Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

"Alright, none of this is the point. The point is that my actions constituted as betrayal to Shennv Xuanhui. As a result, the eldest sister led a group to find me in the outer realm, and I knew I stood no chance against them." After saying this, fear flashed through Lin Xi’s eyes as if she still held trepidation for Shennv Xuanhui after hundreds of years.

Su Hui then asked, "What happened next? Did they find you? Did you two fight?"

To this, Lin Xi shook her head, "Originally, I planned to abandon the ancient Qian Ye country and flee. However, at that time, I happened to meet a protector from the Eternal Life Clan. This person brought me something related to the secret of eternal life. Seeing this as a divine omen, I planned to attain eternal life energy to fight against Shennv Xuanhui. But I found that what he brought was not the complete formula. I couldn’t gain eternal life, but I could reincarnate, so I chose this method to escape from the pursuit of Shennv Xuanhui."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Gu Fan understood, but his brow furrowed, "But why are you telling us all this? It’s been several hundred years, people from Shennv Xuanhui should be almost extinct by now. Even with a few inheritors left, they wouldn’t relentlessly pursue you, would they?"

"At first, I thought so too, but I was wrong," said Lin Xi, followed by a bitter smile. "In the floating islands of the ancient super civilization, we discovered a room with numerous sleeping pods. Inside that room was a painting of a Phoenix spreading its wings amidst the sky, its body marked with the character Xuan."

Gu Fan was confused, "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that the Shennv Xuanhui also went there?"

Lin Xi nodded, "I think Shennv Xuanhui not only visited there, but they also took several sleeping pods. They probably planned to extend their lifespan through hibernation, perhaps they have been asleep for hundreds of years, just waiting for my reincarnation, to seek revenge against me."

Lu Yi shook his head continuously, "No way, what on earth did you do to make them so hell-bent on taking you down?"

"I didn’t do anything, just left Shennv Xuanhui without permission. In my eyes, it was merely a diverging path, but in their eyes, I was a traitor." Lin Xi’s explanation was simple, but everyone’s looks were disdainful. Who knew what sort of dreadful act Lin Xi could have committed back then.
