Chapter 1330: Your Reincarnation
Lin Nuo felt like something was missing; he needed one more person to join in for a game of Mahjong in this mystifying place.
This older brother seemed to have a clear understanding of life and death cycles. What, are you a philosopher or something? You must have at least a bachelor’s degree, right?
“So, big brother, what are you doing here? Are you just planning to get familiar faces? I remember paying for goods at your shop last time, although I thought the payment was a bit low, but you agreed.”
“Young man, I merely entrusted that ring to you.”
“Ring?”
Lin Nuo recalled the one Liu Shuqin bought. How much did you charge to act as a matchmaker in this drama with her?
No need for that; I’ll marry her as long as she’s alive.
Well, she’s alive, and here I am, dead, separated by the realms of yin and yang.
I seem to remember having one too; it was a pair, really looked like an engagement set, just missing the whole down-on-one-knee proposal thing.
“Liu Shuqin really likes that ring, but mine isn’t with me at the moment. Don’t worry, I promoted your family’s treasure back in Huan Tian City, saying it was exquisite and affordable.”
Lin Nuo rambled on, leaving a nice review for you; that’s a kind-hearted lie.
“Actually, being a merchant is just my surface identity.”
The man said calmly, pulling out the ring from his hand.
Lin Nuo glanced at it and thought, wow, that’s a bit unfair; there’s a third one? Aren’t rings supposed to come in pairs for meaning? What value does this broken ring hold?
“You have a third one? Rings usually come in two; they need to be a set to matter! I’ve been tricked by you.”
“This is your ring, and it’s also hers.”
“You went to my room and brought it here for me? You’re pretty nice—faster than express delivery, just breezing through the realms of yin and yang.”
The man didn’t understand what Lin Nuo meant by express delivery, it didn’t sound like a compliment to him.
Interesting, this young man is interesting.
“She once said she hoped you could start anew, gain a new life, and get back on track.”
“Does that mean this new life is given by her?” Lin Nuo pondered, it couldn’t be, right? Did Liu Shuqin make my reincarnation happen?
What deity are you, granting wishes that come true, and here I am, reborn?
The man shook his head:
“No. The laws of heaven’s reincarnation can’t be changed.”
“Then are you?”
Lin Nuo turned to question the man, feeling he might have a hand in this.
The man shook his head:
“Not really. I’m just a traveler of time and space, but I cannot interfere with your reincarnation. Not only Liu Shuqin, but also she wishes for you to return.”
With that, the man’s gaze shifted to Su Kexin, and Lin Nuo was taken aback.
Could it be about Su Kexin? The daughter of that deity?
If that’s the case, she might be capable of it!
Wait, what on earth is she thinking, and why does she want to do this?
“My matters don’t need to be discussed.”
Su Kexin interrupted the man, clearly not wanting to expose her inner thoughts to Lin Nuo.
“Well then.”
The man returned to the topic of Lin Nuo’s reincarnation:
“Although they all wish for your return, when a person dies, they should walk the path of reincarnation, into the next era. You could be human or beast. Returning to the past is only possible for someone like me, a traveler of time and space. But you are different; you’ve actually gone back, back to the past, which is indeed a very strange thing.”
“Oh, that doesn’t sound weird at all then.”
Lin Nuo nodded; if I can travel here, what’s strange about being reborn?
This isn’t something science can explain!
As long as it’s not because of Su Kexin.
I definitely don’t want her controlling where I go after I die; that would mean I can’t even die peacefully.
“Okay, about Liu Shuqin’s ring, so you can travel back and forth between different timelines? There indeed are people like that in this world, often just observers, but wouldn’t this count as interference?”
Lin Nuo said, sensing that this man was like a time-walker. He could see various timelines but typically wouldn’t intervene.
“That’s correct, I have interfered. But your situation is an exception, so I want to change my previous principles and see if anything interesting comes up. Her memories are attached to this ring; if your rebirth holds hope for a better path, I’ll give the ring to her. If not, or if your condition worsens, I won’t give it to her. If she dies, her spirit will scatter, and she won’t even get a chance to reincarnate.
If she gets the ring, she’ll know your situation and want to guide you truly back on track. But in the end, she also fell into darkness. Fortunately, everything that happened afterward indicates that your situation improved. But as you said, it is fate; you don’t belong to that timeline—you’re just returning now.”
The man explained Liu Shuqin’s situation, and Lin Nuo roughly understood, yet he still had no clue about Su Kexin’s condition.
“What about her? How did she come here? And how did I end up meeting her in my last life?” Lin Nuo asked.
