Inside the Nothing is for Sale store, Hong Yan Xin walked out from the back room. Her beautiful face revealed a hint of surprise.
Even though her relationship with Ling Xian was not that deep, to be able to meet an old friend in a strange place was something worth celebrating.
Therefore, when she saw the handsome man before her, Hong Yan Xin revealed a smile. She was even a little excited.
This made Ling Xian raise an eyebrow, a little surprised.
Being surprised was reasonable and he was happy. But being excited made him feel a little off.
However, he didn't ask much. Instead, he looked at the increasingly beautiful Hong Yan Xin and grinned, "It's been so many years. I wonder how you have been?"
Hearing this, Hong Yan Xin's eyes dimmed a little. But in the next second, she regained her energy, "I am fine. How about you?"
"Kind of flat." Ling Xian softly smiled. He noticed the dimness in her eyes and couldn't help but to silently sigh.
"Let's talk inside."
Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly and led Ling Xian into the room. Then, she personally poured him a cup of tea and exclaimed, "I cannot believe I would run into you in a foreign place."
"I cannot believe it either. This isn't just a different place, it's a whole new world."
Ling Xian exclaimed and asked curiously, "How did you get here? Didn't they say the Immortal World is completely cut off from the Taoism community?"
"Then how did you get here?" Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly.
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and didn't ask anymore.
It was obvious that Hong Yan Xin didn't want to reveal anything. If he continued to ask, he would only annoy her.
"Many years ago, I wanted to find you. I cannot believe you would appear before me." Hong Yan Xin stared at Ling Xian with her beautiful eyes. There was some happiness and some excitement.
"You wanted to find me many years ago?"
Ling Xian frowned. Thinking about how sad this woman was just now, he seemed to have understood something.
"That's right. Perhaps this is God's will." The corner of Hong Yan Xin's lips curled up. She was very happy.
"God's will isn't always good. It can bring hopelessness."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "If I am not wrong, you want to ask me how I revived in Yuezhou."
"How did you know?" Hong Yan Xin was slightly startled.
Xiao Cui was startled as well, she didn't think Ling Xian would be able to guess it.
"Back then, in order to get me to help you obtain the Red Spider Lily and the Soul Summoning Book, you even knelt down. I've already told you that you won't succeed. "
Ling Xian softly sighed, "When I asked you how you were doing, you looked a little sad. This let me know that you have failed."
"And when you saw me, your expression became somewhat excited. This is also very strange, because our friendship is not deep. Even if I met an old friend in a foreign land, I wouldn't be so excited. "
"Moreover, you said that you were looking for me just now, but I don't have anything worthy of your attention. The only thing I have is that I died and came back to life."
"And this is precisely what you care about the most."
Ling Xian's words shocked Hong Yan Xin and Xiao Cui.
Ever since they entered the door, they haven't mentioned a single word about being revived. Yet he was able to guess his intentions based on Hong Yan Xin's expressions. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
After a long while, Hong Yan Xin finally recollected herself and bitterly smiled, "Though there are a few flaws, you are right."
"I would rather have guessed wrong." Ling Xian softly sighed.
"Observant and meticulous. Based on a few expressions, you were able to guess my intentions. You sure are impressive."
Hong Yan Xin stared at Ling Xian, "I hate dealing with smart people like you. It takes a lot of brain power."
"I am simply being meticulous."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "I know what you want to ask. You want to know how I was able to revive. I can tell you very clearly that my revival was the result of many coincidences. It cannot be replicated."
"Cannot be replicated?"
Hong Yan Xin frowned. She stared deadly at Ling Xian, as if trying to find a trace of lying on his face.
Sadly, she was disappointed.
Against Hong Yan Xin's sharp gaze, Ling Xian's expression was calm and he was very honest.
His revival cannot be replicated. Plus, there was no reason for him to lie to Hong Yan Xin.
"Aye, when you were being chased, I was reviving that person. I didn't know about this."
After confirming that Ling Xian wasn't lying, Hong Yan Xin sighed, "Just as you expected, I failed."
"Just as I was about to give up, I found out about your revival. You don't know how happy I was at that moment. I searched for you like crazy but I couldn't find you."
"Then, I coincidentally came to the Immortal Realm. I wanted to try and find a way to revive in a foreign world. Unfortunately, all I got in return was disappointment again and again. "
"Did the heavens send you to my side so that I can once again taste the feeling of falling from hope to despair?"
Hong Yan Xin leaned against the chair weakly. Her entire body was boneless and she had no energy.
Ling Xian couldn't bear to see this, "I know you won't give up until I tell you everything. You are doing pretty well now."
"Back then, my physical body was destroyed and my soul was destroyed. I was completely dead. However, because I had four treasures, I was able to revive. "
"The first was a leaf from the Immortal Medicine. It allowed my physical body to regenerate. The second was the Flag of Summoning. It gathered my broken soul back together."
"The third was the Devious Flower of Symbiosis. Its life awakened my physical body and soul. The fourth was the Shang Qing Technique. Its calming effect helped me regain my memory. "
"None of these four treasures can be missing. Plus, they had to happen not long after I died. Not even a second later. This is why I said my revival was a coincidence that cannot be replicated. "
Ling Xian continued to speak. Every time he spoke, Hong Yan Xin's eyes dimmed a little. In the end, she lost her soul.
"It truly is a coincidence that cannot be replicated."
Hong Yan Xin's eyes were lifeless as she mumbled, "How great would it be if you had these four treasures with you before you died. Then you wouldn't have died."
Hearing this, Ling Xian silently sighed. He didn't interrupt Hong Yan Xin's mumbling.
"Could this be God's will?"
Hong Yan Xin looked like she was laughing and crying at the same time. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks and fell onto the ground, expressing her unspeakable sadness.
Only after a long while did she stop crying, "I have made you see a joke."
"What are you talking about? You are revealing your true feelings. Why would I laugh at you?"
Ling Xian shook his head, "Let it go. Those who are alive should live well. Clinging to the past will only make you live in pain."
"Everyone knows how to let it go. But how many people truly let it go?" Hong Yan Xin sighed.
Hearing this, Ling Xian sighed as well. Didn't he want to revive Lin Qing Yi as well?
"Let's put this topic aside for now."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "I am very curious about the person you want to revive. If it is convenient, can you satisfy my curiosity?"
