Chapter 192 Too Normal
As the strands of spiritual power seeped into Lu Yan's body like a trickle, her originally relaxed brows began to gradually furrow, and the wrinkles became deeper and deeper, as if someone had kneaded them hard with their hands.
However, what was surprising was that even though this spiritual power had been roaming in Lu Yan's body for a long time, she was still unable to detect even the slightest bit of abnormality.
This situation was so normal that Fang Congyi couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic and uneasiness in his heart.
Lu Yan didn't appear to be affected by any spell, yet his behavior was extremely unusual. This abnormality made her, already on edge, feel a little relieved. But even so, she still dared not let her guard down or become complacent, remaining vigilant at all times. After all, in this world filled with mysterious powers and unknown dangers, no one could guarantee what would happen next.
Time ticked by, each second seemingly stretched to infinity. For a long moment, she stared intently at the object before her, not daring to relax even a moment, repeatedly checking to see if there were truly any issues. Finally, after a long and agonizing wait, her heart finally settled a little.
At this moment, she let out a long, heavy breath, as if relieved from a heavy burden. That breath seemed to contain all the tension and anxiety she had been feeling for a while. As she exhaled, her tense body gradually relaxed. Then, she began to carefully and slowly withdraw her hand, her movements so slow that it seemed as if she was afraid of causing any unexpected consequences.
However, at that moment, her once calm heart seemed to have been thrown into a huge rock, causing ripples and filling her heart with doubts and confusion. She stared at Lu Yan in front of her with wide eyes, trying to find a clue from his familiar yet unfamiliar face, but found nothing.
What had happened? Why had Lu Yan become a completely different person, undergoing such a drastic change without any warning? Where had the gentle, considerate, and empathetic him gone? Was this cold, distant, and unpredictable man standing before her still the same person she knew? Countless questions flooded her mind, leaving her feeling suffocated and bewildered.
The man who once beamed with a smile as warm as the sun, bringing such warmth and comfort, had suddenly vanished from view, as if blown away by a mysterious gust of wind. He now appeared before everyone a completely changed man, emanating a cold apathy that was like the biting, whistling wind of winter, icy and unforgiving, chilling to the bone. His eyes, no longer filled with friendliness and warmth, had become as cold and deep as a thousand-year-old ice. His lips no longer lifted in a charming smile, but instead were pressed into a straight line, revealing a cold, distant apathy.
Especially his deep, captivating eyes. Not long ago, they gleamed with the gentle glow of the spring sun, seemingly capable of melting all the ice in the world. Yet, at this moment, they underwent a startling transformation, as if suddenly and mercilessly covered by a thick layer of frost. That frost not only obscured their original warmth and tenderness, but also shone through with a chilling, heart-wrenching chill. This chill, like a cold wind from the depths of hell, blew straight into the depths of one's soul, chilling one to the point of dread, afraid to even meet their gaze for a second.
This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering her world. She stood there, stunned, her eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on her face. Her body felt as if all strength had been drained away, limp, and even moving a step seemed incredibly difficult.
Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Unease surged over her like a tide, making it almost impossible to breathe. The deep fear, like a ghost in the night, silently eroded her soul and made her tremble uncontrollably.
"What on earth caused Lu Yan to become like this?" This question kept circling in her mind, and every thought brought more doubt and anxiety. She began to recall every detail of her time with Lu Yan, trying to find a clue, but everything seemed to be blurring out.
"Did I really do something wrong?" she muttered, her voice filled with self-blame and regret. Did I say something wrong? Or did something that angered him? Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but none could give her a clear answer. At this moment, she was like a lonely boat lost in the vast ocean, unable to find a way forward, only to drift with the current, at the mercy of fate.
Countless questions, like a dense swarm of bees, swirled and danced in her intelligent mind. Each question was like a tiny butterfly, fluttering its wings, trying to attract her attention, but she could not catch any of them, nor could she find a definite answer that would satisfy her.
At this moment, something completely unexpected happened. He felt as if he were suddenly struck by a gust of cold wind, blown from the sky. The gust came with such force that the air around him seemed to freeze instantly. He felt as if he were trapped in the icy snow of winter. An aura of chilling cold, a chilling aura, piercing the bones, seemed to reach the very depths of his soul, leaving him with a chilling chill.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, a chilling glint flashing within them. Then, he opened his lips slightly and spoke slowly, word by word, in an icy, harsh tone. His voice seemed to emanate from the depths of hell, carrying an endless chill and cruelty that seemed to freeze the air around him into an impenetrable block of ice, sending chills down one's spine.
"Fang Congyi...don't you think Bi Yaoyao looks a little familiar?"
The voice was low and suppressed, as if every word came from the bottom of a bottomless pool, bringing a chill that penetrated people's hearts.
When Lu Yan's low and magnetic voice reached Fang Cong's ears, her mind was suddenly struck by a flash of lightning, and Yao Yaoyao's pretty face instantly appeared.
However, this association lasted only a brief moment, like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky.
Almost in the next second, the rationality in Fang Cong's heart surged like a powerful torrent, ruthlessly drowning and destroying the idea that had just emerged, and completely negated it.
Because she knew very well that although she and Yao Yaoyao had some intersections and past, that was just a small ripple in the long river of life, and was not enough to be the key factor in thinking about the problem at this moment.
After all, if the person Lu Yan was talking about was really Yao Yaoyao, that would be a bit strange.
You know, as early as when they first met Bi Yaoyao, according to common sense, if it was really her, Lu Yan should have shown some special reaction or demonstrated a certain attitude!
However, this was not the case at the time. What was going on?
Is there some hidden story here, or is there some misunderstanding or mistake?
These questions can't help but make people fall into deep thought.
However, apart from these people, who else could make Lu Yan feel so confused?
Fang Congyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, secretly pondering this question. After all, he had just arrived here not long ago and knew very little about the people here and the various things that happened.
What’s more important is that even the book that records the various situations here in detail seems to have never mentioned the existence of such a person!
This is really puzzling and curious. What kind of mysterious character can arouse such strong doubts from Lu Yan?
Fang Congyi pondered over it but still couldn't find the answer.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Fang Cong stared at Lu Yan with his mouth wide open, his heart surging with emotions.
She never expected that Lu Yan would suddenly throw out such a question that left her clueless.
Fang Congyi frowned, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes blinked constantly, trying to sort out some clues from his confused thoughts.
However, no matter how hard she thought, she could not find a suitable answer to respond to Lu Yan.
After a fierce inner struggle, Fang Congyi finally made a difficult decision.
——Throw this difficult problem back to Lu Yan intactly.
She took a deep breath, carefully organized her words, and then asked the question back.
"Are you trying to say that besides Yao Yaoyao, there are other people who look very similar to her?"
While saying this, Fang Congyi stared closely at the changes in Lu Yan's expression, trying to catch some clues from it so as to better understand the real intention behind Lu Yan's question.
