In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 29 Chen Jinxin, "Number One Under Heaven"

Upon finding the area, one finds a dozen or so bookshelves, each five or six meters tall, filled with relevant books.

"Sigh~"

Xie Lingxin casually flipped through a few books and found that they contained information about various dynasties and local customs that he was familiar with, down to the details of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

There are some things that we probably wouldn't have known in such detail even on Earth in our previous lives.

That's simply unbelievable.

How did people of this era know that?
After all, our ancestral planet is gone, so it's impossible for it to have left behind so many historical records that didn't even exist during Earth's time.

Clutching several thick books, I found a corner.

After reading it carefully, Xie Lingxin finally understood the reason.

These historical materials were all obtained from the realm of legends.

The Realm of Legends originated from human consciousness, and countless legends have been passed down from "ancient times" to the present.

Entering the legendary realm is almost equivalent to returning to the "ancient times".

How could I not know?
However, since it originated from legend, it inevitably contains some distortions and errors.

Moreover, not every dynasty has detailed historical records.

Xie Lingxin discovered that the historical materials from the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most numerous and complete.

It's not that there were no dynasties before that, but they were scattered and became fewer and fewer as you go further back in time.

"Are the realms of 'Floating Life' and 'Red Dust' mostly legends from the Ming and Qing dynasties onwards?"

He found the answer to this result in a book.

"Why can't I find it?"

He flipped through many books but couldn't find the style he saw in those few words.

Although not a history expert, Xie Lingxin could roughly determine that the figure's clothing was not from the Ming or Qing dynasties, but rather from before the Tang or Song dynasties.

This is troublesome...

The older the dynasty, the scarcer the historical records seem to be.

"Chen Lingguan, what are you doing here?"

Xie Lingxin was engrossed in reading a book when she suddenly heard a sound beside her.

I looked up and suddenly everything seemed to brighten up.

A girl, wearing a loose tracksuit and with her hair tied in a high ponytail.

Her simple attire couldn't hide the charm emanating from her beautiful face.

is her?

Xie Lingxin recognized the face.

I've seen it before on a giant projection screen in the city.

Chen Jinxin, daughter of the Chen family of Leizhou, is the champion of the junior girls' group at the World's Number One Daoist Conference.

When Xie Lingxin looked up, Chen Jinxin seemed to be slightly taken aback, then looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

wrong person?
Chen Lingguan?
Xie Lingxin's mind raced, and she made a guess.

Is this... him mistaking himself for Xie Lingguan?

The younger brother of the original incarnation was named Xie Lingguan.

Unexpectedly, the surname has now changed to Chen.

Yes, that's reasonable and expected.

However, the way she addressed me, using my full name, sounded a bit awkward.

It seems that she and her "brother" don't have a very good relationship?
Didn't she always call her predecessor "Brother Ling" before?

To her, Chen Lingguan should be "Brother Ling".

Is it because I've grown up?
At this moment, Chen Jinxin showed a bit of shyness and embarrassment. She thought that Xie Lingxin's silence meant that he did not believe her and probably thought that she was trying to flirt with him.
Indeed, this explanation is far too outdated; who would believe it?

But... this person really looks like Chen Lingguan.

Chen Jinxin is the most dazzling star of the younger generation in Leizhou, and her arrival has long attracted countless eyes.

At this moment, they were not far from Xie Lingxin.

A tall, slender woman with her long hair tied up high glanced at the two of them.

When Li Miaoyin saw Chen Jinxin, she was stunned for a moment: "Brother, that person looks like Chen Jinxin?"

The tall boy next to her had a face and features that perfectly illustrated the meaning of "carved with a knife and axe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes."

Li Jingzhe followed his younger sister's gaze, raising an eyebrow: "It's her." Li Miaoyin said with interest: "I heard that one of the Chen family's twin beauties is showered with affection and never shows any kindness to anyone. How could she be flirting with a man? Could that man be the other twin be?"

Li Jingzhe curled his lip in disdain: "Two prodigies? Chen Jinxin is indeed a rare genius, as for the other one... ha."

Li Miaoyin covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother, you're not jealous of her, are you?"

Meanwhile, on Xie Lingxin's side...

"You look a lot like one of my friends, so..."

Chen Jinxin mistook someone for someone else and was eager to explain, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake.

It's better not to explain; explaining makes it sound more like a routine.

Her pretty little face immediately turned rosy.

However, she was no ordinary young girl; her embarrassment and anxiety lasted only a moment before she simply let go.

He said, annoyed, "Okay, you probably don't believe me."

Xie Lingxin looked up at this unfamiliar old friend and sighed inwardly.

She probably didn't realize that this sudden change in emotion made her already beautiful face even more vivid.

"I believe."

Chen Jinxin was taken aback: "Huh?"

Could he really have some kind of relationship with Chen Lingguan?
Xie Lingxin laughed and said, "You're so beautiful, you're probably the one who gets hit on, right? Why would you hit on someone as ordinary as me?"

"Don't say that, you're actually very pretty too... Ah!"

As Chen Jinxin spoke, her face, which had just recovered, flushed red again.

I wanted to slap myself for saying something so misleading.

Xie Lingxin smiled slightly.

Is this the best in the world?

They don't seem to be very good at communicating with people.

She's a bit like that kind of female academic genius/bookworm from a past life.

Embarrassed and flustered, Chen Jinxin was eager to change the subject. Her gaze swept over the book in Xie Lingxin's hand, and a series of questions came out:
"Are you studying the history of ancestral stars? Are you quite knowledgeable about this?"

"Few people are interested in this, except for those in the ancient classics department. Are you from the ancient classics department?"

After asking the question, she realized that the handsome boy opposite her was staring at her without saying a word, and she immediately realized that she had done something stupid again.

That's an overreaction.

After much deliberation, I still didn't know how to make amends, so I gritted my teeth and decided to just leave it at that!

Whatever!
Xie Lingxin finally had a chance to speak: "It was just a little interest, but unfortunately, I couldn't find what I wanted to see."

Chen Jinxin blinked her big eyes: "What are you looking for? Why don't you tell me? I know a little about the history of our ancestral star, maybe I can help you."

She originally wanted to leave immediately; it was too embarrassing.

However, I felt bad for talking so much to someone right away, and I wanted to help them out before leaving.

Xie Lingxin's heart stirred.

This girl looks a bit silly, but she's still "number one in the world," even if she's only in the "teen girls' group."

They definitely have some skills.

"Um, do you have paper and a pen?"

Xie Lingxin looked at the books she was holding.

"Have."

Chen Jinxin took out a notebook and handed it over.

Xie Lingxin took it and started drawing on it.

Chen Jinxin craned her neck curiously.

"what?"

Finally, he simply sat down next to Xie Lingxin and leaned over to take a look.

Xie Lingxin suddenly smelled a delicate fragrance and glanced at the face so close to hers. The light shone on it, and she could see the fine downy hairs.

I didn't pay much attention and looked away to continue drawing.

"Can you take a look and see if I recognize it?"
