Another World: The Failed Magician

Lu Xuan poured two glasses of water and placed them on the table.

After they sat down, they fell into a brief silence.

Seeing Li Mengyu's conflicted expression, Lu Xuan did not interrupt the tranquility.

Or perhaps he simply didn't want to disrupt that peace.

A long time passed.

Li Mengyu finally managed to speak.

"My sister told me not long ago that the sect leader has completely taken control of the sect."

Li Mengyu stopped talking.

Lu Xuan forced out his signature smile and took over the conversation.

"So they want you to return to the Eastern Dragon Empire."

Li Mengyu nodded.

“Sure, it was because of the internal turmoil within the Qingxin Sword Sect that President Zhang Quan asked me to bring you to the Loca Federation. Now that the turmoil is over and the situation in the Eastern Dragon Empire has stabilized, and your family is there, it is only right that you go back.”

Li Mengyu stared blankly at Lu Xuan.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everything she just said is true.

But Li Mengyu was unwilling to leave at all. She brought this up in the hope that Lu Xuan would persuade her to stay, because ever since Lu Xuan came back, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her and unwilling to communicate with her.

She hoped to use this opportunity to have a proper talk with Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's answer left her speechless.

Li Mengyu sensed that although Lu Xuan had been smiling all this time, based on her experience with him, she could tell that the more he acted like that, the more it meant he was hiding something.

Moreover, this matter is very likely related to him.

Li Mengyu pouted in dissatisfaction.

A feeling of grievance welled up in her heart.

Li Mengyu suddenly stood up.

Lu Xuan was also startled.

Li Mengyu had been looking down in frustration, but suddenly she stood up, which surprised Lu Xuan.

Li Mengyu stared at Lu Xuan with dissatisfaction.

Feeling a little embarrassed by the girl's stare, Lu Xuan turned his head slightly away.

This scene, witnessed by Li Mengyu, intensified the indescribable grievances in the girl's heart.

Li Mengyu grabbed Lu Xuan's collar and pulled his head back from the side.

Lu Xuan was forced to look Li Mengyu in the eye.

What's wrong with me today?

Lu Xuan was caught off guard by Li Mengyu's unusual behavior.

Why? (??v?v??)

Li Mengyu spoke in a very aggrieved tone.

"What? Why?"

Lu Xuan pretended not to understand.

And he wanted to turn his head back to the side.

But Li Mengyu would never give him that chance again.

Li Mengyu went all out.

She pulled Lu Xuan back again.

She stared intently at him.

"Why do you want me to leave so badly? Do you hate me that much?"

Lu Xuan looked at the girl's clear eyes, which were filled with tears.

The words I was about to say suddenly became hard to utter.

Lu Xuan was about to say something else when the pain in his head returned.

The pain seemed to be reminding Lu Xuan of his current predicament.

Lu Xuan gritted his teeth.

She gave a soft "hmm".

After saying "yes," Lu Xuan felt as if something inside him had shattered.

An indescribable pain shot through my chest.

Just when Lu Xuan thought Li Mengyu might throw a tantrum and return to the Eastern Dragon Empire, things took an unexpected turn once again.

Li Mengyu suddenly leaned in close.

Lu Xuan felt a gentle touch on his lips.

Lu Xuan's brain short-circuited for a moment.

He even forgot the pain.

Lu Xuan only recovered when he felt a slight pain in the corner of his mouth.

Li Mengyu's movements were very clumsy, and he even cut his lips a little.

Even so, Lu Xuan still felt very warm.

Everything that just happened felt like a dream.

Lu Xuan felt the pain in his head had even eased considerably.

Li Mengyu had already sat back down.

At this moment, Li Mengyu blushed furiously.

But she still kept her eyes fixed on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan looked at the girl, her cheeks flushed, as she gazed at him intently.

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly.

Why go to this extent?

Li Mengyu snorted coldly.

"Do you think I'm still the same person I just met? Don't you think I understand what you're thinking? You just want to drive me away."

Lu Xuan smiled helplessly.

"Since I've already kissed you, you have to take responsibility for me."

The girl blushed and said something quite unreasonable.

Lu Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, but he still said it aloud.

"Perhaps returning to the Eastern Dragon Empire is the best choice for you."

"Didn't you already know my answer? Tell me, what's wrong with you?!"

Li Mengyu stared at him intently as she spoke.

Lu Xuan looked at Li Mengyu, and the girl looked back at him defiantly.

Lu Xuan ultimately couldn't resist the girl's insistence.

He told the girl everything that happened inside the Silver Dragon Secret Realm, including his missing memories of his past life.

Lu Xuan deliberately concealed the fact that he occasionally spaced out and had headaches, and he didn't know why he was doing this.

But Lu Xuan just didn't want Li Mengyu to know these things.

After listening, Li Mengyu thought about it seriously for a while.

"Hmm, it's nothing, it's just a memory from a past life. As long as you remember the present, that's enough."

Li Mengyu's nonchalant tone left Lu Xuan completely bewildered.

No, are you here to comfort people?

Also, is this still Li Mengyu?

Lu Xuan felt that the girl in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

In the past, he always dominated the girl when they were together, but today the roles were completely reversed!

Li Mengyu seemed to see through Lu Xuan's thoughts.

The girl smiled smugly.

"I'm sure I'll improve, okay? I've learned a lot from Charlotte this past month."

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"you…"

Li Mengyu looked at him intently.

Everyone is very worried about you.

"this…"

"You think you've hidden it well? Actually, everyone has seen through it, but they just don't know how to tell you."

Lu Xuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

It turns out I was just overthinking things.

"Alright, tell me honestly, what else?"

"Explain what?"

Lu Xuan continued to play dumb.

"Hey! I've already taken such the initiative, are you still going to keep playing dumb with me?"

Lu Xuan remained silent for a while.

"If it were just the loss of memories of your past life, you wouldn't be like this. There must be something else going on. Give me an honest explanation. Don't try to fool me today."

Knowing he couldn't fool them, Lu Xuancai spoke with difficulty.

He expressed his thoughts.

“After losing my memory, I often get headaches and sometimes find myself spacing out, and Rhodes didn’t tell me any of this, but I think he didn’t know either. He doesn’t really understand the Chaos Gate either. My future will definitely be affected by this thing, and I might not have a future at all. I don’t care what happens to me, but you can’t.”

At that moment, Lu Xuan felt a gentle touch on his lips again.

This time, however, Li Mengyu only touched it lightly before pulling back.

She was actually a little scared.

Having no experience whatsoever, she looked at the cut on Lu Xuan's lip and, fearing he would be disgusted, only touched it lightly this time.

After seeing Lu Xuan's brain freeze again.

Li Mengyu took the initiative to go up to him and gently hugged his head.

"It's okay, I'll always be with you."
