People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

On the chessboard above your head.

The white piece falls.

This was a decisive move, and also the final winning move by Master Xuanmiao in this game.

Short Distance...

She was Changli's past, or rather, she appeared in this mirage through Changli's memories.

It is for this reason that this hidden piece can only produce the greatest effect if it is activated at this time.

As a master, how could Master Xuanmiao not leave something for Changli.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard in the dark space.

The laughter was extremely genuine, it was the simple laugh of an old man who was about to win the chess game.

"So that's how it is." Ling An glanced at Changli who was standing in the air. When she recovered the memory of Changli, she seemed to be touched.

As if reminding her of her master or her childhood memories, a teardrop inadvertently fell from the corner of her eye.

The red fire instantly enveloped her entire body, and her burning gaze also changed color.

The tear passed over the blazing fire and fell towards the rapidly shrinking space.

She is like a goddess descending to the earth, blooming brilliantly.

In the blink of an eye, the fire was about to burn through the space.

On the side, Ling An watched silently.

He felt a familiar gaze.

Chaomei was also in this space, looking at him from somewhere.

Ling An looked up and asked softly, "Do you want to win?"

Although Changli is in an explosive state after the amplification, he is still a long way away from Ling An.

As long as Chao Mei wanted, Ling An could melt the skylight before Chang Li and help her win the game.

In the secret room, red firelight shone in. Chao Mei held the chess piece in one hand, smiled and shook her head: "It's been so long, let him win this game."

Her answer was softly heard by Ling An, and he smiled and nodded: "As you wish."

At this time, the Light-stepping Beast jumped high and pounced on Changli in the air.

Just as its sharp claws were about to touch Lihuo, a sharp spear pierced through its body from top to bottom.

This was a gun summoned by Ling An, which had been in his hand since a while ago and had never been triggered.

It's too fast and too sharp.

After piercing through the Light-stepping Beast in an instant, its momentum remained unabated and it plunged into the chessboard above its head, emitting waves of terrifying fluctuations.

Since Chaomei wanted to give up this game, this gun naturally had other uses.

However, this shot was sensed by the other chess player.

Master Xuan Miao felt the pressure from Ling An's shot, and his hearty and happy laughter suddenly stopped.

At that time, the fire had already burned the top of his head, revealing the starlight from the outside world.

In the secret room on the other side, Master Xuanmiao looked up at the sky, and everything around him began to gradually dissipate.

He let out a long sigh: "Forget it, forget it… Turns out I just gave in, hahahahahaha."

His last voice seemed to be blown away by the fire and disappeared along with the mirage.

Stars twinkle and fall from the sky.

Ling An silently gazed at the eye-catching fire in the sky, several phoenix feathers spread out, and divinity blossomed.

For a moment, Ling An felt as if he was dazzled.

Who else could that person standing in the air be but Tanli?

Her small body stood proudly, and the fire emanating from her surroundings burned away the mirage.

At a certain brief moment, she lowered her head slightly and looked at Ling An, revealing a simple smile.

Then Ling An understood.

The little girl who walked alone on the rugged road holding a glimmer of light in hunger and pain has grown up long ago.

Everything she had experienced in the past had become her present, and the present—

Long separation.

A loud shout was heard in the air.

Like the cry of a phoenix, the mirage shattered into flying points of light.

At this time, it was dark outside, with a bright moon and stars.

The flying points of light and the bright stars in the sky seem to blend into one, which is extremely graceful.

Everything that happened before was gone, and only Ling An, Chao Mei and Chang Li were left standing quietly in the night.

Enjoy this amazing sight that you won't see again even in a hundred years.

In the starlight, Ling An reached out his hand and quickly supported the exhausted Chang Li.

She had just pushed the Lihuo to its extreme, and must be feeling extremely empty at this moment.

"Are you okay?" Chaomei asked with concern.

Chang Li shook his head: "This is the last test left by the master. Chang Li, I did it."

"Let's go back to Hong Town and recuperate first, and we'll talk about other things later."

The night is not over yet, in the hotel of Hong Town.

Changli has already returned to his residence to rest. As heroes who saved Chengxiao Mountain and Jinzhou, Lingan and Chaomei naturally receive preferential treatment.

In the room, Chao Mei looked at Ling An and asked in a low voice: "What did you encounter in the mirage?"

There was a reason why she asked this question. After all, based on her understanding of Ling An, she could detect something different in his every move.

Even the most subtle thoughts.

Maybe she seems a little slow in the eyes of others, but to Ling An, she always seems to be considerate.

Hearing this, Ling An paused and said, "I met a little girl who looked very similar to Chang Li, but her figure, tone and personality were slightly different."

Chao Mei was so smart that she understood clearly and asked, "The long distance in the past?"

There are two parallel timelines in the mirage, and she knows this.

"Yeah." Ling An nodded, "As for you, I did contribute a lot."

Chao Mei put on a helpless look: "I played a whole game of chess."

"With Master Xuanmiao?"

"Yes, although I don't remember what he looks like, I can feel that he is a good person."

Ling An recalled the hearty laughter he heard in the mirage and nodded slightly.

Perhaps Master Xuanmiao really just wanted to play one last game of chess with Chaomei.

But this heartless person in front of me has already forgotten everything about others.

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "Since arriving in Jinzhou, all the information indicates that you have descended here more than once, always disappearing and reappearing. According to your current situation, it is very likely that you lose your past memories every time you descend..."

"What do you want to say?" Chao Mei pursed her lips slightly and looked at Ling An leisurely.

"I want to say," Ling An said seriously, "Is there a possibility that one day you suddenly disappear again, and when you appear again you will forget about me, Changli, Jinxi, and even everyone else."

The room suddenly fell into silence.

This is something that Chaomei herself could not have imagined.

After all, here in Chengxiao Mountain, there is the precedent of Suizhu.

The last time Chaomei appeared in history, she was the master of Sui-usu. I believe that their relationship was very good at that time, or at least they were familiar with each other.

But now it seems that there is no information about the Lord of the Year in Chaomei's memory.

Even she herself couldn't explain the reason for her coming and going.

There is also no guarantee that Ling An will become the same as the current Lord of the Year at a certain moment.

forgotten.
