The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Ling Yan'er thought she had met someone who knew the inside story, but the old man in front of her simply shook his head and said, "What could an old man like me know? I know nothing, absolutely nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, as if he was afraid that someone would catch up with him.

When Ling Yan'er saw him leave, she followed him a few steps forward, but saw that the old man was moving briskly among the crowd. Ling Yan'er didn't catch up with him at all and he disappeared in the vast crowd.

Ling Yan'er stared at the direction he left, feeling a little inexplicably strange. In fact, there weren't many people here, but she couldn't catch up with him. It was really a bit strange.

After a pause, Ling Yan'er turned around and saw Ning Wushuang looking at her with a puzzled expression. Her heart skipped a beat and she asked Ning Wushuang, "What did you just see?"

Ning Wushuang's state did not seem like she had seen what happened before, but Ning Wushuang had clearly been with her the whole time.

Ning Wushuang heard Ling Yan'er's question and shook his head. "Just now, you asked that elder sister if anyone was missing in the city, and she said no. You turned and stood there for a while, then suddenly walked over here. I called you several times, but you didn't respond. What happened to you just now?"

When she saw Ling Yan'er's condition, she thought she had been bewitched by some evil spell, which scared her.

Ning Wushuang thought there might be some new clues, but Ling Yan'er stopped and turned around soberly.

Ling Yan'er looked around and could no longer see any trace of the old man. She found the direction of Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin and pulled Ning Wushuang over there.

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin were originally just waiting for Ling Yan'er to buy breakfast. Although they were leaving separately, they were afraid that if they didn't wait for Ling Yan'er, they would lose her. Seeing Ling Yan'er and Ning Wushuang coming over, Sheng Ze asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Wasn’t it agreed that we should test separately whether those who knew someone was missing and those who didn’t know could see each other?

I haven't even started asking questions yet, and you're already here?

"You just saw me talking to a few people after buying buns." Ling Yan'er took a bite of the bun and asked with a gloomy face.

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin exchanged a glance, and Sheng Ze told them what he had just seen: "What happened? Just after you finished shopping, you started talking to a woman, then turned around and said a few words to an old man before he left. You and Junior Sister Ning chased after him for a few steps before coming here."

Although they didn't necessarily keep their eyes on Ling Yan'er, their consciousness was always paying attention to Ling Yan'er and the other two, so as not to lose them.

Ning Wushuang's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock. "She was talking to an old man just now? I don't remember that!"

She really didn't remember Ling Yan'er ever talking to an old man.

Now, Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin knew what had happened. They were also a little bit unbelievable. Sheng Ze asked Ling Yan'er, "Did you guess that something like this would happen?"

Isn’t this similar to what Ling Yan’er said before, about what happened at the inn that day?

Judging from Ning Wushuang's condition just now, it didn't seem like he didn't see Ling Yan'er talking to the old man, but now he said he had no recollection of it.

Ling Yan'er nodded: "Yes, the waiter's condition that day was the same as Ning Wushuang's. After that person left, he had no memory of his existence at all."

The waiter settled the bill and cleared the table, but said he had not seen anyone.

"Why do we remember?" Sun Youlin asked curiously.

This is also what Ling Yan'er finds strange. Are there any differences between these two people and Ning Wushuang?
