Time flies by like a fleeting moment, each minute and second seemingly stretched out infinitely.

An hour passed quietly. During this time, the two occasionally interacted and exchanged words, and they actually looked a bit like a "apprentice" and "teacher".

When Tong Guang heard Jiang Chenyan mention the "Gate of All Wonders," he couldn't help but stiffen, and an indescribable sense of unease welled up in his heart.

I felt like I'd heard it somewhere before, and a sense of familiarity arose for no reason.

But she was certain that she had never heard of or seen it in the clan, neither among the knowledgeable elders nor in the library.

How strange... This faint sense of familiarity left her quite puzzled.

It seemed to come from the depths of a distant memory, but she couldn't recall it at all.

Jiang Chenyan continued in a detailed explanation: "The Gate of All Wonders is profound and mysterious. According to the book, this method originated from the Jade Immortal Clan and is an innate talent they possess. Once cultivated to the highest level, one can freely travel between spaces, as if one can freely switch between nothingness and solidity."

Upon hearing this, Tong Guang's heart trembled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Traveling through the void? Doesn't that mean she might be able to return to her original world?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious. "Where can I find the Jade Immortal Clan?"

Jiang Chenyan smiled slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness and regret: "The book clearly states that the Jade Immortal Clan disappeared without a trace ten thousand years ago. Along with this heaven-defying technique, it also vanished without a trace."

what!

They actually perished?

Tong Guang was struck dumb, and he instantly became disheartened, his once bright eyes losing their luster!

Does this mean her hope of returning home has been shattered? An overwhelming wave of disappointment washed over her, engulfing her completely…

Noticing the girl's sudden change in mood, Jiang Chenyan was taken aback and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

"Tong Yu?"

Still speechless!

He paused for a moment.

"Tong Guang!" Jiang Chenyan emphasized, placing his hand on her shoulder and gently shaking it.

The girl, suddenly snapping out of her daze, quickly looked up and tried to explain!

"I...nothing..."

Jiang Chenyan then noticed that the girl's face was pale and her eyes were dull.

A slight jolt went through him; he wondered what had suddenly happened to the girl. It seemed... it had started when she began talking about the destruction of the Jade Immortal Clan. But... that shouldn't have anything to do with her!

Jiang Chenyan subconsciously softened his voice!

"Tong Guang, if I may, I... am willing to be your listener!"

The man's voice was as gentle and soft as a spring breeze, warming the heart of anyone who heard it.

Can I really...really say it?

This was the most troubling secret weighing on her heart.

Tong Guang hesitated...

No...no, no one knows this secret, and probably no one would choose to believe her.

Tong Guang bit her delicate lips, her gaze lowered. Suddenly, she changed the subject: "So much time has passed; my friends must be getting impatient! Let's call it a day."

Thank you so much for today!

Seeing that she was clearly avoiding answering, Jiang Chenyan sighed inwardly.

It's understandable that she wouldn't open up to someone she had just met.

But he himself, for some reason, has become so impatient?

A slight smile played on his lips, as gentle as a spring breeze: "No need for thanks."

"I'll take you down!"

Tong Guang quickly waved his hand, "No need to trouble yourself, I can manage on my own!"

Jiang Chenyan stopped insisting and simply stood there quietly, watching that pretty figure disappear around the corner of the stairs...

Inside the hall, Ayu, who had just finished reading the book, stretched her body contentedly, yawned widely, and moved her somewhat stiff limbs.

Seeing the girl come downstairs, Ayu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed.

At this moment, Ayu was completely immersed in the story described in the book and did not notice the downcast look on the girl's face.

He said excitedly, "You know what? The book I just read, called 'Retracing the Way Back Home,' is absolutely wonderful!"

The words "return to the way you came" echoed in Tong Guang's ears, flashing through his mind like lightning, instantly waking him up from a dream and bringing him sudden enlightenment.

She excitedly grabbed Ayu's arm and exclaimed with delight, "Ayu, thank you so much!"

That's right! Since she was able to travel through time and space to this unfamiliar world, there must be some way for her to go back.

In this vast world, there must be others who know this mysterious method.

She's such a silly rabbit; she never even thought of this before, and has been heartbroken for so long for nothing.

Tong Guang slapped his head in regret.

A bewildered Ayu was completely baffled. She couldn't understand why the woman had suddenly thanked her.

If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be him thanking her!

Before he could figure it out, he saw Tong Guang hopping and skipping out of the house like a little rabbit.

Seeing this, he quickly followed...

Jiang Chenyan stood quietly by the window on the second floor, his gaze fixed on the two people who walked out of the Treasure Pavilion. The girl's face was beaming with a bright smile.

As if infected, a faint smile involuntarily spread across his lips.

It's good that she's alright!
