"You're also called Xu Ruyu? How is that possible..." Her voice trembled slightly as Xu Ruyu's face and past memories involuntarily surfaced in her mind. A complex mix of emotions welled up in her heart, including surprise, doubt, and an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Ning Yuyuan also looked surprised. She and Chu Chenxiao exchanged a glance and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.
"Such a coincidence in the world?" Ning Yuyuan murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on the man named Xu Ruyu in front of her, trying to find some answers in his expression.
"Thank you for your help, Young Master Xu. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger today." Ning Yu sincerely thanked the man, her eyes still holding a hint of inquiry and wariness.
She knew that in this unfamiliar environment, any unexpected person could be intricately connected to the conspiracy behind it. Although Xu Ruyu had just saved them, she still couldn't completely let her guard down just to be cautious.
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes and curiously circled around Xu Ruyu, asking, "Is your name really Xu Ruyu? How come you look exactly like someone we know?"
Her innocent and naive appearance was endearing, but in reality, she was secretly wondering whether Xu Ruyu had any memories, since she knew more about the secret rules of the original timeline than Chu Chenxiao and Ning Yuyuan.
In addition, Xu Ruyu's attitude towards Chu Chenxiao and Ning Yuyuan was completely different; the former was very natural, while the latter was very polite.
Xu Ruyu smiled as she looked at Xixi, her eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and curiosity, as if she really liked this clever little girl. "I have grown up in these mountains since I was a child and have never left. My name was given to me by my master. As for why I resemble the people you girls know, I don't know the reason."
His voice was clear and calm, as melodious as flowing water, making people want to believe him.
Chu Chenxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "We were out of line, please forgive us, young master. It's just that this fate is too wonderful, and it's hard to accept for a while."
She bit her lip slightly, pondering to herself, "Could all of this be just a coincidence? Or is there a deeper secret hidden behind it?"
Ning Yuyuan also came to her senses and gently patted Chu Chenxiao's shoulder, "In that case, Young Master Xu, we will have to rely on you a lot in the future. This ruin is full of dangers, and we need to work together to find the answers we are looking for."
Xu Ruyu nodded slightly and said firmly, "Don't worry, young lady, I will do my best to help you."
At that moment, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the ruins, illuminating their dusty faces and their unknown path ahead.
The appearance of this man with the same name as his lover—was it a sign of fate, or the beginning of another conspiracy? Chu Chenxiao was filled with confusion.
But they understood that their most important task was to survive in the dangerous ruins and unravel the secrets of the Chaos Orb.
