Lu An'an slowly recovered from her grief, remained silent for a long time, and after sorting out her thoughts, asked the old man opposite her her question.
"She said that she made a deal with you, Master, together with Tiandao. Why would Tiandao follow her in her nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, the master's expression changed slightly, and he then let out a soft breath.
Now there's no need to hesitate; we still need to reveal Fu Zhiyan's identity.
He spoke slowly, word by word.
"Because the Way of Heaven is Fu Zhiyan."
Lu An'an's heart skipped a beat, but what surged up next was an indescribable bitterness and sorrow.
"Is it because... you fell in love with 'her'? You fell in love with another An'an, which is why you agreed to 'her' request?"
Then... why did you confess your feelings to her?
The master dismissed Lu An'an's wild thoughts: "Little disciple, Heaven is willing to help her because it wants to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an froze on the spot, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Because of me?"
Master smiled slightly, gently stroking the graying beard on his chin with his fingers, and slowly nodded: "Indeed, the Heavenly Dao has gradually depleted its origin due to the countless restarts of the small world, and has also gradually developed its own consciousness. When she and Pei Sheng pushed the small world to the brink of collapse again, forcing it to restart, the Heavenly Dao performed a calculation, trying to find a way to stop the collapse of the small world. In that rehearsal, it not only saw you, but also saw itself."
A gentle smile flickered in the master's eyes: "Little disciple, you may not believe it, but in the countless cycles of the Heavenly Dao's calculations, it fell in love with you in the pre-rehearsals. So, when 'she' came to the Heavenly Dao to make a deal, the Heavenly Dao had selfish thoughts. In order to meet you, it did not act decisively as usual and erase Pei Sheng's existence. Instead, it came to the Management Bureau and, on the premise of ensuring that it could meet you, it obtained a chance for you to protect yourself."
"Otherwise, logically speaking, the most direct way would be for him to make a deal with the female lead directly. Although the result would be somewhat crude and simplistic, it would be the safest method."
After hearing her master's words, Lu An'an stood frozen in place as if she had been immobilized by a spell.
"So... the opportunity for me to come here to study medicine was one he begged for?"
A subtle, almost imperceptible emotion flickered deep in the master's eyes, and his voice held a barely discernible glint: "Yes, that's right."
Lu An'an was stunned as she processed this massive amount of information. Her emotions surged within her, and her thoughts were tangled and intertwined like a tangled web of electrical wires, impossible to unravel.
"Let me have some peace and quiet."
The master nodded slightly, and then the air froze, and silence fell.
After a long while, Lu An'an finally sorted out her thoughts, calmed her turbulent emotions, and her eyes became more and more determined. "Master, take me back. 'She' is right. Pei Sheng and I do need a clear end. I will not let him ruin my life."
The master's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he readily agreed, full of relief: "Alright, alright, go ahead, go ahead, your master believes in you, my little disciple is the best!"
Lu An'an nodded resolutely, ready to go back. However, at this critical moment, she remembered her senior sister and quickly interrupted her master's spellcasting.
"Hey, Master! Wait a minute! I just remembered that I ran into my senior sister in my little world! How come my senior sister is in my world?"
The master didn't take it seriously and continued casting the spell: "Oh, your senior sister? Well, consider that a gift from your master. Don't worry about it. Your master has already sent your senior sister back. Don't worry!"
He muttered to himself, "If I don't send your senior sister over, when will you realize that the people around you can hear your thoughts? Those two old guys don't have much time left. If I don't take action and make things clear, I'll be sitting up in the middle of the night slapping myself and saying how awful I am..."
Lu An'an stared at the old man's moving lips with a look of confusion in her eyes, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. Just as she was about to ask, her master quickly sent her back.
When she came to her senses, she was back at the base of the wall where she had hit her head.
Lu An'an blinked her big eyes, which were full of doubt.
Why do I keep feeling like Master has something he hasn't said yet?
She murmured to herself, her brows furrowing slightly.
[Hmm...do I feel like I've forgotten something?]
Filled with doubt and confusion, Lu An'an slowly clenched her chin, her steps thoughtful as she walked towards the entrance of the inpatient department.

In the courtyard, after Master saw Lu An'an off, the unfinished chess game on the table remained. The game was half-finished, with black and white pieces scattered and intertwined, just like his chaotic thoughts at that moment.
He murmured softly, "My little apprentice, you must succeed, after all... we don't have a second chance."
He took out the letter he hadn't given away and smiled silently.
"And it wasn't just Xiao Tiandao who developed a biased attitude."

Inside the hospital, Lu An'an had just stepped onto the steps when a series of car noises suddenly sounded behind her.
She couldn't help but glance to the side; below the steps, dozens of cars had stopped, forming a convoy parked at the entrance.
Lu An'an looked at the scene with curiosity and moved aside.
[Oh my? Is this some kind of sick prince or emperor emeritus? Such a grand entourage!]
She took small steps to the side, craning her neck to look at the first black car, wanting to see who got out.
The car door slowly opened, and a straight, long leg, wrapped in crisp suit trousers and shiny red-soled leather shoes, stepped out of the car. Then, a tall, well-built man got out of the car.
