If these words were said to a girl, she would definitely think it was flirting, but Jian Chunqiu is a man.

"Have we met before?" Jian Chunqiu looked at Liu Cheng suspiciously, sizing him up, but he couldn’t recall meeting such a person.

"Probably, I can’t remember clearly either, but I feel you look very familiar." Liu Cheng said with a slight smile.

Jian Chunqiu replied politely, "Maybe I have a very common appearance, that’s why you find me familiar."

Outside, Ye Chen was still waiting for him, and he didn’t want to linger here, so Jian Chunqiu didn’t say much more. He just nodded and smiled before leaving.

Liu Cheng watched Jian Chunqiu’s departing figure, a dangerous curve forming at the corner of his lips.

Jian Chunqiu returned to the hall and sat opposite Ye Chen, who asked, "Why did it take so long for you?"

"I met someone at the restroom entrance and chatted for a while."

Picking up the menu, Jian Chunqiu said to Ye Chen again, "You haven’t been to Beijing in so many years, I don’t know if you still like the flavors here. Take a look, this restaurant is quite good, and the dishes are very authentic."

Ye Chen smiled, not being polite, he took the menu directly from Jian Chunqiu’s hand and started looking through it, "Master, you know me best, I’ve always been picky about food."

Jian Chunqiu sat there leisurely, occasionally glancing to the side, and finally his gaze suddenly fell on Xia Xuan. He had seen this person a few times and, although not familiar, he knew that Xia Xuan had once worked for the Nangong Family.

Now, as a psychological teacher, he was taking care of Nangong Yunxi, but what surprised him wasn’t Xia Xuan, but Liu Cheng who was sitting opposite him.

This person had just greeted him at the restroom. Although nothing was apparent on the surface, he always felt something strange about this person. As a Divine Communication Mirror, he could feel that Liu Cheng also had a mysterious power, and this power was definitely not something an Ancient Martial Artist could cultivate.

Ye Chen had been looking at the menu for a while and named a few dishes, only to find that Jian Chunqiu was not paying attention to him. He looked up puzzled at Jian Chunqiu, "Master, what are you looking at?"

He turned his head following his gaze and saw only the back of Liu Cheng, which was a familiar sight that instinctively made him frown.

He abruptly stood up and rushed out, but Liu Cheng and Xia Xuan were faster and had already driven away.

Not even three minutes had passed, it seemed as if they left in a hurry.

Jian Chunqiu also quickly followed out, puzzled as he looked at Ye Chen and asked, "What’s going on?"

Ye Chen shook his head slightly, "I probably mistook them for someone else. I just saw a silhouette that looked a lot like Liu Cheng, the trusted protector and assistant of the Wufeng Palace Master."

"They all came to Beijing?" Jian Chunqiu instinctively asked.

As soon as he spoke, he realized that Ye Chen had just arrived in the Capital City, so he wouldn’t know for sure.

Moreover, there’s also the possibility of mistaking someone else.

"Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. Let’s go in and eat." Jian Chunqiu said.

After they entered the restaurant, not far on the street, in a black car, Xia Xuan and Liu Cheng were watching the restaurant’s entrance.

After seeing their figures enter, they slowly started the car, "Did you see them?"

Liu Cheng, sitting in the passenger seat, asked leisurely.

"I saw them, so what?"

Xia Xuan glanced at the rearview mirror, Jian Chunqiu and Ye Chen’s figures were no longer visible.

"When Jian Chunqiu ruthlessly expelled Ye Chen back then, he probably didn’t imagine today would come, did he?" Liu Cheng sneered slightly, a hint of mockery in his tone.

"What do you mean?" Xia Xuan looked at him sideways, "Did Jian Chunqiu specifically invite Ye Chen?"

"Otherwise, do you think, with Ye Chen’s stubbornness, he would voluntarily reconcile with Jian Chunqiu?" Liu Cheng stroked his chin and looked out the window, "I think Jian Chunqiu must have sensed something, so he went to find Ye Chen."

Xia Xuan pondered for a while, "I heard from Mu Yunfan that Jian Chunqiu had already gone to see them."

"Mu Yunfan?" Liu Cheng looked at him puzzled, "Isn’t he the owner of the third Time-Space Mirror?"

"That’s right, fortunately, the Palace Master has some personal connection with him, so they’ve already notified them over there, they won’t let them see the third Time-Space Mirror."

Liu Cheng snorted disdainfully, "Even if they see it, so what? The Time-Space Mirror requires a human blood sacrifice, didn’t we do a human sacrifice back in the Seventh Space-Time?"

Xia Xuan remained silent, the catastrophe from that time still vivid in his memory.

He drove silently, saying nothing more.

Liu Cheng seemed to think of something, curiously asking, "By the way, I remember the Chu Ge from the Seventh Space-Time came to our time-space, back then, the sacrificial person was his good friend. Do you think he might have found out something?"

Xia Xuan shook his head, looking forward with an icy gaze. Ahead was an intersection, the yellow light flickered a few times before turning red.

He slowly stopped the car, glanced sideways at Liu Cheng, and said, "He’s just an ordinary person, he can’t integrate into our world. Besides, he wasn’t present when things happened back then, he only heard about it from others, without proof, he won’t suspect anything."

"Are you so sure?" Liu Cheng frowned, he hated Xia Xuan’s tone of confidence the most, where everything seemed so clear to him.

"Don’t forget what my profession is."

He is a psychologist, a person’s every move reflects their inner thoughts, and while he can’t guess with absolute accuracy, he can understand a person’s character and disposition from small details.

"Xia Xuan, I remember telling you before, being with someone like you is truly terrifying."

Liu Cheng shook his head silently, he didn’t want to be seen through so transparently and clearly.

"Don’t worry, I usually don’t pry into others’ hearts."

The green light turned on, Xia Xuan restarted the car, Liu Cheng said nothing more, and Xia Xuan focused on driving, yet he couldn’t help thinking of Nangong Yunxi.

Previously, out of curiosity, he had wanted to understand Nangong Yunxi thoroughly, but in the end, he found that not only could he not see through Nangong Yunxi, but he was also completely seen through by him.

This frustrated him, but it also made him somewhat revere Nangong Yunxi in his heart.

The Old Palace Master entrusting the Wufeng Palace to Nangong Yunxi is not without reason.

"Liu Cheng, where are you staying now?"

Xia Xuan asked.

"Why, are you planning to reimburse my hotel fees?" Liu Cheng joked.

It was rare for Liu Cheng to joke, Xia Xuan smiled and shook his head, "That’s not out of the question."

"Alright, if I need anything, I’ll find you myself. As for you wanting to find me, just use our Wufeng Palace’s code to contact me."
