The courtyard shrouded in mist.
Beside the ruins of a collapsed pavilion.
Wang Ba listened to Chen Xuan's words, and couldn't help but furrow his brows again, staring at Chen Xuan.
Initially, he had some guesses about Chen Xuan's origins, but upon hearing his words now, he realized his conjecture might have gone astray.
At this moment, he had to re-evaluate the other's background and the possible dangers they posed.
His gaze flickered, hinting at a dangerous glint:
"Chen, it's best if you reveal a bit more."
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:
"I swear by the Realm Sea, outside the Sea Market, I absolutely did not deceive you, my Taoist Friend... It's just that once I stepped onto that jade stairway, I vaguely felt a deep familiarity with this place, as if I had been here before. Additionally... the only thing I deceived you about was, outside the pavilion, I actually saw two people inside playing chess, and both seemed familiar to me..."
