"What? Did you really think the person you were looking for was Chen Mu Yu?" Hanno exploded.
"..." The man remained silent.
He felt that if he admitted it, he would surely face dire consequences.
"What is your name?" the man asked.
"My name is Han Yongxia," Hanno replied.
"You are Sun Yuqin's fiancée?" The man's expression changed, and he suddenly felt a heavy weight in his heart, very unhappy.
"Not for long," Hanno shrugged. "You should know he treasures Chen Mu Yu, right? Sun Yuqin will definitely break off the engagement for Chen Mu Yu."
Hearing this, the man's frustration dissipated. He grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth that could be featured in a toothpaste commercial. "That's good to hear."
Hanno smiled and asked, "What about you? I still don't know your name!"
The man quickly replied, "My name is Li Jinlang."
"Li Jinlang? The one known as one of the Star City Twin Talents alongside Sun Yuqin?" Hanno was initially surprised but then relaxed. No wonder; he hadn't portrayed any Star City Twin Talents in his writings. When he first heard Li Jinlang's name, he thought it was an automatic completion from the world. Now it made sense; Elder Brother Li had an external cultivation method, so how could his strength be inferior to Sun Yuqin's? Hanno sensed the fluctuations of True Essence within Elder Brother Li and figured that, like her past life in the cultivation world, even without modern memories, the techniques were imprinted in his mind. Moreover, it seemed that Elder Brother Li was hiding his true abilities just like her. What Star City Twin Talents? Sun Yuqin couldn't compare to her beloved!
"That's me." Elder Brother Li nodded, but his eyes revealed a dismissive attitude towards the title of Star City Twin Talents. Everyone compared him to Sun Yuqin, but Elder Brother Li had never regarded Sun Yuqin as his rival; his only competitor was himself. However, understanding the principle of standing out in a crowd, he had always concealed his true strength.
Elder Brother Li had been dreaming of a girl whose appearance he could never quite make out. He felt that this girl was very important to him, yet he could never see her clearly. He searched for her in reality but could not find her no matter what until he saw various roles played by Chen Mu Yu on television. He felt a sense of familiarity and took Chen Mu Yu to be the girl from his dreams. However, when he approached Chen Mu Yu secretly, he found her presence unfamiliar and not entirely resembling the girl from his dreams. Thus, he stopped and only observed Chen Mu Yu from afar without making direct contact. Otherwise, given his excellence, it would be hard to say whether Chen Mu Yu would choose him or Sun Yuqin. It was precisely because of this uncertainty that Li Jinlang had not developed feelings for Chen Mu Yu—thankfully; otherwise, Elder Brother Li wouldn't have been so simple-minded—seeing Sun Yuqin and Chen Mu Yu meet and fall in love like a beautiful encounter in a poem did not evoke any jealousy in him. He still appeared beside Chen Mu Yu from time to time (especially when she was acting), watching her as she looked toward the girl from his dreams.
During this time, Li Jinlang was working alongside Sun Yuqin. With Sun Yuqin on leave, Li Jinlang also took a break. He saw Sun Yuqin visiting his girlfriend and thought of the girl from his dreams, so he secretly followed along. Upon arriving at the Film Studio, Li Jinlang heard beautiful piano music. He was sure he had never heard this piece before, yet it felt incredibly familiar; the name "Plum Blossom Three Variations" even popped into his mind. When he saw the person playing the piano, the image of the girl from his dreams became clearer in his mind. It wasn't Chen Mu Yu; the woman playing the piano was the girl he had been searching for all along. Without any hesitation, Li Jinlang stepped directly in front of her.
"Huh—" Hanno exhaled, "So it's you! I should have figured it out sooner. To be on par with Sun Yuqin's talent, and considering I've seen all the outstanding young talents in Star City over the years, I should have realized that I had never encountered you."
It was strange; every time Hanno attended various gatherings to find someone, Elder Brother Li was either on a mission or unable to attend due to family matters. For ten years, despite being on the same planet, they had never met.
"You've been looking for me?" Elder Brother Li asked with a hint of excitement.
Hanno smiled and pointed to her cheek, asking, "What do you feel when you look at me?"
Elder Brother Li answered honestly, "Very familiar; you look exactly like the girl from my dreams."
Hanno laughed; indeed, although her beloved husband had lost his memories of the modern world, deep down inside, he still remembered her.
Hanno cheerfully said, "Just like me! Actually, I gained memories of my past life when I was twelve. In my previous life, I had someone dear to me, and I'm certain he reincarnated into this era with me, which is why I'm searching for him!"
"That person must be me!" Elder Brother Li exclaimed joyfully. "It's me, right?"
Hanno nodded. "Isn't it obvious? Otherwise, how could we feel such an unusual familiarity with each other? Moreover, the True Essence within us is unique to both of us; we are Cultivators."
"True Essence? Cultivator?" Elder Brother Li pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "Is that a different cultivation method from body techniques and mental powers?"
"Yes," Hanno explained. "Cultivation is also known as immortality training; it involves absorbing Earth Qi from our surroundings and transforming it into True Essence within our bodies. This nourishes us and grants us immense power and endless lifespan."
"Elder Brother Li" asked, "Is it just like Xu Changqing from 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3' starring Chen Mu Yu and Ziyin Zhenren from 'Ancient Sword Legend'? Will one become an immortal after cultivating to the end?"
"Hanno" stared at "Elder Brother Li," making him feel uneasy, before she said softly, "Have you watched all the dramas starring Chen Mu Yu? You seem to pay a lot of attention to her."
"Elder Brother Li" quickly defended himself, "It's because she feels somewhat familiar to the girl in my dreams. At that time, I hadn't met you yet, so..."
"So you took her as me?" "Hanno" narrowed her eyes dangerously, her right hand clenched into a fist while her left hand pressed down on her right knuckles, making them crack. If "Elder Brother Li" nodded, she would definitely give him a makeover herself.
"Elder Brother Li" hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I didn't take her as you. The moment I got close to her, I knew she wasn't the girl from my dreams. Every time I approached her, it was just to remember you through her!"
Upon hearing this, "Hanno" felt satisfied and relaxed her fist, returning to her lady-like demeanor.
"I'm hungry now; let's go eat together."
"Yes! Your servant obeys!" "Elder Brother Li" followed behind "Hanno," cheerfully accompanying Her Majesty the Empress Dowager to dine.
Three years passed, and "Sun Yuqin" finally reached the Fifteen Levels of physical cultivation—thanks to the secret assistance from "Hanno" and "Elder Brother Li," who helped "Sun Yuqin" occasionally gain strength and mental power through lucky encounters with elixirs. Otherwise, even with all his efforts, it would have been impossible for "Sun Yuqin" to become a master in just three years. According to the family rules of the Sun Family, "Sun Yuqin" became the current head of the Liu Family after the former head of the Ren Family retired and became an elder focused on breaking through to the Sixteen Levels. The first thing "Sun Yuqin" did as head of the family was to annul his engagement with "Han Yongxia." Although many people in the Sun Family opposed this decision, they were suppressed by "Sun Yuqin's" absolute strength; most of those who remained supportive were young fans of Chen Mu Yu. Three years later, Chen Mu Yu's fame soared even higher, becoming a superstar across the galaxy and an idol for all young people, establishing herself as the Queen of the entertainment industry with significant influence. Upon learning that she had a boyfriend, many young fans even staged a sit-in protest outside Chen Mu Yu's company. Ultimately, she had to reveal her boyfriend's true identity. When they discovered that Chen Mu Yu's boyfriend was Master Sun Yuqin, one of the Star City Twin Talents, those protesting retreated; only someone like him could be worthy of their idol. Thus, protests turned into blessings as voices on Star Network filled with fans wishing happiness for Chen Mu Yu and Sun Yuqin. At that time, however, Sun Yuqin and Han Yongxia had not yet annulled their engagement; everyone treated Sun Yuqin's legitimate fiancée as if she were invisible.
As for Sun Yuqin's decision to break off the engagement, the Han family was naturally unwilling and furious; Sun Yuqin was openly slapping their face. However, since both the Sun Family and Han Family belonged to one faction with intertwined interests, although angry, they had no choice but to accept Sun Yuqin's decision and sacrifice Han Yongxia. This was also one reason why Sun Yuqin dared to speak up about breaking off the engagement; he ensured that the Han family would not turn against the Sun Family over a single Han Yongxia and would ultimately annul the engagement. It was unfortunate for Han Yongxia! Sun Yuqin thought regretfully; Han Yongxia was much more outstanding and interesting than other upper-class women. If it weren't for Chen Mu Yu's presence, perhaps he would have developed feelings for Han Yongxia and created a marriage that satisfied both families.
"Hanno" felt somewhat disappointed in the Han family's attitude; although she was very willing to break off her engagement with Sun Yuqin, being treated as a pawn by her family made it hard for her to feel happy despite her calm demeanor. Hanno had strong values and placed importance on relationships; even when dealing with relatives in another world, she treated them sincerely—only slightly less than how she treated Han Dad and Mom Han. Just like in the Flower Thousand Bones World, Hanno genuinely cared for Neon Sky and his wife; in order to prevent Neon Sky from being killed by Spring and Autumn alone, Hanno put in considerable effort for them—not only setting up protective formations around Penglai but also teaching them cultivation techniques so they could both advance to immortality together. In this world, although Hanno couldn't devote herself entirely due to internal issues within the Han family like she did for Neon Sky and his wife, she still secretly helped many within the Han family; otherwise, how could every young person in their family cultivate smoothly compared to others? Unfortunately, her efforts went unrewarded; Hanno had lost hope in this world’s Han family.
