Section 6, Is it a coincidence

Furthermore, his parents once said that this old man survived a serious illness in the year he was born, becoming mute. This further proves that he, like himself, also came from that year. However, unlike himself who was reincarnated, he directly took over a body. As a result, upon arrival, he did not understand the language of this world and was afraid of being exposed, so he had no choice but to pretend to be mute.

Jon felt a bit bewildered, not understanding what this meant. The old man clapped three times, and aside from making him feel a little dizzy for a moment, it seemed to have no other effect. Surely, it couldn't be that the old man had mastered the legendary Bone-Melting Palm? If that were the case, he should have struck him on the body instead.

Jon successfully took action, and from then on, he would crawl into his sister's side every night, intentionally or unintentionally touching her. The Shadow Realm is the domain of the Night Goddess Shar, and naturally, there is no such thing as the sun, nor any light sources. Although the City of Shadows has an artificial sun, it mainly serves to provide light, with insufficient heat dissipation, and it only illuminates for eight hours a day. Therefore, the nights in the City of Shadows are extremely cold.

First of all, this old fellow is very likely someone who has also traveled through time, and originally, he was from Earth, also a Chinese person; otherwise, how could he speak Chinese and understand what he just said

What are you thinking?" Shanjia tapped Qiong'en on the head and said, "A person is foolishly laughing.

On the day their parents passed away, taking advantage of the opportunity when Shanjia was ill with a fever, Qiong'en stripped his sister bare like a little lamb and held her in his arms to sleep, finally fulfilling a small wish.

He does not like Shanjia wearing pajamas

For this reason, Jon and the mute old man have been neighbors for seven years, having met no more than a hundred times at most, while Jon's bald dog sees him every day. Even when they do happen to meet, Jon is too lazy to greet him, and the mute old man naturally does not speak, as if they do not see each other at all. This cannot be said to indicate that Jon does not respect the elderly; rather, the old man exudes a chilling aura that truly intimidates Jon, causing him to avoid him.

It is nothing

Jon looked at him nervously, momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to do. Thoughts flickered in his mind, even the idea of killing to silence him crossed his mind. Shanja, on the other hand, was relatively relaxed; she didn't understand what the old man was saying at all and thought it was just meaningless sounds emitted by a mute.

Extremely wonderful

The old man slowly raised his hand, gently patting Jon's head three times, then clasped his hands behind his back, hunched his body, and walked away at a leisurely pace, while the bald dog hurriedly followed him with a waddle.

The old man's sinister voice suddenly echoed from behind. Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but shudder all over. Here it comes, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he would just take this gamble.

"Don't make a fuss, be good, I'm tired," Shanjia said, reaching out to push Jon's hand away.

Jon waited quietly, remaining still until he was certain that Sansa had fallen into a deep sleep, and then he quietly got up, climbed down from the bed, and opened the door to step outside

Wait, taking on disciples? Three taps on the head, then walking away with hands behind the back—this scene feels so familiar, as if I have read about it in some book

Hello. She bowed and performed a greeting

Although she is just a seven-year-old girl, her flat chest and lack of curves do not evoke much desire. However, her naturally delicate and smooth skin gives a unique feeling of warmth and softness when embraced. Since that day, Jon has used the excuse of it being too cold at night and being unable to sleep, insisting on crawling into his sister's bed. Fortunately, Sansa did not seem displeased, likely viewing him merely as a mischievous little brother, allowing him to do so.

This is a placeholder text.

Jon turned around and slightly bowed: "Sir."

Jon temporarily withdrew, wrapping his arms around Sansa's waist from behind, holding his sister in his embrace. The little girl quickly fell asleep, and Jon's hand quietly moved to her chest, unbuttoning her nightgown one button at a time, gently slipping it off her body.

"Journey to the West" is one of the Four Great Classical Novels, and naturally, Qiong En had read it before his time travel. Although he could not recite it verbatim, he was quite familiar with its plot.

In her sleep, Shanja did not resist, likely having grown accustomed to it. Drowsily, she allowed Jon to remove her nightgown completely and nestled closer into his warm embrace, continuing to sleep.

Since that is the case, what does he plan to do now that he has discovered I am also a time traveler? Jon pondered

The mute old man next door

But which elderly person in this world can understand Chinese

So, what does it mean when the old man taps his head three times? Surely he doesn't intend to take himself as a disciple

In "Journey to the West," there was once a monkey who sought a master to learn the art of immortality. The master patted him three times on the head and walked away with his hands behind his back. This monkey, a spiritual being nurtured by heaven and earth, was indeed clever and comprehended the profound mysteries within. That very night, at the third watch, he sneaked out through the back door to meet his master, receiving the great teachings and achieving the divine powers of transcending the creation of heaven and earth.

Indeed, they talked for a long time—an entire night. When Jon walked out of the old man's—oh, he should now be called Master—home, it was already bright outside.

Hmm. The old man nodded, snapped his fingers, and turned on the lights. The City of Shadows is a place where magic is highly developed, and many aspects of daily life have been permeated by magic. Even in the homes of commoners, facilities such as lighting and gas hot water are magical items, and they are extremely affordable, making them accessible even to the poorest families

This time, they spoke entirely in Chinese. Since they were well acquainted with each other, there was no need for concealment. Qiong'en had been in this world for seven years and naturally had no opportunity to speak Chinese in daily life. However, this was his mother tongue; he had spoken it for a full twenty years in his previous life. Now, as he resumed speaking it, there was no hindrance at all

Since this old man, like me, has traveled from China, he must certainly be familiar with the well-known story of "Journey to the West." It seems that he might be intentionally seeking to take me as his disciple

Journey to the West

In a state of confusion, he was unaware of when his sister pulled him out of the graveyard. It was only after the wind blew along the way that his mind began to clear, allowing him to slowly analyze the situation.

The bustling streets during the day had turned desolate and quiet, with the streetlights ignited by magic casting a dim glow that flickered with his footsteps. Jon quietly stepped out of his house, keeping close to the wall, and walked all the way to the doorstep of the old man next door

After a busy day, Shanjia was already very tired. After taking a shower, she returned to her bedroom, where Jon, who had been hiding under the covers, pulled her onto the bed and held her in his arms. Immediately afterward, Shanjia felt one of Jon's hands move to her chest, beginning to unbutton her pajamas.

The siblings returned home, and there was little else to say. Life in the City of Shadows had remained almost unchanged for hundreds of years, consisting merely of running a shop, trading, organizing materials, and eating—ultimately, it was time to go to bed as night fell

Shan Jia is a girl with a naturally yin constitution. When she sleeps alone at night, her bed is always unable to warm up, and her hands and feet often remain cold for half the day. Ever since she was held by Qiong En, it has been like having a personal human heater, allowing her to fall into a sweet sleep every night. Over time, she has grown accustomed to it.

"Since you are here," he said hoarsely, "please take a seat; I fear we will have a long conversation."

Jon slowly turned around and saw a bald old man, hunched over, with a weary expression, holding a similarly aged bald dog in his hand

If it were only that, it would be fine; perhaps it was just someone who misspoke by chance. The problem lies in the fact that the phrase "said well" consists of three characters, which is surprisingly also in Chinese

An old man said to John in Chinese: "Well said"

This sentence is uttered in a hoarse, low, and feeble manner, resembling the voice of an elderly person on the verge of death

Jon had heard from his parents that this mute old man was not always mute; in fact, he was quite talkative. His wife had passed away long ago, and he had no children, living alone. However, it was the year Jon was born, specifically on the day he and Shanja were born, that the old man took a heavy fall while walking. For someone of his age, a single fall could easily be fatal. Fortunately for him, although he developed a high fever that night, he managed to pull through. Yet, from that day on, he became mute and never spoke another word. His personality also became eccentric, as he would lock himself in his house day and night, rarely interacting with others.

The room was pitch dark, permeated by a chilling atmosphere, accompanied by an indescribable strange odor, reminiscent of some kind of medicine. Jon steadied himself, making an effort to allow his eyes to adjust to the darkness, and with the moonlight filtering in from outside, he finally managed to vaguely discern the outlines of his surroundings

Forget it, he is just an old man on the verge of death, what abilities could he possibly have? If he really had any skills, he wouldn't still be here wasting time after seven years. That said, Jon doesn't expect this old man to teach him anything, but could he perhaps show some kindness and designate Jon as his heir? After all, he doesn't have many years left to live. Although looking at his dilapidated home, it seems unlikely that he has much savings, but one should not judge by appearances; he might actually have some treasures.

He reached out to push the door, and it opened with a touch, confirming that it was indeed unlocked. Jon took a deep breath and, steeling his courage, stepped inside

Jon nervously looked at the old man

Now, there is an old man standing in the cemetery, behind John, speaking in the language of his past life: "Well said"

This is truly unbelievable

The old man remained silent, his pair of murky eyes fixed on Jon, making him feel uneasy. Sansa sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat off, though she couldn't quite understand why. Just as she was about to pull Jon away, the old man suddenly approached them.

"Could it be that you want to eliminate me? No, that won't happen," Jon immediately dismissed this thought, "It's unlikely, and there's no need for it. At his age, he doesn't have many years left to live, so why make things difficult for me"
