"Jing Yan?!"
"Qing Chen?!"
"Lin Ling?!"
Fang Yue had never expected those three to be the Jing Yan trio!
As he watched the three rush toward him, Fang Yue froze for a moment, then his face lit up with undisguised delight. A smile blossomed across it.
Like rain after a long drought, or meeting an old friend far from home.
Fang Yue had read that poem when he was very young.
But this was the first time he'd truly understood its meaning, truly experienced the feeling of meeting an old friend far from home!
When he'd first arrived in Chu Nuan City, he'd felt so alone. There was no one he could trust, no one to rely on. He'd had to search for the Phoenix Organization all by himself, risking his life as he investigated step by step, until he'd finally made it this far.
Fang Yue had relied on himself for almost everything.
So, truthfully, Chu Nuan City had always felt rather cold to him.
Ancient Moon Village, Mo Village, Qingsi County... Of all the places he'd passed through, Chu Nuan City was the one he felt the least attached to.
Fang Yue had experienced firsthand what it was like to be a stranger in a strange land.
So now, seeing familiar faces and familiar friends suddenly appear here filled him with joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart.
A smile spread across his lips before he could stop it.
"How did you... How did you end up here?"
"Did Brother Ye forget?"
"Forget what?"
Jing Yan and Qing Chen exchanged a glance, then looked back at Fang Yue and said with a smile, "If we're still alive, we'll meet in Chu Nuan City!"
Fang Yue froze, then understood.
"You came... to help me?"
Fang Yue's eyes
