Transmigrated Into The Book

"Thank you for the food!" 

Lan Xianyu swallowed all the food inside his mouth and gulped the glass of water beside him. He made a big smile, showing that it already solved his hunger. 

The handsome man clicked his tongue after seeing a bean of rice at Xianyu's chin. "Wipe your mouth," he said, scowling at his brows. 

The male jolted in embarrassment, turning his head away. "S-Sorry…" he replied, wiping his mouth.

The other man across the table cleared his throat. He turned his gaze to the open window beside his seat. He saw the birds not far away from them flapping their wings above the trees. The noon sun was about to go down, it was nearly afternoon.

"Mister? What's your name?" Xianyu rubbed his nose. "You know my name, but I don't know yours," he added, squinting his eyes while looking at the handsome man. "Judging from your looks, you look suspicious," he said

The handsome man glanced at him. "If I am suspicious, then why did you eat the food I cooked?" he asked. "Aren't you surprised that it might be poisonous?" 

Lan Xianyu grabbed his own neck and tried to spit something. "What the heck!? Did you really put poison on it?!" he exclaimed, trying to scan his tongue.

The other man averted his gaze, suppressing his chuckle. "How impudent, I can kill you If I want... No need to poison you," he stated. "Instead of poison, I put some medicinal herbs in your soup," he said. He swayed his hands and in one blink, the book he was reading a while ago appeared in front of him. 

The other male witnessed it, leaving his jaw open. "Wow!" Xianyu exclaimed. "Are you a sorcerer or something?" he asked.

The book landed on Xianyu's head. "Are you an idiot!?" the handsome man asked with a scowl look. "It's the flow of my Qi energy," he replied. 

That answer made Xianyu more delighted, like he was seeing a magic trick. "What is Qi? Do I have that, too?" he asked, leaning closer to the man. But the moment that he realized that he was being tricked, he backed away and sat down properly. "Ehem... I'm asking your name, I don't know you but your voice was so familiar" he crossed his arms. 

"Jun Rouhan," the handsome man replied.

Xianyu stayed silent for a while. He was trying to recall if he already met or encountered the man in front of him. After minutes of thinking, he slammed his palm on the table. "I give up!" he blurted out. "I couldn't remember you," 

The answer he got did not surprise Jun Rouhan. Of course, he knew things that Lan Xianyu didn't know. The one thing he didn't know is how he gained a body. Did that man do it to him to accompany Chen Yang? 

"You couldn't remember anything, because all your memories have been erased." Jun Rouhan said as a blue light crackled around his fist as he clenched secretly. 

Lan Xianyu was now oozing out. He didn't know where to start, what to ask, or what kind of information he wanted to know. He was clueless, but he wasn't scared. It feels like he was doing this kind of thing for such a long time. The first time he opened his eyes felt so nostalgic, everything. 

"Hey Sir Jun! How old am I?"

Jun Rouhan clicked his tongue upon hearing the question. Xianyu was indeed hopeless. "You are in the body of a 20-year-old boy. Lan Xianyu has knowledge of healing. When you were young, a royal physician picked you up from the streets. You treated him as your father and both of you took the same journey." He explained.

Xianyu nodded and tilted his head. "Then What am I doing here? Do I have a mission here?" he asked.

Jun Rouhan moved closer to him and grasped his shoulders, "Listen, Chen Yang… You are borrowing this body because your body in your real world is weakening." He locked his eyes on the male. "Your soul is not yours anymore, you need to take it back" 

Lan Xianyu flinched. He felt something crawling inside his system. "W-What d-do you mean?" he uttered. "What do you mean, take it back?" 

The male let go and stood up "In the last world, you wished another life to be reincarnated" he said, trudging outside. Xianyu followed behind him. He stopped at the door. "Because you ask for two lives. That man took your soul," he said sternly.

Lan Xianyu grew more curious. "Who's that man? Is he as powerful as you?" Every question is getting to him slowly.

Rouhan clenched his jaw and mumbled. "That man...is the true owner of the book" He raised his hands, pointing at the forest. "And you need to defeat him" he closed his eyes and gathered all his Qi. It flowed from below and crawled into his arms and before Xianyu could realize, a powerful gust of wind made the trees fell cut into halves. 

Rouhan turned back to the male standing behind him. "You need to learn to cultivate your Qi energy back... I know that you have slept for over 2 years." He tapped the male's chest "I can sense a powerful energy from this body," he commented.

In so much excitement, Lan Xianyu grasped the man's hand. "Can I also do that?" He sprang up from his stance like a kid. "Can I also do that? I want to have powers too, Mister Jun!!" He kneeled down and hugged Rouhan's legs. "Please teach me how to do that!!" He pleaded.

Jun Rouhan wasn't expecting this. He held the male and let him stand up. "You don't need to do that. Tomorrow we will set out early in the morning," he said, turning around. 

"Where are we going, Mister Jun?!"

Jun Rouhan swayed the hem of his robe before stepping inside. "We will go to the Yunteng Village. I will teach you so many things so stay low for now, Xianyu"
