"You seem to know a lot of things," Wen Ran said with a straight face, his eyes narrowing as he studied Lian Zhen carefully. "Could it be that you're no longer the same Lian Zhen that I used to know? Or are there things that I'm not allowed to know about?" His voice was steady, but there was an edge to it—he didn't hold back his tongue at all.
This whole meeting felt off, like something was out of place. Wen Ran couldn't quite put his finger on it. Why is his body here? he thought, How did he end up in this world? And when he said, 'I'm back,' does that mean he knew about my death? He was alive when the world was destroyed... His mind raced with questions. Does that mean he sold himself to the gods, too? Is that why he's radiating divine energy? Or did he ascend on his own? Everything felt jumbled, as if nothing made sense.
