The Whole World Knows That the Crown Prince Loves Her

She saw the tower descend from the sky in the tower realm but didn’t see what happened afterward, so she didn’t know why the tower imprisoned Rong Mian. However…

They had already found the person Rong Mian cared about. That was enough; the rest didn’t matter.

Looking at the person in front of her, Huang Quan asked, “What’s your name?”

This particular tower realm was strange. From beginning to end, it never mentioned the boy’s name. Even when the boy died, his name was never mentioned. This was unusual.

In real life, whether it’s a real name, a fake name, or just a nickname, you have to have some sort of name. It’s impossible not to have one. So, Huang Quan suspected that the mastermind behind this had deliberately concealed the boy’s name.

As for why…

She didn’t know. But now that she had met the person in real life, asking him should reveal the answer.

“My name is Chong Yu.”

Upon hearing the name, the Great Priest looked at the man in astonishment, “What did you say your name was?”

Seeing him so agitated, Huang Quan asked, “What? Is your name the same? Or is it someone you know?”

Under Huang Quan’s gaze, the Great Priest moved his lips but couldn’t speak.

Huang Quan, seeing his expression, was taken aback for a moment before saying, “No way! Is your name really Chong Yu?”

Everyone called him the Great Priest, and due to his special status, no one dared to ask his real name. This led to the situation where, except for a few special individuals, no one knew the Great Priest’s real name.

Huang Quan was not one of those special people, so she naturally didn’t know his name.

“Chong Yu.” The Great Priest didn’t answer Huang Quan’s question but looked at the man wrapped in a black robe and said, “The hope of restoring the light. This is the meaning my clan gave to my name.”

“What is the meaning of your name?”

After hearing the Great Priest’s words, Huang Quan looked at the person in front of her.

The Great Priest’s clan had faced continuous deaths due to the dead line and eventually made a desperate move, sacrificing everyone to save the Great Priest. To the deceased clan members, the dead line brought endless darkness. Only the restoration of light could dispel the darkness and bring new hope.

Chong Yu, this was their hope for the Great Priest.

He was their last light and hope.

A boy named Chong Yu with the dead line existed many years ago.

Years later, a Great Priest born with the dead line was also named Chong Yu.

**Is this a coincidence?**

Having people with the same name is not unheard of, and people who aren’t related by blood can look alike, so why not names?

But the situation with the Great Priest and this person named Chong Yu is different. The dead line, the name, Rong Mian—everything is connected to Rong Mian. There are too many coincidences!

Huang Quan looked at the Great Priest, even beginning to doubt whether the Great Priest’s discovery of the ruins was a coincidence.

Was it a coincidence, or was it orchestrated by someone?

More importantly, this person was a living dead!

This Chong Yu in front of her was in a living dead state; his soul was long gone. What kept him alive was some kind of power, unrelated to his soul. His soul was somewhere else, who knows where?

But if one were to boldly speculate, if his soul had entered reincarnation, then what about the Great Priest…

Huang Quan pressed her lips together, stopping all her conjectures in time, and quietly watched the two.

“I…”

Facing Rong Mian’s question, the boy had managed to speak despite the difficulty. But now, facing the Great Priest’s question, simply answering the meaning of his name, the boy couldn’t speak.

Having a similar name and being surprised by it is normal. The meaning of a name can vary, and explaining it or not can both be rationalized. Even saying “I don’t remember” would be more normal than not saying anything at all.

Something was off!

Chong Yu opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

Seeing him like this, the Great Priest and Huang Quan grew increasingly suspicious.

The Great Priest looked at him, suddenly recalling their last meeting.

It’s normal for someone living in the ruins to be surprised when seeing an outsider. But, upon closer reflection, that surprise wasn’t the kind shown when meeting someone new; it was something else.

The Great Priest stared at Chong Yu and suddenly lunged forward, reaching for Chong Yu’s hood.

Chong Yu, taken aback, bent backwards to avoid the Great Priest’s move, then swiftly moved his feet to retreat, putting distance between them.

Huang Quan: “…” Why did they suddenly start fighting?

Seeing Chong Yu dodge, the Great Priest didn’t pursue. Instead, he raised his hand, summoning a strong wind that made Chong Yu’s robe flap wildly. The hood that had been covering his face was blown back, and the hair that hid his features flew around, revealing pale skin.

Chong Yu quickly reached up, grabbing the hood that had almost been blown off.

The Great Priest, prepared for this, took advantage of the moment when Chong Yu was grabbing the hood to appear in front of him.

“You…”

Chong Yu only managed to say one word before the hand holding his hood was grabbed by the Great Priest.

The Great Priest gripped his hand, looking at him with a heavy gaze. “You can refuse to show me, but I will not take you to see him.”

Chong Yu knew very well who the “him” referred to, and panic showed on his face. In his panic, the Great Priest exerted force, making Chong Yu release his grip. At the same time, he raised his hand again, causing the hood on Chong Yu’s head to fall off.

The hair flew up and then fell back down. Without the hood’s cover, Chong Yu’s pale face was exposed to Huang Quan and the Great Priest.

Seeing Chong Yu’s face, Huang Quan was stunned and then looked at the Great Priest. The Great Priest, however, was not surprised upon seeing Chong Yu’s face.

He had been suspicious before acting, and now his suspicion was confirmed. There was nothing to be surprised about…

He kept telling himself this, but upon truly seeing Chong Yu’s face, the Great Priest still immediately let go of his hand and took a step back, his dark eyes looking at him deeply, lost in thought.

Chong Yu, the Great Priest.

These two had the same face.

Huang Quan looked at Chong Yu and then at the Great Priest, feeling a headache coming on.

The same death line, the same name, the same appearance—one person without a soul, one with a soul, separated by who knows how many years. This situation was clearer than ever.

The Great Priest looked at Chong Yu and said calmly, “The last time you saw me, you were so surprised because of my appearance, right?”

Chong Yu didn’t speak, just nodded.

“The meticulously drawn map was taken by me, but you didn’t dare to continue fighting and reclaim it because you were worried that once I captured you, I would find out that we look alike?”

Another nod.

“Since you knew about this before I did, you must have thought about the reason. After thinking for so long, did you come up with anything?”

Chong Yu didn’t expect the Great Priest to not only remain unsurprised but also calmly ask him these questions. For a moment, he didn’t know how to answer and could only quietly look at him.

“What’s wrong?” the Great Priest asked. “Can’t you answer?”

Chong Yu shook his head, and after a while, he finally said with difficulty, “I thought about it.”

“You are my…”

“My soul reincarnated?” The Great Priest chuckled softly. “Who has seen a soul? Who has seen reincarnation?”

“Why do you think I am your reincarnation?”
