795: Meeting in Another World

Xiao Hongdou thought carefully, but still didn't recognize Lin Mu.

Her gaze pierced through the barrier, looking towards Lin Mu outside the door. Upon seeing Lin Mu's true appearance, a memory sealed deep in her mind resurfaced like a tide.

Xiao Hongdou was stunned for a long time before she said in surprise, "He seems to be my deskmate, the prodigal son of the Lin family."

Sure enough, she recognized him... Gu Qing showed an expression of understanding.

However, what puzzled Gu Qing was, since Lin Mu was a Transmigrator, why didn't he have the arrogance of a Transmigrator, looking at everyone as if they were trash?

Lin Mu seemed to be full of reverence for the powerful cultivators of the Xuanhuan world, as if he were a native of this world.

"Perhaps he's an anomaly. I'll observe for a while, and if not, I'll kill him," Gu Qing thought to himself.

"Senior Brother, wait a moment, I'll go ask him if he's my deskmate."

Xiao Hongdou's expression was joyful.

There are three great joys in life: the wedding night, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and getting promoted and making a fortune.

She had encountered two great joys at once.

Lin Mu paced at the door, his expression uneasy, his eyes full of conflict.

He also didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.

If he angered Gu Qing because of this, the consequences would be more than he could bear.

But if he didn't see Xiao Hongdou, if he didn't clarify the situation, and if Xiao Hongdou was being forced, he would feel uneasy if he stood by and did nothing.

"Creak!"

The door opened, and Xiao Hongdou's joyful voice came out: "Classmate Lin, is that you?"

Looking at the bright young girl right in front of him, Lin Mu was momentarily stunned before he excitedly nodded: "It really is you, School Beauty Xiao."

"Classmate Lin, come in and sit down quickly."

Xiao Hongdou immediately invited him in warmly, poured him a cup of tea, and teased: "Classmate Lin must have known about me for a long time, so why are you only coming now? If you had come a step earlier, you could have caught my housewarming."

"I only came rashly because I heard you settled here."

Saying that, Lin Mu glanced at Gu Qing, who was admiring flowers in the garden, and said, "I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Not at all! Classmate Lin's visit makes my Senior Brother and I very happy."

Xiao Hongdou waved her hand, her joy genuine.

Although Lin Mu was an uneducated prodigal, his nature was not bad. He had helped her a lot during school.

After entering society, he had even saved her once.

She was full of gratitude towards Lin Mu. If it weren't for the long passage of time and their reunion in another world, she definitely wouldn't have forgotten Lin Mu.

Xiao Hongdou was a very talkative person. Her words were not only sharp but also sweet. Soon, she and Lin Mu were chatting about everything under the sun, laughing and smiling.

"She's still so vibrant and dazzling..." Lin Mu thought to himself.

Looking at the radiantly smiling Xiao Hongdou, how could Lin Mu not know the answer?

Thinking about it, it made sense. After so many years as a stranger in a foreign land, how could Xiao Hongdou not have changed at all?

Even he himself had changed.

It's just... seeing his former goddess marry a big shot from a Xuanhuan world, Lin Mu still felt incredibly sad.

If... if he had met Xiao Hongdou earlier, would things have been different?

Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in this world.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu took out a jade box, pushed it in front of her, and said, "This is my congratulatory gift. I wish you both a long and happy life together, and may your hearts be forever united."

"Thank you!"

Xiao Hongdou smiled and accepted it, at the same time taking out a jade box as a return gift.

Neither of them opened the boxes to check their contents immediately.

Xiao Hongdou said with emotion, "Classmate Lin, I never thought we would meet again in this vast and boundless world. Fate is truly wonderful."

"Indeed."

Lin Mu felt deeply, his heart filled with emotion, and said, "The world I first appeared in was not the Origin Continent, but a small cultivation world."

"The first time I saw flying cultivators, I thought I had seen immortals. I can't even describe how shocked I was."

"Oh, then how did you embark on cultivation? To be able to ascend to the Origin Continent, it seems Classmate Lin's cultivation talent is truly monstrous."

"On Earth, you were a poor student, but in another world, you're a prodigy. Indeed, everyone has their purpose; it was the world that limited Classmate Lin."

Xiao Hongdou praised him.

Although Lin Mu knew Xiao Hongdou was just being polite, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered inside.

But then he thought of the hardships he had endured over the years, and he couldn't smile anymore.

In truth, his cultivation aptitude was far from monstrous; it was practically rock-bottom, as bad as it could get.

But because he possessed a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he dared not join any sect, fearing that others would guess he harbored a secret.

So he could only be a rogue cultivator, struggling at the bottom, and was chased by powerful sect cultivators countless times.

The hardships and suffering involved were beyond words.

His purpose in joining the Star God Sect this time was not actually to join the Star God Sect, but for a spot in the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm.

However, after understanding the Star God Sect's doctrine, he developed a sense of belonging to the Star God Sect, which is why he chose to become a disciple and fully integrate into the divine sect.

"It's not easy for anyone."

Hearing Lin Mu's experiences, Xiao Hongdou was filled with emotion.

Lin Mu had endured countless hardships to ascend to the Origin Continent, and she was no different.

However, she was luckier than Lin Mu because she had Gu Qing and the System Little Eight.

Little Eight System was very useful for providing spoilers in the lower realms and the immortal realm, but after coming to the Origin Continent, it became completely useless.

Now, day after day, it only knew how to act cute and spoiled, constantly nagging her to upgrade it.

After chatting for a long time, Lin Mu stood up and bid farewell.

He finally understood why Xiao Hongdou wanted to marry Gu Qing.

His cultivation was so high, and his status was extraordinary, yet Lin Mu couldn't see the slightest arrogance or coldness of a powerful cultivator in Gu Qing.

He and Xiao Hongdou had been chatting here for so long, and Gu Qing didn't show the slightest impatience, simply admiring the flowers on his own.

This gave Lin Mu a sense of unreality, as if he was seeing a modern couple.

"This protagonist seems pretty good; I'll keep him for now," Gu Qing thought to himself.

Returning to his cave mansion, Lin Mu opened the jade box. After all, it was a gift from Xiao Hongdou, and it held extraordinary significance. Even if it was a small item, he wanted to keep it.

He would consider it a beautiful end to his past with Xiao Hongdou.

However, when Lin Mu looked closely, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"chaotic source crystals... and three of them."

Lin Mu's heart pounded wildly.

Originally, he didn't recognize chaotic source crystals, as they were too high-grade, treasures that a mere God Emperor like him couldn't possibly come into contact with.

But the Star God Sect had chaotic source crystals, and they were widely known, so it was hard for him not to recognize them... "Senior Brother, aren't you very curious why I know Lin Mu? Aren't you curious why I call him 'classmate'?"

Xiao Hongdou sat astride his lap, playing with Gu Qing's perfect fingers, and said with a smile.

Her expectant little expression practically screamed, "Ask me, ask me!"

Gu Qing chuckled inwardly and humored her with a question.

Xiao Hongdou immediately spilled everything like a torrent, revealing that she was a Transmigrator and all about the Little Eight System.

"Wuwu, Sister Hongdou, how could you expose me? What if he refines me? Won't Sister Hongdou lose her adorable Little Eight forever?" Little Eight cried and complained.

"Oh, come on. What is my Senior Brother's status? You still fantasize about my Senior Brother refining you? Little Eight, go to bed, everything is possible in your dreams," Xiao Hongdou teased.

Gu Qing activated his Dao Pupil and scanned Little Eight.

"It's not an independent system, but a mass-produced subsystem spirit. However, it's very lucky to have obtained an Innate Treasure, the Wordless Heavenly Book, which can deduce heavenly secrets."
