Fall: Rebirth

Time passed quietly, and Chu Heng finally closed the book. His eyes revealed a kind of tranquility and thought.

"What's going on?" Yan Luo asked seriously, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes revealing concern and expectation, as if she was worried that Chu Heng didn't find the answer he wanted.

Chu Heng replied thoughtfully: "This book records a lot of things, but it doesn't seem to be the answer I'm looking for."

There was a hint of disappointment and confusion in Chu Heng's eyes. His brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about what to do next.

"What should I do?" Yan Luo frowned slightly, looking even more disappointed than Chu Heng. She bit her lips lightly, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in her eyes.

"It's okay, we can take our time and continue searching." Chu Heng said with a smile, his tone gentle but firm. He seemed to want to comfort Yan Luo with words, so that she wouldn't be too disappointed.

Then, Chu Heng lowered his head, carefully put away the books in his hands, and put them back to their original positions on the bookshelf. His movements were light and skillful, as if he was very familiar with the environment here.

Yan Luo's eyes stayed on Chu Heng. She watched his every move quietly, with a subtle emotion flashing in her eyes, like ripples on a calm lake. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and a faint blush appeared on her face, like a touch of red clouds dyed on the horizon by the rising sun.

Chu Heng seemed to notice Yan Luo's gaze, he raised his head and met her eyes. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, they seemed to have forgotten everything around them, only each other existed, the whole world became quiet.

Both of them were a little overwhelmed, but they didn't want to break the peace.

A faint blush crept up Yan Luo's cheeks, and she quickly turned her head away, trying to hide her shyness. Her heart felt like being run around by a deer, making her feel flustered, as if a spring breeze had blown by and disturbed her heartstrings.

Chu Heng immediately turned his face away in embarrassment. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner restlessness. However, when he inadvertently glanced at the glowing volumes of books in the center of the library, his eyes suddenly lit up, like a bright lamp in the darkness, illuminating his thoughts.

"Well... in the past few days, it seems that I haven't read those only books." Chu Heng slowly turned his head, spoke to break the awkwardness, and pointed in the direction of the crystal ball.

Hearing the voice, Yan Luo also raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Heng, then looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw that the books suspended in the air were emitting a faint light, like bright pearls, looking very mysterious.

Seeing these books, Yan Luo's eyes revealed a trace of awe and curiosity. She moved forward lightly, as if attracted by the books. She whispered, "It is said that the books here contain the most precious knowledge and secrets of the God Realm. However, when my master first brought me to the library, I heard her say that this crystal ball can only be opened by gods above the level of God Lord. Even a god like me cannot open it."

Chu Heng frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked at the glowing books again, his heart full of doubts. He thought to himself: "Are these books really so important? Or do they hide some unknown secrets? What is hidden in them?"

"Perhaps, we can ask Lord Qingli for help." Yan Luo's eyes revealed a hint of expectation and hope.

She was secretly looking forward to getting clues to finding Lingyue Grass from Qingli God this time, and at the same time solving the mystery about fire in Chu Heng's mind.

Chu Heng turned his head slightly, looked at Yan Luo seriously, and said, "But, I don't want Master to know that I'm looking for information about flames."

There was a hint of firmness and determination in Chu Heng's eyes, and his expression was serious and earnest.

"Why?" There was a hint of curiosity and concern in Yan Luo's eyes. She moved forward lightly, as if trying to understand Chu Heng's thoughts.

Chu Heng sighed slightly and said, "I don't know why Master has been missing these days. It seems like she has something important to deal with. I don't want her to be distracted because of me."

There was a hint of helplessness and worry in Chu Heng's eyes, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he felt distressed for his master's busyness.

"So that's how it is." Yan Luo's eyes revealed a hint of understanding and support, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if giving Chu Heng a comforting smile.

Chu Heng stared at the glowing books, his eyes revealing a hint of firmness and determination. He thought to himself: I must not let Yan Luo know that he was looking for information about fire in order to investigate the cause of his parents' death.

Ever since he recovered his childhood memories and returned to the divine realm, Chu Heng has been secretly searching for information about fire, but he has never gotten a definite answer.

Now, after finally getting a clue, he seemed to be further away from the truth. Therefore, he decided not to tell Yan Luo the truth for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Then let's go back first." Chu Heng said softly, his eyes still on those mysterious books, but he knew that he had no choice but to leave now.

Yan Luo nodded, feeling a little disappointed, but she still managed a smile and said, "Okay, maybe there will be other ways in the future."

The two walked out of the library together. They walked in silence, not speaking a word along the way, each with their own thoughts.
