"No, to be precise, Lin Yi is you," Chen Mo said.
Ye Yiren smiled without offering any rebuttal. Instead, she invited Chen Mo to sit across from her and poured him a cup of tea.
Chen Mo did not stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he raised the teacup and drained it in one gulp. "Go on, why did you call me here?"
"Naturally, I have something important to tell you," Ye Yiren said after taking a seat opposite him.
"What important matter?" Chen Mo raised a brow.
Yet Ye Yiren did not seem in a hurry to tell him. Instead, she spoke of something unrelated, her fingers brushing across the zither strings. "This zither is called Heavenly Sound. It was a gift from my lover in my past life."
Chen Mo's expression froze, and he inexplicably felt somewhat displeased. "Didn't you cultivate the Path of Heartlessness? Where did this lover come from?"
"Things you hear are not always true," Ye Yiren said. "Besides, when I fell in love with him, I had not yet stepped onto the Path of Heartlessness."
"Then who was your lover?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
"You've heard of him," Ye Yiren said.
"Hm?"
"The renowned Supreme God," Ye Yiren said calmly.
Chen Mo's eyes immediately widened. "Really?"
"Really."
Ye Yiren nodded with certainty, then said, "I only learned this after fully awakening the memories of my past life."
This was a huge secret, and Chen Mo could not help becoming curious. "Then how did you and the Supreme God fall in love?"
"We were childhood sweethearts, from the same place. We grew up together and cultivated together."
At this point, Ye Yiren could not help feeling melancholy. "But his talent was simply too great. Gradually, I could no longer keep up with him.
