One of the four major families, the Wang family, which had guarded Northern Xinjiang for hundreds of years, was wiped out.
The same writing was also left on the most conspicuous ancient clock in the Wang family's mansion:
Those who commit crimes against our southern capital deserve death.
"What happened in Nandu?"
When Dongfang Yanran spoke, Lu Fan had already bent down and picked up a mobile phone next to a corpse.
She thought Lu Fan was going to make a call there.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Fan picked up the phone and opened the screen, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" she said subconsciously.
"Do you still remember what year it was when we left?" Lu Fan turned to look at her.
Dongfang Yanran frowned: "It was back then, what happened?"
"The year you came back from South China Sea Wonderland."
Lu Fan shook his head, raised his phone, and pointed the screen at her: "Almost two years have passed."
Dongfang Yanran's beautiful eyes were slightly startled. She slowly stretched out her hand and took the phone into her palm.
"Has it really been more than a year?"
"And the Chinese New Year is coming soon..."
She murmured with red lips and looked up at Lu Fan: "We have been in the overseas world for almost two years."
"It's that sea."
Lu Fan shook his head: "Judging from the Kong family's frequent visits to Qinglian Fairyland, the time trajectory there should completely coincide with the secular world."
"The only thing wrong is the gray sea that has forgotten day and night."
His eyes were deep and he raised his head to look at the dark night sky: "In two years, I don't know if Song Jianqiu, Wanzi and the others can survive. I hope they are fine."
He resolutely left Nandu in search of Qinglian Fairyland just to help them find the life-saving Medicine King Cauldron.
But unexpectedly, the Medicine King Cauldron was not found, and when he came back, things had changed and the world had changed.
"Let's go back to Nandu first."
Dongfang Yanran said: "Go and see how they are doing."
Lu Fan subconsciously nodded to agree, but suddenly asked: "What about the Dongfang family's feud..."
"It's easy to repay."
Dongfang Yanran smiled: "But the living are always more important than the dead, right?"
Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then gently grabbed Dongfang Yanran's hand and was about to open his mouth.
However, Dongfang Yanran shook her head to stop her. She walked forward slowly, hugged Lu Fan's waist with her backhand, and pressed her delicate body against her chest: "Between you and me, please don't say thank you again."
Lu Fan's heart trembled, feeling the breath of the person in his arms, a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "But, you know..."
"I know."
Dongfang Yanran gently leaned her cheek against Lu Fan's shoulder and spoke slightly:
"I grew up in the Guwu family and have never had these concepts in your secular world."
"She is the most important woman in your life, and you have been looking for her."
"If she comes back, I will leave by myself."
"I won't embarrass you."
Feeling the trembling of Lu Fan's body, she smiled slightly and said, "Besides, I have never thought about getting any status."
"If one day, your things will shatter into nothingness and leave this world."
"Then let me accompany you forever."
Five days later.
It's snowing heavily.
The two finally left Northern Xinjiang and returned to Southern Capital.
It is rare that in Nandu, which is like spring all year round, it snows heavily.
The entire city was shrouded in thigh-deep snow.
There was no transportation on the road, just like the scene they saw all the way back to the southern capital from northern Xinjiang.
The entire secular world is running exactly the same universities.
Mechanical transportation in the civilized world is useless, and the whole world seems to have returned to a long, long time ago.
