Lu Yuan asked.
Meng Qianqian shook her head. "I don't know him. I found him in the cellar where the array was drawn."
The first time they met, he grabbed her wrist, making Meng Qianqian almost think he recognized her.
But after reconsidering, anyone related to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion—even if they recognized her—could only know the Shang Jiu from her previous life. She had long since reincarnated into the body of Meng Qianqian of You State.
He couldn't possibly recognize her as Shang Jiu just by instinct.
He must have grabbed her instinctively, clutching at a straw to save himself.
Lu Yuan mused, "The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion imprisons but does not kill, which indicates this person still holds value to them."
Meng Qianqian recalled, "He was imprisoned in the secret room where I was once kept. In my memories, it seems someone took my blood then, using it to complete the array."
