As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Old Master Cui looking at her with concern. "Girl, how are you feeling?"
Wan Jiao paused for a few seconds before blinking, "I'm fine."
As she spoke, she glanced at her surroundings: it was unfamiliar, and she was certain she had never been here before.
"Old Cui, where is this?"
Old Cui: "This is the dormitory at the Special Security Bureau headquarters, and this is the room arranged for you."
Wan Jiao gave a reluctant "Oh," then, remembering what had happened in the Alzheimer's Autonomous Prefecture, she took a deep breath, "Old Cui, the case of the River God's Bride..."
"The case is closed. Your Security Bureau handled it personally." Old Cui said, patting Wan Jiao's shoulder. "I've heard about it. Girl, you're not alone. Behind you is the entire metaphysical community of Sheng Kingdom. Don't bear things alone."
This was the first time in Wan Jiao's life that someone had spoken to her like that. She was touched, but strangely, the image that came to mind was Ling Yue's face.
Then, that dull, uncomfortable feeling came back.
"Mr. Cui, I'd like to be alone for a while."
Old Cui nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you get some rest. Call me if you need anything, I'll be right at the door."
"Thank you, Mr. Cui."
…
After Elder Cui left, Wan Jiao sat up in bed, hugged her shoulders, and fell into a deep and solemn contemplation.
Perhaps, only the patriarch could give her the answers to some of her questions.
With a thought, Wan Jiao used her spiritual power to grab her canvas bag from the sofa, rummaged through it for a while, took out a crumpled talisman, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Afterwards, she lay down again, closed her eyes, and kept repeating in her heart, "Ancestor, your disciple Wanjiao sincerely requests an audience."
"Ancestor, your disciple Wanjiao sincerely..."
"..."
After repeating it to herself countless times, Wan Jiao fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the ancestor Feng Nanshan, who was sitting leisurely in a recliner, holding a wine pot in his hand.
Upon seeing Wan Jiao, a look of displeasure crossed his face. "You brat, you never come here for anything good."
Wan Jiao smiled ingratiatingly, then quickly ran over to massage Feng Nanshan's shoulders, back, and legs. While her hands were doing these things, her mouth was also busy.
"Ancestor, I want to know about my past life..."
Halfway through her sentence, Wan Jiao seemed to realize that her question was inappropriate, so she paused and quickly changed the subject.
"Ancestor, during my trip to the Alz Autonomous Prefecture, I met the Moon Goddess Ling Yue. She called me A Ling and said some very strange things to me. I saw her and Runze completely annihilated within the God-Destroying Array I set up. I actually..."
Feng Nanshan's expression grew increasingly strange because of Wan Jiao's words.
Finally, before she could even finish speaking, he hurriedly interrupted, "You brat, what exactly do you want to know? Can't you just get straight to the point?"
"Is there some connection between me and the Moon Goddess Ling Yue?" After actually asking the question, Wan Jiao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Nanshan looked at Wan Jiao and asked her, "What do you think is the connection between you and her?"
Wan Jiao: "..."
If I knew, I wouldn't have come to ask you.
It was because I didn't know and was very anxious that I ate such unpalatable talisman paper to come see you.
“Ancestor, it is I who come to you for answers, not you who come to ask me.”
Feng Nanshan: "I know, so you have to tell me first what kind of connection you think you have with her before I can answer your questions."
Wan Jiao sensed that something was off about Feng Nanshan's words.
But for some reason, she couldn't find the words to refute him, and could only say "Oh" awkwardly, and then said seriously, "Ancestor, I have a feeling that I must have known the Moon Goddess Ling Yue in my past life."
As Wan Jiao finished speaking, Feng Nanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, out of her sight…
"Hey, you little rascal, that's why I say you're so smart, you guessed it all."
