Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Through the mist, Gu Xijiu saw a small pavilion. A person was sitting there. Her heart skipped a beat. In her subconsciousness, she knew that this person was the one she was looking for and surged toward his direction.

Though the pavilion was visibly just a short distance away from her, she could not seem to reach it even after running for hours. She could only vaguely see the figure of the person sitting there, possibly meditating. The person sat there motionless like a Buddha.

She could not catch sight of that person’s visage, but she could descry a red box situated on top of that person’s knees. Because of the distance, she could not make out the exact form of that box, but she could see an emerald green gem glowing on top on its lid.

Gu Xijiu stood from a distance and gazed at the small pavilion. She felt that that person was not a human, but a jade statue instead. And that person looked to be holding a bracelet that was shining gold and glimmered faintly with the seven colors of the rainbow.

That person kept on staring at the bracelet in a posture that seemed that it would last till eternity! Gu Xijiu’s suddenly leaped with excitement! Although that person was not wearing purple, her sixth sense told her that that person was the one she was looking for!

“Hey, who are you?” Since she could not run over there, she resorted to shouting instead.

That person did not move nor speak and seemed to have no intention of looking at her. Gu Xijiu kept on trying to discern that person’s face but to no avail due to the thin layer of mist.

She continued to shout at that person but received no response as well. Could that really be a jade statue? Gu Xijiu felt that this scene was vaguely familiar and had an odd sense of déjà vu but could not seem to put her finger on it.

The melody of a flute seemed to sound from the distant darkness. The melody was soft and extremely pleasant to the ears. Since she could not run to that direction, she decided to sit on a boulder and listen to the tune. The melody was oddly familiar. Although it was a jolly piece, she felt like shedding tears for some reason.

After some time, the melody stopped, and a shroud of mist enveloped her. After the mist dissipated, she could no longer see any trace of the small pavilion and the white-shirted person.

She looked everywhere in a daze and found out that she was standing in an abyssal cave. Its interior was enigmatic and haunted by countless noises that resembled the terrifying shrieking of beasts.

Where was that white-shirted person? Gu Xijiu felt dismayed. She scanned the surroundings in the cavern but could not find any trace of that person.

Could he have hidden inside the depths of the cave? Gu Xijiu pursed her lips and decided to go deeper. From the dark void, a voice began to emerge. “Don’t persist on looking for him anymore. You have no fate with him.”

That voice was magnetic.

“Who are you?” Gu Xijiu took the opportunity to ask.

That voice just sighed in response. “Since it’s someone who you don’t share a fate with, why bother asking?”

“Who are you?” Gu Xijiu pressed on the question.

That voice went into silence for a long time. When it began to sound again, it did not answer Gu Xijiu’s question. “Must you really look for him?”

She must, right? Gu Xijiu felt that she had formed a strong resolve to find that person. She nodded her head in response, “I must!”

“Why do you want to look for him? What if he no longer exists or has changed?”

“I’ll deal with it once I’ve found him!” Gu Xijiu did not know why she wanted to find that person as well; all she wanted to do was to find him first...
