There Really Was a Second Reincarnator in This World...
At this moment, Nan Xunran slightly turned her head and asked slowly, "Where is Qi Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ziheng immediately stepped forward, bowed his head, and replied, "He's been temporarily detained."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly and ordered, "Bring him here."
"Yes."
A short while later, a series of light footsteps approached from afar.
Qi Yan was led into the hall. His whole body was tightly bound with ropes, and he could only move his feet with difficulty.
His hair was slightly disheveled, and his gaze quickly swept over the crowd before finally landing on Nan Xunran, who was surrounded in the middle.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly, "You're finally awake!"
Nan Xunran gently waved her sleeve and said calmly, "Everyone except Ning Shi, step back."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zimo glanced at Ning Shi, his eyes filled with resentment.
Ning Shi looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowing slightly, filled with doubt.
The crowd withdrew one by one, and the hall immediately fell silent.
Nan Xunran tapped her finger lightly on the table beside her, making a crisp sound.
At the same time, a subtle ripple spread silently.
Qi Yan felt the restraints on his body suddenly loosen, and the ropes that tightly bound him fell off and piled up on the ground.
"Two Reincarnators, let's talk."
Although Nan Xunran's voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap in Qi Yan and Ning Shi's ears.
Both of them were startled, and they looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Ning Shi's face, hidden beneath the mask, trembled slightly. His eye twitched, and he exclaimed in horror, "You..."
Qi Yan's face was filled with disbelief, his eyes wide open. "Impossible! There are actually Reincarnators in this world?"
Ning Shi's hand slowly reached upwards, touching the edge of the mask.
He then removed the mask.
The scar that ran across half his face was instantly revealed, like a hideous centipede crawling on his face.
He raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yan.
The moment Qi Yan's gaze fell upon the scar, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the aura of Spacetime Fragment? Was he injured by Spacetime Fragment?"
Ning Shi slightly, his expression complex.
Qi Yan stood frozen in place, as if carved from wood, for a long time before recovering from his shock, muttering repeatedly, "There really is a second Reincarnator..."
Then, he leaned forward, his body slightly bent, and asked impatiently, "How do you reincarnate?"
Ning Shi spoke in a flat tone, as if he were recounting something trivial. "When you die, you are reincarnated."
A helpless, bitter smile appeared on Qi Yan's face as he shook his head, "... I'm just that miserable."
Ning Shi frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "What?"
Qi Yan scratched his head in frustration, a deep sorrow in his eyes. "I reincarnate within three days. On the fourth day, even if I don't die, I will reincarnate again."
Ning Shi's expression froze, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
"... Then you've really had a tough time."
Qi Yan excitedly took a step forward, "Right!"
Ning Shi deliberately lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever been killed by the lord?"
Qi Yan shook his head decisively, "No."
Ning Shi was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he finally spoke softly, "... Then I'm the one who's worse off."
Qi Yan was slightly taken aback, and let out a puzzled "Huh?"
Ning Shi waved his hand helplessly and sighed, "Every time I reincarnate, I die because of my lord."
Qi Yan's eyes darted around, then a look of sudden realization dawned on him. "Well, you're quite clever; this time you've gone straight to him."
Ning Shi nodded slightly and asked, "Have you submitted to your lord?"
Qi Yan scratched the back of his head, looking rather dejected, and said, "I've submitted, but I haven't agreed yet."
Ning Shi reached out and patted Qi Yan's shoulder hard. "Keep it up."
Then, his gaze turned sharp. "If the lord doesn't agree, you'll probably be leaving here lying on your back today."
Qi Yan curled his lip, his tone full of indifference. "So what if I die? Why make it sound so fancy?"
Having reincarnated so many times, he had long since become indifferent to life and death.
Thinking it over, he slightly raised his chin and looked at Ning Shi, "Then can't you put in a good word for me?"
Ning Shi looked at him as if he were a fool, her voice icy. "I am the master's man, and I shall obey the master's orders."
He straightened his back and said solemnly, "If the Lord commands you to live, you must live. If the Lord commands you to die, you must die."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged helplessly and muttered, "Alright, alright."
He turned his gaze to Nan Xunran, clasped his hands tightly, and said earnestly, "Please accept me as your disciple."
Nan Xunran's gaze slowly moved upwards, looking at the top of Qi Yan's head.
There, an invisible number is slowly climbing.

P. S.: I haven't decided yet whether my new book will have a single female lead, multiple female leads, or no female lead. Any suggestions? (^_^)
