Chapter 1307: I Want to Ask You to Help Me Find Jiang Ying
The next day.
After Bai Zhi’er finished her breakfast, Qingmei lifted the curtain and reported that Jiang Ying had arrived.
She immediately smiled and said, "Sister Jiang, you’re here so early. Are you here to play with me? Let her in quickly!"
However, the moment Bai Zhi’er saw Jiang Ying, she was stunned.
Jiang Ying had large dark circles under her eyes, clearly from not sleeping well.
"Sister Jiang, what’s wrong? Did my uncle bully you? Tell me, and I’ll help you teach him a lesson!"
After Qingmei served the tea, she tactfully withdrew.
Only the two of them remained inside.
Jiang Ying was pulled to the table by Bai Zhi’er and sat down. She choked up and said, "Zhi’er, can I talk to you about anything?"
"Perhaps some things sound bizarre, and you might not believe them, but I have no other way. I want to try my best with you."
This was the first time Bai Zhi’er had seen the joyful Jiang Ying show such an expression.
She took it seriously: "Of course, you can tell me anything. I won’t doubt you."
Jiang Ying took a deep breath to calm herself.
"I’m not Jiang Ying. Actually, I’m called Jiang Ying’er, and I come from a thousand years in the future. A car accident probably caused me to unintentionally transmigrate into this body called Jiang Ying."
After saying this, she expected to see a confused look on Bai Zhi’er’s face.
Unexpectedly, the girl merely blinked her long lashes, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it a place called the modern world?"
This time, it was Jiang Ying’s turn to be shocked.
"How do you know?"
Bai Zhi’er paused: "I read about it in a book."
Actually, as the Heavenly Dao, which means the deity of everyone’s destiny in the world, Bai Zhi’er knew that there was more than one world under this sky.
She once heard her mother say that time lines operate simultaneously, and there is a place called the modern world where materials are scarce, spiritual energy is lacking, and everyone has thick walls in their hearts, yet their lives are very convenient.
However, their sense of happiness is low, and most people are not happy.
And there, it’s also a place where demonic qi thrives.
At this time, Bai Zhi’er remembered that her mother also mentioned once that the modern world is mostly under the Demon Lord’s rule.
So Brother Fu Ce was also leading another time line?
Jiang Ying’s voice brought Bai Zhi’er’s thoughts back.
"What book? Could it be left by a transmigrator like me?" She urgently needed to find a compatriot.
Bai Zhi’er wanted to say it was the Heavenly Book.
But, of course, she couldn’t tell Jiang Ying that.
Thus, she could only say, "I once followed an extraordinary person in Jianghu to study fate. Those ancient books, which have long been lost, briefly described the modern world you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying gave up.
She sighed, "I knew it, no one can be as unfortunate as me."
Bai Zhi’er smiled: "Having a car accident means death, right? Now that you’ve been reborn and gained a second life, you should consider yourself lucky."
Jiang Ying looked troubled: "But I have taken on someone else’s life."
"When I first woke up, it was after this body had drowned, so presumably she drowned at that time."
"The original owner of this body, Jiang Ying, had a cousin who was mutually in love with her since childhood. But since I’m no longer Jiang Ying, I naturally can’t accept that cousin’s proposal."
"I know you’re very capable, Zhi’er, so I want to ask you to help me find Jiang Ying."
Bai Zhi’er was taken aback: "Find her? Then what?"
"Let her return. This body hasn’t decayed yet. She can still come back, right?"
After Jiang Ying finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er remained silent.
