I think my luck is turning around.

Most of today's main tasks have been completed. Now, all that's left is for a few people to tell stories.

"Next." This was the last one. She didn't know how many people she'd met or how many stories she'd heard today. An Ge sat there wearily when the last guest slowly walked in and sat opposite her.

An Ge looked at the person opposite her. She didn't recognize him and had never seen him before, but his gaze made her feel really uncomfortable.

But that gaze was strangely familiar, and An Ge immediately guessed who it was—the first person she had ever met in this world—Lin Jingqing. But An Ge dared not utter that name, for this was the lair of the wild ghosts.

I'm really afraid that if I say the name out loud, the people outside will barge in, and then it will be a lose-lose situation, or perhaps it will be a one-sided casualty for the wild ghost.

"What are you here for?"

I want to see you, to really look at you.

"Actually, we haven't known each other for that long. You can just forget me. There's no need to be so sentimental. It makes me look like a jerk!"

Lin Jingqing was focusing on the key points, but An Ge forgot about him! This is a very important point that must be addressed quickly.

"What! You've forgotten me! Do you know how much effort I went through to come out and see you?"

An Ge simply stared quietly at Lin Jingqing, this unfamiliar face before her. She didn't want to say anything; she was unwilling to admit it.

Lin Jingqing achieved Foundation Establishment in three days, making him one of the top ten geniuses in the near-heavenly sects. However, his master said that his mind was not yet on cultivation, and now he was allowed six months to go down the mountain to rediscover his focus on cultivation.

"Now that you've seen me, please leave!"

"You are so heartless!"

"Heartless? Is this the first time you've met me? Did I not do the same thing in my dreams? I don't believe I maintained that kind of enduring passion in my dreams. Do you really know me?"

Lin Jingqing remained silent. Did he really know An Ge? He did know her, but he couldn't really say he understood her.

“My master gave me six months to learn to calm my mind and cultivate in a calm state.”

An Ge listened, realizing that this was because he hadn't been serious during his cultivation, and his master was making him sever his romantic ties himself! After all, there's a saying that the first thing to do after reaching the shore is to cut off the lover you're attached to!

"So what have you been planning to do for the past six months? Kill me?"

An Ge's tone was unusually cold, as was her usual behavior; she never reminisced about past relationships in front of others. Her rational thinking made her seem particularly cold-blooded.

"No! I just wanted to see you."

Lin Jingqing looked utterly pitiful, his eyes brimming with tears, threatening to spill over at any moment. An Ge looked at the man, thinking: Goodness, he's about to cry? He'd better just let it out!

An Ge remained outwardly calm, simply sitting there watching Lin Jingqing's next move. But a quarter of an hour was almost up! The people outside were already urging them on, and Lin Jingqing, having composed himself, lowered his head and prepared to leave.

As he left, he said, "I'll come back again."

The depth of her gaze and the emotion in her words were truly enough to make one's mind wander. But at that moment, An Ge's attention wasn't on Lin Jingqing's affectionate gaze, but rather on the room next door.

The people outside didn't say anything, and it seemed like it was just normal conversation inside, with no conflict.

An Ge walked to the door, but there was no sound from inside. An Ge simply pushed the door open and went in; they must have talked a lot!

Upon entering, they saw the two sitting face to face, their food untouched. Su Su sat there very stiffly, leaving Ji Ran speechless.

An Ge, naturally unaware of the situation, asked Mu An, who explained: "There were some past grievances, but Ji Ran completely dominated the entire scene. So the current situation is reasonable."

Why don't you recognize each other?

As soon as An Ge said this, Ji Ran rolled her eyes.
