Chapter 196 Strange
After all, he had only just arrived, and his knowledge of the people and events of this unfamiliar land was arguably shallow and limited. It was like a lone boat lost in the vast ocean: though it could see the surroundings, it could not truly discern the undercurrents surging beneath the waves. It was also like a traveler in the fog, only vaguely perceiving the outline of the road ahead, yet unable to predict the countless twists and turns and obstacles awaiting him along the way. Therefore, facing this new and unknown environment, he was inevitably filled with confusion, bewilderment, and uneasiness.
Everything here seemed like a completely unfamiliar territory to him. Every corner and every scene seemed shrouded in a thick fog, full of endless unknowns and fascinating mysteries.
He slowly stepped into the land, his eyes scanning the surroundings with curiosity and caution. Ancient buildings stood in an orderly manner on both sides of the street, their mottled walls seeming to tell the vicissitudes of time; the narrow and winding alleys were like a maze, making people lose themselves in it but unable to resist exploring.
The air was filled with a strange aroma, one he had never smelled before, a mixture of herbs, spices, and some indescribable scent. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a slight coolness, but it also stirred up the deep uneasiness in his heart and his fear of the unknown world.
Perhaps only with the passage of time, through more contact and in-depth exploration, can he gradually uncover the truth hidden behind it.
What’s more important is that even the book that records the various situations here in detail seems to have never mentioned the existence of such a person!
This truly evoked confusion and curiosity! What kind of mysterious, unfathomable character could possibly spark such intense questions in Lu Yan? This question, like a fog, enveloped the mind, plunging Fang Congyi into deep contemplation.
Meanwhile, Fang Congyi's brow furrowed, his thoughts agonizing. Her clever mind raced with ideas, trying to unravel the mystery. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't find a satisfactory answer. As time passed, Fang Congyi grew increasingly anxious.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Fang Cong stared at Lu Yan with his mouth wide open, his heart surging with emotions.
She never expected that Lu Yan would suddenly throw out such a question that left her clueless.
Fang Congyi's once relaxed brows were now furrowed tightly together, as if squeezed by an invisible force, forming a deep furrow. His lips trembled slightly, like petals shivering in the cold wind, appearing so fragile and helpless. His bright, deep eyes blinked rapidly, as if trying to sort out the tangled thoughts in his mind.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains and pondered, he felt like a ship lost in the fog, unable to find a single clue to lead him out of this chaotic state of mind. Facing Lu Yan's expectant gaze and the silent atmosphere awaiting an answer, Fang Congyi felt an unprecedented pressure weighing heavily on his heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.
After a long and intense inner struggle, Fang Congyi felt as if he were in a whirlpool of chaos, his thoughts surging like a tidal wave. He felt the urge to bravely shoulder the responsibility of solving this thorny problem, yet was intimidated by the immense pressure and potential failure. Every thought felt like an arduous battle, leaving him exhausted.
However, reason ultimately triumphed over emotion. Fang Cong gritted his teeth and made the incredibly difficult decision—to throw this hot potato-like problem back to Lu Yan. Although he knew this might cause some controversy and dissatisfaction, at this moment, he had no choice. He simply didn't have the confidence or ability to handle such a complex and challenging situation.
She took a deep breath, as if sucking all the air around her into her chest. Then, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were carefully weighing each word and sentence in her mind. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, a look of caution and caution in her eyes. Then, she gently parted her lips and began to form her words in a soft, hesitant tone. The words flowed from her mouth one after another, like carefully arranged notes. Finally, when she felt she had perfectly put her meaning together, she paused, then skillfully posed this carefully considered question back to the other person, like tossing a precious gem, waiting for a response.
"Are you trying to say that, besides the woman named Yao Yaoyao, there are other people in this world who look so similar to her? You know, Yao Yaoyao is already a stunningly beautiful woman. If there were anyone else who could rival her, or even be on par with her, that would be truly unbelievable! After all, such a peerless beauty is usually unique and one-of-a-kind. I wonder who this person could be? Or is it just a momentary illusion on your part?"
The moment he uttered these words, Fang Congyi's piercing eyes, like two flashes of lightning, locked onto Lu Yan's ever-shifting features. He stared intently, watching every subtle muscle twitch and flicker of his gaze, trying to grasp even the slightest clue from these fleeting moments. Only by doing so could he gain a deeper understanding of Lu Yan's innermost thoughts and uncover the true intention behind his question. Time seemed to freeze in that moment, leaving only the two of them and Fang Congyi's intense scrutiny of Lu Yan's expression.
