----------------------------------------------------------------

A ring-shaped shockwave intertwined with gold and silver hues erupted from the point where Lu Yuan and Gu Yuena's foreheads met. With an unstoppable force, it propelled them backwards.

Colliding with the space barrier, Lu Yuan tasted the metallic tang of blood in his mouth.

Very Good. It seems he got injured again.

Lu Yuan felt his internal organs, relieved to find them unharmed. The injury wasn't severe, just a minor internal bleeding. A bit of time and adjustment should fix it.

Now, what just happened? Lu Yuan's gaze shifted to Gu Yuena. He seemed to be waiting for her to offer a reasonable explanation.

Wiping away the silver blood from her mouth, Gu Yuena's pale face bore a trace of daze in her purple eyes. It was evident that she'd suffered a significant spiritual shock.

Fortunately, her god-level soul provided some resistance. After a brief period of trance, Gu Yuena raised her hand, and several objects materialized in the void.

Seeing this, shock flickered silently in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Her eyelids lowered, Gu Yuena's jade hand gestured gently, causing the objects to vanish. She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. Tentatively, she asked, "Who is he?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he instinctively surveyed his surroundings.

Brows slightly furrowed, Gu Yuena waved her hand to dismiss his weak perception, murmuring to herself, "Well, you probably don't know."

"?"

Observing Gu Yuena's self-directed conversation, an ominous premonition settled in Lu Yuan's mind. He hastened to ask, "What just happened? Did you see something or hear something? What am I supposed to know?"

Though it was impolite to be so direct, not asking might mean he'd never know the truth. Often, a lack of key information could misguide the whole situation.

Although rare, Lu Yuan wasn't willing to gamble on such odds. Besides, he had a record of winning every bet.

Placing a hand on her forehead, Gu Yuena hesitated before speaking.

The events had been complex and sudden, especially the latter half.

For a while, she couldn't find a suitable entry point to accurately and fully describe what had occurred.

Piecing together fragments of the narrative could only muddle the situation further, something Gu Yuena was well aware of.

Before explaining, there was something more important.

Taking a moment to organize her thoughts, Gu Yuena calmly said, "Next, let me tell you. Listen."

Lu Yuan nodded, acknowledging his readiness to listen.

Seeing his gesture, Gu Yuena continued, "First, he asked me to tell you to take care of yourself. This was part of a deal I made with him—to relay this message."

After briefly addressing this point, Gu Yuena delved into the specifics of the incident.

However, she didn't notice the increasingly serious expression on Lu Yuan's face.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, breaking the odd atmosphere in the space. "Do you even know what you're talking about?"

"Of course I do." Gu Yuena's brows furrowed in irritation.

What's with the "listen to me" attitude? Why is he so impatient?

Lu Yuan's gaze met Gu Yuena's confident eyes, and an unsettling feeling surged. He moistened his lips, his voice inadvertently tinged with dryness. "Then what did you just say?"

Gu Yuena's eyes twitched slightly, but she quelled the irritation and repeated herself, "I just said that—"

Silence. A deafening silence.

Her lips opened and closed, but after the first few words, no syllables escaped.

Unconsciously, Lu Yuan's facial muscles twitched. He took a deep breath, his five fingers silently extending to rest against the empty space behind him.

After a moment, Gu Yuena fell silent. Her purple eyes gazed upon the guarded boy.

Frowning slightly, she inquired, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan didn't reply immediately. The space remained still, the tension from earlier still hanging in the air.

After contemplating for a while, Lu Yuan finally opened his mouth.

"Do you know that in that space just now, there was no sound at all?"

Her lavender eyes paused briefly, and she unleashed a burst of powerful soul energy that swept across the entire space instantaneously.

Utilizing a significant amount of elemental power, Gu Yuena closed her eyes, as if extracting information from these elemental particles.

After a while, she ceased the futile action, sighing softly, "You weren't lying to me."

"Of course not."

"I know, I meant that you weren't lying to me."

She retorted in a slightly exasperated tone, her mixed emotions kept in check. Then, she quickly gestured for Lu Yuan to halt his barrage of curious questions.

The first statement she made wasn't a question. It was a fact. Initially, she'd doubted whether he was deceiving her, but upon calling upon the surrounding elements, she'd been astounded to discover that she had indeed produced no sound.

Only a few minor sounds had been produced, which held no significance in the context of the entire situation.

As she withdrew her hand, Lu Yuan posed a question.

"You didn't know?"

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and Gu Yuena nodded in silence.

A glint flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes. He began to formulate a conjecture.

However, conjecture wasn't enough. He needed more information, so he asked further.

"Have you met him?"

Gu Yuena nodded but immediately realized that her response wasn't entirely accurate. She hurriedly clarified, "I haven't met him in person, I've just... sensed him."

Silence engulfed the space once more.

Lu Yuan's eyes glinted, and he clapped his hands together with a resounding slap. The noise broke the nonexistent flow of Gu Yuena's description.

Gu Yuena was evidently taken aback by the sudden interruption.

The girl's expression became tinged with helplessness.

"Alright, don't dwell on it," Lu Yuan comforted the flustered silver-haired girl before him.

He understood that they were getting closer to the truth behind the situation.

He continued his line of questioning, "Where did you sense him?"

"Or does it have something to do with me?"

Gu Yuena nodded vigorously.

"I sensed him... in you."

As soon as she uttered those words, the space turned silent again.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at the sudden silence. It appeared to be another unspeakable topic.

Certainly, this being must be of immense significance.

Just like those fantastical constructs from his previous life—beyond direct perception, description, hearing, or imagination.

While he wasn't certain if these ancient deities truly existed, Lu Yuan had always maintained a principle after crossing into this world: It's better to believe in the existence of something than to deny it completely.

But with these attributes revealed, Lu Yuan was convinced that maintaining a respectful distance was vital.

Thus, after brief contemplation, he spoke seriously, "I believe I might have guessed something. To avoid any mishaps, I suggest that neither you nor I speak of this further."

Though this world was of a lower status, he could still faintly sense the existence of certain rules due to his martial soul. However, an entity that rendered Gu Yuena speechless must be a prehistoric behemoth.

Avoiding the topic was the safest approach. Even now, he felt grateful that the entity Gu Yuena encountered wasn't one that could only be seen and not heard. If that were the case, he'd be in a pretty grim situation.

As a transmigstor, he might not claim absolute nobility, but he certainly retained his basic dignity. He couldn't fathom facing beings neither human nor ghostly in appearance.
