418 Seeing Through Her Identity

Chu Ning also looked at her big brother Chu Zhe in surprise. She knew what kind of person her big brother was.

From what she remembered before she came to this world, her big brother was truly a big brother. His business was so huge that he even had branches abroad.

However, such a powerful person was like a well-behaved student before this old man, waiting for his teacher to answer his questions.

“Look into your heart.” The Mountain God was slightly moved.

“Look into my heart?” Chu Zhe asked rhetorically.

“Just understand what you want and carry it out with determination. When you decide to do something, nothing can stop you. Don’t doubt your own judgment,” the Mountain God continued.

“I…will definitely be right?” Chu Zhe’s throat moved, and he spoke somewhat bitterly.

“No one’s decision is definitely right, but you have to make the people around you believe that you are right. The first step is to have firm beliefs.” The old man looked at Chu Zhe. It was as if he could see Chu Zhe appearing there again many years in the future. In front of his grave, Chu Zhe was softly recounting the hardships of his growth…

“Alright, thank you, Mountain God. I understand.” Chu Zhe nodded.

When he raised his head again, the last trace of confusion in his eyes had completely disappeared.

“Go, wait outside for a while. Your sister still has some questions.” The Mountain God waved his hand again, indicating that Chu Zhe could leave.

Chu Zhe stood and walked out.

In the small central room, only Chu Ning and the Mountain God were seated facing each other.

Incense was burning in the central room, emitting a faint fragrance.

“Young lady, come closer to me.” The Mountain God looked at Chu Ning and suddenly said.

Chu Ning did not hesitate. She shifted her chair closer to the old man.

The old man’s face was covered with wrinkles and his skin was loose, but his eyes were deep and obscure.

His eyes stopped on Chu Ning’s face for a few seconds.

“Sigh.”

The Mountain God heaved a deep sigh, and a rare look of exhaustion appeared on his face.

“What’s the matter, Sir? Are you feeling unwell?” Chu Ning quickly asked.

Although he was a Mountain God, this old man was over 90 years old after all.

“I’m fine.” The Mountain God shook his head.

“Young lady, you don’t belong to this world,” the Mountain God said softly, looking at Chu Ning.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Chu Ning felt her heart skip a beat.

Just like that, without any warning, the old man sitting opposite her had revealed her biggest secret.

He didn’t say that Chu Ning didn’t belong to this country or this world!

The Mountain God didn’t ask in a questioning tone, but was very certain.

Chu Ning simply nodded and did not ask the old man sitting opposite her how he knew her identity.

“I didn’t think that I would meet someone like you in my lifetime.” The Mountain God’s gaze flickered slightly. He seemed to have recalled something that had happened a long time ago.

“Is there someone else like me in this world?” Chu Ning asked.

“No, you’re the only one.” The Mountain God shook his head.

“I can’t answer your question. Or rather, no one in this world can answer your question. You are a free person.” The Mountain God’s face turned grave as he said the last few words.

“What is a free person?” Chu Ning asked subconsciously.

“There are no constraints,” the Mountain God continued.

“I understand.” Chu Ning nodded.

“However, the bond you have with this world is getting stronger and stronger. As time goes by, you will become one with this world. Maybe I won’t be able to see through your identity after another ten years, but I might not be alive after a decade,” the Mountain God said calmly.

The Mountain God pointed at Chu Zhe, who was outside, and then looked at Chu Ning. “I would advise him to stay true to his heart, but as for you, I don’t have the right. No one can decide your future. You can decide your own fate.”

“Sir, may I ask a question that I’m more curious about?” Chu Ning thought for a while before asking.

“Sure.” The Mountain God nodded.

“Is there a God in this world?” Chu Ning said softly.

“If there is a God, everyone’s existence will lose its meaning.” The Mountain God shook his head.

Although he was adept at divination and treatment, he was a firm atheist…

“But there can be faith, and faith is God,” the Mountain God added.

“Thank you.” Chu Ning stood up and bowed solemnly.

Although the Mountain God did not answer her question, it gave Chu Ning a peace of mind.

“Control your own fate…” Chu Ning muttered to herself.

After chatting with the Mountain God for a while, Chu Ning bade farewell to the old man and left.
