Chapter 169 Playing Chess with Master
Lu Anan took several deep breaths, closed her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "When did you start hearing it?"
Fu Zhiyan pursed his lips and said something that Lu Anan felt was extremely cruel: "From the first time I saw you."
Lu Anan felt a dizziness coming over her head, and the world around her seemed to start spinning.
[Doesn't that mean... that he heard every word I said to him?! ]
Fu Zhiyan nodded gently, "Yes, but I am very happy, so that I can seduce the baby."
Lu Anan: "..."
She covered her face with her hands in despair, and the surroundings fell into silence.
After a moment, she finally squeezed out a few words from between her fingers: "You...you stay by yourself for a while, I'm going out for a walk!"
After saying that, Lu Anan ran out of the ward quickly, ran to a sparsely populated place, stopped, and banged her head against the wall with tears in her eyes.
"How can I hear the voice of my heart?"
"It's fine if it's a real or fake daughter, but he also uses this kind of mind reading. I know what Master is always secretly watching in the room!"
A small flame appeared in Lu Anan's eyes.
"Every time I sneak into Master's room, he is always hiding something in a panic. It turns out he is hiding a novel!"
"A dishonest old man!"
She was standing there, clenching her fists and cursing, when the scene around her suddenly changed as if blown by a breeze.
Lu Anan looked around, stunned.
She was actually transferred to her master's courtyard in an instant!
Lu Anan immediately turned her gaze towards the peach tree in the yard, and saw the dishonest old man whom she had just scolded, sipping tea leisurely and waving at her with a smile on his face.
"My little disciple, come and play chess with me."
Lu Anan walked over with half-closed eyes, and placed his palm heavily on the chessboard, with an undisguised annoyance in his tone: "Master, don't you have anything you want to confess to me?"
The master slowly put down the chess piece in his hand, brushed his graying beard with his fingertips, and said in a calm voice: "I have already sent you home, what else do you want me to confess?"
Lu Anan's mind was full of confusion, and many questions came flooding in, but at this moment, the only thing that bothered her the most was this:
"Please explain to me first why they can hear my voice!"
She questioned her master in shame and anger.
The master said confidently: "So what? You see, because of your voice, they know a lot of things in advance and avoid them in advance, which also saves you from having to spend a lot of effort to make them believe your hard work. How great is that? You don't understand the painstaking efforts of the master at all!"
Lu Anan: "..."
Veins on her forehead were throbbing, her teeth were almost broken, and she could no longer bear it and said, "You can't just let them all hear it without reminding me! I'm not ashamed! I want them to hear everything clearly! You should at least... understand the situation! Listen to what they should hear, and block out what they shouldn't hear!"
The master's eyes wandered, "Well, this is the first time we have launched this business, so it's normal that there are some immature aspects. We can improve them!"
Lu Anan sat down expressionlessly, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said in an interrogative manner: "Tell me, Master, why was I pulled here from my small world? Also, did those brothers and sisters you threw down the mountain to train also return to their original small worlds? Oh, yes, why did you forcefully summon me here now?"
Upon hearing this, the master couldn't help but say: "My little disciple, your series of questions are like a chain of cannons. How can I answer them?"
Lu Anan's lips curled up into a cold smile, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "Of course I will answer them one by one, Master."
The master stroked his beard, his eyes seemed to be recalling something, and he said in a long voice: "My little disciple, to be precise, it is not me who extracted your souls from the small world, but you chose the Space-Time Administration among the thousands of small worlds."
"The Spacetime Administration is in charge of countless worlds. Every small world that is created should follow the established pattern from the moment it is conceived, slowly unfolding until it grows into a stable world. There are always some small worlds that deviate from the trajectory of the characters inside, leading to turmoil and even collapse of the world, so the Spacetime Administration was born for this reason."
"Over the years, the way the Time and Space Administration has dealt with the collapse of a small world is to let the small world start again, let the characters return to their positions, and repeat the established trajectory. However, there are always some characters in the small world who will break away from the plot again and again because their thoughts are too strong, jumping out of the established context. In your words, this is character awakening."
"Especially for heroes and heroines like you who carry the great fortune of the small world on your shoulders, once you change your mind and choose a path that goes against the established plot, the small world will collapse even faster. For this reason, the Spacetime Administration has to restart the world frequently in an attempt to make the disordered trajectory return to the established order. However, if the number of restarts is too many, the barrier of the small world will become weaker and weaker."
"Later on, the hero and heroine discovered the problem of the small world. For the sake of their families, for the sake of the Heavenly Dao in their hearts, or for the sake of the loved ones they wanted to protect, they made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, paid a price, and exchanged for a world that was not bound by the plot. This is why you are here."
The master's eyes fell on Lu An'an's gradually frozen face, and his tone was filled with inexplicable sadness: "Your guess is correct. Your brothers and sisters have indeed returned to where they should be, and you are here now because of...some other things."
Lu Anan slowly pulled herself away from this series of shocking information and asked in a daze: "What's the matter?"
The master was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "My little disciple, have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to piece together the many fragments of your memory?"
Lu Anan's expression became focused and she nodded. "I'm confused. I've always been confused. Is this Master's doing?"
The master stared at the lively and youthful girl in front of him, and a subtle sadness rose in his heart, "No, it's you."
Lu Anan frowned, doubts lingering in her mind like a mist: "Myself?"
The master nodded slightly: "Yes, look for yourself, the answers are all here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and gently tapped Lu Anan's forehead.
The next second, a skinny figure slowly formed in front of Lu Anan's eyes.
The figure became clearer and clearer until it was completely displayed in front of Lu Anan.
However, when she finally saw the man's face clearly, her face suddenly lost color and became extremely pale. Disbelief and deep heartache were intertwined in her eyes, and her voice trembled uncontrollably:
"You...are you me?"
