A Longstanding Miscalculation

"What have you been doing lately? Why have you been leaving early and coming back late every day?"

The moment Mu Feng opened the door, he saw her cool, exquisite face, just as expected.

Mu Feng froze for a moment. After confirming that no one stood behind Di Qiuli, he said, "Come in first."

"I'm preparing to leave."

"Why?"

Mu Feng fell silent.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know either."

"Does it have something to do with your recent trip to Sea God Island?"

"To some extent."

Standing beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Mu Feng looked down at the brightly lit streets below and said, "I never thought I would be able to graduate from the academy peacefully. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Di Qiuli fell silent. She also knew that Mu Feng belonged to the Holy Spirit Cult, but he clearly had no intention of returning there. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

After a while, Di Qiuli finally asked, "When are you leaving?"

"After the auction ends?"

"The auction?"

Mu Feng had always thought Di Qiuli had seen his memories from his previous life that day and learned his greatest secret—that he was a reincarnator. He had never verified it and had simply assumed it was true.

Thus, Mu Feng spoke of the upcoming auction without reservations. "I'll leave after getting the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo. If something unexpected happens during the ambush, I might leave that very night."

But Mu Feng did not know that the memories Di Qiuli had seen were limited to his experiences in the village. When Mu Feng confidently revealed what would happen next, Di Qiuli's eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.

"Is everything you said true?"
