I will take you there.\" A waiter offered and led the way to the private box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan entered the box, they saw Lin Xiang but didn’t see Song Wancheng or Song Wanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xiang.\" Shen Xu greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, it’s good to see you.\" Lin Xiang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations for advancing to the foundation establishment realm.\" Zhen Yuan said and the young woman couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was aware that the two didn’t initially take her seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after more than one year of getting along, their relationship had eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, there was still a difference between their relationship with Song Wancheng and their relationship with her, the difference wasn’t too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down first.\" Lin Xiang said, pointing at the sofa across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can order whatever you want. It’s my treat.\" She said but Shen Xu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it be your treat? Let’s treat you to a meal to congratulate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xiang chuckled and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the three talked about inconsequential things while waiting for their order to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the food arrived, they still stayed on easy topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until after the meal that Shen Xu asked about Song Wancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Song is gone.\" Lin Xiang said, her hand trembling around her wine cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gone? What do you mean?\" Shen Xu asked in an anxious voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Shen Xu’s pale face, Lin Xiang realised she had said the wrong thing and immediately corrected herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I mean is that brother Song is no longer on the Canglan continent.\" She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Lin Xiang told the two about everything that happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the year-end assessment, Lin Xiang retreated in the academy’s seclusion caves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had nothing better to do, Song Wancheng went home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally planned to stay there for a few days before returning to the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, things didn’t go as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Wancheng got home, the who household was on alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, his father’s concubine had just given birth to a boy. Most importantly, the child had a single lightning root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Wancheng didn’t like it, he didn’t think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day of his stay, Song Wancheng was poisoned and later ambushed while trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he used a cross-continent teleportation talisman to escape from the Canglan continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu frowned and glanced at Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Song Wancheng bought a protective jade pendant in the previous auction. Why didn’t he use it?\" Zhen Yuan asked and Lin Xiang lowered her eyes in discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it something you can’t say?\" Shen Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I can say it.\" Lin Xiang clenched her hands and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Song..., he had a little maid in his backyard. The maid betrayed him. It was her who poisoned him and took his storage ring. Fortunately, brother Song always hid the cross-border teleportstion Talisman in his sleeve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect so many things to happen while he and Zhen Yuan were in retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the maid? \" He asked through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I have dealt with her.\" Lin Xiang said, her eyes filled with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Song Wanqing okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is in retreat. I don’t know if she knows about brother Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Song Wancheng’s father...\" Shen Xu started but Lin Xiang shook her head before he could finish his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no evidence that the concubine did it. Also, the concubine has given him a talented son. Even if he is angry for Song Wancheng, he won’t do anything excessive.\" Lin Xiang said through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the room went silent and everyone fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incense stick later, Shen Xu looked at Lin Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your plans?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to enter the demon plants forest and then leave the Canglan continent. Maybe...\" Lin Xiang clenched her hands without finishing her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, Lin Xiang wanted to meet Song Wancheng but the world was too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the mid-level and high-level continents, there were countless low-level continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no telling where Song Wancheng was teleported to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they knew, with their current strength, they didn’t have the ability to find or rescue the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this, Shen Xu was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he wanted Lin Xiang to wait for Song Wancheng but on the other, he wanted her to move on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, like Song Wancheng, Lin Xiang was his good friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he be happy to watch her waste her life on someone she may never meet again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Song Wancheng and Lin Xiang had never pierced the paper wall between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Lin Xiang waited and eventually found Song Wancheng, what guarantee did she have that he would also be waiting for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts crossed his mind but in the end, Shen Xu chose not to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was not because he favoured Song Wancheng over Lin Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because he couldn’t interfere in other people’s feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to wait or forget, the choice had to be Lin Xiang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring it out, Shen Xu took something from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is?\" Lin Xiang looked at the storage ring on the double’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my and brother Yuan’s gift. Congratulations on advancing to the foundation establishment realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A storage ring is too expensive. I can’t take it.\" Lin Xiang refused but Shen Xu insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are friends.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard that, Lin Xiang could no longer refuse and gratefully accepted the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when saw saw what was inside, her hand trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.892Z",1,"novelbin.me","15acab33ad1493c7440c29a7337c461194dfdc1801c504c7a8baad2c5be95a9f","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-119","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-117",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
