The sage was determined to die.

Sometimes you have to admit it, some people have a magical power that makes you want to punch them the moment they open their mouths.

The girl felt as if she had been set ablaze, an inexplicable fire blazing outwards, which ironically added an indescribable anger to her otherwise calm expression.

"So, fellow villagers are cheating on each other?"

The girl clenched her fists, and for some reason, her anger subsided and she calmed down.

She maintained her distance from Ji Bai. Even though she had already revealed her true identity to him, the two seemed even more distant from each other. She neither told him her name nor took off her disguise.

The girl lowered her head slightly, smiled mockingly, and said, "Ji Bai, I'm really jealous of you."

"However," she tilted her head slightly, looking at the other person, and said sarcastically, "don't people who have everything sometimes feel even more miserable?"

Ji Bai seemed not to understand what she meant. The girl tapped her temple with her finger and said to herself, "If you remember everything and forget nothing, wouldn't you want to go back even more?"

"Only those who have lost everything can start over; only those who have lost half will desperately try to get it back. So what about you, who haven't lost anything yet?"

She slightly raised her chin, her gaze towards Ji Bai clear and bright. This conversation, which only the two of them could understand, poured down like a damp drizzle, and a silent melancholy spread at this moment.

Like peeling back layers of an onion to remove a disguise, she sighed and said, "Don't you think you're pathetic?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Bai seemed to still not understand her words. "You're not trying to reason with me and make me feel inferior, are you?"

The girl simply shook her head slightly. She said, "We received the same education, didn't we? Coming into this world, no one understands you. Like a rootless plant falling on barren soil, what else can you do but wither and die?"

Ji Bai looked up. He could understand what the other person was saying. He and the girl were different, but at times they were quite similar.

"I understand." Ji Bai's words carried a rare sincerity as he said to the girl, "It seems this is why you're so desperate to get out. But then what?"

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet: "Being trapped in a place like this is no different from being in a cage, but what happens after we get out?"

Ji Bai smiled, a hint of something flickering in his eyes.

After a while, he sighed, as if he understood something, and said, "Never mind, even though there's a deaf person outside, at least it's much bigger than here."

Clearly, Ji Bai's words puzzled and surprised her greatly, and after saying that, he actually turned around and left.

The girl, who had been prepared for the other party to make a move, was now truly unsure of what the other party was thinking.

"You..." She instinctively wanted to call out to the other person, "You're just leaving like this?"

Ji Bai even waved to her, his voice slowly drifting over from afar: "Since you've already shared your personal journey like this, it would be too much of a fool for me not to follow."

The other person's illogical words clearly showed that she had no intention of trusting them at all. They had just said so many things, a mix of truth and lies, just to confirm one thing.

The girl opened her mouth, her voice very low: "So you really can get the third Wenxin..."
