Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

Just as Danheng was about to take his first step, beginning this solitary journey that belonged to the night...

"Oh, can't sleep?" A voice suddenly rang out, causing Dan Heng to freeze in his tracks.

He looked up in surprise.

Under the artificial night sky, a figure sat leisurely on the edge of the roof, looking down at him with a smile.

Seeing Dan Heng's stunned expression, Yu Jin casually waved his hand: "Coincidentally, I wasn't sleepy either, so I came up to say a few words?"

Dan Heng remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Soon, another figure appeared on the roof.

The two sat side by side on the roof, the air seemingly frozen.

Yu Jin did not rush to break the silence, while Dan Heng turned his gaze to the distant lights and remained silent.

Time slipped away silently.

Finally, Yu Jin sighed softly, turned his head to look at Dan Heng, and said with a helpless smile, "If you don't speak, how can I guess what you want to ask? Do you expect me to guess your thoughts and then say them for you? That would be too strange."

The words of the embers were like pebbles thrown into a deep pool.

Dan Heng finally turned his gaze from the distance and landed on Yu Jin's face.

Looking at his gentle smile, Dan Heng said softly, "I'm sorry... I... don't know how to start."

"Just speak normally, treat me like a friend, or..."

Yu Jin smiled and winked at him: "You can also consider me a distant relative of yours. After all, in a sense, I am also of the immortal lineage, and you are also descendants of the immortals. So we are practically family."

Dan Heng was somewhat surprised that the other party would be so unconventional. Family and such... he had never had any.

Looking at the person in front of him trying to break the silence with ease, Dan Heng took a breath of the cool night breeze, as if drawing courage to speak: "Actually... I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Say it, I'm listening."

"However, the next question might be a bit strange, but... as someone from the Immortal lineage, you are perhaps the only person I can ask."

The word "unique" seems a bit too heavy, especially since I've only just embarked on the path to immortality.

Yu Jin scratched his cheek with his finger and said, "Let's make this clear first, I may not be able to answer your question, but of course, if I can, I will try my best to answer it for you."

Danheng nodded: "Thank you."

"So, what is your question?" Yu Jin was also curious about what Dan Heng wanted to ask him.

Danheng remained silent for a moment, as if carefully choosing his words, before finally asking slowly, "What is your view on the...reincarnation of the Vidyadhara clan?"

Haha, the first question is a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum.

Yu Jin shifted his gaze from Dan Heng's face to the starry sky under the artificial night sky.

"The reincarnation of the Vidyadhara clan, rather than my opinion, the key question lies in your own perspective, isn't it?"

Danheng: "They all say that the reincarnation of a Vidyadhara is a completely new beginning. No matter what sins were committed in the previous life, they have nothing to do with this life."

Yu Jin nodded: "So, what's your opinion?"

"I...I...don't know." At this moment, Dan Heng's tone was somewhat confused as he looked at his hands.

"I... am not him."

He seemed to be answering himself, or perhaps telling Ember, or maybe telling someone else, that he was not himself.

This is the answer he has given to others countless times, and the answer he has reminded himself of countless times.

"But if I'm not him, then what is this power? If I'm not him, why do I always have those non-existent fragments of memory in my mind? If I'm not him, why do so many people mistake me for him? If I'm not him, why do I have to suffer all this? Those things have nothing to do with me, so..."

Am I really not him?

Danheng didn't know why he was saying these things.

Why would I confide these deep-seated questions to someone I've only known for a short time?

Is it because the other party is from the Immortal lineage?

Because he believed in his heart that he was the only person who could answer the mystery of his existence?

Danheng could not give a definite answer.

However, the calm exterior he had maintained for so long shattered the moment he uttered his first words.

Long-suppressed emotions burst forth like a flood, exposing hidden struggles, deep-seated discontent, and confusion about identity under the cover of night.

And the embers were the only witness.

Looking at Dan Heng, who was displaying such strong emotions, Yu Jin's lips slowly curled up: "To be honest, your question is a bit beyond my level."

“I don’t know the person you’re talking about, and I’m not even particularly familiar with you, Danheng.”

After all, this world is just a side story; it's not strange that you've changed.

Ember mentally muttered a complaint, then spoke:

"But the future is long, and we'll definitely get to know each other better. As for the 'him' you mentioned? In my understanding, it's a complete blank. So..."

Yu Jin looked directly into Dan Heng's eyes: "To me, you are not anyone's shadow or continuation, you are Dan Heng, now and always will be."

Danheng's expression subtly changed as he listened to Yu Jin's words.

Ember continued, "However, people's opinions vary greatly. I believe you are Danheng, but naturally some people will stubbornly see you as someone else. But the most crucial element is always yourself..."

The question that the embers held clearly landed in Dan Heng's mind: "Who do you think you are?"

Dan Heng looked into Yu Jin's smiling eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice, yet with a clear tone after a struggle: "...I am...I am."

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.” Yu Jin nodded vigorously, encouragingly.

"You are you. Come on, tell me louder, who are you?"

"I am...I am." Dan Heng's voice was even more resolute than before.

"That's right! That's the feeling!" Yu Jin's smile carried a sense of relief.

"You are you! Why overthink it? Although I know your situation will definitely cause you a lot of trouble, well..."

"If you really run into something you can't handle, just come to me. I'll definitely back you up and get revenge!"

In a real fight, he might be defeated by Master Danheng in a few rounds, just like that small fry.

Looking at the beaming smile on Yu Jin's face, Dan Heng's lips slowly curved into a smile: "...Thank you, Yu Jin."

"Don't mention it," Yu Jin waved his hand.

"Isn't that what making friends is all about? In fact, I'm quite happy that you're willing to come to me, which means I'm a pretty reliable person!"

Seeing the other person begin to reveal their unconventional nature again, Dan Heng couldn't help but shake his head, but the smile on his lips never faded.

His gaze fell upon the distant, dimly lit Luofu Fairy Boat.

Yes... all he needs to know is who he is. As for who he is... his friends will tell him the answer.

Danheng's gaze swept lightly over Yu Jin beside him.

The latter was gazing into the distance. The two sat there quietly, sharing a rare moment of tranquility.

After a long while, Yu Jin seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly spoke: "Actually... I'm not him either."

Dan Heng's smile faltered slightly, and he turned his head in confusion.

Ember met his questioning gaze: "Have you always thought I was the Immortal's Messenger?"

"……do not you?"

“Yes, I am not.” Yu Jin nodded very frankly.

"In some ways, we're quite similar. That power doesn't belong to me either, and I also have fragments of his memories in my mind, but I'm not him, I'm absolutely certain of that. However, the only difference between us is that I probably won't be asked if I'm his. Envious, aren't you?"

Looking at Yu Jin, who spoke these words so naturally, Dan Heng's thoughts surged, his eyes slowly changed, and finally turned into a profound understanding.

I see... I understand now.

That immortal power is real.

That resonance of blood ties is real.

Is this... the destiny of immortality?

I am not the Dragon Lord.

He is not the envoy.

We are simply ourselves.

Dan Heng looked at Yu Jin seriously and said in a serious tone, "Yu Jin, no matter who you are, I only know the you in front of me. No matter what you become in the future, you will always be my friend."

Yu Jin blinked in confusion. Had the other party misunderstood something?

But seeing Danheng's determined gaze, Yu Jin smiled again: "You are the first person to say something like that to me. Thank you, Danheng."

"It's my fault..."

"Hey! You two aren't going to put on that show of mutual respect again, are you?" A childish voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

The two turned around and saw Bai Lu standing there with her hands on her hips.

Seeing that the two had finally noticed her, Bai Lu straightened her back even more: "Why aren't you sleeping so late? You're chatting here! And you didn't even include me!"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow: "Why did I bring you along? By the way, instead of sleeping, you want to experience getting beaten up again?"

"Oh dear!" Bai Lu's face instantly changed to a flattering smile as she snuggled up to Yu Jin.

"Big brother, you're so nice~ You definitely won't hit me like that fierce older sister, right?"

“It’s hard to say.”

Hearing Yu Jin say this, Bai Lu, not wanting to be beaten, quickly moved closer and explained, "It's because you opened the door too loudly. I was woken up twice and couldn't fall back asleep. I just wanted to come out for some fresh air, but then I heard you two saying something strange like, 'I'm not him, I'm me.'"

Upon hearing Bai Lu's explanation, Dan Heng and Yu Jin exchanged a glance and awkwardly looked away.

Okay... they really have to take the blame.

Yu Jin smiled helplessly and patted the spot next to him: "Alright, since you can't sleep, come sit with us and chat."

"Okay, okay!" Bai Lu immediately replied happily, squeezing herself between the two without any hesitation.

Once she was settled, her big, bright eyes darted back and forth between Yu Jin and Dan Heng's faces a few times before she asked curiously, "What I overheard you talking about... seemed to be about our Chiming clan? Right?"

Both Yu Jin and Dan Heng nodded.

Bai Lu scrutinized the two of them again, her little face full of doubt: "Then... you're also from the Vidyadhara clan?"

Yu Jin gestured with his chin toward Dan Heng: "I'm not, he is, but..."

Yu Jin snapped his fingers.

next second.

A pair of black dragon horns slowly emerged from the head of the embers.

Seeing Bai Lu's eyes light up, Yu Jin smiled and said, "I can become like you too."

Dan Heng looked at Yu Jin's changes with a thoughtful expression.

He closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, a pair of dragon horns appeared on his head with a faint light.

Meeting Bai Lu's curious and surprised gaze, Dan Heng's voice was clear: "This is my... Vidyadhara Dragon Form."

Under the bright moonlight, on the eaves, three figures with dragon horns gathered together, their soft laughter gradually spreading and dispelling the silence of the night.
