created in the Twilight Society is definitely much greater than that in the Fusion Faction." Teacher Ye took a sip of tea, looked out the window at the sky, and sighed.

"His talent is truly rare and hard to come by... I wonder when the next genius like him will appear."

Chen Ling paused slightly in the cup.

In a daze, a familiar figure appeared in his mind. He was wearing a tattered vagrant's cloak, and his skin, covered in runes, was hidden under the sleeves. He was standing on the street in Frost Street, grinning at him.

Chen Ling closed her eyes and slowly placed the cup back on the table.

"Maybe……"

He will never appear again.

Teacher Ye was taken aback. He looked at Chen Ling with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Chen Ling didn't say anything more, but naturally changed the subject:

"Have you gotten any results regarding the distribution of the Crimson Heaven Sect that I asked you to investigate before?"

"Have."

Teacher Ye took a map out of the drawer and laid it flat on the table. It was a hand-drawn map of the Gray Realm. Although it looked somewhat rudimentary, if this were to be brought to the human realm, it would absolutely be enough to drive all the higher-ups of the human realm into a frenzy!

The Gray Realm has always been a symbol of mystery. Although after hundreds of years of exploration, the human realm has a general idea of ​​the locations of the major calamity territories, such a detailed map of the Gray Realm is probably the only one of its kind in the world, even clearly marking the terrain and landforms.

At this moment, several red circles of different sizes are scattered across the map, standing out prominently.

"The red circles represent the locations of all the Jiangtian Sect branches we've identified so far. The larger the circle, the more people are in that branch," Teacher Ye explained, pointing to the red circles.

Chen Ling glanced at the branch headquarters, memorized their locations, and nodded, saying:

Thank you.

Chen Ling chatted briefly with Teacher Ye for a few more minutes, then finished her tea and stood up.

"Are you leaving already?" Teacher Ye asked.

"I'm going to visit each of these branch headquarters one by one," Chen Ling said, flicking her sleeve. "I'll come back to see you after I'm done with these things."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

Chen Ling did not refuse and walked out of the office with Teacher Ye. They slowly walked down the steps of the mother tree, and familiar classrooms and dormitories came into view.

The fusion faction in this world isn't much different from the world of the Fifth Generation. Chen Ling had lived here for a period of time and was very familiar with every plant and tree. At this moment, the mother tree in her memory overlapped with the mother tree before her, giving her a feeling of being in another world...

Hello, Teacher Ye!

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"..."

Every student who passed by greeted them warmly and proactively. Some of these people were familiar faces from Chen Ling's memory, while others were not... As the timeline shifted, many people who should have been taken in by the Fusion Faction did not repeat the mistakes of their previous lives. Some children who did not belong to the Fusion Faction came here by chance.

Chen Ling's gaze swept across the children's faces one by one. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned to ask Teacher Ye:

"Do you have a child named Xi Xiaotao here?"

“…Xi Xiaotao?” Teacher Ye shook her head.

"No, there is no such person."

Xi Xiaotao's absence from the Fusion Sect suggests that either she was never born, or her life trajectory has changed... She did not suffer the same misfortune as in the previous world, was forced to separate from her brother Xi Renjie, experienced various hardships, or meet a tragic end like in her previous life.

Perhaps she is now living happily with her brother under the aurora borealis.

Not only Xi Xiaotao, but now with their early intervention, all the children of the Fusion Sect can escape the shadow of the calamity... This time, they will not repeat the same mistakes and suffer such a miserable end.

This time, he will make up for the regrets of the entire fusion faction.

Chen Ling stood still in front of the Fusion Sect's gate, glanced back at the mother tree filled with laughter and joy, and her pair of vermilion earrings swayed silently, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chen?" Teacher Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Ling withdrew her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips:

"……fine."

"I'm just... a little happy."

Xidao Ancient Collection.

Knock knock knock—

As dusk fell, Li Laide, holding a small bowl, knocked on Wenren You's door.

Soon, a figure opened the door, and Li Laide saw Wenren You, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately called out:

"Third Uncle Master."

Wenren You smiled, but his smile froze when his gaze fell on the small bowl in the other person's hand...

"Nephew, this bowl is too small." Wenren You's expression was somewhat strange. "Is life outside that hard these days? Is everyone starving?"

Li Laid: ...

"No, Uncle-Master... it's just that I haven't been eating much lately," Li Laid explained.

Hearing this, Wenren You remained silent with a stern face. He simply snatched the small bowl from Li Laide's hand, coldly tossed out a sentence, "Come in first, the food will be ready soon," and then walked straight to the kitchen.

Li Lai De entered the room and found that the other senior and junior masters had already arrived. Ning Ru Yu, Luan Mei, and Mo Jiao were sitting at the table chatting, while Chou Jiao was sitting on the ground with a rice bucket in his arms, still playing with his reflection in the glass, flicking pebbles with great interest.

Seeing Li Lai De enter, Mo Jiao smiled slightly and patted the seat next to him:

"Junior brother, don't just stand there, sit down quickly."

"Yes, Senior Uncle."

Perhaps because he hadn't been back for a long time, or perhaps because the room was full of seniors like his uncles and aunts, Li Laide seemed a little reserved. He sat down respectfully next to Mo Jiao without saying a word.

"Nephew, you've been away for so long, how have you been doing?" Mo Jiao asked proactively.

I'm on a business trip today, so I'm sending my greetings to everyone.
