 Chapter 68: Meeting Again After a Century

"Mmm..." 

Qin Ruan responded lightly, showing a hint of understanding on her face.

Just as they got on the car, she saw Ling Xiaoxuan's expression and noticed the "Red Phoenix", "Heavenly Joy", "Heavenly Yao", and "Salt Pool Reflecting the Flow of Time and Fortune Palace" in her horoscope chart. It was clearly a sign of the "Red Phoenix" star's movement.

However, the "Hua Lu" shining into the couple's house palace, with a favorable momentum, was shrouded in a faint black mist despite the auspiciousness that implied a marriage.

Ling Xiaoxuan saw that Qin Ruan's expression remained unchanged and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Qin Ruan smiled. "If it weren't for your fiancé, would you still have led the way to rescue our former teammates?"

"Of course," Ling Xiaoxuan replied naturally. "We have been together for over two years. How could I watch them in danger and do nothing?"

Qin Ruan smiled. "Then what's the point of saying anything? Let's go. If we delay any longer, the road ahead won't be easy to travel."

Ling Xiaoxuan let out a sigh of relief, and a faint blood color appeared on her pale face.

She was afraid that Qin Ruan would misunderstand her.

The reason why Qin Ruan agreed to this trip to Qishan Mountain, besides searching for the aura that could extend her lifespan, was mainly because Ling Xiaoxuan was going. With her current condition, caused by encountering a mountain demon, she could not venture into the deep mountains and forests where the fiends lived on her own, whether it was for the so-called fiancé or the friendship with her former teammates.

To those things, Ling Xiaoxuan was like a tasty morsel.

Seven or eight modified Hummers quickly drove away from the gate of Shengshi University.

Qin Ruan put her backpack away and stretched her neck.

During the fight just now, she had used the power of the underworld, which was less fierce and powerful than usual, but still required some physical activity.

She turned her head slightly and looked out the window.

However, her face couldn't help but change slightly when she saw what was outside.

As seven or eight Hummer vehicles passed by, they brushed past three low-key and luxurious black sedans.

At that moment, Qin Ruan saw a man sitting in the back seat of the second car with a restrained expression.

The car window was half-open, revealing a man with refined and noble elegance, like a god, with deep and calm eyes that resembled water. His eyes were indifferent, as if they had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The man sat in the car, his calm face revealing an aura of power and decisiveness. He was a strategist and a commander, and his presence was intimidating.

Qin Ruan looked at his calm and deep eyes, feeling a bit strange.

Their eyes met briefly in the void.

When Hou Yunjiao saw Qin Ruan in person, he was more impacted than when he saw her in photos.

She had a serene and beautiful face, as still as a painting.

The girl was very beautiful, almost unreal, evoking ripples of pity and compassion.

Although she was at an age of youthful vigor, Qin Ruan's eyes were lifeless and lacked the innocence and purity that should belong to a young girl. All she had was desolation, numbness, and indifference.

She was like a lone traveler walking in the desert, experiencing all the helplessness, struggles, and despair in the world.

Their cars brushed past each other as they looked at each other.

In that brief moment of eye contact, they both fell into each other's gaze.

They were like two people who had agreed to meet after a hundred years, meeting again.

The two car teams quickly passed by and went on opposite roads.

"Stop the car!" Hou Yunjiao narrowed his deep eyes and spoke in a low and slow voice, his tone inexplicably strange.

Hou Yunjiao didn't know what was happening to him. He felt his temples throbbing and his heart being pulled apart by an inexplicable feeling.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going to Shengshi Academy ahead?" Hou Yirong, who was sitting next to him, asked with confusion.

Hou Yunjiao raised his eyes and stared at the seven or eight modified Hummers that were roaring away into the distance, his gaze deep and mysterious.
