When Rong Yi found Bai Su, Bai Su had already married Ouyang Hao. Although Ouyang Zixin had not yet been born at that time, she couldn't help but say, "Master Rong, thank you!"
Ouyang Zixin lived with a heart full of gratitude because she knew that if she hadn't been reborn as the daughter of Ouyang Hao and Bai Su, she would have died in that car accident.
"In the hundred years in the secret realm, I spent my time either cultivating or missing you," Rong Yi said with a tone full of regret.
Only after that person had long gone did he realize how deeply he loved her. What could be more painful than this? What was once within reach was now utterly unattainable.
Looking at the man before her, Ouyang Zixin felt pity for him, but that was all. Feelings do not wait forever; once missed, all that remains is regret and a sigh.
"Suddenly looking back, that person is just there in the dim light," Ouyang Zixin unexpectedly thought of this line of poetry and blurted it out.
"What?" Rong Yi was taken aback by the profound helplessness in Ouyang Zixin's words. How could a five-year-old child say something like this?
"It's nothing, just a line of poetry I saw in some book," Ouyang Zixin quickly urged him to continue, fearing he might discover something.
"For me, a hundred years have passed, but for Susu, it has only been a little over ten years. I can see that Ouyang Hao has treated her very well during these years; they are very happy.
Originally, Susu wanted to return the jade ring to me, but I insisted on not accepting it. Girl, I just wanted to irritate Ouyang Hao a bit, to leave a jar of old vinegar by his side to remind him constantly that if he dared to wrong Susu, I would not let him go." Of course, Rong Yi's reason for leaving the jade ring wasn't so childish, but he liked to say it that way.
Ouyang Zixin understood perfectly well and rolled her eyes at his childish behavior.
"Girl, I have a few questions I want to ask you." If her estimation was correct, this girl would likely be chosen to enter Fortune's Secret Realm. Therefore, some things needed to be clarified in advance.
"You ask." Ouyang Zixin felt a bit anxious; was her secret about to be discovered?
"Since your birth, you have been able to see objects, correct?"
"Yes." Ouyang Zixin still remembered clearly seeing Ouyang Hao and Bai Su when she was "born."
"You learned to read and write all by yourself, correct?"
"Yes." The characters of the Yuhai Continent were not complicated, and for someone working as a journalist, she felt quite familiar and comfortable with words.
Wasn't that right? Ouyang Zixin had never thought about the issue of her literacy; her parents had never found it strange, had they?
"Reading and writing seem to come naturally to you, correct?"
"Yes." Ouyang Zixin nodded again, growing more puzzled about what Rong Yi was trying to ask.
"Before the age of five, did you ever have any strange dreams?"
Strange dreams? A flash of insight crossed Ouyang Zixin's mind, but she dared not think deeply. She wondered if Rong Yi was probing into her mind.
"No, but I did have a few nightmares after turning five." Dreaming of her mother from her previous life didn't count as a strange dream; in that sense, she wasn't deceiving Rong Yi.
"After passing through the Mystical Energy Test gate, right?"
"It seems so; I hadn't really thought about it before." Could it be that Rong Yi could even tell fortunes?
“Girl, listen carefully to what I’m about to say. I will only say this once and will not answer any questions,” Rong Yi's expression grew more serious, losing the playful demeanor he usually had.
Ouyang Zixin felt a growing sense of unease as she observed this, and she nodded solemnly.
“Regarding Susu, I cannot say much. You will naturally come to know what you need in the future. Being able to see things since birth is not ordinary. Ouyang Hao and Susu have protected you well, keeping it from outsiders, which is the right thing to do; otherwise, you might not have made it this far.
As for learning to read and write, don’t mention it to anyone else. Just say you learned it from your master; that won’t cause any trouble.
About those strange dreams, for now, it’s not a problem. In the future, I will teach you a set of Mystical Energy Heart Method, and you will benefit greatly from it.
Also, your internal Mysterious Energy pathways are blocked. I can help you with that, and then you will be able to cultivate Mysterious Energy. However, you will have to endure some hardship…”
Initially, Ouyang Zixin listened intently, but as time went on, she felt that everything seemed trivial when it came to Rong Yi. If nothing was a big deal, why was he acting so cautious and serious?
“Stop!” Is this a joke? Ouyang Zixin felt defeated by this nonsensical Master Rong.
“What’s the main point?” It felt like being in a meeting where a lot was said but the main point was nowhere to be found. Ouyang Zixin used to dread attending such meetings.
“The main point is what I was about to say before you interrupted me!” Rong Yi shrugged helplessly, spreading his hands and looking up at the sky.
“Childish! Can’t you be serious just once? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Endure some hardship? Since you came here, how much hardship have I not endured? When did I ever say I wanted to cultivate? I just came here for some peace; my parents will come to pick me up later…” Ouyang Zixin spoke rapidly, her words spilling out in a rush.
Rong Yi didn’t seem to register her words until she finally stopped talking. He stood up gracefully and casually remarked that enduring hardship is a blessing before leaving Ouyang Zixin’s sight.
What does that mean? Ouyang Zixin was angry but upon reflection, it seemed that Rong Yi knew a lot about her.
Some things were never taken seriously in Ouyang Zixin's eyes, but after this seemingly useless conversation, she suddenly realized that what she thought was unimportant actually seemed so unreasonable.
The strangest part was that Rong Yi referred to that nightmare as a strange dream. She hadn't thought about it for a long time; could there really be something odd about it?
She also recalled the few books she had read about dreams. The content was quite ordinary, with nothing particularly noteworthy, and she had no idea where Liu Lvy had put them.
"Damn Rong Yi!" If he hadn't been so sure that Ouyang Zixin would lose her composure, why would he have deliberately only said half of the most important thing?
If she had known...
Ouyang Zixin was frustrated to death, but there was nothing she could do about Rong Yi. Looking at the stone bench where Rong Yi had just sat, she thought about smashing it.
Actions often outpaced thoughts, which was exactly the kind of person Ouyang Zixin was.
"Huh?" She couldn't break it? Wasn't she supposed to be incredibly strong?
Looking at the immovable stone bench and then at her own palm, Ouyang Zixin realized she hadn't used her unusual strength in a long time. Did it not work anymore?
It shouldn't be that; it must be that some advanced Mysterious Energy was infused into this stone bench. Rong Yi was someone who could easily handle such things.
Forget it; if she couldn't break it, then so be it. Taking out her frustration on a bench felt rather childish anyway.
