Chu Nian: "I just informed them of the information I received in a timely manner."
Lin Jingting: "They are too weak to deal with those aliens."
Chu Nian: "You are indeed very strong, but if you encounter those aliens, you can only become their experimental subject. You can't withstand the full-scale attack of their interstellar combat weapons."
Lin Jingting thought of the two interstellar warships and mechs that Chu Nian had given him, which were faster than his own flying and sword-riding skills, and knew that what Chu Nian said was true.
He said, "Let's leave here and go on an interstellar journey."
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Have you been lying in that coffin for too long? All you think about is traveling!"
Lin Jingting: "I don't want to get involved in these mortal affairs."
Chu Nian: "Now it's not just a matter for mortals anymore, it's also about aliens. I told you, if those aliens find you, they'll definitely lock you up in a lab and study you in all sorts of ways."
Lin Jingting: "With your warships at our disposal, we have no need to fear them."
Chu Nian: "Even so, but..." One of the original owner's wishes was to improve the living environment for humans.
Not only has the human environment not improved, but we are also facing aliens.
Lin Jingting pondered for a moment and said, "You... travel to different worlds, do you have a mission to complete?"
Chu Nian gave a faint "hmm" and looked out the window with a touch of sadness.
She thought of Lin Jingting in the underworld, wondering how many years older he was then compared to now. How many lifetimes would it take for someone with his personality to become like that?
Lin Jingting, perhaps sensing something amiss in her mood, said in a low voice, "You don't seem too happy about bringing this up."
Chu Nian smiled and said, "I was just thinking about some people and some things."
Lin Jingting: "Who is it and what's going on?"
Chu Nian smiled but did not answer.
Lin Jingting: "Just don't think about the people and things that make you unhappy."
Chu Nian laughed again and said, "Your thoughts are quite similar to mine... well, I should say they're quite similar to mine in the past!"
She used to think that as a transmigrator, she would leave once her mission was completed and shouldn't get too involved with the characters in these worlds. However, after encountering Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong so many times, it was really too difficult to avoid getting involved.
She couldn't help but say, "When you feel indebted to someone, it's hard to let go of them completely, and it's also hard not to think about them."
But to ask her to fall in love and get married like other women, and spend her whole life with one person, oh my god, just thinking about it is terrifying, it gives me goosebumps.
She absolutely did not want to live that kind of life. She still felt that maintaining the master-disciple relationship was good, and just watched Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiao Lin live happily ever after.
Lin Jingting hurriedly pressed, "Who is it that makes you unable to let go? Who makes it so hard for you not to think about them?"
Chu Nian stared at him helplessly: Why does this guy's tone suddenly sound so sour again?
Chu Nian decided to change the subject and suddenly asked, "When did you find out I was Hua Nian when I was Bai Nian? Also, the memory of me taking you as my disciple when you were a child was sealed. When was it unsealed?"
Lin Jingting: "Before my mother ascended to heaven, she released the seal on my childhood memories and told me many things about you. As for when you were Bai Nian, I knew that you were Master Hua Nian. When I discovered that Bai Nian's soul had been replaced, I guessed that it was you. But at first I was not sure."
Chu Nian: "I don't understand. Although I did take you as my disciple when you were young, I didn't have much contact with you. How could you have figured out that Bai Nian was me?"
Lin Jingting: "My mother said that when you think about someone deeply, no matter what she becomes, you will still recognize her if she appears in front of you."
When the Immortal Realm collapsed, my mother and father both perished, their souls scattered and I could never find them. The only one I found was Senior Brother Hua, and although I painstakingly reconstructed his soul, he was no longer the same as before.
Of all the people in this world I'm truly connected with, it seems you're the only one I can still hold onto.
Hearing this, Chu Nian's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help but reach out and hug Lin Jingting, asking him, "I didn't tell you that the Immortal Realm would one day collapse. Are you still blaming me?"
Lin Jingting: "I have absolutely no right to blame you."
Chu Nian: "Why do you say that?" You were complaining about it before.
Lin Jingting: "Whether it's Hua Nian or Bai Nian, you and I aren't particularly close."
So, he sensed that she was much closer to him this time compared to before?! Chu Nian was speechless: This guy is too sensitive!
Lin Jingting was indeed still the same Lin Jingting. Even when he was only five years old, he could keenly sense that the female protagonist of that world, Wen Ruyan, was a fake innocent.
Perhaps it is this extraordinary sensitivity that allows him to sense many subtle thoughts that others cannot perceive, which fills him with negative emotions towards human nature and makes him indifferent to many people.
But of those few people who catch his eye and with whom he has a deep connection, which one can he truly let go of?
Chu Nian sighed deeply and said, "Jingting, I hope you won't change yourself because of me in the future."
Lin Jingting asked curiously, "Why would you say that?"
Chu Nian: "We each have our own things to do, our own responsibilities to bear, and our own lives."
Lin Jingting: "I only need a life that involves you."
Chu Nian smiled helplessly and said, "One day you will find your own true partner, but that will definitely not be me."
She actually really hoped it was Lou Qianzong. At least so far, among the people Chu Nian knew, only Lou Qianzong wouldn't be a burden to him, and could always stay by Lin Jingting's side, both in terms of strength and affection.
However, if her guess was correct, Lin Jingting ultimately chose to leave Lou Qianzong and established the Underworld to eliminate the resentment that filled the books. Was his choice related to her? Chu Nian felt her heart clench with pain whenever she thought about this.
Lin Jingting thought for a moment and said, "We are all cultivators, and we don't know how old we are. Aren't people like you and me the only ones who can stay by our side all this time?"
Chu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "The conditions you mentioned allow us to travel together, become good friends, or even become master and disciple like you and me, but not as partners."
Lin Jingting: "Okay, we don't need to be partners, as long as we can always walk together." She paused, then added: "But you're not allowed to find other partners in the future. Because if you do, I won't be the most important person in your heart anymore."
Chu Nian's lips twitched. Something about what this guy was saying didn't feel right.
