He also didn’t have experience in flirting with females, and when alone with her, he felt somewhat uneasy.
Damn it, he, the dignified Young Master of the Moon Clan, had seen countless females, so why couldn’t he speak at a time like this?
Shen Tang originally thought Yue Lin had official business to discuss with her, but here he was, standing without speaking, his expression slightly unnatural, which made her a bit puzzled.
The air was quiet for a few seconds, creating an indescribable awkwardness.
It was Shen Tang who pulled over a chair, breaking the silence, "Captain, please sit down. Did you want to discuss something else with me tonight?"
Yue Lin looked at her for a while before asking in a low voice, "Why did you go to the S-class restricted area at that time?"
On the way, he had thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.
Shen Tang’s strength indeed exceeded his expectations; she was not a frail female, but her abilities were not outstanding either. Going alone to the S-class restricted area was far too risky.
Without a firm enough reason, it was hard for him to understand why she wanted to go to such a dangerous place.
Shen Tang said, "To earn points."
"Earn points?" Yue Lin was somewhat surprised, as if he hadn’t expected such a simple reason.
Even civilian females needed points to improve their lives, but compared to males, they actually had an easier path.
Especially for a young and beautiful female like her; instead of risking her life to earn points, she could easily form a contract with a powerful male or meet nobles through her looks to achieve social mobility.
Yue Lin didn’t want to dismiss her efforts or say anything offensive; he just felt that the Xun Fu in front of him was so different and appreciated her even more.
"Besides earning points, do you have any other plans for the future?" Yue Lin asked again.
Shen Tang nodded, "I want to find someone."
"A relative, or a friend? If you need help, I can assist."
"Thank you, Captain~" Shen Tang showed a grateful smile, but Yue Lin vaguely sensed that the female didn’t seem as happy as she appeared, as if shrouded in a faint sense of loss and sorrow.
When did it start?
He recalled it seemed to start after returning from the abyss, where she often appeared lost in thought, as if pondering something sad.
Yue Lin assumed she was just scared, and, pursing his lips slightly, clumsily comforted her, "Don’t be afraid. In the future, I’ll protect you and won’t let you encounter such danger again."
Shen Tang felt a slight stir in her heart, staring blankly at the handsome young Wolf Clan member in front of her, so similar to the one in her memory, and yet so different.
And the man she saw at the bottom of the cliff, what about Xiao Jin?
Shen Tang admitted she was still too emotional.
Or rather, when a deceased loved one suddenly appears alive in front of you, it’s hard for anyone to maintain their composure.
She couldn’t remain as calm as when she first met Yue Lin.
At that moment, she almost lost the ability to think, rushing towards him like a moth to a flame, just wanting to embrace him once more, even if it might only be a mere illusion.
Now slowly calming down, she’s beginning to ponder more mysteries.
Even if the resemblance between Yue Lin and Yun Han was merely coincidence, a second similar incident cannot be explained away so easily.
Moreover, Shen Tang had witnessed Xiao Jin’s body self-destruct, leaving only one crystal core taken by the laboratory.
She’s still unclear whether the lab and the System are connected, but the System can revive even her, so theoretically, it might be possible to reconstruct Xiao Jin’s body.
And the laboratory can even alter memories and change one’s nature.
The person she met in the abyss, could he be the revived Xiao Jin?
Or perhaps, not?
