Although Jing Daoxian wasnât the type to spout words of wisdom and his words werenât pleasant, everything he said was very alluring. He even raised the possibility that Chess Mountain might be related to Earthâs Companion Beast.
Towards the end of the conversation, Zhou Wen could only say that he would consider it and didnât give Jing Daoxian an accurate answer.
Jing Daoxian looked confident as though he was certain that Zhou Wen would cooperate with him. After giving Zhou Wen his contact details, he staggered away.
âOld Zhou, do you think that old fellow, Jing Daoxian, is fooling us? He doesnât sound reliable no matter how I look at it. Is Chess Mountain really related to Earthâs Companion Beast? Can we determine that Chess Mountain is related to Earthâs Companion Beast just because itâs the watershed in ancient mythology? Isnât that too far-fetched?â Li Xuan whispered after Jing Daoxian left.
âWith his character, if Jing Daoxian dares to take the risk at Chess Mountain, he must have some confidence. He definitely hasnât been entirely truthful.â Zhou Wen also knew that Jing Daoxian definitely didnât have any good intentions. Regardless of whether Chess Mountain was related to Earthâs Companion Beast, Jing Daoxian only wanted to use them.
However, Zhou Wen had his own considerations, so he didnât directly reject Jing Daoxian.
He had to go to Chess Mountain. Even if he didnât go, The Thearch definitely wouldnât let him off. If he could pull Jing Daoxian along, it was hard to say who would be cannon fodder.
âNo matter how I think about it, this matter doesnât seem right. Even if what Jing Daoxian said makes sense, that Chess Mountain is a watershed in ancient mythology. It might not have anything to do with Earthâs Companion Beast. Furthermore, Chess Mountain is only a watershed in eastern myths. How do you explain the myths in other regions?â Li Xuan pondered.
âThereâs no such thing as a watershed in the myths of the other regions. From the source, the myths of the other regions have always been about the supremacy of the divine. Gods are rulers to begin with. Thereâs no such thing as a watershed,â Zhou Wen said after some thought.

Li Xuan thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. The few Mythical systems in the world were basically theocracies. There was nothing involving humans.
âIn short, I donât think that old fellow is reliable. The things regarding Wang Mingyuan are most likely unreliable,â Li Xuan said.
âWeâll eventually get the answers whether itâs true or not, but I have to make a trip to Chess Mountain.â Zhou Wen told Li Xuan about Chess Mountain, and Li Xuan also understood why Zhou Wen had to go to Chess Mountain.
âThereâs actually such a sick creature on Earth. Isnât it even more terrifying than the dimensionâs Apocalypse?â Li Xuan jumped in fright when he heard The Thearchâs omnipotent wish power.
âAt the very least, from what Iâve sensed, sheâs definitely not weaker than Transcendent Immortal.â Zhou Wen sighed.
âThen why are you going? Arenât you sending yourself to your death?â Li Xuan shouted.
âShe wonât let me off even if I donât go. I can sense that after the bet, thereâs an inexplicable connection between us. I canât escape.â Zhou Wen smiled bitterly.
âThat f*cking sucks!â Li Xuan was rendered speechless.
Not long after returning to the ancient city, a message appeared on Zhou Wenâs phone. Zhou Wen couldnât help but be taken aback when he saw the sender and content of the message. âLittle Wenwen, Iâm back in Luoyang. Come to Luoyang when you have the time. Itâs been a long time since I had a good chat with you.â The sender was Zhou Wenâs father, Zhou Lingfeng
Zhou Wen replied before heading to Luoyangâs An family.
He hadnât seen Zhou Lingfeng in a long time. He could also take the opportunity to visit Yaâer in Luoyang.
Luoyang in March remained a little chilly. When the wind blew on his face, there was a knife-like coldness.
In front of the An familyâs mansion, a man in a white military uniform and a large cloak stood at the door, his face expressionless.
Behind him stood a smiling man, and in front of him was a beautiful girl who looked like a doll.
The girl didnât say a word when she saw Zhou Wen. She shook off the manâs hand that was holding hers and ran to Zhou Wen. She threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck tightly.
âYaâer.â Zhou Wen picked up Yaler and gently stroked her head. His originally impetuous mood seemed to calm down significantly.
âYoung Master Wen,â An Sheng greeted with a smile.

Before Zhou Wen could answer, he heard An Tianzuo say indifferently, âUncle Zhou and Mom are waiting for you inside for dinner.â Zhou Wen nodded at An Sheng and carried Yaâer into the An family residence.
Ouyang Lan was the same as before. She didnât seem to have changed much, but Zhou Lingfeng looked much older than before.
Although he still looked as refined and casual as before, there were many white hairs around his temples.
Ouyang Lan warmly invited Zhou Wen to sit down. An Jing also sat by the side. Their eyes met, but neither of them said a word.
Zhou Wenâs present state of mind was completely different from when he first arrived in Luoyang. He had this meal in comfort.
He no longer cared about the thoughts and views of others. He had his own principles. He treated the kind with kindness, and returned with a fist to those who were malicious. There was no need to blame himself or pity himself.
âLittle Wenwen, have a cup of tea with me. Itâs been a long time since we sat down for a chat.â After the meal, Zhou Lingfeng called Zhou Wen over and the two of them went to the small garden in the backyard.
A pot of tea and two people. Under the cold moonlight, steam from the tea rose.
Zhou Lingfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, he suddenly said something Zhou Wen had never expected. âHave you been to Xiyuan Store?â
âHow did you know?â Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
Zhou Lingfeng didnât answer as he continued, âHave you seen that silver-haired Companion Beast? How does it feel?â
âWhat feeling?â Zhou Wen felt that Zhou Lingfengâs question was out of the blue. He didnât know what he was referring to.
âMy Companion Beast isnât bad, right?â Zhou Lingfeng asked again with a smile.
Pfft!
Zhou Wen spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
He stared at Zhou Lingfeng with widened eyes and said in disbelief, âWhat did you say? That silver-haired Companion Beast is your Companion Beast?â
He never expected Zhou Lingfeng to say such words. In fact, he still found it unbelievable despite hearing it with his own ears.
âWhy? Is it difficult to accept that I have a Companion Beast?â Zhou Lingfeng said with a faint smile.
âItâs not difficult to accept you having a Companion Beast, but that Companion BeastâŠâ Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss for words.
âHeâs indeed different. He can be said to be my Companion Beast, but also not,â Zhou Lingfeng said calmly.
âWhatâs going on? Isnât that silver-haired Companion Beast the former principalâs⊠which is your current father-in-law?â Zhou Wen was filled with puzzlement.
âYouâre right. He was indeed separated from me by Father-in-law,â Zhou Lingfeng said with a nod.
âWhatâs going on?â The more Zhou Wen heard, the more confused he became.
âItâs a long story. I have to tell you a story. Itâs a touching love story.â Zhou Lingfeng took a sip of tea as though he was immersed in his memories. He also seemed somewhat nostalgic and smug.
