I think my luck is turning around.

An Ge followed her memory and walked out. She had just reached the steps when she went up to the Near Heaven Sect and down to the mountain path!

An Ge naturally chose the lower route, though it's unclear what her reasoning was, as she glanced back at the steps leading up the mountain.

A figure was clearly visible; I felt like I'd seen that back view somewhere before, but I couldn't quite place it.

The steps are lined with lush, verdant trees that look vibrant and full of life. Even though there are a few dead trees in the forest, they do not detract from its overall beauty.

Even a single piece of dead wood can be a scenic view, with its own unique charm.

The man continued walking uphill without looking back, but the sword in his hand, the bloodstains behind him, and his disheveled hair suggested that he had also been through a fierce battle!

An Ge stopped thinking about it and just kept walking down, no longer caring about anything else. Or perhaps An Ge had already figured out who that person was, and just wanted to escape, to get away from this place where something unexpected might happen as quickly as possible.

Living your own life well is the most important thing, so don't think about other things. An Ge was also very happy to go down the mountain.

But then, the man looked back down the mountain. An Ge had already skipped and hopped down the mountain. Although the action was somewhat dangerous, her joyful mood greatly enhanced the journey.

The bloodstains on his face were very obvious, and it appeared to be splattered, indicating that the murder was committed in person.

His scarlet eyes were vacant, staring blankly at the place below the mountain, as if he sensed that someone important to him was getting further and further away!

Tears slid down her cheeks, washing away some of the bloodstains. The tears dripped down, their crimson color washing away the scarlet in her eyes.

"An Ge".

He muttered to himself that he knew An Ge had really left, and that he had missed An Ge once again.

He came out of his uncle's house alone, and just as he approached Zhou Ganshan, he encountered the wild ghost. He immediately went into battle mode, drew his sword, and confronted it.

Although there were quite a few wild ghosts, Lin Jingqing, with his own talent and the guidance of the "Mountain God," could easily defeat these mere mortals.

However, Lin Jingqing could never control the energy within his body, as if it were about to devour him at any moment, yet it seemed willing to submit to Lin Jingqing.

So it only took over Lin Jingqing's body when Lin Jingqing couldn't hold on any longer. Or rather, it didn't take over! It just helped Lin Jingqing fight. But it seemed to enjoy the feeling of killing, and always had a kind of addictive killing feeling.

This time, Lin Jingqing looked down the mountain and realized he had missed it again!

But she also felt somewhat unwilling. What was originally a gentle call of her name turned into a heart-wrenching scream, as if she was afraid that if she spoke too softly, the person coming down the mountain would not hear her.

"An Ge!"

The sound echoed throughout the mountains and forests, startling the birds and beasts. After a brief commotion, everything returned to calm without any response. It seemed that An Ge was really going to be separated from him!

Although this shout didn't bring An Ge back, it did wake Song Tianqing up. It was a shout filled with gossip!

Song Tianqing had never heard this voice before. Good heavens! Is this An Ge's boyfriend? Of course, he had to take a good look.

Song Tianqing quickly tidied himself up, at least to the point of being properly dressed. He stood up and looked down from the air, only to see a handsome man with disheveled hair standing on the steps leading up the mountain.

"Wow! Those fox eyes! He looks really crazy! Who is this guy? Is he An Ge's boyfriend?"

At this moment, the five people on this side had all gathered together and were enjoying the melon in the air.

"Probably! Anyway, An Ge came to the city with this guy the day she entered. Because she didn't have a pass, this guy was the one who urgently got it for her. In any case, An Ge must be a very important person to Lin Jingqing."

"Wow! You really are from the guesthouse in Linnan City. You have so much gossip! Looks like I'll have to come over every now and then to get some juicy gossip!"

Looking at the silence below, Song Tianqing felt that the matter was over and it was time to go back. They gradually returned to the farm.

It was only then that Song Tianqing realized that An Ge was missing!

"Lang Yan, where did An Ge go?"

"An Ge wants to go out and travel, to make her life more exciting."

"They just left like that? I was just about to get some juicy gossip, just about to ask the person in charge! Why did they just leave!"

"It's good that he left. The outside world is indeed wonderful." Song Tianqing muttered to himself, probably because he hadn't met someone like him in a long time.

Anyway, since her master went into seclusion, she has rarely felt a sense of belonging like she has these past few days! Although An Ge is not from the same time and space, at least they both live in a peaceful era and in a prosperous country.

This sense of belonging is different; it's different from having a home. It's the feeling of no longer being alone.

Lin Jingqing looked down the mountain, but there was no movement. She really wasn't coming back! He wouldn't chase after her; she was someone Lin Jingqing couldn't keep, someone he couldn't hold onto like the wind.

Lin Jingqing simply turned back and continued looking at the path leading up the mountain. It seemed that this climb would be a difficult journey. Lin Jingqing was going to the Near Heaven Sect to learn what he wanted to learn.

Perhaps at some point, An Ge will need me too! Then I'll become stronger so that An Ge will always have a reliable support!
