What are you doing in my room?

Before he could finish, he glanced at Yuejun in the next room and, after confirming that she was safe and sound, he composed himself and went into his own room to ask her what was wrong.

Wu Ling stood up and carefully examined Shen Qian's face before finally speaking, "Have we... met somewhere before?"

Shen Qian was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

While Wu Ling was carefully examining Shen Qian, Shen Qian was also examining Wu Ling.

After observation, Shen Qian was basically certain that although the Wu Ling in front of him looked extremely similar to Huo Ling'er and even had some similarities in personality, they were undoubtedly two different people.

This was Shen Qian's first time in the Ancient Times. Wu Ling didn't look very old either. Shen Qian was certain that he had never met her before, which is why he was surprised that Wu Ling would say such a thing.

"When I woke up that day, I had a strange feeling when I saw you."

Wu Ling looked at Shen Qian with bright eyes, a hint of shyness suddenly flashing across her face, "When your hand was on mine, on my..., my heart was beating very fast. I have never felt like this before."

"Is it possible that you had just been detoxified and your blood and energy were recovering, which is why your heart was beating so fast?"

He sighed helplessly.

The two of them share the same trait of having a vivid imagination.

“No.” Wu Ling shook her head firmly. “I know something must be wrong. I spent the first seventeen years of my life in the Wu Clan and never went out into the world. You are not a member of the Wu Clan, so we must have never met. Why do I feel like I know you?”

"There are so many people in this world, who knows if there are any who look exactly like me? That doesn't prove anything..."

Although Shen Qian was also surprised, he still waved his hand calmly.

Wu Ling was taken aback and looked at Shen Qian with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qian noticed something was amiss.

"How do you know about the 'Great Thousand Worlds'?" Wu Ling seemed quite surprised. She said blankly, "Even the leaders of the other four major clans may not know about it. If Father hadn't been traveling through the Netherworld, he wouldn't have known about this."

Shen Qian had only casually uttered the words "the vast world" a moment ago, but upon hearing the meaning behind Wu Ling's words, he turned his head in surprise and asked, "What about the vast world?"

In fact, Shen Qian had already vaguely realized the problem.

The concept of the vast world was only proposed after the emergence of modern martial arts "schools". How could there be a similar concept in ancient times?

"You don't know?" Wu Ling was taken aback, but she didn't hide anything from Shen Qian. "It is rumored that after this Battle of Ten Thousand Races, the gods will open the Three Realms and divide them into ten thousand races. At that time, there will be the terms Great Thousand World, Middle Thousand World, and Small Thousand World."

"So that's when the Three Realms were separated..."

He murmured before sinking down.

He had been wondering why this ancient continent felt so different from Earth. Not only was its area many times larger than Earth's, but its terrain was also completely different from Earth's.

For example, the territory of the Spirit Witch Clan alone is much larger than the entire Earth.

"The rankings in this Battle of Ten Thousand Races will directly determine the situation after the division of the Three Realms. It is said that as long as the geniuses of each race can rank at the top, they will have the opportunity to follow the gods into the Heavenly Realm to cultivate."

Wu Ling seemed to share a sense of longing, "It is said that the Heavenly Realm, built with the power of the gods, is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also has a very different flow of time compared to the outside world. It is said that one day in heaven is a year on earth!"

He remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

He wasn't particularly interested in entering the Celestial Realm, not only because he didn't belong to this era, but also because... he already knew the so-called fate of the Celestial Realm.

If the desolate land he once visited was indeed the so-called celestial realm.

However, if such secrets still exist in this battle of all races, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"It's getting late, you should go back." Shen Qian had no interest in continuing the discussion with Wu Ling.

"You seem to be deliberately distancing yourself from me." Wu Ling stepped in front of Chen Qian, asking in confusion, "Why is that?"

“We didn’t have much interaction to begin with, so there’s no point in talking about being distant.”

He let out a soft "Hai" before sinking in.

“But you saved my life.” Wu Ling stared intently at Shen Qian. “My Wu clan cultivates the mind. I cannot ignore this cause and effect, otherwise my future ‘Dao’ will not be perfect!”

"Then you can rest assured." Shen Qian grinned, "I don't need your repayment."

Before Shen Qian pushed her away, Wu Ling suddenly turned her head, her eyes shining as she stared at Shen Qian. "I'm sure now, you must know me, right?"

"Where did this come from?" Shen Qian paused in his act of closing the door.

“I am the Ninth Princess of the You Clan, while you are just a genius from a small clan in a remote area. Not to mention the difference in rank and status, you don’t even have basic respect for men and women.”

As Wu Ling spoke, she couldn't help but look down, her gaze settling on Chen Qian's hand resting on her waist.

Wu Ling was wearing a see-through top, and the delicate area that had been pressed down by Shen Qian was exposed.

Shen Qian coughed awkwardly and quickly withdrew his hand.

He hadn't expected Wu Ling to be so sensitive. It was indeed because he was too familiar with Huo Ling'er that his movements before sinking were unconsciously somewhat casual.

"You must have some kind of relationship with me, but what exactly is it?" Wu Ling seemed a little confused, probably because she searched her memory but couldn't find any scene related to the young man in front of her.

You're overthinking it.
