"Is he important to you?"
"Yes, at least that's what I think," Silver Moon replied with a smile.
"It seems like you've known each other for a long time."
"Not just a long time... Alright, we need to get going quickly; our time is really limited." With that, Silver Moon took my hand and started walking.
I looked oddly at our clasped hands. How much longer could this last?
...
"Take good care of her," Silver Moon said formally to the Wild Ghost. Although I didn't understand why he said that to the Wild Ghost, I felt that I got along better with Reverse Heaven and White Soul.
"Xi Meng, once everything here is settled, I will return to your side as soon as possible," Silver Moon told me.
As soon as possible... This bittersweet feeling might only be understood by the two of us. Time really does pass quickly, huh.
...
"Senior Ghost, where are we going this time?" I asked on the road.
It was rare for me to take the initiative to speak to the Wild Ghost. It wasn't that I disliked him; it was just that the aura of rejection surrounding him made me hesitant to approach. Since Silver Moon trusted the Wild Ghost and I was very curious about him, I had no choice but to force myself to talk to him.
The Wild Ghost was taken aback, seemingly not expecting me to ask this question—or rather, not expecting me to ask him.
"Demon Abyss," came the cold response, brief and lacking any tone.
"Ah, Demon Abyss, that sounds so familiar," I quickly agreed, as the Wild Ghost always made me feel awkwardly out of place.
However... Demon Abyss, Demon Abyss, it really did sound familiar. Where had I heard it before?
"Demon Abyss, you mean Demon Abyss!" I exclaimed in surprise!
"Mm." The Wild Ghost stopped, looking at me as if my reaction was indeed excessive.
"That place, that place isn't..." I froze, this can't be a joke.
I turned to look at Against Heaven and White Soul, both of whom had calm expressions, showing no signs of joking.
"Let's go," the Wild Ghost said impatiently and stopped talking to me.
I hung my head, unable to comprehend, my face filled with a hundred thousand whys as I looked at White Soul and Against Heaven.
"Alright, let's talk while we walk," Against Heaven said with a smile, casually placing a hand on my shoulder as we walked.
"That's right, where we're going this time is Demon Abyss," Against Heaven confirmed.
"Is that a place we can enter?!"
"Why can't we enter?"
"Don't think I don't know; that's the place sealing the Demon Clan." I glared at Against Heaven gloomily.
"So what if it is?"
"So what? What do you think?! Can we just waltz into a sealed area? Besides, the Demon Clan is—"
"We have to go there; the Life Stone is there, no other choice."
"How do we get in? Don't say it's easy to enter; I don't believe that."
"This time, it depends on the Wild Ghost..." Against Heaven said with a serious expression.
The Wild Ghost? It seems he indeed has some connection with the Demon Clan, but why didn't Silver Moon tell me?
"Against Heaven, who exactly is the Wild Ghost?" I knew that no matter how quietly I spoke, the Wild Ghost could still hear me, so I decided to ask seriously. We're partners; it's not unreasonable to discuss this.
"Heh, you can ask him yourself," Nitians said with a smile, refusing to elaborate.
I hesitated, unsure how to phrase my question. However, seeing Nitians so relaxed, it didn't seem like a big secret, and I hoped the Wild Ghost wouldn't mind.
"Are you really going to ask?!" White Soul grabbed my arm, frowning at Nitians.
"What's wrong? Can't I ask?" I replied, puzzled.
"I advise you not to. Even if it's not a secret, this matter is quite complicated. Besides, it's something the Wild Ghost doesn't want to remember. Don't push him; if he wants to talk, he will," White Soul said.
I fell silent, somewhat understanding but also confused, losing the urge to inquire further. Instead, for some reason, I felt a strange sensation in my heart as I looked at the Wild Ghost's solitary figure ahead of me, thinking about the mask on his face at that moment and—his hidden face.
So sad...
"Nitians, you're really bad," I glanced at him and stopped talking, quickening my pace to leave him behind. If it weren't for White Soul telling me this, I would have probably made the Wild Ghost even colder towards me in the future and received even less kindness from him.
"I just wanted to see if he feels the same way about you as we do..." Nitians murmured behind me.
White Soul pulled Nitians back and shook his head in disapproval.
At that moment, I was focused on observing every movement of the Wild Ghost in front of me and naturally didn't hear what Nitians said or White Soul's response...
