Lan Explains

"My name is Lan She. We knew each other before, but many millennia have passed since then. You were a very important person to me, and I have been searching for a way to meet you once more.

"I understand that the person I knew back then is not the same as the one who stands in front of me now, but still, I have been looking for you, and wish to offer you the opportunity to leave the Ghost Realm alongside me."

Lan paused for some time while looking at the self-confident woman in front of him, and he felt relieved.

"Do not worry, I am not looking to have anything in return, nor do I wish to tie you by my side when we leave; my only hope is that you can be happy."

Mo Lian felt conflicted when she noticed the sad but sincere light within Lan's eyes. He did not seem to be trying to trick her, but genuinely just wished for her to live a good life.

"Why?"
