Chapter 939: I’m in Another World

Chapter 939: I’m in Another World

Strange things happened; Lin Nuo surprisingly established a connection with Ruo’er from his past life.

This was wholly beyond the realm of scientific understanding.

Wait, there’s probably no science to talk about; this illusion was completely outside the scope of science.

So how can it be explained?

Who cares? As long as I can hear you, it’s fine.

“Young Master, where are you now? Are you really inside this tree?”

Ruo’er asked anxiously, overjoyed to hear the Young Master’s voice.

Although the Young Master had fallen into darkness and she once became an Immortal, she didn’t have a clear view of right and wrong. Initially, she pursued immortality just to find him.

This was about gratitude; without the Young Master’s family, she likely wouldn’t be here.

What’s the world for all beings? That wasn’t a concern for her.

“I’m right beside you. But, my current state is a bit strange; you can’t see me. But that’s okay. Being able to talk to you is what matters. You’re staying with my mother, and everything’s alright, right?”

“Everything’s well, very well. We’re living quite nicely in Ru Yu Village, peaceful and quiet. The Madam is in good health, no major issues. Young Master, will we be able to see you?”

“We probably won’t be able to see each other. But just being able to talk with you is already a blessing. Though I’m not used to thanking people, I still appreciate you taking care of my mother.”

“No, no. The Madam treats me like her own daughter. Taking care of her is only right; Young Master, there’s no need to be courteous. Young Master, look! What you once planted is now thriving! It should bear fruit soon. The Madam will surely be very happy.”

Ruo’er smiled, feeling that Lin Nuo’s tone was much warmer than before—gone was the coldness, replaced by genuine concern for them.

Is this really the Young Master?

Yes, her intuition told her it was, and it wasn’t just similar voices.

“What did those Immortals do to you?” Lin Nuo began to inquire about her cultivation.

“Ah, they didn’t do anything, Young Master. They treat me quite well…”

“Don’t give me that nonsense. Releasing me back then was a grave mistake, and you got imprisoned because of it. Did they not apply any harsh punishments to you?”

“No, no, Young Master. They haven’t punished me harshly.”

Ruo’er quickly replied, although she was under house arrest, at least she wasn’t abused.

Immortals, after all, were still Immortals; they wouldn’t stoop to such levels.

“Then they punished you; you must have faced some blow.”

“I didn’t, Young Master…”

Ruo’er’s voice became quieter, lacking conviction.

No severe punishment, yet she did suffer some attacks from Immortal Techniques, which she didn’t regard as abuse.

“Then there’s definitely something there.”

“No, there isn’t, Young Master…”

“Stop talking back. Your tone has already betrayed you, those so-called Immortals without any real skills.”

Hearing this made Lin Nuo angry. How could his servant suffer such injustice?

So it was best to draw this life’s Ruo’er into darkness; that would be her way out.

“No, Young Master, really, there’s nothing.”

Ruo’er hurriedly explained, worried something might happen.

“Young Master, it’s all in the past. I don’t want you to carry hatred. Right now, the Madam and I live peacefully, and that’s what matters. Don’t hold onto hatred. Although many in this world have wronged you… but… it’s all over; let’s not dwell on it. I just don’t want to see you full of hatred again…”

Ruo’er’s voice was tiny, but she sincerely urged Lin Nuo to let go of his biases, whether in darkness, heaven, or among mortals; it didn’t matter who the Young Master was, as long as he could let go of his grudges and be happy.

“Young Master, would you want to talk to the Madam?”

“Forget it, let’s not bother her.”

“The Madam misses you so much; you should let her come.”

Before Lin Nuo could respond, Ruo’er turned and hurried off to find Xia Hanmo.

This made Lin Nuo awkward; honestly, in his current state, he didn’t know how to talk to her.

In his previous life, he had never spoken much with Xia Hanmo. His long stay in the Xuanyun Sect and eventual fall into darkness meant they hadn’t seen each other.

Even after falling, he occasionally visited Ru Yu Village but never encountered Xia Hanmo; thankfully, he hadn’t let her see him in that state.

Soon, Ruo’er brought Xia Hanmo. Xia Hanmo felt Ruo’er must be hearing things; how could such a thing happen?

But she still came to investigate.

Listening to Ruo’er, she put her ear against the tree, but couldn’t hear anything.

“Ruo’er, there’s no sound.”

“Ah, there is! Madam, I just heard the Young Master’s voice!”

Ruo’er quickly pressed her big ear against the tree and anxiously asked,

“Young Master, Young Master, the Madam is here; please talk to her. She misses you so much!”

“I told you, she can’t hear me?” Lin Nuo responded.

“Madam, the Young Master spoke; didn’t you hear?”

After hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Ruo’er quickly asked Xia Hanmo.

“No, Ruo’er, I didn’t hear anything.”

Xia Hanmo frowned, indicating she hadn’t heard a sound.

“Ruo’er, are you overly tired and hearing things? Sigh, you shouldn’t overwork yourself; rest well.”

“No, Madam. There really was the Young Master’s voice; I can hear it. Didn’t you really hear it…?”

Ruo’er felt a bit down; this rare opportunity and Xia Hanmo hadn’t heard.

“She can’t hear. I can’t hear her voice either; I can only hear yours. Perhaps there’s some kind of mystery in this.”

Lin Nuo speculated; he already found Ruo’er to be no ordinary person, and her background was a mystery too.

Fine, since he didn’t know what to say to Xia Hanmo, let her continue believing he sacrificed himself to save the world.

“You’re alright now, right? That woman killed you, and I haven’t spoken a word to her since.”

“You don’t need to talk to her. Nothing to discuss. You’ve been an Immortal for so long; do you even know your own background?”

Lin Nuo asked, but Ruo’er shook her head.

“No, Young Master, after my foster mother died, I’ve regarded the Madam as my real mother. My background doesn’t matter anymore.”

Ruo’er’s foster mother had perished in the inter-faction conflict, and she hadn’t been able to save her.

Lin Nuo knew this; all those factions had been eradicated by him.

“Good. It’s fine. I’m doing well over here, well-fed and nothing to worry about.”

“Younger Master, what’s it like there?”

“It’s another world, just like this one, except time has been turned back five years to before I died. Those common folk can’t do anything to me.”

“Oh, that’s good, Young Master.”

Ruo’er felt relieved; as long as the Young Master was well.

But she recalled something important and quickly asked,

“Younger Master, based on what you said, does that world exist for me too?”
