The woman and the fox stared intently at the man, and as time passed, the distance between them grew shorter and closer.

Ye Ying looked closely and was shocked – the man approaching was none other than Ji Wuchen, the substitute teacher she had met in the 1960s!

And this is that same Mr. Ji who clearly lacked the ability to help others but insisted on showing off, ultimately making a complete mess of things! I really don't know whether to say he's too kind-hearted or too nosy...

So here's the question: why would Teacher Ji Wuchen appear in a place like this?

Could it be that he, like me, stumbled into this place by some strange coincidence?

For a moment, countless questions flooded Ye Ying's mind, leaving her completely baffled.

Just as Ye Ying was lost in thought, the man seemed to have noticed her presence. Without hesitation, he took a step and walked towards Ye Ying, his eyes revealing an undisguised joy.

"I never expected to meet you here again." When the two finally faced each other, Ji Wuchen broke the silence and spoke first.

From his tone, you could tell that he was in a very good mood, and even had a bit of barely suppressed excitement and agitation.

Faced with Ji Wuchen's sudden and enthusiastic greeting, Ye Ying did not let her guard down. A hint of vigilance flashed in her beautiful and sharp eyes, like an eagle scrutinizing the mysterious man in front of her with great sharpness and severity.

Ye Ying frowned slightly and parted her cherry lips: "Teacher Ji, why are you here?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried a hint of barely perceptible doubt.

Ji Wuchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he had already seen through everything.

Ji Wuchen smiled slightly, "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement. I have been searching for something, and only after entering this mysterious space did I realize that perhaps the answer I am looking for is here."

He said softly, "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement. I have been searching for something, searching all the way, just to find a hidden treasure. Until I stepped into this mysterious space..." and met you. At this point, Ji Wuchen's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked at Ye Ying meaningfully.

Meanwhile, Ye Ying, who was standing to the side, had already been drawn to the treasures mentioned in Ji Wuchen's previous sentences, so she didn't hear Ji Wuchen say, "I met you."

Where's Xiaobai?

He remained silent to the side.

When Ji Wuchen said he had met you, the little white fox Tianyao's furry face revealed an all-knowing auntie smile, and a sly glint flashed in its eyes.

Ji Wuchen continued, "It wasn't until I arrived in this area that I suddenly realized—perhaps only here can I find the answer I've been searching for." His tone was calm as still water, yet it seemed to carry countless profound meanings, arousing one's curiosity.

After hearing Ji Wuchen's words, Ye Ying was skeptical...

However, at this moment, Ji Wuchen aroused her curiosity, and her thirst for knowledge burned like a raging fire, which she could not control at all.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Ye Ying continued to press for answers:
