Get the perfect music system at the start

When Xu Fan suddenly walked out of the school, he was stunned. It wasn't a sudden, fleeting moment, but rather a feeling of shock and bewilderment. This feeling made them suddenly realize that the occurrence of something often brings the resolution of many problems. For example, Li Xiaoran's disappearance was completely unpredictable for many, including his friends, teachers, and roommates. They felt that this was something they couldn't decide or even imagine. However, when these problems arose, he suddenly felt that perhaps the answer was right in front of him. At that moment, he suddenly thought of someone: An Lanyue. Just as he was contemplating this in the depths of his mind, the girl suddenly appeared not far in front of him. The girl seemed to appear and disappear without a trace, or rather, she was always by his side. Whenever he had such a thought, she would appear before him, as timely as a system. This made him feel somewhat strange deep down. Why was it that he could maintain such a distance from her, yet...

Yet they always seemed so connected, or rather, so intuitively in tune. Because, in a sense, Xu Fan's thoughts hadn't been spoken aloud, nor expressed verbally. So, under what circumstances did An Lan Yue know he wanted to see her, and why did she appear before him? But that was a real person, a friend he had fought alongside, a teammate he had once fought alongside. So, how could she know his thoughts under these circumstances? When Xu Fan pondered this question, he was truly shocked. He suddenly understood that cultivators couldn't simply cultivate immortality; they could not only make their bodies more robust, but more importantly, they might possess a special kind of telepathy, or a special magical power, that allowed them to sense the person they wanted to perceive. At this moment, Xu Fan suddenly realized that he was still far, far away from that path. Even now, perhaps because of some connection with An Lan Yue, he couldn't grasp the essence of this so-called magic or...

While he couldn't compete with them in certain specific techniques, Xu Fan clearly understood one thing: there was a special connection between him and An Lanyue. Whenever he needed An Lanyue, she would appear before him. He looked at An Lanyue and started walking forward. An Lanyue seemed to sense his presence and ran to him, looking at him earnestly and saying, "You don't need to ask me why I knew you wanted to see me. Because in a sense, you and I are one. This isn't about our souls or spirits, but a connection between us. We must be in this situation to control the future. I'm here to protect you, or rather, from the moment I accepted my father's request and orders, I understood that I had to protect you for a period of time. During this time, I had to do some special things for you. So when you want to see me, I will naturally appear before you. For example, right now, when you're thinking of seeing me, I've come. That's all."

Xu Fan knew that this was the answer he had already expected, so he did not hesitate at all. He knew that he no longer had time to think about the essence of this matter. He knew that at this moment, he could only discuss the essence of Li Xiaoran's disappearance with An Ran. So he looked at An Lanyue and asked calmly and gently.

"So you actually know all the questions I'm thinking about deep down. What I want to know is where Li Xiaoran and my friends, whether it's Xiao Pu, Han Zilu, or even Chen Yuanyuan, are now. Have they been captured, or have they been affected by some kind of special magic? I want to know the answer to this question. Can you tell me?"

In fact, An Lanyue had already discussed this issue with Xu Fan, but Xu Fan had never seriously considered its essence before. Upon hearing Xu Fan's question, he simply smiled slightly, shook his head, and after a moment of contemplation, spoke again: "Actually, you already know the answer, or rather, the answer itself is something you created. When you gave up everything to find the answer, you should have known, just like when Chen Yuanyuan went to the Kingdom of Gran alone for Li Xiaoran and Xia Ziling's last remaining memories in this world. Ultimately, everyone's goals and thoughts are aligned. So, the disappearance of Li Xiaoran and Han Zilu is a special symbol. Do you remember what I told you before? When you become someone who can't fight like others, or someone completely different from others, you are no longer an ordinary person. When you become a cultivator, the people around you naturally become more complex and less ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan was slightly taken aback. Subconsciously, many thoughts flashed through his mind. He suddenly realized that perhaps there was some affirmation or intervention from cultivators behind this matter. If this was the case, then he might be facing the greatest danger in his history. So how could he solve this problem? Xu Fan fell into deep thought.

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 1059 & Chapter 1069: Which organization are you from?===

Xu Fan had thought about it many times in his heart, but he had never been so worried before.

This worry came from the depths of his heart. Before this, Xu Fan's personal abilities were exceptional. Whether in music or literature, no one could rival him, or even compare. In a sense, Xu Fan represented not only himself, but the pinnacle of another world—the pinnacle of music and the pinnacle of literature. In this context, Xu Fan was comparing himself to another world; who could possibly compete with him? He understood this. But before this, he had never felt this way. Therefore, he had never considered what he might worry about or think about, because everything was governed by the system, or rather, relied on the system. But when this happened, when everything was laid bare before him, when Pu Sihan and Li Xiaoran…?

When all of these people disappeared, he suddenly realized that perhaps some things were not as simple as he had imagined, or rather, not as complicated as he had imagined. What we all need to do now is simply to express a certain thing perfectly enough, and then disappear. Everyone clearly understood this, including Xu Fan himself. So when he saw what An Lanyue said, he suddenly realized that perhaps some problems in this world were completely different from what he had imagined. Whether it was cultivation or ordinary life, whether it was the most important things in society or simple matters, he clearly understood that perhaps he should do something else to change these problems, even if these problems had no possibility of change or modification for the time being. He also clearly understood that perhaps in the time to come, he needed to seriously consider this issue.

At least in Xu Fan's view, as long as he hasn't found Li Xiaoran, Han Zilu, and Pu Sihan, all problems are not problems, or all problems are problems that he needs to solve and think about seriously. No matter what form these problems take or what the final result will be, it's always a good time to do something and to seriously describe or depict everything in this world. So, in this situation, what Xu Fan needs to do is seriously think about the future. An Ranyou's gaze was always on Ping Xu, and Xu Fan was calm but a little nervous because he clearly understood that perhaps in the coming time, Xu Fan would do many different things. You know, before he even met Xu Fan, his father had already told him that Xu Fan was not an ordinary person, but a truly excellent cultivator.

Xu Fan's demands had been witnessed or confirmed by him over time, so he was well aware that his study buddy's personal abilities were terrifying, or that Xu Fan's abilities were truly unmatched by others. Under these circumstances, Xu Fen also wondered if one day he could use something necessary to think about certain special questions, such as whether he should search for answers with Xu Fan. Of course, the feeling between him and Xu Fan wasn't love, but rather a possessive or intentional emotion. So, when Xu Fan was thinking or wanted to see him, he appeared before him. At that moment, both of them forgot everything else, all their emotions were contained, and they looked at An Lanyue with mutual affection. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke:

According to your understanding, everything in this world seems different, or rather, what we all think and what we see are different. So, could we look for something else? For example, should we do something special? The person we're looking for certainly won't appear before us. In other words, in the coming period, we might be facing a group of true cultivators standing at the pinnacle of this world, right?

Xu Fan's question was gentle, even simple, but it undeniably revealed, in a sense, the very thing he, Suo Qidai, was worried about. Everyone knew Xu Fan was incredibly capable, one of the most outstanding cultivators, yet he couldn't think things through or grapple with others. He seemed to understand that what he needed to do in the coming period was to figure out how to express himself effectively and achieve the most important outcome. Therefore, when she looked at An Lanyue, her eyes were filled with a different kind of emotion. At that moment, Nan Yue also watched intently, having pondered for a long time, as if making a decision. She then spoke:

In fact, we all know the final answer, but we've never thought about it, or considered whether such an answer is acceptable to us. So, in a sense, it's precisely because we can't accept or think about those answers that we haven't truly engaged with them. We all know we can no longer find them, or at least not at this moment, yet we're still searching. We know we're facing a group of great, or rather, mysterious heroes, but we can't think about them, can't solve their problems, can't seriously engage with them. So, we can only solve a specific problem. My wife clearly understands the underlying issues, perhaps because she has no way to think about them herself, she can only express them according to her own ideas. So what I want to tell you is that we can't solve these so-called problems; we can only use these problems to solve them. We've already discovered, or may discover in the future, that everyone in this world is not an ordinary person. At least most of the people we encounter are actually organized groups with special powers. So, do you still think this world is an ordinary world? Do you still think everyone in this world is simple? I think you should wake up now.

Xu Fan and An Lanyue's conversation sounded simple, but in a sense, it represented a special emotion, or a kind of fusion of feelings between them. It was a heartfelt exchange; in a sense, both Xu Fan and An Lanyue were revealing their innermost thoughts to each other, explaining the most important, simple, and fundamental issue in society today: this world is no longer the world of ordinary people; everything in this world is controlled by so-called cultivators. Under these circumstances, no one can truly decide the occurrence or end of an event. Therefore, we must confirm or consider how we should face it. This is a tacit understanding that Xu Fan and An Lanyue reached after a long period of communication.

Xu Fan and An Lanyue both understood deep down that their experiences were different, or at least their worlds and circumstances were different. No one knew what stories would unfold in the coming period. One thing both Xu Fan and An Lanyue were certain of was that the people they faced would no longer be the so-called fans, or the ordinary crowds of the past, but a group of true cultivators standing at the pinnacle—a different kind of people. At this moment, Xu Fan naturally felt a surge of tension, a sense that this matter was not so simple. Just then, his inner turmoil suddenly intensified; his brows furrowed deeply, and he looked at An Lanyue with a similar tension, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Those three simple words actually encapsulated everything behind the matter, or rather, they conveyed the final outcome. At this moment, his inner tension was at its peak because he had suddenly noticed something—something that had just happened. He had suddenly discovered a person standing not far from Xu Fan and An Lanyue. That person wore a black hat, a black jacket, black pants, and black shoes. In short, the person seemed shrouded in darkness, making them difficult to see. If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime, An Lanyue might not have seen them at all. When he saw that figure, or rather, that shadow, he suddenly felt as if the world had changed. His inner tension reached its peak, a tension that left him speechless and unsure of what to do.

It wasn't until he suddenly heard Xu Fan ask, "What's wrong?" that he realized what was happening. A surge of emotion welled up between the beautiful mother and son. He instinctively looked into the distance and said earnestly, "We always think danger will never get closer. We always think those so-called cultivators, or those so-called dangers, are still far away. But do you know, right now, those cultivators are right behind you, right in front of me."

After An Lanyue finished repeating her simple words, Xu Fan felt an intense tension welling up inside him. The emotional turmoil nearly brought him to the brink of collapse. If it weren't for An Ran standing in front of him, offering a sliver of comfort, he might have already lost his anger. His mind raced, and he instinctively turned around. But when his gaze fell upon the distance, he found nothing. An Ran had clearly told him that Director Yuan was standing there, dressed in black and wearing a black hat. That person was right there, not moving anywhere. Yet, Xu Fan couldn't see anything. He clearly understood that perhaps he simply lacked the ability to grasp that aspect of things. At this moment, he possessed a certain self-awareness, but he firmly believed every word his master had spoken. He understood that the issues he was discussing were things he couldn't comprehend—that is, things behind him.

To be precise, right now, in front of him was a man, a man dressed in black clothes, black pants, and black sunglasses. Perhaps he couldn't see his shadow yet, but Xu Fan knew very well that he was standing there, or sitting there. At least Xu Fan knew very well that there was definitely someone there, because he trusted An Lanyue's judgment from the bottom of his heart. Since An Lanyue said there was someone behind him, then there must be someone there. Even if he couldn't see him himself, he felt that perhaps he just hadn't come into contact with this aspect yet.

A peculiar voice came from An Lanyue and her son. He shook his head, looked at Xu Fan, and then at the dark figure standing in the distance. The quiet cemetery was devoid of thought; even their movements seemed utterly simple. Xu Fan suddenly felt he should do something, or say something, but he also felt he could see nothing, could do nothing, so what was the point of saying anything? At that moment, An Le seemed to understand Xu Fan's thoughts. He stepped forward and stood beside Xu Fan, looking into the distance. Although Xu Fan couldn't see him, he clearly saw the black-clad man standing before him. He looked at the man in black clothes and a black hat and couldn't help but speak: "If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't be standing here, at least not at this time. So, I want to ask what your purpose is in being here, or what your significance is. What should we do? How can we prevent this from happening? I don't want to hear any other signals in the coming days."

This was An Lanyue's self-confidence, and also her simple answer to the other party. In a sense, this answer actually indicated that her position was with Xu Fan, and of course, she was friends with Xu Fan, and naturally considered the issue from Xu Fan's perspective. So, her position was very simple, even simple. On the other side, the person wearing black clothes and a black hat did not speak. He just stood there silently for a long time, then suddenly turned around and walked forward. It seemed that he had discovered something about An Lanyue and felt that this matter could not end so simply. So, he chased after the middle-aged man wearing black clothes and a black hat and ran forward.

He had some questions deep down that he wanted to know. He didn't know if the other person would give him an answer. At that moment, he knew very well that he had to find that answer. He ran after him and asked, "Which organization are you from?"

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 1060 The Answer from Another World===

Xu Fan was filled with tension. In his mind, the man in black clothes and a black hat might be his greatest enemy. So, it was natural for him to be nervous. However, as he looked at the man, he wondered if he should do something else. He suddenly remembered the question he had asked. So, he kept his gaze fixed on the man. The man didn't answer the question, or even look at the spot-removing liquid, as if Xu Fan didn't exist. He just glanced calmly at An Yue beside Xu Fan and then said, "You can't protect him, and you don't need to. I'm not here to see him, or rather, I'm not here for him. I'm here to find you. Someone told me from somewhere that you're doing well in this world. I don't like that, and I don't want to say that I'm here to find you. Shouldn't you leave him and come with me to that world you've always wanted to go to but have never been to?"

This is truly a question that puzzles everyone, or rather, it's something that's hard to understand: Where exactly does An Lanyue want to go? Why? It's said that he's always wanted to go to my world but has never been there, so why use the word "world" to describe that place? When he heard the middle-aged man say those words, those who were in the middle of the tension subconsciously looked at An Lanyue in front of them. An Lanyue was calm and gentle. At this moment, he didn't answer, nor did he say anything of refusal or doubt. He just stood there calmly, without any thoughts, as if this matter had nothing to do with anyone else. Knowing that Xu Fan had been staring at her for a long time, she suddenly reacted, looked down at the heavy-hearted man, and said, "In a sense, I am a soldier, even though I am a girl. But since my father gave Lin this order, I will never give up before the mission is completed. In other words, protecting her is the most important thing in my life; it's etched into my bones. So, whether I can protect her or not, whether I should be standing here to protect her or not, I will never give up before completing this mission. You see, even if you use that time to attract me—yes, I must admit I do like that time, and I yearn for that time—when my father went to that world, I clearly understood that one day I would definitely go to that world to see its scenery, to see everything there, no matter how different it may be. I believe that during that time, it will be beautiful. But before completing this mission, I will never give up like this."

This was An Lanyue's most certain answer, and also a question that made people seriously consider. So, what followed was both tense and incredibly moving, because she clearly understood that the person she was supposed to protect was herself, and that the mission was to protect her. Therefore, she felt a special emotion at this moment, mostly gratitude. Even though her martial arts skills or personal abilities had already surpassed many others, hearing these words still moved her deeply—a sense of responsibility and protection. She was truly touched at this moment, and also felt a special affection for Alair. Looking at Alanye, she said, "Actually, you know, whether it's me or anyone else, perhaps we haven't done well enough in this world, or perhaps we've done quite well. But no matter the circumstances, right now, my personal abilities are already quite considerable. If you want to leave or go somewhere, I definitely won't say you can go wherever you want. I won't try to persuade you or say anything else. I won't do anything else because I clearly understand that both you and I have our own dreams and ideas deep down. We all have our own goals, and we all have our own futures to pursue. So you can make your own choice without worrying about what my master thinks."

An Lanyue's words were simple, even extremely calm. But when she heard Xu Fan say those words, she felt a sense of urgency. Of course, she wanted to go to the place she longed for, the place her father had already visited. And when Xu Fan said those words, she knew Xu Fan wanted that answer. The answer was simple, but she didn't know how to reply. Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly seemed to have something to do. He came to An Lanyue's side and looked at her with an expression that seemed to hold the most unspeakable words in the darkness. Because no one knew what he represented, just like the question Xu Fan had just asked: which organization did he belong to? The man in black didn't offer any answers. He simply stood beside his boyfriend, looked at Xu Fan, and thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, the ultimate goal of everything we've done is to make the answer clearer. Whether it's me or An An Yue, our worlds are completely different from yours. We have our own goals, our own futures, our own unique interests, and a different kind of future world. So, when you ask these questions, it proves that there's a profound and incomprehensible relationship between us. But since you want to know, that's fine. I'll tell you for my own reasons. Auntie, it's inevitable that, both now and in the future, since I've come here, he will definitely leave. So you don't need to be sad or heartbroken. Like you just said, you should support him. If you really want to know where that so-called world is, I'm willing to tell you. But please be prepared, because perhaps when I tell you the answer, you'll find that this world is completely different from what you imagined. No one can truly live in this world, and no one can seriously consider this matter and still choose to leave this world to find another. No one can do that, and no one will ever do it. So you must think carefully about the key to this question, as well as the future."

The middle-aged man's words were simple, or rather, sincere. His words left Xu Fan feeling subconsciously at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know how to find the so-called answer, or how to express or describe it to get the solution. So, his gaze was calm yet tinged with something special. He looked at Xu Fan, unsure how to express his truest emotions. He looked at An Ran, unsure how to express his desire to leave with her. So, during this lesson, Xu Fan had no other thoughts in his mind. He simply looked at the middle-aged man who had also taken a liking to An An, and suddenly nodded, looking at them and saying, "I know I need to understand very clearly that I may not be able to truly contact that world. I also know that there may be countless distances between me and that world, and I know that this distance is really hard to describe. But when the world tells me this answer, I understand that I must find it immediately, not to find these people, but to find the so-called answer. So I want to know which organization you belong to, I want to know even more what kind of power you have behind you, and I want to know even more what the world you talk about is. I want to know the difference between this world and that world. Maybe you can't tell me these answers, but I believe that one day I will definitely find the answer, find what you have been hiding in your hearts, because these are all very important to me."

For Xu Fan, this matter was extremely important not only because he enjoyed the simple exchanges with Ammonia Nitrogen, nor because the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man allowed him to understand the intricate connections to another world. It wasn't just because a special system had appeared in his mind, originating from another world. Although he didn't know if the world An An mentioned was the same as the one that gave rise to the system, or if the tides of change had shifted, given the special significance of this event, such a situation was highly likely. On the other hand, he clearly understood that his mother had almost left this world, nearly dying. But he also clearly understood that his father had left too many traces and memories in this world before disappearing. No one knew why his father had existed in this world, why he left, or where he went afterward. These questions naturally led to various speculations until one day he finally understood.

He recognized An Lanyue's father, An Kun. When he learned that An Kun was leaving this world and going nowhere, he understood that perhaps his own father was also living in another world. He remembered the badges and so-called documents in the boxes his father left for his mother. He suddenly realized that perhaps the world he was facing at this moment, and all these problems, were the same as some of the problems that Xu Fan's father had faced. They were fundamentally different. He couldn't find the answers today, but once he found the answers, he would be able to make a decision. So at this moment, he was nervous and in pain, and he didn't know how to solve it. Fortunately, just then, the middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a black hat and black clothes, lowered his baseball cap and looked down, leaving only his eyes on Xu Fan. After a long time, he seemed to suddenly understand something and spoke again: "I came here today to find An Lanyue because he needs to determine a time or because he needs to truly leave this world and create a different history with himself. But today I clearly understand that there is something that cannot be resolved. I know that you have all sorts of doubts and questions in your heart right now, but my purpose in coming here today is not to find you, because I know that you are just an ordinary net, and in my eyes you are just a prince who doesn't know anything. So, in this situation, how can I describe or communicate with you properly? This is very difficult. That's why I came here to chat with An Lanyue. But if you want to know, then I will tell you. I am the only cultivator in this world. I believe you are too because An Lanyue is too. Since the two of you are standing here and have reached an agreement, it means that this world is the same as your world."

Xu Fan nodded as he listened to the middle-aged man's words. Although he didn't know exactly what it meant, he at least knew one thing: the key points were crucial, and every word needed to be carefully remembered. In the future, no matter what problems arose, he would need to seriously reflect and consider them. Therefore, his hesitation at this moment represented a mix of thoughts. He was looking towards the distant Sansheng, wanting to say something special, when suddenly he felt he should do something else. So, his gaze turned to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man seemed to understand Xu Fan's thoughts and continued, "The world we live in is actually a very large factory, a special experimental field with special forms and special people. Most of the people we see may be actors, or perhaps just people like us in Qiongye or Longzhaoyan. What you encounter and see is actually the same, because in a sense, besides what you see..." Beyond that, everything else is not real. Simply put, there are thirteen of us standing here right now, and everyone else is virtual, not real. When we go to another place, the people who appear there are real. But those people in another city or another place will also not be real. Perhaps you find what I'm saying hard to understand, but that's the truth. Our world is a huge laboratory, a laboratory we can't comprehend. The real world is that time we've always longed for and sought after—the time of the month. The people in that world, the animals in that world, are just animals. They have their own nature, their own stories, their own lives. So no matter how wonderful their world becomes, it belongs only to them. We are different. We have our own world, but we are essentially just experimental subjects, nothing more.

When the middle-aged man spoke, seemingly a simple falling petal, the scene suddenly fell silent, and a gust of wind blew by, making Xu Fan shiver.

===Chapter 1061 Utter Defeat===

Facing the middle-aged man, Xu Fan showed a rare nervousness. Everything he had experienced before proved that he could handle any problem with ease and could solve any problem simply. Therefore, he had never truly encountered anything like this before. But today...

When he saw the middle-aged man, he showed for the first time what it meant to be tense. He also knew what it meant to face immense pressure that made him unable to feel anything. I told them one day that they couldn't do any better, but he clearly understood that the man in front of him might make him more different, but at the same time, he might also make him more desperate.

Xu Fan had never truly faced those so-called cultivators in a meaningful way. In some ways, everything he did was to improve himself, to let more people hear more beautiful music, to let more people see more good movies, and to let more readers read more good books. So, most of what Xu Fan did was to let more people feel that his music suits different people differently. So, even though he liked the idea of ​​"insects coming" before, he hadn't truly experienced the concept of "whether it works or not." Even though the person he had met most was the one he trusted most, An Lanyue, he had only ever been a true cultivator. Although An Lanyue hadn't truly become a cultivator, at this moment, when he saw the man in black and learned his identity...

He suddenly realized that there were many people in this world completely different from him. This difference was inexplicable and special. Therefore, when he saw the middle-aged man, the tension deep inside him was incredibly suppressed. The middle-aged man seemed completely unmoved, as if he were looking at an ordinary person or a piece of scrap paper. So when Xu Fan met the middle-aged man's gaze, his heart was also filled with tension. In a sense, he was truly angry, yet he also felt that he might be able to find another way to become braver. So he rescued the man in black. The middle-aged man said, "Actually, we already know the so-called answer. It's just that after thirty years, I have no way to solve these problems. I don't know how to reasonably reconcile, or truly cherish the right and wrong of this matter. But I must tell you that at this moment, although I am just an ordinary person, although..." I can say that I am indeed capable of cultivation, but I am still inextricably linked to this world. In this situation, I have no other way to truly confront you. Therefore, I can only earnestly understand this world before making any decisions. Now, you won't tell me the answers I want. You've simply told me that this world is different from another world, and of course I know that. What I want to know is exactly how that world differs from this one, what methods we should use to find all the answers to these differences, and when I will find the final result—in other words, under what circumstances can I find that path, that path to another world, and then see what makes that world so unique. These are the things I want to know, these are the answers I seek. Therefore, I hope you can tell me these answers; this is what I want. Do you understand?

Xu Fan's sentence was truly long. Each word he uttered carried a specific meaning, hence the heavy tone in his voice. Ji Shi, upon reaching the shore, was stunned. He realized that the Xu Fan he knew before was completely different. Previously, Xu Fan had always been calm and gentle, able to speak normally regardless of the situation. But today, Xu Fan seemed like a different person. His speech and every other aspect revealed his uniqueness. Every word, every change in tone, testified to his anger and bewilderment. Yet, one could also sense that Xu Fan's expressed thoughts were his truest feelings. This was a deliberate display of his true nature; he wasn't a special person, or truly unreasonable. He knew that the person before him might be the one who truly understood all the problems in the world, and he had to look at this person and find the answers. In this situation, he had no other way to express or resolve these issues, so this was the only solution. The question was posed to the middle-aged man in front of him, who, of course, didn't know what to do, or rather, he had never imagined he would encounter such a problem.

Although Xu Fan's expression was calm, every word he said and every action he took proved that he was indeed very capable.

Or, in a sense, what Xu Fan is doing at this moment is actually a disguised way of asking the man for a definite answer. Deep down, she's also nervous because she's never met someone as eager to know answers as Xu Fan. He's already given Shi Fan all the answers she wants to know. Of course, some answers are actually given to her by An Ran. After all, it's the person who has had the most contact with Xu Fan and the most serious rest. In this situation, it's meaningless for Xu Fan to say too much, or for him, as the real mastermind, to say too much, because there's no connection or entanglement between him and Xu Fan. Therefore, he didn't come here today to find Xu Fan, but to find An Lan Yue. He wants to know An Lan Yue's current thoughts, and he also wants to know what she should do about this strange crush, because in his goal...

Xu Fan clearly understood that there was no relationship between him and Anna. In a sense, all of An Lanyue's orders were just one side of the story. From another perspective, the target he wanted to find this time was ultimately the real cultivator they knew. There were still certain differences between them, their physiques were different, and they were completely different people. Even though Xu Fan might have changed at this moment, which is why others wanted to take away everyone around him, he didn't have such thoughts. In his view, as long as this matter could be resolved, all problems would no longer be problems. What he needed to do now was to use the simplest method to get Anna to follow him. That was all. So, he explained to Xu Fan that it was purely to achieve a certain control with An Lanyue, so that Anna would follow him. But he didn't expect the infinite depth of time. His truest thought was never to leave, or in a sense, he really wanted to see.

She wanted to see how different that world was, and to see how it differed from this world. She really wanted to, but deep down she understood that when her father assigned her that responsibility or obligation, she knew that for a long time to come—perhaps a year, ten years, or a hundred years—as long as she lived, she had to protect Xu Fan. Even if Xu Fan's abilities surpassed hers and he no longer needed her protection, she clearly understood that her study partner was completely different. While her study partner's personal strength was indeed formidable, his judgment and understanding of society weren't as strong. Therefore, she clearly understood that he and her love were completely different. That's why An Ye was so serious, and why she chose to continue protecting Xu Fan despite the circumstances.

The middle-aged man in black was actually quite nervous. He never imagined he would encounter Xu Fan, and more importantly, he never expected that inviting An Lanyue would lead to so many things. He wanted An Lanyue's spirit, but she didn't want to leave with him. So, he shifted his focus from Xu Fan to An Lanyue, because he clearly understood that his goal today was to commit these crimes. However, his gaze fell on the chicken meat, and he said to An Lanyue what he most wanted to say: "Actually, I know that deep down you want to leave this world, and I also know that deep down you really want to see another world. I've been to that world, I've been to many, many places in that world. Some places are special, and some cities may be similar to that place, or rather, that world and this world are actually very similar, whether in terms of geographical location or the size of the cities, they may look the same, but the difference is that that world looks more real, everything in that world..." Everything seems real, but it's completely different from our world. Perhaps your perception is different because many things in this world are virtual, things we can't physically touch. We're standing here right now, so perhaps all the problems in that other world are the same, but everything in this world, except for us, might not exist. I know you've seriously considered and imagined this, but when the problem isn't in front of you, you might rethink it because you feel it's completely different from what we imagined. So, in this situation, how can we find the answer? An Lanyue, I really want to invite you to join our organization and also invite you to go to that other world to see its uniqueness and its dazzling beauty. I believe you'll love that world, but I want to tell you that the beauty of that world is even more real.

An Lanyue shook her head. For her, the purpose of coming here today was actually very simple. No matter the method or the story, no matter what happened, all her questions were for the purpose of solving the most important result. What she needed to do or face at this moment was only one thing: to protect the area. Even if the middle-aged man wanted to do something, she had to rush to the front line to protect the area and ensure its safety. At the same time, she needed to ensure that Xu Fan could have no problems in his interactions with the world. She needed to understand that all the problems in the world could be solved. That's why An Lanyue was still standing here, throwing this question to Xu Fan and the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man clearly understood that the answer from the source had been decided, and he really wanted to know the answer. However, he obviously didn't want to let her go like this, or rather, he obviously didn't want to tell her. So when he clearly knew An Lanyue's answer and that An Lanyue would not make any more decisions, he understood that this was an opportunity he had come here for.

So they prepared to leave. Since they were leaving him, they naturally didn't hesitate. He looked at An, shook his head, and finally said, "Actually, we've gotten used to living in this world, and perhaps we'll find that this world isn't much different from another. But once you experience the reality of another world, you'll find that the difference between this world and the Lingge time is truly enormous. Although it's a pity I couldn't invite you to go to that world with me today, if I have the chance, you must consider it. I'll leave my contact information here, hoping to receive your call someday. Goodbye then."

After the middle-aged man in black finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation. It seemed that he came and went in a hurry. Once he arrived, he wanted to get the most important answer. Since he knew that the answer was impossible to get, he didn't hesitate at all. In this world, he had no time to think about other questions. Only by finding the answer could he truly derail himself from everything in this world. That's why he turned around and left without hesitation at this moment.

Xu Fan watched the man in black disappear. Deep down, he felt a growing tension about reality. In a sense, he had been completely defeated by that simple conversation.

===Chapter 1062 Touching Words===

Failure is failure. This is failure, not a failure of force or intelligence, but a failure of his understanding of this world and the reality of the other world described by the other party. The collision of the two worlds is on completely different levels. Just as the middle-aged man said, this world seems to be a lie in a sense, and all his past is false, while the other world is indeed real. He can't understand the difference between that reality and this reality. But he clearly understands that when that world meets this world, everything in this world may disappear, and he, as a part of this world, may also be destroyed. Perhaps only then will he understand why An Lanyue wanted to go to another time so much. Perhaps this is why An Lanyue thought it over and over, but in the end still chose to protect Xu Fanshi, and why the middle-aged man showed disappointment in his eyes.

Because that world is truly different, because that world is truly unique, this lesson clearly shows what An Lanyue gave up for him. He also understands more clearly the final result of everything An Lanyue did at this moment. What was the reason? At this moment, Xu Fan didn't know what to do or what to think. He didn't know what kind of result would make such a heavy man tell him the answer again. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the middle-aged man had already disappeared. He had really left without any hesitation, without taking away any cloud, without making any thought, and without even leaving a simple word. He only left those so-called words of disappointment and the final invitation to An Lanyue. This lesson is actually about whether he should let An Lanyue leave him. He didn't need An Lanyue's protection when he was riding. But when he saw An Lanyue, he suddenly realized that he had overthought things. Because An Lanyue never thought of leaving him. This kind of leaving is not the leaving of love, but the true leaving of protection, because An Lanyue was protected by him.

Xu Fan had to protect his father An Kun's secret. He never expected An Kun to be so serious. Only now did he realize how much he had given up. In this situation, he didn't know how to think about the final result and answer. So he seriously considered how to think about this problem. After the middle-aged man in black left, when everyone in front of him was seriously thinking, when An Lan Yue's gaze influenced him, when the two of them looked at each other, Xu Fan had a lot to say to An Lan Yue, but he didn't say a word. He shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Xu Fan the difference between this world and the other world, but that he clearly understood that he didn't know anything either. It was precisely because he didn't know anything that he wanted to understand, wanted to go to the other world to see its prosperity, to see where the advantages and differences of the world lay.

It's hard to find an answer, really hard to find a so-called answer. There's no way, no goal, no final result, no direction. Everything seems to be the final outcome. At this moment, Xu Fan is extremely tense. He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know how to do this moment. When he looks at An Le and sees him, he really doesn't know what to do. He's completely lost, as if he's fallen into some kind of special kind of trap and can't get out. He feels despair, and he feels that this world is incompatible with him. So his eyes are filled with helplessness. He walks over to look at her again. She knows that she has gone through too much in this moment. Although the conversation just now seemed simple, all the conversations between the two of them proved that Xu Fan has come to understand the difference between this other world.

You went from having no understanding of the principles of painting to experiencing the beauty and perfection of another world. So Alan could understand Xu Fan's state at this moment. She understood him very well because when he first heard about another world from his father during the Spring Festival, he was shocked. He had never imagined the beauty of another world, nor had he ever imagined everything about that world. That's why he had this scene today. He wanted to go to that world to see it, but because of his father's words, he knew that he couldn't, at least not for the time being. Maybe one day Xu Fan would go with him to see it, but that time wouldn't be now. So all he could do was hope that Xu Fan could cheer up and make contact with another world, maybe someday in the future, but at least for now, there was no such opportunity, and the time hadn't come yet.

Xu Fan's desperate eyes flashed across the depths of the South China Sea. All his thoughts seemed to be exposed without hesitation at this moment. He didn't know what to do until all his thoughts merged in the depths of his mind. When all his thoughts flowed continuously in his mind at this moment and then came together, he suddenly understood what he should do. He looked into the distance, where the man in black had left. He looked to the side where An Lanyue was standing. At this moment, the moon was dark, and the average person looked at Xu Fan with such quietness. Xu Fan looked at An Lanyue and thought for a while. Then he suddenly said seriously, "I haven't been to that world either, but I also know that that world must be related to this world." Unlike others, I want to know everything about that world, just as I know you want to know about it too. The wonders of that world are beyond our reach, our search, and our contact with us. I know this might seem selfish. I truly want to tell you that if you want to leave, you can leave boldly without considering my feelings or your father's orders. But I understand very well that everything you've done is to accept all of this. So, what I want to tell you at this moment is that no matter what happens, if you want to go to another world in the future, let me accompany you. Because I believe that one day I will definitely go to that world, and you will definitely be by my side.

Xu Fan's words were simple and straightforward, yet they were filled with deep affection and earnestness.

The mold of affection was expressionless, yet the words he spoke were so moving. So, at this moment, when An Ran was about to hear Xu Fan say these words, he felt a mix of nervousness and unease deep within him. He was nervous and uneasy; he didn't know why his face suddenly turned red. What affection said was so simple, so plain—it was about the method to reach another world in their future world, about how if Xu Fan could find something different in that world, he would definitely bring her along, meaning he would be by affection's side in that world. This was a longing for that other world, a kind of affirmation and structural recognition of him. But at this moment, he didn't know why he felt something was amiss with Xu Fan's words. Although at this moment he was just an ordinary person, although he clearly understood that they had no relationship before—he was just Xu Fan's bodyguard, or rather, his mission was simply to protect affection's sperm—at this moment, when he heard affection's moving words, he truly didn't know what to do.

For a moment, he nervously gripped his clothes, unsure what to say. Fortunately, Xu Fan spoke again. His words were simple, unpretentious, and calm, yet they brought him immense comfort. He suddenly understood the meaning behind Xu Fan's words, and his gaze hardened. Xu Fan continued, "That world may be wonderful, that world may be very different, that world may be full of danger, that world may also be full of all sorts of amazing things. I can't guarantee what the connection is between that world and this world, but what I can do is take you wherever we go. I will definitely take you to see that world, I will definitely take you to explore it. This is my promise, and it's something I will definitely do. Whatever you choose, wherever you go, it's your own choice, and I will absolutely not stop you. Because for me, I will definitely go to that world, and therefore I will definitely take you with me."

Xu Fan's words were certainly not out of deep affection, nor were they anything of any particular kind. The ultimate purpose, direction, and outcome of his words were actually quite simple: to search on the path to another world. Because from then on, he knew of the existence of that world, and he wanted to integrate into that world and himself. He wanted to understand the differences and connections between that world and himself. Since he had already made his decision, and since he had already determined how to achieve it, he would never give up on this outcome. One day, he would definitely reach the end, find the so-called solution, find the gate to another world, and go to see what was different about that world.

Xi Fang clearly understood that the most important reason for this wasn't based on hearsay or his own experience—because he didn't understand the difference between cultivation and ordinary life in reality. More importantly, he clearly understood the system deep within his mind, an external system originating from another time. Therefore, all the songs, movie scripts, and everything else within it were treasures from another world. Things that were wildly popular in that world would naturally become popular in this one, because the two worlds were extremely similar. Naturally, this led to different emotions. He hadn't intended to simply copy it, but everything was different after all the effort. Even if a song wasn't wildly popular in the other world, when he sang it in this world, it still caused a sensation and attracted countless people's attention. The difference was that in that world, while the songs were indeed excellent, the singer was just an ordinary singer. But in this world, Xu Fan, because of "Xiao Chou" (a song title), and because of those songs he had sung at the beginning, became incredibly popular and became a star.

A true king of pop, or rather, a singer, may not have the absolute highest level of individual ability in terms of singing, stage presence, or even songwriting. However, the works he produces, his voice, and his elusive or mysterious style—whether it's guitar, piano, pipa, or even xiao or dizi—Xu Fan can handle them all with ease. He even plays a special instrument called the harmonica, and his mastery of it is exceptional. Xu Fan once played "My Deskmate" on the harmonica, which became incredibly popular online. This wasn't just because Xu Fan truly blazed a new trail in music; he carved out a unique path in this world, creating songs from another dimension that became viral across the internet, turning everyone in this world into his fans. Everything in this world, seemingly unreal yet undeniably real, became a testament to his love for him.

Perhaps this is the most crucial point, because in a sense, Xu Fan's so-called system is actually just taking songs, movies, and so on from another world and singing them. But the excellence lies in this: in another world, every singer's voice has its own characteristics, and everyone's musical voice has its own ideas and unique vocal cords. But it's different in this world. First of all, it must be distinguished as an independent individual. There is no one else doing it, and all the songs are sung by herself. In fact, some excellent works were shared with others. For example, Xue Laiyi, Lin Xiaolu, and others have all sung half of the songs, including Xiao Zihan's "A Diao". All these songs prove this individual's creative ability. At least in the eyes of everyone in this world, they believe that this is the creative ability they like. It is because of this situation that she can thrive so smoothly and successfully in this world.

Xu Fan and An Lanyue gazed at each other, knowing that they had, in a sense, opened their hearts to one another. This wasn't a romantic connection, but rather a protective vow and a declaration of life. An Lanyue was Xu Fan's bodyguard, but in a sense, she wasn't just his bodyguard, but his true friend. Her protection wasn't solely due to Xu Fan's influence, but rather to An Lanyue's own charisma. It was a responsibility, an obligation. Thus, while they deeply appreciated each other, a special bond arose between them, because they were both cultivators from a very unique group in this world.

It is precisely for this reason that the two of them have special feelings for each other. Xu Fan, in this lesson, did not know how to express the emotions deep in his heart. He just looked at An Lanyue.

At this moment, An Lanyue was also helping him.

===Chapter 1063 The So-Called Result===

The departure of the middle-aged man in black made it clear that this matter was not over. Standing beside him was An Lanyue, who remained calm and composed. He understood that An Lanyue's decision to decline the middle-aged man's invitation meant giving up her greatest dream. He also understood that what An Lanyue truly wanted and longed for most was to visit that world, to see the academy there, and to see her friends. However, because of her own actions, she had given up that wonderful place and the opportunity to connect with it. That's why she stayed behind. Xu Fan, too, felt a sense of gratitude and emotion. He understood that this decision was a way of showing appreciation for her. Therefore, his gaze towards An Lanyue was full of gratitude.

We need to believe that everyone has their own value. This is the idea behind Xu Fan's actions. He always does things exceptionally well, using his most genuine thoughts and methods. He believes that only by giving his all can he achieve good results. No matter what happens in the world, no matter how the story changes, he believes that as long as he can do better, there will be better outcomes. So when Xu Fan looked at An Lanyue, his heart was filled with emotion and a strange sense of wonder. He felt that in the future, as long as he kept working hard, he would one day achieve his dream and have the opportunity to bring those around him to his side.

Everyone around them took them to another world. I don't know how to understand or describe it. Anyway, the occurrence of the story is never temporary or a bad thing. It's just a sudden moment. So when he looked down at February, he felt a little uneasy, a little lost, and didn't know how to face it. But at this moment, February looked at Xu Fan. Behind her calm and gentle eyes was a special emotion. She spoke with Xu Fan.

"Actually, in this world, both you and I have our own thoughts. I protect you because I obey my father's orders, but in a sense, you are also my only family in this world right now. I don't have many close friends around me. My father is my only friend, or rather, my relative, or rather, the biggest pillar in my life. When my father left, I clearly understood that I was alone in this world and I had to go to another world. The biggest reason I wanted to go to another world wasn't actually to see it, although maybe that was part of it. More importantly, I wanted to see my father, to know where he went, and whether he was doing well or badly in that world. So I really regret giving up such an opportunity, but I don't think it's something I should regret." "Because the moment my father entrusted you to me, I clearly understood that everything in this world, no matter what you do, will eventually have a certain outcome. So today, standing here, able to fight alongside you, able to imagine all the future moments together, I clearly understand that everything I've done has been worthwhile. No matter what stories unfold in the future, no matter what opportunities arise, everything will eventually be different, and everything will become more courageous in my life. So what I want to say is that dreams will never appear at thirty, nor will they appear in the future, but as long as I am here, we will face this together, we will go together to another world to see its beauty, and to see how different my father is in that world."

An Lanyue's every word was so calm, but it was precisely because of these words that Xu Fan became even more certain of his deepest suspicions. This world might truly be virtual, like an experiment, like a game, where it's impossible to interact with everyone in reality. Everyone is an NPC, and only a certain segment of real humans might be truly human, such as Anla and his father Ankun. Therefore, our story cannot truly describe all the good things in life. Only by seriously reflecting on life, only by seriously understanding everything in this world, can we discover how to truly find the answers to everything we have encountered or experienced in the past.

Xu Fan's mood was neither good nor bad. In that instant, he didn't know how to describe it. At that moment, he didn't know how to leave or how to seriously think about a particular story. He wanted a lot, so for a moment, he didn't know how to describe it or how to truly do certain things well.

An Lanyue's sudden understanding made Xu Fan realize that there were still many things he needed to do in this world. But at this moment, when the person in the middle left, he clearly understood himself. Perhaps what he needed to do next was no longer the so-called formation, but to do each thing practically and down-to-earth. For example, to sing, to make movies, or to do other things. Each thing might be unexpected, each thing might become different, but you need to clearly understand that you must do it this way, because only by doing it this way can you have different results. Only when different results occur can you truly face a different world. Unable to describe it, and therefore unable to think about it seriously, all my stories are no longer so real, and all my questions will no longer be questions. Xu Fan looked at him, at everyone who was conflicted yet full of various thoughts. They didn't know how to describe it, and they didn't know how to think about it. At this moment, was An Lanyue saying anything?

He simply shook his head, glanced at Xu Fan, and suddenly felt a surge of other emotions. Then he walked away, leaving like that middle-aged man. Xu Fan had no problem with him, and he didn't try to stop him. He didn't know what to do. He watched him leave with a secret joy, but he didn't care. He believed that An Lanyue's departure was just a departure from him, that she must be somewhere in another world, unable to contact him. But when he wanted to see her, just like before, she would reappear. This thought made Xu Fan very clear. Perhaps when he did certain things, there was no need, or rather, no need to dwell on all the questions. All the questions would eventually have a final answer, and this result would surely make everyone seriously consider all the good and bad habits in this world, unable to think about those who said...

He could only clearly understand those so-called problems and ultimately seek the so-called answers. He watched as the man left, mesmerized, but ultimately said nothing. It seems that everything in this world is like this: whether the answer is good or bad, the ending is good or bad. Since it has already been laid out before us, the story is already before us. There is no need or way to solve the problem, so we cannot truly remain silent or truly think.

The story seems to have suddenly hit a bottleneck. Everything seems inexplicable, yet the story also seems to have suddenly paused. Everyone knows what happened in this world, but upon closer reflection, they find that nothing has changed. The good songs are still good, the good movies are still good, those who left never came back, and those things that have truly ended can never be restored. All the questions remain unanswered.

Or perhaps everything is being resolved in silence. The story's trajectory has already been determined, and no one knows how to explain it. All the questions suddenly fall silent at this moment, unable to be described or pondered. All that remains is to think seriously and live earnestly.

Not knowing how to think, or how to consider all the problems, it all seemed to return to a past time. The answer was like that moment when Xu Fan suddenly felt that everything in the past was a dream, a dream as vast as a dream, something truly impossible to contemplate. That dream was so long that it was impossible to describe it in words. He clearly understood everything that happened in that story, and the final outcome was perhaps completely different from what he imagined now. He also clearly understood that everything that had happened and hadn't happened in that world was completely different from this world. But even though he clearly understood and knew that these things had happened, there was no other way to solve the problem, to stop it from happening. So when Xu Fan suddenly realized at this moment that he had no way to change the history that had already happened, that it was unchangeable and indescribable, that the past was indeed gone, not just himself.

When you need to think, those questions will appear in your mind. The real questions have always been there, but you just haven't found a suitable solution. So, for Xu Fan, it was like opening a window to the sky. He suddenly understood what had happened and what was certain. At this moment, he knew that if he couldn't find Li Xiaoran, he wouldn't find anyone else either—not Han Zilu, nor his beloved girl, Pu Sihan. He knew it all too well; there was no way to find them for the foreseeable future. The only thing that puzzled the academy was that Xia Ziling had truly died and disappeared into the past, but Li Xiaoran, Pu Sihan, and Han Zilu seemed not to have disappeared. This also included Chen Yuanyuan, who had truly disappeared rather than died. It was crucial to understand the time since Xia Ziling's death.

He had witnessed Xia Ziling's body and everything else firsthand, so he didn't dwell on it too much. He simply focused on the immediate situation, unsure how to proceed or resolve the issues. He understood that the disappearances of Han Zilu, Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiaoran, and Pu Sihan were sudden and unpredictable, impossible to foresee or resolve. After a moment of serious thought, Xu Fan realized he had no way to make things more courageous, meaningful, or come up with any other ideas.

What should he do next? These were Xu Fan's most genuine thoughts. This lesson made him suddenly realize that everything wasn't as simple as he had imagined. When the story turned into an accident, he truly didn't know how to resolve it. There seemed to be no way to solve the problems he was facing. Simply put, Chen Yuanyuan and the others had disappeared, and he couldn't find them. His search for Li Xiaoran confirmed that he couldn't find anyone. So, what should he do if he couldn't find them? In this process, would Xia Ziling also find out, or would she help Xu Fan understand the difference between this world and another? Xu Fan even wondered countless times if his existence and their disappearance were actually connected. This, of course, refers to Xia Ziling's existence and the disappearance of others. If that world truly existed, if cultivation was like his and An Ran's...

There are many, many people like An Lanyue. Could this prove the occurrence of this event in some sense? Perhaps he could think about it from a different perspective. For example, perhaps he has other ideas in another world, or perhaps An Lanyue's world is another world with a vast sky and a huge sun, where there are stories and people that he cannot access. But Xu Fan was also thinking, or rather, pondering whether there were other issues behind this event.

Xu Fan knew very well that the truth could never be presented to him so simply, and that he could see the so-called answer at a glance, because there must be something extraordinary behind this matter.

There is no other way and there will be no other way, because the story never truly begins because of the appearance of a certain person or event. Most things change on a certain path, and even if there is a detour, it will eventually return to the destination. That is the so-called result.

===Chapter 1064 A Touching Story===

An Lanyue disappeared, but Xu Fan knew that she was right behind him and would never truly disappear.

He began to fill in the blanks, unsure how to describe it. The sky was a deep red, like a blanket of snow, constantly illuminating him. He didn't know how to describe it, or rather, how to express it. He didn't know what had happened, nor how this scene should end. Xu Fan pondered many methods and approaches. He even wondered if one day he could use someone else's methods to summon him in exchange for an answer, and then go with him to another world, to see its good and bad, to see the differences between ten other worlds.

He suddenly took a deep breath and looked into the distance. He knew it was all over. There was no way to truly express himself or solve the problem. So, he had to change direction. He could no longer stay in Rongcheng. He knew very well that he couldn't find any clues in the city. He couldn't find out where Li Xiaoran had gone. He could only hand the question over to the police, just like Li Xiaoran's colleagues had, and let them investigate. He hesitated, knowing there was no way to solve the problem now. So, he could only seriously think about what to do next. Should he go find Chen Yuanyuan? Should he go find Chen Yangyang? Since he was in Yanjing, should he go see him too? But if he went to Yanjin, would he be able to truly find Old Zhao?

Or rather, he found some clues about finding Chen Yuanyuan. Xu Fan sometimes thought that Chen Yong's disappearance might be related to his investigation, just like Xia Ziling's investigation. Although Xu Fan didn't know the specific intentions and processes at the time, through communication with the members, he understood, or rather, he clearly knew one thing: Xia Ziling went to Gran Country because of him, to that city to see what was real and what was fake, to see the connection between this world and that world, to see all the questions, and finally determined that she hadn't found the answer. After that, Chen Yuanyuan naturally became the target of that group's recognition. Actually, it wasn't to help Xu Fan find so-called things or information, but more because he believed that Xia Ziling was still alive. He wanted to find out about the blind man's opinion.

He wanted to see with his own eyes where Xia Ziling was, whether she was really still alive, and whether she was still living the life she wanted. He didn't know how to express it, so he went to different cities to look for Momo's brother. Now, with Cheng Yuan's sudden departure, Xu Fan was also wondering what had happened. No matter what happened, there could be a different story. So, Xu Fan was also thinking about how to describe this in a way that could truly answer the doctor's question.

At this moment, Xu Fan was filled with many thoughts. He wanted to go to another world, to see different places, to meet different people, to find different solutions, and to create different stories. No one knew how to describe it, no one knew how to solve this problem. It was a very difficult problem to solve. At least in this lesson, Xu Fan knew that the answer could not appear, could not truly appear, and therefore could not truly describe those things. So, Xu Fan decided to leave the city. But before leaving, Xu Fan still wanted to have a hot pot meal. This was one of his favorite things to do in his life. Whether it was raining or snowing, whether he was going there or there, drinking a small cup of rice wine and eating a hot pot in Chengdu would definitely be a very happy thing. Xu Fan hoped that this process could last forever.

He also hoped that such a scene could last forever, so he truly began to think. The problem he hadn't addressed was that he hadn't gone to the hot pot restaurant he was supposed to, but instead went to a nearby ordinary hot pot restaurant. This restaurant wasn't crowded, but it was quiet, and even in the quiet, the aroma of the hot pot was wonderful. He ordered a mild spicy version without considering anything spicier; for him, mild spicy was enough to accept his future. From then on, he didn't think about anything else, because for him, no matter what happened, as long as we seriously considered all the problems, there would eventually be an answer that could help us solve them. So, a man who enjoyed eating hot pot, contemplating the comings and goings of life and other special things, didn't know how to solve them, so he stopped thinking about how to solve them. Because problems that are solved aren't really problems; only the problems that remain are truly problems.

Only questions without answers are truly questions of consciousness. Xu Fan was struggling with this. Before leaving the city, he went to the museum again and looked at some books about the history of Chengdu. The good and bad stories on the first, second, and third floors each had their own historical background. Whether it was the rise and fall of emperors and dynasties or the ups and downs of literature, each era seemed to have a certain level of literary skill and ability. At least in Xu Fan's opinion, this was a problem that he needed to think about seriously and find a solution. They didn't want to think too much or not think too much. Stories often happen in such unintentional ways. He didn't want to think about these problems. He just wanted to seriously think about or solve this problem in the time to come, which is why things turned out like this now.

In Chengdu, as the locals say, life is peaceful and carefree, without any worries or fast pace. There's only the quiet, almost boring anxiety of each day. During breaks, people can play mahjong or cards, or go to the park to drink tea, jog, or take a walk. Everyone has their own things to do, their own stories, and no one is ever isolated because of one particular issue. He clearly understands this, and in fact, many people understand this too. Without a clear understanding, this matter often cannot be resolved. That's why he's so serious about this issue, hoping to find the answer he seeks someday.
