"Personally, I think that dream was still going to last a long time; I just woke up early," Lian Han concluded.
Ning Jue frowned. "What will you do after this dream is over?"
Lian Han blinked. "Lost? Completely brainwashed? The outcome won't be good anyway. So thank you for saving me."
Ning Jue rubbed her head. "Why don't you say that I almost ruined you? This time, Ying Mo approached you, and the Ling family wouldn't have agreed without my tacit approval."
He was the one who gave Li Yingmo the right to choose people—although at the time he didn't know that the kid would approach Lian Han.
Lian Han was surprised; she had thought it was her own brother who had persuaded him, but it turned out that a general also played a role. This made sense why he came to pick them up personally.
Ning Jue steered the conversation back on track, "Since you believe that all the girls in the story are you, what about the male protagonist? Could they also be the same person?"
Huh? Lian Han, who had never thought of this possibility before, was taken aback. Now that you mention it, it does seem like it might actually be true.
However, after careful recollection, she realized that while she didn't know Ye Qianling and her elder brother very well, the possibility of them being the same person—from the gentle, considerate, and reliable Cang Yi to the stubborn, gloomy, and obsessive Li Zhong—was truly slim. However, she couldn't rule out the possibility that the other party had suffered some kind of trauma; after all, if the hypothesis of a "past life" were true, then the other party would obviously have no memories of that past life.
“Since you believe that might be your past life, let’s make another assumption: let’s assume they are the same person. The Chosen One is related to that person in the Blood Nether Palace, and that person is also very interested in you. We can’t rule out the possibility that he’s behind this. So why would he make you remember your former lover?” Ning Jue asked.
Cangming is interested in her; Cangming helps her recall these memories; the male protagonist in those memories is the same person—
After taking all of this together, Lian Han's face immediately turned extremely ugly. "Is he out of his mind?! Who gave him the audacity to say he'll be with him for eternity?"
Ning Jue patted her shoulder, "Calm down, this is just a hypothetical situation."
"Even hypotheticals won't do! How many years has this old monster lived? He still wants to covet me? I'll kill him sooner or later!" Just thinking about her and Cangming doing that kind of thing—Lian Han felt disgusted to death.
[Ahem, that assumption is wrong.] Hearing her string of profanities, Xing Yucheng couldn't help but speak up. [Cangming has lived for at least three hundred years, while Qi Yan's story took place more than two hundred years ago. He didn't have the chance to be affectionate with you.]
[And think about it. What did Cangming say to you the first time they met?]
Lian Han remained silent. He claimed that he had found someone with the "aptitude for immortality" and even neurotically invited her to achieve immortality together.
[Are you still absolutely sure about him now?]
Even after the chill dissipated, [Impossible. If he really were Cang Yi, Li Zhong, or the others, he either wouldn't know me at all, or he would recognize me the moment we met.] Recognizing me halfway through the journey is definitely suspicious.
Hearing her so matter-of-factly project her "dream" onto herself, Xing Yucheng felt uneasy. [Regardless, we still need to be careful. I'll think of a way to stop you from dreaming when we get back to the capital.]
Whether it was fabricating so many dreams for Lian Han or awakening her past life, Cang Ming had gone to great lengths, so his intentions were definitely not small.
Back on the capital planet, once they're back, the system will help block them. As for why not block them now—Xing Yucheng glanced at Ning Jue. After all, he's his brother. This kid is clearly planning to use the opportunity of helping Xiao Han sleep peacefully to accompany (and harass) the girl. He should at least have some sense of propriety.
Moreover, he was doing it for Lian Han's own good. Just like when he stripped away the power of the bloodworms last time, the card system wouldn't do it for free.
This time, the system will likely assign Lian Han a mission, with a random difficulty level of approximately medium. The system's random missions vary depending on the location, and this medium difficulty level is also situational. They are currently on a starship, specifically Admiral Ning's warship, which possesses formidable firepower. Who knows, the system might just assign them a mission to exterminate pirates?
Having found an excuse for his actions, the man went into hiding with a clear conscience, also shielding himself from the outside world—watching his younger brother cautiously getting close, he was afraid that he might lose his temper and expose the guy's secrets.
The exchange of consciousness between the two was actually only a moment in reality. Ning Jue found it amusing to see the girl, who was about to explode with anger, suddenly deflate.
What came to mind?
Lian Han explained, "The assumption is invalid. Even if they are the same person, it couldn't be that bastard. Because Cangming first appeared..."
The girl's voice suddenly paused, and both of their eyes turned to Lian Han's left wrist—a bracelet.
As mentioned before, She-Ra is a spatial device created using space-folding technology. The silver bracelet has 12 inconspicuous gray gems; although they look ordinary, each gem is folded into a 30-cubic-meter space. Even from the perspective of the Ling family's little princess, it's a spatial device with decent attributes.
But now, the 12 gray gems on the bracelet are flashing, and their energy fluctuations are quite unstable.
"What happened?"
Lian Han frowned. "The bracelet couldn't have broken for no reason. Was it him?"
Lian Han suddenly thought of the person who gave her the bracelet, and her pupils contracted involuntarily, "How long until we reach the capital star?"
Two days.
It would only take three days to reach the capital from Zhuyan, a time several times shorter than their journey there, but it still wasn't enough. Lian Han frowned, his fingertips rapidly tapping on the smart device, finding a contact's number, and sending a communication request.
After a series of beeps, the screen of the smart device displayed the message "No one answered."
Lian Han's face turned ugly again, but this time it was with anxiety. She had ignored Jiang Chenrui's communications more than once this year, and he had also ignored the first communication she sent to him, which could be considered retribution.
Lian Han wanted to press redial, but her finger paused. She felt she was being nosy. What did it matter to her whether the other person lived or died? She had already said that they had nothing to do with each other anymore!
But then she thought that Jiang Chenrui might be in danger—the girl cursed herself for being so foolish, clicked redial, and then found Anhe Lance's contact number and dialed it.
There was still no response from Jiang Chenrui, but An He quickly dialed the number. The other party lowered his voice, "Xiao Han, why are you contacting me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"
Where is Senior Jiang now?
Anhe, who was being asked the question, felt completely bewildered. She glanced furtively at the instructor on the podium and lowered her voice even further, "I don't know. It's class time now, we're having a theory class, we need to..."
“Lance, classmate.”
Seeing that the mentor had caught Anhe making a small move—which was also her fault, as Anhe liked the number 3, so she and Lian Han were basically always in the middle of the third row, which was quite conspicuous.
Under the watchful eye of Robert, the notoriously strict instructor at the Armor Academy, and in such a prominent position, Anhe's audacity was truly remarkable.
