"The situation just now was urgent. If it had been any later, you would have come face to face with them. I didn't want things to get out of hand, so I brought you out... If you're angry, tell me and I'll apologize."
"I really didn't follow you on purpose. It was just a coincidence... yes, a coincidence."
"Actually, I was going to look for you, but I just happened to see you going out..."
Ning Zhishui watched him explaining himself. Perhaps because she had been silent, his expression gradually became a little panicked and uneasy, as if something was out of his control.
Ning Zhishui finally spoke at this time, "It was a little dangerous just now, but I was well prepared before coming here. They won't see my face, and I have enough life-saving items in my Qiankun space, so I am confident that I can escape safely."
There were some unexpected things happening today. We wasted too much time in the mine, which led to a small problem.
But Ning Zhishui would not risk her life just to steal some crystals. She had plenty of poison powders and talismans in her Qiankun space, not to mention the life-saving items given to her by her master.
She was confident that she could escape from Zhang Su's place without showing her face. At most, she would be slightly injured, but with medicine, it would not be a problem.
It was just that Dongfang Jing's sudden appearance made everything end more smoothly. All the preparations made by Ning Zhishui were useless, and she did not confront Zhang Su head-on.
"I know you can handle it." Dongfang Jing looked into her eyes, "But I can't just do nothing."
Ning Zhishui chuckled, found a rock to sit on, bent one leg, and placed his sword on it. "I thought you weren't going to explain this to me."
Dongfang Jing was stunned, something flashed across his eyes, he suddenly became nervous, and pursed his light pink lips.
"No wonder I felt you were both familiar and unfamiliar the first time I saw you. But I didn't recognize your face, and I had never heard of the name Dongfang Jing, so I thought it was my illusion." Ning Zhishui said.
"But every time I see you later, the feeling of familiarity grows stronger."
"Until today, I saw the Oriental tribe's divine bird, Huanfeng, with my own eyes." Ning Zhishui smiled. "The master of Huanfeng is the young master of the Oriental tribe... Should I call you Dongfang Jing, or Jing Liu?"
The two words Jing Liu made Dongfang Jing's breathing stop for a moment.
"Whether it's Dongfang Jing or Jing Liu, it's me." He sighed softly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it."
In his previous life, he followed the rules of the Eastern tribe and did not reveal his true face or real name.
He met Ning Zhishui when he was using the pseudonym Jing Liu, and they experienced several adventures together.
But later, there was a family change in the Dongfang clan, and he returned to the clan in order to regain his position. After several years of fighting, he finally got back what belonged to him and sat firmly on the position of the new head of the clan.
The clan had many old customs, and in order to fulfill his father's last wish, he devoted all his energy to clan affairs and could no longer travel out of the clan as freely as he did when he was young.
So, for Ning Zhishui, it was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Because of the regrets in his previous life, Dongfang Jing in this life showed his true face from the very beginning, stood in front of her and told her his identity.
But because of some panic, he did not dare to say directly that he was Jing Liu.
But he didn't expect that she was more perceptive than he thought and had already recognized him.
After Dongfang Jing finished speaking, Ning Zhishui and he were silent for a moment.
Then, Dongfang Jing told him about his previous life when he left without saying goodbye, and what happened after he left.
"So, you, like me, have memories of your past life?" Ning Zhishui confirmed this guess, but at the same time, he was puzzled. "This kind of thing is unheard of. What exactly is going on?"
Why did he and Dongfang Jing both retain their memories and return to their youth?
"I have also been thinking about the answer. I guess it may be related to the golden light on the ladder to heaven, that is, the fairy energy." Dongfang Jing said thoughtfully.
When he first met Ning Zhishui, he didn't know that Ning Zhishui was "reborn" just like him.
It was not until he observed it several times later that he felt it was getting weirder and weirder, because it was obvious that Ning Zhishui's trajectory was completely different from that in his previous life.
So although the fact of being reborn is indeed bizarre, it seems that this is the only explanation.
After confirming that Ning Zhishui was the same as himself, Dongfang Jing was even more afraid to recognize her because he was worried that she would resent him for leaving without saying goodbye.
But he has also been looking for an answer, an answer to why the two of them came back to life.
In the end, I felt that the only reason seemed to be the fairy spirit.
——
Straight up into the sky.
But Ning Zhishui was not looking at this, but... a bird on the top of the cliff.
The bird has a golden head and a blue tail. It is very beautiful, and its tail feathers are especially beautiful.
At this moment, it was swooping down, its smooth and picturesque figure, whistling through the wind, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the two of them.
The closer we got, the bigger its size became. It looked like a small flying boat, definitely not the size of an ordinary bird.
"Come up."
The person behind him exerted a little force and Ning Zhishui flew into the air. When he reacted, he had already landed on the back of the bird.
Her body was unstable and swaying a little. The person behind her was silent for a moment, then reached out and put his arm around her waist.
Her back rested against his chest, and she could feel the rise and fall of his breathing.
The bird flapped its wings and flew smoothly into the air, seemingly effortlessly and without even making much noise.
A gust of wind blew towards Ning Zhishui's face, causing it to hurt.
She watched the spiritual spring beneath her feet getting farther and farther away, and seemed to be able to faintly see the Zhang family searching in the distance.
After flying to the top of the cliff, the bird did not stop, but continued to flap its wings and fly all the way. Everything below seemed extremely quiet. Ning Zhishui looked up and saw a bright full moon.
Ning Zhishui turned his head to look at the person behind him. The moonlight made his face look as white as jade. Under his long eyelashes were dark eyes, and he was looking at her without blinking.
Ning Zhishui looked at him for a moment, then turned away indifferently, leaving the man sighing softly.
After a while, the bird stopped in a woodland, where a young man was standing with his neck stretched out.
"Young Master, you are finally back!"
Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The bird landed on the ground, shook its body, and then its body became smaller and smaller, and even its color and pattern changed.
Until it became the size of a sparrow, a gray bird, and then landed on Jiang Yun's shoulder.
"Go get some food." Dongfang Jing said to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun agreed, looked at the young master, then looked at the silent Ning Zhishui, and tactfully took his leave.
"Come sit here."
Dongfang Jing walked towards a rocky beach, found a flat stone and patted it.
Ning Zhishui stood there without moving.
